“Bal**—launch!”
Ma Liu looked at the speeding machine and quickly ordered an attack.
"boom--"
However, facing the Archangel's attack, the black mobile suit pilot, Neo, skillfully controlled the MS to flip and avoid the attack, and came to the Archangel's safe zone.
As the muzzle on the head of the Hunting Gundam's body expanded, the beam began to gradually condense.
"boom--"
Suddenly, just as the beam cannon in the black MS's mouth was about to be fired, with a flash of machine shadow, the Freedom Gundam flew over and kicked it away.
Kira gave up the support from the forward position and chose to help the Archangel instead.
"Wow——"
Before the members of the Archangel could take a breath, something suddenly broke out of the sea from behind the Freedom Gundam.
Another mobile suit with a strange shape jumped up from the sea, raised the huge scythe in its hand, and instantly cut an Obno frigate next to it into two pieces.
"The fourth one?"
The attacked ship sank into the sea almost in the blink of an eye, which shocked Ma Liu and others.
That sharp knife that cuts through iron like clay is reminiscent of the Death Scythe.
This mobile suit in the sea is based on khaki color. There is a piece of armor on the back that looks like a carapace. Together with two extended shields, it covers three sides of the torso like a screen.
There is a long cannon barrel on the inside of the two shields, which is installed about the shoulder blade of the body. The upper edge of the vehicle also has a protrusion that looks like a muzzle.
These four MSs all retain some of the characteristics of the G series, but each has extremely specialized performance.
The giant sword Calamity with enhanced melee combat, the Forbidden Gundam for underwater combat, the Calamity Gundam with long-range cannon fire, and the Hunting Gundam with the ability to transform and fly.
Four MS, four characteristics.
"Earth Army..."
Kira controlled the Freedom Gundam, looking at the four machines below and having a bad premonition.
Although the Gundam carrying the giant sword was stopped by the Strike Gundam, which slightly eased the Earth Alliance's offensive, it was only a slight relief.
The attack capability of that gun-carrying Gundam is too terrifying. Compared to the M1 Heretic Gundam that Orb belongs to, it is completely on two levels.
Orb—maybe he can’t hold on anymore.
"Bang bang——"
The sudden attack interrupted Kira's musings.
Kira looked down and saw that the black body that had been kicked away by the Freedom Gundam had regained its balance and fired at him with the beam cannon in its right hand.
"The legendary nuclear power machine, it's really a bit tricky -"
Neo couldn't help but mutter as he watched the Freedom Gundam flip around to avoid the beam and counterattack at the same time.
However, the movement in his hand did not slow down at all. The beam rifle quickly attacked and threw the destructive hammer in his hand.
The Freedom Gundam looked at the flying hammer and turned to avoid it. A weapon of this quality might not be able to withstand it with a shield.
"boom--"
The Freedom Gundam's two plasma beam cannons were opened, and fierce fire was directed towards the Hunting Gundam.
Neo quickly turned around to avoid it, and a friendly warship behind him was accidentally sunk.
Looking at the friendly troops who were accidentally injured, Neo couldn't help but joked: "Ouch - I'm really scared to death..."
"What!"
"boom--"
However, Neo was not happy for long, and before he could even finish his words, the Freedom Gundam in front of him suddenly flipped and crashed in front of him, turned around and kicked the Hunting Gundam solidly.
The violent impact kicked the Hunting Gundam directly into the sea.
"Wow——"
Before Kira could be happy, a machine holding a scythe suddenly emerged from the seawater below the Freedom Gundam.
"boom--"
Opening the shield, several beams of light shot out from the opponent's open shield.
Seeing this, Kira couldn't help but shrink her pupils, and hurriedly piloted the Freedom Gundam to do a backflip to avoid the attack. At the same time, he activated the plasma cannon, aiming directly at the center of the Forbidden Gundam.
"Shua——"
"What? The beam - twisted?"
Something happened that shocked Kira. The beam that hit him was actually bounced off the opponent's shield, as if the beam had bypassed it. It was extremely weird.
"Haha, that's it?"
Shani sneered and charged towards the Freedom Gundam with a scythe in hand.
Last time, if it weren't for that guy's physical sword, my shield seemed to have been damaged by the beam sword.
"You're just like that damn guy! You both deserve to die!"
Shani was suddenly furious, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared and turned into rage.
This guy's body and that guy's body seem to be from the same batch, so this guy and that guy are the same damn thing!
Looking at the Gundam that was rushing toward him, Kira shot to block it while retreating to observe the battle situation around him.
His goal is very clear. Killing the enemy is not the key. The main thing is to help Orb stabilize the front.
But many times plans cannot keep up with changes.
There was a sound of water breaking.
The Hunting Gundam, which was kicked into the sea by Freedom, also flew out of the ocean and joined the encirclement and suppression of the Freedom Gundam.
Also joining them was the Disaster Gundam, which was suppressing fire not far away.
The Strike Gundam with its Wing Backpack was completely suppressed by the sword-equipped Calamity.
————
At the same time, while the battle on the Orb battlefield was in full swing, the Kapantalia base not far from Orb was peaceful.
Countless ZAFT soldiers sat in the dining room and lounge and watched the battle scenes comfortably, and occasionally pointed out the shortcomings of the other party.
Or exclaimed because of the operation of the Freedom Gundam.
Noel, who was wearing a red uniform, was also among them, but unlike the others who were comfortable, Noel's expression was slightly serious and a little confused.
Wasn't the Hunting Gundam destroyed by me?
It has been shattered into space debris, why is it still here?
Could it be that just like the Blue Heretic, I didn't kill the driver?
But that shouldn't be the case. He had indeed cut off the cockpit. Did the three little strong men really become immortal little strong men?
And that Strike Gundam, wasn't Mu La Flagg shot down by me that day? Can you still survive after Air King exploded?
If it's not Mu La Flagg, then who is driving this Strike Gundam?
It’s really a ghost. Why did I become the successor of the Mercy Knife inexplicably?
Numerous questions filled Noel's mind.
Now there are two more machines than I expected, so the bomb I dropped—could it have collapsed with me?
Just when Noel fell into self-doubt due to hunting and attacking, a ZAFT soldier beside Noel couldn't help but tugged on Noel's sleeve and said: "That machine is called Freedom Gundam, right?"
"Um?"
Noel was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and quickly nodded and explained: "Well, yes, it's called Freedom Gundam, and it's a new Gundam produced at the same time as the Covenant."
It's not a secret that the Freedom Gundam was stolen, nor is it a secret that it was stolen from the same era as the Covenant Gundam.
"Tsk, I really don't know what those people from the Klein faction are thinking about all day long!"
"Such a powerful machine is actually given away at any time. It's a pity that I thought Siegel Klein was a good guy before..."
"To be honest, Lux did go a bit too far this time."
"No, no, no, I think Lux was most likely dragged out to block the gun. Think about it, how could Lux enter a hangar of this level? She even gave away the Freedom Gundam. This is completely Unreasonable.”
"That's right. Lux does not look like someone capable of treason."
"Shit, I just don't think Lux is a good person!"
"I think Lux was wrongly accused, or was affected. After all, how dare a little girl do such a thing?"
"I think she does."
"I don't think there is anything!"
"Stop talking nonsense, didn't Lux say not long ago that she was completely at odds with Speaker Sarah!"
"When did you say that? Why didn't I know?"
"I said it through the radio, but to be honest, what Lux said still makes some sense. This thing about war - eh."
"······"
Listening to the soldiers' discussion, Noel's evaluation of Lux couldn't help but improve again.
With Sara's faction almost completely controlling the council, there are still people who are willing to side with Lux - I have to say, Lux Klein's speech ability is really terrifying.
Moreover, this is the army, and there are such voices among the troops who are fighting on the front line every day. You can imagine the situation inside.
