Thick and strong steel cables with lock hooks dropped from the sky, and with the help of many technicians, they were fixed one by one to the temporary fixing rings that were installed in a hurry.
On both sides of these thick and strong steel cables are the floating battleship Avalon suspended in the air, and the Son of Danu paralyzed on the pale white ground.
This was a decision made by Theresa.
Not long ago, Avalon, who arrived in time, relied on the optimal strike coordinate coefficients calculated through precise calculations to send three Freyjas to the precise strike coordinates, while destroying the group of monsters besieging the Son of Danu.
, and also to protect the Sons of Danu from the aftermath of the Freyja explosion to the greatest extent possible.
Judging from the results, Avalon's rescue operation was effective.
Although the outer armor of the Son of Danu suffered some damage in the aftermath of the Freyja explosion, there were no other losses among the crew members on the ship except for the sacrifices made while resisting the attack of the monster swarm.
"Captain, this plan is ridiculous!"
Standing on the bridge of Avalon, Richard Madukas, who straightened his back in front of Teresa as always and maintained the standard straddle military posture, still disagreed with Teresa's decision.
And Teresa also made the same small gesture of twirling her silver braid with her left hand as always, just like she did when she was commanding the Sons of Dannu to perform their missions.
"Colonel Madukas. The core energy of this floating battleship is enough to complete the task of taking the Son of Danu away from this pale white desert. Why do you still raise objections?"
"No! Captain..."
Richard Madukas responded subconsciously, but was interrupted by Theresa.
"My name is Colonel Teresa Testarossa Madukas. Now, I am no longer the captain of the Sons of Danu."
"But...but in our hearts..."
Richard Madukas opened his mouth and finally accepted this reality.
"I'm sorry! Captain Teresa."
Richard Madukas sighed secretly.
"Let's end the discussion about whether the Son of Danu can leave here! Next, I'm afraid we need Colonel Madukas to speed up our actions."
Theresa looked at Richard Madukas' helpless expression and smiled slightly.
Then, she looked at the CIC next to her and ordered:
"Order the twins to lead their respective troops forward, establish a defense line within the effective fire strike range of Avalon, and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"yes!"
When Richard Madukas heard this, he subconsciously wanted to speak, saying that the son of Danu still had the strength to fight.
But he had forgotten that the girl sitting in the captain's seat of Avalon was once the captain of the Sons of Danu.
Therefore, Teresa knows exactly how much fighting power the Sons of Danu still have.
"Colonel Madukas, Son of Danu's current task is to complete the towing operation as soon as possible. Leave the task of resisting the enemy to us!"
Teresa warned Richard Madukas unceremoniously.
At this moment, Richard Madukas seemed to have the illusion that Theresa was commanding the Sons of Dannu.
"Yes! Captain!"
Richard Madukas's instinctive reaction was almost engraved in her bones, leaving Teresa speechless, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Teresa had already anticipated this scene when she boarded the floating battleship Avalon and led the twin troops to rescue the Son of Danu.
The scorching strong wind swept across the pale white land, bringing up bursts of sand and dust.
But among the billowing sand and dust, there were blurry figures that moved very fast.
In the blink of an eye, these figures rushed out of the sand and dust blown up by the strong wind, trampled wantonly on the pale white ground below, and rushed towards the Son of Danu who was doing towing operations in the distance.
This is another wave of monsters that found the Sons of Danu.
"Da da da da!"
At this moment, a series of gunshots fell from the sky, shooting out streaks of scarlet blood mist among the figures rushing towards the Sons of Danu.
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
Splatters of flesh and blood,
The falling body,
And among the dust that was swept up into the air and immediately stained red by the splashing blood mist, was a miserable monster with a head shaped like a tumor and tentacles on its body.
"Yulan, you are on the left and I am on the right."
The moment the lion-hearted knights, painted in red and purple, led their subordinates to fall from the sky, they immediately separated and launched a fierce attack on the left and right wings of the monster group.
The Lionheart Knight, a cutting-edge machine designed and manufactured by the Britannian Empire specifically for the Royal Guards Knights, has already figured out the most suitable tactics for facing this situation of using less to fight more.
Some of the Lionheart Knights who followed the Gemini in a sharp assault formation raised their 50mm machine guns and formed a dense fire net, beating the pale tumor-like monsters that tried to intercept the Gemini into a hornet's nest.
In this dense firepower network, the Lionheart Knights located further back use the 105mm cannon mounted on their shoulders as an attack method, focusing on the possibility of gathering together to form a fatal attack on the assault team, especially the closest twins.
Threatening swarm of monsters.
Those bursts of gunfire,
That roar,
Under the brave charge of the Lionheart Knight, a dazzling and bright red impact trajectory was intertwined for this pale white land.
On the deck of Sons of Danu, a pair of binoculars were watching the bright red trajectory that kept hitting the monster.
"Wow! Sister Mao, look at how fierce those guys are. They can actually fight against those monsters."
The person who used a telescope to observe the Lion-Hearted Knights led by Gemini as they attacked the pale monster was Clouzot Viba.
Standing beside him were Melissa Mao and Sosuke Sagara.
"show me!"
Although Melissa Mao did not have a telescope, she felt something with her keen intuition.
That was an ability that she had just fully mastered.
A power that can only be stimulated by boarding a machine equipped with a lambda drive system.
"λ drive."
The moment Melissa Mao picked up the telescope, Sosuke Sagara also noticed the secrets contained in the aircraft driven by the twins who were rushing at the front.
"Yes! I didn't expect that the knight would use the lambda drive system on his own people after he returned."
After Melissa Mao casually threw the telescope back to Clouzot Verba, who looked fawning, she turned around and leaned against the railing that had been distorted out of shape in the previous battle, looking at the busy construction workers.
"But, why do the movements of those two aircraft look familiar? They seem to be people we have dealt with before."
I have to say that Melissa Mao’s intuition is indeed very accurate.
The twins who are using the power of the lambda drive system and rushing to the front line without fear are indeed their old acquaintances.
However, at this time, the Gemini no longer cared about the existence of Danu's son.
In their eyes, there are only enemies.
"AI. Collect enemy characteristics, voice shapes, and action patterns, and upload them to the Avalon Intelligence Center!"
When Xia Yufang was charging among the monsters, she calmly gave instructions to the AI system equipped on the machine.
"Yes! Start collecting the required information now!"
The Lion-Hearted Knight, who was mainly painted in purple, waved the blade in his hand and chopped the pale monster in front of him into several pieces. At the same time, he flew up and struck the whip leg, taking advantage of the blood mist to pounce on the Purple Lion-Hearted Knight.
The monster kicked and exploded.
This is the explosive reactive armor specially installed on the feet of the Purple Lion Heart Knight based on Xia Yufang's driving style.
Not only can it resist the enemy's live ammunition attack, but it can also be detonated by Xia Yufang at the right time under special circumstances, causing unexpected damage to the enemy.
"Yufang, be careful!"
Just as Xia Yulan's reminder sounded, a layer of dim light suddenly shrouded the purple lion-hearted knight, blocking the huge monster that suddenly rushed out from the group of pale monsters, bringing with it a scarlet blood mist.
"boom!!"
The moment the terrifying impact force collided with the shimmering barrier condensed by the lambda drive system, the shock wave erupted instantly smashed the pale monsters around the purple lion-hearted knight into pieces.
The monsters that were closer were even torn apart by this terrifying shock wave, fell into a pool of blood, and were trampled into pulp by the huge monster that rushed out from among them.
"Buzz... buzz buzz!!"
Amidst the buzzing sound of the low-light barrier operating, Xia Yufang noticed the appearance of the monster that suddenly rushed out.
Huge and sharp, with a gorgeous triangular head like a corolla,
Possessing unparalleled power, it can easily smash ordinary bodies into pieces.
These characteristics all point to a certain hostile race that Xia Yufang only saw in top-secret intelligence released with Lei Mingkai's authorization.
"Buzz!! Boom!!"
The moment the idea arose in Xia Yufang's mind, the power of the lambda drive system exploded.
The sudden burst of terrifying power caused the giant beast with a triangular head to retreat continuously.
In the blink of an eye, he was defeated, his limbs softened, and he fell to the ground, enveloped by the death shock that followed.
"Click!"
The triangular head that bore the brunt of the attack cracked.
Then the flesh and blood body containing the powerful impact was torn apart.
In the gushing blood mist, it was torn apart by the death impact of the lambda drive system,
Just like a skilled chef preparing shredded chicken, the giant beast is peeled off into a huge and terrifying skeleton.
"The target's life reaction disappears!"
While the AI confirms the death of the giant beast, it will also report the information received from the Avalon Intelligence Center.
"Intelligence confirmation! The behemoth monster that just appeared is 91.32% similar to the BETA recorded in the intelligence data. After confirmation with Commander Teresa, Avalon's subordinates temporarily identified the monsters active in this pale land as
For BETA.”
"Sure enough, it's BETA!!"
Xia Yufang took a deep breath.
Next, is the highlight!!
"Sure enough, is it BETA?"
On the pale earth,
In that farther and higher void,
Lei Mingkai stood in the command center of the Control Throne, frowning slightly as he looked at the picture captured by the optical camera of the Control Throne.
On the screen, apart from the space battleship struggling to escape, there are monsters chasing after it.
Not to mention the former, but the latter, Lei Mingkai was very surprised by their appearance.
Yes!
That was the enemy Lei Mingkai encountered when he first went to the City of Stars.
They are the cosmic BETAs infected by the abyss!!
What they are chasing is ZAFT’s newest battleship, the Minerva!!!
