Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 782 The inevitable conspiracy! (3/3)

"Anti-aircraft missiles, launch tubes 1 to 6, fire!"

"Anti-air artillery god, set to automatic mode!"

"Godfeldt, target, enemy warship, free attack!"

"Bariante, lock onto the enemy MS troops and disperse their formation! Don't let them gather together!"

As Natal Bakilulu's orders were issued in an orderly manner, she also raised her head and looked at the tactical map in front of her, looking at Chengying who was driving away the enemy fleet.

"Report, number of enemy MS!"

"Yes! There are currently 20 Jinns and 2 Xigu engaged in battle with us. They are trying to gather and deal an effective blow to our ship. However, with the combined efforts of the Mobius Force and the M1 Heretic Force, they have not been able to pose an effective threat to our ship."

"Continue to maintain effective suppression!"

Natal Baqilulu nodded slightly.

At present, the battlefield is vaguely divided into two parts, and the area dividing the battlefield is the area where Chengying is active.

Every time Chengying changed his flight trajectory, he would force the nearby ZAFT warships to move further towards the gravel belt.

"Report! The enemy fleet has released a new round of MS troops, numbering about 30. They are approaching us at high speed."

This was a desperate struggle by the ZAFT Guard Squadron.

After discovering that the rubble belt might be a trap, the ZAFT Alert Squadron no longer held back and released all the MS units it could, attempting to force back or even sink the Archangel and Kusanagi that were blocking their way.

"Are these the only mobile suits that can be dispatched by the six Nazca-class and four Loracia-class ships? Director Simmons, do you think these are the mobile suits of this ZAFT fleet?"

Chisaca was silent for a moment and looked at Erica Simmons beside him.

"I'm sorry! I'm just a technician! I don't know much about what's going on on the battlefield."

Erica Simmons shook her head and pointed to the home screen.

"But, you see, Colonel He and the Archangel's Strike Gundam are still in the key position to divide this battlefield into two."

Chisaca pondered, then stood up and gave the order.

"Let the second and third teams of the Heretics attack and do their best to eliminate the ZAFT MS forces that are trying to break out. Assist the Mobius forces to complete the blockade of the ZAFT fleet."

"learn!"

The second and third squads of M1 Heretics that flew out from the Kusanagi one after another became the last straw that overwhelmed the ZAFT MS forces that were trying to break out and open up a retreat for the fleet.

"What?! Whose mobile suit is this? The Earth Federation?"

Caught off guard, the ZAFT MS troops were stunned by the sudden onslaught of the M1 Heretic's second and third squads, and were unable to organize an effective resistance.

"Damn it! That's, that's Orb's battleship!! Damn it, Orb is really a liar!! What neutrality is, it's just a lie!"

Captain Xi Gu, who had persisted until now, finally recognized the origin of the Kusanagi and cursed angrily on the spot.

But, there is nothing we can do.

Under the coordinated suppression of two battleships, three M1 Heretic squads and the Mobius force, the ZAFT MS force that tried to break out and open a retreat for the fleet kept retreating and lost the chance to break out forever.

"The Kusanagi is getting serious!"

Chengying moved around and managed to hold back the second batch of Jinn's ZAFT MS troops, a total of more than 20 planes. At the same time, Mu Ye gritted his teeth and used the high maneuverability of the Strike Gundam's air backpack to hold back a Captain Xigu and its two wingmen.

"Major Mu, hold on a little longer! Once the Archangel and Kusanagi are dealt with, we'll come to support you."

He Ming took advantage of the opportunity when Chengying escaped the enemy's pursuit with high-speed maneuver and took a look at Mu's current situation.

Judging from his current performance, Mu should be able to hold on for a while. "Got it! Don't worry about me! Colonel, your situation is worse than mine! I'm only facing three mobile suits, but you're facing more than twenty!"

Hearing He Ming's concern, Mu should feel touched or powerless for a moment.

He Ming was able to hold back more than twenty MSs with just one "MA", and judging from the fact that He Ming still had the energy to care about him, it was obvious that He Ming had not yet taken any real action.

At least, the power of the machine named Chengying has not yet been fully demonstrated.

"What a terrible man!"

As Mu sighed secretly in his heart, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind. Then, as if possessed by a ghost, he controlled the Strike Gundam and raised the beam rifle in his hand, aiming at a target that originally did not exist. However, the next moment after firing the shot, he pierced Jin who suddenly appeared there.

"what?"

Mu was stunned for a moment, and then his body's danger instinct made him control the Strike Gundam again and perform an urgent backflip. He kicked Shigu, who was trying to backstab the Strike Gundam with a sword, away.

After this series of actions, Mu himself was a little confused.

Because this was not the action he wanted to do at all, but his body took the initiative to act, at a speed beyond his thinking, completing the actions of first shooting down Jin En and then kicking Xigu away.

"No! Focus! Now is not the time to be daydreaming."

The place where we are now is a battlefield!
Mu forced himself to regain consciousness and continue to fight.

The ZAFT Guard Squadron, whose plans for a breakout had been thwarted one after another, had no other choice.

They could only gather themselves together and break out towards the gravel belt.

Only there will their fleet have a chance to break through.

Unfortunately, the gravel belt was not their chance to break out.

It is the final step into the abyss.

This is a conspiracy.

Even if it is seen through, the only open choice is to make the same choice.

Deep in the rubble belt, after the congressmen and the Dark Arrow Force were transferred from the cargo hold temporarily added by Dendrobium to the Polaris through two transfer channels, the power of Dendrobium finally ushered in the moment of liberation.

"Captain. The Iron General Squad, Dynamis Gundam, is ready and can attack at any time!"

Sergei and Lockon, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately requested to go into battle.

"Okay! Remember this battle. Our goal is to annihilate the enemy fleet. We cannot let go of any battleship or mobile suit. This will delay the time it takes for ZAFT to learn about us as much as possible."

Feng Yun nodded and approved Sergei and Lockon's request to go into battle.

Then, Feng Yun looked at the main screen.

"Lieutenant Salamantini. Can you hold on?"

"No problem, Captain."

"Then I'll leave it to you from now on!"

"Understood! I won't let any ZAFT battleship or MS go!"

At the same time, the ZAFT Guard Squadron, which had finally broken into the rubble belt and was desperate to have its retreat cut off by the MA and MS forces led by the Archangel and the Kusanagi, suddenly discovered that the rubble belt, which seemed to offer hope of a breakout, was now "covered with spider webs."

At some point, a "spider web" appeared in the rubble belt, connecting the surrounding rubble with steel cables. It had caused the ZAFT alert squadron to slide into a futile struggle and destruction like a prey caught in a net.
