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

Chapter 253: Lifting the Seal
The Federation forces were clearly somewhat flustered by the sudden enemy attack, especially after seeing the Spartan, their flagship, repeatedly hit by missiles on its port side, even suffering visible damage to the cantilever.

"Quickly, get into battle position!"

The Federal Army guards at the forward base were rushing to their battle positions under the command of their commander, while non-combat personnel at the base were evacuating in the opposite direction.

At that moment, accompanied by heavy footsteps and the crackling of falling trees, more than a dozen mobile suits, though shabby in appearance, but fully armed, rushed out of the rainforest.

In the center of the line was yet another psycho-Zaku whose armor wasn't even fully installed.

"PhD!"

"Lei Fan Hu?"

When the psycho-Zaku appeared on the horizon, Lieutenant Commander Monica on the Spartan immediately sensed it. Ignoring the tilt caused by the reduced power output of the warship due to the damaged port side, she staggered to the porthole and looked at the machine that was approaching the Spartan.

Lei Fanhu, her favorite student in the past, is inside at this moment.

"What's the status of the warships?"

Despite the pain in his back from the explosion, Jamitov ignored his flying military cap and looked at Vincent beside him.

"Power compartment, is power distribution not yet complete?"

"Sir, the port side is severely damaged, and the power lines have been destroyed. We'll need some more time!"

"Damn it, close-in weapon system, what are you doing? The port side barrage is too thin!"

Vincent slammed his hand on the armrest and shouted that they had all seen the approaching enemy. The ground guard forces had already begun to intercept them, and the Spartan was also using its available weapon stations to suppress the enemy's position with firepower. However, judging from the way those mobile suits moved, it was clear that these pilots were not newcomers.

"Damn bald guy!"

"Don't panic, Captain Pike, where is the Colonel?"

"Sir, Colonel Klinney is retreating and is expected to arrive in two minutes!"

"Two minutes, then we just need to endure these two minutes!"

Jamitov nodded.

However, these two minutes were clearly not easy to endure, because the Federation guards seemed to have lost their souls, and their machines were making strange noises. Even the pilots were letting out painful screams on the channel.

"Damn it, that guy's in my head!"

Lei Fanhu used his extraordinary new human abilities to forcibly invade the brains of some guard pilots. Although he didn't directly brainwash them, he greatly interfered with their normal operations, to the point that their shooting became inaccurate and they couldn't even perform normal operations.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the mobile fighters of the Nanyang Alliance launched a ruthless attack, with thermal swords and axes and 120mm machine guns instantly overwhelming the front-line guards.

At this moment, less than thirty seconds have passed!

"Charge, brothers! I can't wait to hear the cries of the Federation forces!"

In the cockpit of a Zani, a pilot who, despite having undergone ordination, did not resemble a monk at all, immediately raised his rocket launcher and pulled the trigger at a firing point on the perimeter of the Federation Army's forward base that was firing at him. A rocket then whistled out, blowing the infantryman operating the Queen Missile in that firing point, along with the launcher, into the air.

After the first batch of emergency guards were wiped out, there was little mobile force left at the Federation base. Although patrols from other areas were rushing to the scene, at this moment, all that could stop the advance of the mobile warriors were the Federation infantry.

"Attention to our mission, Sen Kong!"

As the Zani was about to change direction and attack the Federation base, a rather inexperienced young pilot in a Tiger following the Psycho Zaku reprimanded it with dissatisfaction.

"It's alright, Zhou Ming!"

"Sengzheng?"

"Sending them to attack the federal army base will buy us time!"

"But, doesn't that look like a hospital?"

The pilot, Zhou Ming, then spoke.

Lei Fanhu remained silent for a few seconds before answering.

"Everything is fate!"

"Sengzheng?"

Zhou Ming suddenly felt that Lei Fanhu in front of him was different from usual, but he quickly felt ashamed because of his own thoughts. As for the Federal Army's field hospital, he could only pretend that he didn't see it!

Seeing the approaching mobile suits, Sera shoved the medics and wounded soldiers around her into the bunker and was about to close the blast door when she suddenly saw two medics struggling to support a wounded Federation soldier not far away. The soldier was covered in blood and unresponsive, clearly having gone into shock.

Without the slightest hesitation, Sera immediately jumped out of her cover and ran towards the enemy, ignoring even the shouts of her allies behind her. Explosions erupted all around them, and Sera could even hear the shrapnel flying past her, feel the scorching heat, and feel the dust kicked up by the shockwave.

"How is he doing?"

"A penetrating wound with excessive blood loss. We've provided emergency treatment, but emergency surgery is still needed!"

"Send first..."

Before Sera could finish speaking, another violent explosion erupted around them. A medic groaned, and when Sera looked down, she saw that the abdomen of his uniform was still stained red.

"It's alright, I can manage. Let's get him there first!"

The injured female medic said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, get ready. I'll go on the count of three!"

As soon as Sera finished speaking, she saw a burning jeep fly overhead, which had been mistaken for a soccer ball by the Nanyang Alliance's mobile suits.

Then, while they were still on flat ground with no cover, they were clearly seen by the pilots of the Nanyang Alliance from a high vantage point.

"Three federal girls, what a pity!"

As he said this, he and his comrades raised their weapons. Sera saw the mobile suit's movements and immediately spread her arms, protecting the others like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and then closed her eyes tightly.

“Brother, Kliny…”

Then came a deafening roar. Sera, who had been waiting with her eyes closed for the final moment, turned around and covered her mouth in surprise.

Despite her best efforts to control her emotions, tears still welled up in her eyes.

“Krinni?” Sera said, her voice trembling. Just a dozen meters in front of her, a crimson Gundam was kneeling on the ground with its arms outstretched in a protective stance. Thick black smoke was still rising from the Gundam’s armor, and the Gundam itself was motionless, as if it had suffered a severe blow.

"You charlatan! So what if he's got a Gundam? We still took him down!"

"You're right, aren't you, Gore?"

Zaniri, who fired the first shot, was still showing off to his comrades with a smile, and his teammates were also smiling, except for one machine that remained silent.

"Gore, what are you doing? I'm talking to you!"

His companion turned to the monitor and saw that a beam spear, still in operation, was stuck in the chest of the motionless mobile suit.

"Goll? Goll got killed by that thing!"

"how is this possible?"

While the pilots couldn't believe it, the Gundam, which everyone thought was severely damaged, suddenly made a move.

"Sorry, the taxi was too slow, I'm a little late!"

Then, Sera heard Macarius's powerful voice coming from the Gundam's external speaker.

Then, to the astonishment of the Southeast Asian pilots, the armor on the Gundam, which had been torn to shreds by their concentrated fire, suddenly began to fall off with a series of banging sounds, revealing the pristine armor beneath!
"Now, let us enumerate your sins!"

After removing the heavy Chobham armor, NT1, now back in its original form, drew its two beam sabers.

"Sera, get them hidden!"

As soon as Macarius finished speaking, the dragon, which was operating the Dede flight pedal in the sky, launched all its missiles at the enemy in front of Macarius.

Machine guns and several missiles swept across the entire enemy formation in an instant. Although it was not enough to wipe out the enemy, it could throw them into a moment of chaos, and that was enough!
Without the constraints of the Chobham armor, the NT1's already terrifying burst speed reached an even higher level. In the blink of an eye, the pilots of the Nanyang Alliance saw the NT1 rushing towards them.

The beam saber, flashing with pink light, streaked past them like a ghost, instantly cleaving through the 120mm machine gun in Zani's hand at the very front.

Then, the pilots of the Nanyang aircraft saw a huge black shadow slam down towards them.

NT1 activated its jet propulsion, propelling the machine into the air. Then, using Zani, whose weapon he had cleaved, as a stepping stone, Markarius stomped down, crushing his head and even flattening part of his chest.

Then, the two beam sabers slashed down in a cross shape, cleanly cutting an X-shaped wound into one of the Zanis. After landing, Macarius immediately activated the jet thruster, making the machine spin like a top. Then, the beam saber in his right hand stabbed into the chest of the third Zani.

At that moment, the fourth Zani rushed towards him, but his weapon missed its mark. NT1, like a martial arts master in a movie, dodged to the side. Then, Markarius gently pushed the left control stick, and NT1's left hand gripped the beam saber and pushed it past the opponent's armpit.

The fourth vehicle, Zani, then staggered a few steps before collapsing to its knees with a thud. There was a very obvious knife wound on its left side, from its armpit to the cockpit.

After taking down the three enemy units in less than twenty seconds, Macarius turned back behind the first Zani, and his two beam sabers crossed and pierced through the enemy's body once again.

At this moment, Sera was still standing there, looking at the majestic red dragon.

"Let's talk later!"

Marcarius glanced at Sera, whose eyes still held tears, then spurred his machine to run quickly. Soon after, the flight platform piloted by the dragon roared over and picked Marcarius up again.

"Dragon, check if the ejection system in Dede's cockpit is still usable!"

"Okay, what do you need me to do?"

"Just aim the flight path at those two mechs!"

"understand!"

Long Hexi then climbed up, first throwing Macarius onto the deck of the Sparta, blocking the way for Revanhu, who had just climbed aboard the Sparta.

"Excuse me, bald guy, you keep brainwashing people into thinking that the days of heaven on earth are coming to an end!"

Despite having only two beam sabers, NT1's imposing presence still made Lei Fanhu and Zhou Ming beside him break out in a few sweats.

“Amitabha, Your Excellency Klini…”

"Stop yelling, you stupid dog! You really think you're something special? If you don't have a mouth, just be a mute. What kind of spiritual communication are you talking about? Are you throwing a party and having brainwashing?"

Marcarius immediately kicked Revan Hu out of his mind again. He wouldn't develop or even copy a mere Newtype ability, would he?

"You ungrateful wretch, Abbot, I'll deal with him!"

The tiger guarding the mental Zaku was about to step forward when the flying platform that the dragon was piloting also flew over shakily.

"Ok?"

Lei Fanhu glanced at the pedal but found no one on it. He didn't understand what the thing was going to do when it flew over there until he saw Makarius's head cannon flash, and then he realized what was going on.

"Zhou Ming, be careful..."

Before Revanhu could finish his mental dialogue, the platform that flew above their heads was detonated by Markarius's head cannon. The explosion shook the Spartan again, and flying shrapnel pelted the warship's armor.

Captain Parker, who witnessed all of this, dared not speak out in anger. He could only hope that he would never have the day when Makarius boarded the ship again.

But the explosion of the fuel-filled flight pedal did indeed catch Lei Fanhu and Zhou Ming off guard.

At the moment of the explosion, NT1 surged forward again. Then, Markarius unleashed the Markarius Flying Kick, a move he hadn't used in a long time. Revan Hu instinctively steered his machine backward, and then he realized he had been tricked!

Upon landing, Markarius slid to the side, and his beam saber cleanly severed Zhou Ming's left arm, even destroying the hovering components behind the tiger.

Then, NT1 stepped forward and elbowed Zhou Ming's tiger off the spaceship.

"Get off my ship!"

Without the components, Zhou Ming had no way to control the Tiger's hovering. He could only scream as he watched his mech fall from a height of tens of meters. At this height, he could still salvage the situation using jet propulsion, but on the ground, the Federal Army's follow-up forces had already arrived. As soon as Zhou Ming landed, he saw more than a dozen mechs brandishing their weapons at him.

"For the sake of Monk Lei Fan Hu!"

Hearing the farewell voice from his last subordinate, Lei Fanhu couldn't help but move his lips. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

"Now, let's have a one-on-one match!"

Macarius twisted his neck, then pulled his arm, raised his beam saber, and aimed it at Revanhu.
