Chapter 47 - Odd Strategy (1/2)

General Shaak Ti looked down, to where Hell Squad was and used a microphone to ask if they were ready. As an answer, Dageer raised his DC-15A, and then the timer started counting.

Hell Squad advanced together, as a unit to the first bit of cover. From that point onwards, every other crate or fortress they wanted to reach would be full of droids. Dageer them made a decision that the clone cadets were trained not to do, that was direct Hell Squad to the left, where their backs would be against the wall.

That meant that, although they wouldn't be flanked, they wouldn't be able to run if things got too hot. Only Dageer new what he was thinking when he ordered that.

-------------------------

On the benches, clones were cheering loud for them, but they all frowned when they saw Hell Squad moving to the left, totally against the logic.

On a higher stage, General Shaak Ti was together with the two bounty hunters, a Siniteen called Bric and an Arcona called El-Les. At this moment Bric, who before had complained a lot about the 'show', was impressed now.

”They aren't actually as bad as I thought.”

General Shaak Ti looked to Bric weirdly. She had thought that he would be angry with them not following the tactic-books.

”Why are you so impressed Bric? They are doing the opposite of what you teach.”

El-Les intervened.

”I can answer that for him, general. If soldiers without battle sense do that, it is the same as suicide, since they wouldn't have enough space to dodge. But, as battle-hardened men, and a special unit on top of that, Hell Squad can make the most out of it.”

”Yes, general. You might be a jedi, but this is the first time you went to war.”
