"The enemy ships Nazca-class and Laurasia-class are approaching!"
"Two silent battleships were targeted by lasers!"
"Cruzer? You-"
The crew's report made Halbarton couldn't help but doubt his ears.
The enemy ships were targeting the two ships with lasers and preparing to bombard them. The ships had just lost their combat capabilities! ?
"boom--"
Before Halbarton could recover from his surprise, the Fesalius and Kamov's main guns fired a salvo.
In a blinding flash of light, both destroyers were sunk.
During this time, the MS fleet began to massacre new targets. But the center of the fleet remained motionless.
"Actually planning to attack a battleship that has left the battle line... Damn Cruze!"
Halbarton looked at the completely destroyed destroyer, gritted his teeth and punched the driver's seat hard.
"Aslan and Nigel are still too naive... You must be kind on the battlefield!"
On the bridge of the Fesalius, Cruze stood behind Adis and said to himself with a grin, "As long as there are left alive, they will get new weapons to deal with us!"
The screen of the Archangel showed the scene of the battleship exploding.
The cruel and ruthless behavior of Team Cruze caused the crew of the "Archangel" to fall into an icy silence.
Attacking a silent battleship—that kind of thing!
"Hey! Why am I on standby!"
The intercom at the captain's seat received a message from Captain Flagg. Judging from his expression, he was obviously very stimulated by Cruze's behavior. His words were full of anxiety and he said: "Even the Eighth Fleet can't deal with those four It’s also very dangerous!”
"Captain Vlada...this ship has not received the order to attack! Please continue to be on standby!" Malu gritted his teeth but still did not give the order for Flagg to attack.
After all, a Zero really wouldn't be of much use in this situation.
"Can····"
beep--
But before Flagg could finish speaking, Ma Liu cut off the communication.
Maru could already relate to Flagg's mood, because her mood was the same as Flagg's.
But protecting this ship and returning it safely to the headquarters is currently the most important task of the Eighth Fleet and Mary and others!
Even if they participated in the battle and defended the fleet, if the Archangel was shot down or missed the opportunity to land on Earth, the losses of the Eighth Fleet would become meaningless.
"boom--"
A flash of fire lit up the screen again.
"The enemy MS is approaching - identify the signal! X102 Duel - duel!"
"Connect the 'Minelaos'!",
Looking at MA being beaten to pieces by the duel, Ma Liu finally made a decision!
"Use beam!"
"Shoot it down!"
"MA formation—attack!"
"·····"
Along with the roar, a hurried Halbarton appeared on the screen.
"Long story short!" Halbarton's voice was almost roaring. The current situation made it impossible for him to stay calm.
Ma Liu recalled his decision and gritted his teeth and said: "I want this ship to leave the fleet and enter the landing procedure immediately. Please ask for permission!"
"What did you say!?"
Halbarton's figure disappeared in a hurry, and was replaced by the stunned adjutant Hoffman, saying: "Do you want to escape on your own?"
Upon hearing this, Malu replied sternly: "The enemy's target is this ship. If this ship does not leave, the Eighth Fleet will be completely destroyed!"
Halbarton's originally angry face showed a bitter expression. How could he not know this?
But such a large fleet was unable to compete with three enemy ships and dozens of mobile suits. This result——
"It may be difficult to get to Alaska, but from this position you can still land within the Earth Army's air control circle! As long as you can hold on until the critical point of entering the atmosphere, you can escape the pursuit of Jean and the ZAFT ship!"
Malu stated wholeheartedly, not intending to compromise at all.
Looking at Ma Liu's firm eyes, Halbarton had a wry smile on his face and said: "Haha, you are still the same as before, Captain Ma Liu!"
"This... subordinates always learn from their superiors!"
"hehe···"
Listening to the words of Malu's captain, Halbarton laughed, and then his face condensed, and he said: "The Archangel will immediately prepare for landing. We will definitely send you to the critical point. The chasing Wolf One It’s just that we are not allowed to let him go!”
Malu's enthusiasm ignited a fire in the admiral's heart. The Eighth Fleet is not a fool!
"Landing? In this case?"
Flagg said as he couldn't help but look back at Madek's face. It was a big gamble to choose this kind of time to land on Earth.
"What do you think I'm doing? It's better to do this than to continue to be like this, right?"
"But·····"
"Even if we get rid of the ZAFT ship and those four aircraft, it's still a problem, right?"
At this moment, an attribute voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"BOY?"
"you!"
Flagg and others looked at Kira who was walking slowly with dumbfounded eyes.
Facing everyone's expressions, Kira smiled calmly and said, "I will be on standby in 'Strike Gundam'."
Flagg was not happy at all when he saw the young man drifting towards the cockpit. As if he had thought of something, he sat there and muttered to himself: "At this age, being thrown around by battlefields and wars, what will happen in the future?" Life is very sad..."
His deep voice no longer had the usual free and easy tone, but vaguely echoed with loneliness and sadness.
Madek couldn't help but look at the man in front of him, known as the "Eagle of Endymion".
Although Flagg was not as young as Kira when he became famous as a top driver on the battlefield, he should still be called a young man. These words may be his personal experience...
Outside, the Minelaos opened communication lines to all ships.
"Minelaos calls the ship control groups - this fleet will move to escort the "Archangel" to the critical point of atmospheric entry..."
His voice drowned out the increasingly fierce fight to the death in the vacuum.
Halbarton's deep voice continued: "This will be a cruel battle, but for the sake of tomorrow's battle, this ship is a battleship that our army must not lose!"
"Order! All battleships immediately reorganize their formation! Even if they die! We must not let enemy planes pass behind us!"
The Archangel is the crystallization of his passion, and it is also the hope of the soldiers fighting on the front lines - we must defend the "Archangel" and "Strike Gundam"!
His firm willpower transcended words and inspired all officers and soldiers.
"Let them see the potential of the Earth Army!"
During Halbarton's speech, the "Archangel" also began its landing procedure.
"——Correct the orbit, the landing angle is six, one, theta is corrected to three..."
"Start landing, turbine power is 40%, move forward at a slight speed, and perform attitude control after four seconds..."
"Landing procedure, first stage...there are still ten minutes before the atmospheric entry point..."
During the war in the outside world, Mebius and Jean fought wildly, with shells flying everywhere.
Boom——
A missile fired by the MA hit the MS cockpit, and then a destroyer's main gun hit the Jean from the side.
Immediately afterwards, another beam of light scattered, and the light of several MAs disappeared into the darkness like a flash in the pan.
Life is scattered in the dark vacuum.
The four X-Series and Gates in the fierce battle received laser communications from the Fesalius.
"What!? The Archangel is landing!?"
Yitzhak, who had just destroyed two MAs, raised his voice in shock and gritted his teeth and said, "What a beautiful idea!"
Then he abandoned the surrounding MA and entered the formation that was tightly surrounded by enemy ships.
"Yitzhak!"
"This guy!"
"Eh--"
From behind, seeing Yitzhak charging directly into the enemy army, Noel and the others sighed and had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow.
Ahead, the destroyer retreated while opening all the gun ports of the battleship to attack.
Countless missiles and beams were shot out.
But these five mobile suits just dodged and avoided as if they didn't take it seriously.
The God of Destruction from the Duel Gundam jumped towards the destroyer's engine.
The Storm Gundam's rocket launcher dug a large hole in the side of the ship.
Gates and Aslan worked together to deal with the chasing troops and missiles in the rear, and Nigel... couldn't see the machine body.
