Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2013 Prepare to Die, Char!

A powerful surge of energy swept across the entire battlefield once again.

However, this time it wasn't just the NEWTYPE pilots who felt this chilling fluctuation; everyone did.

"what happened?!"

The three members of the Ernesti team, who were attacking from the flank, subconsciously slowed down and turned their attention to the wreckage of the rear half of Axis, which had been mostly destroyed by the Prism System.

"This feeling is as cold as when a necromancer is casting some kind of terrible magic."

Adi shuddered, her expression slightly panicked.

She was fearless on the battlefield, but she couldn't escape the natural fear that girls have of certain strange and eerie things.

"No! He's not a necromancer."

Ernesti rarely showed a solemn expression.

"It seems those Ghostfaces that Colonel Ming mentioned have interfered in this battle! Hu Suo, shall we go and support Colonel Ming?"

"No! Proceed with our mission as planned! If Colonel Ming needs support, he will let us know. We haven't heard from him. So, we just need to complete our mission and cut off the enemy's reinforcements!"

As a NEWTYPE member, Huso also sensed this unusual and chilling atmosphere, but he still insisted on completing their mission.

“Yes! Al, Artie, we are now federal soldiers, and completing our mission is our top priority.”

Qide, who was on the other side, also agreed with Husso's decision.

"Alright! Then let's do our best to complete the mission! And then support Colonel Ming!"

"it is good!"

Therefore, the moment when the flank forces reached a consensus was a harbinger of the impending annihilation of the Death Vanguard Fleet.

With Death Vanguard having deployed all its mobile suit units to support Ironface, they no longer had enough manpower to intercept the Earth Federation Forces' flanking attack.

However, the Death Vanguard Fleet didn't care.

In the eyes of the Death Vanguard, as long as their leader, Ironface, can successfully activate the final program, then victory in this battle will surely belong to them.

At that point, whether the fleet survives or not will no longer matter!

"Gentlemen, the vanguard of death will never forget your sacrifice! Nor will I! Your bravery will surely be engraved on the monument of the new era."

The voice of the armored mask, carrying a chilling aura, swept across the entire Death Vanguard fleet. However, under such a chilling aura, the entire Death Vanguard fleet revealed a fanatical expression, shouting the slogan of sacrificing their lives for the Death Vanguard in the name of Rona, and actively accelerating towards the flank of the Earth Federation Forces.

This move of advancing instead of retreating shocked the Earth Federation Forces' mobile suit units that were launching a surprise attack from the flank.

"Don't worry about too much!! The enemy has deliberately left our friendly fleet and is coming to meet us, which makes things easier for us! All aircraft, full attack!"

Hu Suo's eyes flashed, and he fearlessly rushed forward first.

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye, the flank was engulfed in flames of war.

The changes on the flanks made the atmosphere on the main battlefield even more unpredictable.

Amidst that chilling, eerie fluctuation, the Buckbugs, which had been wiped out by the Prism System, reappeared.

However, while the numbers are no longer as terrifying as before, the total number is still approaching one thousand.

At the same time, Death Vanguard and Neo Zeon's mobile suit units also arrived and engaged in fierce fighting with the Federation mobile suit units on the main battlefield.

In an instant, the entire battlefield, whether on the front or the flanks, was in complete chaos.

Where is it? Where exactly is it?

The mobile suit forces from the Valley have been deployed to the battlefield and are engaged in fierce combat with the mobile suit forces of Neo Zeon.

However, during this fierce battle, Char (Yakuya) did not focus all his attention on the Neo Zeon mobile suits. Instead, he was searching for something while fighting back.

This unusual behavior naturally did not escape Lara Singh's notice.

But she knew exactly what her man was searching for, so she provided cover from the sidelines, trying her best to prevent the enemy from interfering with Char's (the Valley's) search. Fortunately, Char's (the Valley's) search did not take too long.

Or perhaps the two combatants made no attempt to conceal their fighting, and the battle grew increasingly intense, with the commotion growing louder and louder.

"Go, Colonel!"

Lara Singh said softly.

"Ah."

Xia (Yugu) nodded, without leaving any words, and immediately accelerated to catch up.

Lala Shin followed behind, continuing to protect Char (The Valley) and prevent surrounding enemies from hindering his advance.

On the other hand, the two who were fighting each other had reached a fever pitch.

"What's wrong? Does that mean Amuro Ray can only fight by relying on the performance of his mobile suit because he didn't have those few years of experience?"

Streaks of dark red light outlined Nightingale's entire armor into distinct sections, making it appear exceptionally eerie.

Upon closer inspection, the flowing patterns on Nightingale's body now seem somewhat similar to those of Banshee Gundam after activating NT-D.

Moreover, ever since these flowing patterns appeared, Nightingale has been able to keep up with the F91 Gundam, which is moving at full power in Sport mode.

In this situation, Char (Neo Zeon)'s sarcasm appears particularly skillful.

"Really? Then what's with the patterns on your machine? Could it be that you copied Colonel Ming's Banshee Gundam?"

Amro retorted sarcastically.

"Plagiarism? Don't talk nonsense! The psychoframe itself was developed in my time! In this era, neither the Federation Army, nor the Titans, nor the Valley, nor that woman from Axis have developed the technological path for the psychoframe!"

"Yes, but they are just Psycommu biocomputers!"

Char (Neo Zeon) dismissed Amuro's sarcasm without hesitation.

"···"

Amuro fell silent.

Amuro, who already possessed the relevant technical background, naturally knew about the astonishing performance of the Banshee Gundam.

The kind of control that allows the pilot to become one with the machine, with the feeling of direct control, is simply not the kind of technology that should exist in this era.

If He Ming weren't one of their own, Amuro would probably be wondering to himself if Banshee Gundam had also popped out of that dimensional rift.

"It seems you're not so dull after all!"

Char (Neo Zeon) sneered.

"Stop talking nonsense! Char! Is this how you deceive others and make them risk their lives for you?

Amuro let out a low growl and controlled the F91 Gundam to charge forward with its sword.

Char (Neo Zeon) snorted coldly and fearlessly ordered Nightingale to retaliate with her sword.

After a flurry of swordplay, when the two separated again, they both turned their gazes in the same direction.

"Heh. Even I, from this era, can't hold back anymore? Char Aznable of the Valley!"

"What are you doing here, Char Aznable of the Valley?!"

Facing his future self and Amuro's questioning, Char (The Valley) roared with high fighting spirit.

"Of course I'm here to settle our fates!! Char Aznable! I will never become like you, you damned creature!"

Upon hearing this, Char (Neo Zeon) burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! You really dare to say that! The lucky one who is fortunate enough to be nestled in Lala's embrace, receiving the only warmth and comfort in the world, dares to be so arrogant!! You're asking for death!!"

"Char Aznable!! Prepare to die!!"
