Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 856 The final crisis!

Time goes back to Heming, when Salamantini and Embrio had their final battle.

After recovering a little, Lux originally wanted to support He Ming and Salamantini, but at the suggestion of the intelligent AI cube Anino, she changed her decision and turned to support the Alliance's First Fleet.

Judging from the battle situation on He Ming's side, even if Lacus joins, she will not be able to change the situation in a short time. Instead, Embrio may seize the opportunity and use Lacus, a pilot who is flying an MS in actual combat for the first time, as the weakness of He Ming's side and counterattack them.

Lux did not express any resentment about this.

Because, just now, she was like that.

Taking advantage of Aoi Ram Tao's obsession with the destiny plan and Lacus Clyne, she secretly led Aoi Ram Tao to let down his guard, which eventually revealed his flaws and was defeated by her, a rookie who was in her first actual combat.

Therefore, Lacus readily accepted Anino's suggestion and rushed to support the Alliance's First Fleet.

At this time, the situation of the Alliance's First Fleet was not very good.

"Team Iron General, what are you doing? Why haven't you broken through the enemy's blockade yet?!"

Feng Yun’s roar was heard from the bridge of the Polaris.

Similar words were heard on the bridges of the Kusanagi and Archangel.

Soon after the Alliance First Fleet changed its target to stop Junius III, it was stopped by the ZAFT Fleet.

At first, the Alliance's First Fleet, which had made preparedness plans, was not surprised.

But later, after news came from He Ming and others who entered Yakin Duwei that the ZAFT fleet that blocked the action of the Alliance's First Fleet had been invaded by the enemy's virus and lost control, the actions of the Alliance's First Fleet gradually became somewhat restrained.

If the two sides were in a state of hostility, the Alliance's First Fleet would naturally not care, and would even fight with high morale.

But after learning why the ZAFT fleet suddenly blocked them, most people seemed to have changed a little.

Captains Feng Yun, Malu, Natal Bakilulu and Chisaka all noticed this change, but they were unable to make up their minds to issue an order to kill anyone who obstructed the actions of the Alliance's First Fleet as an enemy.

After all, the person who could give such an order was still fighting with Embrio.

Standing on the deck of the Polaris, the Dynamis Gundam with a sniper rifle mounted continuously blew up the ZAFT MS that tried to stop the Iron General Squad's assault.

"Sergei, this can't go on. Can you give the order?"

Lockon was not like the captains like Feng Yun who were tied up in their hands, and was not concerned about the senators Yuri Amafi who were staying in Yakin Duwei.

"Lockon. I would like to, but I don't have the command of the fleet."

As the commander of the Iron General Squad, Sergei was also helpless.

The only thing he could do was to use himself as a sword and try his best to open a path to Junius 3 for the follow-up troops.

However, the number of out-of-control ZAFT fleets was so large that even Sergei discovered that among those out-of-control ZAFT warships and MS, there were a large number of damaged warships and MS.

These battleships and MS that were supposed to stay in the port and the hangar waiting for repairs were also caught up in the out-of-control storm and became an obstacle to the Alliance's First Fleet.

"boom!"

A thick beam of light passed by the left side of the Iron Generals Squadron, cutting off a charging Shigu in the middle. The Artillery Strike Gundam followed with the Iron Man 3 Squadron to which the Archangel belonged.

"Major Mu. How many people do you have?"

Seeing this, Sergei asked.

"That's all. The others were either too damaged and had to be detached urgently, or they lost contact." Major Mu shook his head and sighed.

From the time he chased Junius 3 to now, his Strike Gundam has undergone three backpack changes.

And now the artillery combat backpack is the last backpack that Archangel can provide for him to change into battlefield equipment.

If the energy in this backpack is used up, Mu and the Strike Gundam will have no choice but to return to the Archangel for rest.

This is a serious situation.

"Hold on a little longer. The general will be back for support soon!"

Sergei knew what Mu meant, but at the moment, he had no good solution.

"This is the only way. The heretic forces on the Kusanagi have also suffered losses. The situation is not optimistic!"

Mu nodded silently.

"Understood! Assist my team in breaking through the enemy's defense line."

"Yes!"

Coincidentally, when everyone was unable to break through the blockade of ZAFT's out-of-control fleet, a dense cluster of missiles suddenly appeared from above, falling on ZAFT's out-of-control fleet and MS like a rainstorm, setting off a series of explosions.

Above the dense flames of explosions, a huge phantom-like figure quickly emerged from the void and passed over the Alliance's First Fleet.

At the same time, Lux's voice was heard on the channel of the Alliance's First Fleet.

"Everyone! I'm so sorry! I'm late! Now, I have a request! I hope you can agree to it!"

In the cockpit of the Stamen Gundam, Lacus has taken off her helmet again and put on the headband she got from He Ming.

Lux was not familiar with this headband, but from what He Ming said, it seemed that it could help Lux's strength.

At the moment, the only way Lacus could think of to break the impasse was to use her own power to completely link the weapon systems of the battleships and MS of the Alliance's First Fleet, and paralyze the out-of-control ZAFT battleships and MS in an instant.

Feng Yun, who learned of the plan, looked at Lux in shock.

"Ms. Lacus, do you know what you are talking about? This is simply impossible! It is not possible for one person to operate just one Polaris. Not to mention the entire fleet of battleships and mobile suits."

"Please believe me, Captain! This is the only way to reduce casualties! Whether it's the First Fleet of the Alliance or ZAFT, I don't want to see more sacrifices when the war comes to an end."

Hearing this, Feng Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He had nothing to say.

Because on the other side of the screen, He Ming's smart AI cube Anino has already given a corresponding solution.

"Okay! If this fails, I will issue a final assault order. I'm so sorry! Ms. Lacus, we don't have much time!"

Lux nodded and said firmly.

"I understand! Then please! Everyone, and Anino."

"Understood! Headband activated! Mental connection, begin!"
