"Launch interference bombs, MS troops are ready to attack!"
Along with Thalia's order.
The Minerva fired its first shot.
"sensor……!"
The missile exploded in front of the Archangel, and the heat source sensing screen of the Archangel suddenly went blank.
Jammer bombs have special warheads that spread heat energy while detonating.
Radar is no longer useful under neutron interference, and heat source sensors are the eyes of the battleship.
Now the Archangel is almost completely blind. In the mountainous terrain like multiple screens, their vision is so narrow that it is difficult to move forward.
"Left rudder 20, lower altitude!"
Bucky Lulu immediately ordered.
The missile just now was obviously not sent by the Compton ship chasing behind, so——
Missiles are approaching! 】
"The automatic attack system is on!"
Missiles in the sky came like rain from behind the mountain peaks that blocked the view, grazing the Archangel's armor and hitting the surrounding mountain walls, causing the ship's hull to shake violently.
The helmsman tried hard to stabilize the ship while watching out for the approaching mountains on both sides.
The Lord Angel's speed did not slow down, and it quickly rounded the cliff and suddenly spotted the huge gray ship.
"—Minerva!"
Bucky frowned subconsciously.
They saw the Minerva rushing straight towards them, and the critical white light of the ship's secondary guns, but she had no time to shout out her instructions in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, before the cannon fire was fired, the helmsman used all his strength to suddenly push the helm to the bottom.
The Archangel suddenly turned to the right, and Bucky Lulu, Fleur and the others were almost thrown out of their seats.
Immediately afterwards, the beam of light passed over the bottom of the ship, which tilted sharply to the right, and blasted a large hole in the mountain wall behind it.
"He's a guy who shouldn't be underestimated."
Thalia couldn't help but sigh when she saw the actions of the Archangel.
As a battleship that has survived since the last war, in addition to having enough pilots to escort it, the capabilities of its battleship crew are also extremely important.
Soon, the Archangel began to counterattack.
The main gun was activated and missiles fired.
Warships from both sides launched a bombardment around the snow-capped peaks.
"Discover MS heat source!"
Inside the Main Angel, the radar detector quickly gave a report.
On the screen, six MSs flew away from the Minerva battleship's gate and flew in the direction of the Archangel.
Zaku Phantom, Pulse Gundam, and the Savior——
The menacing look made Baji Lulu and the others feel nervous.
"Meiling, open the international rescue channel."
Thalia's voice suddenly sounded.
"Ah...yes."
Meiling was confused at first, and then operated the communicator.
Thalia picked up the phone and said, "I am the captain of the ZAFT warship Minerva - Thalia Kuradis!"
"This ship is being ordered by the command to sink your ship."
"However, if your ship and all the carrier-based fighters on the ship are willing to stop fighting and surrender immediately, then the ship will also stop attacking."
Faced with Thalia's abrupt behavior, Arthur and others were dumbfounded.
Thalia herself was a little surprised, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with this behavior.
The Archangel has demonstrated its position with actions on the Berlin battlefield.
When the decisive battle with logos is about to begin, one's own side should do everything possible to find friendly forces.
ZAFT lost the power of legendary pilot Noel Cassia, yes, lost it.
Noel Cassia, who was imprisoned for the experiment on enhanced humans, could not be released during the Logos crusade. With the loss of a legendary ace, how many ordinary soldiers are needed to fill a Destruction Gundam?
When the battleship's main guns are lost, Destruction Gundam can only use MS troops to attack it. In this case, the power of elite ace pilots is necessary.
So if possible, she hopes to get the power of the Freedom Gundam.
Besides, there is another person on board the Archangel—Frey Alstar.
Her power is also what ZAFT lacks at this stage. At least with her joining, the crusade against logos will be more justified.
As for the order.
The command from the headquarters was indeed to sink the Archangel, but as an AIT, I had the authority to make discretionary decisions on the spot. Why not exercise this right now?
"The warning is only valid once, and no further requests for negotiation will be accepted!"
She deliberately spoke harshly and set out conditions, then paused: "I hope your ship... can make a wise judgment."
Inside the Angel of the Lord.
"captain--"
The crew looked subconsciously at Bucky Lulu, the person who brought them out of the 'Zaft Prison Camp' and fought all the way until now.
Bakilulu frowned slightly when she heard this, and then looked at Frey Alstar.
Fleur fell silent.
This request——
At this moment, a signal sounded at the cic correspondent's side.
"It's Kira."
Soon, the communication was connected, and Kira appeared on the screen wearing a driving suit.
"Freedom Gundam requests an attack!"
Kira's face appeared on the screen.
Faced with Fleur's doubts, Kira continued in a firm tone: "No matter what the future holds, as the will of the United Earth's peace, you must not fall here!"
"Kira——"
Fleur felt bitter in her heart when she heard this, the will for peace on earth? Own?
"Let me strike."
Kira continued.
He still remembers Durandal's original words; 'What we sincerely hope for is a peaceful world where wars will no longer occur. '
'...Therefore, the power that hinders this wish must be eliminated! ——I hereby solemnly declare that we will fight against the real enemy logos in the world! '
Indeed, those who manipulate people's hearts and instigate killing for their own gain are extremely evil.
But can what Durandal did be called a good deed?
He will continue to display the atrocities of the alliance in front of the world, expose the shady interests involved, and will point out the mark of evil to the world.
What do people think when they see this message?
——The answer is clear as to what form their anger will take and where it will be directed.
As the culprit of all this, Durandal's behavior is the same as Blue Cosmos.
Manipulating people's hearts and instigating killings - this is completely Logos's consistent approach.
And that Lux standing next to Durandal——
Of course, he is not saying that eradicating logos is wrong, but he always feels that there is something weird about it that people can't let go of.
There was no particular reason, he just had this feeling, and it was a very strong feeling that made him unable to trust Durandal.
There is some kind of irrationality that makes the world turn according to the situation set by Durandal.
That's why he hurriedly sent the Lord Angel to Orb, because that was where everything began for him. If his expectations were different, everything would be beautiful and the world would be peaceful.
If his feeling is right, then Orb may be the only place where he can gain a foothold.
As for Hills Sati, it was a more dangerous place than Durandal.
"I understand, but if things must go wrong, please stay alive!"
Fleur nodded, she would not go against Kira's wishes.
"I will."
Kira finished speaking and hung up the communication with a smile.
At the same time, the main angel gate slowly opened.
The Freedom Gundam with five wings rushed out of the battleship.
The muzzle flipped, locking all six of ZAFT's MSs, with full firepower and a beam of light covering the opponent.
The Lord Angel also started its engine at this moment and accelerated towards the sea.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Shin Asuka looked at the sudden attack, and Takama Toro rushed towards it in the Pulse Gundam.
Behind, four Zaku Phantoms also raised their guns and shot at the Freedom Gundam.
"Kira..."
Aslan sat in the cockpit, looking at the battlefield on both sides with sadness in his heart.
Order - Enemy -
Why do people with the same goal have to draw swords against each other?
Why those who desire peace must become enemies.
Why do we keep meeting each other in this way?
Countless whys and doubts hit Aslan's nerves.
Yes, the military's orders are absolute. Kira is his best friend, a former comrade-in-arms, and a like-minded companion.
But he chose Earth United!
And the one he chose was ZAFT——
"If this is our fate, then let him end here completely——"
While muttering, the Savior Gundam's engine roared and rushed over.
Get the beam saber.
The Savior Gundam joins the battle forcefully.
Stab——
The Freedom Gundam raised its shield and passed by the Savior Gundam.
The beam particles lingering in the snow seemed particularly dazzling for some reason.
"Kira!"
As Aslan roared, the Savior Gundam turned around in an instant, and the beam saber suddenly swept towards the Freedom Gundam at an incomprehensible angle.
Kira felt sad in her heart when she heard Aslan's filial piety.
But some things must be moved forward even if it hurts!
