Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1217: Jealous Aggie St. Claus

"Tsk! Damn it, that kid is stronger than when he was on Earth!" Kronokel, who was entangled with the V-Gundam No. 1 and had been unable to shoot it down, became more and more anxious. The communication channel kept hearing his subordinates' panicked requests for help and screams of the dead. The friendly force identification signals on the radar were becoming fewer and fewer, and the enemy forces...did not decrease at all.

The most important thing is that he can clearly feel that his opponent has become stronger. Not only has the performance of his machine become stronger, but his driving skills have also improved a lot.

That unfamiliar new machine was no ordinary fighter either. It could fight against multiple enemies with ease and even annihilate them.

If this goes on any longer, it will no longer be a question of how to destroy the enemy and win, but rather how he can survive.

"Captain! Captain!"

"Retreat! Order the mothership in the rear to move forward to provide fire support, suppress the enemy's huge mothership, and ask for help from the surrounding fleets!" Even if Kronokel was unwilling, there was no other way at the moment. No matter how embarrassing it was, he had to survive and prove himself. He had to survive before he could do anything else.

"Got it... got it!"
Kronok's subordinates also breathed a sigh of relief. Kronok was a good commander. Unlike many officers in Zanskar, he did not treat his subordinates as pawns that could be discarded at any time. Choosing to retreat when faced with a disadvantage was the most sensible choice.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Seeing that Contio was about to retreat, Huso was unwilling to let it go and planned to chase it, but Ravenbird 30 appeared in time next to V-Gundam No. 1 and stopped it.

"Hu Suo, we don't have enough energy to pursue Mo Kou." Aggie Saint Claus reminded Hu Suo.

"...Understood." Hu Suo took a look at the remaining energy and found that it was indeed running out, and the ammunition of the beam rifle was almost used up.

"Mr. Edge, what do we do now?"

"Wait for orders. The man's words... are coming." Aggie St. Claus trusted Yang Hui very much. His reliable posture in battle gave him a sense of security. Sure enough, before he finished speaking, Yang Hui's order came.

"All aircraft return to the ship and prepare to evacuate the Elia space region."

"Evacuate?"
Except for Aggie St. Claus, Huso, Mabette and the members of the Shurak team were all very confused. The troops of the Zanskar Empire retreated. Didn't they win? Why did they retreat?

However, they soon understood the reason, because new enemy reactions appeared on the radar detection system. They were huge in size, at the battleship level, and fierce artillery fire from the battleships followed.

"Director Yang Hui, the radar has detected the Zanskar fleet!"

"I've been waiting for a long time, and I finally showed up. Calculate the trajectory of the bombardment, lock the direction of the source, and fire the heavy particle beam cannons No. 3 and No. 4 at the same time! Immediately gather all the MSs, turn 180 degrees, and evacuate the current space at the highest speed!"

There were countless battles, both large and small. Yang Hui had judged from the beginning that the Zanskar fleet was not far behind. How could such a large MS force act together without a mothership? So Yang Hui had been prepared and waited for the mothership to appear. He even speculated that the enemy must have asked for help from the surrounding friendly fleets. The combat power of [Drestriga] was extraordinary, and there were also V Gundam and Ravenbird 30, but facing the army of the Zanskar Empire, there was absolutely no chance of winning.

Unless... he can unlock [Erstellen (Creation)] now, then Yang Hui will not be afraid of anything and can directly push from here to the base camp of the Zanskar Empire.

……

"Hu Suo, are you okay?" The battle came to an end. Mabette and others didn't know whether they should follow Yang Hui's order to go to [Drestriga], but Hu Suo came out of that battleship, so they planned to ask about the situation first and then decide on the next course of action.

"I'm fine, Miss Mabette, Miss Junko, are you okay too?"

"It's okay. Fortunately, we have the command of that federal officer." Junko was still a little unhappy. She was given orders without knowing who was giving them. But she had to admit that the opponent's tactical command was indeed superb. If it weren't for his command, the Shurak team would definitely have lost members.

"Hu Suo, we are now..."

"Ms. Mabette, Miss Junko, please come back with us to [Drestriga]. Captain Mitsuha and Director Yang Hui will help us." Hu Suo requested. Although the contact time was very short, Hu Suo believed in his intuition very much. Mitsuha Greywallai and Yang Hui were both good people. They would not harm them, and... they would fight side by side for a long time in the future.

"Okay, I believe Hu Suo."

Not only Mabette, but also Junko and the members of Team Shurak had no objections. They trusted Husuo very much, and... they were also very curious about who the man who had just commanded them was.

Taking a look at the ongoing long-range naval artillery battle, Zanskar's army was approaching again. Without hesitation, everyone returned to the Dressrik as quickly as possible. However, when they were about to board the ship, V Gundam No. 1 suddenly stopped and looked at the universe beside it.

"A voice? Someone... is calling me?"

"Huso? What's wrong?" Edge Saint Claus asked worriedly beside V Gundam No. 1.

"Forget it, it's nothing." Hu Suo shook his head. Now was not the time to explore. The enemy army was about to arrive, so he quickly walked from the catapult deck into the interior of the Drestliga.

"Director Yang Hui, all MSs have been contained!"

"Turn 180 degrees, maximum combat speed!" "Understood!"

The gigantic Drestriga turned 180 degrees with great flexibility, with flames blazing at the tail end, and left the Elia space at an extremely fast speed.

……

"Tsk! Damn Federation Army, they are such cowards!" Chronokel, who was ready to wash away the shame, almost bit his teeth when he saw Dressriga leading the MS troops of the Holy Military Alliance away and returning with the fleet. He was defeated by a child, by the Federation Army, and by stragglers. This was a huge shame for him.

"Captain, should we give chase?" asked the subordinate.

"…No need." Although he was angry, Chronokel was also a rational person and would not act recklessly because of his personal emotions. The speed of [Drestriggar] was very fast, and Zanskar's battleships and MS could not catch up. Moreover, the true combat power of [Drestriggar] was still unknown, so he chased Moko.

Besides, the mission he received was to occupy the Elias Universe, not to fight with the Federal Army or the Holy Military Alliance. Now that the other side had retreated, his mission had been completed.

"Start cleaning up the battlefield and see if there are any survivors."

"Understood... Captain, we received a distress signal... Hmm? It's a civilian signal!"

"Civilian? Let me go and take a look." Kronokel drove the Contio to the source of the signal and saw two sets of civilian space suits drifting in the universe. Since they were civilians, Kronokel naturally could not leave them alone, so he rescued them and brought them back to the mothership. However, after bringing them back to the mothership, he was frightened by the people in the space suits.

"Huh? Such a young child? And a baby!? What the hell is going on!?"

……

Turning to the other side, [Drestriga] left the Elia space domain. After confirming that there were no pursuers behind, everyone on the ship relaxed and wiped the sweat from their foreheads... Hmm? When did they sweat?

"It looks like there will be no pursuers, Captain. We are safe for now." Yang Hui said to Sanye Greywallai.

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Yang Hui. You are still directing the performance brilliantly." Sanye Greywalla praised sincerely.

"Thank you for the compliment. The information will be saved in the database. You can take a look at it when you have time." Yang Hui waved his hand.

"This... I understand." Sanye Greywallai was stunned for a moment, but soon figured out what Yang Hui meant. Yang Hui was teaching her a lesson, not only about the captain's responsibilities, but also the tactical command ability that a captain should have.

Reynold Harding on the side was also thoughtful, because he felt that Yang Hui's words were not only directed at Sanye Greywallis, but also at himself.

The captain does not need such detailed command ability, especially the tactical command of the MS units and the precise command of the fire control system. These things... should be under the jurisdiction of him as the deputy captain. The tactical command of the MS units should be the responsibility of the captains of each MS unit, and the captain is generally responsible for giving general instructions.

"Director Yang Hui, everyone from the Holy Military Alliance has boarded the ship. Come with me to greet them." Sanye Greywallai took the initiative to invite Yang Hui. This was also one of the things she had learned. She was the captain, not a decoration. On this warship, she had to show the attitude of a captain. She could show respect, but she could not lose her dominant position.

Yang Hui nodded with satisfaction at Sanye Greywallis's performance. Although it was just a small detail, Yang Hui always followed the principle that "details determine success or failure". This showed that Sanye Greywallis was growing and improving, and his education was not meaningless. This was enough.

"No problem, Captain."

"Deputy Captain, you come along too, Lian. The bridge is now in your hands. Always pay attention to your surroundings." Mitsuye Greywalle then gave instructions to Reynold Harding and CIC Lian.

"Understood." X2
……

The hangar was still very lively at this time. Eight new MSs had been added. Although it was still not many, it made the empty hangar look a lot fuller, and the mechanical technicians who had been open and closed now had a place to use their skills.

Mabette from V-Gundam Unit 2 and the older sisters from Team Shurak surrounded Huso immediately after getting off the plane, asking him about his well-being and hugging him tightly one after another, which made Edge Saint Claus' eyes red.

"Kusou~! So enviable! Is this the power of a shota? Is there no market for mature men now!?" Aggie St. Claus was jealous and envious. He also fought hard! Why didn't the older sister treat him so kindly! ?
"You want to join in too?"

"Of course... no!" Aggie St. Claus subconsciously answered in the affirmative, but found that the voice was wrong and very familiar. He turned around and saw that it was Sanye Greywallai and immediately denied it! "I am criticizing this behavior! Hu Suo is still a child! It is simply immoral!"

"Haha, I'll take that as it is." How could Sanye Greywalle not see that Aggie St. Claus was quibbling? He chuckled and didn't say much, but... Was it because of me that Aggie St. Claus was so excited to refute?

Sanye Greywallis suddenly thought of this and her pretty face turned slightly red, but it was fleeting.

Yang Hui took in the whole thing, with the corners of his mouth raised as he ate the melon... ahem, it was a smile of relief.
