Adekos watched with no small measure of satisfaction as the harassing bomber crashed into the earth, having been disposed of by the air support he called. With that abysmal little wretch out of the way, the real slaughter would begin. His satisfaction was then eclipsed by his pride as his earnest apprentice lobbed a bolder at the Rebel formation- particularly the one Rebel who appeared to be shouting orders. Adekos could feel the fear rolling off of this ill-fated rabble. They were retreating.
There was a sudden intensification of firepower on the Rebel's side, but by now it was too late to affect any real change. After that brief spurt, the return fire all but died. It was whittled down to just the rocketeers as the rest of them fled. It would have been simple to give chase, but Adekos found a trap to be far too likely. Those sociopaths had already tried to bring down a mountain. Who knew what other ludicrous encampments were ahead. No, Adekos was only getting as close to the Rebel airbase as he needed to be. And this was more than close enough, considering his artillery and anti-aircraft material had been untouched throughout this skirmish.
"They're retreating. Should we pursue?" One of the four TA4s lingering near Adekos and Jemmila inquired.
"No, let them run. Maintain fire until they're driven off."
A single rocket sailed from the Rebel position, smashing into the ground. Again, these were difficult to aim when under fire from an assorted legion of Talos-Series battle droids and about four main battle tanks. If his soldiers were unable to land a hit on those meddling rocketeers, Adekos would do it himself. There was a symphony of mechanical whirs and clicks as the Umbaran's cybernetic arm re-congfigured itself into the long range variant of the Nyax Arm Cannon V2-A. Adekos lofted his arm up to take aim, the targeting system built into his helmet allowing him to do so more precisely.
He locked on to the first rocketeer he found. With an effective range of some three hundred meters, this would be a cinch. He squeezed off one shot, a lethal ion beam flying through the air on a collision course with the Rebel in question. There was little hesitation or time between that and Adekos' move to the next one, locking on target, and then devoting a single shot to him as well. They would be dead men in the coming moments.
"Carach. This is Adekos. How are you?" Adekos spoke into his comms even as he scoured the field for a third rocketeer. He settled his sights on [member="Blane Nightfall"] himself.
Given the lack of communication or action from Carach, Adekos was now inclined to believe that the Sith Lord was not napping in his tank. Rather, Carach was probably in there with one of his dozens of assorted lovers, concubines, and consorts.
Adekos glanced at Jemmila. Good- still there.
"The Rebels who attacked us are retreating. Order your artillery to fire on the Rebel Airbase. You should have a clear shot now- don't let up until the airbase is rubble."
The targeting system pinged quietly, only audible to Adekos, as it acquired a lock on Blane. Less than a moment later there was another ion disruptor shot arcing through the air, intent on finding a home in the Rebel Commander.
