Chapter 804 Minerva’s Dilemma
The United Army's attacking troops on the Minerva also seemed a little at a loss after the Lord Angel cut into the middle of the battlefield. The mobile suits surrounded by the Lord Angel made those high-level executives of the United Fleet feel ashamed when they saw it. Extremely sad and angry.
Crimson Forbidden, Dark Strike, Chaos, Abyss, Gaia, Red Holy Shield, Emerald Storm, Black Thunder, Azure Duel, Strike Gundam, and even the Lord Angel itself are all engraved with the mark of the union, except Chaos, Abyss , except for the three Gaia machines, the rest of the airframes including the warships were all jointly built by themselves. Even the Chaos, Abyss, and the Gaia three machines were invested in manpower and material resources from ZAFT.
Originally these mechatronics should belong to them, they were part of their war power, the mobile suits that were supposed to fight for unity, but now all of them have become enemies, seeing what originally belonged to them represents other countries showing off their power in front of them , That kind of feeling is really a bit indignant.
However, the intrusion of the Lord Angel did disrupt the combat deployment of the Minerva by the Allied Forces, causing the pressure on the Minerva to be reduced a lot at once, because the Lord Angel stopped in the middle. In addition to being able to bypass the main angel's MS, the warships on the other side cannot continue to suppress and attack the Minerva, otherwise it is very likely to hit the main angel in the middle.
Although United and Orb are now hostile, apart from the previous battle, the two sides are still relatively rational. Of course, this is also the reason why United has no extra troops and combat power to deal with Orb. When negotiating the issue of the handover of prisoners, they showed restraint in dealing with the issues of both sides.
Orb is because neutral countries cannot take the initiative to attack and it is inconvenient to attack, while the United is because the captives are already worried about completely pushing Orb to ZAFT and are unwilling to continue to complicate the situation. , although he didn't intend to take the initiative to attack, but that posture can make people understand that he is helping ZAFT's Minerva, and he has released so many specially-made mechas in advance, posing as if who is going to move me? , I will move anyone's posture, which also makes the United side feel a kind of humiliation and anger.
And even though there is only one battleship, the Lord Angel, the United side dare not underestimate the combat capabilities that the Lord Angel and the MS guarding around the battleship can display. Once the combat power of the Lord Angel and Minerva If the combat power of the Minerva is gathered, then the attack on their army against the Minerva will also be devastating.
In the Dawn Gundam, Mu also cautiously looked at all the surrounding conditions from the cockpit screen of the aircraft, and nodded slightly when he saw that the offensive of the coalition forces had slowed down because of their appearance. Bucky Lulu on the bridge said: "It seems that the Union is indeed afraid of us, but we can't stay like this forever, although we don't care if we offend the Union, and we can't do it without a legitimate reason from our standpoint." It’s okay to be biased, but we can’t really go to war.”
Bucky Lulu picked up the microphone at hand,
Said: "I understand this. Unless the joint initiative launches an attack, there must be no attack intentions on our side. The most appropriate thing now is to hope that the warship can seize this opportunity to leave here immediately."
"Oh, it's really troublesome." Mu shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, last time Orb was attacked by the United, the United and us have already been in a hostile position. Even if we want to attack them, it makes sense. If you want me to directly cooperate with ZAFT to teach us a lesson It’s actually not bad to have a joint meal, but we have to make some twists and turns in it.”
Bakilulu neither denied what Mu said, but also disagreed with what he said, and just said calmly: "This is politics. Although I don't know what your lord is thinking, it's better not to make things that confuse you and Aubu too much." It is more appropriate to pass passive things, at least not yet an opportunity."
Mu chuckled, shook his head and said, "So, I'm only suitable to be a soldier, not a politician."
"Be careful. This is a battlefield after all. Don't be distracted by thinking about things you shouldn't think about. As a soldier, you only need to do what you should do." Bucky Lulu put down the microphone in his hand and turned to face The CIC next to it said: "Notify the Minerva and let them evacuate immediately, we will delay here."
"Yes, Captain." CIC nodded, and immediately contacted the Minerva not far away, and sent Bucky Lulu's words there.
However, although the Lord Angel and a small area nearby seem to be calm, they are still in chaotic battles outside this area. Even though the bombardment path of the warships of the United Army is somewhat blocked by the Lord Angel, their mobile suits It has the ability to fly, and has the ability to bypass the area where the Lord Angel is located and continue to attack the Minerva.
Even without the support of warships in the rear, there are not a few Allied mobile suits attacking near the Minerva. It's just that the pressure is much less than when the Lord Angel did not enter the battlefield just now, and at this time Minerva In addition to the real Impulse Gundam and Aslan's Savior Gundam on the Wa, the two planes separated from the battleship itself and engaged in battle with the Allied Forces' mobile suits in the sky, are also piloted by Heine who flew out of the Lord Angel. There are three slot machines, but at this time, they are also restrained by Wendam whose number is at least ten times higher.
On the battleship, the two Zakus, one white and one red, are basically used as the Minerva's defense turrets because they do not have the ability to fly. The five mechas are basically useless against the large-scale Allied mobile suits. To be able to intercept all the Allied mobile suits attacking the Minerva battleship, and at this time the outer wall of the Minerva has already suffered a lot of damage. What Bucky Lulu saw from the screen alone, at least There are no less than five fire points, and black smoke is still billowing out into the air.
On the Minerva, Captain Talia already had the idea of evacuating immediately when the Archangel entered the battlefield, but there were a lot of mobile suits surrounding the Minerva, and the battleship was damaged. It's also a bit serious, relying only on the Zaku Warrior and Zaku Phantom left on the battleship, it is difficult to evacuate in the face of the encirclement of more than a dozen mobile suits.
Beams and fire snakes are everywhere around the entire Minerva, and the flames of missiles exploding make the ship continue to shake uncontrollably.
Moreover, after the appearance of the Lord Angel, although Impulse Gundam broke down a lot of allied mobile suits like taking medicine, it also pushed Impulse Gundam to the front, almost as if it had entered the encirclement of allied army mobile suits. Even the savior Gundam and Blazing Tiger who were responsible for the support were implicated, which made Captain Thalia feel anxious and helpless at the same time.
Especially after hearing the first mate Arthur recount the message from the Lord Angel, he also thumped the armrest of the chair, gritted his teeth lightly and said, "Arthur, tell Zhen and the others to come back immediately and prepare to evacuate here."
"Yes." Arthur nodded in a panic, and after turning around, he began to connect the three mechas of the real Impulse Gundam, Aslan's Savior Gundam, and Heine's Blazing Tiger.
"MS appeared on the side and rear, three in number!" Following the report of the radar control in the bridge, Wendam of the three combined forces also detoured to the rear of the Minerva during the battle, and Captain Thalia did the same. Responded in the first time: "Automatically defend against turret attack, anti-beam mine blast, missile launch!"
As soon as Captain Thalia's voice fell, four or five automatic turrets on the outer armor of the battleship shifted their direction, and began to attack the three Wendams that detoured behind. At the same time, seven or eight missiles were also launched from the missiles. It flew out of the weapon and flew towards the three Windhams.
It was not the first time that the Minerva was attacked by the enemy's detour from the rear. Although the rear and bottom of the Minerva were the weak points of this battleship, it did not mean that the Minerva had no Ability to deal with enemies in the rear.
Three of the missiles flew to different angles, and they exploded without hitting the target. After a burst of white light burst out, they turned into stars and scattered near the rear of the Minerva. Taiwendam's attack originally had little effect when it hit the Minerva because of the anti-beam coating. After the three anti-beam blasts exploded, there was no way to continue attacking the Minerva. .
Not to mention that there are still a few missiles and three Fire Serpents attacking the three Windhams. The three Windhams seem relatively calm in the face of the Minerva's attack. The flying missiles scattered in one direction after a few attacks.
Perhaps they ignored the effect of the anti-beam mine blast. The original attack on the missile did not have the desired effect at all. It even dispersed as the three airframes dispersed, and chased after the target they locked.
The three Wendams had to avoid the pursuing missiles and dodge the fire snakes fired by the Minerva's automatic defense turret, especially when they were not far away from the Minerva. Attacks from two directions were not easy for these miscellaneous pilots, only one of the three mechas escaped the Minerva's attack intact.
Among the other two, one of them was directly hit by a missile and exploded in the air, while the other managed to get out of the area of effect of the anti-beam mine explosion and successfully destroyed the missile, but was shot out by several fire snakes. It swept across the side from bottom to top, and there were many bullet holes along with countless sparks. The death of the pilot on the spot also caused the machine to lose control, and it began to fall downwards with black smoke and flames. (to be continued ~^~)
