Gundam EXARE

"Anyway, it's just delivering food to people. I understand."

She waved her hand to acknowledge the request, but before she turned to leave, Ray called out to her:

"Wait, Cagalli!"

Cagalli raised an eyebrow. She felt that Ray's sudden serious call to her must be bad news. Then she heard Ray's request:

"Could you please ask the other girl's name for me?"

Rei spoke very embarrassedly, which earned him an indescribable look from Cagalli.

Oh, you want me to ask the girl's name for you?

"You really forget it."

Such a scumbag.

Chapter 57: Sea Raid

It has been said that the assault ship has three modes: short, medium and long range, high mobility, close combat and high firepower. The problem is that these three modes have not been considered for naval warfare.

At this time, Rey was sitting in the cockpit of the Raider, using the knowledge he had learned to rewrite the existing OS.

The OS that Kira prepared for Mu only needed a little modification in Ray's opinion, and it turned out that Mu was not an ordinary person either.

As for those two people, they are currently rewriting Desert King's OS.

Back to the topic, Rey is a man who likes to talk. While he was writing the OS, he thought of something that actually didn't matter: the Assault had actually changed two pilots.

First Kira drove in an emergency, then Mu drove for a while, and now it was his turn.

Now that you have thought of it, you should say it directly.

At this time, Rei said in a tone that was 70% teasing and 30% incitement:

"Strike, I will definitely give you an unforgettable experience that will make you forget everyone else."

This alone is not enough, he continued:

"You have two exes, I have three exes, you and I are a match made in heaven."

Rei stretched out his left hand and gently stroked the various instruments in the cockpit.

"You're a rotten crotch, and I'm a rotten crotch, so aren't we a match made in heaven?"

Let’s not talk about the crotch issue for now. This guy’s brain must be rotten.

In this chaotic atmosphere, the extremely annoying alarm sounded wildly, completely destroying all the romance.

"Level 2 combat readiness!"

Maru's serious voice came from the radio, and Ray, who was affectionate in the previous second, put away all his expressions in this second. Although he thought that ZAFT would attack, he really didn't want to encounter it, otherwise he wouldn't have said that the three assault forms had not considered water battles.

Beam weapons are basically useless underwater. The beam reacts with the seawater before it even leaves the barrel. Boiling water damage to the barrel is considered a minor injury. If a steam explosion occurs, not only the weapon but also the entire MS will be damaged.

"Ok?"

Rey had a new idea when he imported the OS. At the same time, Kira put away his computer and cut off the connection and ran to the desert Jinn. He had already written it once, and now it was just the second time.

The three MSs completed the basic OS programming in a very short time. Although they would definitely need to be adjusted according to each person's habits and the condition of the machine, the enemy attacking now would not give them time.

The Assault was released from standby mode, and different instrument panels and buttons lit up together. Its cockpit details were exactly the same as the Golden Heretic's, so there was no need to familiarize yourself with it.

The communication was connected at this moment, and the boy's face appeared in the corner of the screen.

"Can I change someone?"

Ray expressed his feelings seriously.

"It's too much!"

Sai couldn't hold it anymore, I'm sorry, I'm not a girl!

Then Rei showed his familiar smile again.

"Just kidding, what's going on?"

He naturally had no objection. He wanted to lighten the atmosphere and prevent the young people from getting nervous. As the CIC, Sai immediately told them the intelligence they had obtained:

"Sonar is reporting a response. Three ZAFT water mobile suits are heading towards the Archangel. Model unknown."

"Got it. I'll attack in my sword suit."

When it comes to ZAFT's water-based MS, there are only the Gern and the Commander's Zono. They are equipped with a large number of anti-ship equipment and physical weapons as well as special weapons called phonon cannons.

A phonon cannon can generate a large number of phonons that move in unison, with consistent frequencies and initial phases, forming a dense beam that generates enormous energy at the point of impact. Simply put, it is an underwater substitute for beam weapons.

Even the PS armor can't withstand many rounds, not to mention that the Assault is not a water machine at all, so this battle may be difficult to fight.

But who goes to war without considering tactics? Ray had an idea.

The assault equipment that is about to attack is equipped with an anti-ship sword and a beam boomerang. This sword equipment becomes more cumbersome in a gravity environment and cannot be used for close combat through high maneuverability.

Rei answered the call and Mu's face appeared on the screen.

"Mu, I have a plan to quickly eliminate the enemy and I need your help."

Dividing line

It's not just fish that can swim freely on the seabed. Large weapons are moving at high speed and scanning left and right with their single red eye.

Marco was an excellent commander and had long been accustomed to the sea, which seemed incredible to some of his young subordinates.

This is not surprising, as young people born in space don't understand anything about Earth. However, many soldiers in the ZAFT army have lived on Earth before.

Why are the PLANT adjusters so determined to oppose the Earth Alliance? Think about it, you spent the first half of your life on Earth suffering from contempt and persecution, and finally chose to abandon all of this and escape to space.

In the end, those people are still unwilling to let you go. Even if you reach the universe, they will catch up and kill you. Then there is only one way left for you.

Marco thought this was ridiculous. The Adjusters were all born on Earth. They left Earth to escape pain, and finally returned to Earth to defeat Earth.

"Not destroying the Earth."

The more Marco came into contact with the sea, the more inexplicable he felt this war was. The Earth would not reject the adjusters, it was the natural people who rejected the adjusters.

The sea will accept everything gently, but people are not as gentle as the sea.

Natural persons call the adjusters monsters in the sky, but in the eyes of the adjusters, aren’t natural persons also monsters on the earth?

At this time, the information from the sonar radar made Marco concentrate his attention. The Archangel was a space battleship and it had no anti-submarine capability.

Marco and his subordinates were divided into two groups: the air force and the navy. The air force attracted the Archangel's attention from above, while the navy looked for opportunities to attack from below.

They had no intention of destroying the Archangel all at once. When the enemy advanced, they retreated; when the enemy retreated, they advanced; when the enemy stayed, they harassed; when the enemy was tired, they attacked. They had the initiative in the sea and could do whatever they wanted to the Archangel, just conducting guerrilla warfare.

The Archangel was only one ship, and its speed wasn't fast enough to give ZAFT only one chance to attack.

"Remember what I said, don't be reckless, we will definitely be the winner in the end!"

Marco instructed his subordinates that in addition to the two Guns traveling with him, the four Deans that could fly within the atmosphere could already see the rising Archangel in the sky.

The next moment, Marco saw something entering the water on the radar again.

With its iconic V-shaped antenna and two eyes that seemed to correspond to its single eye, the white, blue, and red mobile suit jumped directly into the sea with its humanoid body that had no regard for the flow of water.

"I remember it was called a strong attack."

Marco stared at Storm as he was sinking into the water. He had intelligence that Storm was using a sword suit for close combat.

"I can't use the beam rifle after all, good!"

Sano and Gun, who were diving deep before, rushed directly towards the sinking Assault. The three machines launched fish at the Assault at the same time, winning by quantity.

However, the Vulcan cannon on the head of the assault ship is not a beam weapon. The live bullets fired from the two gun muzzles can still be effective in the water. After hitting the target, it detonates the torpedoes and causes more torpedoes to be swept into it.

The battle in the sea suddenly spread out, and the fish turned around and tried to escape from the sea area.

Amidst explosions and water currents, the Strike's thrusters allowed it to move through the water with heavy movements.

In contrast, Zono and Gun don't care at all. They face headfirst and rely on their streamlined design to swim freely in the water.

Unlike the assault MS, these three water MSs seemed like real fish of steel. They changed their forms easily while moving forward. The two Gerns adjusted their angles, and they used the two phonon cannons on their chests to coordinate their attacks while climbing diagonally.

The green light was actually a guide laser for the driver. The first two shots from the invisible phonon cannon forced the Assault to move, and the last two hit the Assault's raised sword-mounted attack shield.

Unlike in space, the Assault couldn't change direction quickly in the water, and even moving in one direction seemed slow.

After being pushed back by the impact of the phonon cannon, Qiangshou was about to face the attacking Sano again. Qiangshou's left hand attacked the shield forward, and the rocket anchor he launched was so slow that Sano easily avoided it by just rotating his body. He also used his huge body to rub against Qiangshou, further destroying Qiangshou's balance.

"Look, Captain, that's just drowning!"

"The sea is our home turf!"

The confidence of the two Guns had reached its highest point. They had no weapons to use when forcing their way into the water. The rocket anchors could not fly out, and the range and speed of the Vulcan cannons were also reduced.

It was now sinking face down, and the activated thrusters were still mitigating the impact of Zono.

The two Gerns fired directly from top to bottom, using torpedoes, machine guns, and sonic cannons, using whatever they had.

The assault seemed to realize that its counterattack was useless, so it turned around and advanced at full speed towards the upper corner, as if trying to rise to the surface of the sea.

However, the linear speed of the Stormtrooper in the water was no match for Zono and Gunn. Even if it wanted to escape, it could not shake off the enemy.

Led by Sano, it and the three Gern machines chased the assault plane directly, keeping a certain distance and firing at it.

They could have just chased after him, but Marco said this:

"Keep your distance and beware of traps!"

Although Marco did not believe those rumors that sounded mysterious, he believed that the Archangel was powerful, otherwise it would not have survived until now.

Who knows if the attack was a fake defeat? It has to be this way?!

At this moment, the bright light of the explosion and the turbulent water flow appeared at the same time.

Sano and Gun were indeed firing at the Strike, but this huge explosion suddenly exploded in front of the Strike, directly engulfing it.

The explosion was so powerful that the three MSs that were rushing forward were unable to dodge and were hit by the hot water flow. Then one of the Gerns saw the attack rushing towards it.

"what?!"

The anti-ship sword pierced through the Gern, but before the other two planes could retaliate, something exploded with such force that a fountain rose from the sea.

PS: I'm back! I calculated the bounty today and I owe 21 chapters. I'll start paying it back tomorrow. Do you need a detailed calculation?

PS: I played Dragon Letter 2 for almost nine hours straight yesterday, and my head was about to explode.

PS: Although there is no reward, I still hope you will support me

Chapter 58 Water Vapor

Before the attack, Rei told Mu that he had a plan.

The Desert King is completely unable to swim. As a space machine, the King has no ability to swim. After reading the instruction manual of the Strike, Rey discovered that this machine can actually move in water, but its performance is not guaranteed.

You can’t beat a water-powered machine just by relying on the machine’s performance, so you have to use some tricks.

In addition to the heavy particle cannon, the Archangel also had four pairs of eight large anti-ship missiles in total as weapons obtained from Heliopolis. At that time, the two Jinns were shot down by Ray's Gold Heretic before they could do anything.

After Rey drove the Assault into the water, Mu's Desert King had been waiting for communication.

Finally, four large anti-ship missiles, intended for use in space, were fired towards Earth's ocean.

Then another four or eight large missiles, which were not torpedoes at all, fell into the sea. They were unable to exert their original performance. Not to mention attacking the target, it was hard to say whether they could even explode.

Since the missile can't fly to a fixed location, I'll go there myself.

This is the reason why the assault ship rose to the sea surface. It moved towards the missile and actively approached it, activating the proximity fuse inside the missile.

The anti-ship missiles that detected the enemy nearby struggled to play their original role. The sweeping explosion swept everything around it, and the heat and impact hit the attacker fiercely.

However, the PS Armor was an expert at dealing with them. Ray's hands and feet coordinated with each other, using the braking force to turn around and charge again. His prey was Gern, who was affected by the water flow and the flash.

Assault thrust the anti-ship sword with a physical blade at the front into the enemy's body, and instantly activated the beam blade, pulled it down and closed it, cutting open Gern's body.

"One."

Rei was looking for other enemies. At this time, it was not just one missile that exploded, but more explosions occurred near the sea.

Assault advanced towards that direction, and the force fields of both sides were completely reversed. Now Assault was chasing the two aquaculture machines affected by the explosion from behind.

Rei didn't want to fight the enemy in the water at all, so he deliberately showed weakness to lure the enemy into the trap.

Even the Iron Fish could not resist the huge waves. The power of the large missiles made a mess of the underwater world. Sano and Gun were swaying crookedly. They finally managed to break free from the explosion.

But that's not all. The Ghen's pilot heard the warnings from the machine.

Aiming at it were a series of Vulcan cannons that had been greatly weakened in the water. Logically speaking, these weapons could not even hit it, let alone be powerful.
