Chapter 44: The Battle of Orb (10)
Because of the retreat of the Earth Union, it seems that the war has gone a little farther, and the island of Obu Silon is a little more active, and the combat pilots who take the opportunity to rest desperately, the technicians who desperately repair the MS and the ship despite the rest, and the military people who run back and forth to convey orders.
Kill because you are killed, and you are killed because you kill someone. In the end, will there really be peace? Looking at the burning Orb, Kira, who was driving the Dawn Gundam to carry out supply repairs, thought like a thinker.
Kira had never thought about this before, and it was the tragic sight in front of her that made Kira realize. Things he hadn't tried to think about before, he began to think about it repeatedly.
Continuous progress, continuous transcendence, and finally become the strongest. This is the life of Kira, the strongest adjuster. The original life. Even as it is now, Kira is constantly improving. The progress of the body, the progress of technology, and finally the progress of the mind. When Kira's heart is strong, she can become a truly strong person. Pity......
The Orb army on the island of Si Neng Ryo took advantage of this rare gap in battle to quickly transfer the remaining combat power to Kaguya Island. Earth United is also rapidly preparing to continue the battle.
USS Powell.
Clenched fists banged frantically on the door, knocking until blood was oozing, and no one came to save them.
Here, it's a prison.
This small, 10-meter-square room, separated by stainless steel, has only a consultation table and white lighting. Originally, it was an infirmary, but the cupboards and medical equipment were all removed, because they would smash everything they could when they were frying in pain. There were no glass or medicine bottles either, because the gang was afraid that they would not be able to bear the pain and would harm themselves.
Olga? Sabnak opened his eyes slightly, then groaned and closed. It was as if the white light would pierce the eyes and run around in the brain. Just now, he felt the cold forcing him to shiver, and immediately it was so hot that it seemed that his whole body was on fire. I've had cramps in my hands and feet for a long time, and I can't even stand up.
The "companions" who were locked up in the room were probably suffering the same as him. Grot? Buel had been swearing just now. One side bangs his head against the wall. Oluga's own head hurts, and the sound of hitting the wall is so loud that he really wants to kill the family. Shani was like a child, sobbing all the time.
Although they are "companions", Oluga has no intimacy with them, nor does he empathize with them. No, he wasn't even particularly aware of their existence. It's the same for others. Only occasionally did he find them annoying and in the way, no different from the little bugs flying around him.
For him, the "enemy" gave him a relatively refreshing feeling. Because destroying them brings the thrill of that moment. It's like that, with strings attached.
Before it became like this. He could barely remember. Daily medication, surgery after surgery, and repeated whispers gradually weakened their ability to think, their memories, and even their emotions, including fear.
The gang wanted to create the strongest soldiers in this way. It is necessary to have the reflexes, athleticism, and endurance of the adjuster, and to be a top-notch combat driver who is not afraid of fear and only feels joy in defeating the enemy. Oluga loves who he is. Driving the strongest MS, beating the "enemy" to the ground, burning things and watching the blood flow, is the most interesting. You can do this with your own physical fitness. He was incredibly satisfied.
Pity...... Only when the drug is adequately given.
Ξ³-Glipheptin - the name of the drug holds their fate in their hands. By taking the drug regularly, they are able to maintain human-like physiology. When the effect of the drug ends, they will experience unbearable withdrawal symptoms. The previous battle was only halfway through, and it was because of this "time up". so that they may not return. It was their first actual battle, and it brought more movement and pressure than previous simulations, including the thrill. I'm afraid that's why the effect of the drug can't last. The researchers looked at their tormented faces with expressionless expressions, and said that.
Now they're quarantined. He did not give medicine, and let the pain of the flesh melt. According to Azraairul. This is "punishment". They let themselves be punished by losing face in front of the Lord of the Sky and Liu Yi.
It would be okay if they really couldn't conquer Orb, but they obviously had this ability, but because of the mentality of the game and the attitude of playing, Azraaru lost face in front of everyone. That's a great sin.
I don't know how many hours have passed. Maybe a few days. Fear, which should never have been felt again, sprung up in Oluka's breast; If there is really no medicine, they will gradually become numb to this pain and eventually die. Aren't those guys going to decide to "scrap us"?
Pain and fear continued to torment until they had lost their sense of time when they heard the sound of a door unlocking in front of them. Oluga watched the door with a blank look in his eyes.
But though the door was opened, they could not escape. for it is their own flesh that holds them in prison.
Bridge.
"How long will it take? What are the preparations? AzraaΓ―ru stepped into the bridge and asked, in his usual loud and casual voice.
Dales turned his head angrily, and said reluctantly. "However, Orb repeatedly asked for talks......"
Before he could finish speaking, Azraairu immediately waved his hand hastily. "Hey, it's too late to talk about that. It's a country that can't even be attacked with our combat power? It's too dangerous to talk about. β
Azraaru smiled crookedly, and said it simply. "Let it be destroyed, also for the sake of the future?"
Also for their own face. Azra Aylul thought coldly.
Azraairul's tone was so frivolous that it was hardly like he was talking about the fate of a country. The man, who was supposed to be an outsider, decided the fate of a country like this, without any discussion, so that the commander could not hide his anger. "My preparations are coming to an end! The problem is on your side, isn't it? β
"Oh, that's disrespectful." Azraairu pretended to be scared and shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't mean to apologize at all. "So, let's hurry up and start the second game, shall we? Punishment should be enough. β
Dales didn't quite understand what he meant by "punishment." The three "Gs" and their pilots were only under the control of Azra Aylul and the researchers he had brought in, and Darius himself didn't know the real situation, and he didn't really want to know. The only thing he knew was that those people were doing uncomfortable things, and knowing too much would only be disgusting.
Azraairu didn't want to say anything in particular. But he spoke in a tone that seemed to him to know everything. "It's a test, though. This time, they'll have to do their jobs. Otherwise, my demonstration would not have become a joke. And if you let yourself lose face in front of Liu Yi and the Lord of the Sky twice, then you really have to consider whether to abandon it. β
Olga? Sabnack, Grouth? Bouel, Shani? With their abilities, Andrasgu should have been able to tell the winner before the time of the drug's effect arrived, but now they can't even fight MS. It took so much time and money on these hardware and software. This made Azraairu very unhappy.
Hangar.
"The whole ship is ready to attack! Repeat, the whole ship is ready to attack! β
The operator's herald sounded in the ship's boat. Those MS also started in the hangar. Shani? Andrasgu, Gurot? Buel, Olga? Sabna overcame the stronger potion than ever before, and flew out of the hatch in his own plane.
"That ...... machine," "Must ......," "Shoot ......him down," the creatures piloting the MS CPUs said coldly.
Operation against Orb was launched again.
Orb.
The Orb Command, which was extremely tired and everyone was tense up, also grasped the dynamics of the Earth Army at this time. As if awakening from a sleep, the dynamics of the relevant mechanisms began to be frequent.
Kaguya Island.
The chiefs were stunned when they received reports of a resumption of the invasion.
"Again ask for talks. I didn't even give an answer! "Uzmi-sama!"
As the crowd looked for further instructions, the country's leaders were furious. "Damn! Is that the answer? Earth Army! After treating us as enemies, don't you even want to talk? β
The seeds haven't been sent away yet, can't even do the final delay, damn it. Do you really want to favor PLANT? There is no future for adjusters! Representative Asgha gritted his teeth and thought.
In the hangar, the personnel are busy preparing for the move.
"The MS group and the air fleet are attacking Kaguya Island as the target!"
The operator's voice came from the loudspeaker, and the M1 heretics were dispatched one after another. The Archangel, which had been in the dockyard to deal with the hit bullets, also started again and headed for the enemy fleet. Assault facilities have been activated all over the island. The bombardment of missiles was like the sky falling apart.
The Orb Army was able to detect the dynamics of the Earth Union, and the Earth Union naturally knew about the movements of the Orb.
"In this situation, Orb has absolutely no chance of winning! Damn it!!! Arriving at the Dawn Gundam, which had been prepared, Kira quickly adjusted her body with a bitter expression. Get ready to strike.
Although the ideal is great, the reality is inevitable. There is no way to stop the attack of the Atlantic Federation and the East Asian Republic.
Kira said lightly, with a calm heart in her words. "I don't want to fight anymore, but. Some things just have to be fought to hold on. "Kira has improved again.
Kaguya Island, an area of engagement.
In the face of this wave of approaching attack short sword troops, the divine soldiers. Kira piloted the Dawn Gundam to quickly lock onto the crosshairs; Less than half a second. Several enemy aircraft were destroyed and blown up. But even so, there were other bodies in the rear that were advancing one after another. There are too many short swords and divine weapons, and the national strength of the Atlantic Federation and the East Asian Republic is not comparable to that of a small Orb. War is fought by national strength.
A small Orb, the Republic of East Asia, and the Atlantic Federation can be killed with MS heaps.
In the face of the MS group of the East Asian Republic, although it was a drop in the bucket, Orb had no choice but to continue fighting. Because Orb is here. An M1 Heresy Gundam that was fighting below was pierced by the beam, scattering in the flames of the explosion. This is not the first M1 heretical Gundam to be blown up, nor will it be the last M1 heretical Gundam.
When the Dawn Gundam quickly crashed down the MS forces of the Earth Alliance, the mech that had been fighting with the Dawn Gundam also came to the battle area of Kaguya Island.
"Cut, is that a mass accelerator, how to fight here!" Looking at the long orbit on Kaguya Island, Olga drove the Calamity Gundam to destroy one M1 heretic Gundam after another at the speed of light? Sabnak said suspiciously.
Azra Aylu said that the mass accelerator and the Dawning Society cannot be broken, so in this kind of war, missiles are all over the sky. On the battlefield where the speed of light is flying, it is very troublesome to keep the mass accelerator.
As for ignoring Azraairul's orders, the pilots of the three mechs who had just received the punishment would not dare. That feeling of life is worse than death, it's terrible.
"That's your business, it's none of my business." Shani, who was piloting the Forbidden Gundam, said as he rushed towards the Dawn Gundam.
"Take care, stupid." The pilot of the Gundam also said happily. As he spoke, he threw the Calamity Gundam on his body, changed from MA form to MS form, and threw a shatter ball at Kira.
Faced with the shattering ball that forcibly snatched the Gundam and the sickle that broke the Gundam, Kira desperately avoided the plane. But he was still almost cut off by the scythe of the Forbidden Gundam.
"Damn...... There is no way to fight back at all. Kira has piloted the fuselage quite nimbly, but in the face of the Forbidden Gundam and the Forbidden Gundam, he can only dodge their attacks. As a last resort. Kira turned on SEED again.
The moment she turned on the SEED, Kira used the two high-energy lightspeed cannons on her backpack to blast at the Forbidden Gundam, only to see that the Forbidden Gundam moved the energy deflection armor on both sides to her chest in time, refracting the speed of light.
The battle between the Dawn Gundam and the Forbidden Gundam and the Forbidden Gundam has once again begun.
The Calamity Gundam, which was thrown onto Kaguya Island, quickly destroyed more than a dozen M1 Heresy Gundams defending the tidal flats of Kaguya Island with weapons such as high-energy long-range beam cannons, multi-phase energy cannons, 2-pack punching guns, and plasma rocket launchers.
As a result, the Gladius Raiders and Divine Soldiers succeeded in seizing the beach, and under the leadership of Calamity Gundam, they destroyed military equipment and M1 Heresy Gundam one after another. The Strike Gundam is doing its best to block the progress of the M1 troops. The Strike Gundam leaps high and fires a 120mm Vulcan cannon in the air, and in the blink of an eye, a small group of Strike Shortswords is gone. However, it alone is active. It's not enough to turn the tide. And soon, the Strike Gundam was beaten like a dead dog by the Calamity Gundam. I don't have any energy at all, I can only run around.
It's the same on the sea. The Archangel's "Gottfried" sank an Earth warship with just one shot, but it could not reverse the numerical inferiority; The Orb fleet sank one by one under the overwhelming fire offensive. Even the navigable ships were left with very few ships, and they still held the line unflinching.
Combat Command of the Orb Army.
"The battle moved to the city of Siarolomu. Received ......"
"The command post of the third theater of operations is destroyed! Please obey the orders of Command Post B......"
"It's... Be... Roger that. The 12th Air Defense Brigade has been annihilated ......"
"The remaining M1 troops will assemble at Kaguya City Hall and reorganize ......"
The operators of the Orb Army Command Post invariably conveyed the situation of the battle with a looming defeat. The same is true on the screens that monitor the entire territory of Orb. Cagalli watched all of this, her lips almost bleeding from her bite. Finally, he couldn't hold back and rushed out.
"Cagalli!" Chisaka grabbed her hand with a backhand, and Cagalli roared. "Let it go! I'm going to go too! β
"Less nonsense!" Chisaka rebuked loudly.
"How can I be here and watch alone!" Cagalli said with tears in his eyes.
Chisaka rebuked: "What is it that the commander has left his post without permission! Learn something for me! Major General Liu Yi is also a super ACE, but have you seen it on the battlefield!! β
"Woo... But! Cagalli finally whimpered. Chisaka scolded again: "Don't cry either!" β
Combat area.
The Forbidden Gundam wields a giant scythe and approaches the Dawn Gundam. Gundam Dawn turned away from the gun, firing a beam of rifle as it fell.
At this time, the wrecking ball roared towards him, and he was about to hit the Gundam of Dawn, but Kira, who had turned on the SEED to detect it in advance, dodged the wrecking ball while returning fire with a lightspeed rifle.
"Ahem, damn it. How to fight this. "Dodging the Forbidden Gundam's scythe, you will face the Gundam's Broken Ball, and when you dodge the Broken Ball, the Forbidden Gundam will fly up close and slash at the scythe. Faced with this kind of suppressed endless battle, Kira said bitterly.
Now Kira is really envious of the shield that can distort light on both sides of the Forbidden Gundam, and if the Dawn Gundam's armor is half as protective against physical bullets as the PS armor, Kira won't have to fight so hard.
Kira is envious of the abilities of the other body, and it is not a headache for Kira's Dawn Gundam to break the Gundam and forcibly take the Gundam. A large number of weapons have been sealed, which is very troublesome. In the eyes of the two pilots, if it weren't for this golden armor, the MS in front of them would have been knocked down eight hundred years ago.
"Tsk......! It's tough! Shaniri, who was piloting the Forbidden Gundam, took a hard sip. After a half-hour stalemate without taking down the Dawn Gundam, Shani was a little angry.
"Bastard! This rotten MS! Gurot, who was driving the Gundam by force, also cursed. The large number of weapons in the mech's body were ineffective against the Dawn Gundam, and the entire Capture Gundam could not exert one-third of its combat power, which made Gurot very uncomfortable. The light-speed reflection is disgusting.
Azraaairu, who was witnessing the battle from the bridge of the USS Powell, furrowed his smooth eyebrows. Dissatisfied and whispered: "Those three guys, strengthen them like this, and they can't get a result!" It seems that education is not enough. β
After such a long time, he still hasn't captured Orb, which makes Azra Airu, who has already lost face in front of the Lord of the Sky and Liu Yi, very dissatisfied.
With their ability, they should have been able to bulldoze Orb a long time ago, banning the Gundam and forcibly taking one of the Gundam to drag the strange golden MS, and the remaining two to attack Orb himself, Orb had already been beaten down under their leadership, as for the delay to this time.
Azraairu sighed and shook his head. Dissatisfied, he said, "It seems that there is no way to realize my wish to dine on land today." It's a pity. β
The Forbidden Gundam and the Forbidden Gundam were restrained by the Dawn Gundam, and although they were beaten very miserably, the Strike Gundam also slightly restrained the attention of the Calamity Gundam, so that the Calamity Gundam could not play to its full strength, and the location of the battle was Kaguya Island, one of the Orb Islands. It is the spaceport of Orb, and the place where the mass accelerator existed, the main cause of this battle. The Calamity Gundam Rat Thrower, which received the order "The Mass Accelerator and the Aurora Society cannot be destroyed", had no way to exert its amazing destructive power to its full potential. It is precisely these reasons that allow Orb to barely support under the attack of the MS group of the Earth Union.
However, it was only a matter of time before Orb was captured. The United Earth Army is too large. Far from being able to resist Orb.
The M1 Heresy Gundam, which Orb relied on and regarded as the power that guarded Orb's ideas, had already been defeated by less than 200 units. Now relying on the advantage of geographical advantages, he is reluctant to fight with the earth. It is also normal when the flames of Orb's rebellion are extinguished.
In the final moments of Orb's destruction, some of the people were called to the control room to assemble and prepare to leave Orb.
Orb's country can be destroyed, citizens can be sacrificed, but the idea must be preserved, and the last spark must be sent. (To be continued......)
