Chapter 31: The Battle of Life and Death (1)

The number of combatants was less than one-third of the standard number, and the stock of supplies and ammunition was insufficient, and even the five Mobile Suits and three fighters were only equipped with the Strike Gundam and Zero, as well as two Air King wingmen.

And their enemies ... It seems that with the exception of one Jean that Flagg sank in space, it was only the sacrifice of two Jeans on the ground.

Even if it's just the firepower configuration in the original book, the amount of power that Zaft hides in space is absolutely terrifying. Two space battleships aside, just four X-Series Mobile Suits that were taken away would be enough to sink several ordinary spaceships.

Although the Archangel, like these five mechs, is the latest superweapon researched on Earth. This all-weather supership is equipped with a heat-insulating colloid, so it can break into the atmosphere on its own; Secondly, it is also equipped with laminated armor, making it difficult to be severely damaged in battle.

As for firepower, in addition to the ship's airframe, in terms of attack, the Archangel also has two "Lohengri" (Lohengri) Yang electronic city breakers;

"Gottfried Mk-71" 225mm (Goldfeldt, also known as the main gun) two;

two high-energy beam guns "Valient Mk-8" (Bariant);

110mm linear railgun "Igelstellung", 16 75mm automatic multi-barreled CIWS (Balkan gun) anti-missile missile launch tubes;

(Hell-Dart) 24 large missile launch tubes at the stern; Four anti-submarine torpedoes.

…

But again, no matter how good the firepower configuration is, there are no people who can use these things, and there is not enough ammunition, even if the firepower is powerful, it will not be able to play at all.

However, it is impossible to avoid contact even now.

Trapped in the huge "prison" of Heriopolis, they will either be slowly surrounded and eaten by the other side, or they will immediately break through and fight the other side head-on...

It seems that no matter how you pick, it is a dead end.

Given this situation, Kira didn't make Marludo bother, as in the original book. The system's mission has been given to shoot down at least one X-Series Gundam in the process of breaking away from Heriopolis. If he doesn't do anything but sit in the boat, he'll probably be able to reach the next world soon...

Carrying 15,000 negative points!

Of course, Kira can't sit back and watch this happen, he doesn't have the ability to dismantle the Gundam with his bare hands, but as long as he can drive the assault... But there is no chance to lose.

"Okay, I'll promise you to drive the assault."

Although he didn't resist in his heart, Kira remained silent on the surface... He didn't know how long the mission would last, and if it was until after Josh-A sabotaged the plan, then his identity as an adjuster would be very troublesome.

At the very least, we can't create any more of these problems.

…

The outcome of the negotiations was very satisfying to Maliu, but the joy had not even been fully digested when the piercing sirens sounded throughout the battleship again.

"All staff, first-level combat configuration, repeat, Archangel, first-level combat configuration, all combat personnel, please return to their posts immediately."

It hasn't been half an hour since what just happened, but the enemy's counteroffensive has already arrived... It seems that he caught the traces of the archangel before leaving, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry.

"This is Marius Ramias, what's going on?"

Pressing the pager in the aisle, the captain immediately inquired like the cockpit, and almost at the same time Muna's calm, convincing voice began to sound.

"Come back here, now you're the captain of this ship."

"Hey, me?"

"I can't help it, although I have more experience than you, I don't know about this ship at all."

"This..."Without further hesitation, Malu knew very well that the speed of Zaft's counterattack would come soon" I understood. ”

Hanging up, Malu turned her gaze to Kira again.

"Kira..."

"I understand."

Needless to say, he has also been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Perhaps, Zaft is desperate for a chance to get revenge, but isn't Kira, isn't she ready to go?

Turning, he ran towards the bridge at a much faster pace than Captain Maliu, leaving only the rest of the others who were still stunned with their spirited backs.

Even if this battle is a battle where you have to risk your life to have a chance to win, even if every second after that is at risk of becoming cosmic garbage and losing your life, there is no fear in Kira's face that turns his back to everyone...

It's a strange feeling.

From his own point of view, it was probably the emotional backlash brought about by the powerful power after experiencing such a ridiculous and outrageous thing as trading with the gods.

Kira, who has always been perfectly controlled by emotions and actions, couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth at the moment, even if he knew that his chances of winning this duel would never exceed 30%.

But he just couldn't control it, as if the target of his attack was not the terrifying cosmic graveyard, but the ladder of plundering the honor of the warriors!

The instinct to destroy and kill began to affect his emotions, and he felt immeasurable force begin to creep through his body, and all the emotions that were still uncertain or unconfident were eliminated...

Perhaps even he didn't know what to say, and the crazy look on his face became heavier and heavier. And Kira's eyes began to reveal a look that was sometimes loose, sometimes condensed, sometimes deep, and sometimes crazy!

Dressed in his combat uniform as fast as he could, he slipped into the cockpit of the Strike Gundam without saying a word in front of Captain Flagg. The cacophony of sirens continued, but it didn't affect Kira in the slightest.

He was still excited just now, but after he entered the cockpit, he fell silent, he waited, not caring about the feelings of anyone around him, and seemed to have a full view of everything around him.

It wasn't until Miria's familiar voice came from the communicator again that he seemed to "regain his senses".

"Kira, the situation is urgent, you should follow Captain Flagg and set off as soon as possible."

"Understood."

Not at all like a rookie who has just started up, Kira's voice is sophisticated and calm.

"X-105 Strike Gundam..."

…

"Let's go!!"

In this way, with a murderous aura that almost froze, the steel giant crossed the acceleration trajectory without restraint, and then fearlessly rushed into the sky.
