Gundam, Iron Banner

Chapter 74: Dilemma

At the same time, on the brand new account——

"Move fast! Medical class! Don't dawdle, that idiot Allen has lost too much blood! Prepare surgical instruments!"

"The controller informs! Tell the gunners not to stop, the barrage on the port side is too thin!"

"The maintenance team repaired Zaku right away, even using scrap metal to weld the hole! As long as it can move, we don't have any other mobile suits, it must be put into the battlefield!"

"What are you talking about! No more pilots? Where's the Kent man? Huh? He's already driving that mobile suit made out of scrap metal!?"

Captain Larsen's phone was about to explode, and he was in a hurry. He hadn't been a captain for a long time, so he wasn't very familiar with it.The current situation is really urgent, and I can't help but feel helpless in my heart.

Whether it is Aogu or here, resources are running out. The mobile suit was completely wiped out, and all the drivers that could be dispatched were dispatched. Only Second Lieutenant Allen, who was seriously injured and dying, was lying in the operating room.

Larsen originally thought that the number of mobile suits on both sides was about the same, even if they couldn't win, retreating would not be a problem, right?

Fortunately, the three mobile suits headed by Gundam were so powerful that ordinary mechas couldn't resist them at all.If it wasn't for that Titans traitor named You Bai who took the initiative to attack, the battle would probably be over by now.

Thinking of You Bai, Larsen gritted his teeth: "I can't help it, send someone to ask if that woman named April can drive Zaku!"

……

"This guy! His movements are as precise as AI...!"

Due to the strong deterrence of the enemy, Murphy didn't dare to fight with him for a while, he pulled the joystick, the thrusters on the soles of his feet and the small nozzle in front of him took effect at the same time, and the whole machine flew backward under his control .

You Bai pretended to be chasing him, and when Murphy and Eliard thought he had lost his composure, he turned around, and the beam bazooka that was fully charged was aimed at "Ashima" instantly.When the trigger is pressed, the bazooka with a caliber much larger than ordinary light guns shoots out light, aiming directly at the thrusters of "Ashima"'s legs.

"Tsk! So the target is here! Aiming so fast—" Eliard was startled, and quickly switched the body back to MA mode, tucking his legs into his abdomen, avoiding You Bai's lore attack hit.

Eliard's "Ashima" can transform in 0.5 seconds, an evasion move that only he can complete.

"What a way! Eliard."

You Bai chanted praises that no one could hear, but his attacks continued uninterrupted.

He has seen the function report of "Yashima", how can he not be clear about the characteristics of this test machine?The operation of transforming to avoid attacks was of course within his expectations.

Taking advantage of the fact that Eliard has just finished transforming and has not regained his sense of balance, You Bai's second shot has arrived, hitting the top sensor of the "Yashima" transformed into a disc in the middle.

boom!

Accompanied by a loud noise from the top, the cockpit of "Yashima" was suddenly pitch black.

"Killed!? No, the sensor was hit? Why would he know the weakness of this machine!"

Eliard quickly switched to the auxiliary sensor, but when the screen lit up, the "big devil" had already rushed in front of him.

"Ruined!"

"I'm sorry Eliard, please leave here!"

You Bai slashed at Yuanpan with a knife. He was very confident in his movement control. This blow only looked fierce, and it would definitely not hurt the driver inside.

But how did the rest of the Black Otter team know that You Bai was showing mercy?

Murphy has been approaching this side again since You Bai attacked "Yashima", and the rifle has not stopped firing, but he failed to hit a single shot.Now that You Bai is about to shoot down "Yashima", how dare he consider the issue of battle damage?

With the idea of ​​protecting his subordinates even if he was injured, Murphy charged straight up, relying on the powerful propulsion of the machine, and forcibly knocked You Bai away before "Yashima" was shot down.With the courage to die together, he inserted the beam saber into the cockpit of the "big devil".

"Die!"

"There are loopholes! But...!"

During the collision, You Bai discovered a flaw in Gundam's chest. If it was an ordinary battle, he would definitely seize the opportunity to stab the enemy through.But now he was facing the captain who had taken care of him before, how could he bear to be cruel?He had to grit his teeth and forcefully retreated.

But at this time, Karl in the distance had already reacted, retrieved the beam rifle with his remaining left hand, and hit the "big devil" twice.

What he pursued was not to kill the enemy, but to cut off the back road. If the "big devil" continued to retreat, he would definitely be hit by these two shots.

Realizing that the way back has been cut off, You Bai's face turned pale, and before he knew it, he was forced into a desperate situation.The lesser of two evils, he could only forcibly change the posture of the body, retreating in an extremely awkward posture, so as not to be hit by important parts such as the cockpit or backpack.

Naturally, Karl's two shots also hit the body, smashing the skirt that had been hit by bullets, and another shot hit the foot, making the "big devil" with poor mobility become more sluggish.

"Good! Hit!"

Karl's spirit was extremely excited, and it was the first time he hit this "big monster" after fighting until now, and he hit an important foot.He could feel that the balance of victory was tilting towards the Black Otter team.

You Bai knew that his chances of winning were dropping rapidly, but this was not the time to think about such things.Never doubt yourself, a firm will is the only magic weapon to win.

"Don't think that you've won!"

Now is the critical moment, but it is also this kind of moment, the real strong can seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

As early as when he was hit by Gundam, You Bai had already released the hidden weapon of "Demon Statler". The third arm that was originally placed on the chest was wrapped around the back of "Hazel", and it held the main body The thrown thermal saber quietly cut off the wire connecting "Hazel" to the shield, and then swung upwards, cutting the Gundam's main thruster in half from the side.

"Oops... this guy is also carrying a wire-guided weapon!"

"team leader!"

The sudden change surprised everyone in the Black Otter team. Murphy reacted quickly and immediately cut off the wire controlling the arm.You Bai, who lost his melee weapon, didn't feel bad at all, he seized the opportunity to get out of the attack range.

Carl, who witnessed everything from the side, focused his eyes: "Don't try to escape!"

He was determined to lock on the mobile phone, and was about to press the trigger, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of another machine sprinting towards him in the distance. He frowned and said, "Did your companion come to help? That is—"

Cal's blood froze when he saw the target clearly.

It was a messily modified "Zaku", exactly the same as the enemy I saw in the video.

Chapter 75: Pain

"The airframe is so heavy, it is completely incomparable with the airframes I have driven before. Lieutenant You shot down many Jim IIs in a row with this kind of scrap iron? Sure enough, my driving skills are no match for him... Obviously I am the senior ah."

Audrey April maneuvered "Zaku II Statler" to move onto the catapult, her face turning blue.

The situation of the battle has already been heard from the people on the ship, including the fact that the enemy in the center of the battlefield is the Black Otter Squad.

To be honest, April was not at all surprised that the Black Otter team appeared on the battlefield.

You Bai's melancholy look before he set off is still in front of his eyes, and April can see through what he is thinking at a glance.If he hadn't fought his past teammates, how could he show that expression when he was strong?

What's more, this space domain is not far from Jinping Island where the base is located, and there is a force nearby that is overwhelming Aoguda, and there is no one else except the Black Otter team.

April didn't care about the life and death of Jin and Aogu, and he didn't pay much attention to his own safety.But she didn't want You Bai to bear the pain of being in the same room alone, thinking that even if she was not strong enough to defeat the captain and the others, she could at least help them out a little bit, right?

Because of this, when members of Jean's remnant party came to the door and said they hoped to get help, April immediately agreed.

It wasn't until she sat in the cockpit of the mobile suit that she finally felt a chilling tension that penetrated her bone marrow, which was the fear of going to the battlefield.

As a qualified soldier, dying on the battlefield is an extremely normal thing, and April is also ready to sacrifice.

She fears loneliness more than death.

Sitting in the coffin-like cockpit, with nostalgia for the room and the body temperature of that person, he was killed alone.This kind of thing is so sad that she feels like going crazy just thinking about it.

"I usually stay on the 'Aswin', and I can't feel the feeling of being alone at all... Lieutenant You and the captain, do they all go to the battlefield with this feeling? Even this feeling of loneliness can be overcome , the men are really amazing...or is it only me who is weak?"

Obviously wanting to cut it off, but the messy thoughts can't stop coming out, the more lonely I feel, the more I can't calm down, and the result is that the feeling of tension is getting heavier, and finally a closed loop is formed.

It wasn't until the attack order was given that she finally came back to her senses, punched herself hard, and cursed through gritted teeth: "Audrey, Audrey! What are you hesitating about? Lieutenant You is fighting the captain and the others." , is now the time to play a woman's temper!?"

Thinking of the name of the person she likes, her will immediately strengthened, and all the messy thoughts just dissipated, and her mind became clear.

Driving the newly restored "Zaku", Audrey April rushed to the center of the battlefield.

Perhaps because of the maximum thrust, the ejection trajectory of "Zaku" is very conspicuous on the battlefield.Whether it was Karl, who was preparing to snipe You Bai in the distance, or Zola, who was exchanging fire with the federal army, they all noticed the white flame.

Raising his hand to shoot down an enemy plane, Zola stared at the ray of light, slightly dazed: "Did Allen return to the battlefield? No, that kid should be seriously injured. Could it be?"

He glanced around the federal army that was gradually being repulsed, turned on the communication and said to the friendly plane beside him: "Lieutenant Kent, I have a place I want to go. Can I trouble you here?"

"Want to fight Gundam? Don't die."

"Accept your good words." Zola raised her eyebrows horizontally, and followed the ray of light.

……

"There's nothing wrong with that machine! It's definitely the guy who killed Audrey and the others!"

The anger in Zach's heart rose. At this moment, he had no time to care about the battle on the captain's side, and went straight to the "Zaku" side.

You Bai has always been on guard against Karl's movements, now seeing him leave the battle line to go to other places, he felt uneasy, and was about to stop him, but was forced back by successive beams of light.Murphy and Eliard didn't allow him to look around in the middle of the battle.

Soon, "Zaku" and "Gao Zhagu" met.

There is no expected questioning and response, and the throwing and catching of the dialogue only exists in Carl's imagination.The moment he met the enemy plane, his anger made it impossible for him to have any organized conversation.

Needless to say, Karl fired a shot in the face, aiming at the cockpit of "Zaku".

April really wanted to talk to the other party, but reason told her not to mess around, and in any case, not to hinder You Bai's calculation.Also, as a fighter, begging for mercy from past teammates is a shame.

She deflected the fuselage and drew out her beam rifle in response.

The two sides moving at high speed crossed each other, and neither body was hit by the beam.But the problem is that the performance of "Gao Zaku" is more than a little bit higher than that of "Zaku II", which is all-round crushing.

At the moment of staggering, Karl took out his thermal ax and slashed downwards, cutting off the shield on "Zaku"'s shoulder with just one blow.Audrey also wanted to fight back, but the difference in performance made her unable to keep up with the opponent's movements. Even though it was the same attack movement, she slashed into the empty space.

With one hit, Carlton became excited: "Okay! Compared with the previous guy, this kid's strength is far worse! Even if I'm not as good at melee combat as Eliard, it's more than enough to knock down this 'Zaku' Already!"

"Hmm! The performance gap is even bigger than expected! I'm at a disadvantage. It's clear that Karl's skills were not as good as mine before...!"

April resisted the vibration of the machine, opened the distance and prepared to use the light gun to decide the outcome.

Unlike You Bai, she is just an ordinary elite driver, unable to make up for the gap in MS performance with technology.

A machine body with poor mobility is too disadvantaged in close combat. If you fight at this distance, you will be shot down very quickly.

How can Karl be confused about the other party's thoughts?Since the performance of the self-machine is superior, it should be used to the advantage, and the enemy will never escape the attack range casually.

He took back the ax and replaced it with the beam rifle, and continued to shoot disruptively. He didn't expect to hit it, as long as it could slow down the opponent's escape speed.

Although April fought back, his fighting spirit was not as high as that of the opponent, so he was naturally suppressed by his momentum.

Thinking "it's not the way to go on like this", she fled to the gravel belt, but several beams of light flew in front of her, almost hitting the monitor, which scared her back quickly.

But retreating was not an option, Karl's shooting level was really high, the moment he noticed her intention, two more beams flew towards "Zaku"'s backpack.

The strong sacrificial explosion knocked April's posture into a crooked position, alarm bells were ringing in her heart, and she kept saying things were not going well.

The power furnace of "Zaku" does not support the use of beam rifles, and the weapons in hand are all powered by the backpack with the power source inside. In this way, it is equivalent to saying that the long-range weapons of "Zaku" are directly abolished.

"Oops!"

"The opportunity is here!"

The effects of these shots far exceeded Karl's expectations. He did not shoot accurately, but just hit the backpack of "Zaku". It can be said that this was all luck bestowed on him by God.

"I'm starting to believe in gods too! Audrey!"

While chanting the names of his dead teammates, Karl's whole body was filled with excitement, and his eyeballs were bloodshot.

Carl's crush on Audrey April is actually not a secret on the "Aswan".

He is a straightforward person, and he is not good at hiding his thoughts and emotions at all.Even if he wanted to bury this feeling in his heart forever, the inadvertent gaze could always reveal this thought to those who were familiar with him.In private, Eliard often teased him about it, calling him a loser.

Carl doesn't care.

I like her, what does it matter if she likes me or not?She has someone she likes, and that man is a bad guy. It's enough for the two of them to be happy together.

Karl doesn't expect to be the one standing beside her.

but--

This only thought was also shattered.

With the transmission of the hijacking video, Carl's heart completely collapsed.

In the past few days, he kept questioning himself: Obviously, I only hope that the two of them can be happy and leave the battlefield with a smile. Is this also a mistake?Is God going to punish me?

But no one can give him the result, fate seems to have played a joke on him.Whether it was a close teammate or a crush, they all went away with the arrival of that "Zaku".

until today.

The gods gave him a chance for revenge, and he believed in the existence of gods again.

Karl threw away the beam rifle and rushed forward with the axe. Taking advantage of the opponent's inability to sprint, he removed the enemy's right hand with one blow.

He is not willing to give this guy a happy death. Since he is an enemy, how can he not torture him?

The "Zaku" that lost its arm couldn't maintain its stability for a while, so Karl kicked it on the cockpit and kicked it towards the huge gravel behind it.The strong vibration made April unable to recover, but Karl's offensive was not over yet, he rushed over and chopped off the opponent's legs again with an axe.

"Zaku", who lost both legs and thrusters, was completely unable to move.Collapsing on the stone surface, his empty left hand slowly stretched out into the distance.That was the direction where Gundam was fighting the Doom, and she seemed to want to touch a beam of light in it.
