Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 649: Hitting the wall (Part )
"Where did this drone come from? It's so sneaky and annoying!"

After controlling the 'Beggar's Version of Relock' to fire a salvo to increase his kill count by 3, Tiago's cursing voice was heard again in the team channel. Nicol beside him could not fire without hesitation due to the limited amount of ammunition by Dyensniff, so he was only responsible for finishing off Tiago in between shooting.

"It seems that since half a year ago, the terrorists attacking PLANT's homeland have become drones. My father showed me the latest national defense white paper. The wreckage seized by the First Fleet showed no signs of being operated by living people."

Compared with these two people, Lina's prototype ν Gundam not far away was not inferior. The existence of wire control greatly made up for Lina's poor high-altitude ability. The wire-controlled floating cannon completely crushed the High Zaku Demon Wolf driven by Mikhail when it came to harvesting heads.

However, Michal was no longer at the age of being competitive. After being beaten up by Siegfried in the jungle area, he realized how ignorant his behavior of competing with Cong Yunhe in his early years was. He even retired from ZAFT because he could not overcome his fear.

Later, someone dug his way out of PLANT and made him join the People's Revolutionary League. He thought he could be a doctor after the war, but now he jumped to Lund Bell again, which made Michal feel that it was his fate.

"New thermal reaction, unknown model?"

On Neo Agama, Arthur looked at the several MS signal sources on the radar in surprise. Their opponents since the beginning of the battle have always been old models. Now that new models have appeared, it means that the situation in the area where they are stationed has changed greatly.

"Report the battle situation to Commander Omi, and indicate that this ship does not require support for the time being."

After returning to the captain's seat, Kuraitis slowly walked out of the haze left by Durandal. The military blood in her bones allowed her to quickly adapt to her new identity. Before coming to the universe to support the First Fleet, this independent force had carried out many peacekeeping and anti-terrorism missions, and even had several encounters with Compass.

At that time, both sides lacked an absolute core, and both Tiago and Griffin were very wise not to provoke the other side. This miraculous peace made Kuratis secretly angry.

She knew very well the original intention of Orb to form Londo Bell, which was to find a shield for Celestial Being. At present, the world is not ready to accept an armed force that is superior to all mankind. In other words, PLANT has tried this before and lost miserably, so it is easy for people to think that Celestial Being is a small group of elites who deliberately copy Patrick's old path.

The value of this team lies in whether they can compete with Compass, or at least not be at a disadvantage on the surface. If it really comes to a king-to-king battle, Kuratis believes that Orb will not remain indifferent. Aslan and Siegfried, two walking strategic weapons, are their greatest reliance.

But Luo Pan's restraint made it difficult for Kulaitis to prove her worth. Although the probability was very small, after getting used to everything on the new battleship, she no longer wanted to go back to the agricultural satellite and count wheat ears, so she became the pro-war faction who was eager for the two sides to clash.

"Six new models, five of which have the same thermal pattern. Most likely they are the core MS with five support AIs. Tell Tiago to capture them alive!"

While the CIC identified the source of the signal, Kulatis immediately made a judgment. Although she did not have complete combat intelligence on the First Fleet due to her identity, the unusual defense zone transfer had already made this senior captain aware of something unusual.

The routine suicide drone attacks later made Kuratis wonder if she was being too suspicious, until the appearance of a strange model that had never been recorded before, which made her reassure herself that she was not worrying too much. "Abby, send the heat pattern to the Seraph, which has a more complete database. See if we can find a similar model. This ship will immediately start the anti-MS combat mission."

In the space ahead, as Thiago detonated the last Zaku drone, Nicol had already called on Lina and Michal to form an attack formation behind him.

The theoretical full load capacity of their mothership is 12 MS, but the Troy team is undergoing all-terrain combat transformation in Orb. They will later come to the universe with Takito as the second MS reinforcement force to reunite with Tiago, but for now, they can only rely on the four former red-clothed men and a ZⅡ team supported by Orb to form the most basic MS combat force.

"Sure enough, it's a guy I haven't seen before. Nicole, let's team up to deal with the leader. The captain said we must capture him alive!"

“Don’t be too aggressive”

Six almost identical MS appeared on everyone's screens. The one Tiago was pointing at was only different from the other five in its head. It had a typical 'Gundam face', which was easily distinguishable from the other 'mask faces' at a glance.

Judgment's salvo of firepower directly broke through the enemy's formation. Nicol pulled the joystick hard, and Tianfa pulled out a physical sword from the shield to intercept the suspected captain's machine. Michal and Lina behind him with three ZⅡ also quickly took over the remaining five drones.

The physical sword hit the opponent's shield, and the next second Thiago's artillery support came over. As a result, the captain's plane seemed to have predicted the two's thoughts and retreated without hesitation. Nicol wanted to chase but was blocked by Thiago's artillery fire.

"Is it a coincidence?"

Nicol's heart moved slightly. The cooperation between the two of them was completely based on their proficiency. If Siegfried had relied on his brute force to take the attack, it would not have jumped out of Nicol's prediction, but the opponent's retreat action obviously gave up the protection of fighting. This also showed that the enemy had predicted Tiago's firepower coverage and even determined the approximate coordinates.

This time Nicol was extremely alert. Tianfa once again cut into close combat distance and used his physical sword to restrict the opponent's range of movement. Tiago in the back also switched from fixed-point shooting to harassment guerrilla warfare, trying to divert the opponent's attention in this way and create an opportunity for Nicol to deliver a fatal blow.

"try again!"

The Gundam Tenfa was changed to be held with both hands, and a heavy slash briefly stopped the enemy plane's evasion. Then a beam of light suddenly appeared from the wrist of the Gundam Tenfa, and a green beam sword quickly took shape and stabbed fiercely towards the cockpit.

However, a pair of mechanical arms popped out from the inside of the enemy plane's skirt armor, and then two beam swords stabbed at Tianfa's waist from bottom to top at an extremely sinister angle, intending to exchange Nicol's life for his.
