When Xiao Ran took Stella and the three of them into Orb, he did not put on the mask he always wore. A masked person walking on the streets of Orb would attract more people's attention, but If Xiao Ran just walked onto the street, he would inevitably be surrounded by people.
Although Xiao Ran has not appeared in Orb for two years in this world, Xiao Ran's photos can be seen everywhere, especially now that most civilians in Orb are against Cagalli. Even if there is no photo, Xiao Ran can still see it. Everyone knew it, and there was no one in Orb who didn't know Xiao Ran. What's more, a statue of Xiao Ran still stood on Orb's main island. If he really went out without concealing it, it wouldn't be long before he came back. It will definitely spread to the entire Orb.
So Xiao Ran still found a mask and put it on his face. Compared with masks, masks are more common and extremely ordinary. They are often used for allergies, colds and other illnesses. At the same time, they can also play the same role as masks. cover up.
When Xiao Ran and the four of them entered Orb, the news on the roadside had already broadcast the news that the coalition fleet had appeared outside Orb's territorial waters, and Orb had not yet received any notifications or warnings, leaving this Orb shrouded in a mystery. There was an atmosphere of dullness, worry and fear, more of a confusion about the present and the future, and awe of war. Groups of people gathered in front of different signboards in Orb City, watching in silence what was happening in the news. Play everything.
And Xiao Ran also stood in the crowd with a mask that made it impossible for anyone to recognize him, watching all this. Behind him stood Stella, Oru and Sting like guards. However, compared to Xiao Ran's Although calm, the three of them looked a little bored.
After listening to the sound on the news, Xiao Ran shook his head and turned to the three of them and said: "You can move around freely, but remember not to cause trouble. It is ten o'clock in the morning. We will meet here at ten o'clock in the evening."
Orlu nodded excitedly: "I know Neo, don't worry, we will never cause trouble."
Xiao Ran nodded, rubbed Stella's hair, and said: "Follow Sting and Oru and have a good rest. I will pick you up in the evening."
"Yes." Stella also smiled brightly. After Xiao Ran nodded to the three of them, he turned and left the place where at least a hundred people gathered. After walking out of the crowd, he looked around and finally chose a direction. Just drive away and leave.
Orb is an island country. The entire territory on the earth is made up of islands of various sizes, and the scope of its territorial waters is also not large. Therefore, you can stand on the coastline and witness with your own eyes what is happening on the sea at this time. Everything was fine, but when Xiao Ran drove to the edge of the island, he found that the coastline had basically been blocked, and Orb's news media, large and small, had followed the blockade and pulled out a long line. News trucks were parked everywhere. In addition to the news trucks, there were also many Orb citizens who drove to this place in person, making it difficult for Xiao Ran who was driving the car to get through. He could only leave the car and continue on foot. forward.
At this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded from the dense crowd, and then many people were heard shouting that a ship was coming out and the fleet was dispatched.
Hearing the shouts ringing in his ears, Xiao Ran also raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up, but except for the countless people gathered in a long row of dense crowds and the backs of their heads, it was really difficult to see more people on the coastline. situation, if you want to see clearly what is happening over there, you must either stand further inside, or stand higher. It is impossible to stand further inside and see this situation. Everyone is moving towards Drilling inside, then Xiao Ran can only have the second choice, to stand higher.
But when he looked up, he saw that many nearby vehicles were also full of people, and many of the surrounding trees were almost full of people. Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran helplessly shrugged his shoulders and pushed away with all his strength. The person in the front had some difficulty getting in front of a news vehicle, jumped up, and stood on the roof of the vehicle with a little effort.
The news truck was already high, and Xiao Ran could now stand high and see far. He could clearly see everything happening on the sea. At this time, the Minerva had come out of the port, followed by a fleet of Orb navy. , and in front is the coalition fleet that has long been prepared to intercept. The Orb and coalition fleets completely sandwiched the Minerva in the middle, and based on the current situation at this time, it is impossible to see the coalition's In addition to the general Wendham arrangement, does the fleet have any other preparations
Of course, Xiao Ran naturally knew that the Alliance had invested in a new type of space-space dual-purpose weapon in this battle, with a large-scale missile capable of blocking the Minerva's positron cannon. What Xiao Ran really cared about was whether there were any participants in the Alliance. will join the fight.
Looking around, Xiao Ran arranged for Ai Xi and the four of them to help the Minerva leave Orb, but at this time, the four of them must have been hidden and have not yet appeared. The only thing that is certain is that the four of them are far away from the Minerva. It's definitely not too far away, but Xiao Ran is still a little unclear as to where it is hidden, but the most likely possibility is to hide it under the sea.
When the Minerva was gradually forced out of the territorial waters by the Orb fleet, a battle between a single warship and a combined fleet also began. In the original plot, Xiao Ran seemed to remember that the combined combat forces did not send too many troops this time. There are many MSs, but what is happening in front of us is not like this. Not only did the Alliance directly dispatch new MAs, but also many MSs. The number is definitely more than 20, if not thirty. Compared to Minerva The combat power of the only three MS currently available on the ship can be said to be several times greater.
Using several times the combat power to deal with three MSs on one battleship also seems to indicate that the coalition's attitude towards the Minerva is inevitable. From Xiao Ran's current position far away from the battlefield, he can see the sky in the distance. Beams flying everywhere, MSs coming and going, and countless splashes caused by cannonballs, but judging from the current situation, the Minerva is already at an absolute disadvantage, because in addition to the Pulse Gundam, the Minerva The two Zakucos on the tiles have no ability to fly at all, but the MSs sent by the United side all have such abilities. One side can only defend passively, while the other side has great strategic detours. This The outcome of the battle seemed predictable.
And everything that followed was almost what happened in Xiao Ran's memory. The Minerva used the positron cannon Tanhouse against the federal fleet, but in the end it was completely destroyed by the ma that seemed to have no effect at all. After blocking it, except for a burst of water mist that could not dissipate for a long time, the coalition forces did not suffer any damage.
The participants that Xiao Ran expected to appear did not appear in the battle. Everything was proceeding according to the established trajectory without much change. When the Pulse Gundam was trapped by the Union Army's ma, Ashe and others The bodies of the four people also broke through the sea from below and flew into the sky.
All four machines are G-series machines. Although they are different from the G-series machines in this world, each one has its own characteristics, but you can still see that some of them belong to the characteristics of Strike Gundam, and these Each machine has the ability to fly. As soon as it appeared on the scene, it directly caused the United to lose a lot of MS. The Pulse Gundam seemed to suddenly go berserk, directly killing the MS with strong defense and rushing to the United. On top of the army's battleship.
The battle has continued like this, and it can be said that the victory of the Minerva has been established. The Pulse Gundam jumping on top of the Union warship has the possibility of free attack, and for the Union's MS, not only must be prepared for sudden The four machines that emerged were also unable to attack the Pulse Gundam standing on the joint battleship.
The coalition lost a lot of warships in one fell swoop. Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran wanted to leave right away, but as soon as he turned around, he heard the tidal wave of exclamations from the crowd again, which made him turn around again. , four or five aircraft that had never appeared in this world fell from the sky and intercepted the four-person aircraft in front of Ai Xi and others. At the same time, the remaining people attacked the Pulse Gundam that was being destroyed in the fleet. This scene also immediately made Xiao Ran He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Hmm, Sky King Gundam, Age Gundam Type 1 or two? Mass production or prototype? There are also two unknown models. Are they modified machines?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and gently touched his chin. : "By the way, even if they are all newcomers who entered with me, so many missions have passed now. Some participants with potential will join the legion or receive special rewards. Gradually, they will also join the legion." There will be more and more modified machines and high-definition machines, and it will probably become more and more difficult to obtain information easily from the appearance of the machine."
Xiao Ran squinted his eyes, and felt shocked when he looked at the two modified machines in the distance. The greater the modification, the harder it would be to identify it at the first time, so as to get the information belonging to that machine, and if it was so big that even the company He couldn't tell the difference at the first time, so it would be harder to obtain information about the machine. After all, although many machines looked similar in appearance, they were still very different on the inside.
Just like whether there is PS armor or not, it is impossible to tell during battle. If you only have one chance to hit the opponent at a critical moment, the opponent can also hit you at this time. Whether there is PS armor or not causes The difference is very big.
For example, from the i position, it is also impossible to detect from the appearance. If it is a prototype machine, Xiao Ran will naturally know whether the opponent has such defense means, but if it is a high-definition machine or a modified machine, he cannot Being separated for a while will have an impact on the subsequent battle.
It will also prevent Xiao Ran from directly judging the level of the machine, and the role of the detection skill will gradually become apparent.
The two machines that appeared today can be regarded as a reminder to Xiao Ran. In addition to the advantage of understanding the plot, the advantage of understanding the machines will gradually decrease as the mission world continues. When the participants grow up, More or less, they will undergo a high degree of transformation of their own bodies, which will eventually transform them into completely different bodies from the world they were born in, and become new bodies with independent characteristics.
Because the distance was too far, Xiao Ran could tell that it was the Sky Overlord. The two Age Gundam Type 1 and he could be sure that the three machines did not exceed the C level. It was already the limit, and the two modified machines wanted to It was difficult to determine the level at the first time. The distance between the two machines completely exceeded the range of his detection skills.
This made Xiao Ran frown slightly. He could only carefully observe the movements and performance of the two machines to judge the levels of the two machines based on experience. If it was confirmed to be a B-level machine, Xiao Ran would probably turn around immediately. He rushed back to the Archangel as soon as possible and piloted his own machine to fight, not for anything else but to protect these four newcomers who had just joined the legion.
Fortunately, the movements of the two unknown machines did not reach the level of the B-machine. Judging from Xiao Ran's current experience as a B-level pilot, it can be judged that one of the machines can compete with the Pulse Gundam at this time. The fact that you come and go but don't have the slightest advantage can explain everything. The two sides are still at about the same level. Even after the outbreak of Zhen Feiniao, they are still slightly at a disadvantage, which shows the strength of the other party. This also makes Xiao Ran slightly relaxed. Take a breath.
The targets of the participants that suddenly appeared were not on the Minerva, or they appeared too late, so they had no choice but to protect the remaining strength of the combined fleet as much as possible.
Appearing at this time cannot completely reverse the disadvantage caused by the four Eshes and the Pulse Gundam. The original coalition fleet is now considered a big defeat, and the participants who appeared have also teamed up with the four Eshes, the Pulse Gundam and others. Evenly matched, if we include Lunamaria and Lei's backup, the current coalition forces are still at a disadvantage.
If the battle really continues, even with the help of these participants, the Union Army will still not be able to defeat the Minerva. In addition, the other party will definitely be able to confirm the identities of the four participants in Ashe, unless there is a main line Due to the direct conflict between the mission and the side mission, Xiao Ran estimated that the possibility of the other party finding an opportunity to leave would be greater than the possibility of continuing.
According to Xiao Ran's speculation, the possibility that the other party has a mission is very small. After all, if there is a mission, the average participant will definitely go out to fight as soon as possible to be safe, and will not choose to show up at this time. (~^~)
