Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1314 Arrival at Jirkustan

On Earth, in the middle of the Indian Ocean, in Zilkustan, on the desert covered with yellow sand, there is a dense layer of debris, of various kinds, including those of mechanical beasts, metal beasts, the Zanskar Empire, the Karawud Kingdom, and even those of invaders.

"Puch~!"

As the spinning spear broke through the solid outer armor, pierced the flesh and blood, and shattered the core hidden inside the body, the last invader was declared dead, and the battle in the current area was temporarily over.

"Tsk, that's really annoying, Gilbert."

"Your Highness, please give me your orders." The [Rising Sun Series] in the appearance of a knight came to Cornelia's [Rose Witch], knelt on one knee respectfully, and waited for the queen's orders.

"Send a message to Lelouch, all enemies in area B21 have been eliminated, ask him where we are going next?" Cornelia ordered.

"Yes! Your Highness..."

"Drip drip drip..."

"It seems that these bugs are unwilling to let us leave like this." Just before Gilbert was about to report to Lelouch, the radar detection system showed a new reaction. Without even looking at the enemy logos that appeared one after another on the radar detection system, one could see with the naked eye that the invaders who had just been wiped out suddenly descended again, falling with a bloody light, one after another.

"Your Highness, there are so many invaders again... We have been fighting for seven hours. If we continue, there will probably be casualties." Gilbert looked at the increasing number of invaders, which soon exceeded a hundred and were still increasing rapidly. He couldn't help but remind Cornelia.

Before this group of invading beasts arrived, they had been fighting in this area for seven hours, destroying all kinds of enemies. The thick layer of debris on the ground was the best proof of this.

It's not that Gilbert was scared, but they really couldn't hold on any longer. Apart from Cornelia, he and his teammate Dalton were the top B-class pilots. The others were slightly inferior, and their physical strength and energy were almost gone. Even if their machines could still hold on, they would collapse. If they continued to fight, there would definitely be casualties.

"…Tell Lelouch immediately to send reinforcements." Cornelia is not a reckless person who seeks quick success and instant benefits. On the contrary, she is magnanimous and rational on the battlefield. She is very aware of the current dangerous situation. Not to mention her subordinates, even she herself is a little overwhelmed. She has not yet been promoted to an A-class pilot, and the machine she drives is only the [Rising Sun Series], not the [Dawn Series], let alone awakening.

Therefore, she had to apply for support, otherwise her subordinates would definitely suffer casualties. These were elite soldiers who had followed her in battles across the country and survived. The loss of any one of them would be heartbreaking for her.

"Yes, Your Highness..."

"Drip drip drip..."

"Huh? There are still enemies? No... this is it!"

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Before the words fell, dozens of energy beams fell from the sky to the ground, sweeping away the invaders that appeared one after another. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the barren earth was dyed with a bright color. Several meteors streaked through the sky and came in front of the [Rose Witch Knights], protecting them behind them.

"Cornelia, are you okay?" Yang Hui asked with concern. Just by looking at the current situation on the battlefield, Yang Hui knew that they had been fighting for a long time.

"You still have some conscience." Cornelia raised a bright smile. Her man always liked to appear at the most critical moment, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"The Rose Witch Knights retreat, leave this to us." Yang Hui gave orders to Cornelia. Yang Hui heard fatigue in Cornelia's voice.

"Understood." Cornelia did not try to be brave. With the strong support of Yang Hui and others, it was impossible for any problems to occur in this area. Now that Yang Hui and others have arrived, Drei Kreuz must have arrived as well. They can retreat and have a good rest.

After the Rose Witch Knights safely evacuated, Yang Hui's eyes were filled with murderous intent towards these invaders: "All aircraft, destroy these invaders."

"Understood." XN
Everyone knew that Yang Hui was angry. His wife was his Achilles' heel. Anyone who touched her would die.

The Drystriga and White Fortress, which were chasing closely behind, also arrived. Together with the Erstellen (Creation) and Abschneiden (Severance) units that had gone ahead, they formed a front-and-back pincer attack. With full firepower, they wiped out all the invaders that appeared one after another in less than half an hour. They did not lift the first-level combat configuration until the red light stopped descending and no new enemy planes appeared.

"Yang Hui, that red light..." Xia Ya reminded Yang Hui that he sensed a familiar feeling in the special red energy.

"And these invaders are stronger than invaders from other places, and their performance has been improved in all aspects." Graham added. Combat is the most intuitive feeling. With Graham's ability, he can detect the difference between ordinary invaders and invaders descended by red light as soon as they come into contact. "Finally, the flaws are exposed." Yang Hui's eyes were also condensed. Of course, he also found the problems that Xia Ya and Graham could find, and the familiarity was even stronger. There is no doubt that the special red energy came from the Temple of Slaughter and from the Knight.

"Drip drip..."

"Captain Mitsuha, please speak."

"Colonel Yang Hui, no enemy remains have been found in the area so far. High Priest Shamna of Jilkustan has also sent a communication saying that the battles in the surrounding areas have ended and the remaining enemy forces have disappeared. They have invited us to go to Jilkustan."

"Understood. All aircraft return to the ship immediately."

The current area is still some distance away from Jirkustan and the surrounding refugee camps that receive refugees, so there is no need to send anyone to guard it. With the mobility of the Promise Legion, once the observation post discovers the enemy, it will only take five minutes from attacking to engaging the enemy.

……

The Drestligar and the White Fortress arrived in Zilkustan together. In the sky, a Macross-class battleship exactly the same as the White Fortress was hovering in the air, and there were several quarter-class Macross battleships guarding it. At the same time, one could see that from all directions, quarter-class Macross battleships were returning one after another and joining the fleet.

"Although it's not the first time I've seen it, it still feels shocking." Aggie St. Claus looked out the window at the quarter-level Macross battleships that were returning to the organization one after another, and couldn't help but sigh.

The earth is different from the universe. The sense of weightlessness and the boundless distance will amplify people's senses. Also due to the lack of reference points, the more than 1600-meter-long Macross-class battleship and the two-kilometer-long [Drestriga] do not look that impactful.

But on Earth, there are too many reference objects, making the Dressrigar and Macross-class battleships seem more oppressive and impactful.

In the New Fuji Research City, Edge Saint Claus and others had seen the Third Fleet led by Gerhardt, but they were still shocked when they saw Tessa Testarossa's Sixteenth Fleet.

"According to the information provided by the database, the 16th Fleet is a newly formed fleet and is very young in the Promise Legion." Kugimiya Kei said, recalling the information he had viewed.

"Are you kidding? Is this a newly formed fleet?" Led by Date Takamori, Ando Masaki, Asagi Shunichi, Shun Kazunaka, Irie Tamaki, Hibiki Yuta, Utsumi Masaru, and Takarada Rikka were horrified. The strict formation of the 16th Fleet, the orderliness when returning to the team, and the ability to maintain vigilance, these didn't seem like the qualities of a newly formed fleet, right?

"Because the members of this fleet are basically veterans, survivors of at least one major battle." Ladis F. Blasuta added that he had done a lot of homework on the way to Zilkustan. "The fleet commander, Theresa Testarossa, is from the world of Full Metal Panic. She is a super genius. At the age of 16, she could command a troop to fight all over the country. Her mission completion rate is as high as 99%, and her combat loss rate is less than 5%."

"Eh?"XN
"After joining the Promise Corps, Commander Theresa often consulted with famous generals such as General Rebir and General Tianm. She also has rich practical experience that we can hardly imagine. How could she be an ordinary person to stand out from the entire Promise Corps and be appointed as the commander of a reorganized fleet? Oh, by the way, the information shows that she is also a Whisperer."

"Whisperer?"
"A special race in the world of Full Metal Panic. In their world, the Whisperers seem to be able to receive the black technology transmitted by the signal tower. The specific details are not recorded in the data."

"Oh."XN
"Not only Commander Theresa, the ace of the fleet, the Nightmare Knights and the Twelve Zodiacs led by Colonel Yang Hui, and the Rose Witch Knights led by Princess Cornelia, they are all among the best regiments in the Promise Legion."

"It's a very strange feeling."

"Indeed, it's very fantastic. There are many members of the Nightmare Knights and the Twelve Zodiacs who were originally enemies, such as Mr. Suzaku and Ms. Kallen, as well as Mr. Fujido Kagamishiro and Mr. Jeremiah..."

"That's the most important one, right?"

"Yeah, even though they're not from the same world, it's scary to think that he's showing up again."

"The Tyrant Emperor Lelouch V. Bunitalia..."

……

Lelouch, who was being discussed by everyone, had already met Yang Hui on the ground. As soon as they met, he started to curse: "Yang Hui! You bastard!"

"What's wrong? Are you so angry?" Are you kidding? Yang Hui doesn't understand Lelouch? He's his naughty little brother who grew up under his watch. Of course he knows why he's angry! But he just pretends not to understand, just playing!
"Humph! Don't you know?!" Lelouch was furious when he saw Yang Hui acting like him. "You bastard! What kind of shitty mission world did you choose? Why would I do those things in this world? Also, do you know that your one order has made me wait for you here for several months? You're just leaving me alone for fun, right?!"
