Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 783 The trap is activated! (1/3)

"The enemy fleet has entered the designated position! The trap has been successfully activated!"

"We have detected signs of a drop in the enemy fleet's engine output. We suspect that the engine may have stalled!"

"Intercepted distress signal, jamming in progress!"

"We have discovered that the enemy MS forces that were engaged in combat with Chengying and the Strike Gundam are retreating. We presume they are rescuing the enemy ships that have fallen into a trap!"

The next second after the ZAFT alert squadron rushed into the gravel belt, reports about the battle situation continued to ring in Feng Yun's ears.

"The fish is finally in the net! Notify the Iron General Squad, the Dynamis Gundam, and the Dendrobium to immediately launch the attack as planned. Get rid of the enemy MS forces as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

At Feng Yun's command, the Iron General Squad, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately moved forward and, under the cover of the gravel belt, flew quickly towards the nearest ZAFT battleship.

The Dynamis Gundam rose rapidly, and only when it rose above the gravel belt did it slow down and raise the particle sniper rifle in its hand.

"This scene really reminds me of the time when I was training at Tianren!"

Lockon looked at the densely distributed gravel of various sizes below and couldn't help but sigh.

"Lockon! Hello! Lockon! Hello!"

And Harrow, who was sitting in the auxiliary slot, kept rolling his round body, urging Lockon to act according to the battle plan.

"Got it! Got it! No need to rush me! Hello."

The moment the sniper scope fell in front of him, Lockon's expression became serious and his voice became steady.

"Hello! Sniping begins!!"

"Sniper! Hello! Sniper! Hello!"

Above the rubble belt, the moment the sunlight rising from the back of the earth fell on the Dynamis Gundam, Lockon's eyes fixed and he pulled the trigger.

"Buzz!"

A particle beam flashed by and sank into the rubble belt, causing an explosion that instantly ignited the rubble belt.

"Hit! Hello! Hit! Hello!"

"make persistent efforts!"

As Lockon smiled confidently, the Dynamis Gundam kept moving the muzzle, firing precise and deadly sniper shots at the gravel belt.

This round of sniping is the signal to take action.

"Lockon, has it started yet?"

In the rubble belt, hiding behind a large piece of rubble, the Iron General's optical camera monitored the three Jin'ens who, under mutual cover, took the lead in attacking Sergei who was cutting the steel cable that trapped a Nazca battleship in several pieces of rubble and made it unable to move.

A black shadow flew out from behind the rubble without warning, and several beams of light followed from different directions, dealing a heavy blow to the three planes of Jin En's team before they had time to react.

"boom!!"

Jin En, who was cutting and had no defense at all, was blown to pieces on the spot.

Even though the two Jinn planes on alert wanted to protect their friendly forces, they were powerless.

Because Sergei and another Iron General took advantage of this opportunity, stepped forward and engaged in close combat with the two Jin Ens.

With faster maneuverability than the King and PS armor that can withstand live ammunition, Sergei and another Iron General wingman swung their beam swords effortlessly and cut the remaining two Kings in half with one sword.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The Nazca-class battleship, which was slow to react, fired a barrage of bullets the next second after the three Jins were blown up, trying to stop the Iron Generals from besieging it. However, after killing Jin, Sergei and his Iron Generals did not stop, but turned around and sank into the rubble again, continuing to hunt other MS that tried to rescue the trapped battleship.

Along the way, in the gravel belt, flashes of explosions could be heard from time to time.

That was the brilliance of the Dynames Gundam as it sniped at the ZAFT MS that had revealed its whereabouts.

At the same time, the Dendrobium driven by Salamantini completed its acceleration from under the gravel belt and flew towards the location of the Archangel and Kusanagi.

The moments when large and small pieces of gravel kept passing over the head of Dendrobium were faithfully fed back to the omnidirectional cockpit by the optical camera.

If one's mental quality was a little worse, he would probably be disturbed by the dense scene above his head, but Salamantini remained calm. Instead, she methodically mobilized the control program of the Dendrobium orchid and adjusted its attack mode to a level that was more comfortable for her.

"Target found!"

The densely packed scene above her head suddenly disappeared, and a target locked prompt appeared in front of Salamantini's eyes.

"GN particle cannon, maximum compression!"

"Micro missiles, search for targets, target, confirmed, locked."

"Activate missiles, unlock."

"Attack, start!!"

Since there is no direct assistance from the intelligent AI cube, Salamantini has to do a little more when driving the Dendrobium, but this does not hinder her attack.

As an all-round talent who combines technical and combat capabilities, Salamantini did not take these difficulties seriously.

The only thing that concerned her was whether she could eliminate the ZAFT MS unit that was fighting the Archangel and Kusanagi in the shortest possible time.

"boom!!"

Then, a bright light source rose from the edge of the rubble belt.

In the blink of an eye, the five MS squadrons composed of Shigu and Zeon, who were trying to gather together and fight against the Mobius forces in an attempt to break through the Mobius forces and create an opportunity to break out, were caught off guard and blown up by the beam of light that attacked from behind.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"···"

As five fireworks bloomed, the warring parties finally discovered the existence of the Dendrobium orchid.

"Report! Dendrobium has joined the battle as planned!"

After hearing the report from CIC and the "fireworks" on the screen, Malu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lieutenant Baki Lulu. Let's move on to the next step of the plan."

"Yes! Captain."

On the Kusanagi, Chisaka's tightly clenched right fist finally loosened a little.

As the only one of the two remaining battleships carrying a full number of MS, the Kusanagi was under much greater pressure than the Archangel.

Perhaps it was because the truth about Orb's participation in the war made the ZAFT MS pilots too angry.

After the second and third teams of heretics attacked, the pressure on the Kusanagi suddenly increased, and even the M1 heretic was severely damaged, and almost killed people.

Fortunately, at this time when the pressure was getting more severe, Dendrobium appeared.

"Notify all heretic teams to return to the rubble belt immediately after clearing out the ZAFT MS and carry out the task of clearing out the enemy ships!"
