In the void of space.

A scarred VF171 team is retreating at full speed toward its mothership.

The captain of the VF171 team who led the team still looked frightened while arranging the task of monitoring the enemy situation in the surrounding airspace.

"It's horrible!!"

This thought had been haunting the captain's mind since the battle not long ago, making him afraid to recall the process of the battle just now.

but

But the captain couldn't stop that memory from lingering in his mind, and even kept replaying the unbearable battles in his mind.

Go back a few hours.

The secret order from the New Unification Headquarters of the Earth shocked the vast majority of the new unification fleets stationed on the galactic border, and at the same time, it also seduced the uneasiness in the hearts of some new unification generals who were unwilling to stay in the barren fringe galaxies.

In a short period of time, these restless generals quickly formed an alliance of interests under the constant tandem between you and me.

for,

It was during this event that he got the opportunity to leave the barren edge galaxy and return to the solar system where the Central Army is located, and the credit for taking root there.

I believe that the temptation to save the new president of the United States is a great merit that no one can resist.

It's just...

In a short period of time, a large fleet composed of a new integrated fleet that gathered within 100 light-years of the surrounding area had just completed the basic establishment of the command system, and hurriedly dispatched the reconnaissance fleet and the RVF-171 unit to carry out intelligence espionage missions on the star field where the 203rd fleet was very likely to be entrenched.

However, the 203rd Fleet has not yet been found, and instead the newly formed fleet has found a fleet of anti-unification forces that has been at odds with the New Unification since the age of Earth in a nearby galaxy. Although in the eyes of the new unification fleet, which has assembled a huge fleet of no less than 100,000 warships, this anti-unification fleet, which would normally be treated with caution, is so weak and vulnerable at this time.

However, out of the idea that small achievements are better than no successes, this powerful new unified fleet still divided a detachment of as many as 3,000 ships, including a MACROSS-class capital battleship, many motherships and cruisers, to destroy this anti-integration fleet. Judging from the information detected, the strength of this newly unified detachment is already three times that of the anti-unified fleet.

"This is undoubtedly a war of annihilation!"

In the face of such a disparity in strength, the newly unified generals gathered here joked casually.

But

Strangely, in the face of a surprise attack by the new unified fleet, which was far more numerous than three times its own, this anti-unified fleet, which appeared to be very weak, with only 1,000 large and small warships, and did not even have the main battleships of the MACROSS class, did not dodge or dodge, and put on a tough posture to meet the enemy head-on.

This surprised and puzzled the new unification general, who was waiting to see a good show.

Does this anti-unification fleet have some hole cards that give them the confidence to dare to fight the new unification fleet head-on?

Such doubts existed not only in the hearts of the new unification generals, but also in the hearts of many people up and down the anti-unification fleet, but not in the hearts of Pharos, who was the supreme leader of the Freedom Front. At least he, along with his henchmen, knew the situation in front of him and knew what was going on.

"Captain Ray. I wonder what you think of the battle that will take place? Less majestic, a little more relaxed, Pharos held a scepter with a luxurious pattern, and asked with a smile as he looked at Kreuzer, who had already changed into a white pilot suit.

"I'm just a pilot. I really can't give any opinion about the upcoming fleet war. After all, in my life, I have never experienced a huge battlefield that can accommodate thousands of space warships to fight. Kreuzer smiled and said humbly.

When Pharos heard this, he laughed.

"Hahahaha! Captain Ray, you're joking. I've seen the plan you submitted earlier. Although some of the things are not quite right, overall, it is a good battle plan. If it weren't for Captain Ray and you needed to attack, I would have liked Captain Ray to be by my side as an operational staff officer. ”

"Thank you for your appreciation. It's just that I think that only the battlefield is my home. Staying in the bridge of the flagship is not my ability. Kreuzer modestly declined.

"Really? Then, I won't force you. Captain Ray. There was a hint of pity on Pharos's face, and then he said, "That's right. Captain Lei, don't attack until later. We've got a great gift for the newly unified scum! ”

"A big gift?" Kreuzer raised an eyebrow and wondered.

"Yes, great gift! You'll know when the time comes. Let's get ready to attack! Captain Ray, I'm looking forward to your record! After Pharos nodded, he put down the scepter in his hand, picked up a glass of red wine from the table next to him, and said to Creuzer, "I heard that Captain Ray likes to have a drink. I'll stay here for this glass of wine, and I'll drink it with Captain Lei after Captain Thunder returns victoriously! ”

"It's an honor to be here!" Kreuzer bowed slightly, thanked him, and then turned away cleanly.

What exactly is a gift?

In Kreuzer, who left the room where Pharos was and headed to Gnaku, he had already guessed in his mind.

In the face of the attack of the new unified fleet, which has absolute superiority in both quality and quantity, this anti-unified fleet, which is composed of thousands of large and small warships, is so vulnerable.

After all, this seemingly strong group, but in fact it is composed of a large number of anti-integration forces that cannot even be basically unified in ideas, is just a plate of sand that has been watered and compressed.

"The Red Giant... Or maybe it's the trump card of this illusory anti-unification fleet. ”

Kreuzer stood in the elevator leading to Gnaku, constantly calculating the situation in front of him and integrating the information he had gained during this time. However, one of the most important pieces of information is missing.

How exactly did Pharos be sure to activate the Red Giant lurking in the New Unified Fleet? Could it be that Pharos is behind the spate of Red Giant incidents in recent years?

If this is the case, then it means that the remnants of the Cult of Hope are behind the increasing activity of the anti-unification forces in the surrounding galaxy in recent years.

At the same time as this speculation emerged, Kreuzer was already 80% sure in his heart.

The rest,

It is to obtain the high-level position of this anti-unification fleet as quickly as possible.

this

That's where Kreuzer comes in.

Back in the day

As a clone, Kreuzer was able to stand out among the adjusters who could surpass him in all abilities, and thus rose from green to white who controlled a team, relying on his own skills.

With his helmet in his right arm, Kreuzer stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the VF-29, which was surrounded by a large number of maintenance teams.

that

This is the way Kreuzer was promoted.

At this point,

A vanguard reconnaissance team of two RVF-171s was quietly approaching the right side of the Coalition fleet with a certain amount of rubble.

"Reach the target airspace. Safe. "The leader of this pioneer reconnaissance team gave another order after taking a look at the surrounding environment." The planes entered the position according to the predetermined plan and put the latest information into the fleet. ”

"Understood."

After assigning the mission, the experienced captain quickly chose his own position and began the latest round of intelligence work.

soon

Thanks to the efforts of this RVF-171 reconnaissance team, the fleet, which was in a distance, received information that was reconfirmed and correct.

attack

Coming soon.

WITH TEN, HUNDRED, AND THOUSANDS OF FLORD LEAPS OF LIGHT APPEARING, THE NEW UNIFIED DETACHMENT LED BY MACROSS RUSHED OUT OF THE FLOD LEAP WITH GREAT MOMENTUM AND CAME TO THE FRONT OF THE ANTI-UNIFICATION FLEET.

In the blink of an eye, the dense and fierce artillery fire flooded the airspace between the two, and exploded in bursts of deadly light in the formations of both sides.

laser

gunfire

missile

There are also explosions,

These dazzling and deadly beings become the protagonists of this moment.

Their appearance often coincides with the passing of life.

"Boom."

"Boom..."

Kreuzer sat in the cockpit of the VF-29 early, waiting for the order to attack.

"Captain Ray."

At this moment, Pharos's communication came in.

Kreuzer opened his eyes and looked at the screen. From the screen, it seemed that Pharos was in the middle of the bridge at this time, and the light from the constant explosions in the distance illuminated Pharos's face in a flickering shadow.

"Your Excellency. Is it time to strike? Kreuzer asked knowingly.

Falos laughed, shook his head, raised his hand and pointed to the new unified fleet that was firing overwhelming artillery fire at his own fleet in the distance, and said proudly: "Captain Lei." It's not your turn yet. Until then, take a moment to watch the show. ”

"This is also the key to our victory over the new unification!"

Pharos's words suddenly made Kreuzer's eyes light up, but Kreuzer still nodded calmly, indicating that he had received the order.

For Kreuzer, who showed a calm state, Pharos was not surprised or suspicious, and in his opinion, Kreuzer's current performance seemed to be in line with his impression of an elite ace pilot. So, after giving Kreuzer a little encouragement, Pharos disconnected the communication himself, but did not let anyone disconnect the data link of the bridge.

he

Kruzer wanted to see for himself where the confidence of the anti-unification army was, so that this elite ace pilot would be loyal to the anti-unification army.

"Let's get started! It's time to use the power that adults have given us. Pharos turned his head sideways and looked at the man who had hidden his whole body under the white robe.

"Yes. Excellency. The hood of the white-robed man moved, as if nodding in response to Pharos's words.

Then, there was a surge under the white robe, as if he was taking something.

"Click."

A crisp voice rang out.

The next moment, the overwhelming artillery fire suddenly changed. The artillery fire, which had been overwhelmingly pressurized, began to thin out in the blink of an eye. At this moment, it is impossible to associate the overwhelming artillery fire just now with the sparse artillery fire now.

"It worked!" Seeing this, Pharos shook his fist fiercely. Immediately, he gave a loud order: "Release all the fighters!" Now, it's a great time for us to rise up against the United Army!! At this moment, use our iron fist to give the dregs of the new unity a taste of our persecution!! ”

"Free!! Banzai!! ”
