Gundam EXARE

But at this time, Gern was blown out by the explosion, and its forward trajectory was no longer flexible. The armor was fatigued after suffering damage.

For example, the armor value has been reduced to 1, so even a weapon like the Vulcan Cannon, which only has 1 point of damage, can penetrate it.

As a result, a large number of bullet holes were carved into Gern's body, and the water pressure from the outside to the inside began to deform the entire body, and it completely lost control.

"I'll give you a ride."

Rey was not mocking the enemy. Before the Gern was destroyed by the water pressure and imploded, he stabbed the anti-ship knife into the Gern's cockpit, so that the enemy would not have to feel the fear of the deep sea.

But this slowing down gave the only remaining Zono a chance to fight back. Instead of trying its best to control its body, it roughly made an emergency landing on the seabed.

Marco is worthy of being a commander. He accurately judged the situation and believed that it was better for the aircraft to be damaged than to be shot down directly.

Continuing in that shaky state would only lead to passive attacks, so before making an emergency landing, he pulled Sano and turned the machine around.

I saw Sano's back rubbing against the seabed while he counterattacked the oncoming Assault. The phonon cannons equipped in his claws fired alternately one after another. The first shot was avoided and the second shot hit Assault's shield.

"How dare you come down into the water with that pathetic performance!"

Marco turned the pain of his men's death into anger. The current situation was just as he said. The Strike was only this strong in the water. Its slow movements were completely visible.

Having lost its mobility advantage, the Assault was just a moving target that was easy to hit underwater. The Zono, which used friction to unload the force, finally stopped. The armor behind it became tattered, but not completely destroyed.

Marco stepped on the pedal, and the Zonna's underwater thrusters were as reliable as ever, like a charging shark.

The phonon cannon fired again, and just like before, the first shot made the Assault dodge, and the second shot hit the Assault's shield.

But Qiangxiong's movements were different this time. The anti-ship sword he was holding had already been put back on his shoulder, and his right hand was free to grab the beam boomerang on his left shoulder.

The pink light disappeared in a flash, and before Marco could understand the situation, the steam explosion caused by the ultra-high temperature directly swept Sano in.

At the bottom of the sea, the boomerang with its beam nozzle blown to pieces flew out for a distance before sinking under the influence of the water resistance, while Sano's body leaned back, with two daggers piercing into its chest on both sides.

Holding the dagger tightly, Qiangxiong pressed Sano with his whole body, and fired the Vulcan Cannon at zero distance, smashing Sano's entire chest.

Is being able to fly so great? Sorry, being able to fly really means you can do whatever you want.

The assault entered the water and fought on the enemy's home turf.

But who says the sky is the Archangel’s home turf?

There are four Deans in the MS unit led by Marco. They are air combat machines developed by ZAFT to ensure air superiority.

Unlike the Assault, which relies on thrust to glide in the air, Dean minimizes the weight of the aircraft to the greatest extent, abandons the heavy armor, and adds six large mechanical wings.

Dean's body weight is not even half of King's. It can fly freely in the air with its wings spread out, and launch attacks with the heavy assault machine guns and shotguns equipped in both hands.

The Archangel is now facing this problem. The two Desert Kings standing at the attack port cannot find the enemy even if they aim.

The pilots of the four Deans were very sane. They went around from the side and chased the Archangel from behind.

The Archangel's anti-aircraft firepower and electromagnetic cannon were unable to directly hit Dean who remained maneuverable.

Although the weapons used by Dean could not directly penetrate the armor of the Archangel, the thrusters did not have such defensive power.

One of the Archangel's thruster armors had just been severely damaged by the Bartfield team's artillery fire. Now that Dean discovered the wound, he rushed towards that direction.

It’s not that Maddock and the others don’t want to repair it, the problem is where to get the materials in the desert to repair the Archangel.

The four Deans are like four annoying flies. You can't hit them, and they can't cause any harm to you for the time being.

But like flies, they can suck blood from your body.

"No, there's no shooting angle at all!"

Mu's Desert King was waving around with his gun raised, but no idiot was willing to fly in front of the Archangel.

How could it fire at the enemy if it couldn't see it here? As the body guarding the Archangel, it could only watch the Archangel get beaten.

Kira also understood the situation, so he controlled Desert King to squat down and grabbed another confiscated heavy assault rifle.

"That does not work!"

Kira said as he stepped on the pedal, increasing the power of the thrusters behind the Desert Jinn to the maximum.

"Wait, if you jump on it you'll just become a target!"

As soon as Mu finished speaking, the Desert King driven by Kira jumped high up without caring about anything.

"hateful!"

Mu immediately stepped on the pedal to catch up, and the two Desert Kings jumped up one after the other, exposing themselves to the enemy's gunfire.

The machines they were driving now did not have PS armor, and facing the concentrated firepower of four Deans, the only outcome was death.

In the eyes of Dean and the others, these two idiots were just running out to die.

“It actually jumped out by itself!”

If I can’t penetrate the Archangel, can I still penetrate you, the Desert Jinn?

The Bartfield team brought back a lot of intelligence, so Dean's pilots would not regard these two Desert Kings as their own. The moment they switched targets, Kira pulled the trigger.

However, it was not the two heavy assault machine guns that opened fire, but the triple launcher on Desert King's right shoulder.

Unfortunately, the launcher was not loaded with invincible large-scale killing weapons, but just three ordinary smoke bombs. They drew an arc from bottom to top, and the smoke inside began to pour out.

The smoke suddenly turned into a wall of smoke, separating the two sides.

"What? A dying struggle?"

Dean and his men didn't care about the smoke at all. The two Desert Jinns couldn't fly, and in the end they would either land on the ship and become a ground target, or fall into the sea and drown.

Just as they were thinking this, a series of bullets appeared in the direction of one of the Deans.

"Varied?!"

The extremely lightweight armor also has extremely low defense. King can withstand a lot of damage when hit by a machine gun, while Dean's armor is easily penetrated like cardboard.

Before the driver inside could figure out what was happening, he and his falling vehicle were hit by the Archangel's anti-aircraft Vulcan and finally turned into a ball of firework.

"This way!"

Kira, who had already shot down a Dean, pulled the trigger again, and the two machine guns fired wildly in a general direction.

This is a very simple physics. When a large object like Dean flies at high speed, it will definitely have an impact on the surroundings, so Kira launched the smoke bomb.

A large amount of smoke was pulled by the wind, so that wind was Dean.

Just as Kira thought, another Dean that came after it crashed into the intertwined fire network of two machine guns. Its armor, which had both advantages and disadvantages, finally took its life.

Chapter 59: At War

"That's it, I understand."

Mu is not a fool. He must praise Kira for his quick thinking. He must be an excellent student who can apply what he has learned.

When it comes to shooting, as long as you can predict where the opponent will move next, you will definitely hit the target.

The performance of the smoke bombs used by MS is naturally much higher than that of military ones. Although this huge cloud of smoke is moving with the wind, how can the natural wind compare to the air waves generated by Dean's flight.

There is no need to say much about what happened next. The flying bullets shot down the remaining two Deans who didn't understand what was happening.

If they could think more calmly, they would definitely be able to figure out what was going on.

But the battlefield is not a place where you can think slowly. A wrong decision can cost you your life.

"It really doesn't give us a break."

Mu looked at Dean, who was shot through and fell into the sea. He was now very troubled.

Military intelligence must be shared. Now that the ZAFT army is chasing us, one can imagine what will happen next.

No matter where it goes, it will be chased and beaten. Is this the fate of the Archangel?

Suddenly, Kira asked anxiously:

"Captain, what should we do next?"

"what?"

Mu was puzzled. Wouldn't he just go back next? What else could he do?

But don't forget one thing, the Archangel is sailing and it can't brake at will.

In order to shoot down Dean's high jump, the two Desert Kings, which had been delayed for a while, advanced with all their strength and remained almost motionless.

Next, the thrusters that have been running to their limit will start to call for a break, as the earth's gravity treats everything equally.

"Wow?!"

The two Desert Jinns began to fall.

"Damn gravity!"

Mu shouted and began to pray that Desert Jin could still move in the water. He didn't want to keep sinking and be crushed by the water. It would be unlucky.

The next moment, the water surface exploded with a spectacular waterfall again.

"Ok?"

Unlike this scene, Qiangxiong, who popped his head out of the water, had just finished a round of diving.

Rei didn't understand what was happening. The waves crashed against Qiangxi's face, and its motionless appearance seemed to express confusion.

Today's battle is over, and I'm sure everyone in the maintenance room will be unhappy.

"What bad luck."

Ray sighed after the battle.

Dividing line

Under the night sky, the stars seemed to have hidden themselves out of sadness. Under the scattered points of light, ZAFT's Carpentaria base was shrouded in shock and anger.

"Total destruction?! All destroyed in just three minutes?!"

It is impossible for the troops led by Marco to swim and fly all the way to attack the Archangel by their mobile suits. The large submarine carrier of the Vosgurov class carrying them returned alone and brought back information about the Archangel.

A total of seven mobile suits attacked the Archangel, but none of them returned.

According to the data finally recovered, all seven mobile suits were destroyed within three minutes.

What is even more shocking is that Marco, who was also an excellent pilot, was shot down after fighting with the enemy for one minute and fifty-seven seconds.

The incomplete data could not give the specific process, and the last thing captured was Qiangxi's dark golden mechanical eyes.

Since the beginning of the universe, the Archangel has demonstrated extraordinary strength.

It's not performance, it's strength.

Simply comparing the combat power of both sides, that battleship and the MS on board would not have survived until now even if they had exerted all their performance, but it was able to overcome all obstacles and make breakthroughs.

Defeated the Cruze team, escaped from Artemis, broke through the blockade and landed on Earth, severely damaged the Baltfield team, and this time the Marco team was completely wiped out.

So far, one battleship and three MSs have shot down four battleships and twenty-nine MSs from ZAFT, including the Thunderbolt and Duel from the G series.

It's okay if the duel is just about the cockpit, but for Thunder, it's better to rebuild it than to repair it.

Marco had this idea in mind when he led his troops to attack with just one battleship. If the Archangel had not had any way to deal with submarines, the Vosgurov-class might not even be able to bring back any intelligence.

What the hell is going on? What's with that white battleship and that white mobile suit? This isn't normal at all.

At this moment, the ZAFT army on Earth began to believe that their fellow space army members were not crazy and that they must not let the battleship reach the Alaska base.

Inside the Carpentaria base, Aslan, who had retreated with the Bartfield team, was staring at the paused image on the screen.

The Sword Assault rushed out from the thick fog of the steam explosion, with its hands open, about to grasp the two daggers that popped out.

The next scene is that Storm is almost sticking to Sano. Many bullets can be found in the wreckage of Sano. It is probably because Storm fired the Vulcan cannon at zero distance.

""

"You care?"

A voice drew Aslan's attention back, and he turned his head. It was Bartfield who was talking to him.

"In fact, some people in the military have begun to regard the white mobile suit as a symbol."

First there was the Gold Heretic in the universe, and then there was the Assault underwater. Coincidentally, both MSs were white, so they were equated.

Back to the topic, Bartfield had naturally finished reading the few remaining battle records, so he said:

"My intuition tells me that the one who will launch the attack this time must be Rei."

"why?"
