Gundam EXARE

Cruze, who was clinging to the Archangel like a python, stepped on the pedals hard, increasing the speed of the machine to the limit. This action was obviously an attempt to escape.

"Aslan, you did well to retreat."

Cruze was very satisfied with Aslan's response because the Holy Shield was ready to retreat at any time.

Take a closer look. In addition to the two MSs, there is also a battleship. The Assault-Type Xigu and the Aegis alone cannot take it down.

Instead of engaging in a skirmish here with a low chance of winning, it is better to bring the intelligence back and share it with your comrades.

Wouldn't it be better to chase from behind and block from the front, attacking from both sides?

This was the judgment Cruze made in a short time. Aslan thought the same thing. He saw that after the Holy Shield swayed left and right to get rid of the lock, its body quickly deformed and fled in a weird posture.

An overly decisive choice makes people feel tricky. When Rey saw the Holy Shield, he guessed that the enemy commander was the one he had fought with before, and now the opponent's withdrawal has further proved this point.

If we are not radical and do not seek credit, then if the enemy is capable, won’t we be in trouble?

The Golden Heretic is indeed better than the 5G in terms of posture control, but in terms of straight-line thrust, they are really about the same.

Compared with Duel Storm Thunder, it's still okay. Now, let alone catching up with the Holy Shield that transformed into MA and entered cruise mode, even the Assault using the Empty Backpack can't catch up. You can even feel that the distance between the two sides is slowly widening.

The enemy is not a slow-moving transport plane. Even if we keep firing at it, it will only be a waste of power.

"Kruser, why is it always you!"

Mu felt anxious. It would be disastrous if the other party took back the information about the Archangel. Wouldn't it be easy to chase, intercept and shoot down a ship?

But what's the point of being anxious? The rifle in the assault's hand can't do anything.

After a beam of light flew over here, a large amount of live ammunition flew over from the other side. The Assault Type Xigu kept moving forward while firing continuously with the Gatling guns mounted on both arms.

Although it doesn't matter if you don't evade the attack, the PS armor will consume power when it takes damage.

Mu rotated with the cockpit, rolled sideways for a week, and then maintained his speed to catch up.

Looking at its movements, Cruze said as if praising it:

"Your movements are becoming more and more skillful, Mu."

The praise transmitted through the public channel sounds condescending, like an elder praising a young person.

"Stop being so arrogant!"

Mu stared at the Assault-Type Xigu, and the lock that was about to be completed was suddenly lost.

Don't forget where this is. Assault-type Xigu dodged behind the debris on the ground and shook off the strike's lock.

Not long ago, it was Team Cruze that was chasing the Archangel, but now the situation is completely the opposite.

But just like that time, Mu realized that they couldn't chase him any further.

First, we can't catch up. Second, we don't know where the enemy's warships are waiting. If we go too deep, we will be at a disadvantage.

"Damn new machine."

What Mu was talking about was naturally the assault-type Xigu. At first, when he didn't see clearly, he thought Cruze was still driving a Xigu. In this way, even if he couldn't catch up with the Holy Shield, he could cooperate with the Golden Heretic to shoot down the Xigu. As a result, he didn't expect that it was a new type of machine, and Cruze became more difficult to kill.

"Rei, we can't do this anymore. We—"

We retreated. There was still some distance between us. If the Archangel set sail immediately, we could outstrip the enemy with our speed.

The above is what Mu was unable to finish, because the silent Rei suddenly said this in the public channel:

"What? Are you going to abandon Lacus Clyne on our ship?"

The mouth and hand moved together, and the trigger was pulled before the words were finished.

Lacus Klein

When Aslan was stunned when he heard the name, the warning from the machine made him feel as if his thoughts were forcibly torn in half, so his reaction was a little slow.

The beam heading towards the Aegis thruster finally hit it, causing an explosion.

The unbalanced Aegis had to transform back into MS form to adjust its posture. The large thruster hanging on its left waist was completely deformed, and the paint was burned off by the high temperature, turning it into an ugly black.

But this round of exquisite operation ultimately slowed down the speed of the Holy Shield. It raised its shield to block the shot from the rifle in the Golden Heretic's right hand.

Aslan saw the golden heretic taking the opportunity to get closer, and the battle between the two sides was inevitable. A way to deal with it immediately came to his mind.

"Don't underestimate me!"

The two sides had clashed more than once, and Aslan naturally knew that the Golden Heretic did not have PS armor.

The Vulcan cannons fired from both sides of the Holy Shield's head forced the Golden Heretic to raise his shield to respond, leaving many sunken bullet holes on the shield that was specifically designed to protect against light beams.

But that's enough, because this shield will hit the Holy Shield directly.

Ray feels that there is a meaning to making MS into a human form, it is not just a gun mount for holding weapons.

Having used kicks while piloting a MS, he doesn't mind using a shield to deliver a powerful shield bash.

The Holy Shield, which had just adjusted its balance, was unable to dodge, and its posture, which had finally been corrected, seemed about to be destroyed again by the collision of the Golden Heretic.

Since it is impossible to dodge, the only option is to counterattack.

Just as Aslan said, "Don't underestimate me," the strange weapon installed on the feet of the Holy Shield lit up.

At this time, the dagger on the left foot of the Holy Shield, which seemed to be a decoration, changed its angle and opened, revealing a hidden yellow beam sword.

The slashing sword collided with the advancing shield, and the resulting impact pushed them back.

The hasty counterattack of the Holy Shield relied on the PS Armor's force dissipation and the Golden Heretic adjusted the balance at almost the same time, and the situation changed.

At this combat distance, it is impossible for Holy Shield to just leave, and Cruze cannot leave Holy Shield alone. He just escaped from the crisis caused by the Juul family and does not want to be targeted by the Sara family again.

"You're actually taking Miss Lacus as a hostage. Don't the Earth Army have any moral principles? Are you soldiers or bandits?"

Cruze mocked Rey's behavior. He has always been like this, liking to use words to attack his opponents.

The situation was just as Cruze said, even Mu felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was a soldier, and taking hostages was not within his consideration.

However, facing that irony, Ray didn't have any psychological fluctuations. What is a hostage? He just asked if you wanted to leave Lux alone, and he didn't actually point a gun at the girl.

What you say is one thing, but it doesn’t count.

"So? Anyway, as long as you all die here, no one will know about this. This place is perfect for your Adjuster's tombstone."

There was obvious excitement in Rey's tone, and the waters inside Athrun began to tremble, creating waves.

PS: Big bitch Rey!

PS: Mercury is a big name!

Chapter 25 Transformation Maneuver

Cruze is feeling very annoyed now. He thinks that no matter who encounters this situation, it will be very annoyed.

The Assault-Type Xigu, which was only carrying out search and rescue missions, did not carry any weapons. Apart from the Gatling gun on the shield, it only had the heavy sword. It was difficult for physical weapons to penetrate the PS armor.

So now the assault-type Xigu actually had no way to deal with the assault. When he turned back to rescue the Holy Shield, he was intercepted by the assault first, but there was no beam flying from there.

The Assault was consuming propellant here, and its behavior made Cruze feel unhappy for a rare time.

"Mu, just keep hiding in that mobile suit like a coward."

"What? Are you not convinced?"

Cruze's provocation was complete bullshit to Mu. The two had fought each other more than once or twice, so how could he be fooled so easily?

While the Assault-Type Xigu is mobile enough to keep up with the battle, it lacks any weapons that can actually cause damage to a strong attack.

So it doesn't matter if the assault doesn't attack, it just needs to divide the battlefield here.

Mu knew that they had a great chance of winning this battle, but the means they used were a bit dirty.

The assault-type Xigu who could pose a threat to the Golden Heretic was stopped here, while the Golden Heretic not far away held up a shield with his left hand and fired with his right hand, accelerating towards the damaged Holy Shield.

This was a challenge for the Aegis, as the large thruster hanging on its left thigh was damaged in the previous shooting, affecting the AMBAC performance of the entire aircraft.

The left and right swings become a little slow, and the monotonous movements will be seen through.

The golden heretic attacking from the front was exactly the same as the one in Aslan's memory, and was extremely powerful.

However, this judgment did not affect Aslan's actions. The Vulcan cannon on the head of the Holy Shield dodged the light beam and fired continuously. A series of live bullets hit the shield raised by the Golden Heretic.

But just like before, even though the Golden Heretic's shield looked extremely miserable due to the large number of bullet holes, this shield was not so fragile that it could be penetrated by the Vulcan cannon.

It would have been fine if he had just focused on avoiding, but the Holy Shield, which was trying to find ways to counterattack, was almost hit in the cockpit. The beam that brushed past his waist left with high temperature, and the defense of the PS armor reduced some of the Holy Shield's power.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer, which increases the accuracy of shooting.

"Don't hide, Holy Shield."

What the hell is Rei saying? No one is so stupid as to just stop hiding when you tell them to. So the key point is the next sentence:

"You see, it's all your fault for running around. There are fewer and fewer bodies to be recovered."

"what?"

Aslan was forced to remember one thing. This was Junius 7. It was impossible that all the 24 people who were lost were thrown out. So where were they now?

What remained were fragments of the park's greenery, which had been destroyed by the beam of light.

One shot wasn't enough, three consecutive shots engulfed many corpses before the wreckage could really gather.

Because the Holy Shield was retreating, Aslan didn't notice what was behind him.

But Rey was different. He deliberately used shooting to force the Holy Shield to this area, to this extremely uncomfortable area.

Aslan finally noticed something. What was floating near the behemoth of the Holy Shield were not street lights, gravel, or trash cans, but corpses one after another.

The next moment, a warning sounded in the cockpit of the Aegis.

The Holy Shield tried its best to deflect the body, but it was still a little slow. Its right shoulder armor was completely destroyed and was no longer covered by the PS armor.

There were more fragments scattered here. The moving Holy Shield could not avoid so many densely packed small things. The corpses that had been frozen for a long time collapsed one after another under the collision with the Holy Shield's hard armor, and those that were hit head-on were directly rotten on the Holy Shield.

"What, what, wuuuu"

A nauseous feeling welled up in Aslan's stomach. How many bodies had the Holy Shield just smashed? How many bodies were stuck to the Holy Shield's body?

How could this happen? What's going on?

"Aren't you here to mourn Junius 7? Hurry and take him back."

It was him, and every time he mocked me, his voice revealed a strong malice.

The Aegis's shield blocked the beam that was supposed to hit the cockpit, so it was not so easily shot down.

Rey was not surprised. The fact that the Aegis was able to counterattack with its leg beam sword even when it was off balance proved that its pilot was no ordinary person. However, he was still a human being who was affected by his emotions.

That's why Rei heard a young voice:

"Why can you say such a thing so calmly?!"

Aslan couldn't understand how there could be such a person in the world. It wasn't that he spoke without considering other people's feelings, he spoke deliberately to attack others.

When Rei heard this voice, he was convinced that his guess was correct. The destruction of Junius 7 forced many young Adjusters to join the battlefield. How old were they?

There are many disgusting things in this world that have nothing to do with age, such as revenge and faith. It would be really sad if there were no war.

Regardless of thinking, Ray continued to speak harshly:

"What? Did this hit a nerve? Do you know anyone here? That would be great!"

The Golden Heretic completed his aim and was about to shoot down the Holy Shield.

"When you go to hell, you can ask them how painful their death was!"

Ray squeezed the trigger, and a flash of light appeared in the muzzle of the rifle.

It was as if something had broken, and for the first time in his life, Aslan felt such anger.

The corpses stuck to the Holy Shield no longer made him feel nauseous. Perhaps it was a psychological effect. It seemed as if countless people were clamoring for revenge in his ears.

Even the once gentle voice had changed. Would Junius's mother, whose mother had died here, utter such curses?

No, it was his own heart that was speaking, he wanted to kill someone.

But he couldn't kill it. The warning from the Holy Shield was so loud that Aslan felt like his head was going to explode.

Why? Why should he die while that scumbag gets to live? Is this reality?

I

Isaac, Nicol, Lacus, Mother, Junius 7.

"I am going to kill you!"
