Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 56 Bloody Battle ([-])

Compared with the trio on the bridge, the other crew members on the Archangel only knew that Siegfried went to the Dawn Society for technical assistance like Kira, and Maru never revealed from the beginning to the end that he did not plan to come back after this trip.

But fortunately, Maru didn't announce it, which saved Siegfried the trouble of explaining one by one after returning to the ship. Even Mi Li thought he was just coming back in time when he saw him, so she came here to laugh at him. .

"Hey? Don't you want to stay in Orb to marry the princess? So I'm willing to come back."

"Milliaria, as a CIC, you seem to have a lot of dissatisfaction with my ACE."

"How dare I, maybe in the future, if you become Prime Minister Orb, I plan to write your story on the boat as a memoir and sell it for money~ Ouch, it hurts."

Seeing that the other party was getting more and more out of tune, Siegfried flicked Mi Li's forehead with his finger a little funny, "Is the book called Stories that Mi Li and the Prime Minister Siegfried have to tell? I'm so used to Thor." I'm following you."

"Tch~ That idiot, I don't even bother to talk about him."

"Show affection, right? I'm sorry I'm here."

However, the relaxed atmosphere only lasted until the moment of leaving Orb's territorial waters. When the entire hull of the Archangel sailed out of the coastline, Maru issued an order for the second combat guard, and all combatants must remain on duty.

Originally, Maru didn't want to make the whole crew tense up prematurely. After all, there is still a long journey from Alaska, and it is not good to be tense for a long time, but Bucky Lulu insisted that "this is war, Under the argument that nothing is surprising in times of war, the Second Combat Guard is still used to deal with possible accidents.

Turns out, you can always trust Bucky Lulu when it comes to fighting.Team Sara is in a state of 'voluntarily accepting third-party supervision' after taking over Shiho.However, ZAFT's ground forces are not limited to the Sara team. Apparently, Aslan has also moved for real this time. Just four hours after the Archangel left Orb, another Vosgulov-class ship has appeared. Shipboard radar is on.

Then, just when Maru was about to come up with the truce agreement negotiated in Orb, the other party issued a signal for regular patrols. At this moment, the position was on the high seas. If ZAFT was just patrolling, no one would say anything.

"Can't we preemptively strike? We are on the high seas, and the United and PLANT are already at war. Even on normal patrols, we can attack directly."

Bucky Lulu wouldn't be used to ZAFT's stink. Seeing that the other party made it clear that he wanted to follow her, she immediately summoned three pilots to take down the damned Vosgurov class.

"The lieutenant who can't do it, let's not say that their current depth is not within the reach of mobile suits. If they can't hit the mothership, it's tantamount to fighting for nothing. Even those Goohns never fight us. Kira and I will go down." After a few times, the opponent ran away as soon as they saw it was sword fighting equipment, and the two sets of air combat and artillery combat equipment didn’t even have decent firepower underwater, and they just wanted to drag it until the Sala team caught up.”

It's not that Siegfried and the others are unaware of the current passive situation, but Gespenst and Assault went into the water consecutively. Except for the first time when a Goohn was accidentally hit by an electromagnetic rifle and sent Siegfried's head, the remaining times were all Going in circles around the two of them from a distance.

Assault's sword fighting equipment can only stare blankly in this situation. After all, Gespenst is not a special underwater machine. After chasing it a few times and finding that the opponent is still reluctant to approach because of the electromagnetic rifle, he also gave up his plan to shoot down.

"Then there is no other way!"

The taste of passivity always makes people feel irritated. Bucky Lulu punched heavily on the table in the war room, but the three pilots really couldn't give much useful advice.

"Who made the combined surface forces so unreliable?"

In the end, it was Siegfried who pointed out the core problem. With the opening of the cosmic era, the equipment of the old navy could not keep up with the update speed of the cosmic forces.Although the regimes within the Earth sphere in the CE world are not highly unified, and there are three large-scale regime aggregates alone, it is undeniable that almost all countries ignore the role of the navy intentionally or unintentionally. ZAFT was helpless.

"Be prepared for a deadly battle. Judging from the opponent's actions, it should be waiting for the merger with the G team before launching an offensive in one fell swoop. Before that, we can only do this first."

Mu's conclusion finally set the tone for the meeting, and Siegfried was thankful for his decision. He thought it would be a 3V4, but now there is another Vosgurov class. It is said that the submarine The maximum carrying number can reach a numbing 14 planes.Even if the ship below them is not fully loaded, someone must take care of it not only in the air, but also under the water. In this case, if he doesn't join, even Kira's explosion will probably be suspended.

In this suffocating atmosphere, three days seemed so short.And what's worse is that the entire Archangel is not particularly manned, otherwise Mi Li and the others would not be needed to join the bridge.Now being harassed by the underwater troops day and night, the entire bridge and the maintenance team are overloaded with work.

Originally, Siegfried had planned to ignore those Goohns, but Mu rejected this 'arrogant idea'. That night, after discovering that Striker and Gespenst hadn't launched into the water, Goohn ruthlessly threw them at the bottom of the ship. A few anti-air rocket darts.In the end, there was really no other way. Siegfried and Kira began to take turns to be on duty, regardless of day or night, as soon as the image on the radar lighted up, they would immediately launch into the water to pursue it.

The time came to the fifth day, and Bucky Lulu estimated that the time for Sara to catch up was imminent. Kira had just taken a light sleep in Fleur's room and was about to change Siegfried's shift, but was pulled Live in the corner of the clothes.

"Fleur, don't do this. If it weren't for your insistence on returning to Alaska, Lieutenant Bucky Lulu would never allow you to board the ship."

When she was in Orb, Fleur was forced to retire because of her 'intentional assassination of her colleagues'. Bucky Lulu meant to let her be taken over by Aub, and she was never allowed to follow and harm others.But Fleur brought out the name of her late father and said that she was going to Alaska to find her relatives. Since George Alusta died in the process of welcoming the Archangel anyway, Marieu agreed with her. She is required, but she is also required not to leave the room a step, so as not to cause anything to happen again, and Bucky Lulu's character will definitely end up being executed by shooting.

Since leaving Orb, Fleur has indeed stayed in the room honestly, and Kira usually takes care of her daily life. Even if she knew that Siegfly had returned, she didn't make any troubles, but now suddenly Stopped Kira who was going to change shifts.

"Kira. I. Scared."

"I will protect you, everyone on this ship!"

"But Dad. You said the same thing back then. The murderer."

"Fleur! Siegfried didn't have to come back!"

"Kira. I am to you"

"He didn't have to come back!!!"

Repeating the same sentence twice in a row, maybe because she felt that her tone was a bit harsh, Kira finally patted Fleur's hand, signaling her to let go, and if she didn't change shifts, she would miss the time.

Seeing the back of Kira leaving, Fleur, who was only wearing unlined clothing, tightly grasped the sheets. For some reason, this moment made her feel a little empty in her heart, and finally, in a helpless mood, she stretched out her hands hard. The sheets were crumpled up.

Kira, who didn't know about this, came to Ganaku and found Mili standing beside Gespenst with a plate, with a concerned and anxious expression on her face.

"Millie, what's the matter?"

"It will be meal time. Lieutenant Bucky Lulu asked me to send the food to Ganaku to save the driver's energy, but Siegfried seems to be asleep."

Rubbing his eyes, in fact, even Kira felt tired, so he was not surprised that Siegfried fell asleep in the cockpit, but now it was shift change time, so Kira still let Marduk from the cockpit. The outside opened the hatch, shaking Siegfried awake who was soundly asleep.

"Has ZAFT called!!! Where is it!!!"

After waking up, Siegfried grasped the joystick, but it was only after Mi Li told him softly that the meal was delivered that he slowly released his guard.

For Siegfried, these few days have been a nightmare, even in the escape journey of the universe, he has never felt tired.One is to adjust the physical fitness of a person to put it there. Compared with a natural person, he can indeed last a longer fighting time. Second, at that time, even that pervert Kruse had never been harassed day and night like this, more or less There is always a time to catch your breath.

But now, due to the shortage of manpower, only Strike and Gespenst can go into the water. Both he and Kira have to be on duty for 24 hours alone before changing shifts. Although Mu has taught them how to save energy during non-combat time, Siegfried I still feel exhausted just like the tide is submerging myself.

"What day is it today?" Siegfried lost the concept of time as he ate quickly.

"On the fifth day, according to calculations, the pursuing troops will catch up with us by tomorrow at the latest."

"Anyway, it's better than suffering like this."

"Thank you and Kira"

"This is war. Any means, as long as it works."

"The first battle guard of all staff, the first battle guard of all staff!"

The sudden alarm rang throughout the ship. Siegfried hurriedly handed over the half-eaten plate to Mili, then turned and jumped back into the cockpit. After switching on the screen, Bucky Lulu appeared at him with a serious expression. in front of.

"The radar shows that the four Gs have already caught up, and the mobile suits will attack immediately after they are ready."

"Shouldn't it be tomorrow? Did they fly over?"

As the oldest pilot, although Mu couldn't participate in the duty because the body couldn't launch, he still stayed in the Ganaku with Kira and Siegfried, and didn't go back alone because he didn't need to attack by himself. Rest, at this time his sky king has been transferred to the catapult, and he is about to attack the enemy as a striker.

"It did fly over. According to the news from Orb, that army dispatched two large transport planes, and they transported G upright under the eyes of the Aub army. They took off immediately after three days, so Only shortened the pursuit time."

Since the assault still needs to mount equipment, Gespenst stepped on the catapult second. Siegfried was surprised at Aslan's decisiveness, and at the same time lamented that he is the only son of the new speaker. Obviously, all large transport vehicles They are all moving closer to Alaska, but Dad has the authority, and Patrick can actually squeeze out two transport planes for his son to chase after the Archangel.

Thinking of this, Siegfried connected the channel to Strike, and looking at Kira with a complicated expression, he still had to remind, "Kira Yamato, your good friend is determined to shoot us down this time. , maybe he still has feelings for you, but obviously we are not on his forgiveness list, and now the combat power is better than you know, no, no more strokes!"

After finishing speaking, seeing the three LAUNCH indicators light up, and following Mili's guidance, Siegfried stepped on the pedal, "Gespenst, attack, Mili turned on the external power supply."

The black mobile suit ejected with two suspected fuel tank equipment on its back, and compared with the original mobile suit, there were many balance wings added to the mobile suit.However, it did not rely on its flying ability to go straight to the Sara team. Instead, it adjusted its posture slightly and stopped on the deck of the Archangel. A power cord was extended, and Siegfried made a little manipulation to connect it to the open external interface of the Archangel.

"The liquid nitrogen reserves are 100%, and the neutron interference is serious, so we can only aim visually."

Although Hilde told him that Harrow was no longer able to "backstab" without authorization, Siegfried only consulted Gespenst's modification information, and still did not bring this assistant.

"The air convection over the sea is really troublesome."

The computer on the MS kept calculating the shooting route, and at the same time, the bridge of the Archangel also synchronized the data from the shipboard observer. Bucky Lulu decided to strike first, just like him.

Taking advantage of the gap in data sharing, Siegfried was also manually fine-tuning the crosshairs. As several black spots visible to the naked eye appeared at the end of the sky, he finally pressed the small positron gun that had never been used before. switch.

Red energy surged out from the muzzle, and almost at the same time, a large amount of liquid nitrogen was sprayed on the gun barrel from the rear of the fuselage, accompanied by a huge fire in the distance, Gespenst immediately turned on high-frequency vibration, and the positron gun The ice cubes shattered inch by inch, and finally turned into ice chips scattered on the surface of the Indian Ocean.
