Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1018 Sniper UX-01! (Two in One)

"Enemy aircraft spotted above!!"

The moment the warning of approaching enemy planes sounded on the bridge, Okita Jusan's eyes widened suddenly.

The enemy's offensive is coming!
The attack aircraft group, mainly composed of DMB87 space attack aircraft, dived and accelerated towards the Yamato like a falcon that had discovered its prey, and rushed through the Yamato's final air defense line at an extremely high speed. Under the Yamato's anti-aircraft firepower, it fired all the missiles it was carrying in one breath to clear them out.

The missiles exploded one after another on the outer armor of the Yamato, and the strong shock waves they produced raged wildly inside the ship.

The vibration was so strong that Yulisa, who was preparing for the next action, almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Melda Dietz beside her was quick-witted and caught her.

"Your Highness Yulisa, please be careful! Now is probably the time for General Demel's carrier-based aircraft to bomb the Yamato."

"Yes, I know. Then, after the bombing, that should be the time for the UX-01 to appear. Right?"

Yulisa nodded and asked.

"Yes. It is true, according to common sense."

"Well, let's go! The deputy captain is waiting for us in the mess hall."

After Yulisa stood up, she held onto the wall and walked towards the dining hall step by step amid the impact of the continuous explosions.

Shiro Sanada, who was standing in the cafeteria, held onto the railing on the wall and fell into deep thought.

Such a strong offensive might not be just to cover up the fact that UX-01 was approaching, but it might be to pave the way for the attack against Yamato after UX-01 successfully escaped.

After thinking about it, Shiro Sanada sent this idea to the bridge.

After receiving the message, Okita Jusan's expression gradually became solemn.

Because, during this period of bombing, the enemy's offensive was aimed at, in addition to the Yamato's anti-aircraft firepower, the main guns, radar and other key areas.

As for the engine area, which was more likely to cause the Yamato to sink, these Gamilas fighters never approached it at all.

"As expected, you want to take Princess Yulisa away before launching a fatal attack on the Yamato? General Gamiras."

At this critical moment, the Type 52 Zero fighter piloted by Yamamoto Ling successfully took off, and with swift and sharp movements, she blew up a DMB87 space attack aircraft that was attempting a dive attack. At the same time, her presence was noticed by Fomt Bagg, who was flying the fighter plane and turning around to prepare for the next round of dive attack.

"Mercy, you take out the catapult! I'll take out that Teren (Earth) fighter."

Fomt Bagg's order was immediately executed, and when the leader plane he was driving turned and tried to catch up with the Zero-52 fighter driven by Yamamoto Ling, two wingman planes appeared on the left and right sides to assist Fomt Bagg in chasing the Zero-52 fighter.

The one-on-three situation suddenly made Yamamoto Ling's situation extremely dangerous.

Because she not only had to protect herself, but also had to cover the Yamato's air defense.

Despite this situation, there was not a trace of fear in Yamamoto Ling's eyes. Instead, her will was extremely firm.

"Even if the second mate is not here now, I can still protect the Yamato with my own strength!!"

Such a fierce battle was also watched by UX-01 lurking on the side.

"Heini. It's very lively outside now!"

Wolf Franken smiled slightly.

"Tsk! No matter how intense the fighting outside is, it has nothing to do with us, right? We have to wait until those air forces evacuate before we can take the field."

Gor Heini curled his lips and said unhappily.

"Don't be anxious! Heini. Before the prey is exhausted, anything can happen. So, we just need to wait for a while."

The situation was just as Wolf Franken had said, the Yamato was already covered in wounds in this unexpected raid.

The smoke that filled the ship was extremely eye-catching even from a distance.

Furthermore, Wolf Franken also noticed the potential threat to UX-01 and discovered that the radar antenna of UX-01 was also destroyed by Fomt Bage's attack.

"Haha. Good job! Buggy."

"Oh? Captain, our chance has come?"

Gor Heini looked excited and looked at Wolf Franken expectantly.

Wolf Franken let go of the periscope, turned around and gave the order.

"Prepare to float up and grab the guests!"

Under his order, the 442nd Special Agent Team, which was formed to complete this mission, stood in front of Mireille Linke.

"You guys, no, forget it. Just follow my steps."

After taking a look at Yulisa's holographic projection, Mireille Linke was too lazy to give any instructions. She just said something lightly and then ignored the 442nd Special Agent Team composed of second-class Gamilas citizens, the Zarz people.

And Mireille Linke's attitude did not arouse any suspicion.

After all, whether it is Mireille Linke's identity as a special agent or her origin as a Jirel people, they are telling others not to make Mireille Linke unhappy, otherwise, they are likely to suffer revenge from Mireille Linke.

As a Girel native and a secret agent trusted by President Abelt Desla, Mireille Linke has the qualifications to ignore the feelings of others.

The 442nd Special Agent Squad, who were discussing around Yulisa's holographic projection, did not know that this mission would not be completed in the end.

"Abnormal connection signal detected!"

ALTER, who was assisting Sanada Shiro and Yulisa in making preparations, suddenly stood up and looked towards a certain position at the stern of the ship.

"ALTER. Has the signal been confirmed?"

Shiro Sanada's eyes gleamed and he asked.

"Confirmed! I'm afraid it's Gamilas' landing craft."

ALTER nodded and looked at Yulisa.

"Well, Deputy Captain, get ready to welcome the guests!"

Yulisa said this, and Sanada Shiro nodded immediately.

"Okay! Be careful!"

Melda Dietz stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"In the name of Dietz, I swear to protect Her Highness Yulisa with my life."

After a while, the Gamilas landing craft attached to the outer wall of the Yamato successfully cracked the encryption and opened the hatch to the Yamato.

"Tsk, it's so quiet."

Several members of the 442nd Special Forces, dressed in the uniforms of the Earth League of Nations, rushed out from behind the hatch one after another, but were surprised to find that the entire passage was unusually quiet.

"All of you, follow me!"

Before they could have any doubts, Mireille Linke walked directly in front of them, swaggering along the passage towards the interior area of ​​the Yamato.

"This?! Is this great man so fearless?"

Everyone was shocked by Mireille Linke's actions, but they didn't dare to fall too far behind.

The captain of the 442nd Special Agent Team looked at the youngest member and gave instructions.

"Nolan, just stay here and support us!"

As far as common sense is concerned, his arrangement is sound.

But as they followed Mireille Linke's footsteps and headed towards the interior of the Yamato, they felt more and more strange. It was clearly a warship in a fierce battle, but there was no sign of panicked crew members running back and forth in the passage, transporting supplies, or performing damage control.

Even so, the content of the ship's broadcast had already indicated that the battleship had suffered heavy damage in the previous round of attack.

The female member of the 442nd Special Forces Squad quietly gestured to the captain, but the captain shook his head slightly.

Obviously, the abnormalities along the way made the team members feel a little uneasy.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Mireille Linke, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at the 442nd Special Agent Squad.

"No! It's just too quiet around here."

The captain of the 442nd Special Forces Squad said quickly.

"Really? Don't worry, it will be over soon."

After taking a casual look at the 442nd Special Agent Team, Mireille Linke turned around again and walked in front.

That nonchalant attitude made the members of the 442nd Special Agent Team very unwilling.

But in the end, he was suppressed by the captain of the 442nd Special Forces Squad.

In this unusually uneasy atmosphere, Mireille Linke led everyone into the cafeteria.

At that moment, everyone in the 442nd Special Agent Team saw the target of the mission - Yulisa Iskandar was sitting behind the table in the middle of the cafeteria, nodding slightly at Mireille Linke.

As soon as they saw Yulisa, the 442nd Special Agent Squad immediately began to act, quickly dispersing in all directions, occupying advantageous positions, and gradually approaching Yulisa.

"I'm so sorry! I'm from the 442nd Special Agent Squad of Gamilas. Now, please follow me! Honorable Iskandar."

The leader of the 442nd Special Agent Squad issued a notice to Yulisa in the awkward Iskandar language that he had just learned.

Unexpectedly, Yulisa smiled and responded in Iskandar.

"Yes. But I won't be going with you."

Yulisa's charming smile immediately made the male members of the 442nd Special Agent Team lose their minds.

The flaw is fleeting.

Taking advantage of the moment when the male members of the 442nd Special Agent Team were distracted, the security chief Hoshina Toru who was hiding nearby led many team members to launch a sudden attack and took control of the 442nd Special Agent Team in a few moves.

"You! You guys!"

Faced with the sudden appearance of Toru Hoshina and others who controlled all of their people, and the dark gun pointed at them, and the scene where Mireille Linke walked towards Yulisa Iskandar and saluted her.

The 442nd Special Agent Team finally understood where the abnormality and uneasiness they had just felt came from! !

"You!! You actually betrayed Gamilas!! Traitor!!"

The captain of the 442nd Special Agent Squad looked at Mireille Linke angrily and roared repeatedly.

"Keep him quiet!"

Although Toru Hoshina did not understand Gamilas, he could guess why the captain of the special agent team was angry.

The security personnel around took action and randomly found some towels from the kitchen to cover the mouths of the members of the 442nd Special Forces Team.

"Your Highness, Yulisa. Next, we will infiltrate UX-01. Are you ready?"

Hoshina Toru looked around, asked the remaining subordinates to prepare to infiltrate, and then looked at Yulisa.

"Well! Get ready, let's start!"

Yulisa nodded slightly.

But why did Xing Ming Tou vaguely feel that the honorable Princess Iskandar III in front of him seemed eager to try?
"Your Highness, I want to go too!"

Melda Dietz, who was standing aside but did not take any action, spoke up.

"But I'm afraid that Mireniel Linke alone cannot provide them with cover."

"No. With my abilities, most of the crew on UX-01 are not a problem. The only one to watch out for is Captain Wolf Franken. His will is far beyond that of an ordinary Gamilas."

Mireille Linke denied it.

"That's why I need to come along. I'm Melda Dietz, the daughter of Gal Dietz. That Captain Wolf Franken is a subordinate of my father Gal Dietz."

"alright, alright!"

As the two women were arguing about whether to go along, Yulisa clapped her hands and chuckled.

"In that case, let's act together! After all, that ship is not small! It will take a lot of manpower to control it!"

"Negative, Your Highness. The control system of the UX-01 can be operated by the combined efforts of me and Lord Anino."

Unexpectedly, ALTER, who had been standing silently aside, also got involved.

"Stop! Stop! If you keep arguing like this, UX-01 will probably suspect something's wrong! Hurry!"

A figure appeared on ALTER's shoulder, swinging its prismatic body back and forth, warning everyone around.

And it is none other than the AI ​​Annino, the clone that He Ming had asked the intelligent AI cube Arduino to leave specifically for the Yamato.

It hadn't had free time for a long time, so when it saw the others starting to quarrel, it immediately jumped out to stop them, fearing that it would waste time.

"Ahem. Let's go! We have to hurry."

Hoshina Toru breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked everyone to move their positions, enter the landing craft, and send a signal to UX-01.

As for Nolan, a member of the 442nd Special Agent Team who had a history of working with Mori Xue in the original time and space, he unfortunately became a prisoner of the Yamato and was stuffed into a confinement room with his teammates, waiting for the end of the war.

UX-01, who was lurking nearby and waiting for news, noticed the movement of the landing craft and Wolf Franken immediately gave the order.

"Surface! Prepare to recover the fish!"

At the same time, Yamamoto Ling, who was on guard nearby, noticed the movement and was about to step forward to intercept, but was stopped by Sanada Shiro.

"Yamamoto, don't stop us! That's part of our action plan!"

"Action plan? That's Gamilas' ship, right?"

"No. Don't worry! It's fine."

After taking a puzzled look at the Fish that was about to merge with UX-01, Yamamoto Ling made a fake dive attack and passed over it. Finally, she watched UX-01 dive into the subspace and disappear before her eyes.

"Containment complete! Mission accomplished! UX-01, evacuate the battlefield! Our mission is over."

Going to the periscope and watching the Type 52 Zero space fighter circling back and forth, Wolf Franken smiled contemptuously and ordered the UX-01 to evacuate the battlefield.

But, unfortunately, the hatch of the bridge was suddenly opened.

A group of earth soldiers armed with live ammunition rushed in, led by Yulisa, Mireniel and Melda.

Surrounded by Earth soldiers, Melda Dietz strode forward, looked at Wolf Franken, and spoke loudly.

"I'm so sorry! Captain Franken. Your ship has been requisitioned by Iskandar!"
