Chapter 262: Retreat and Contact
PS: (Today's update to ~~~)
More than 30 kilometers away, the atmosphere became dead silent in the command post of the large land warship of the ZAFT Army, which was retreating.
Looking at the light screen in the command post of the land battleship, the face of Supreme Commander Andrew Bartfield was no longer as relaxed as before, but became extremely serious and serious. And the other people in the battleship command post will not talk or laugh without eyes when they see the one-sided battle situation just now and the face of their own commander - of course, seeing the crushing defeat of the ZAFT army just now, no one in the battleship command post present will be in the mood to laugh.
"I didn't expect this Shura Gundam to be so strong on Earth, and it seems that the record of those three 'X' series Gundams is ......."
Looking at the battlefield situation that had disappeared on the light screen, Andrew Barterfield sighed, only feeling that there was only a chill in his heart, as cold as falling into ice.
Eleven atmospheric air combat MS Dean II, fifteen land combat MS Baku II and twelve land combat MS steel tank II!
There are more than 30 MSs, which are not a weak force in the African theater of operations and the Mediterranean theater. Especially the group of MS pilots who just attacked with Andrew Barterfield's side can be said to be the elite of the ZAFT ground forces on Earth, but now they are all buried on the battlefield in front of the Archangel in just a few minutes, this result is an unforgettable memory for Andrew Barterfield.
- Even in many battles with the Eurasian Federation, Andrew Bartfield, although he has many battles in which losses are much greater than more than thirty MSs, have never experienced such a completely one-sided battle!
"Commander, only three Steel Tank Type II MSs replied to the signal of successful evacuation! And just now, the remaining dozen pilots on the battlefield who flew the Baku II MS and the Steel Tank II MS replied with a final message, saying that they had seen the enemy's marines disembarking from the space battleship and had begun to capture them...... "After a few moments of silence, the ship's communications officer received some information before getting up to interrupt Andrew Barterfield's musings.
"Are you captured......" Listening to this report, which is good news for the ZAFT soldiers in "Gundam SEED", Andrew Barttfield also came to his senses, and then decisively looked at the staff officers and officers in the command headquarters, and began to give orders: "Let the evacuated steel tank II MS detour back to the battleship, and let's retreat at full speed!"
"Yes! Commander!" *N
Listening to Andrew Bartfield's words, the ZAFT staff officers and officers in the battleship command all breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted to their commanders.
It should be said that Andrew Barterfield's decision was quite wise and decisive. Even the battleship staff officers and officers of these ZAFT Corps understand that if their commanders want to continue fighting, it is estimated that ten out of ten of them will die on their own side that has already lost all the MS combat units. Now the commander immediately chose to retreat at full speed, which is actually quite a wise plan - I believe that not many people will choose that kind of battle that is certain to death!
Subsequently, the large land warships of the ZAFT Army, which had been slowly retreating, directly turned on their full power and retreated without hesitation in the direction of the road that had taken a lot of time......
……
On the other side, on the edge of the sand dunes on the battlefield of the Archangel, a group of spectators who had just played soy sauce also looked at each other.
"The sand and desert tigers have fled like this???"
"That's amazing! Those two Gundams destroyed so many ZAFT Army MS in one fell swoop, and that large resistance group barely managed to kill a steel tank with a trap a few months ago, and so many people died!"
"That's the new 'X' series Gundam unit for the United Earth Forces, right? It's called Shura Gundam ............
On the sand dunes on the edge of the battlefield, a group of people dressed in the attire of ordinary North African residents, but carrying guns and binoculars, looked at the burning wreckage of the ZAFT military body and the two Gundam mechs that had just shown their power on the battlefield, and couldn't help but whisper and discuss with each other.
For this gang of resistance to the rule of the ZAFT army (?) As far as the guerrillas are concerned, they basically don't think about any strict discipline norms, and now after watching a big show, they can't help but discuss the situation just now.
"Shut up!" Seeing some messy situation, the slightly chubby middle-aged leader shouted at the guys in his tribe, and then looked at the little guys who shut up with satisfaction, before turning his head to a blonde girl who looked like a teenager next to him and asked, "That's the space battleship you said, and those two are Gundams, right?" It's a new unit for the 'X' Series Gundam, right?"
"That's right! One is a low-end MS specially built machine called Strike Gundam, which belongs to the prototype Gundam body of the United Earth Forces' low-end MS project. The other is the new body of the famous 'X' series Gundam, the Shura Gundam!"
Listening to the middle-aged leader's words, the blonde girl, who had the first impression of being as stubborn as a lion cub, woke up from the shock of seeing the one-sided battle just now, nodded and explained to the leader, while looking at the Strike Gundam and Shura Gundam standing on the battlefield with somewhat complicated eyes.
"Chief, what do we do now? Do you want to go back or go up and ask?" Listening to the blonde girl's explanation, a young man on the other side with an automatic firearm pointed to the battlefield where the prisoners were being captured, and asked with a wry smile.
According to the movement of the land warship that Andrew Bartfield was riding in by this guerrilla group, and then followed over to see if the situation was a help. But now after seeing that the two units of the Earth United Army with up to three times and five divided by two, dozens of MSs under the famous Desert Tiger were taken down, and the ridiculous idea of "saving the other party" before was directly thrown out of the clouds, and it turned to the fear of the weak for the strong.
"Go get in touch with it! At least our enemies with the Earth United Army are all ZAFT ......"
Listening to the young man's inquiry, the middle-aged leader thought for a moment and then made a decision directly.
The blonde girl wanted to say something about the middle-aged leader's words, but a tall, brown-skinned man with bright eyes behind her held down her shoulders and gently shook her head to stop the blonde girl's movements.
A little later, a jeep waving a white flag rushed down the dunes and headed in the direction of the battlefield and the Archangel......
……
Ten minutes later, it was located below the Archangel number.
"I'm the Supreme Commander of the Archangel, do you have anything you want to talk to us?"
Li Yuan, who had just jumped off the Shura Gundam, raised his hand to Maliu, who had just walked down the control tower with people, and then turned his head to look at the nervous guerrilla members in front of him, and asked the seemingly numerous guerrilla members in front of him with an indifferent expression.
Different from the original anime of "Gundam SEED", now these members of the organization who call themselves "Dawn Desert" to resist the ZAFT Army have no action to save the Archangel at all, and even have no confidence at all after seeing the Archangel that swept away many MS of the ZAFT Army as soon as they made a move, and now they are swallowing their saliva a little nervously when they look at Li Yuan, Ma Liu, and more than a dozen Marine soldiers with weapons in their hands, including the leader who calls himself Saibu Ashima.
"We are the 'Dawn Desert' organization, and we have been resisting the rule of the ZAFT army in the surrounding area, and we saw the land warships and operations of the Desert Tigers before, so we followed them......"
Looking at Li Yuan with some fear, Saibu Ashuma stiffened his head and made an excuse for himself and the Dawn Desert.
Not only Saibu Asima, but also the members and cadres of the "Dawn Desert" who had just seen the murderous performance of Shura Gundam, one of them was all honest, and no one dared to speak out casually, they all looked at Li Yuan and the Shura Gundam on the side with fear, amazement, and envy - in this desolate desert, the cruel law of the jungle is even more obvious, and the saying that the strong are the rules is not a joke!
"Oh, what do you want us to do?"
Li Yuan didn't criticize and ridicule Saibu Ashuma's behavior of pretending to be a grandson, nodded and looked around at the dozen or so electric desert off-road vehicles and the members of the Dawn Desert, and asked with a smile.
"I represent the Dawn Desert Resistance and just want to ......"
Seeing Li Yuan's meaningful expression, Saibu Ashuma felt that he was not facing a black-haired young Asian American, but rather the illusion of a demon in human skin. But before Saibu Ashuma could say anything, the blonde girl who was being protected behind him suddenly rushed out, interrupting his conversation with Li Yuan.
I saw that the blonde girl who was protected by Saibu Ashima rushed out of the crowd, and under the gaze of everyone present who was surprised, nervous, etc., she ran to Kira Yamato, who had just come down from the Strike Gundam, and then shouted to the inexplicable Kira Yamato with an angry face: "You? Why are you sitting on that thing?!!
"You ......"
Listening to the blonde girl's questioning, Kira Yamato couldn't help but be stunned, but before he could look at the somewhat familiar blonde girl and recognize the other party's identity, he saw the little lion Cagalli slap him.
Although Kira Yamato has a tendency to be slight, he definitely doesn't have the idea of taking the initiative to be slapped, and grabs the opponent's wrist directly with the help of the adjuster's reaction. But at the stalemate, he suddenly remembered who the familiar blonde girl in front of him was.
"You, you're not the ...... of the Aurora Society" Seeing the person he knew and rescued, Kira Yamato showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then let go of the other party and asked the blonde girl Cagalli very confusedly.
"It's me! But tell me, why are you the one sitting on that thing?! Answer me, why did you sit on that murder weapon???" Seeing that Kira Yamato finally recognized herself, the blonde girl Cagalli directly grabbed Kira Yamato's driver's suit collar and pointed to the assault Gundam that stopped next to the Shura Gundam like an angry roaring lion cub, and questioned Kira Yamato.
"You let go! I don't want to ride the Strike Gundam......"
Seeing this scene, the atmosphere that was still a little tense between the two sides just now suddenly became weird.
Especially after Li Yuan stretched out his hand and ordered the reinforcement soldiers to lower their guns, including the leader of the Dawn Desert, Sebu Asuma, they were all stunned to look at Kira Yamato and Cagalli, who was furious, with a bewildered expression, and didn't know how to stop Cagalli's risky move for a while. However, after seeing the members of the United Earth Force show their kindness, everyone including Sebu Ashma breathes a sigh of relief after having a headache.
After all, Cagalli's behavior towards Kira Yamato can already be regarded as a provocation, and for the level of force shown by the Archangel just now, Cagalli's reckless provocation is too dangerous!
"Cagalli! Hurry up and stop!!"
Saibu Ashuma apologized to Li Yuan, and hurriedly and loudly stopped Cagalli.
The other Dawn Desert people also looked at each other, but it seemed that several of the young men in the Dawn Desert team showed a bad look at Kira Yamato, who was arguing with Cagalli. But because of Kira Yamato's identity and the reinforced soldiers who are eyeing him on the side, no one can't help but stage some romantic drama.
"Are we going to go with them?" Looking at this scene, Marius Ramias, who has become more and more attractive recently, frowned and took the initiative to ask his man.
After knowing Li Yuan's identity and the plot of the "Gundam SEED" anime, although Maru Ramiath also showed the same angry performance as Frei's girl, as an officer of the Earth Coalition Force, she still maintained a considerable ability to analyze and judge, at least she felt that she didn't need to ask for help from the Dawn Desert organization like the original plot - whether in terms of combat power or other aspects, the Dawn Desert, which was not much different from the original plot, did not have this strength at all!
"Since you ran into it, why don't you take a look? Besides, I'm going to take the eldest lady to meet the tiger......"
Listening to Ma Liu's inquiry, Li Yuan said indifferently.
Although Marlu Ramias was a little unimpressed by Li Yuan's words, he still respected Li Yuan's thoughts and silently stood beside Li Yuan and watched the situation on the scene.
Later, after successfully stopping the "flirting" between Cagalli and Kira Yamato, Saibu Ashima took the initiative to send an invitation to Li Yuan and his party, inviting the Archangel to the Dawn Desert base. In this regard, Li Yuan pretended to think about it for a while, and then chose to agree to Saibu Asima's proposal and go to the Dawn Desert...... (To be continued.) )
