Gundam 00: Rise of China

Chapter 99 We are never fighting alone

Having been confined to Ceylon Island to guard their home base for so long, seeing Major Wang Ye leading Piris and Anura to conquer all sides...

Wei Meng, whose heart was also boiling with passion, was eager to show his skills on the battlefield.

This was to prove that he was Major Wang Ye's strongest deputy and the one who would always stand by Wang Ye's side.

However, Wei Meng, who was leading his men to meet Areluya head-on, did not act rashly.

Just like his piloting skills, which were devoid of any frills and as solid as a rock, Wei Meng, who was now watching the Archangel Gundam's path forward, was also frighteningly calm.

His Warrior-type mobile suit was positioned between the two squads, its single-eyed sensor flashing rapidly.

After some analysis, considering the still significant gap in performance between the two machines, Wei Meng had no intention of engaging Allelujah in a head-on confrontation.

As the tactical hub of this small battlefield, he was prepared to make good use of the traditional tactics and techniques of the People's Revolutionary Alliance.

"Seventh Squad, send two more planes with decoy barrage, now!"

With a comprehensive tactical plan in mind, Wei Meng began to command the battle, and as soon as he finished speaking, two Warrior-type MS suddenly rushed out from the flank of the formation.

He raised his hand and threw out the specially prepared smoke generator, which instantly sprayed out a large amount of high-heat bait and magnetic powder.

In today's battlefield where radar is interfered with by GN particles and microparticles, such methods are sufficient to obscure optical sensors and thermal sensors.

This allows them to conceal their own mobility and subsequent tactical maneuvers.

Sure enough, the radar screen of Allelujah Gundam, which was charging forward, immediately filled with static.

The detection methods of the Archangel Gundam were thus temporarily countered by seemingly primitive physical means, after losing the advantages brought by GN particle technology.

It all comes down to the quality of the drivers!

And this is precisely what the drivers of the People's Revolutionary Alliance had in abundance.

"Don't even think about it!"

Seeing this, Allelujah let out a low shout, and the thruster nozzles on the back of the Archangel Gundam instantly deflected.

Using the characteristics of GN particle technology, his machine changed direction at a right angle, defying the laws of physics, in an attempt to pass directly over the smoke.

Having trained at the super-soldier testing base, he could certainly distinguish which of the enemies in front of him was the most threatening.

Arelujah, who was changing direction, quickly searched for Wei Meng's figure. In his opinion, as long as he killed the person in the center who was in command, he would succeed.

Then the People's Revolutionary Alliance troops blocking my advance will surely be scattered by me.

However, just as the Archangel Gundam was about to burst out of the smoke zone and create an opportunity by spitting fire serpents with its GN Gun, it was about to...

Several thick beams of light shot out and precisely intercepted Alleluia's path of advance.

No, it can't be described as precise.

"Knock knock knock—!"

A violent explosion silently erupted in the vacuum, the shockwave causing the Archangel Gundam to shake violently.

The swaying Allelujah struggled to stabilize its machine, and, sweating profusely, saw more beams of light being fired, appearing in every possible location it could be.

In other words, no matter which path you choose to take, being hit by the Human Revolutionary Alliance's beam attack is inevitable!

"Innocent."

At this moment, Wei Meng's voice continued to ring out calmly on the channel, so calm it was infuriating.

"Eighth Squad, initiate the three-stage interception; the rest of the team, provide covering fire."

Only now is the truly terrifying aspect of the People's Revolutionary Alliance beginning to emerge.

When individual bravery cannot be demonstrated in the face of objective reality, the People's Revolutionary Alliance, which is open to advice and adaptable to changing circumstances, will not unilaterally and excessively pursue the confrontation of individual machine performance.

Using tactical applications to create spatial divisions and then concentrate forces to annihilate the enemy is an old tactic of the People's Revolutionary Alliance.

As soon as Allelujah stabilized his aircraft, before he could even adjust his angle, three Warrior-type mobile suits that had attacked from his left side came at him from both high and low positions.

Their beam rifles fired in a crossfire, blocking the Archangel Gundam's escape routes upwards, downwards, and backwards.

On the right, Wei Meng personally led the charge, forming a triangular assault formation with three mechs, wielding a giant thermal battle axe, and preparing to encircle and attack with the help of friendly fire.

"So annoying!"

Allelujah, filled with anxiety, narrowed his eyes, and the Archangel Gundam instantly entered its highest mobility mode.

With the secondary thrusters on the back of his machine fully engaged, he transformed into an orange lightning bolt, frantically weaving through the dense beam net of the Human Revolutionary Alliance.

Several close-quarters parries were executed, with the GN beam saber colliding with the Warrior-type thermal tomahawk and creating blinding sparks.

After a brilliant feint!

Allelujah, barely able to breathe, pretended to dodge to the left, but in the last millisecond, he used the characteristics of GN particle technology.

He forcefully twisted the machine to the right, briefly avoiding all intercepting fire, and pointed his GN submachine gun directly at the Warrior-type MS piloted by Wei Meng.

He continued to implement the tactics he had decided to use before the battle.

This strike will be fatal!

It will surely pave the way for his future.

"Now!"

Instead of retreating, Wei Meng, who was locked on, gave an order that surprised Alleluia.

Leading by example was one reason why Wei Meng led the assault, but wasn't using himself as bait another hidden reason?

"Number One, Number Two, ram!"

At the command, the two Warrior-type mobile suits that had been providing support from the sidelines unleashed their full-body thrusters and accelerated wildly, instantly crashing into the sides of the Archangel Gundam like two mad bulls.

"What?!"

Allelujah, who had raised his gun to aim, was shocked. Although the impact would not damage the Archangel Gundam, it completely disrupted his shooting rhythm and balance.

Just as his vision blurred from the impact, Wei Meng's Warrior-type MS moved.

Instead of shooting or slashing, Wei Meng actually used pure wrestling techniques in space.

Taking advantage of the moment Alleluia lost its balance, Wei Meng's Warrior Type accelerated and charged forward, overcoming the scattered, poorly aimed GN beams.

The Warrior-type MS's massive size provides it with exaggerated defense and allows it to unleash astonishing agility.

Its thick mechanical arm locked tightly around the wrist joint of the Archangel Gundam holding the gun, while its other hand gripped the waist armor of the machine.

"Cut it off!"

With a roar, Wei Meng increased the output of his machine, and the hydraulic system in the Warrior type waist emitted a hum of unbearable strain. He actually tried to throw the Gundam directly out!

Alleluia felt a sudden dizziness, and although he tried to resist Weimon's throw with the powerful thrust of the Archangel Gundam.

But after all that failed, Archangel Gundam was still thrown out by an over-the-shoulder throw.

Fortunately, this is space, and Allelujah is glad that he won't be seriously injured even if he's thrown out.

"Boom!"

Unexpectedly, two thermal battle axes were already waiting along the path in which the Archangel Gundam was thrown.

Then, under the combined force, the Archangel Gundam was cleaved in two, and Allelujah's painful howl was accompanied by the warning sound of damage to the machine.

I lingered in the cockpit of the Archangel Gundam for a long time.

Finally seeing the situation clearly, Alleluia realized that this was not a one-on-one duel. He was not facing a person, but a finely tuned machine, every part of which was turning to crush him.

Every seemingly reckless charge was backed by two or three pieces of firepower.

Every enemy he seemingly forced back was actually leading him into the center of an even denser network of fire.

Furthermore, Alleluia found that his space was getting smaller and smaller, like a flying insect that had crashed into a spider web.

No matter how fast he was, no matter how ingenious his attack, the net woven from steel, beams of light, and tactical coordination was tightening little by little.

It was so tight he couldn't breathe!

"Allelujah—"

Hallelujah's voice became incredibly sharp in his mind; he roared, wanting to live but not die.

If this continues, we will die.

Give me control!

Ignoring everything else, Alleluia simply stared at the approaching dark blue Warrior-type mobile suit on the screen. It was Wei Meng's machine, like a mobile iron prison.

He knew he was being dragged into the abyss, and this time, perhaps even that demon couldn't save them.

"Atonement?"

"Are they coming to claim our lives now for the sins we committed in the past?"

Alleluia, I'm tired. I'm thinking of giving up everything, leaving here, and going to hell to apologize to my former companions.

"Isn't it a bit too early to give up now?"

"Allelujah! We're comrades, pilots of the Celestial Being Gundam of the World Revolution!"

Just then, Wei Meng's machine suddenly began to maneuver to evade.

Meanwhile, several long-range sniper beams formed a barrier around Allelujah, providing him with a temporary respite.

Further away, the beam torrent of the Gundam Virtue began to surge, along with the flashing sword light of the Gundam Exia.
