(Seeing the book friends talking about the group, Yi Zui started a book group. The group number is 197703028.)
The departure of the Archangel was inevitable. Xiao Ran didn't want to, Kira didn't want to, and Mirialia and other students didn't want to either. But even if they didn't want to, the ship still drove out of the dock slowly and unstoppably.
In the bridge, Ma Liu sat in the captain's seat, looking at the man wearing a mask with only his mouth exposed through the monitor screen. A trace of warmth flashed in his eyes, but then he became firm again, and said quietly in his heart: "Xiao Ran, I believe everything you say, but this is my responsibility. I must take the Archangel to Alaska to fulfill my responsibility. If it is like what you said, the Archangel has become an abandoned son and a You hit the target and were betrayed by the Earth Army. If I am still alive after that day, I will be with you at all costs and never be separated."
Taking a deep breath, Malu showed his attitude as a captain, put aside all the love between children, and said loudly: "Archangel, move at full speed out of Orb's territorial waters, aiming for the Alaska base! All crew members are 2 Level combat preparation."
"Advance at full speed to leave Orb's territorial waters, target the Alaska base, notify the entire ship, and prepare for level 2 combat. Second Lieutenant Kira and Major Mu head to the waiting room."
Baji Lulu repeated Ma Liu's order loudly, and turned her head to take a deep look at Xiao Ran on the screen: "Xiao Ran, this time I will prove you wrong, and then I will stand in front of you. Let me tell you loudly that you are a coward who is afraid of death. If anything happens like you said, I will fulfill my mission. If you die unfortunately, I hope you can live a good life for us Orb."
Mu stood on the terrace of the Archangel, leaning against the rope railing while enjoying the sea breeze. He let the wind blow his hair and looked up at the sky. The dazzling sun made him squint his eyes slightly: "Major Xiao, am I not doing this?" Even if you know that there are tigers in the mountains, you will go to the tiger mountains. If I help you protect Ma Liu, you have to thank me properly. At least Bucky Lulu will not rob her, ha... "
Kira put on a combat protective suit and sat in the cockpit of the Strike Gundam. He also equipped the Strike Gundam with a flight backpack that had been modified with the technical support of the Shuguang Society in advance. There was almost no difference in appearance. The only change was It is to allow the flight backpack that was originally only used for gliding to truly soar in the sky.
He held the two operating levers tightly with both hands, lowered his head and said silently: "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I have to wait until the war is over before I can fully return to you. Teacher, please help me take care of my parents, thank you. You have always helped, encouraged and supported me. Aslan, I know you are waiting for me, and I will definitely protect the Archangel this time!"
When the sailing horn was sounded, Xiao Ran also saluted the Archangel with a standard military salute while standing on the top of the hillside of the bunker outside the dock. It wasn't until the Archangel slowly became smaller that Xiao Ran showed a helpless smile: "What a group of troublesome guys, they are stubborn as hell."
Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Ran turned around and got into the car. After starting the car, the car rushed out like flying. The phone in his hand also dialed a number at the same time: "Director Simmonds, are you ready?"
"Are you sure you really want to go? I really don't understand why Lord Asghar would agree to your request."
"You have known about ZAFT's people sneaking in for a long time, and now they are waiting outside the territorial waters. I can't just watch something happen to the Archangel." Xiao Ran said firmly, with a tone that was unquestionable. : "And because the Archangel will definitely belong to Orb, we must not let it sink now."
Erica was silent for a while and said: "Is it worth taking the risk of exposing that we have mass-produced mobile suits for an uncertain ship?"
"Actually, you also know that the so-called possibility of exposure does not exist at all. The appearance of the black heresy at this time will not attract the attention of other parties at all. After all, the black heresy and the red machine have appeared long ago, right?" Xiao Ran said There was silence for a moment, and then he said: "And the Archangel and Strike Gundam can deal with the enemy, so naturally I won't show up."
"Well, anyway, Master Asha has agreed to your request to attack, so I have nothing to object to." Erica's rather helpless voice reached Xiao Ran's ears: "But you have to remember, once you If any problem arises, we will not admit your existence. The machine is ready and ready to attack at any time."
"I know, thank you."
When Xiao Ran stood under the dark heresy, what he was wearing was not the pilot uniform belonging to Orb, but a black gold-rimmed pilot uniform that did not belong to any force. The slim design made Xiao Ran unconsciously The taller figure appeared, holding the helmet in his left hand and grabbing the lifting rope with his right hand, slowly rising and then jumped into the dark cockpit of the Heretic.
Sitting in the machine, Xiao Ran pressed the button to start the machine, and the light in the cockpit also lit up the cockpit along with the Orb machine's startup interface.
At the same time, the outer armor of the machine that originally looked dull gradually turned into a pure black color. Some of the different jet-black heretics that were originally almost completely black now had some golden stripes embellishments, just like the pilot uniform Xiao Ran was wearing. , making the originally dark heretic look like he was a noble person.
"The Black Heretic, you can start the attack procedure." When the voice of the factory control center staff sounded in the cockpit, Xiao Ran also stepped on the pedal and pushed the operating lever in his hand: "Roger, the Black Heretic, Xiao Ran, The attack procedure begins."
The dark heretic walked down from the restraint frame with mechanical steps until he reached a large red circle in the center of the factory. The area where the circle was drawn began to rotate and rise, and then stopped after about a minute. Xiao Ran, who was in the cockpit, also saw a long launch channel through the screen, and sunlight slowly appeared at the end of the channel.
When Xiao Ran drove the Black Heretic and stepped on the ejection pedal of the launch channel, and after making all preparations for the attack, he connected to the control center: "The Black Heretic attack procedure is completed, Xiao Ran, the Black Heretic, attack!"
Pushing with both hands, the recoil caused by the ejection made Xiao Ran lean on the backrest. Even with his current physique, he could not ignore the powerful force of the electromagnetic ejection in an instant, but his extraordinary physique also allowed him to There will be no discomfort with such a powerful force.
As the ejection was completed, the propeller behind the Black Heretic suddenly lit up, and with the help of the high speed of the ejection, the Black Heretic quickly rushed into the sky, following the route of the Archangel that appeared on the panel.
The thrusters behind the black heretic are fully activated, and the speed can almost reach the speed of a large jetliner. This is because of the constraints within the atmosphere and the inherent limitations of the MS shape. The speed is limited to this level. To change If it were in the universe, Xiao Ran absolutely believed that the speed of the current Dark Heretic was even much higher than that of Lightning Jean.
This feeling of high-speed flying makes Xiao Ran feel bursts of joy. Moreover, once the flight reaches the corresponding speed and altitude, the energy consumption will also decrease linearly. For the energy reserves of the dark heresy at this time, it is not considered at all. What's the problem? It can be said that Xiao Ran is very satisfied with the flight backpack.
By the time the Dark Heretic chased the Archangel, the battle between the Archangel and ZAFT had already begun. They were suspended far in the sky. After seeing the scale of the enemy through the monitor screen, Xiao Ran's expression suddenly changed. He felt heavy: "It's like this every time. The number of enemies that appear completely exceeds the number that should appear in the plot. Last time in North Africa, it was because of the storm and the duel that I couldn't exert my full strength. There was no connection with Strike Gundam. Any direct battle did not interfere with Kira’s battle.”
What appeared on ZAFT's side were two submersible aircraft carriers, three Deans, two underwater MS Gurn, and the four Gundams, Holy Shield, Storm, Duel and Thunder that had been chasing the Archangel.
Xiao Ran also frowned tightly: "If I hadn't been more careful this time, the Archangel would have faced four Gundams, five other mobile suits, and two diving aircraft carriers when it only had Strike Gundam and Sky King." Maybe it’s really dangerous.”
At this time, the four Gundams were flying towards the Strike Gundam that had already launched an attack, each riding an unmanned auxiliary aircraft GPU, and were already in a situation of encirclement. The three Deans completely ignored the Strike Gundam and circled the Archangel in one direction to surround and contain the Archangel. There were two Gurns in the sea that would pop up to attack the Strike Gundam or the Archangel from time to time, not to mention that there were also Two diving aircraft carriers are watching eagerly.
As for the Archangel, only the Strike Gundam has already launched an attack. It would be difficult for Mu's Air King to choose to launch an attack based on the current situation. If Dean did not launch an attack before Dean surrounded the Archangel, otherwise after being surrounded or being approached by Dean, once The opening of the hatch will definitely attract the attention of the three Deans, and the opened hatch will definitely be hit by concentrated fire. If you want to continue to attack at that time, not only the Sky Overlord will be in danger, but the Archangel will also be in considerable danger. .
"The Sky Overlord must come out first." Xiao Ran squinted his eyes, glanced at the screen, and finally aimed at the three Deans that were rushing towards the Archangel: "At least two of them must be killed in a sudden attack."
After deciding on the target, Xiao Ran operated the Black Heretic to turn on all the thrusters at full power. All the thrusters were not only the thrusters on the backpack, but also the main thrusters and jets of the body, behind the sword gates on the legs. The two propellers, the jet nozzles on the legs and the propellers on the soles of the feet, plus the propellers of the flight backpack, were turned on at full power and still dived down. The speed in an instant almost made Xiao Ran salivate. When it came out, the speed was so fast that it completely reached subsonic speed.
