Great, we're doomed now!

Amidst the flames, the silver overlord burst forth with dazzling aurora, while the Demon God Legion followed, splitting into two groups to attack the super battleship and continue to pursue Ye Shou in slaughtering the Moon M·A. Just then, the legion's battleship finally broke into the battlefield and fired the [Dainsniff] at "An" at a distance of almost physical contact!

"Destroy the warship! Target: Lunar surface, Atlas crater!"

Chapter 182 The Day the Giants Were Shot

The vast cosmos transformed into a massive battlefield, where steel and fire intertwined, and beams of light from the heavens obscured the starlight.

The demon army dispersed, piercing into M·A's formation from different directions like sharp knives!

【Simonli】 takes the lead, and its heavy thrusters, second only to the King's machine, always allow it to be the first to engage the enemy. The wingmen following him are all heavily modified with increased thrust. While their long-distance raids and maneuverability cannot compare to 【Jiepai】, which can fly on irregular trajectories, their impact is second to none.

That brave and fearless figure is just like a knight in a fairy tale!

"Charge!"

With a roar, Birdwin pushed the control stick, and the conical lance in the machine's hand spun rapidly, charging toward Hasmon, which was trying to block its path, with a force that seemed to tear everything apart.

The M·A raised its six arms, its power claws spinning wildly, attempting to cut through the Gundam's frame and block the ferocious attack—

clang!

Sparks flew everywhere, but the spear was not deflected. Instead, it continued to apply pressure like a drill. The power claw was blocked by the thick armor on the shoulder. Both sides' nano-armor turned red rapidly in the fierce collision!

hum~

【Simonli】The thrusters on its entire body suddenly burst open, pushing the entire enemy aircraft backward until it was pinned to a floating metal plate, whether it was the wreckage of Eden or fragments of a warship, it was unclear.

"Launch—Break through!"

The spear pierced through the fuselage, its tip protruding forward like a "long nail," accurately striking Hasmon's head. Its charged muzzle instantly overloaded, and the explosion became the perfect backdrop for [Simonli].

"We got it! Success!" Birdwin exclaimed excitedly. "We're one step closer to that person!"

In another airspace not far away, the Vassak, serial number 003, was weaving through dozens of Bluemans with astonishing maneuverability.

Its pilot was the military police captain who attacked the convoy. After surrendering to Ye Shou, he realized how many wrong things he had done. Regret and pain made him a hermit. Among the many pilots, he was the most hardworking in training and had three Alaya consciousness terminals implanted in him!

This gives him an extremely high synchronization rate with the Gundam, enabling him to perform incredibly precise maneuvers. In order to kill enemies as much as possible, almost his entire body can be used for attack, resembling a demonic machine decorated with blades. However, at the same time, his armor value is also the lowest, constantly teetering on the edge of death.

clank!

Both arms are equipped with high-frequency vibrating blades, which kick up a piece of metal fragments with each swing.

A Blueman attempted to ambush from behind, but was struck in the head by a rapid spinning kick from [Vassak], followed by a vibrating blade piercing its chest like a venomous snake.

The wingman arrived and began to drive away Bruman. The freed [Vassak] bypassed the beam and charged towards a spider-type M·A!

On the other hand, [Gamaggi]'s fighting style is different from its peers. Compared to others, it does not have such outstanding heroic qualities, but its style is steady and tenacious.

"Clear the left wing." In the cockpit, the pilot's voice was calm, almost mechanical.

"There are two more Bluemans on the right flank, approaching you. Watch out for Hasmons behind them," a support personnel warning came through the communication channel.

Kahu Falk is the pilot most capable of coordinating with his legion, which may be related to his years of leading small units in guerrilla warfare in the field—his support units are naturally piloted by his old subordinates.

The teamwork of this unit was second to none in the entire legion, and Falk never strayed from his own group, but rather acted as a core to combine these forces and exert their power as a whole.

Although he himself was unaware of it, Ye Shou discovered his talent:

[Alaya Consciousness] Develops the mental power of the pilots. Each person has a different development direction. Falk is the type who is very easy to empathize with others. When commanding battles, he will have a synergistic effect with the friendly forces around him, and the cooperation will be more tacit.

In addition, Birdwin can inspire courage in his subordinates, and Kuzan has a strange sixth sense that allows him to foresee danger... all of which are in their infancy, but have indeed shown their effectiveness.

boom!

"Target wounded! Target is attempting to disengage!"

Falk frowned: "We can't let it return to the moon, or it will quickly regain its fighting strength!"

Just then, he suddenly felt something, as if a flash of lightning had struck his mind.

"Agunica!"

"learn!"

[Agares] had already closed to within a kilometer. Without the slightest hesitation, Agnucca activated her back boosters to full power, her machine tracing a ghostly arc as she narrowly avoided the two beams of fire. The heavy battle axe in her hand gleamed with its sharp edge—

Clang!

M·A's left power claw was severed, and Agares turned around and thrust, driving the spike at the end of the axe handle deep into his head!

Meanwhile, [Baimon] was suppressing the M·A team, which was trying to approach the warship, with heavy firepower. Its shoulder-mounted twin electromagnetic cannons continuously spewed deadly beams, each shot accurately hitting the enemy aircraft's thrusters or weapon modules.

It is a long-range specialized mobile suit. Because most of its energy is allocated to the large-caliber electromagnetic cannon, its mobility is somewhat lacking. Its wingman has enhanced defensive armor and is one of the few mobile suits that carries a shield.

This Gundam pilot was an elite who fought alongside Ye Shou throughout the entire first Battle of Sydney. When the Gundam Corps was recruiting talent, he decisively left his original unit and joined without any promises, and his performance was outstanding.

A Nememia attempted a surprise attack from below, but was caught red-handed by mines already laid by the legion. Amidst the flames, the [Baimon] legion turned its guns and unleashed a volley that caused an even larger explosion.

"Attention, large aircraft approaching!" the warship behind us warned.

An unmodified Hammons rushed in from directly below. It had shut down all its power sources and was "floating" like wreckage. It only woke up when it sensed the presence of a Gundam frame nearby. By the time it was detected, it was already within 500 meters of the [Baimon]—which would only take a few seconds for the thrusters to accelerate.

clatter~

With its eight powerful claws fully extended, it pounced on [Baimon] like a predatory spider!

However, before it could get close, a thick, crimson beam suddenly shot from the side, and an anti-material sniper bullet accurately struck its waist—

It's Barbatos!

The long-range rifle in its hand was still slightly red.

"Watch out~" the black-haired pilot chuckled.

This is an Asian-looking driver who was originally an ace pilot from a Far Eastern island nation. However, after Tokyo was destroyed by the M·A, he moved to Southeast Asia with a large number of his expatriates and once considered joining the "coexistence faction".

Hearing that Sydney had successfully repelled M·A, he decisively abandoned his rural life in Southeast Asia, came to Sydney to prove his abilities, and then joined the legion.

In fact, there are quite a few Asian faces in the entire legion, from Gundam pilots to support aircraft pilots. Soldiers from East Asia have a strong desire to return home and their execution ability is higher than that of their peers.

Barbatos quickly switched weapons, drew his greatsword from his back, and charged toward another M·A that was trying to interfere with the warship's firing.

"Reinforcements from the lunar base have arrived!" An alarm suddenly sounded in the communications channel.

Ye Shouyi's mech was ultimately no match for so many enemies, and a dense cluster of lights appeared in the distance. More Hasmon, Nemamia, and even several heavy M·A machines never seen before—these killing machines bearing the name of angels—were hurtling towards them at full speed.

Fortunately, the Kabala warship "An" had already been severely damaged beforehand, so it was not caught in a pincer movement.

In fact, if the goal is simply to achieve a victory, then destroying "An" would already be an unprecedented and significant achievement.

If it were another commander, facing a more challenging lunar base, they would probably be satisfied with this and no longer risk asking for more.

However, Ye Shou's offensive will not falter in the slightest!

"Adjust formation! The Third and Sixth Units move towards the left flank of the Legion to prevent them from joining up with 'An'!"

"We've got this warship wrapped around our little finger; no amount of 'angels' can save it!"

Ye Shou's voice rang out in the channel, still as calm as ice.

【Bayeri】is currently trapped deep in enemy territory. The silver machine is being attacked by at least five M·A units simultaneously. However, it seems to have precognitive abilities and always manages to avoid the attacks with minimal movement at the most critical moment, and then destroys the enemy with a thunderous counterattack.

Those six swaying black ropes were not only a weapon, but also a special organ, as if they had independent thoughts. Each rope could make its own movements, making Ye Shou feel like he had six wingmen with him!

—In fact, they are indeed independent "living things".

A maid named Rurikawa Tsubaki, with the help of Yoru, amplified her Stand ability and successfully used it on the recovered M·A wreckage, extracting the killing experience from it to create a living spirit, which was then injected into the tail blade (Black Rope).

Ye Shou doesn't need to put in too much effort. He understands Ye Shou's mind perfectly. As long as a clear "command" flashes through his mind, Hei Suo can make the best action based on his own experience.

【Bayeli】now commands the Demon God Legion, and all its performance exceeds the theoretical limit. The speed of these six black ropes is also greater than before.

—It rules over both demons and angels!

Just as a Hammons attempting a sneak attack from behind raised its power claw, it was suddenly pierced through the cockpit by the tail blade of the [Bayeri] which turned around, and then the two swords crossed, tearing it completely in two.

"All troops, maintain pressure!" Ye Shou's voice rang out again. "[Agares], [Simonli], [Barbatos], we'll handle the lunar reinforcements!"

"Roger that!"

Forced entry into lunar orbit!

[Bayeli] suddenly accelerated, breaking out of the current combat airspace and flying straight towards the moon. Its speed was so great that it left a long ion trail behind it, like a meteor streaking across the darkness.

"Follow His Majesty!" Birdwin roared, perhaps too excited to think straight out of a chivalric romance novel, referring to Ye Shou as "Your Majesty" instead of his superior.

【Simonli】Struggling to shake off the enemy in front of him, he tried to catch up and provide cover.

But Ye Shou's voice stopped him: "Maintain formation! Your mission is to maintain the threat to the enemy and relieve the pressure on me!"

"Ok!"

No one questioned it, and no one hesitated. Birdwin gave up after one attempt to catch up with Ye Shou.

—That's strange, there shouldn't be such a big difference in the listed performance of the machines.

However, since it was "Kuze Yoshimori" riding on it, this seems easy to understand.

Because of Bayeri's extraordinary performance in actual combat, no pilot could catch up with him using Valkyries (including Maids), so he only had his own legion in theory, but in reality he would not take support units into battle.

Or rather, only the Gundam frame can support him; the Seventy-Two Demon Gods are his army!

The Demon God Legion is like a sophisticated machine, with each unit playing its maximum role in its own position.

Beams, live ammunition, and melee weapons—all sorts of human creations crisscrossed and flew through the universe, with explosions erupting one after another, turning this airspace into a furnace of death.

[Bayeri] led the demons in the charge of reinforcements, but he alone went deep into the fray. When he was still thousands of meters away from the moon, the force of gravity made it difficult for him to maintain his balance. However, his erratic movement actually helped him avoid many attacks—M·A was still affected.

The shoulder-mounted electromagnetic cannons began to roar, and the small Dynsnivs fired at an astonishing speed, each shot hitting the head or the inside of the muzzle of an M·A precisely, quickly emptying the magazine and leaving behind eleven brilliant sparks.

A heavy M·A attempted to withstand Ye Shou's surprise attack with its frontal armor, but was hit in the same spot by two golden longswords in succession. In the end, the armor broke, the reactor's thrusters went out of control, and the machine spun and crashed into its companions.

Ye Shou's eyes were sharp as knives, his hands moving swiftly across the levers and control panel, each command precise and efficient. [Bayeri], under his control, seemed to come alive, every dodge and attack flawless.

Suddenly, a huge beam of light shot from the direction of the moon, clearly the base's land-based artillery had finally locked onto him!

[Bayeri] made a sharp turn to dodge, the beam of light flew past the fuselage and hit an unfortunate Bruman in the distance, instantly blasting it to pieces!

"Live ammunition?" Ye Shou asked in surprise.

Then it occurred to me that the lunar base was originally built by humans, but was later taken over by M·A.

The turrets and defensive weapons here are naturally designed for warships and mobile suits, and do not conform to the underlying logic of M·A (mass casualties on humans) – after all, there are no human settlements on the moon.

In other words, what we'll be facing next is no longer lasers, but electromagnetic railguns capable of penetrating warship armor!

"Everyone be careful!"
