Gundam EXARE

"What? So I'm shooting at a fixed target? Are there any bonus points?"

Ray's response was a missile launched from the Duel Dagger missile bay and a beam fired from the Air-Mounted 105 Dagger rifle.

The distance is enough, and they are about to launch a counterattack.

Justice, which had previously taken advantage of its range advantage, retreated together with the three M1A Heretics. It turned around, and the Destiny 00's rotating turret adjusted the muzzle and fired backwards, shooting down the pursuing missiles.

"I had a great time, bye."

There was a blue glow in the explosion, and Justice really began to evacuate as Ray said. It completely ignored the port that was being bombarded and flew past Mendel and left.

With the force of justice, no one can stop it if it wants to leave unless it is surrounded.

Hit and run? It's not that easy!

But this scene felt familiar to Bakilulu in the Archangel. She recalled that Ray had played the same trick on Heliopolis.

One question is, did their bombing of the port really have any effect?

The moment Bakilulu realized something was wrong, Justice adjusted its direction and fired at Mendel's outer wall.

The Assaulting Flame God once easily penetrated the outer wall of Heliopolis, so how bad could the nuclear-powered sonic cannon of Justice be?

Justice drifted along with inertia, its two sonic cannons continuing to illuminate pulled together with its moving body, melting a crack in Mendel's outer wall.

At this moment, the M1A heretic troops rushing out of the gap raised their sniper rifles and fired at the enemy, and the mixed dagger troops chasing them suffered a heavy blow head-on.

Justice and three M1A Heretics rushed into Mendel towards the entrance they had burned.

Three warships were waiting for a long time in the sky above the abandoned city.

No one thought Mendel was absolutely safe, so Mendel Port had already been violently demolished once.

Is there someone bombarding the port from outside? No problem, just retreat to the interior of Mendel.

How do we get out? Didn't Justice demonstrate that? Wouldn't it be possible to just bombard Mendel with a hole in his mouth and get out?

The Earth Army doesn't care whether Mendel will disintegrate, but the Three Ship Alliance doesn't care either.

There are no innocent people who need protection inside the abandoned colony satellite. Compared with this dead satellite, the three-ship alliance, as living people, naturally give priority to themselves.

Ray's attack with Justice, Yashaqi and the other two was just a feint to attract the enemy. The tactics he used in Heliopolis were successful again.

The large force of M1A heretics waited for the opportunity inside Mendel, and the beam of light that Justice tore through the outer wall of Mendel was the signal they had been waiting for.

The mixed Dagger troops that came in pursuit were caught off guard. The M1A Heretic's sniper rifle with enhanced aiming capability accurately sent the beam to the cockpit of the 105 Dagger.

"Ok?"

The driver of the M1A Heretic discovered something unexpected: the sniper rifle's beam only burned the cockpit of the 105 Shortsword instead of completely penetrating it.

Because the cockpit of the 105 Gladiator uses laminated armor

This kind of armor has high temperature resistance and is the hull material of spacecraft. It can even withstand the high temperature of entering the atmosphere.

Not to mention the Duel Dagger and Storm Dagger with added external armor, the laminated armor specifically designed to withstand high temperatures demonstrates extremely high defensive capabilities.

The Justice Direct Nuclear Reactor's weaponry brutally surpasses the defensive power of the laminated armor with its high output, but this defensive power seems a bit tricky for the battery-powered M1A Heretic.

He was shot but survived.

The pilots' hearts, which had been beating so hard they seemed about to burst their chests, could finally relax. This new mass-produced MS indeed had performance commensurate with its cost.

The cockpit of the 105 Gladiator can withstand a direct hit from a normal beam, while heavily armored Gladiators like the Duel Gladiator and Storm Gladiator can even withstand two or three hits without any problem.

"Just a district"

The M1A Heretic's rifle is still a bit lacking in power, but the positron cannon is another matter.

The bright light on the screen instantly flooded the entire cockpit. The positron cannon fired from the interior of Mendel devoured its prey, and the elite mixed dagger troops were wiped out by the Archangel's bombardment.

Chapter 130 Three Parties

"20 machines"

A mixed force of 20 aircraft consisting of different daggers was completely wiped out in a very short time, and they were not even able to verify their performance in actual combat.

Because they were not shot down in MS battles, but were destroyed by the enemy's tactics.

Also destroyed were the excellent pilots who had transcended the deathmatch. They were more valuable than MS.

""

Bakilulu experienced what it felt like to be Rey's enemy. She knew that this tactic was definitely formulated by Rey. After all, it was exactly the same as the one in Heliopolis.

He is reliable as a comrade and terrible as an enemy.

What is the most terrible thing?

This side deliberately kept a distance in order to be on guard against justice and retain some combat power.

This distance is enough for the targets inside Mendel to escape. They just need to advance all the way inside Mendel and then blast a hole on the other side of Mendel.

As a subordinate, Baki Lulu had something she hadn't said yet, but now she really wanted to say it:

"Too cowardly."

The fact that they failed in the battle because they were afraid of a single mobile suit would make the Eurasian Federation and the East Asian Republic laugh out loud if this got out.

If the entire army had been deployed at the beginning, we wouldn't have ended up in the current predicament where we can't even catch up.

The communication came from the hangar:

"Captain, what's the situation now?"

Mu, who had been sitting inside the assault chamber for almost three minutes, felt very confused. What on earth did they want to do by attacking but not attacking?

The Earth Army's five warships rushed towards Mendel, but there was a high probability that they would not be able to catch up with the other party.

Now the Earth Army took the first move, but the Archangel had already prepared for the response and turned the tables.

Bakilulu's speculation was absolutely correct. At this moment, the three-ship alliance within Mendel wanted to cut a hole in the tail of Mendel and leave from there.

Unlike the Earth Army, their three warships have excellent sailing speed, and the time and distance gained by tactics are enough for them to get rid of the enemy.

There is no need to fight the Earth Army here. Not to mention that winning is useless. The Three Ship Alliance, which already has limited combat power, does not want to lose more manpower.

The M1A heretic forces have withdrawn to Mendel, and they and Justice are escorting the three-ship alliance.

Everything went smoothly, but Rei happened to detect the enemy hiding in the dark when even the radar could not find the enemy's position.

"It's him."

This wasn't the first time Rei had a connection with someone. He himself couldn't explain the exact reason behind this and the increased abilities he gained when he concentrated, but this connection only meant one thing.

"Be careful, there are ZAFT troops nearby, heading in the direction of——"

Rei turned his head following the sensation, but his sight could not penetrate Mendel's outer wall.

However, it was in this direction that a fleet consisting of one Nazca-class and two Lolaxia-class ships was hiding in the dark. They arrived here but did not attack rashly.

The ZAFT army originally planned to sit back and wait for the Eternity to come under attack, but they didn't expect the Earth army to intervene.

Well, there was actually someone who knew this would happen a long time ago, and this wasn’t the first time he had leaked information to the Earth Army.

Cruze frowned under his mask. He just felt someone's consciousness coming towards him with an aggressive tone.

Sometimes this ability can be quite troublesome.

People with similar abilities will sense each other, so an ambush is meaningless because he will sense you in advance.

While Cruze was thinking, his subordinates, unable to wait any longer, asked:

"Captain Cruze, what should we do?"

It was Isaac who was speaking. As soon as they returned to PLANT, they immediately received the mission to pursue the Eternal, so the former members of the Cruze team reunited.

Now the Earth Army is chasing the Eternal, and everyone is faced with a difficult choice:

If they keep silent, they can avoid conflict with the Earth Army, but it will be difficult to capture the Eternity next time.

Regardless of whether they try to intercept the Eternal or the Earth Army, the other party will reap the benefits.

When the three forces are confronting each other, no one wants to be the first to take action, but there are times when they have to take action.

"We'll go around to Mendel's rear and attack the Eternal from there with the Earth Army. The Earth Army's goal is to capture Justice and obtain the technology for the anti-neutron jammer. We can win by destroying Justice."

The more important thing is to kill the person sitting in Justice.

Cruze instinctively disliked the other party, and he couldn't explain where this emotion came from.

"The Earth Army is chasing them from behind, and we are blocking them from the front. The Eternal can also serve as a shield. If we miss this opportunity, there will be no next time."

Doing so can also give the Earth Army confidence. After all, if even the ZAFT Army is fighting so hard, doesn't it further prove the importance of Justice and Eternity?

Only in this way can Cruze realize his idea.

At this moment, the captain of the Nazca-class ship expressed his concerns:

"But the power of the Meteor system cannot be underestimated, and it is difficult to intercept it head-on."

Before, Justice activated the Meteor System and performed a single-machine operation to annihilate the enemy, but it was the ZAFT army that was severely damaged.

The high-speed MA rushed in front of you after pouring out a round of firepower. Isn't it easy for a large beam saber to smash a battleship?

Blocking is one thing, but trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm is another.

Cruze smiled calmly at his subordinates' concerns and said comfortingly:

"The Meteor System is not invincible. I will pilot the Warrior to intercept it."

How can the Warriors, who were defeated badly last time, intercept the Meteor System?

will win.

Because there are dragoons

The Warrior's combat data proved the feasibility of the Dragoon, so it added new Dragoon equipment as a test.

Cruze was very satisfied with the dragoons. This new weapon finally allowed his incredible abilities to be put to good use.

At this moment, an abandoned satellite has become a battlefield for the confrontation between three forces.

Inside Mendel, Justice held the two large handheld beam cannons in both hands. It was connected to the meteor system behind it, infusing it with the energy produced by the nuclear reactor.

Equipped with an IWSP backpack, Yanhong is ready to fight on the side of justice.

This Yanhong isn't the one Ray used to drive. After all, it's melted and deformed, so why bother repairing it? It might as well be rebuilt.

The one driving the red one is the former ZAFT ace pilot, Desert Tiger Bartfield.

"Can't we change the Crimson Strike into the Orange Strike?"

He had to admit that life was unpredictable. How come he had to be the one to launch the attack?

What else can we do? There is no driver better than him now. You can't ask you, the ace, to drive the M1A Heretic and let others drive the Yanhong.

And Baltfield asked another question:

"Your intuition should be reliable, right?"

Just now, Rei said that there are ZAFT troops waiting in the front.

No, there was no response on the radar at all. Where did the ZAFT army come from?

If Rey hadn't treated Bartfield cruelly before, he would have suspected that Rey had gone crazy.

Rey also knew that his unreliable statement was hard to believe, and he could only prove it with actual actions.

"I'll know soon. I'll go forward to meet the enemy. Don't let the artillery fire hit me."

After leaving a word, Rei attacked at full speed, and the large thrusters of the meteor system roared, bringing terrifying acceleration.

Outside Mendel, the Earth military fleet observed three ZAFT warships in an environment full of neutron interference. Before they could understand the situation, Mendel fired several beams from its tail, opening a huge crack and air gushed out from the inside.

More spots of light appeared, which were large numbers of missiles.

Then many green vertical lines were engraved. They were real beams of light that destroyed any missiles they touched.

The sixth sense flashed like lightning, and Mu felt it inside the attack.

"Kruze!"

It seemed as if I could hear someone talking to someone else.

"It's you again, could you please stop bothering me?"

As Ray spoke, he noticed four large dragoons swimming freely in the sea of ​​space.
