Gundam: From Piece to Player

Like a vicious curse, Kycilia, filled with regret for letting the other party utter their last words, pulled the trigger in extreme rage.

They blew up Gihren's head, which had an IQ of 240.

As Kiraen's body, freed from the constraints of gravity, floated into the air, a triumphant smile still lingering on his face.

Kycilia originally wanted to take over command... but she noticed that everyone in the command room instinctively reached for their pistols.

Damn it... I shouldn't have given Kirian the chance to say his last words.

Kycilia immediately left the command room.

She didn't notice that the loudspeaker Kilian wore while directing operations was always on.

As the recording laser from the command center spread to all levels, the Zeon forces in Abaowa, who were conducting defensive operations in the air, were thrown into chaos.

Having just lost three main fleets and anticipating defeat in the Battle of Abaoa, Tiam looked at the scene before him.

He felt he couldn't understand it.

"General, although I don't know why the Zeon army is in disarray, now is a good time to advance."

With a reminder from his advisor, Tiam regained his senses.

"Ah."

Immediately organize the remaining 2nd and 3rd fleets in Sector N to regroup their strength, while simultaneously deploying the 1st Fleet, which was in reserve, to begin the Abaoa air landing operation.

At that moment, a "giant of light" appeared in the sky above Abaoa.

—It's a colossal projection.

It was Casbar Rem Deiken, dressed in a red brigadier general's uniform, which made Tianm's face turn ashen.

What is Zeon up to?

Are they performing acrobatics?

This is the decisive battle that will determine the fate of the Earth Sphere.

Although no sound could be heard, the images flashed at Morse code frequencies, making it easy for CIC correspondents to decipher the speech.

"My brave Zeon soldiers, I believe you are all aware of the chaos that just occurred in the command post. But, sir, we cannot abandon Abaoakong. This is the last line of defense for our motherland. Although our motherland is powerful, we have nowhere left to retreat..."

Because it's in plain text, the Federation forces can see it just as the Zeon forces can see it.

"Focus fire on that warship that launched the giant projection."

Tiam immediately ordered the entire fleet to attack the signal source—a clear indication that the enemy was attempting to regroup.

He wanted to disrupt the transmitting device.

Under the intense firepower of the Federation fleet, the projection ship unsurprisingly exploded... it was actually launched using a disguised balloon.

However, the next moment, Char's second projection appeared, striking the same pose and repeating the same words.

Tiam launched another concentrated attack, again using warships disguised as balloons for projection.

But elsewhere, a third projection continued to appear.

No matter how many times you focus fire, it's all in vain... it's like you can't kill them no matter how hard you try.

The federal army's attack also came to a halt, as it seemed too bizarre.

And it's playing on a loop.

"The command post has now lost its command function. I, Casbal Rem Deikun, implore you all to fight with me. From now on, we will fight without a commander. Defense is useless; we can only attack and fight to the last moment!"

From the perspective of the Zeon fleet, it was as if the "giant" was standing on their side.

Of course, what strengthened their resolve even more was the red phantom who personally led the charge in the center of the battlefield, with five blue meteor-like trails following closely behind.

【ZICK ZEON!】

It was unclear which warship responded with flashing lights in Morse code, but the Zeon warships defending Sector S also responded in kind, like a silent battle cry.

【ZICK ZEON!】

【ZICK ZEON!】

Chapter 156 Taking up a knife...Zim City

In Area S, the already chaotic Zeon forces became even more chaotic... a new level of chaos emerged as the Zeon forces, who had been holed up in defense, began a full-scale counterattack.

The Federation forces, which were on the offensive, suffered heavy losses as a result.

Thanks to Kasbar's "reminder," they were finally able to abandon their defensive zone and launch attacks freely.

You mean Commander-in-Chief Killian? The one who used laser weapons to wipe out both his own forces and the enemy?

He has been killed by his own sister, and now there is no one in command at headquarters.

What's there to defend?

If the Federation forces want the fortress, then let them have it.

Fight the Federation forces head-on and see who survives first.

Compared to the eager combat troops mentioned earlier.

Several of the warships remained behind the battle line, clearly preserving their strength. The Zanzibar among them also received long-range communications.

"Colonel Sima, Brigadier General Char has a mission for you: get close to and eliminate the Supreme Commander's murderer, Kycilia, to avenge the Supreme Commander."

Of course, you can also choose to destroy the destroyer carrying Tiam (as previously revealed in the propaganda)... Afterwards, you will be given a city to govern, a city larger than Mahal.

Sima pondered for a few seconds before giving an answer to Doren, one of Char's earliest subordinates.

"I'm going to kill Kycilia."

For Sima, the former was significantly less difficult than the latter, both in terms of difficulty and mission safety.

Moreover, although the slogan "avenging Kirian" sounds unpleasant, it couldn't be more politically correct.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Char offered her two choices, hoping she would choose the former.

She can now disguise herself as a member of the assault force to protect Kycilia, and then wait for an opportunity to strike.

Anyone could see that Kycilia's political life was over... Now all she could do was put forward a representative and direct from behind the scenes.

Brigadier General Char Aznable clearly didn't want things to drag on, and Sima also needed to submit a "pledge of allegiance" to the Decken faction.

On the battleship Gwajin in Sector N (Char is in Sector S).

"Kycilia shot and killed Commander-in-Chief Kiran."

Delaz stood up in shock as he listened to the messenger's report.

"In addition... His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief left behind his last words."

"Go on."

"Yes, tell Lord Karma to help him take revenge."

Looking back, the memory of watching baseball games with General Manager Kilin comes to mind, and his voice and smile are still vivid in my mind.

The nation still needs your guidance... but fate has brought you down on the eve of victory.

Diraz's eyes welled up with tears, but he knew this was not the time for sorrow.

The question is, what should we do next?

Abawakkhu is no longer a safe haven.

The commander-in-chief's intention is to have His Excellency Karma take charge of the overall situation...

Indeed, Zeon now has only one person capable of turning the tide.

That was Lord Karma, who had never been defeated since the start of the war, had been invincible, and had defeated and killed the most Federation troops. Every time Delaz saw his battle reports, he felt as if his blood was boiling... He was like the embodiment of the Zeon spirit in the world.

Bad news followed one after another... The Dolores was sunk, and the friendly forces in Sector S were inexplicably out of control.

"Captain Cardo has returned to the ship and is requesting resupply so he can continue his mission."

"Stop him, I'm going to the hangar right now."

Thinking of Kado, Delaz immediately left the bridge.

In the S-sector airspace of the Abaoa air fortress, Char Aznable piloted a Mobile Zaku and used a beam rifle to shoot through a GM.

He then used the heat-infused blade to pierce the cockpit of the GM that was approaching from behind.

The federal army was not defeated by the counterattack he organized.

Despite the counterattack from the Zeon forces, the more concentrated and numerous Federation forces managed to stabilize the situation... Char pulled out his dagger and stabbed at the opponent, who, like a muscular man, took the blow without flinching... His body was pierced by the sharp weapon, bleeding profusely, but he still managed to "grip" the weapon with his muscles.

It looks incredibly foolish, but it did effectively block the movement of the weapon.

Why can't Char command battles? The simplest reason is that the Mobile Zaku doesn't have the ability to become the brain of the battlefield.

Such a command post requires special design, while his mobile Zaku is simply a killing machine.

Five minutes into the battle... he had already shot down 32 aircraft, while the GM forces continued to pour in to "die."

Not only must he bear external pressure, but he must also bear internal pressure, which is unavoidable... Lala told himself that the collar around his neck had at least four brainwave signal links... from the new humans under Kycilia's command.

But the other party didn't press the button, probably because of the terrible consequences of killing him.

When Char went out to charge, he also considered... if Kycilia killed Gihren and then killed him, the son of Deacon, the Federation could directly appoint her as a marshal... even Tiam would have to step aside.

He bet that Kycilia wouldn't dare press the detonation button, and he actually won.

"Brigadier General, our troops are nearing their limit."

Lala's voice echoed in my mind.

"clear."

Char understood that Lala meant that the Newtype forces were also nearing their limit, and further fighting might result in casualties. As for facing his powerful personal guard, he didn't want to take any risks at all.

His initiative to launch the attack was not actually aimed at defending Abawak.

Instead, he/she wanted to use the pretext of fighting together to persuade these comrades to do something big with him.

"Send the second backup video."

"Yes."
