The troops attacking the Minerva on the Allied Forces side seemed a little overwhelmed after the Archangel entered the center of the battlefield. The mobile suits surrounding the Archangel made the senior officials of the joint fleet feel confused when they saw it. Extremely sad and angry.
Crimson Forbidden, Pitch Black Strike, Chaos, Abyss, Gaia, True Red Holy Shield, Emerald Storm, Black Thunder, Blue Duel, Strike Gundam, and even the Archangel itself is engraved with the mark of the union, except for Chaos, Abyss , except for the Gaia Three Machines, the rest of the aircraft, including the battleships, were all built by the joint hands. Even the Chaos, Abyss, and Gaia Three Machines were only wrested from the hands of Zaft after they invested manpower and material resources.
Originally, these machines should belong to them and be part of their war power. MS should fight for unity, but now they have all become the enemy's. Seeing that what originally belonged to them represents other countries showing off their power in front of their eyes. , that kind of feeling is really infuriating.
However, the intrusion of the Main Angel did disrupt the combat deployment of the Allied forces against the Minerva. As a result, the pressure on the Minerva was suddenly reduced a lot, because the Main Angel blocked it in the middle. Due to this relationship, in addition to being able to bypass the Main Angel's MS, the other side's warships cannot continue to suppress and attack the Minerva with firepower, otherwise they are very likely to hit the Main Angel in the center.
Although the Union and Orb are now hostile, apart from the previous battle, both sides still appear to be relatively rational. Of course, this is also the reason why the Union does not have the extra troops and combat power to deal with Orb, and in addition, both sides still have When negotiating the issue of prisoner handover, they appeared to be relatively restrained in dealing with issues on both sides.
Orb was unable to take the initiative to attack due to the restrictions of neutral countries and it was inconvenient to attack, while the alliance was because the captives were already worried about completely pushing Orb to Zaft and were unwilling to further complicate the situation, but the appearance of the Lord Angel , although there is no intention to actively attack, but the posture can make people understand that it is clearly helping Zaft's Minerva, and it has also released so many special machines in advance, posing as if it's someone who touches me. , the attitude of just touching anyone made the United side feel humiliated and angry.
And although there is only one battleship, the Archangel, the coalition does not dare to underestimate the combat capabilities that the Archangel and the MSs guarding around the battleship can exert. Once the combat power of the Archangel and Minerva If their combat power is gathered together, the attack on their force targeting the Minerva will be devastating.
In the Dawn Gundam, Mu Ye carefully looked at all the surrounding situations from the cockpit screen of the aircraft. When he saw that the coalition's offensive had slowed down due to their appearance, he nodded slightly and communicated through the opened communication. Bucky Lulu landed on the bridge and said: "It seems that the Alliance is indeed very wary of us, but we can't always stay like this. Although we don't care if we offend the Alliance, from our position we can't without justifiable reasons. It’s okay to go too far and be biased, but we can’t really enter the war.”
Baji Lulu picked up the microphone at hand and said: "I understand this. Unless we jointly launch an attack, we must not have any attack intentions. The most appropriate thing now is to hope that the warship can seize this opportunity and leave immediately." here."
"Oops, it's really troublesome." Mu shrugged and said: "Actually, the last time Orb was attacked by the coalition, it already put the coalition and us in a hostile position. Even if they want to attack them, it makes sense. If you ask me, we can directly unite with Zaft and teach them a lesson. It’s actually not bad to have a joint meal, but we have to make some twists and turns in this way and that.”
Baji Lulu did not deny what Mu said, but she also disagreed with him. She just said calmly: "This is politics. Although I don't know what you are thinking, but I still don't want to make a decision that will make you and Mrs. Obut It’s more appropriate to do things passively, at least it’s not an opportunity yet.”
Mu Hehe smiled, shook his head and said, "So, I am only suitable to be a warrior, not a politician."
"Be careful. This is a battlefield after all. Don't be distracted by thinking about things you shouldn't think about. As a soldier, you only need to do what you should do." Bakki Lulu put down the microphone in her hand and turned to face Cic next to him said: "Notify the Minerva and ask them to evacuate immediately. We will delay here."
"Yes, Captain." Cic nodded, and immediately began to contact the Minerva not far away, sending Bucky Lulu's words to it.
Although the Main Angel and a small area nearby seemed peaceful, there was still a chaotic battle outside this area. Even though the coalition's warship bombardment path was partially blocked by the Main Angel, their MSs were It has the ability to fly, and the ability to bypass the area where the Archangel is and continue to attack the Minerva.
Even without the support of warships from the rear, there are now quite a few coalition MSs surrounding and attacking the Minerva. It is just that the pressure is much less than when the Lord Angel did not enter the battlefield. At this time, Minerva In addition to the real Pulse Gundam and Aslan's Savior Gundam on the Wa, they separated from the battleship itself and were fighting with the Union Army's mobile suits in the sky. They were also piloted by Heine who flew out of the Archangel. Three slot machines, but at this time they were also restrained by Wendam whose number was at least ten times greater.
On the battleship, the two Zakus, one white and one red, were basically used as the Minerva's defensive turrets because they did not have the ability to fly. The five aircraft were unable to do anything against the large-scale coalition mobile suits. To be able to intercept all the coalition MS attacking the Minerva battleship, and at this time, the outer wall of the Minerva has also suffered a lot of damage. From what Bucky Lulu saw on the screen, at least There were no fewer than five fire points, and thick black smoke was still billowing into the air.
On the Minerva, Captain Thalia already had the idea of evacuating immediately when the Archangel entered the battlefield, but there were a lot of MS surrounding the Minerva, and the battleship was damaged. It was also a bit serious. Relying only on the Zaku Warriors and Zaku Phantoms left on the battleship, it would be difficult to evacuate immediately when surrounded by dozens of MSs.
The entire Minerva was surrounded by beams of light and fire snakes, and the explosions of missiles made the ship continue to shake uncontrollably.
And after the appearance of the Archangel, although the Pulse Gundam destroyed many Union MSs at once as if it had taken medicine, it also made the Pulse Gundam move closer and closer, almost as if it had penetrated into the Union MSs encirclement. Even the Savior Gundam and Flame Tiger who were responsible for supporting were implicated, which made Captain Thalia anxious and helpless at the same time.
Especially after hearing the first mate Arthur repeat the message of the Lord Angel, he also punched the armrest of the chair, gritted his teeth gently and said: "Arthur, let Zhen and the others come back immediately and prepare to evacuate here."
"Yes." Arthur nodded hurriedly, turned around and began to contact the real Pulse Gundam, Aslan's Savior Gundam and Heine's Flame Tiger.
"MS appeared on the side and rear, number three!" Following the report from the radar control in the bridge, Windam of the three combined forces also detoured to the rear of the Minerva during the battle, and Captain Thalia did the same. Immediately reacted: "Automatic defense against turret attacks, anti-beam mine blasts, and missile launches!"
As soon as Captain Thalia's voice fell, four or five automatic turrets on the outer armor of the battleship changed direction and began to attack the Wendhams behind the three detours. At the same time, almost seven or eight missiles were also launched from the missiles. The weapon flew out and flew towards the three Wendhams.
This is not the first time that the Minerva has been attacked from behind by the enemy in this battle. Although the rear and bottom of the Minerva are considered the weak points of this battleship, it does not mean that the Minerva does not have it. The ability to deal with enemies in the rear.
Three of the missiles flew at different angles, and exploded without hitting the target. After a burst of white light, they turned into starlight and scattered near the rear of the Minerva, and the three missiles Taiwendam's attack originally had little effect when it hit the Minerva due to the anti-beam coating. After the three anti-beam mines exploded, there was no way to continue attacking the Minerva. .
Not to mention that there are still several missiles and three fire snakes attacking the three Windhams. The three Windhams seemed relatively calm in the face of the Minerva's attack. First, they aimed at a few missiles. The flying missiles launched a few attacks and dispersed in one direction.
Perhaps they ignored the role of anti-beam mines. The original attack on the missiles did not have the desired effect at all. The beam flew not far from the muzzle and was directly dissipated by the influence of anti-beam mines. Several missiles As the three machines spread out, they chased after the target they had locked.
The three Wendhams had to evade the pursuing missiles and dodge the fire snakes launched by the Minerva's automatic defense turret, especially since they were originally not far from the Minerva. Attacks from two directions were not easy for these mixed-level pilots. Only one of the three aircraft escaped intact from the Minerva's attack.
Of the other two, one was directly hit by a missile and exploded into a cloud of sparks in the air, while the other finally escaped from the area of effect of the anti-beam mine and successfully destroyed the missile, but was struck by several fire snakes. It swept sideways from bottom to top, with countless sparks and bullet holes appearing. The death of the pilot on the spot also caused the machine to lose control, and it began to fall downwards with black smoke and flames. (.)
