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

Chapter 205 The Great Revenge Has Been Avenged
After watching Kycilia board the Chibe-class, Char turned around and jumped onto a strange machine that looked unfinished. It was a machine that was larger than a normal mobile suit, but not yet at the size of an MA. It had two antennas with a high angle on the left and right sides of its head.

Although its monitor no longer appears to be a single eye like that of a traditional Zeon mobile suit, but rather two eyes similar to those of a Federation Gundam, the red dot on the camera that keeps jumping left and right after the mobile suit is activated still indicates its affiliation.

Next, there's the seemingly ordinary upper body, just like other mobile suits. However, this mobile suit lacks the additional armaments, only equipped with five-barreled wire-controlled MEGA particle cannons on both wrists, capable of attacking enemies from all directions. In addition, there are three MEGA particle cannons in the head and abdomen, giving it overwhelming firepower in battles against mobile suits.

However, from the waist down, this machine seems out of place because it has no legs. Yes, mobile weapons named after Zeon do not have legs. Of course, this is not a design problem, but rather because there was no time to assemble them. In fact, Zeon built more than one of this type of mobile suit, but none of them were completed. Only Char's machine can be barely operated; the other machines are still in skeletal form.

When Char boarded the machine, he couldn't help but make a comment.

"This thing doesn't have legs, it feels weird!"

"Colonel, legs are just decorations; those big shots wouldn't understand!"

The maintenance crew member who remained in the hangar said this.

Aren't you going to retreat?

"Our troops at the front are still fighting, and we must hold out until the very last moment!"

Char then saluted the diligent maintenance crew, as staying here was a very difficult decision. The Federation forces had begun a full-scale invasion of the fortress, and although Landrov was trying to mobilize troops to shrink the front line and prepare for a retreat, it was still unknown whether these maintenance crew members could escape.

Then, Char piloted the Zeon into the air, its thrusters shooting out intense light. Accompanying Char was the Chibe-class ship that Kycilia was in.

Several transport ships were originally supposed to leave with the Chibe-class ships, but Landrov considered that the transport ships' speed could not keep up with the Chibe-class ships and would slow down Kycilia, so he decided to let the other side leave first, so that the target would be smaller.

To this end, he also tried every means to mobilize dozens of mobile suits from the surrounding area to be stationed at the exit of Kycilia's flight path in advance to provide security.

Under the cover of these loyal mobile suits, Kycilia's ship also sailed out of the port unscathed.

However, for the rest of the journey, Kycilia will have to rely on Char!
Upon seeing the Chibe-class ship, a large number of Federation mobile suits and warships eagerly turned and gave chase, while Char, like a knight guarding a princess, piloted the Zeon to protect the enemy.

The roaring particle cannon barrage immediately flooded the Federation forces' vision. In an instant, several squads of GMs disappeared, and several more squads of GMs floated in space, battered and bruised.

"Damn it, that guy is too strong. Don't get close, use long-range firepower to take him down!"

Subsequently, various rockets and missiles released by the mobile suit units seemed to overwhelm Char, launching them at the enemy in a deluge. However, the Zeon's particle cannons also wove an inseparable net, and no firepower could break through this blockade; all of them were intercepted halfway by the particle cannons.

Meanwhile, the Salamis fleet that arrived later launched a saturation attack on the enemy, but the Zeon's powerful propulsion system propelled the machine at high speed, easily shaking off the particle cannon fire. On the contrary, Char's counterattack could not be evaded in time because the warship was a large enough target.

"Caspar!"

Kycilia stood on the rear observation deck of the Chibe-class ship, watching the burning Abaoa Kong. At this moment, she could hardly see the Zeon with the naked eye, but the dazzling beams of light that kept bursting out and the huge balls of light from the explosions all indicated the intensity of the battle.

Kycilia could even imagine what a fierce battle it must have been. Of course, it wasn't actually that fierce. Char knew he couldn't inflict too much damage on the Federation forces lest he alert someone. So, he unleashed a barrage of firepower from the start, forcing Federation troops to stay away. Therefore, the violent explosion was merely the result of a long-range exchange of fire between the two sides.

The Federation forces knew that victory was already assured and further sacrifices were pointless, so there were no reckless, desperate attacks. Both mobile suits and warships launched fire from a great distance.

So, although it looked like a lively fight, in reality, apart from the first wave of contact, neither side really caused any damage.

Meanwhile, the mobile suit unit led by Makarius continued its unstoppable advance into the upper levels of the Abaoa Sky Fortress.

At this moment, the Führer's guards blocking their way were almost wiped out, and during the assault, there were hardly any mobile suits to be seen. The Zeon forces were even forced to place ground equipment such as tanks and missile vehicles in the passage to block the Federation's attack. However, these vehicles were quickly destroyed by the Steel Tank units that cleared the way. The artillery detachments, led by the assault Steel Tanks, were like celebrating the New Year, firing at any Zeon target they saw. Even a Zeon machine gun bunker would be bombarded with heavy artillery first and then burned with flamethrowers.

Such brutal demolition tactics terrified the remaining Zeon troops. Knowing they could not escape, these Zeon troops, mainly in civilian and logistical roles, immediately chose to surrender.

There was no other way but to surrender. The Federation forces were too ruthless. Those steel tanks even liked to fire direct artillery at close range. The upper fortress was already defenseless and had little defensive firepower. Everyone had seen clearly the price of facing heavy artillery with a caliber of 200mm or more directly. Death was no longer a big deal; even leaving a whole corpse was a luxury. The steel tanks advancing in a row would even use their tracks to repeatedly crush the shattered targets after the shelling, and then they would be trampled again by the mobile warriors behind them.

Under such immense pressure, these junior clerks and ordinary officers had no choice but to surrender. Their commanders and senior leaders were powerless to interfere with their choices. In fact, after their road to the port was cut off by the Federation forces, many Zeon officers gathered with their female companions in the banquet hall atop the tower. After a simple field canned food meal, they drank poisoned wine and then committed mass suicide to accompany their country in death.

Where did Kycilia go?

After the Zeon surrendered, Makarius immediately ordered an interrogation of the whereabouts of the prisoner Kycilia. He was afraid that the young Char would be bewitched by the old woman and let her go, in which case he would have to immediately devise a plan to hunt her down.

The prisoners, trembling with fear, readily revealed everything they knew, quickly telling them where Kycilia had gone.

When Macarius learned that Char had escorted the other person away in the Zeon, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"Wow, that was a really powerful execution!"

"Sera, get on the white wooden horse, we're going out!"

"Amuro, the attack here is your responsibility. When I return, I want to see the battle group's flag planted atop the command tower!"

"understand!"

While Macarius and his men rode the white wooden horse in pursuit of Kycilia, Char finally shook off the Federation forces and escorted Kycilia's Chibe-class aircraft away from the Abaoa Space Zone.

"In a little while, we'll be able to return to Zeon's homeland!"

"You've worked hard, Char!"

Seeing the Zeon flying parallel to the warship, Kycilia expressed her gratitude without hesitation.

"You're welcome, Lady Kycilia. It's my pleasure!"

"It seems I made the right choice, Colonel Char. With your assistance, we will surely create a brand new future!"

"Really? But now, where can we go?"

"Although the Earth sphere is small, the universe is vast. Whether it's Mars, Jupiter, or Axis, there will always be a place for us to settle down. Then, we can quietly lie low and re-study the power of the new humans. When we master this power, we can launch a counterattack back to the Earth sphere. At that time, realizing your father's ideal will be just around the corner!"

"Is that so? It's a pity my father won't live to see that day!"

"But you carried on Deakin's legacy, didn't you?"

Char's laughter was Kycilia's response.

"Hahahahaha..."

“Inherit his will? You’re wrong, Lady Kycilia. I returned to Zeon under an assumed name not to inherit Deikun’s will, but to avenge his death!”

"Xia, you?"

Kycilia felt a sudden tightness in her chest. She immediately turned around to order the Chebe-class destroyers to attack the Zeon, but the Zeon moved even faster.

Under Char's control, Zeon's two arms suddenly extended and attacked the Chibe-class destroyer from above and below. Under such close-range attack, the Chibe-class was powerless to resist and its power system and turrets were destroyed by the first blow.

Then, the particle cannon extended to the Chebe-class hangar, piercing through the mobile suits still preparing to deploy, along with the hatches. Char was extremely familiar with Zeon's equipment, and his attack was swift and decisive, leaving the entire ship with no chance to retaliate.

Then, the Zeon turned around to face Kycilia in the cabin.

"Also, Lady Kycilia, Lala is not dead!"

After saying this, Char immediately pulled the trigger. The particle cannon at the bow of the Zeon immediately pierced through the location where Kycilia was. Then, the other cannons fired at the same time, just like countless heated knives piercing into the hull of the Chibe-class ship, blowing the entire ship to pieces.

After destroying the ship, Char waited in place. Then, a ball of light rose from the dark universe and kept approaching. When the light got closer, its full appearance was revealed to Char.

It was an unarmed Cator-class spaceship, and the captain was Larasin.

"Colonel?"

"Lala!"

The two looked at each other without saying anything more. Lala could already sense the emptiness in Xia's heart. The avenging of his great enemy did not bring him any joy, but rather an endless void.

Should we leave?

"No, wait a minute!"

Although Char didn't know what he was expecting, he always felt a voice calling to him.

And soon, he knew who was calling him!
Two figures of light rapidly approached from the darkness once again. When Lala saw the red Gundam appear in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a jolt of fear. However, she didn't sense any killing intent from the other party and even felt like she was watching a good show.

As for the other lightly equipped Jim, Lala felt extremely complex emotions, a mixture of resentment, joy, and sadness.

Then, the GM hatch opened, and a slender figure in a pilot's uniform jumped out without hesitation, leaping into space towards the Zeon.

Upon seeing the other's actions, Char, inside the Zeon, quickly detached from his mobile suit and flew towards the other, whereupon the two embraced.

"Artesia!"

"Brother Caspar!"

Upon hearing how the two addressed each other, Lala suddenly realized that this was the younger sister the colonel had been thinking about all along.
Did the Red Dragon bring it here?

"What, do I look like the kind of person who would kill someone's entire family over a mere disagreement?"

Macarius's Newtype abilities also allowed him to sense Lala's attention, and he responded in kind.

This must be what they call a new human chat room! Macarius thought to himself.

"Mr. Markarius, you're quite interesting too!"

"Definitely! It's more interesting than your golden retriever, right? How about working for the Federal Army? I can introduce you to a job with high pay and great benefits!"

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I've decided to follow in the Colonel's footsteps; wherever he goes, I will go!"

"Lala, you need to be assertive. A narrow-minded man like Xia will cause you a lot of trouble! Let me tell you, someone like him will definitely mess around with underage girls!"

"It's enough!"

Char was also at his wit's end. He was having a reunion with his younger sister when Makarius started slandering him on the other end. And what was he saying in the voice channel? Sera, who had just been crying her eyes out, couldn't help but laugh again.

"So, what are your plans for the future? You really won't consider my suggestion?"

"No, and the Federation wouldn't really want me to go back to Zeon!"

The atmosphere of reunion had been completely ruined, so they could only talk about serious matters. Char rejected Makarius's suggestion; he didn't want to, at least not now, return to Zeon.

"Brother Caspar?"

"Artesia, take care!"

Char hugged his sister again. Since they parted ways after leaving the Texas colony, they had never crossed paths again, so this reunion was all the more precious.

"Can't you just stay?"

"I'm sorry, Artesia, I promise I'll be back in a few years, and I'll never leave you again!"

Then, Char turned to look at Macarius.

"I'm entrusting my sister to you!"

"You told me to stay away from him!"

"This doesn't conflict, Lala, bring that over here!"

Then, Catol's hatch opened, and a tightly wrapped cube was pushed out.

"what is this?"

"I promised you!"

Upon closer inspection, Markarius was astonished to find five chests of gold bound together!

"You robbed the Zabi family's vault?"

Xia remained silent, only revealing a lavish smile.

"Okay, but that's not enough. I'm taking this thing with me too!"

Makarius pointed with his machine to the Zeon, which was now drifting aimlessly in space without a pilot.

"Consider this your sister's achievement. And Kycilia, Federation hero Theramas sank a Zeon warship and killed the enemy leader Kycilia. This deserves a medal of honor!"

"I……"

Xia was speechless, but he was mentally prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Lala to bring the boat over. Even so, he still wanted to say something.

"You're so shameless!"
