Chapter 30: The Archangel Number

For the warfare of this era, the power of weapons, the range, and even the standby time and reload time are becoming more and more terrifying with the progress of human technology.

However, there is at least one thing that is certain about a giant weapon like a mobile suit.

These powerful weapons need to be aimed at by a corresponding inducement device before they can be fired, so that they can finally hit the target and cause effective damage.

AGNI 320mm ultra-high pulse cannon

This kind of heavy weapon, which can almost be called a strategic level in a small-scale battlefield, is naturally even more so. With the help of the laser guidance system that comes with the weapon itself as aiming, this thing can actually hit the target. Even so, there is a high probability that the light will be biased due to the deflection and weakening of light in an atmosphere with an uneven medium.

So, in the design of weapons, such a strange phenomenon naturally formed ... After the ultra-high pulse cannon is adjusted to the state of fighting in the atmosphere by default, the aiming range of the laser induced will be shorter than the actual range.

This problem is not a problem for most pilots... Or the value of not considering it at all - they have been trained in strict accordance with the teaching manual, and they will never have the idea of attacking a target with an unexpected range. At this point, Kira is clearly different.

So, he fired!

The flaming torrent of energy scorched the air around him, and it wasn't until the deadly beam had entered Krause's field of vision that Jean's alarm belatedly sounded...

But it's late!

Now all he can do is adjust his posture to meet the impact by rotating, and whether he can survive or not depends entirely on the accuracy of the opponent's shot... This state of resignation made Krause, who had always held his desire to hold his fate in the palm of his hand, smiled helplessly. But if he can return alive, he swears that the person who fired this shot will be the most important target in the future!

Rumble!!!

The power of the pulse cannon is indeed desperate, and even the land of the colonial satellite has been cut open under this blow. Unfortunately, this powerful shot only broke one of Jean's arms and a shield, but the propulsion system and cockpit were saved.

Of course, after suffering such a loss, Krauser immediately chose to retreat, whether it was Kira, who was holding the pulse cannon, or Mu, who was damaged, had no ability to pursue at the moment.

And before leaving, Krauser finally saw the true face of the enemy through the probe... The blue and white mech, and the terrible weapon in the hand... Sure enough, it was the last Earth Army aircraft that was not captured!

And after that, the Archangel broke the wall, which also symbolized that either Flagg or Kira no longer had to face the threat of a resurgence in outer space at any time. Although the two people who witnessed this scene were in different directions and had different force fields, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

—————————————————————————————————————

Rescue the Earth Captain, repel Zaft's attack, and destroy two Jeans in total... Such a remarkable record, if it had been placed on an officer like Flagg, I am afraid that he would have been promoted again in the near future. But it's a pity that all of this happened to a teenager, and even this teenager was an adjuster.

Of course, the Eagle of Antimion was not at all surprised by this... He came here to escort those G drivers, but those so-called elites who were hastily selected by the Earth Army couldn't even make this big guy walk safely and steadily for a while in the simulation exercises.

Such precise and perfect movements, and even such a thing as sniping at a super range in the middle of a sprint with a very high deviation and a very heavy pulse cannon, almost without thinking, can only be done by the adjuster... And it's not something that every adjuster can do.

So, after boarding the ship, Flagg rightfully inquired about Kira's identity. And because of the latter's nod of acknowledgement, the atmosphere in the hangar instantly became tense.

"What! Are you mistaken, Kira saved you just now! ”

Thor held Kira behind him with a hand. Of course, he knew that if he really wanted to do it, ten of him tied together would not help Kira, and maybe he would have to drag him back, but the young man is like this, he stands up for the sake of his friend's brain... Truth be told, Kira doesn't really hate the feeling of someone being on her side and standing up for herself.

Of course, for safety reasons, he calmly patted Thor on the shoulder, then shook his head with a smile.

"It's fine."

He said.

Under Thor's suspicious gaze, Brigadier Marlough finally spoke.

"Put the gun down."

As one of the highest-ranking officers on the scene, the order from the woman immediately calmed down the soldiers who looked on full alert. In fact, this kind woman is still very grateful to the young man in front of her. Whether it was in the warehouse or the Mobile Suit battle just now, if it weren't for this strange boy, not only would he have been killed, but even the last X-Series Gundam would have been lost.

In order to develop these advanced combat weapons, she knows very well how much effort and money the Earth Army has invested, and if they are all taken away by Zaft at one time, the next war is likely to take a very unfavorable turn for the Earth Army.

After all, these ferocious weapons that natural people can't control, in Zaft, which is composed entirely of adjusters, I'm afraid that many pilots will be very interested.

"Don't say that anymore, let's hurry up and get inside the archangel."

"But, Captain..."

"I know what you're trying to say, Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu."

The captain shook his head helplessly

"They're just ordinary people, and they've seen the military's secrets, so now they can only be contained in the archangel."

Of course, there is one more sentence that she did not say all... In fact, it wasn't just her, almost everyone's eyes drifted to the adjuster boy who had been acting unusually calm.

His identity is not entirely certain, but at least judging from the battle just now, he is currently on a united front with the Earth Army. And if the Archangel wants to escape back to Earth safely and escape back to the Moon Headquarters, then the strength of this young man is indispensable.

Kira Yamato...

He's really a wonderful teenager.

PS: Two minor changes were made in the previous twenty-nine chapters, first of all, Jean, who captained the machine, was not equipped with a lightsaber, but a heavy sword, and the Zero piloted by Captain Flagg was equipped with a cannon instead of a laser cannon... Well, careless.

By the way, tomorrow is the last day of the week, ask for a ticket, and wish everyone a happy Chinese Valentine's Day.
