The red afterimage tore apart the seemingly calm but surging undercurrent of the lake at the feet of MACROSS SDF-1, with water splashing into the sky.
He rushed towards the night sky that was already occupied by countless JAMs.
There is the airspace where YF21 and GHOST-X9 are located.
"Kai! It's starting!"
When the voice of the White Cat Zero sounded in Lei Mingkai's mind, the GHOST-X9 it was integrated with increased the processing of the propulsion engine and took the lead towards the black mass ahead, which was pressing towards JAM like an overwhelming mountain.
The army rushed over.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
While advancing rapidly, the five laser cannons equipped by GHOST-X9 once again exerted their power.
Target after target is constantly locked in front of White Cat Zero's eyes. In the next second, it is smashed into pieces by the deadly laser cannon. Then it locks on the next target and continues to attack in a cycle with this number of attacks.
.
Although this attack routine is very simple, with the help of the terrifying maneuverability of GHOST-X9 itself, it can rush back and forth among the JAM army without the slightest possibility of being hit by the JAM army.
certainly.
GHOST-X9 acted so arrogantly, which naturally attracted the attention of most JAM.
Especially when JAM on the GHOST-X9 attack route discovered the appearance of GHOST-X9, they immediately shrunk the distance between them, shrunk, and then shrunk again, leaving no space for GHOST-X9 to gain passage.
Under the ever-shrinking JAM army, even the GHOST-X9 with its ultra-high maneuverability has to face the reality that its movable route is constantly narrowing.
If GHOST-X9 could still maintain some missiles before, the current situation would not be a problem.
But the bad is here.
GHOST-X9, which had already exhausted all its missiles, could only use the five laser cannons.
Although the power of the laser cannon can knock JAM into pieces in one blow, the opponent relies on the absolute advantage of numbers. One of them is killed, and another one comes up. They pretend to be able to attack you at will, but I have enough troops.
"That's why I hate being an enemy with an overwhelming number of enemies."
White Cat Zero looked around and sighed secretly.
This is not because White Cat Zero felt disheartened when faced with the ever-shrinking encirclement of the JAM army.
Instead, he sighed slightly in distress.
Because the possibility of the JAM army's encirclement narrowing had already been foreseen by Lei Mingkai and White Cat Zero.
Under this situation, White Cat Zero still controlled the GHSOT-X9 and rushed into the enemy camp without fear, just to verify certain things.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Just when the JAM army was about to complete the encirclement of GHOST-X9, a series of sudden missiles rushed into the JAM army from bottom to top, and triggered a fire that was enough to explode the JAM army encircling GHOST-X9.
A violent explosion of a gap.
"boom!"
Among the huge fireballs that exploded, there were small explosions that were continuously affected by the explosions, resulting in small explosions.
The fragments that filled the sky flew away in all directions amid the bursts of explosions.
Among these fragments, a red afterimage rushed out fiercely from the center of the fireball, flying all over the sky. If you were not careful, it would leave a scar on your body, and even die in the sea of fire. Among the fragments, it broke through the JAM army.
Surrounding net.
“Well done!”
White Cat Zero glanced at the encirclement that had a gap blown out, and couldn't help but praise it.
"Oh? I didn't expect Type-0 to say thank you too!"
As everyone knows, the sound that came next made the white cat Zero close his mouth and became silent.
This is not because the white cat Zero is indifferent, but because it doesn't know how to face that person.
In the silence of White Cat Zero, the person who helped it finally appeared.
That is an aircraft that is exactly the same as the GHOST-X9 controlled by the White Cat Zero.
Judging from the appearance, they are basically the same machine series.
"Second X9."
Not far away, while Lei Mingkai was driving YF21 to attract some JAM's attention, he also saw the GHOTS-X9 that only existed in the settings in the Sharon incident.
It is different from the X9 that fought with YF19 and YF21 and was finally hit and destroyed by the YF21 that had its restrictions lifted.
Until the entire Sharon incident was over, it stayed quietly at the bottom of the lake in MACROSS, silently watching its brothers being hit by YF21, until the incident in VF1-X2 led to the disintegration of the old unity and the new unity.
It was during the war that he came to power that he made his debut as a BOSS machine.
certainly.
No matter how after the Sharon incident, the Earth Unity publicly announced a ban on the development of learnable AI, but secretly continued to research related technologies in this area, it could not allow the X9 that survived the Sharon incident to survive.
He survived the war that led to the disintegration of the old unity.
Now, this X9 that should not have appeared at this moment has appeared and extended a helping hand to the X9 driven by White Cat Zero.
"Let's go! Zero!"
The silence of Lei Mingkai and White Cat Zero did not surprise the X9 that suddenly appeared.
On the contrary, their reaction was what the person controlling the X9 expected.
"It really hasn't changed at all!"
In the dark, a sigh sounded, and the two X9s joined forces to attack and rushed to the location of YF21 as quickly as possible.
At this moment, YF21 is relying on its own speed to deal with the JAM army coming from all directions.
Even though the Gatling attack equipped by YF21 was still sharp, it could not hide the signs of gradually falling into failure under the huge JAM army.
Lei Mingkai knew this very well.
But he still remained calm and avoided enemy attacks time and time again while driving YF21.
Looking at the increasing number of enemies behind YF21, the two X9s immediately separated left and right in tacit understanding, with YF21 as the center, targeting the JAM army chasing behind it, and while circling up and down, they fired a line with their own laser cannons.
The fierce and deadly attack scraped off layers of steel debris on the JAM army behind YF21.
Suddenly, under the joint attack of the two X9s, the JAM army that was clinging to the six o'clock direction of YF21 was immediately defeated by three points of momentum.
Although the three aircraft have now used up all missiles and other weapons that can cause mass destruction, the two GHOST-X9s are equipped with a total of ten laser cannons.
Under the deadly attacks of these laser cannons, every time the JAM army wanted to speed up the pursuit of YF21, the two GHOST-X9 immediately joined forces to instantly destroy the most prominent part of the JAM, always keeping the situation under stable control.
However, taking a long-term view, how long can this seemingly stable situation last?
"Sharon, is there a second machine like that at the bottom of the lake here?"
The moment the second GHOST-X9 appeared, MISS.E noticed it.
"Yeah. It's her."
Sharon raised her head, looking at the GHOST-X9 that suddenly appeared with eyes that were sometimes filled with hatred and sometimes complex.
Only she knows what the appearance of the second GHOST-X9 means.
"she?!"
MISS.E is confused.
"No, it's nothing."
Sharon somehow avoided the topic.
This performance surprised MISS.E a little, but didn't pay much attention to it.
For her, even ten more GHOST-X9s would not be a big problem.
In the face of absolute numbers, even the best performance is just for nothing.
"It's time to end it!"
After watching for so long, MISS.E also felt a little tired.
Lightning appeared again in the night sky of MACROSS city.
This time, behind the lightning, more and more powerful JAM rushed into the world directly from behind the lightning. Not only did they surround MACROSS City, but they also began to spread towards MACROSS City.
"MISS.E! What are you doing? Yong is hindered by you!"
The emergence of the third wave of JAM not only flooded the movement space of YF21 and two GHOST-X9 in an instant, but also affected Sharon's actions.
The YF19, which was originally able to come and go among the SDF-1's anti-aircraft firepower, was almost killed by the SDF-1's anti-aircraft firepower due to the sudden crowding of the third wave of JAM.
If Yong Dyson hadn't reacted in time to transform the car into human form, and relied on the powerful defensive performance of the pin-point defense system to block the blow, I'm afraid Yong Dyson would have been destroyed by now.
"Hmm? Isn't that your dream? Give your loved ones a chance to realize their dreams!"
"But I should be the one to do it! Not you! MISS.E!"
"Kacha!"
A spark of energy burst out from Sharon's host without warning, leaving a dazzling black scar on the red carpet in the blink of an eye.
MISS.E lowered his head and looked at the scar that had extended to his feet, and couldn't help but be silent for a moment.
"Sharon! What are you doing? We are allies!"
Mia frowned and scolded.
"Ally? No! You are just using me!"
For some reason, Sharon, who originally got along well with MISS.E and Mia, suddenly turned against her.
Not only did he look at the two of them coldly, but he also had a strong tendency to attack in the next second.
"Wait! Sharon! We have no intention of being your enemy!"
MISS.E raised his right hand on the spot to show that he had no ill intentions. At the same time, he and Mia took a few steps back to distance themselves from Sharon.
"Don't get in my way!"
Sharon looked at the two people who retreated coldly, and then continued to pay attention to the situation on Yong Dyson's side.
"MISS.E, Sharon's situation is starting to look unstable. Should we take action in advance?"
Mia moved her eyes and looked around.
"No. Wait! Now is not the chance!"
Sharon's change caught MISS.E a little off guard, but overall, it's still under control.
"Tch! Kai, what should we do now?"
White Cat Zero made an anxious sound.
The ever-increasing number of enemies has reduced Lei Mingkai's activity space by more than half.
If this continues, what awaits Lei Mingkai and the others is that they will be crushed to death by the JAM army instead of being beaten to death!
"rush!"
without hesitation,
There is no doubt,
Lei Mingkai made a prompt decision.
However, before YF21 could start taking action, GHOST-X9, which was one step behind, took the lead and rushed towards the JAM army above its head.
That was the second GHOST-X9, and it was also the machine controlled by that person.
"I'm so impatient!"
The white cat Zero murmured and followed up.
To break through the encirclement enclosed by the JAM army, the lack of firepower of any one aircraft will result in a successful breakout.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
The laser beams were shot by the two GHOST-X9s one after another, blasting away the JAMs blocking the breakout route with precision like scalpels.
Their purpose is not to destroy the enemy, but to open up a way of escape as quickly as possible.
The YF21 following the two GHOST-X9s was moving at extremely high speeds, and Gatlin sent JAM, who had narrowly escaped being caught under the firepower of the two GHOST-X9s, into death.
"Da da da da!"
Gatling neighed,
The fish blocking the way and slipping through the net let out roars of destruction.
However, the JAM army is too numerous.
Especially in the sky gate full of lightning, supplemented by the JAM army that kept pouring out, the breakout speed of the two GHOST-X9 and YF21 dropped again and again, almost to the point where they could no longer maintain flight status.
Below the minimum speed.
At this moment, both the YF21 and the two GHOST-X9s were surrounded by an increasingly dense JAM army that almost completely cut off the light from the outside world.
"down!"
Above the head, the passage that could have allowed YF21 and X9 to escape has been blocked.
The only way to escape is probably underneath the JAM army.
True to his word, the second GHOST-X9 responded directly with action before even sending a response.
While the fuselage was rolling, the second GHOST-X9 had already rushed straight down, towards the blockade area below that seemed dense, but was weaker than the blockade of the JAM army above.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
The laser cannon tore through the air side by side, sweeping across the JAM army, setting off bursts of explosions.
But in that seemingly powerful explosion, the JAM army that should have been hit hard was still there.
Even though there were shocking scars on its body, it did not prevent them from blocking YF21 and the two GHOST-X9s.
"X9's attack failed?!"
Such an unbelievable word rang out in the communication channel.
One moment, it was clear that X-9's laser cannon could still cause fatal damage to JAM, but the next moment, it lost its due power.
"Evolved?"
YF21's attack finally came.
Under the control of Lei Mingkai, the bullet fired by YF21's Gatling accurately hit the wound caused by the X9 laser cannon just now.
This approach is correct.
Rather than attacking other intact parts of JAM's body, it would be better to directly attack the wounds left from the previous battle.
Under the screaming bullets, there were wounds on the racks, and the JAM was instantly devoured by the explosion.
Seeing that Lei Mingkai's approach was effective, the two X9s immediately changed their offensive tactics. Relying on their powerful computing power, they adopted the tactics of division of labor and cooperation, and joined forces to kill all the enemies blocking the route.
I don't know how much time has passed, but Lei Mingkai only remembers controlling the subconscious reactions of his body and the body when he attacked the JAM army and tried to break through. In addition, how many enemies appeared in front of him?
What do they look like?
Lei Mingkai no longer remembers it.
I just remember that ray of light that broke through the darkness.
When the lights of MACROSS city appeared before their eyes again, YF21 and two GHOST-X9 successfully broke through.
However, this is still not the end of this battle.
