A journey through the Gundam world

Halbarton replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

After the boat set sail, he looked at the Archangel getting farther and farther out of the porthole.

Fleur secretly took out her cell phone, and while there was still signal, she sent a message to the ID she marked as the 'one-eyed nuisance'.

Soon, she received a reply.

Looking at the content, Fleur couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"Land to Earth immediately?"

Masuo was very surprised by the news, and Mu on the side showed a thoughtful expression after hearing it.

Alex put down his phone and nodded.

He looked at Masuo and Baji Lulu who looked surprised.

"To put it bluntly, we were chased all the way by the other team because of our relationship with the Cruze team. What happened along the way, others may call us a disaster star behind our backs."

Chapter 83 6 minutes up

Alex's words made several people have embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Heliopolis, Artemis, the advance team of the Eighth Fleet, along the way, although the Archangel did not sink, it is a fact that various friendly forces suffered heavy casualties.

"But will Cruze really launch an attack? The Eighth Fleet is a complete fleet, and he doesn't have many troops at hand, right?"

Bucky Lulu raised her own questions, and the three of them all agreed that Cruze would definitely call.

But considering that the other party is pursuing them all the way, can it pose a threat to the Eighth Fleet with its current strength?

"Although Cruze doesn't have enough troops on hand, it is enough if he only carries out the beheading mission."

Mu is very supportive of Alex's statement.

"That's right, what that guy likes most is to take dangerous risks and succeed every time. With the capabilities of four X-series, they can completely implement the fast-forward and fast-out decapitation tactics."

In the Battle of Endemion, the troops commanded by Cruze launched a surprise attack from the side of the Third Fleet.

Only then did he successfully open a breakthrough for the stalemate ZAFT and defeat the coalition fleet.

At this time, the captain's indoor communicator rang, and Masu connected.

"what's up?"

"The Menelaus received a call, and the interference intensity was found to be increasing in the surrounding areas. It is suspected that there is a ZAFT military fleet. The Archangel was immediately prepared to descend."

As expected, it was exactly what Alex said, and Masuo glanced at him.

"Understood, notify the entire ship and prepare for landing immediately."

"Yes!"

Turning off the communication, Masuo raised his head and glanced at the three of them.

"It seems that Admiral Halbarton has made up his mind, and Cruze really doesn't want to let us go."

Inside the Archangel ship, an alarm sounded, and a broadcast was made asking everyone to put on their spacesuits.

This is the standard procedure for entering the atmosphere, although Madek complained as he put his space suit on.

"If the battleship really disintegrates when it enters the atmosphere, wearing this won't allow us to physically pass through the atmosphere, right?"

Cagalli wore her spacesuit silently, recalling the news that Alex secretly contacted her just now.

After the Archangel lands on Earth, it will go directly to Orb.

After this period of adventure, I am finally going home.

She was timid about being close to home, and she felt an inexplicable nervousness and worry about this matter in her heart.

Just when the Archangel, under the cover of the Eighth Fleet, began to prepare nervously for landing on Earth.

Team Cruze, who had been watching from a distance, finally made up their mind to fight.

"The purpose of our operation this time is a beheading operation. The purpose is to sink the long-legged one."

Recalling the plan that Cruze introduced to the personnel participating in the war, Aslan silently entered the cockpit of the Holy Shield.

"So you should take risks to launch an attack, take advantage of the PS armor, break through the enemy's anti-aircraft fire network, and directly capture the flagship and the long-legged ones. After destroying the target, don't be reluctant to fight and retreat quickly. We only have 10 minutes of neutrality."

This battle plan mainly focuses on three G series units, and the other Jin En is responsible for containing the fleet from a distance.

However, on the Gamow, Yitzhak, whose face was bandaged, rushed out of the infirmary with an angry look.

He had already learned the details of the matter from Diego, the shame of being injured, and the shock of learning that the enemy was an instructor team, which made it impossible for him to continue training with peace of mind no matter what.

"Yitzhak, you haven't recovered yet."

"Stop talking nonsense! Lead me to attack immediately!"

Although others tried to dissuade him, his face was ferocious due to the pain of his injury, and he looked like a beast that chose people to devour.

In desperation, the control room could only guide the duel corpse type to attack.

After repairs, the duel, which had been given a new look and new equipment was installed, stepped off the bracket and moved to the linear catapult.

The right side of Yitzhak's face was covered with a bandage, covering his right eye.

"Strike! This time, I will definitely kill you!"

The three ZAFT warships and the mobile suit fleet appeared openly within the detection range of the Eighth Fleet.

Before the radar was completely jammed, the Union Army confirmed its opponent.

"One Nazca-class ship and two Laura-class ships. It is confirmed that the enemy has released mobile suits, including the X-series. We expect to engage the enemy in 5 minutes!"

On the bridge of the Menelaus, Halbaton frowned.

It seems that Captain Orb really got it right. Even if the enemy only has three ships, he will still launch an attack persistently.

'What a strong obsession, but no matter what today, I will not let the Archangel be sunk! '

With this in mind, he ordered.

"The entire fleet is in dense formation, ready to attack. Archangel, speed up the landing procedure."

The Nelson class and Drake class in the Eighth Fleet immediately formed an air defense formation and moved forward in the direction of the ZAFT army's attack.

As the flagship, the Menelaus began to release the Mobius formation on board.

At this time, the Archangel has begun its final confirmation in accordance with the scheduled landing procedure.

The nozzle located under the hull unfolded, and a layer of semi-solidified liquid like a rubber film began to cover the bottom of the hull.

This is an ablation-resistant agent specially developed for landing on the Earth. With this layer of coverage, it can effectively prevent the ship body from being burned through.

"The landing procedure has been checked and the Archangel has begun to land!"

"The course of this ship is fixed, the bow of the ship is sinking!"

At this time, the ZAFT Army MS formation had also begun to fight against the Eighth Fleet.

Although they were mentally prepared, it was only after the actual battle that the coalition forces realized how powerful the mobile suits they had made were in the hands of the opponent.

The Mobius fleet that came forward to intercept could not even stop the opponent's footsteps.

They were killed by four X-series machines in just one encounter, and Jin En followed up to expand the breach.

"Mobile Suit! Break through the Mobius Defense Line!"

"So fast!"

What suffered next were the two Drake-class frigates at the front.

Storm's two repaired cannons deployed and fired a series of armor-piercing shells at one of the battleships.

These live rounds easily tore through the weak armor of the Drake class, and the battleship exploded into a ball of fireworks before it even had time to send out a signal.

The second battleship, Duel, was equipped with new equipment. The 115mm railgun on the shoulder penetrated the hull, and Duel followed up with a follow-up shot from the beam rifle.

This Drake-class ship quickly followed in the footsteps of the previous one...

After breaking through the two frigates, a Nelson-class ship in the rear rushed forward without fear while firing desperately.

A Jinn was caught off guard and hit by Drake-class artillery fire, exploding into a ball of fireworks.

The next moment, a red aircraft body broke through the smoke, it was the Holy Shield.

With the cover of smoke, the red body has completed its transformation.

The open hook caught the main gun of the Nelson class, and the Kraken Monster fired at close range, one shot penetrating the entire hull.

The entire battleship was caught in the explosion, suffered heavy damage and lost combat effectiveness, while the Holy Shield had already gone away to find the next target.

With the help of other people's cover, Thunder activated the mirage, and suddenly appeared outside the bridge of a ship where Drake entered like a ghost.

The Union forces on the bridge looked at each other in horror as the Wolf Lock flew and penetrated the bridge directly, causing the entire battleship to lose its ability to control.

"Anticus and Ptolemy were sunk, Seleucus was hit and unable to fight, Cassandra's bridge was hit, silence!"

The tone of the Menelaus's CIC report was filled with uncontrollable panic.

"What...it's only been a few minutes since the war began? Four battleships have already been lost!"

Hoffman stood up in surprise. This was the first time he had truly seen the power of MS.

What's more, these MSs were manufactured by the Allied Forces themselves.

"It is indeed an impressive mobile suit, but it will be very difficult to become an enemy."

Halbarton couldn't help but lament.

At this time, CIC suddenly reported.

"ZAFT warships, lock on the Cassandra and Seleucus!"

"What! Actually attacking an injured battleship that has left the battle line!"

The next moment, the beams fired from the Nazca-class battleships and Laura-class battleships penetrated the two injured battleships struggling to retreat.

Cruze looked at the two sunk Earth Army warships and said coldly.

"Aslan and Nigel are still too naive. If the enemy is left alive, they will pick up new weapons and fight again."

Regarding what he said, Addis and others did not show any discomfort. It was obvious that they all supported Cruze's attitude.

Looking at his own battleship that was sunk, Halbarton had a new understanding of Cruze's cold-bloodedness.

"Damn Kruse!"

However, he did not give up his intention to fight, because the Archangel had already begun the descent process.

As long as they persist for the next 10 minutes, they will be able to retreat.

"Notify everyone! The Archangel is related to the next battle situation of our army, so we must not let this ship sink here! Everyone reorganizes the formation immediately, do not let the enemy pass our formation, let them see, the Earth Army's strength!"

His words spread through the entire Eighth Fleet through signals.

As a general who was deeply supported by his subordinates, the entire Eighth Fleet responded to his words with even more fierce firepower.

But at this moment, three new signals appeared on the Archangel, which was beginning to land.

Menelaus CIC reported immediately.

"The Archangel releases mobile suit, assault, heresy, and a Jin En of our IFF."

"what!"

Halbarton was stunned. The Archangel, which had already entered the landing stage, had been less than 10 minutes away from descending into the atmosphere.

If these three mobile suits are entangled, there will be no time to return to the battleship!

He punched the armrest of the seat angrily.

"What are they doing!"

Communications Report.

"A call came from the Archangel. In order to cover the landing of the fleet and our ship, three mobile suits were dispatched and the operation lasted for 6 minutes."

Hearing this, Halbarton was immediately angry.

"Really, who did you learn this from?"
