On the other side of L4, 12 Nazca-class ships were approaching quietly, and it was already visible to the naked eye that a fierce battle was taking place ahead.
"So... what should we do now? I didn't expect that the battle has already begun."
"In addition to the Eternal, there are two battleships, one of which is a long-legged ship... There seems to be only one on the Earth Army side." Captain Addis reported.
"No matter what, we know nothing about the situation and have no way of starting. It's up to Yitzhak and I to sneak in from inside the satellite and collect intelligence first."
"Are you going in person?" Captain Addis said in surprise. Their current strength can directly surround the Earth Army and the four warships of the Three Ship Alliance. "With the combat power we have now, we can definitely attack them directly."
If we are caught off guard, no matter whether it is the Eternal, Long Legs or the Earth Army's battleship, they will not be able to fight against us, right?"
"We do have an advantage in terms of numbers, but Addis, you still ignore the importance of intelligence." Cruze shook his head and rejected Captain Addis's suggestion.
"Information...?"
"That's right, Freedom, Justice, Rebirth, and Covenant are the most cutting-edge mobile suits in our army, and their power is hard to estimate."
"But there are only four mobile suits. We only need to target the mothership..."
"Carelessness can cost you your life, Addis."
"yes……"
"But what you said makes sense." Kruse disagreed with Addis's idea, because he knew that Yang Hui was on the opposite side. In front of Yang Hui, if no one restrained him, no matter how large the quantity was, it would still be a gift, but... it was not completely
I disagree. After all, Patrice Sala gave him so many troops to pursue the Eternal because he took into account the situation of Yang Hui and the Eternal being together. If he couldn't achieve anything, it would be hard for him to explain.
"Captain, what do you mean..."
"Yitzhak and I are still sneaking into the satellite to detect intelligence. You approach from the side, but don't rush to fight with the opponent with all your strength. Focus on delaying time. When Yitzhak and I return, we will bring twenty-four new
[Gates], as long as we don’t advance rashly, it won’t be a big problem to hold them back.”
"I see."
"The colonial satellite Sadli and Mendel...if everything goes well, many problems will be solved. Don't rush forward, do you understand?"
"yes!"
…
During the battle, the Lord Angel was not arrogant. Facing three enemy warships, Malu (shadow) and Baki Lulu (shadow) chose to hide in the wreckage area and fight guerrilla warfare with the three enemy ships, mainly targeting the target.
It's the Archangel.
"Where is the Archangel? Can you find its location?"
"No! There are too many wrecks nearby!"
"Beep beep beep..."
At this time, the siren sounded, and the Archangel, which had been missing all this time, actually circled out from behind a large piece of debris and appeared directly above the Archangel.
"Green Zone 19A discovered the Archangel!"
"When will it!?"
The timing and location of the Archangel's appearance were too sudden. The Archangel was not prepared at all, and was ridden in the face by the Archangel.
Seeing the Archangel's main gun [Gotfield] firing, Malu quickly issued an order: "Avoid!"
The helmsman Arnold suddenly turned the rudder, and the Archangel barely avoided the enemy ship's bombardment.
"Starboard [Porcupine Formation] is ready! The missile launcher is loaded with anti-air missiles!" Bucky Lulu immediately gave the instruction, which made everyone stunned. There was obviously nothing in that direction.
However, due to the tacit understanding cultivated over a long period of time, they did not question and immediately came to their senses to carry out Bucky Lulu's instructions.
Sure enough, the next second...
"Beep beep beep..."
"There are missiles approaching rapidly in Orange Zone D!"
"Kill them all down!"
The missile suddenly appeared, startling everyone because it was too close to them. If it weren't for Bucky Lulu's instructions that made them prepare in advance, this wave of missiles would not have been able to intercept it.
"Natal..."
"We are still fighting! The enemy is ourselves!" Baji Lulu reminded Malu. Although she didn't know why another Malu and another self appeared on the Main Angel, but since it was another self, then
It's easy to handle. The one who knows you best is yourself, and you can understand the other party's tactics by putting yourself in their shoes.
"Yes." Ma Liu nodded, and divided the work with Bucky Lulu, temporarily causing the dominant Angel to fall into a stalemate.
"Where are the White Tiger and the Eternal?" Malu asked Mirialia. The purpose of their voyage was not to fight the Lord Angel, but to leave here as soon as possible. After all, in addition to the threat of the Lord Angel, there was also the pursuit of ZAFT.
soldiers.
Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Mirialia immediately reported to Malu in a panic: "The White Tiger and the Eternal are calling! The ZAFT army has appeared, Nazca level 12, MS70, including 24 new MSs of the ZAFT army, please
support!"
"What!?" Mirialia's report shocked everyone. They were surprised that ZAFT's pursuers actually caught up at this time, and even more shocked that ZAFT actually sent so many troops to pursue the Eternal.
"What's the situation?" Malu asked quickly. The battle between the Archangel and the Archangel couldn't be decided for a while, and there was no danger. However, the pressure on the White Tiger and the Eternal was too great, because Ace
They were all held back by the MS troops of the Archangel, and there were only 18 MS left there. Although they were all Orb's elites, there were also quasi-aces like Barry Ho, Jiang Kelly, Luo, and Mu.
, but it is impossible for them to protect the White Tiger and Eternity from enemy forces that are several times their size.
Moreover... they have just set off, and they don't know how many battles they will encounter in the follow-up. If they suffer heavy losses now, the subsequent plans will not be carried out.
"The White Tiger and the Eternal are requesting support!"
"Damn it, this ship won't be able to escape for a while..." Ma Liu was in a panic. The Archangel couldn't leave now even if he wanted to, and there was no news from Yang Hui and others, so they couldn't allocate the strength to support the White Tiger and the Eternal.
But at this time, the Archangel's offensive began to weaken, and it even took the initiative to distance itself from the Archangel.
"What happened?" Malu asked.
"Two of the mobile suits belonging to the Lord Angel have returned to the ship. It's a big hit!"
"They succeeded!" Ma Liu understood that it was Yang Hui's side who had made a contribution, and immediately ordered, "Leave this combat area, get rid of the Lord Angel, and support the White Tiger and Eternity at full speed!"
"Understood." Bucky Lulu understood and immediately cooperated, "The missile launch tube is loaded with anti-beam missiles, coordinate I23, launch! [Porcupine Formation], [Heroic Style] on alert! Be ready to block the Lord Angel at any time."
At the same time that the Archangel turned around, 24 large anti-ship missile launchers launched a salvo of missiles, exploding directly behind the Archangel. The tiny anti-beam particles formed a wall between the Archangel and the Archangel.
.
Seeing that the Lord Angel did not continue the pursuit, he immediately dialed Yang Hui's communication: "Yang Hui! How is the situation over there?"
"The four unknown machines were destroyed and retreated. I immediately assisted others to kill the enemy..."
"Hurry up and reinforce the White Tiger and the Eternal! The ZAFT army's fleet is here! It's the fleet chasing the Eternal!"
"Understood, go right away."
The communication was hung up, and Malu immediately sent the same request for help to Angel, Cherub, De Angel, Freedom Gundam, Justice Gundam, Rebirth Gundam, Covenant Gundam, and Archangel. It would be okay if they were late, as long as they could be the first
As time passes, the war situation will surely be stabilized.
…
On the Archangel, Malu (shadow), Bakilulu (shadow) and Murtagh Aznarel had a dispute.
"What are you doing? Why are you retreating!?" Murta Aznar asked Malu.
"Our mobile suit is badly damaged and needs to be recovered urgently..." Ma Liu explained.
"Don't worry about those rubbish! Your mission is to sink the Archangel!"
"The battle between our ship and the Archangel has entered a stalemate. It is difficult to determine the winner for a while. When our MS troops return to the ship, the enemy MS will be free to attack our ship. For safety reasons, our ship should retreat.
Regain the situation." Ma Liu continued to explain, because there were instructions in her brain that she must obey the orders of her superiors. Even if she hated the idiot in front of her, she could only suppress her displeasure and explain patiently.
"I let you chase..."
"Forbidden, signal lost! Robbery, disaster, please return to the ship!"
"The signal for the attack on Unit E3 is lost! Unit 1, Unit 2, and Unit 5 are requesting to return to the ship!"
"The strong wind struck, the hailstorm and the storm asked to return to the ship, the strong wind attacked and destroyed the ship, and Captain Lyon was seriously injured!"
Bad news came one after another, which made Murta Aznar's face turn as ugly as black coal with anger. No matter how stupid or arrogant he was in the current situation, he knew how unfavorable their situation was. Forbidden Gundam and
Strike Gundam E3, Unit 4's signal was lost, probably gone. All the remaining mobile suits requested to be returned to the ship, and half of them were in a broken state.
This shows that they were completely defeated in this battle, and the confident MS troops were almost completely wiped out.
If the Archangel ignores their retreat at this time, it will be another story when the Dawn Gundam and other machines arrive.
"Director Aznar." Malu looked at him with burning eyes, waiting for his instructions.
"Huh! Retreat! What a bunch of rubbish! They are all rubbish!"
Murta Aznael cursed and left the bridge. He was going to deal with the pilots who had embarrassed him, while Malu (shadow), Bucky Lulu (shadow) and others all breathed a sigh of relief and obeyed.
Orders are a duty, but no one wants to die, especially Malu (Shadow) and Bakki Lulu (Shadow).
Although they are created photocopies, their bodies, appearance, memories and even abilities are all copied from the original body, but they also have self-awareness and want to live.
"Captain, something must have happened when the Archangel left suddenly that we don't know about." Bucky Lulu (shadow) reminded Malu (shadow).
"I know, but we have no way to confirm it. The loss of combat power is too great." Ma Liu (Shadow) said helplessly.
"I see."
"Retreat, we can only wait for the next opportunity."
"learn."
"Turn around 180 degrees, recover the MS units immediately, and leave the combat space!"
