Gundam 00: Rise of China

Chapter 100 The Ice-Breaking Battle of Four Gundams

Compared to the earliest assault, Allelujah's attack was more akin to a suicide attack, and the hurricane he unleashed finally reached this battlefield.

And it seems that it is about to slowly change the entire course of the war.

As the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and in the instant when its armor was blasted so hot by artillery fire, the still-sturdy optical sensors of the Exia Gundam were able to help it survive.

It clearly captured the distorted trajectory of the Archangel Gundam amidst a hail of bullets, even though Allelujah is usually aloof and difficult to get along with.

But at that moment, in that chaotic maneuver...

Or more accurately, he saw something while being beaten.

It was not an empty slogan of "eradicating war," but a pure will to "survive and seek answers."

This brute force, and the momentary obsession with gripping the GN sword to cleave through all the fog, inexplicably resonated with me, appearing remarkably similar in frequency!

"Allelujah—"

Her Adam's apple bobbed, and in an instant, the Exia Gundam, which had been curled up to withstand the bombardment, sprang up, and GN particle streams gushed out from the nozzles on her back.

We can't let down the Gundam that Ian strengthened for us; that Gundam, which carries our hopes, isn't meant to be beaten up in space!

In an instant, the gamble of Gundam's performance left a trail of emerald green afterimages in the starry sky.

Ignoring the beams of light crashing into his armor, and fully trusting the protection of his GN particle shield, he instead pulled his thrusters below the red line.

They crashed headlong into the ranks of the People's Revolutionary Alliance, which was trying to encircle them.

Regardless of whether this was a new trap set by the People's Revolutionary Alliance, all he wanted was to remain in this encirclement and suppression operation that ran as smoothly as a clockwork.

It's enough to stir up a little new ripple in your own way.

"Squads 3, 14, 15, and 16, provide ranged fire support and avoid close combat."

"Anura, take your men up there and pin this guy down."

Upon seeing this, Sergei, who was positioned further back as the commander-in-chief, immediately roared through the internal channel.

Having thoroughly studied the characteristics of the four Gundams from Celestial Being, he knew all too well the terror of Exia as a melee Gundam.

Although the previous attack by the mobile armor-type Gundam Exia, which also has MA characteristics, was blocked, if this Gundam Exia, which specializes in close-combat harassment, were to break in again...

This disrupted the rhythm of their own suppressive fire, allowing two clearly long-range support units further away to free up their forces.

The losses for our own family will be much greater.

Therefore, Sergei, who was entrusted with an important task by Wang Ye, immediately adjusted the tactics. The outermost nine Warrior-type MS of a unit were divided into three groups and scattered magnetic powder smoke bombs in a triangular pattern in an attempt to block the detection of enemy Gundam GN particles.

The eight mobile suits in the middle form a crossfire group, specifically designed to block all possible movement paths of the Gundam Exia, creating a continuous interception network with alternating beam fire every 0.5 seconds.

At the very back was Anura's team, consisting of four mobile suits forming an assault group, carrying thermal tomahawks, and keeping a close eye on the Exia Gundam's movements.

If the other person is suspended in mid-air for even half a second, Anura will immediately pounce on her and show that instant what love is.

But this pocket formation, which had been practiced thousands of times in the People's Revolutionary Alliance, ran into a sudden, reckless fighting style.

In a flash, the Exia Gundam, under her control, did not dodge the crossfire from the middle layer. Instead, she held the GN shield diagonally in front of her and used the curvature of the shield and the deflection properties of GN particle kinetic energy to reflect several beams toward the assault team led by Anura on the flank.

Perhaps it wasn't his intention at that moment, but if it was his instinct, it would be even more terrifying.

The result was that the two Warrior-type mobile suits that were preparing to pounce were caught off guard. The beams reflected back from their own units melted holes the size of bowls in their shoulder armor, and the mobile suits instantly went out of control, spinning and crashing into their comrades.

Seizing this fleeting opening, the GN longsword flashed with a blinding light, using the recoil from the beam reflected by the shield.

After a graceful mid-air spin, the blade of the Gundam Exia precisely sliced ​​into the waist joint of another Assault Team's Warrior-type mobile suit.

"Sizzle—!"

The GN Longsword instantly severed the E-carbon steel armor of the Warrior-type MS. The upper body of the MS had just slid off when the shockwave from the explosion became the booster for the next maneuver in an instant.

He didn't stop. Taking advantage of the explosion's cover, he made a sharp right-angle turn and swung out another GN Blade, instantly severing the arm of another Human Revolutionary Alliance Warrior-type aircraft that was trying to raise its gun to fire.

In a very short time, Anura's assault team was almost completely wiped out.

This also made Anura's eyes red.

"Well done! Keep it up, Shakespeare!"

"I'll provide you with sniper support!"

As the battle progressed, Lockon in the rear saw hope. While covering Alleluia's side, he also diverted a significant amount of firepower to help Setsuna.

You should know that he was just suppressed by the concentrated firepower of the Human Revolutionary Alliance and couldn't even lift his head. If it weren't for Allelujah and Setsuna, he would have been prepared to take up the knife himself!

Seeing that his team had achieved a great victory and gained momentum, Lockon did not rush to fire and expand his gains.

Instead, he devoted most of his attention to trying to see the big picture and grasp the situation of the battle.

For example, at this moment, two Warrior-type mobile suits from the Human Revolutionary Alliance have come after Allelujah, who has finally managed to catch his breath.

"Bang!"

Lockon made a decisive move, firing his first beam sniper shot, which accurately pierced one of the two mobile suits that had approached Allelujah, while the explosion's flames blocked the other mobile suit's view.

Lockon then flicked his finger across the trigger, and the second and third beam sniper shots were fired in quick succession!

Besides helping Alleluia defeat the Human Revolutionary Alliance who were launching a surprise attack, he also had the capacity to create space for Setsuna, who was fighting for his life, to maneuver.

This allows Setsuna to better utilize her melee capabilities, further disrupting the Human Revolutionary Alliance's fluid and relentless offensive.

"Damn humans, I am the executor of the Aeolia Project."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, seeing her comrades performing so well, Tieria, who always had a high opinion of herself, gritted her teeth.

The GN field of the Gundam Virtue, which was covered by more than 70% of the firepower of the Human Revolutionary Alliance, was now shaking so badly that it was almost shattered under the intense bombardment.

But even if GN's stance were to shatter at any moment, it wouldn't compare to the overwhelming sense of shame that was welling up inside him.

He clearly remembers Alleluia's betrayal, the smear that Tianzhu of the Human Revolutionary Alliance brought to the Celestial Being organization.

There's also the bias that Lockon and the other two show towards Alleluia.

But perhaps inspired by the fighting spirit of his comrades on the battlefield, when he suddenly saw a newly assembled Human Revolutionary Alliance MS unit rushing towards Lockon in an instant.

The next second, the Virtua Gundam spread its arms, and the large GN cannons on its hands and shoulders charged simultaneously, with a blazing white orb of light condensing at the muzzle.

Tieria unleashed a torrent of beams at the considerable number of the Human Revolutionary Alliance Ms unit!

"Boom—!"

A Warrior-type MS weighing several tons was swept away by the torrent, but this was not the end. How could Tieria's attack possibly stop there?

The torrent continues, and the assembled warrior-type mobile suits are being destroyed.

"Tieria?"

Of course, Lockon had mixed feelings upon witnessing this scene, including happiness and relief.

His response was Tieria's cold, hard data.

"The GN particle reserve is 41% remaining. I can't always see it precisely when I need it. Remember to speak in advance if you need fire support."

Although his tone was still impatient, the previous resistance was gone.

While the two were breaking the ice, Alleluia seemed to have finally caught his breath.

Looking at Wei Meng's dark blue Warrior-type logo on the sensor, even though Hallelujah was screaming in his head for him to go up and chop him down.

Allelujah, however, forcibly suppressed his impulse, and the tail components of the Archangel Gundam unfolded, making the mobile suit resemble an orange swimming fish.

The team-based offensive and defensive tactics that had never been shown between four Gundams were finally displayed in the hands of the four people who now resembled a team.

In an instant, the GN sword tore through all nearby obstacles, like a red-hot knife slicing into butter.

Lockon, positioned in the center, used his sniper rifle to eliminate all threatening firing positions, and occasionally also acted as a sweeper to take down snipers attacking his teammates.

Tieria was at the back, its heavy artillery shattering all large-scale cluster attacks, its GN Field acting as a mobile protective umbrella, and the Virtua Gundam as an indestructible fortress.

Finally, there's Allelujah. He transforms into a Ranger, using his high-speed mobility to disrupt the Human Revolutionary Alliance's command rhythm, and occasionally launching a surprise attack on the enemy.

In an instant, due to the increasingly tacit cooperation of these four people, the well-organized formation of the Human Revolutionary Alliance was even on the verge of being broken.

In this cosmic sky, beams of light crisscross, and bursts of fire erupt one after another.

Four Gundams and hundreds of deep blue Warrior-type mobile suits were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle, turning what was originally a one-sided hunt into a brutal war of attrition.

The losses of the People's Revolutionary Alliance are slowly increasing, but the encirclement has not been broken. Instead, it is like a flexible net that is tightening more and more.

Overall, the Human Revolutionary Alliance's mobile suits are still capable of fighting against Celestial Being's Gundams.

The performance gap between the two is no longer as vast as the distance between heaven and earth.

Not to mention, compared to the mass-produced mobile suits of the other two factions.

And at this point, everyone on the battlefield understood that this battle would drag on until the last man of the People's Revolutionary Alliance stepped onto the battlefield.

The difference between victory and defeat can be made in an instant.
