Chapter 173: Shirou Amada: Triple Kill
"Thisβthis is ...... The Federation's new space battleship - the Archangel? "Under the guidance of his wounded Union Force colleagues, Shirou Amada arrives at the battleship-making facility hidden beneath the Akebono Society.
At the same time as learning about the development of a new type of Gundam by the Obuti Federation Army, the Zado Army also learned about the development of this new space warship, but considering the gap in strategic value between the "high-performance MS" and the "high-performance battleship", as well as the feasibility and convenience of snatching it, they decided to take only the MS and destroy the battleship on the spot.
Their attack on Heliopolis began with the destruction of the facility, but they miscalculated the ship's sturdiness and killed only a large number of Union soldiers, while the damage to the ship itself was acceptable. When Amada arrived, he saw a white battleship floating crookedly among the piles of rubble and scrap metal.
"Hey, is anyone still alive?" With a slight force under his feet, Shirou Amada floated towards the white battleship in the weightless environment.
The hatch of the Archangel opened, and a weak-faced Federator with a weak face without the majesty of the superior floated out, and asked nervously, "What, what person?" β
"I'm Shirou Amada of the Federal Army, what's the matter? Is there anything I can do to help? "Amada Shirou is very glad that he carried his non-commissioned officer card with him when he attacked, and it is better to throw it as evidence at this time than to say that there is no evidence.
"Yes, Second Lieutenant Amada!" After checking the documents slightly, the other party immediately returned a military salute, although the 'second lieutenant' is also the grassroots leader in the federal army, but he is only a 'sergeant', and his military rank is not as good as Amada Shirou, "The situation is very bad, the commanders in the control room are no longer helped, and the only few people who were on duty in the cabin at the time of the explosion are basically sappers......"
"And what about the person in charge here now?" Shirou Amada asked.
"Now, the highest rank is you second lieutenant......" The federal sergeant looked at Amada Shirou directly, he was not the kind of capable person, and when he suddenly encountered this kind of thing, he was secretly relieved that a superior could come out and take the lead.
"Isn't it......" On the other hand, Shirou Amada looked very helpless, what the hell is 'coming to help' becoming 'coming to be the boss'?
"Please come with me, everyone is on the bridge now," the sergeant asked curiously, leading the way, "Ensign, how is the situation outside?" Do you know who carried out the attack? β
"It's the Zado Army, and the other side didn't just blow up this place, their MS rushed directly into the interior of Heliopolis...... Before I came here, Zado's MS had completely suppressed the satellites and taken away three new Gundams. Shirou Amada explained to the other party who had been trapped here since the beginning of the incident.
"Is the target a prototype?!" The federal sergeant was taken aback.
"Ah...... I'm an outsider who came to Heliopolis unexpectedly, so I don't know how powerful the new Gundam is, but I also know that I'm in trouble......," Shirou Amada sighed.
It's hard to say anything when he is with Cagalli, who longs for Orb to remain neutral, but from the standpoint of the Federal Army, it makes sense to get Orb's technical support, and although the parameters of the 'prototype' will drop when it becomes a 'production machine', it is bound to far surpass the existing production Gundam.
Therefore, now he was well aware of how serious it was that the new Gundam had been taken away, and that his blade was in the hands of the enemy.
"Speaking of which, this Archangel is also the crystallization of Orb's technology, right?" Amada Shirou mused, "Even if the Zado Army doesn't know the status of this warship yet, if we try to return to Earth, they will definitely send a fleet to intercept it...... No, also consider the issue of the Duchy of Zeon. β
"Is this situation going to set sail?" The sergeant asked looking back in surprise.
"I know it's dangerous, but if you don't send the Archangel back to Earth, its value won't be reflected," Shirou Amada thought for a moment and finally shook his head, "...... However, let's just talk about it, there is no MS capable of fighting, only one warship, and it is impossible to reach the earth, so it is better to consider concealing the information that the Archangel is alive, and at the same time prepare emergency measures to detonate it at any time. β
A battleship without the protection of the MS is like a lamb to the slaughter, regardless of how awesome the main gun becomes, only the enemy MS whose attention is attracted by other things, or the enemy battleship that is also not very sporty, can not avoid the main gun of the battleship.
"Do you want to detonate...... Yes, you can't fall into the hands of the enemy......" The sergeant of the Federation lowered his head, as a sapper of the Federation, the Archangel was also his work for several years, and when he heard about this most reasonable disposition at the moment, his heart became very uncomfortable.
"Actually, now is the best time to rush out...... The eyes of the Zado Army are locked on the new Gundam, the fleet outside is exchanging fire with Orb's permanent forces, and there are 'those guys' watching from the sidelines, "The space pirates whose hobby is to snatch the Gundam, the current situation feels like they will be their help, the Gundam is much better in their hands than in the Zado army, "Damn! Even if it's just a decent MS, then there's a reason to rush out at this moment! β
The federal sergeant suddenly looked up, "...... Captain, we're at the Aurora Society, and we have two frames from the trial production process, and a bunch of scattered parts, although it will take a little time to assemble, but we should still be able to fight after that! β
"What did you say?!"
Gundam Heresy, coming soon.

Natal Bucky Lulu is the combat commander of the Archangel under the Eighth Fleet of the Second Celestial Domain of the United Earth Forces, with the rank of lieutenant. Unlike the humane Shirou Amada, she is tough and ruthless, inflexible, loyal, honest, honest and sincere, and abides by military discipline, and is a standard soldier.
Due to her position, she was not killed by the bomb set up by the Zado Army, but was slightly injured and unconscious. When she regained consciousness, she fought back her grief and cried for help, but received no response. In the end, it took a long time, and she finally struggled to find a way out of the ruins of the corpses of her superiors and subordinates.
however
"Archangel number...... It's gone? Bucky Lulu was speechless as he stared at the ground inside the satellite, which had been blasted open by the main cannon.
By the way, Bucky Lulu and Mariu, who did not board the Archangel, actually had a pretty refreshing time in the subsequent days of recuperation in Heliopolis, and Seon knew if he was blessed~
