Chapter 30 - Wookie Village

Dageer advanced through the trees. The droid fire was concentrated on the middle of the clone positions. One clone fell on Dageer right. He leaned to the side and shot his DC-15A at one of the droids, getting the kill. This, however, attracted the attention of the other droids.

Laser fire hit the tree he was hidden behind, forcing him to abandon it for other one, as it started to fell.

Fortunately, the droids were soon distracted by other clones, giving him the chance to fire again, killing another droid. This way they advanced, and Dageer got the members of Hell Squad to stay together with him.

There was a thirty meters long clear area between the droid base and the trees. Dageer turned to Commander Cody and asked for cover fire.

A barrage of lasers hit the droid defences, forcing them to stay quiet. Hell Squad took the chance to run, and arrived safely at the base of the walls. They run sticking to the wall to the hole on it. The droids guarding it were among the first that the clones have taken down, so they entered the base undetected.

"Dab, Cell and Tech, take the right side. Go up the ramp and fire as soon as you have a clear shot. Brain, Three-four, we will do the same on the left. Also, Dab, why don't you take the chance to test your new toy?"

Dab chuckled.

"With pleasure sir."

The two groups went separate ways. Dageer went up the left ramp, and looked. There were about twelve droids, and from there he could also see the right side. Dab, Tech and Cell were ready, Dab was fixing something on his DC-15x.

Dageer took out a thermal detonator, pressed the button and waited two seconds before tossing it out.

The explosion destroyed four or five of the unsuspecting battle droids. At Dageer side, Brain and Three-four four also opened fire.

BANG!

A big explosion shook the air. Although they were in the middle of a combat, Dageer could not help but turn and look. Dab has fired his weapon, and about seven droids were dead, and another three or four have been thrown to the ground.

Dab was an weapon expert, and on the few days they didn't have nothing to do on the ship he have made some modifications on his DC-15x. He installed some sort of charging component on it, so when he activated it, his shot would become explosive rounds. He could switch between that and the normal sniper shots.

Of course this also had his downside, as he had to wait a long time to fire again, and lost some range. For that reason he started carrying with him a DC-15S.

Dageer started firing again, and some of the droid laser fire hit the ground next to him. However, the droids were surprised, and were also getting fired from the clones on the forest.

As on of the droids turned to fire at Dageer group his head was shot off by someone outside. This distracted the droids once again, as theirs dumb AI couldn't decide what to do.

The clones have already discovered that taking out the droid commander was the same as cutting their brain off. Without someone giving orders they would shoot the person that was shooting them, not the ones close to them.

The clone forces only took about twenty or thirty casualties to take the droid base, which was pretty good. If there wasn't a hole in the walls for Hell Squad to enter, the death toll would have been much bigger.

They encountered another two droid bases on the way, all of them semi-destroyed. Only after them did they find General Kenobi. He was spying on a wookie village, where combat seemed to be going on.
