But at this time, Tatsumi Holly also withdrew his shield.
boom--
As a heavy sound came from the front of the shield, the machine piloted by Tatsumi Holly was swept away.
However, with this retreat, Tatsumi Holly barely escaped the melee attack range of the M1 Heretic.
At least the other party is not within reach.
“Bad habits kill people——”
Looking at M1 Heretic Noel who was out of the attack range, he couldn't help but smile.
Originally, I wanted to use the railgun to bombard the enemy at close range and then use the fire cover to kill them directly at close range.
As a result, he suddenly forgot that he was driving something other than the Covenant Gundam.
The M1 Heretic does not have a magnetic rail gun, and the power of both machines is exactly the same, so once the other side leaves the melee range, it is really out.
"call--"
Ahead, Tatsumi Holly, who was sweating profusely in the cockpit, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The most difficult part of melee combat is that you have to pay attention to the opponent's attack behavior at all times. Unlike long-range combat, a single oversight in close combat can be fatal.
Of course, it is useless if there is a problem with positioning during a long-range battle, but the pressure between the two is different.
In long-range combat, you can make use of the body's performance and reflexes to make up for it, but in melee combat - if you make a mistake, you will die, and the only way to make up for it is to come back in the next life.
"How was your rest?"
Feeling the increasingly clear feedback from the body, Noel couldn't help but ask Tatsumi Holly.
Even though he fought so hard with him, it was pretty good that he could persist for so long, and Tatsumi Holly's fighting instincts were very good.
This will save him a lot of detours.
"anytime!"
Tatsumi Holly quickly replied after hearing this.
"Then-"
"Senior Noel!"
Before Noel could finish speaking, Tatsumi Holly suddenly interrupted Noel.
"What?"
Noel, who was just about to speed up, was stunned for a moment.
"I want to see the real gap between us! Please don't hold back, Senior Noel!"
Tatsumi Holly could feel the feeling coming from the opponent's body, which was similar to showing mercy.
"--you sure?"
Noel was stunned for a moment. In fact, he didn't hold back at all just now.
To be honest, the reason why I keep my hands is because I am not familiar with the machine body, so some of the movements are not quite right, and the threat level is not that strong.
But it can’t be said to hold back.
But, if you say you didn’t hold back at all, that would be false. After all, this is a normal state.
"For sure - those who cannot recognize themselves will never be able to move forward!"
Tatsumi Holly spoke his life credo out loud.
"Is this so——"
Noel felt the firmness in Tatsumi Holly's words, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Can’t you recognize that you will never be able to move forward——
In this case, we can only satisfy the other party, and Noel is also a little itchy.
With the slightest excitement, Noel's eyes gradually closed as he took a deep breath——
Da~
The ripples of water droplets falling onto the lake surface spread from my mind——
When he opened his eyes, the whites of his eyes were filled with light red, and his pupils were as narrow as needles——
At this moment, the discomfort caused by the control of the M1 Heresy also disappeared.
“Warm-up—over!”
boom--
Following Noel's cold reminder, the M1 Heretic Gundam's engine output reached its maximum, and it rushed forward towards Tatsumi Holly with knives in both hands.
Looking at the m1 heretic rushing towards him, Tatsumi Holly felt a sense of fear in his heart for some reason. It was an unspeakable feeling, as if the other party was a different person.
"Let me see the gap between us!"
But the feeling disappeared as quickly as it came. As Tatsumi Holly roared, the orange-painted M1 Heretic held a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand and rushed forward.
呲——
As the firelight scattered, two machines passed by each other.
Then both sides turned around and rushed towards each other again.
Bah, bah, bah——
In an instant, the two machines flashed across each other, causing countless sparks to fly.
"This - are all the little devils so scary now?"
Mu La Flagg felt like he was in a dream.
How come any kid can fight Noel without losing?
What does this leave me, the guy shot down by Noel, to do?
Judging from the battle scenes in the sky, Noel was obviously fighting seriously, but he was stopped by that kid——
However, no one at the scene answered Mu La Flag's doubts.
Just silently watching the battle above.
Finally, about fifteen minutes later——
"Stop, there is no need to continue fighting."
The slightly complicated voice of Ya Orito Kio slowly came out.
"There is really no need to continue fighting."
Aslan's voice followed.
As the voices of the two fell, the two machines in mid-air gradually stopped moving and slowly landed downwards.
Soon, the blue-painted M1 Heretic cockpit opened, and Noel, with some sweat on his face, took the elevator and landed on the ground.
"You are too cruel."
Mu La Flag looked at the aircraft that had not opened the cockpit for a long time, and couldn't help but said to Noel who was walking towards him.
He was horrified when he saw the battle just now.
After hearing this, Noel turned and looked at the orange-painted machine body with a slightly solemn expression: "Maybe you should go up and try with him. Sometimes it doesn't matter if I don't want to hold back."
Lux, Aslan and others also came over.
Several people looked at each other, glanced at the orange-painted machine body in the distance, nodded to Miyazaki Orito Kio, and left.
After all, they are outsiders, and some things are better left to their own people.
"How's it going?"
Ken Noland Souse looked at Ya Orido Kio who was walking towards the heretic machine, and silently picked up the headset and connected it to the console inside the battleship.
Do you really think Tatsumi Holly can get the military brass to issue such an outrageous order?
That must be impossible.
The main purpose of their coming here this time was to conduct a practical test with Noel Cassia.
Of course, Tatsumi Holly didn't know about this.
After all, a simple-minded guy like Tatsumi Holly might have revealed all the details of the matter as soon as he came here.
Strictly speaking, only Ken Noland Souse knew about this matter.
Even Masaki Orito Kio only found out about it later.
"The number of cockpit hits - three, the number of serious damage to the aircraft body - five, the number of minor damage to the aircraft body - six."
The person in charge of the console responsible for recording data spoke in a somewhat complicated manner.
The data he reported was the real-time data of the battle between Tatsumi Holly and Noel Cassia.
As for why there were cockpit hits, it didn't stop either.
Except that this is not an actual battle, and there will be no situation where the aircraft body is damaged and unable to fight anymore, so after the cockpit is damaged, the aircraft body crashes by default.
There is also the purpose of collecting Noel Cassia's combat data.
So after the cockpit hits, the database will restart data recording——
Then I got this unacceptable data.
Three deaths in fifteen minutes meant that when Tatsumi Holly faced Noel, he would be killed by the opponent in about five minutes.
Five minutes—
Tatsumi Holly and the others are elite troops that Orb spent a lot of effort building.
As a result, one of the pilots was defeated after five minutes against Noel Cassia.
This blow——
