"So my disciple is here too?" Cole asked Ji Bu.
"Yes, she's on the left side of the Hope.”
" Connecting to the Hope." Cole said to a clone beside the communication station.
"Yes, sir."
Soon, Abby's figure appeared on the holographic communication platform.
Master, you're finally here!" Abby said happily when she saw that it was Cole on the hologram. At the same time, she bowed to Cole.
"My little disciple, when did you arrive?”Cole asked kindly.
"Just a few days earlier than Master."
"Really? How do you feel?"
"It's nothing, Master. The past few days had been very peaceful. It was just that participating in the war was a little tense.”
Cole nodded cooperatively." Come to the main ship now. I have something to give you.”Cole suddenly thought of something and said to Abby.
"Yes, Master." Abby blinked her very distinctive eyes, revealing a little curiosity.
－－－－－－－
"Master." Soon, Abby appeared in the command room of the main ship.
"You seem to have changed a lot after not seeing you for a few days.”Cole said jokingly.
Master, you've changed a lot too." Abby said seriously.
After the baptism of war, Cole was indeed much more mature than before.
Some idle chatter.
"Alright!" Cole suddenly stopped talking.
"Abby Taylor." Cole called out her full name.
Although she didn't know why her master was doing this, Abby still straightened her body immediately.
"Now, on behalf of the Jedi Order, I grant you the right to use the lightsaber.”Cole's voice was solemn. As he spoke, he took out a lightsaber from the cloth belt behind him.
Cole had prepared this lightsaber a long time ago, and its quality was naturally much higher than those mass-produced for war.
The black and white sword hilt was elegant and harmonious. The specially modified grip was just right for Abby's small palm. The slightly shorter hilt did not reduce its power in the slightest. It could be seen that Cole had put in a lot of effort in these areas.
Cole's concern for Abby was well reflected in these things.
Abby took it with both hands and carefully tied it around her waist. There was obvious joy in his eyes.
" It's a time of war now, so the Knights allow you Jedi apprentices to use lightsabers. However, there are a few things you must take note of.”Cole's tone changed and became a little serious.
"A lightsaber is a lifeform of a dead end. You must remember this. As a part of the Force, the lightsaber was not just a weapon.”Cole didn't mention those basic things again. He believed that Master had already taught him when he obtained the apprentice lightsaber.
Abby was deep in thought.
Cole continued, his tone even more serious." Now almost all the Jedi Knights have joined the war and resorted to violence. Using violence to stop violence is very likely to encourage things that we should not be involved in.”He paused for a moment and warned her.
"Bullying the weak, arrogant, blind, and radical. I don't want these things to appear on you in the future. You have to understand that the light sword does not represent martial strength, but the wisdom of life.”
Cole looked into Abby's eyes." This is also the reason why I taught you to control your emotions. You have to control your heart. If you fall in the war, I will take it back without hesitation.”
The subtext in her words was very obvious. Abby nodded with a firm expression.
Although Cole did not agree with some of the things in the PUBG Creed, he allowed himself or his disciple to go beyond the boundaries. However, there was a bottom line. Cole had a boundary in his heart that he was not allowed to cross.
Therefore, Cole said these words to his disciple at this time.
－－－－－－－
Cole couldn't help but find it funny when he saw his disciple's fearful expression.
He slowed down his tone." I can't help but envy you. You obtained the lightsaber earlier than me.”Cole changed the topic.
Abby thought about it for a while and came back to her senses. After listening to Cole's words, more of his thoughts had already shifted to the newly obtained lightsaber.
Cole saw through Abby's inner thoughts.
"Go ahead and be careful."”
"I'm not a child." Abby retorted, but Cole could hear the impatience in her tone.
" I didn't seem to be this excited back then. Could it be that I'm more mature?" Cole thought to himself.
－－－－－－－－
After sending off his apprentice, Cole once again turned his attention to the battle.
Forcefully breaking through was indeed feasible, but the losses would be huge. It was the worst plan.
The Republic had only allocated three Destroyers to Cole, which could not withstand the consumption of a head-on battle.
Then, help? There was a certain degree of feasibility, but now that the war had just begun, there might not be anyone who could withdraw and provide assistance.
Cole turned to ask Jimb,"Is there a distribution of troops on the ground?"”
Cole confirmed the possibility of a ground assault.
"Yes, this is a planet of the Republic after all. Some of the resistance groups sent some intelligence through the communication devices left behind by the Chinese.”Jimb brought up the image on the light screen.
"Here, here, and here. The Trade Federation has established a base." Jibu's finger circled three places on the planet's image, and the distance between the places was very close.
Cole frowned and asked in a questioning tone,""If we were to pass through the asteroid belt behind the planet, how many fighter jets would we be able to avoid detection?”
"There are no more than five small fighter jets. If it's a transport plane, there are at most two. The Trade Federation had set up surveillance cameras on many asteroids, so it was easy to detect them if there were too many of them.”
Two? It seemed to be enough. "Can you contact the resistance organization on the planet?”
"I don't know. The communication was cut off two days ago. The Trade Federation seemed to have jammed their communications.”Ji Bu replied.
Cole rubbed his chin and made a decision. "Give me the communication code. I'll try to contact them.”

"Soldiers, come here. Commander Spedon is going to give a lecture." Jelek took off his helmet and gathered the clone soldiers who were working on the helipad.
"Hello, everyone. I am the commander of these three warships. My name is Cole Sputon.”He pointed at Abby beside him." She's my apprentice, Abby Taylor.”
"Today is my first day on this ship, so I'm not familiar with you. However, I believe that the soldiers serving on my ship are definitely the best soldiers of the Republic. Isn't that right?" Cole's tone was high.
"Yes, sir."
With some encouraging words, Cole roused the morale of the soldiers.
"Now, I need you to follow me and secretly enter the planet behind us. This mission is very dangerous, and there is a possibility of death…"
"Reporting, sir. We are not afraid of sacrifice." a clone said firmly.
Cole smiled back." This battle is related to whether we can minimize our losses. After all, we still have many battles to fight. I don't want to be eliminated early.”
" Are you confident?!"
"Yes!" The clones present replied loudly.
"Then, board the ship and prepare to set off.”Cole waved his hand and gave the order.
Here's a brief explanation of what happened to Anakin's mother.
Although Cole knew the plot, he did not know the exact time. From Master Windu's words in the movie, it was not hard to tell that the Jedi Knights were very busy in the early stages of the war. Cole was probably on a mission as well, so he couldn't make it back on time to save Anakin's mother.
Besides, his mother was not just cannon fodder. She was related to his future growth. At Ximi's grave, Anakin said,"I don't have enough power to save you now, Mother. I'm not strong enough…but I promise, I promise I won't fail again.”There was even a terrifying declaration: "I will be stronger than any Jedi Knight, so strong that I can stop people from dying one day.”
