Chapter 150: The Awakened Blade (2)
The fierce battle continued, and the unfavorable situation of the Zaft army changed when the Gamow brought the Archangel into the effective range of the main guns.
Although the main gun of the Archangel was already firing at a very large angle, it was impossible to fire at the Gamow directly behind due to the obstruction of the rear of the hull.
AS A RESULT, THE ARCHANGEL COULD ONLY USE THE BARIAN 110MM CALIBER RAILGUN AT THE STERN OF THE SHIP TO RETURN FIRE IN THE ARTILLERY BATTLE, AND THE FIRE SUPPORT OF THE MONTGOMERY IN ADVANCE COULD ONLY REACH THE ARCHANGEL, NOT THE GAMOW FURTHER BEHIND.
This made the Archangel's side appear very passive, as their escort force was already very reluctant to stop the three 'G's', and they had no strength left to attack the Gamow.
I don't know if it's the shit luck or Gamov's gunner is so powerful, the 937mm caliber beam cannon scored two consecutive hits against the Archangel in a short period of time.
Fortunately, the Archangel's stacked armor has excellent beam resistance, otherwise Captain Mariu would probably have abandoned the ship at this time.
However, these two consecutive hits prevented the Archangel from starting to take an irregular evasion movement, and at the same time, it found the main gun angle in the evasion process and counterattacked several times, but unfortunately the hasty shooting did not achieve any results.
However, fortunately, after entering the unruly evasion movement, the Archangel did not continue to be hit by the Gamow's main gun.
However, this irregular movement greatly reduced the speed of the Archangel, and at the same time made the anti-aircraft fire installed on the hull unable to target the storm and thunderbolt well.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the storm firepower forced the Zero and the Raptor to stay away, and then Thunderbolt used his mobility to break through the anti-aircraft fire of the Archangel and successfully landed on the deck on the side of the bridge of the Archangel.
The concussion caused by Thunderbolt's continuous shooting caused everyone on the Archangel to panic extremely.
"Kira! Kira! Come back! The Archangel number is entangled! ”
In a panic, CIC's Mirialia directly crossed the command level and sent a request for reinforcements to Kira, who was fighting on the front line.
"Archangel!"
Kira saw that the Archangel who was 'veneer**' by Thunderbolt was in danger, and her heart was violently turbulent.
Then he entered a mysterious and ethereal state, as if the flow of time around him had slowed down.
"How can I get you to sink the Archangel!"
Kira easily dodged the duel's slash with a strong attack, and then gave the duel a sword at his waist, but because it was an attack in high mobility, he didn't give a fatal blow to the duel equipped with PS armor.
After injuring the duel, Assault quickly got out of the duel and rescued the Archangel, which managed to dodge the duel's beam gun fire with a few small swings.
After approaching the Archangel, he forced Thunderbolt away with a strong sword, and then made up for a knee.
At the moment when Thunderbolt lost his balance, he took out the small short knife on his waist and turned around to plunge into the opponent's waist while dodging the slash of the duel that came after him.
Since the PS armor in this part had been ineffective in the attack just now, the short knife was smoothly inserted into the body, causing damage to the interior of the body, causing an explosion that even affected the cockpit, and the fragments from the explosion shattered the pilot's helmet and caused damage to Yitzhak's face.
Due to the wounding of Yitzhak and the approach of the Eighth Fleet, the three Gundams had to temporarily retreat.
Seeing the Zaft army retreating, Kira breathed a sigh of relief and drove the assault to a stop on the deck of the Archangel.
The crew of the Archangel, who had survived, cheered loudly in the bridge.
"How did this kid become so powerful?"
Mu piloted the Zero back and asked Yura in the communication.
Yura smiled and didn't answer the other person's question.
This is the beginning, and as the number of battles increases, this shy young man will become more and more powerful until he becomes an ace pilot who can control the war alone.
Just now, Kira got rid of the duel, returned to the Archangel, repelled the thunderbolt, and injured the duel.
This set of operations is as smooth as flowing water, showing the potential of ace pilots.
This makes Mu and Yura, who are struggling under the heavy fire of the storm, look like two salted fish who can only shout '666'.
"It seems that even with the support of the system, it is impossible for me to catch up with my brother-in-law's combat ability."
Seeing that Kira's stats had improved once after this battle, Yura had to sigh in her heart.
——————
The battle ended, and the Archangel and Montgomery smoothly merged with the Eighth Fleet.
After the Archangel was incorporated into the Eighth Fleet formation, it stayed near the Menelaos, the flagship of the Eighth Fleet.
A few minutes later, Halbarton, commander of the Eighth Fleet, boarded the Archangel on a shuttle.
The main crew of the Archangel greeted the fleet commander in the hangar, and Yura and other Orb personnel were also in the queue.
Halbarton first exchanged pleasantries with Captain Mariu and the other command of the ship, and then came to Jura and stretched out his right hand, "Long time no see, Councilor Ceran." ”
"It's been a long time, Admiral Halbottom." Yura shook her hand with a smile on her face.
Halbarton glanced at one of the Orb personnel behind Yura, and then ordered, "Captain Ramias, prepare a conference room, we need to discuss the arrangements for these Orb students." ”
"If you don't dislike it, arrange it in the captain's room." Captain Malu replied.
"Please, Councilor Ceran." Halbarton said to Jura.
Jura glanced at Kira and the other students behind him with anticipation in their eyes, and he knew that these students were now pinning their hopes on themselves.
Speaking of which, the identity of Kira and his friends is also quite embarrassing, originally a student of Orb, but in Zaft's attack, he accidentally came into contact with the raid and was taken in and guarded by Captain Marliu, and then spontaneously helped on the Archangel in Zaft's pursuit, and Kira became the pilot of the raid.
Now that the Archangel has finally merged with the Eighth Fleet, Fleet Commander Halbarton has the right to influence their disposition, which gives them hope of leaving the battlefield and returning to a peaceful life.
Now that Jura, Councilor Orb, has been invited to talk about these things, Kira and his friends naturally pin their hopes on Yura.
Jura gave them a reassuring look, and then followed Halbarton's pace.
