Why would I join the army if I can’t drive a Gundam!

Chapter 200 The Final Battle Against Abaoakun (Part 2)

"Yes, Commander! Please give the order!"

On the other end of the communication line, a short, stout Zeon officer instinctively stood at attention, awaiting Gihren's orders.

"Set attack coordinates, target: Federation fleet main force!"

Kilian looked at the Great Dejin moving on the electronic map, and then slowly gave the order.

It's a pity we couldn't take the Great Dejin with us, but you can still do something before you die!
Looking at the Great Dejin still moving, Kilian thought this with malice, while behind him, Kycilia suddenly had a bad feeling.

Kirian, what are you trying to do?
Hearing the orders given earlier and watching the Great Dekin still advancing, Kycilia's hand unconsciously reached for her waist, where she found a single-soldier laser gun that she had modified into a scepter.

At this moment, the Great Dejin was approaching Sector N. Looking at the countless wreckage in front of him, Prince Dejin in the flagship clenched his fist.

He wasn't stupid; he could naturally see that the large swathes of wreckage belonged to the Zeon forces. At that moment, large numbers of Zeon student soldiers were piloting various mobile suits in a near-suicidal charge, launching a counterattack against the Federation forces.

"We can't fight any more!"

Dejin suddenly stood up and looked at his guards.

"Get me connected to the communications network, I want to give a speech!"

Dejin was not there to boost morale, but to order the Abaoa air garrison to lay down their weapons and cease resistance. He had already reached an agreement with Rebil, and at this moment, Darcia was even gathering with his political staff to prepare to go to the moon to sign an agreement with the Federation.

In fact, what prompted Dekin to make his decision was Giren's actions. Before the Battle of Abaoa Fortress began, the beloved commander-in-chief of the Zeon people issued a new national service mobilization order to the Zeon mainland, and the age of the soldiers to be mobilized this time had been lowered to fifteen.

After Kilian left, Deakin, who rarely goes out, took a walk in the streets. Then, he saw large groups of teenagers boarding the Royal Guard's trucks under the reluctant gazes of their families. At that moment, he was horrified to realize that apart from himself, he could no longer see any young people aged twenty or older.

Soon, the Great Dejin used its privileges to access the Zeon army's communication network, and the Zeon soldiers who were still struggling to hold on immediately heard the voice of His Highness the Prince.

"Soldiers..."

Minutes before Dekind began his speech, on Zeon's mainland, on a satellite that had been converted into a semi-open design, hundreds of technicians were busy at their control panels.

"The power generation system is operating well!"

"Energy lines are functioning normally, charging is almost complete!"

"Attack coordinates confirmed!"

"No units of our forces are present within the firing range!"

After listening to the reports from the technicians, General Chapman, who was standing on the high platform, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Operator, fire when ready!"

"understand!"

A doctor in a white coat watched the number slowly rise on the screen, then wiped the cold sweat from his brow. Once the number reached 100%, he pressed the button in front of him without hesitation.

"Long live Zeon!"

At General Chapman's shout, the equipment in the entire control room immediately went into high-speed operation, and then the huge screen hanging high in the ceiling was filled with light.

If you were to stand at one end of the satellite right now, you would see that the interior of this semi-open colony satellite is filled with gleaming reflective mirrors. At this moment, light is constantly gathering in the mirrors, and the internal temperature of the entire satellite is rising rapidly. Once the light has gathered to a certain point, a powerful beam of light will shoot out from the satellite's port.

At that moment, Dejin had just connected to the communication.

"Soldiers..."

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling and powerful beam of light passed over the Great Dejin and then shone on the headquarters of the Federation's First Combined Assault Fleet in the distance.

"High-energy reaction detected!"

"The warship's armor is melting!"

"Help! Help! Our ship is on fire and has lost its ability to move!"

The armor of the Federation warships that were hit by the laser was instantly dissolved and vaporized, and the vulnerable mobile suits and auxiliary ships even exploded directly.

Admiral Green, aboard the flagship Fibe, was naturally within the beam's attack range. At that moment, he was shielding his face with his hand, staring in horror at the depths of the light. His adjutant tried to rush up and take Green away, but as soon as he took a step, the warship's armor was torn apart.

"Dejin, you bastard!"

Admiral Green only had time to grit his teeth and finish saying those words before he and the entire warship were vaporized completely.

The laser irradiation lasted for about ten seconds, but in those ten seconds, it completely wiped out the central part of the First Combined Attack Fleet. Almost 50 percent of the Federation's warships had disappeared. At the edge of the laser, countless warships were either ignited by the aftershocks or paralyzed by the high temperature.

Upon seeing the desolate state of the Federation fleet, which had lost most of its members, Kilian immediately pressed the button beside him, instantly granting him unauthorized communication access over Deakin.

"My loyal and brave Zeon soldiers!"

"The Earth Federation fleet, now half-destroyed, has vanished into space because of our satellite cannon. This glory is proof of Zeon's justice. The Earth Federation forces, struck by this decisive blow, are now nothing more than empty shells. I dare say that these weak groups will not be able to conquer the Abaoa Sky Fortress..."

Deakin, whose speech was interrupted by the satellite cannon's beam, was still in a daze. He never expected that Kilian would dare to do this. He had already decided to order the entire army to cease fighting, but the enemy suddenly opened fire. In particular, the immense power contained in that beam of light directly instilled fear in Deakin.

"This unfilial son, how dare he, how dare he..."

Deakin trembled all over. He didn't know how close the light was to him. It might have been a degree closer and killed him. If Gihren were in front of him, Deakin might have strangled him. But at this moment, he could only roar until Gihren took over his communications and started his speech. Then, Deakin shuddered and collapsed to the ground.

The guards nearby immediately rushed forward in terror.

"Doctor! Quick, call a doctor!"

"Sir, our troops are under attack from satellite artillery!"

In the command center on Golden Rice Island, before the secretary could finish speaking, Rebil, who had already seen the fleeting beam of light appear in the depths of space, took a deep breath.

"Immediately assess our casualties. Deploy the reserve fleet to support the First Combined Fleet. Instruct the frontline commanders to take over fleet command in the predetermined order. I want to resume the attack on the fortress as quickly as possible. Also, order Tiam to retaliate immediately!"

Meanwhile, in the pitch-black space in front of the Abaoa Sky Fortress, the Federation Army's Archimedes Mirror had also been deployed. Hundreds of thousands of huge reflecting lenses were neatly arranged, like a giant mirror, shining brightly in the dark universe.

"Sir, the First Combined Fleet has been hit by direct fire from satellite artillery. Commander Green has been killed in action. Commander Reib has ordered us to retaliate immediately!"

"Has the location of the Zeon satellite cannon been confirmed?"

When Tianm saw the casualty report that was sent over, his heart clenched. The soldiers who had died were his comrades-in-arms, how could he not feel heartbroken?

Then, suppressing his anger, he looked toward the bridge of the Titan, where a dozen or so staff officers were busily working on electronic maps.

"Sir, we have confirmed the location of the satellite cannon!"

A staff officer turned around, drenched in sweat, still holding a data board in his hand.

"Set attack coordinates, target, Zeon satellite cannon, fire when ready!"

Then, just like the operation of Zeon's satellite cannon, the hundreds of thousands of mirror devices neatly arranged in space began to light up slowly. After what seemed like a long time, but in fact only a few minutes, after accumulating energy, another magnificent light appeared on the battlefield.

"Kihren, you bastard!"

This was the first thing Dekin said after the doctor arrived quickly, performed first aid, and revived him. He grabbed the doctor's collar tightly with trembling hands and spoke incoherently.

"Grab him! Grab him right now!"

"Your Highness, please calm down! We will carry out your orders immediately!"

Seeing that Dejin was about to have another seizure, the doctor could only offer this words of comfort.

Only after the doctor's repeated instructions did Dejin calm down. Then, several attendants carried Dejin out of the room and took him to the infirmary.

But just as they were struggling to lift the stretcher, suddenly, Dejin saw another ray of light appear before his eyes.

"what is that?"

The next second, the Great Dekin was mercilessly swallowed by the beam of light, and almost at the same time, a thick laser beam was focused from the Archimedes Mirror onto the Zeon satellite cannon, which had just finished firing and was undergoing emergency repairs in preparation for a second launch.

The colony's sturdy outer shell was pierced after a short while by the high-energy laser. Then, the laser beam shot into the interior of the satellite, and the mirrors that had just cooled down quickly shattered upon contact with the laser. The Zeon technicians who were working around the mirrors were also ignited almost simultaneously.

General Chapman's face was still beaming with the joy of the brilliant victory he had just achieved when, in the next second, his expression turned to terror.

Because of the Federation's laser irradiation, the entire satellite had begun to disintegrate, and its fragile internal components were instantly vaporized. Although the launch control room where he was located was not directly attacked, it was still emitting thick smoke due to the ruptured pipelines.

The Union Army's illumination lasted longer, nearly ten seconds. After the illumination ended, General Chapman rushed to the control room above him. Then, through the porthole, he saw a scene that nearly drove him to despair.

The front section of the satellite cannon was shattered into pieces, like a bamboo tube that had burst open. Inside, almost two-thirds of the reflector was broken, and countless fragments were floating in a state of weightlessness.

"It's over, it's over!"

Although Chapman didn't understand technology, he knew perfectly well that the satellite cannon was in such a terrible state that it could no longer be fired!
"not good!"

In Abaoa's command tower, Kilian still wore a bright smile. He was very satisfied with his speech, which greatly boosted morale and even allowed the Zeon army to launch a counterattack on some local battlefields, as the Federation's offensive forces were thrown into chaos by the annihilation of their rear troops.

But his smile lasted only a few minutes before it was interrupted by a beam of light shot from the direction of the Federal Army.

He was taken aback when he realized that the Federation also possessed similar weapons, but then he instantly understood that the Federation forces were firing at his satellite cannon!
At that moment, Kihren's expression twisted instantly, every muscle in his face lost control, and in his shock, he was unable to make any corresponding expression, only able to tense everything up.

His teeth were clenched tightly together, and his eyes were filled with pain, regret, despair, and sorrow.

Then Chapman called, and when Kiran picked up the receiver with trembling hands, the news he heard completely shattered his hopes.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the satellite cannon is severely damaged and can no longer be operated!"

"Immediate emergency repairs required!"

"We are working hard, but the damaged area is large and the damage is very serious. The satellite cannon can't even be charged!"

Chapman was almost in tears. They had made preparations for unforeseen circumstances, including preparing a number of extra reflective lenses to replace damaged parts. However, these were only preparations for normal situations. At this moment, nearly a third of the front section of the satellite cannon had disappeared, and the number of damaged lenses was far more than tens of thousands. There simply weren't enough replacement parts. Not to mention, the personnel responsible for operating the satellite cannon and the surrounding auxiliary ships had suffered heavy losses under the Federation's counterattack.

Kilian immediately dropped the communication and remained silent, while behind him, Kycilia couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Is this your plan, Gihren? That's quite unexpected!

At that moment, Kycilia suddenly felt like laughing, but she quickly stopped laughing!
Because Colonel Tovanin, the deputy commander of the fortress garrison, quietly came to her side.

"Lady Kycilia, the signal from the Great Dekin has disappeared. The enemy was in the path of the Federation's laser cannon!"

"Killian!"

Kycilia's eyes widened immediately, her eyeballs quickly becoming bloodshot and turning red, and an intense killing intent filled her heart.

"So, what's our next step, Commander-in-Chief?"

Kycilia then asked rather stiffly.
