883 Sacrifice
As the blue planet slowly rotated, on the other side of the darkness, a little flash of light was appearing in the airspace that was gradually illuminated by the light of the sun. When you look closer, you can see that these points of light that glitter in the sunlight are actually steel warships with a fierce momentum. Looking at the overall situation, this is undoubtedly a space fleet with incomparably powerful power.
In front of this fleet, there were three giant warships of different shapes arranged in a zigzag formation. Located at the front of the pinzig formation is undoubtedly the super battleship MACROSS Phoenix from the world of Macross Fortress. The appearance of the giant battleship on the rear right side of it is clearly different from the Phoenix in front of it.
And the most obvious place is undoubtedly the peculiar shape. From the front, the sharp bow, the lines of the hull that stretch out to the left and right, and the hull that rises inward like a ladder give the impression of a stretched triangle. In addition, the tall (river crab) bridge makes people feel a little weird, and there is an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
In addition, in addition to the purple paint that exudes a strange atmosphere, this giant battleship that resembles a long triangle has a series of light patterns on its hull that make people look like a strange beauty. At the same time, with a little concentration, you can see a golden streamer quickly swimming along the edge of the light pattern.
Suddenly, the strange light streaks suddenly surged. In the blink of an eye, the light patterns that had covered almost the entire hull of the ship actually shrank rapidly. It quickly shrank from the extent of covering the entire hull to the sides of the hull, giving up a large area of hull space. And what happened next can explain the reason for the sudden abnormal movement of these light patterns.
I saw that the straight rays of light occupied the vacant space vacated by the light pattern in a blink of an eye, and quickly outlined a square on this large vacant space. In an instant, the squares outlined by the light parted from them, and the thick pieces of outer armor were opened, revealing turrets that were hidden inside the hull.
The next moment, with the roar of machinery, these turrets with thick barrels rising up and down rose from the inside of the hull into space, and under the control of the supreme command, they pointed forward in unison.
"The armament deployment is complete, and the whole fleet confirms the order."
A command was transmitted by the quantum network and instantly conveyed to the entire fleet.
"Mission confirmed. Armament deployment is complete. Hmph, King Kong. WHY NOT THE SHAPE OF THE CROSS YOU LIKE THIS TIME? A somewhat immature, but very proud voice sounded for the first time.
"Oh? Musashi? It's my freedom to evolve what form I evolve. But you, why did you evolve the same shape of a battleship like me? For this question, King Kong did not explain, but kicked the ball back lightly.
"Really? It's just a coincidence. Musashi took a look at the warships that he had evolved, which also had triangular hulls, but there were obvious differences in paint, and he smiled and revealed the matter without a trace.
"Hmm. Then, it's time to act. KING KONG DIDN'T MEAN TO PURSUE MUSASHI EITHER, AND AFTER CONFIRMING THAT ALL THE SHIPWIVES WERE READY, HE SENT A CONFIRMATION ORDER TO THE CROSS PHOENIX IN FRONT OF HIM.
The next moment, a terrifying pillar of light that seemed to be able to disperse this incomparably dark void in an instant suddenly tore through the void, swept under the fleet that appeared in the shadow of the earth, and shot straight into the distance, the tragic battlefield (river crab) located in the outer orbit of the moon.
——————
"The Fifth Fleet is destroyed! The airspace in front of our mothership is lost! ”
"The Ninth Fleet is in a rupture, retreating, and gathering its remnants. Commodore General, they ask for support!! ”
The bad news flew through the sky and made Kati's thin shoulders even heavier. If before the war, Katie had a shred of certainty about the war, now Katie has almost lost all certainty.
And now, all Katy can do is try to maintain the situation on the battlefield and make it as stable as possible. Although this is now considered difficult to achieve.
But even so, Katie still forced herself to make the most important decision. "Let the Fifteenth Fleet support the Ninth Fleet."
"But, but if the Fifteenth Fleet leaves, our Celestial will have to face the attack of ELS!"
Kati suddenly stared at him and scolded angrily: "We have no rear in this battlefield anymore!" Inform the whole army that all MSs, battleships, and even fleets that are able to receive orders to assemble as quickly as possible towards the mothership, the Celestials. ”
Katy paused, raised his hand to the picture on the main screen, and firmly pointed to the ELS on the screen and the moon-sized mothership and issued a decisive declaration: "Judging from the current battle situation, we will definitely lose this battle." Tactics, strategy, even hope, these things that can bring us victory, we don't have. ”
"But, we are soldiers! Born to fight against enemies, against death! As long as we can complete the mission and be able to protect the citizens and relatives who are hiding behind us. What is it to die? ”
"Gentlemen! Behind us is the Earth! Standing behind us, under our protection and protection, we are citizens, relatives and sisters! In this mortal end......"
"Who, dare to go to Huangquan with me and the enemy!"
Katy's declaration of death was instantly broadcast to the entire fleet, including Ptolemy II, the Celestial Gundams, and Graham's Courage Squad, who had just arrived on the battlefield and joined the battle.
"Death declaration? Hey, hey. Is the commander of the Federation fleet going to have a lot of fun? Upon hearing Katy's declaration of death, Deloon, who had just rescued a cruiser from the large ELS, couldn't help but complain. Because he knew that according to the plan, support from the Phoenix fleet would soon arrive. At this critical juncture, what exactly is the commander of the Federation fleet doing?
"Brother, what's wrong?" The Hellangel who released all the GN fangs landed behind the Power Angel Gundam after sweeping the circle, and Lyle's voice rang out.
"Heh, nothing. Well, Lyle, come with me. Lockon smiled, but suddenly pulled the bewildered Lyle out of the fiercely fought airspace.
After Katy's death-defying declaration, the speed at which the Federation fleet gathered the remnants of the fleet increased considerably. Even in the process of gathering, a large number of remnants will emerge from the melee, unswervingly protecting the Celestial Mothership with their wrecked bodies.
"Alpha 3! Fast! Go back and repair the supplies! Your current situation is no longer able to cope with the situation on the battlefield!! Andrew piloted his landline and stopped in front of a dilapidated Doom IV that was in tatters, if not a tattered piece of iron. In his opinion, the difference between the body in front of him and the broken metal was only an extra engine that could propel it forward.
"Huh. Is that you? Son of the Wild Bear. I know you. Hehe, you have a good father. The pilot of the broken Doom iV didn't take Andrew's words for granted, but asked him to get out of the way.
"Alright. Get out of the way! I'm going to get on with the mission! ”
"But, but you're over the limit!" On this battlefield, following in the footsteps of his father Sergei, Andrew has seen too many pilots sacrificed. Some of them were devoured by ELS before they had time to leave the mech, some were self-destructing with ELS, and some even frantically launched a desperate attack on ELS knowing that they could no longer fight.
And the doom IV in front of us is the latter. The strange and familiar atmosphere, the daunting and painful madness.
"Get out of the way." The icy and frantic voice rang out again.
"Nope." Andrew categorically refused. Looking around, there were already more than a dozen scarred friendly planes retreating towards the mothership not far away under the cover of their teammates.
“……”
This time, the pilot didn't speak, and directly expressed his meaning with actions.
The moment the red light armor was draped in the tattered Doom IV, the Doom IV disappeared in front of Andrew's eyes in the blink of an eye, dragging several afterimages.
"Boom!"
There was a tremor behind him, and the screen in front of him popped up with a sign of loss of signal.
"Damn! Damn it! Andrew's eyes lit up with hatred. Why didn't he hold the pilot just now, as long as the pilot was willing to go back, he would soon be able to change to a new airframe to fight.
"Lieutenant, what are you doing there? Come and help! At this moment, Sergei's voice came.
Andrew, who was about to vent his anger on ElS, had to respond: "Yes! Lieutenant Colonel Smirnov. ”
However, just as Andrew was flying towards Sergei and them, a large ELS suddenly burst out of the exploding smoke not far away, and pounced on Andrew's landline like a thunderbolt.
"Be careful!"
Before Andrew could react, he saw a red glow out of the corner of his eye.
"Bang!!"
The violent collision slammed Andrew's plane out of the air. In that shaky shot, Andrew was surprised to see a very familiar Doom IV Commander appear in his original position, which shocked Andrew even more, and even panicked that most of the body of the Doom IV had been wrapped in the large ELS, leaving only the right hand stretched out in the direction of Andrew's and the exposed head.
"Why?" I don't know why, Andrew subconsciously asked this question.
Then, a murmur sounded, it was Sergei's voice. "Because I'm a soldier. It is the responsibility of the superior to help his subordinates. It is the duty of a soldier to help his comrades-in-arms. So, don't care...... Other than that...... I ......"
Halfway through Sergei's voice, the signal was cut off, leaving only the meaningless murmur and the head and right hand that had been rapidly devoured.
The next moment, a pillar of light broke through the air, and in Andrew's dull gaze, the large ELS that had already devoured the Doom-type IV Commander was reduced to ashes.
