Chapter 259: Landing on Earth

PS: (Today's update!) Thank you for your monthly pass and tipping ~~~~~~)

On the other side of the chase battlefield, the battle situation between the Archangel and the Strike Gundam is quite unoptimistic.

The Zaku III MS equipped with the Ship Attack Gear is quite sharp, and even with the help of the Shura Gundam's Flying Wing Combat Backpack, the Archangel and the Strike Gundam are also very embarrassed.

Kira *Yamato, who was originally controlling the Strike Gundam and standing on the Archangel and using his artillery equipment to shoot long-range targets, faced the elite MS pilots in the ZAFT Army, and was interrupted by the opponent's concentrated fire after shooting down only two Zaku III MSs, and then worked hard with the Shura Gundam's Wing Backpack to resist the onslaught of the ZAFT Army.

"Damn! Damn it! Why did you come here to stop us from leaving? Why fight for no sense......"

Watching the Taizaku III MS in the universe flexibly dodge the defensive fire on the Archangel and pouring fire on the Archangel with the ship-to-ship weapon and beam weapon in his hand, Kira *Yamato, who turned on the "SEED" state again, roared in the cockpit while shooting into the air with the beam rifle in the hand of the Strike Gundam.

With Kira*Yamato turning on the "SEED" state, the Strike Gundam also exudes a clear luster. Moreover, after Kira*Yamato's explosion, the entire Strike Gundam changed as much as if it had come to life, and the body was almost in a terrifying situation to dodge the attacks launched by the Zagu III MS, and the beam rifle in his hand turned this area of the Strike Gundam defense into an extremely dangerous situation, whether it was a missile or the Zagu III MS of the ZAFT Army, almost as soon as it got close, it would be targeted by the Strike Gundam Beam Rifle.

Needless to say, the fate of the former was directly exploded by the beam rifle, and the force field defense of the latter Zagu Type III MS was able to resist it, but it couldn't survive a few times under the accurate shooting of the Assault Gundam that hit almost the same point, and then no matter Kira * Da and try to avoid hitting the cockpit, it can't change its fate by the Archangel's anti-aircraft fire.

It's a pity that no matter how hard Kira Yamato tries, there is only one Strike Gundam that does not have an absolute advantage over the opposing MS. And even if there are more than sixty Zagu Type III MSs, almost more than a third of them are the red-clothed elites of the ZAFT Army, and they can't completely resist the Archangel who has been slightly injured along the way.

After being set on fire for several minutes by more than two dozen Zagu III MSs carrying ship-to-ship beam guns and heavy ship-to-ship missiles, the energy shield on the Archangel finally collapsed as it could not bear it. Just when Natal Bucky Lulu saw this dangerous situation, she ordered to prepare to get close to Earth orbit and prepare to use Lux Clay as a hostage.

But before Natal Bucky Lulu could give the next order, Li Yuan's voice came from the Archangel's communication channel.

"Sir, how's the situation on your side?"

Looking at Li Yuan on the light screen, Natal Bucky Lulu didn't care about other situations, and asked a little anxiously.

Truth be told, if there is a choice, Natal Bucky Lulu really doesn't want to use the hostage trick, not to mention what Lux Klein's status is in the PLANT now, and it would be unhappy to just violate the military beliefs she follows.

Listening to Natal Bucky Lulu's inquiry, Malu and Frey, who still didn't know the situation in the command tower, also looked at Li Yuan in the light screen with some expectation.

"I've already repelled a few Gundams behind the ZAFT Army and are rushing over, but these Zagu Type III MSs are not small, and the ZAFT Army on the other side of the blocking battlefield has also sent MS troops. I suggest that the Archangel immediately choose the earth's orbit to descend ......" In the light screen, Li Yuan's face did not change his color, and his heart did not beat.

"Landing on Earth? Source, will you have time to return? Or are you ready to return directly to the lunar base......"

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Ma Liu, as the captain of the ship, couldn't help but ask with some worry and reluctance.

In fact, Marlu, Frey, and Natal Bucky Lulu also saw along the way that if it weren't for the "drag" of the Archangel, the new body Shura Gundam of the "X" series piloted by Li Yuan himself could have won the victory, and now if it does not land on Earth, the Shura Gundam can directly break through to the receiving fleet......

"Don't worry! I'm an envoy of Project G, and I'm not going to part with you!"

Listening to Ma Liu's words, Li Yuan said with a smile on his face and a pun.

"Got it! The Archangel is all ready, ready to land on Earth!"

A smile appeared on Maliu's face, and then without hesitation, she continued to say to the rest of the conning tower: "Send a communication to the corresponding fleet and tell us that we have chosen to descend to the direction of the earth!"

"Yes! Captain!" *N

Everyone including Natal Bucky Lulu saluted, and then busied himself against the attacks of the Zagu Type III MS, helping to prepare for a forced landing on Earth, and also having to inform the friendly forces led by Halbarton.

Subsequently, before everyone on the Archangel was ready to make a forced landing, the Shura Gundam successfully rushed to the edge of the Archangel, and then after directly dispatching to disperse the Zaku Type III MS besieging the Archangel, it began to descend to Earth with the Archangel that had adjusted its direction to meet it.

As the Archangel, Shura Gundam, and Strike Gundam began to descend to Earth, both the ZAFT Army and the Earth United Army in space tacitly chose a truce and separated after seeing the main owner of this operation leave......

……

From the ZAFT pursuit fleet behind the Archangel, the flagship of the Kreuzer team.

"Captain, are we going to watch them land on Earth like this?"

Looking at the Archangel and the "X" series Gundam that had begun to descend to Earth, the flagship captain of the Kreuzer team asked Kreuzer in the light screen with some unwillingness.

"Chasing them all the way from Heliopolis, have we been able to deal with them with the forces we have gathered? Now the order of the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, is to force them to go to Earth as much as possible, and we are barely able to complete the task now......"

Listening to his captain's inquiry, Kreuzer replied with a bitter hint on the corner of his mouth.

Not to mention the others, Kreuzer knew very well in his heart, if it weren't for the new body of the "X" series Gundam that kept his hands all the way, and even just been able to destroy all nine Gundams that attacked, but he still showed mercy at the last moment, otherwise they would have become wreckage in the universe by now!

Listening to his captain's words now, Kreuzer actually wanted to ask the other party with a wry smile, how did they deal with the new "X" series Gundam body, did they take the initiative to rush forward and send them to death now?

"......" listened to Kreuzer's somewhat formulaic and coping words, and the captain, who had experienced the battles along the way and the current situation, had nothing to say.

The ZAFT Army, which has been fighting a big battle for almost a year, although the internal structure is still somewhat similar to that of the militia (military rank, organizational structure and command method), but how to say that the corresponding war vision is still there, and the MS and battleships destroyed by the "X" series Gundam that have been chasing are enough for the ZAFT Army to reorganize several combat teams of the Space Army. After almost attacking with all his strength just now but returning from a fiasco, it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat if you go up again......

"Have you informed Your Excellency the Chairman of the National Defense Commission of the state of the war? Any response that was not?"

While the captain was struggling in his heart, Kreuzer in the light screen suddenly asked.

When he said this, Kreuzer's face under the mask became curious, because now Kreuzer didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the chairman of the National Defense Commission, and he would actually do such a face-losing thing - forcing the "X" series Gundam to land on Earth and spend a little time in the universe, but it cost more than 500 ZAFT MS pilots and four-digit casualties of the Space Army, which is a rather uneconomical deal for PLANT and ZAFT!

"It's been notified! The order we just received was for us to determine if the new 'X' series aircraft had landed, and if so, to lead the team back to PLANT!" Listening to Kreuzer's question, the captain's face became even more strange, but he still said the reply he had just received.

"Is that so......" Listening to the captain's answer, Kreuzer's eyes couldn't help but flicker a few times, and his mind also quickly thought about the question behind the actions of Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission. However, after thinking about it for a while and not understanding it, Kreuzer did not drill into this issue, but muttered for a while and then ordered the captain: "Since there is already an order, then follow the order of His Excellency the Chairman of the National Defense Commission!" Prepare to retreat from the battle line!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Hearing Kreuzer's order, the captain also saluted without hesitation, and then began to give orders.

Later, after it was determined that the Archangel and the "X" series Gundam had indeed landed on Earth, the ZAFT Army, which had lost a lot of elite troops in this low-orbit battle, chose to retreat. Seeing the withdrawal of the ZAFT Army, the Seventh and Eighth Fleets of the Earth United Space Force led by Halbarton also chose to retreat after containing the survivors......

………………

PLANT, located in the renovated Yakin-Duwe Fortress.

"Sara, you don't seem to care at all if you can destroy the new body of that 'X' Series Gundam?"

In the classified conference room in the just-completed Yakin-Duwe Fortress, Congressman Amalfi looked at Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Committee, who had just hung up the communication, and asked a little strangely.

Although Amalfi is a member of the Supreme Council, it can be said that Amalfi's thinking and judgment ability can be said to be first-class when he can become a member of the Supreme Council in PLANT. Just after listening to the order given by Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, and thinking about the situation of his precious son Nigaul Amalfi, who returned to PLANT not long ago, he immediately judged the meaning of the real first person in PLANT, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, just now.

"That's right, Amalfi, I really don't care about that 'X' Series Gundam! Because for PLANT, the thing you've overseen the construction of now is where our tweakers really hope is!!"

Listening to Congressman Amalfi's words, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, happily admitted, and pointed to the mysteriously constructed weapon marked "top secret" on the light screen, and continued with a fanatical face, "Compared to the so-called 'X' series of Gundams, the creation light belonging to our adjuster is the most important existence. Even if it costs a lot of sacrifice for the ZAFT soldiers, it must provide this last and most critical time for the construction of Genesis!"

Genesis!

What the Chairman of the National Defense Commission Sara is talking about is the "Gundam SEED" Finally, most of the council members in PLANT don't know about the super long-range nuclear gamma ray cannon that was secretly built by the heart of the chairman of the National Defense Commission Sara even before the start of the war!

In the current world of Gundam SEED, PLANT has entered the general mobilization mechanism and industrial integration mode in advance under the monopoly of the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah. Therefore, in the case of the rapid change of MS and space battleships of the ZAFT army, the construction speed of the super weapon of Genesis is much faster than the construction speed in the anime.

Therefore, Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, is now fully focused on the progress of Genesis, and an "X" series Gundam is certainly quite important, but the deterrent power is far from being comparable to this devastating mass killing weapon!

"Sara ......"

Listening to the words of the Chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, Congressman Amalfi tried to say something, but his mouth just opened and he looked at the Chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, who was fanatical and excited, and he couldn't say the words in his head.

In the past year, Congressman Amalfi has also seen the situation of PLANT under the control of Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, and it can be said that if it were not for his persistence and actions, the PLANT peace faction might not have been able to hold out and surrender to the Earth Union!

"That's it! Amalfi, what progress has you made in the research of the 'X' Series Gundam? And those few low-end mass-produced MS testing machines from the Earth United 'G Project', have you found anything to gain from the research?"

Looking at Congressman Amalfi's hesitant expression, Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, also understood the slightly naïve thoughts in his heart. However, now for the Amalfi Congressman who belongs to his own camp, Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, who does not want to stiffen the relationship, immediately changed the topic and asked about the other party's progress on MS.

To be honest, watching the "X" series Gundam of Earth Union show its might, even Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission who regards Genesis as the first priority, is actually very uncomfortable in his heart - it's a very simple thing, the ZAFT Army, which was first equipped with MS, was actually surpassed by the other party in the MS project by Earth United equipped with MA? Therefore, even if a lot of resources are invested in Genesis, the MS project and the Gundam R&D project in PLANT are also injected with a lot of manpower and resources, and the nuclear-powered Gundam has opened 12 different R&D projects at once.

However, the answer to the question given to Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, was indeed not good at handing over the 12 nuclear-powered Gundams that PLANT had worked hard to build, and several Gundams besieging the "X" series Gundam were directly crushed by the opponents, which made Sara, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, very unhappy.

"Sara, I have to say that the Gundam body technology of the 'X' series is indeed too high-end, and the Gundam of our first batch of nuclear fission power furnaces is not its opponent at all!"

Seeing that the face of Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, became more and more unsightly, Congressman Amalfi changed his words and continued: "But we are not without gains this time! At least compared to the previous MS, the Nuclear-Powered Gundam barely has some resistance to the 'X' series Gundam. In addition, after testing the four low-end MS testing machines of the G series of the 'Project G' project, we found a very low level of a special metal from the metal skeleton and armor in it. After studying the battle video of the G-Series Strike Gundam and comparing the X-Series Gundam bodies, we believe that there are several technologies and materials unique to the X-Series Gundams in these low-end test machines, which can be a good complement to our second batch of improved nuclear-powered Gundams......"

"That's good! Amalfi, I hope that our PLANT will soon have a body that is not inferior to the 'X' series of Gundams!"

Listening to Councilor Amalfi's words, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, was finally in a better mood, and said to Councilor Amalfi with a big wave of his hand.

However, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, and Congressman Amalfi would not know that their conversation could not be concealed from Li Yuan at all, and even reached Li Yuan, who had already landed on the earth an hour later...... (To be continued.) )
