The situation was indeed very unfavorable for the Eighth Fleet, as expected by Bucky Lulu.

The attacking Zaft army had only four warships, two Nazca-class and two Lauraxia-class, but each one was replenished with a fully loaded MS and pilot, including four Project 'G' Gundams.

These troops were originally sent by PLANT to search for Lux's whereabouts, and now that Luxs has been protected, the remaining combat forces are under the temporary command of Kreuzer under the orders of the army headquarters, and are responsible for stopping the landing plan of the Archangel.

Because of the need to cover the landing of the Archangel, in the face of the incoming Zaft warships, the Eighth Fleet could only set up a formation with its back to the earth.

Due to the gravitational pull of the Earth, this puts the Eighth Fleet at a disadvantage.

Such a situation is like fleet warfare in the age of sails, where the Eighth Fleet, which is more affected by gravity, is equivalent to meeting the onslaught of Zaft warships with a tailwind in a headwind.

When the warships of the Zaft Army arrived at the engagement range, they released the MS forces in turn, and the four Gundams pounced on the Eighth Fleet.

At the same time, the Eighth Fleet released MA troops to meet the attack, and the battleships maintained a dense box formation, using high-density firepower to prevent the approach of MS troops.

At first, the Earth Army was able to rely on its numbers and dense formations to fight well with the Zaft Army, but as the four Gundams began to rely on PS armor to wreak havoc in the MA group, more and more GINS broke through the MA group and began to attack the battleships of the Eighth Fleet.

After Zaft suffered several GINN casualties, gaps began to appear in the combined dense formation.

The Gundam to which the four Zafts belonged took advantage of the situation to burst into the formation of the Eighth Fleet, stirring up a storm of death.

"Get out of here, Strike Gundam!"

The first blue heavy artillery battle Gundam took the lead, and it was the assault corpse duel piloted by the white-haired Itzhak.

"Yitzhak, don't go too deep."

Seeing that the duel was too far ahead, the cautious Aslan couldn't help but say a word to remind him, he was a little worried about Yitzhak, who was so impulsive in the battle even though he was injured.

Yitzhak snorted coldly and retorted: "What is there to be afraid of this kind of target. ”

As he spoke, he easily shot out a wounded Morbius and returned home.

"It's really big targets." Tiago manipulated the storm and used a large-caliber beam cannon to penetrate a Drake-class, "Cool! ”

"If you're afraid, don't follow." Watching the pierced Drake-class turn into a brilliant firework in the explosion, Thiago whistled lightly, and then followed the duel ahead.

"Do you hear that?" Itzhak yelled, "Coward, go back to the mothership for me!" ”

Now Yitzhak is not in the mood to care about the feelings of his teammates, his wound from the attack is still faintly painful, and the pain keeps reminding him that he must find revenge on the attack.

"Aslan, what should I do?" Nikkor, who had just broken a Drake-class ship in a sneak attack using the Mirage system, asked.

Faced with his wayward teammates, Aslan had no choice but to abandon a Nelson-class that was about to be shot down by himself, "to help them." ”

The Holy Shield and Thunderbolt hurriedly prepared to follow, but unfortunately they were dragged by the Eighth Fleet that reacted, and gradually separated from the duel and storm in front of them.

——————

Archangel number Gnaku.

Yura, who was on standby in the Raptor Wing, watched as the Eighth Fleet was crushed by the Zaft Army in a short period of time, and four Gundams played a decisive role.

If it weren't for these four Gundams, the Eighth Fleet would never have collapsed so quickly.

Yura, who wanted to preserve the strength of the Eighth Fleet as much as possible, sent a message to the bridge asking for battle.

However, when Captain Marlu rejected it, Yura immediately joined Kira and Mu to put pressure on Maru, and at the same time secretly contacted Bucky Lulu to persuade her.

This is done because Jura knows that although Malu has various advantages, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, she pays too much attention to human feelings, and if she makes good use of it, she can easily shake the other party's decision.

For example, now, under the surging emotions of the ship, Marius, as the captain of the ship, thought twice and agreed to the request of Yura and the others to attack.

However, Malu immediately contacted Halbatons to obtain permission to land early, and at the same time made an appointment with the attackers to return at a time.

"Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes later, you're coming back anyway."

Malu's consent was expected by Jura, and fifteen minutes was a time to show that she could do a lot of things with these three machines.

The Archangel began to break away from the Eighth Fleet formation and enter the landing procedure.

Yura piloted the Raptor and set off after the assault, and as soon as she left the Archangel, she felt the effect of gravity on the control of the air.

Seeing that the attack in front of him flew far away with an acceleration in order to get rid of the shackles of gravity, Yura had to remind Kira, "Hey, Kira, don't leave the Archangel too far, be careful that you won't be able to go back." ”

"Got it." The assault sped up again and flew towards the front line, and I don't know if Kira's kid listened to it.

"Hey, the Zero in this gravity state is really heavy." Mu complained, who set off at the end: "In this case, if you use the line barrel cannon, the body has no power to move." ”

Seeing that the Raid had flown a little farther, the Raptor and Zero had to speed up.

It felt like it had only been flying for less than thirty seconds, and there was an artillery bombardment from the Zaft army.

As soon as Jura pulled the bird of prey away, she saw that the storm was wreaking havoc everywhere with heavy fire, and the duel had already found a strong attack.

"Cut, has the Eighth Fleet been breached?" Mu said in surprise.

"There should only be these two machines, the duel will be handed over to Kira, we will drag the storm, that guy is too destructive to the battleship." Jura said to Mu.

"Understood." Uncle Mu agreed to Yura's proposal.

Three MS and two MA formed a group in the battle between the Archangel and the Eighth Fleet.

After two of the four Gundams were held back, the breakthrough power of the Zaft army was greatly reduced.

Although the Zaft army has a large advantage in the field, now that the duel and the storm are dragging down, facing the final defense line formed by the Eighth Fleet centered on the flagship Menelaos, it has become impossible for the Zaft army to break through the Eighth Fleet in a short time.

Seeing that the Archangel was methodically carrying out the landing procedure, the Gamow of the Zaft Army carried out a death assault.

The target is the flagship of the Eighth Fleet, trying to die with the Menelaos to create opportunities for the comrades behind them.

In the face of the menacing Gamow, the Menelaos, with its back to the Archangel, did not give in, and prepared to engage in a medium- and close-range artillery battle with the enemy ship.

Yura's heart jumped at the sight of this, and he decided to take the risk to help the Menelaos.

The storm that was contained by him and Mu was already at the end of the crossbow, after all, the other party consumed a lot of ammunition and energy when breaking through the formation of the Eighth Fleet.

"Mu, the storm will be handed over to you." Yura drove the Raptor into the Gamow.
