The Eternal and the White Tiger attacked one after another, and were preparing to follow Yang Hui's instructions and sink the Archangel together with the Archangel. However, the MS troops on guard outside discovered traces of the ZAFT fleet in the port on the other side of Sadli one step ahead.
That's why we didn't besiege the Archangel together with the Archangel.
"12 Nazca-class ships!?" After hearing the information from the reconnaissance force, everyone was dumbfounded and became nervous. Although the White Tiger and the Eternal were both the most cutting-edge battleships, the Eternal was only
Although the firepower of the support ship is not inferior to that of the Nazca class, it is still far behind the White Tiger. Two versus twelve, and the enemy has several times more mobile suits than theirs, so it is difficult for people to relax.
"It seems that the Speaker is really not going to let us go." As a veteran on the battlefield, Andre Butterfield couldn't help but shed a cold sweat when he saw such a huge pursuit force.
"Andy, what should we do?" Aisha Tryin asked proactively. If Yang Hui and others had not left, chasing the fleet would not have been a worry, but the aces were not there, and the number of MS left behind was too small, even if they were all elites.
, can block the enemy MS troops, but it will also suffer heavy losses.
"Damn it, there are no usable mobile suits on this ship." Andre Butterfield cursed. The Eternal's Gnaku only has two positions, which are prepared for the Freedom Gundam and the Justice Gundam, so there are no extra mobile suits.
, and Orb's M1 Heretic also had no spare body, leaving two elite pilots and skilled women unable to make a meal without rice.
"Captain, can the Meteor System be used?" Lux asked.
The Meteor system is a tactical support armed module developed by the ZAFT army. [METEOR] is the abbreviation of "Mobile suit Embedded Tactical Enforcer". It is specially designed for ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam and ZGMF
-The X10A Freedom Gundam is an armed support platform developed for two nuclear-powered MSs. Equipped with this platform, the two machines with excellent performance can gain firepower comparable to that of a battleship or even a fortress.
The Meteor system has an independent power system. When not in use, the Meteor system will be mounted on the bow of the FFMH-Y101 Eternal and serve as the Eternal's defensive artillery.
When docking with Justice Gundam or Freedom Gundam, energy can also be obtained from the nuclear power furnaces on the two aircraft. In terms of armament, the Meteor system is equipped with two 120cm high-energy beam cannons and two 93.7cm high-energy beam cannons. The two handles are enough to cut through
The battleship's MA-X200 beam saber and 77 60cm [Hedgehog] anti-ship missile launchers are equipped with multiple locking systems, which can help the aircraft lock multiple targets at the same time and fire at the same time, giving the aircraft the ability to fight the entire fleet on its own.
.
When the Eternal left ZAFT, the meteor system installed on the bow of the ship was not completed, and it has not been able to complete final debugging until now. If the meteor system can be used, the firepower of the Eternal will be increased by one level.
"It's not working yet. It will take another hour for the final adjustment to be completed."
"..." Lux also felt the crisis, and her jade-white brows furrowed.
"Lux, Captain Butterfield." At this time, a communication came from the White Tiger, and the emperor's figure appeared on the Eternal's screen.
"The Emperor." Seeing the Emperor's appearance, Lux's frown relaxed. Yes, Yang Hui and the others were not here, but the Emperor was still there. Orb's chief of staff, the world's leading intelligence forecaster.
"The Eternal is behind the White Tiger, distance 500, blue zone 14, Mark 13α. The White Tiger will open a gap for the Eternal, and the Eternal will lead the MS troops to break out."
"How is this possible!?"
"Are you going to let us escape alone?"
"chief of staff!?"
Before Lux could speak, the others on the Eternity were unhappy. Not long after they had joined together, they gave up everything they had and prepared to do something big together. But before they even started, they had to run away in despair again. This made them
How to accept it?
The elite pilots who had followed them from Orb to the universe were also unable to accept the emperor's arrangement. All of them knew that this mission was a narrow escape, and they all participated voluntarily. They had long been prepared to sacrifice.
At such a critical moment, the emperor actually asked them to abandon the White Tiger and escape, which was absolutely impossible for them to agree to.
"Is there no chance?" Lux asked the emperor seriously.
"Yes, the chance to break the situation lies with Yang Hui and the others." Huang replied. The number of ZAFT fleets is indeed large, but it is not so large that it is despairing. As long as Yang Hui or Setsuna, Lyle, and Tieria can fight again
Or if any three of Kira, Aslan, Diego, and Nicol came to support her, she would be sure to stabilize the battle and minimize the losses.
"Then let's stay." Lux said to the emperor seriously, with the words "cannot refuse" written on his expression, "The White Tiger is more important than the Eternal, we cannot let the White Tiger sink here, and I believe in him, he will definitely
I can make it back in time."
"...Okay." Seeing that Lux was so determined, the emperor stopped trying to persuade him and started to deploy again. "MS troops launched an emergency attack. Green machines, gold machines, and red machines attacked the enemy after the first wave of firepower from the ship covered them.
MS troops, disrupt their formation."
"Understood!" X2
"give it to me."
Barry Huo, Jiang Kelly and Luo all replied at the same time that they were the strongest combat force left here. The number of enemies was several times theirs. There was no chance of winning in a positional war. They could only strike first.
, if we wait for the enemy MS troops to surround us, our own MS troops will surely suffer heavy losses, and even the White Tiger and Eternity will be in great danger.
"Ashaqi, Mayura, Jiuli, you will lead the remaining mobile suits. Major Flack will hunt globally and protect the Eternity."
"Chief of Staff, where is the White Tiger?" asked the three women who were named.
"The White Tiger's firepower is enough to hold out under the siege of MS troops until Yang Hui returns. The Eternal's firepower is insufficient and requires MS defense."
"Understood."X4
"Call the Archangel, inform them of our situation, and ask them to repel the Archangel and return support as soon as possible."
"learn!"
"Chief of Staff, do you want to ask for help from the Commander-in-Chief?" the captain of the White Tiger asked. Not only him, but everyone on the bridge looked at the emperor. In their opinion, the reason why he was so nervous was
Because Yang Hui is not here and their God of War is not here, as long as Yang Hui comes back, all problems will be solved.
"No, Commander-in-Chief and others are in battle, don't disturb them." Huang directly rejected the captain's proposal. Firstly, she believed that Yang Hui would be able to defeat the MS troops of the Lord Angel in time and rush back; secondly, after Yang Hui's strength was exposed,
If the Lord Angel still dares to attack, he must have brought a master to stop Yang Hui. The masters will fight, life and death are in an instant, Yang Hui cannot be distracted at this time.
"But……"
"What? Without the commander-in-chief, you won't be able to fight?" Huang asked sharply.
"..." Everyone on the bridge lowered their heads in shame and were speechless.
"This is war. The commander-in-chief is very powerful, but he is also a human being! Do you want to pin all your hopes for the war on one person?"
"I'm sorry, Chief of Staff." Under the leadership of the captain, everyone admitted their mistake. They were indeed a bit inflated, or... blindly worshiped. Every time they saw Yang Hui's invincible posture, they subconsciously thought that Yang Hui
They are invincible, they just need to watch Yang Hui show off his power.
As a result, once Yang Hui was away, they panicked and became timid before fighting.
"All members, first-level combat configuration!"
"Understood! Level 1 combat configuration! [Porcupine Formation] is activated, and missile launchers No. 1, 2, and 3 are loaded with anti-beam missiles. Coordinates D12 to I87 are covered! The remaining ones are loaded with Hammer missiles!"
"[Goldfield] activates, locking the enemy Nazca level..."
"Preemptive attack, launch!"
"Understood! Fire all bombs!"
With the weapon system fully activated, the White Tiger, a new type of warship that set sail for the first time, showed its ferocious claws to its enemies for the first time. For a moment, a bright beam of light pierced the universe and illuminated the darkness.
…
The 12 Nazca-class ships formed a group of three and three, forming a triangular formation, one large and three small, slowly approaching the White Tiger and the Eternal.
The order Cruze left for Captain Addis was to hold off the White Tiger and Eternity until he and Yitzhak returned before launching a full-scale attack, but...
"An unknown battleship?" Captain Addis looked at the White Tiger in the image and frowned deeply, "Is it a new battleship of the Earth Army?"
"It's impossible to confirm, but it probably isn't." The vice-captain analyzed. "Long Legs has been the Earth's most cutting-edge warship in recent years. It shouldn't be possible to develop another main warship in a short period of time."
"If it's not the Earth Army... then it's only Orb." Captain Addis concluded that if it's not the Earth Army and it's not ZAFT, then only Orb has the ability to develop a warship on his own. "Damn Orb,
You talk about neutrality, but you not only secretly formed an MS unit, but also a space battleship, and you talk about peace?"
"What should we do now?" the adjutant asked.
"Just follow the captain's instructions and hold them back while the MS troops attack, but don't rush over to prevent enemy MS troops from attacking our team..."
"Beep beep beep..."
"High-energy reaction detected, it's the shelling of an enemy ship!"
"What!? Evasion!"
Without optical imaging, they could see it with the naked eye through the glass of the bridge. The thick beam of light cut through the universe and headed towards them, and its target was the Vesalius, the flagship.
Fortunately, the helmsman of the Vesalius was also an experienced person. After sensing the danger, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and narrowly avoided being directly sunk. However, the port side was still grazed by a beam of light, causing the armor to melt.
The Helderton on the left was even hit on the starboard side.
"Damn it! MS troops are making an emergency attack! Limit enemy ship bombardment!" Captain Addis is already angry. He has superior forces but doesn't even intend to beat you to death, but you are so shameless!?
But the reality did not give him more time to be angry, because the White Tiger's attack was not just a wave of shelling.
