Gundam, Iron Banner

Chapter 330 Three: Miss

Kruse couldn't help but not be angry. When he set off, he specifically told Addis to pay attention to the side, but turned around and fell into the enemy's trick.It cannot even be said that there is a gap in the strength of the commanders. It is purely that Adis was dazzled by the advantages, which led to the current situation.

"Sure enough, humans are always addicted to superficial phenomena...!"

Seeing that the fleet was severely damaged, Kruse immediately issued an order to disperse the ships, and at the same time his own aircraft was preparing to evacuate.

The most taboo thing in a fleet battle is being encircled. When both sides are attacked, the outcome is already determined.

For the ZAFT Army, it was a blessing in misfortune that the Nazca-class was not hit by the engine. Although the damage was severe, the basic mobility was not lost.After Adis recovered his senses, he immediately cut off the damaged part according to Kruse's instructions, and quickly prepared to leave the front line.

Among the crew of the Archangel, there are also excellent talents. Bucky Lulu saw through the enemy's movements at a glance, and shouted: "It's now! Prepare to launch Loangrin! Adjust the direction of the bow!"

As soon as the words fell, the front hatch of the Archangel opened, revealing the huge gun muzzle inside.As the positron cannon starts to store energy, its bow moves to the enemy's position.

As the saying goes, human beings are born with the instinct to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.It is not surprising that some kind of warning flashes in your mind when you feel that your life is in danger.

Adis's command ability is not strong, but when the crisis is approaching, he is keenly aware of the dangerous atmosphere floating in the universe.The cold sweat dripping from his back wet his underwear, and he shouted loudly, "Lower the ship! Hurry up!"

After all, the adjuster is the adjuster, and even the operator's reflexes are quite fast, and he quickly followed the instructions.

The Vesalis sank rapidly toward the bottom.Immediately afterwards, two energy cannons that could almost tear space apart blasted towards this side.

It was the positron city-breaking cannon launched by the Archangel, and in an instant, the ZAFT ship blocking the launch path was completely melted.Immediately afterwards, the power of the energy cannon remained undiminished, and it went straight through the original route of the Vesalis.

The Positronic city-breaking cannon did not directly hit the Vesalis, but even so, the galloping rays melted part of its top armor.

There was a dead silence on the bridge of the Vesalis, and everyone dared not breathe.After regaining his senses, he quickly steered the ship back and left the battle line at full speed.

Seeing this, You Bai immediately charged away, pulling out the beam rifle with his left hand to aim at the rear engine of the enemy ship.

Seeing that the beam was about to hit, Kruse blocked the path at the right time, and received the two fatal attacks with a shield.At the same time, he raised his gun to fight back, aiming to disrupt You Bai's rhythm and prevent him from continuing to achieve results.

"Don't get in the way!"

You Bai retracted the beam rifle, drew his sword and charged upwards.The cloak hanging on the right shoulder kept shaking with the movement.

He split the beam continuously, and then slashed towards the cockpit of "Duel".Kruse immediately raised his shield to block the attack. Unexpectedly, the cloak on the right shoulder of "Heretic" was raised automatically, and the invisible arm hidden inside quickly cut off the head of "Duel" along his neck.

"Xunlei's arm?!"

Only now did Kruse react to the opponent's conspiracy.

The modified "Heretical" still maintains a damaged head and looks very embarrassed.But in fact, it was all a disguise. You Bai just wanted to make the enemy think that the "Heretic" hadn't been repaired, so that he could find an opportunity to use his invisible right arm to achieve a crucial blow.

With the head cut off, the cockpit of "Duel" was suddenly pitch black, and it took time to switch the auxiliary camera, and Kruse could only pull back the distance.Cover the cockpit position with a shield and perform evasive movements in irregular paths.

You Bai didn't need to hide it anymore, he took out the beam rifle with his left hand again, and the muzzles of both guns fired at the same time, and the beams rained down on Kruzer.His attacks are not inaccurate, even if the "Duel" shield is large enough, it can't cover the flaws in his body.

So "Duel" was hit one after another. Although they were not in critical positions, these injuries were enough to dispel Kruse's desire to continue fighting.

……

On the other side, Mu, who was struggling with "Storm", flashed an electric current in his brain. He seemed to have sensed the resentment and unwillingness in Kruse's heart. The sight of repelling.

As the battle between the two came to an end, Mu felt more and more that there was a special sense of existence in the machine they were driving, which inexplicably gave people the feeling of being pierced by thousands of silver needles in their backs.

"It's not just Kruse, I actually feel the existence of that person...?!"

Different from Kruzer's gloomy and sharp sense, You Bai gave him the feeling that he was enveloped by a rainbow color that could contain everything.Moreover, while being tolerant, it also seems to be full of great courage, capable of destroying everything that stands in front of it.

"—Where is it sacred..."

Distraction on the battlefield is very fatal. Just as his attention was attracted by You Bai, the "Storm" in front raised the barrel, and a shot hit the tail end of "Mobius Zero" .

"Ugh!"

A strong sense of vibration spread throughout the fuselage, and Mu quickly withdrew his attention, trying to control the fuselage to evacuate, so as not to suffer more damage.

For Diego who manipulated "Storm", this is a pretty good chance to escape.It doesn't make much sense to catch up and knock down "Mobius Type Zero" now, running away is the real thing.

Considering the situation at hand, he fired a few more rounds to drive Mu away, and then sent two beams of light towards "Strike" as a diversion, and shouted loudly in the channel.

"Aslan! That blue machine is coming, we should go! ... Hey, Aslan Sara!"

His voice fell to nothing, and Aslan Sara, too caught up in wrestling with her old friend, couldn't respond to Diego's call.

The "Strike" of artillery equipment has been weakened in terms of mobility, but relatively, its firepower output is much better than other equipment. The 120mm anti-ship Vulcan gun and the second-mounted 350mm launcher fired successively, and the shells swept towards the fuselage of the "Holy Shield".Even if it can't penetrate the phase transfer armor, it will be a big blow to the power consumption.

It's a pity that Aslan's technology is quite excellent, and it is by no means comparable to the current Kira.

He manipulated the "Holy Shield" to get out of the hail of bullets calmly, and at the same time used the beam rifle to aim at the hands and feet of "Strike" and attacked continuously, driving Kira into danger at once.

In any case, Aslan really couldn't do anything to his old friend.In his heart, Kira is more important than his fiancée Lacus.

He wanted to connect to the other party's channel several times, but every time the thought arose, he quickly dismissed it.

I have come to attack the Archangel, what position do I have to make the other party stop?

As Kira said, he also has his partners, and to stand up to protect important companions, isn't that what Kira would do?Thinking of this, Aslan felt warm in his heart.Because he found that the other party has not changed in essence, and is still that gentle person.

But how do other people know what he thinks?

In the eyes of the captain of the Montgomery, the movement of the "Holy Shield" has completely changed its meaning.

Instead of hitting the cockpit, they kept attacking their hands and feet, as if they were going to take the "strike" captive back.

Understanding this meaning, Copman became anxious immediately.

The G-series airframes are the future of the Allied Forces, and they must not be snatched away again, so he immediately commanded the ships to step forward, desperately covering for the "Strike".

It's true that Aslan can't attack Kira, but how can ordinary joint warships bypass it?

Therefore, the "Holy Shield" turned its gun and aimed at the bridge of the Montgomery.

Chapter 330 Four: Referee

The strong murderous intent locked the Montgomery.

The members of the bridge were like frogs stared at by snakes, trembling and unable to move.

That George Alstad even lost the strength to scream, slumped on the seat, his mind was blank.

The god of death will not spare any kindness for human beings.What about senior government officials?So what of the father of a young girl?In the face of the torrent called death, anyone will be crushed.And this seems to be the ultimate fairness that God has given to mankind.

Captain Copman didn't look at the mobile suit in front of him, nor did he care about the gun aimed at him.He just glanced at the man in the suit beside him with contemptuous eyes, thinking that it would be a little bit of a disgrace to the Montgomery to let such a bastard die on his own boat.

The beam of the "Holy Shield" was launched.

How dazzling that beam of light is, accompanied by swaying and splashing spots, like fireworks at a summer festival.

It wasn't until this moment that Alstad's vice-minister finally returned from panic to reality.Looking at the approaching light, the memory of watching fireworks with my daughter can't help but come to mind.

"Fleur ah...!"

The white Gundam reached out towards the bridge, as if trying to save it from the beam.It's a pity that "Strike" doesn't have the means to defend against the light beam, and those who have no intentions but lack strength can't even protect the people around them.

However, in the next moment, something dreamlike happened.

The ray of light actually dissipated before his eyes.

To be precise, it was offset by another beam flying from afar.The particle beams on both sides collided and spread out immediately, bursting out brighter colors.

It's just that compared to before, these scattered particles are not enough to penetrate the armor of the bridge, finally saving the life of the crew of the Montgomery.

"What, what's going on!?"

"What happened!"

The deputy chief of affairs and the captain yelled at the same time, and the operator came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "Yes! The machine code-named 'Heretical' sent a communication, so the ship retreated immediately!"

Also in a state of shock was Aslan.

When he looked back, the blue lightning had broken into the battlefield.

You Bai used the beam rifle to force the "Holy Shield" away from the battleship, and then the two sides quickly took chances.He grasped the gap at this moment, pulled out the beam saber, the streamer of light tore through the night, and cut straight to the "Holy Shield".

The "heretic" just slashed out with a knife, and there was no killing intent in the attack.But even so, Aslan felt that he was cornered.

In an instant, something seemed to explode in his mind, and his vision became brighter.

He manipulated the "Holy Shield" to move forward instead of retreating, transforming the body into an MA at the fastest speed. The muzzle hidden in the body shone brightly, and the four mechanical claws were about to grab the "Heretic".

The double-phase energy cannon built into its fuselage is called "Sea Demon Beast", and its lethality is extremely terrifying, and it can even penetrate a battleship with a single blow.Aslan was just waiting for work, waiting for You Bai to hit the muzzle by himself.

The enemy's strength has been upgraded several levels in an instant, and even the movements and courage have undergone earth-shaking changes.You Bai couldn't help frowning, and at the same time used all his strength to precisely manipulate the machine body, passing the side of the beam cannon with a slight difference, and at the same time cut off a mechanical arm on the upper half of the "Holy Shield".

"Well!!"

The strong shaking caused the "Holy Shield" to lose control for a moment. You Bai is extremely experienced, how could he miss this good opportunity, fine-tune the fuselage, and turn around and slash at the "Holy Shield" again.

Just at this time, a beam of light flew from afar and forced You Bai away.

It was the attack of Diego who came back and forth, and his "Storm" has the ability to snipe from a long distance.

Although the two people's temperaments are not quite compatible on weekdays, they have to cooperate when they should cooperate on the battlefield. Diego can still distinguish the priorities. In this regard, he is much better than the emotional Aslan.

Aslan quickly seized the opportunity, manipulated the "Holy Shield" in MA form and fled away.

You Bai shot one after another, but was dodged by Aslan who had improved his sensory abilities.The distance between the two sides is getting farther and farther, how can the propulsion of "heresy" compare with MA?Pursuit is impossible.

"call……"

You Bai let out a long breath, and looked sideways at "Strike".

At this time, Kira seemed to be still shaking, and the fuselage was floating in space, giving people a feeling of losing consciousness.

……

It was already 10 to [-] minutes before Kruzer's team rejoined the mothership.

The bridge of the Wesalis was as quiet as a court.Adis was sitting by the table with his head down and his face pale, like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced.

Not far in front of him, Aslan and Diego were leaning against the wall, their faces equally grim.

From Heliopolis to the present, no battle has been more lost than it is today.Not to mention the loss of eight "Jin En", the ship was also severely damaged, and even the frigate that had just been sent to support was sunk.

Is the enemy's strength too strong?

That may not be true.

If you can play steadily, there is still a chance of winning.As for the culprit who was defeated like a mountain, of course it was Adis, who was the temporary commander at the time.

Everyone is waiting for the result of his disposal, but Captain Kruse has not arrived, and he doesn't know if he wants to hang him for a while or what.

Such a dignified atmosphere lasted for about 10 minutes. With the soft "buzz" of the mechanical door, Kruse floated in.

He glanced around the crowd through the mask, and a warm smile appeared on the lower half of his face: "What are you all doing here in a daze? You have fought hard, go and rest."

"...?"

Hearing these unexpected words, both Adis and Aslan were stunned.

"Wait, please wait a moment, Captain! About my command error..."

Adis stuttered and asked questions, but received a soft reply from the other party: "It's nothing, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, just don't make mistakes next time."

"I--"

"Ha ha……"

Ardis was about to speak, but was interrupted by Kruse reaching out, indicating that the topic ended here.

The dignified atmosphere melted away, and the bridge returned to its original appearance.

Diego breathed a sigh of relief, patted the shoulder of the person beside him and said, "It's our captain who is generous!"

"Ah, um."

Aslan nodded absent-mindedly, feeling that Kruse's attitude was a bit strange in his heart.As for what was strange, he couldn't tell.

Confused, Kruse set his sights on him.

"Come to my office later."

Cruze's voice was so gentle, but there was an undeniable magic in it.

Aslan subconsciously straightened his back and saluted, "Yes!"
