"Have you not contacted the headquarters yet?"
Arthur asked hurriedly to Abby.
At this time, Minerva has left the atmosphere and is heading towards the lunar orbit at full speed.
"Please wait. I've got it now!"
Abby operated for a while, and was about to open the telegram she had just received, but stopped hesitantly: "But this is... a special order code...!"
"Um?"
Thalia frowned.
Special order——So, the plan to rendezvous with the Lunar Fleet has changed again?
"Gondwana has led the Lunar Orbital Fleet to the enemy's artillery first relay point. The battle is in progress. The Minerva's rendezvous operation has been suspended. Please go to the Daedalus Base, the main body of the enemy's artillery, immediately to join the Yinzhak team of the advance force. Let’s carry out the main body elimination operation together——”
"What?"
Seeing the contents of the telegram, Arthur almost fell out of his seat in shock.
"Subject...then, are you asking us to attack Daedalus Base?"
Thalia's face darkened and she didn't say anything, but immediately called the seven combat pilots to the bridge.
After learning about the change in combat orders, Zhen Asuka and others also looked surprised.
"The main body of that cannon?"
I don't know if there are other reinforcements. Anyway, this is the order the ship received.
Thalia secretly thought that it would be best not to expect reinforcements. Attacking the enemy base with just one Minerva and a Yinzak team would probably be the most difficult combat mission they have ever carried out.
That's a base. Although Yin Zak's team is known as an elite team, its number is too small, and the defensive force facing a base is too weak.
However, he did not change his expression at the sight of the thunder, and his tone was as if nothing had happened: "Indeed, this place is relatively close to the Daedalus base, and it should be the fastest unit to support. This is probably the headquarters' judgment!"
"Yes. At present, our army cannot grasp the energy storage cycle of that thing, so time has become a key factor. This should be the reason why Yinzhak's team set off directly."
To reach the first relay point of the Lunar Fleet, Minerva must circle half the moon.
Relative to the location of the colony, Daedalus is on the far side of the moon. From a distance perspective, it is easier for the Minerva to drive past the space where it is currently located.
"If we can't arrive in time and destroy the main body, it will all be meaningless."
Can't make it in time - Thalia shuddered faintly when she heard herself say this meaning.
Yes.
At this juncture, time is more important than anything else.
If we don't step up, the second bombardment will be launched soon, and the little son who stays in the motherland waiting for his mother to come home may be the next victim.
Then, even if their superiors asked them to attack the base single-handedly, they would have no choice but to do so, not to mention that there were advance troops ahead.
Besides, they don't have to destroy the entire base, they just need to destroy the cannon.
"Our task is indeed difficult. But we must get it done."
Her son's childish smile flashed through Thalia's mind, and her tone became particularly firm at this moment.
They must protect their fellow citizens.
This is a task that only allows success and cannot fail.
"We will reach our target in forty minutes from now."
Thalia looked at the clock and said, then looked at the teenagers: "Preventing enemy artillery fire is an absolute priority - please."
"yes!"
After hearing this, several people saluted attentively and turned around to start preparations for battle.
Daedalus Base.
After this attack, the Daedalus base became much deserted.
The control room, which was originally bustling with people, was now deserted.
"commander."
A man wearing a Union officer's uniform approached Commander Freeman Byron.
"Let's go, there's no need to die for meaningless things."
Freeman Byron, who was sitting in the command chair, waved his hand without much expression on his face.
"But--"
"I'm going to take it with me and leave. It's my responsibility. It's not your responsibility."
Freeman Byron raised his hand to interrupt the man's words.
"yes!"
"Go ahead, the future of natural people will be left to you!"
Under the watchful eye of Freeman Byron, the last batch of soldiers also left the headquarters.
And on the big screen.
ZAFT's lunar orbital fleet has already headed towards the first relay point, Forey.
I saw the space aircraft carrier Gondwana leading a large number of military forces approaching step by step. ZAFT has obviously invested all the combat forces that can be mobilized immediately.
It is natural to make such a desperate move, because if it cannot defeat the enemy in one battle, ZAFT will have no way to retreat.
On the other hand, the Alsace base united on the surface of the moon has also dispatched a fleet and is heading to Forui to prepare for an attack.
After all, the Alsace base didn't know about Requiem's plan to self-destruct.
In their opinion, this is still their base.
And in the early warning radar.
A dark red MS carrying ZAFT's MS troops was almost approaching the base.
"Matisse - I hope you can really do everything you say."
With this thought in mind, Freeman Byron pressed the self-destruct countdown switch.
It’s true that he is a soldier of the Atlantic Federation, a member of LOGOS, and even Blue Cosmos.
But his loyalty is always to natural people.
The solidified class of adjusters and natural persons leaves natural persons with no future.
No matter how much infamy he bears and how many sacrifices he makes, he will bring a blue and pure world to the world.
Over Daedalus Base.
The base's automatic attack system is activated.
Beams and missiles filled the sky, trailing smoke and flying high into the sky.
PiuPiuPiu——
The beam flips and shoots.
The Noel trio crossed and cooperated and moved closer to the base.
From behind, two Nazca-class high-speed battleships were flying at full speed.
"Something is wrong!"
Yin Zak looked at the automatic interception system below and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
There is no defensive force for such an important base.
It's like a ghost town.
If they hadn't determined that the beam of destruction was shot from here, they would have thought they were in the wrong place.
Rumble——
Noel raised his hand and raised his gun to shoot down an automatic beam cannon, but he also looked confused.
This is completely inconsistent with what I expected.
Could this be Durandal's plan? Wushang takes over the Requiem Base?
But is this possible?
But what if this is not the case?
Because things were so unexpected, Noel felt a little irritable.
"Yin Zhak! Let the battleship come over. Regardless of whether it's against it or not, destroy it first!"
Regardless of whether it's right or not, let's blow this thing up first.
"clear."
Yin Zak replied subconsciously and connected to the battleship's communication: "The battleship's main gun is activated, the target is the muzzle of the base below!"
at the same time.
The prototype Destiny Gundam driven by Diaka also raised its beam cannon at this moment.
Eternal Covenant raised his gun with one hand, locking the muzzles of each automatic attack.
In the blink of an eye, the beam and the beam cannon flew together.
The cannon was surrounded by flames.
The two battleships also fired at full power at this moment, pouring artillery fire on the main body of the Requiem.
Woo——
However, Noel and others did not wait until everything was cleared.
Suddenly a siren sounded below.
"Everyone - retreat!"
Noel stood directly in front of the main gun and was the first to notice the fire lighting up inside the main gun.
"Can you make it in time..."
Inside the Minerva, which was about to arrive in lunar orbit, Luna Maria, wearing a combat pilot uniform, felt uneasy and muttered to herself.
Zhen Asuka also clearly feels the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Once either they or the Lunar Fleet failed, the innocent people in the colony would lose their lives, which made them feel even more stressed.
The current battle situation at the first relay point was reflected on the screen.
Although the Union Army is a remnant force, it still has a numerical advantage, and it seems difficult for the Lunar Fleet to show its power.
In contrast to the battleships and the MSs flying each other, the relay space station structure looks even larger.
"God's Coming"
Can our army really defeat that thing?
Zhen Feiniao couldn't help but become worried, but he heard Lei say extremely calmly: "If the Lunar Fleet can capture the first relay point before the second bombardment, the colony will be able to escape temporarily. However, if the opponent's If the energy storage is completed relatively early, even the fleet will be finished!"
Hearing Lei's words, Zhen and Lunamaria couldn't help but feel scared.
Lei asked coldly: "You should know what kind of person is holding the trigger, right?"
"Yes, of course...!"
Didi didi——
Before Luna Maria and others could finish speaking.
Suddenly a communication call came from the security room: "Level 1 combat readiness has been lifted!"
"ha?"
"Um?"
Luna and others looked shocked.
And inside the bridge.
Thalia and others were stunned as they looked at the fire rising into the sky in the distance.
Mission - completed?
