Cole's fleet was now in a precarious situation. The three squadrons of fighter jets were almost gone after this battle. Cole's Jedi mech also suffered some damage from the intense artillery fire, but it was not too serious.
Compared to the situation of the fighter jets, the situation of the battleship was even worse. The protective shield was almost penetrated, and half of the weapon system was paralyzed. If it was not for the manual operation, it might have already withdrawn from the battlefield.

" Control the balance of the left wing." Abby was commanding the battle. Although she was only 11 years old, she looked calm and mature.
Bang! The battleship shook violently. Abby held onto the stool beside her to keep herself from falling.
"Sir, our right balance wing has been hit and will tilt.”Without the clone soldiers saying anything, the warship that flipped to the right was the best explanation.
"Increase the propulsion power on the right side, reduce the energy transmission from the tail, and replenish the energy of the shield in front.”Abby said calmly.
Under Abby's instructions, the warship regained its balance. However, the artillery fire was still fierce, but it was destroyed by the protective shield.
Just as he was about to give up hope, a late message appeared on the communication station.
"Master Kaliya." Abby wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Apprentice Abby, where's your master?”
"Master is fighting for time for us at the front.”
Kaliya nodded." Move your fleet back. It's time to counterattack."”
After ending the communication with Kaliya, Abby instantly connected to Cole.
"Master, Master Kaliya's fleet is here. You can return now.”
"Alright." Cole exhaled. He gave the retreat command to the armband.
However, this matter was too simple. Unknowingly, the nine battleships had already formed an encirclement around Cole's fleet. Retreating was easier said than done.
This was especially true for the flagship, Concordia. Its power was severely insufficient to support the protective shield, and the damaged balance wings had become a huge problem.
Therefore, when Cole led the fighter jet back to the Messenger, Abby made a decision on Concorde.
"Cover them and let them out. We'll stay here and draw the fire.”Abby gave the order to the clone soldiers, but no one showed any abnormality at this time. The clones stayed at their posts calmly, and Abby's eyes were filled with determination.
Just as Abby decided to sacrifice herself to buy time for Cole to retreat, Cole froze on the spot. He suddenly held his forehead, and a blurry scene appeared in his mind. The scene that terrified him was when a red sword of light stabbed at Abby, and then it returned to darkness.
A sign? According to Cole's knowledge, there was a high possibility that this omen would come true.
Therefore, Cole quickened his pace towards the command room.
"Jibu, connect to the communication with the Concord.”"Alright." Jimb pressed a few buttons on the control panel.
However, there was no response.
Cole turned to look at the star system map. The yellow dot representing Concorde was moving toward the back of the retreating ship, hiding most of the firepower. Cole immediately saw through Abby's plan.
Gritting his teeth, Cole connected the communication with Kaliya's fleet.
"Master Kaliya, the Concord is trapped in the center and cannot escape. I need your help.”Cole was slightly anxious.
Kaliya turned around and asked a clone officer beside him. When he turned back, his expression was serious and he looked very helpless. "No, we don't have enough firepower to force our way in.”
Kaliya's troops had indeed been greatly exhausted after the battle. But Cole did not think that they had lost their ability to rescue.
" Then..." Cole did not finish his sentence and turned off the communication.
Cole sighed. This was how the land of peril worked. It was selfless and merciless. Of course, a Jedi Master like Kaliya would carry out this ruthless Jedi creed.
I can't count on you guys. "Ji Bu, you will lead the fleet. Quickly leave and join up with Kaliya's troops.”
"But Master Kaliya said…"
"This is my order as the commander of this battle.”Cole firmly gave the order, then turned around and left the command room, running towards the boarding platform.

Another fighter jet flew out from a warship that was moving backward. The symbol of a dangerous land was engraved on the body of the plane. It was very special.
With a flip of the lever, Cole dodged a few missiles and flew the fighter jet towards the center of the artillery fire.
At this moment, Cole's Holy Land communicator rang, indicating that it was a message from the Holy Land Temple.
Sure enough, Ace's head appeared in the holographic image. "Cole, return immediately. The fleet still needs your command.”
Master, I won't listen to you this time.
Cole did not hesitate when he made this decision. In essence, Cole was just an ordinary human in the guise of a Jedi. He only used the rules of the Jedi to demand himself and suppress some of his own thoughts. In his heart, he had even more complicated emotions than the dangerous lands. After all, this was not his first life.
Facing Ace's serious face, Cole smiled.""I can't give up on them and my acolytes.”
"Cole, do you want to disobey the order of the samurai?”Ace was very surprised.
Perhaps the other Jedi would listen to the orders of the Order and consider the bigger picture. However, Cole had no intention of listening to him at this moment.
Without answering, Cole turned off his communicator.
" Although my future is uncertain, at least I have control over it," Cole thought calmly.
When Cole made this seemingly impulsive decision, he felt as if a lock had been unlocked in his heart, and a door that had been sealed off was gradually opening up to him.

"Master, why are you here?" Abby was surprised and touched by Cole's reaction.
"Silly disciple!" Cole placed his hand on Abby's head. This was the first time Cole had done such a thing, but the master and disciple seemed very natural.
Abby seemed to be able to understand Cole's thoughts at this moment. She looked up at Cole's calm face and seemed to feel that something had changed in him again. There was an indescribable feeling.
" Report the damage to the hull." Cole asked.
"Firepower system remaining at 34%, kinetic energy remaining at 21%, shield energy remaining at 13%..." A clone beside the monitoring platform reported the situation of Concorde truthfully.
Cole analyzed for a moment and made a last-ditch move." Transfer kinetic energy to the protective shield. Focus the shield on the upper left.”
As he spoke, Cole walked to the front of the bridge and changed the coordinates. Pulling up the control lever, he began to operate the warship himself. There was a desolate planet on the lower right. Under such circumstances, forcing a forced landing seemed to have a chance of survival.
I remember that Anakin had done this before, and now it was my turn. Cole thought to himself.
"Sit tight." Cole shouted, and the warship turned awkwardly and rushed towards the target planet.
