Chapter 304: The Battle Begins!

PS: (Ask for subscription, ask for tickets~~ The first chapter is here!) )

Liu Qi's daily life is quite leisurely now, helping others during the day and piloting the Airlord to master flying skills, and then flirting/teasing Malu from time to time, and going directly to Bucky Lulu's room at night to sleep with the beauty's ketone body in her arms.

Time flew by in this rare calm and leisure, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed since the day Liu Qi and the others went to Baladia.

C.E. 28 Am 02/71

After a whole week of preparation and rest, the Archangel, which had reached the best state of both supplies and personnel, finally started its engine again, and more than a dozen desert tracks and off-road vehicles from the Dawn Desert drove in front of it, moving quickly in the direction of the Red Sea.

As a matter of a few days, the three of them reached an agreement with Seb Ashima that the Dawn Desert would fully assist the Archangel in breaking through, and the Archangel would try its best to help the Dawn Desert seize the eastern port city occupied by the Desert Tigers.

After the three of them discussed, of course, they agreed to this kind of thing without any expense - anyway, that place is now occupied by Zaft, and the Archangel will also follow the route of the breakout, so why not be happy to be able to pull up the group of help in the Dawn Desert? As for whether the wish of the Dawn Desert can be fulfilled by then, that is another matter.

So in the words of the Dawn Desert family saying goodbye to their father, son, and brother, dozens of desert tracked vehicles and off-road vehicles in the Dawn Desert, which held hope for the future, rushed out of the canyon, and the huge figure of the Archangel also followed

In less than ten minutes the Archangel appeared in the desert

In the command room of a large land warship Zaft hundreds of kilometers away

"Sir, this is the new ship of the United Earth Force discovered by satellites, and these small vehicles are judged to be rebels in the Dawn Desert!"

After the chief officer of information analysis saw his captain walk into the command room with his adjutant and two red-clothed elites, he immediately stood up and saluted his commander and reported.

"It's long legs!!"

Yitzhak couldn't help but shout as he looked at the unusually familiar battleship on the screen, and the scar on his face became hideous.

"Is it to break through to the ruins of the Talbadia Industrial Zone, if I were the commander of the other side, I would also choose to break out in this direction"

Andrew Bartfield, a desert tiger in the prime of life, looked at the screen, and quickly calculated the location of the Archangel and the surrounding terrain map in his mind before saying in a somewhat praising tone.

"Captain"

The lieutenant of the Desert Tiger suddenly became a little flustered when he heard his boss's words, and hurriedly reminded him - now is not the same as before, when only the members of the Barterfield team didn't care, and the two red-clad elites of the Kreuzer team, Yitzhak and Diaca, were still in the command room, right? The adjutants who vaguely knew that these two red-clothed elite backgrounds didn't want their boss to be reprimanded or punished by the top for sympathizing with the enemy.

"I still want to wait a day or two before we take the initiative to attack, it seems that there is no way"

Andrew Barterfield apparently understood what his lieutenant meant, and he immediately changed the subject, not wanting to eat the top row again.

"Are you going to attack??"

Yitzhak, who already hated the Strike Gundam and the Archangel, immediately interjected.

"Well, Resepus is out! Altitude 02!In addition, inform the Dietrie and the Henry Cata to come and join us at once!"

In response to Yitzhak's sudden speech, the Desert Tiger regained his composure after frowning slightly, and then ordered the personnel in the command room.

"Yes!"

The two communications men in the battleship's command room immediately began to contact the two nearest Zaft land battleships.

"Others are ready for battle!"

The Desert Tiger looked at Yitzhak and Diaca on the side, and said meaningfully.

"Yes!"

Itsák and Diaca saluted

More than an hour later

Gnaku on the Archangel number

"Wait a minute, Kira and I will be in charge of those enemies after the attack, and you can directly contain the enemy on the periphery!"

In the midst of the preparation for inspection by the training squad personnel, Mu hugged his helmet and commanded Liu Qi and Kira with a straight face, of course, what he focused on was Liu Qi, who still belonged to the rookie pilot in his eyes.

In fact, except for Liu Qi himself and Bucky Lulu, it is estimated that no one else, including Maliu, Kira, and Mu, thought that Liu Qi would be able to achieve any results and achievements in this battle - it was one thing for Liu Qi to be able to skillfully manipulate the Air Overlord, but it was another thing to fight Zaft in the Air Overlord.

"Don't worry, I'm not a child, I know what I can do and what I can't"

Regarding Mu's words of underestimating himself, Liu Qi looked indifferent and nodded yes.

Liu Qi didn't have the interest to refute the poor worm Mu, anyway, when he got to the battlefield, he relied on his personal expression, and the real achievements were far more powerful than empty words!

"Hmph, I hope so!"

Mu looked at Liu Qi, who didn't answer his words, and wished in his heart that this guy would be beaten down by Zaft as soon as he appeared, and then left with a word.

"Well, Mr. Liu Qi, don't take it to heart, the major is just saying"

Kira, who was on the side, didn't speak until after Mu left, trying to reconcile the tension between Liu Qi and Mu.

"yes, I didn't take it to heart, let's fight on the battlefield later, this time the enemy is quite strong!"

Liu Qi looked at Kira and said in a calm tone.

Indeed, of course, he will not meet the same as Zai Mu, who will soon be out of the game in his plan, compared to the air battle he is more looking forward to for a while, even the NZT can't stop Liu Qi's blood from boiling fast.

"Huh?! Good! Come on!"

Seeing the strong fighting intent in Liu Qi's eyes, Kira, who had planned to persuade her, became a little confused, and only reacted after Liu Qi said it.

"Hurry up! Ready to board!"

The Ganaku staff on the side saw that the two were still chatting, and hurriedly urged on the side, you may encounter enemies at any time, and there is no time for you to chat here. Being urged like this, Kira and Liu Qi couldn't continue to chat, and directly waved their hands into their respective cockpits to stand by.

Ten minutes later

Gnaku

"Enemy tracks spotted!!"

"Strike Gundam! Airlord!! Strike now!!"

Accompanied by the shouts and sirens of the ship's communications officers, Lieutenant Bucky Lulu's command echoed throughout the Gnaku.

"AirKing 1! Sortie!!"

"Strike Gundam! Sortie!!"

With two shouts from the communication channel, Mu and Kira both catapulted off the runway in their respective cars.

"Air-King 2 is ready! Ready to go! ”

Milia Lia's voice began to remind Liu Qi in the Airmaster 2 communicator.

"Private Liu Qi, remember that you have not conducted formal flight training at present, and you do not have actual combat experience, so the purpose of your attack this time is to harass the enemy as much as possible!"

Bucky Lulu said from the communication channel with some concern.

"Don't worry! I understand! Air-King 2! Sortie!!"

Although Liu Qi wanted to have a love affair with Bucky Lulu at this time, considering that he was now fighting and Malu and the others were on the bridge, he could only comfort Bucky Lulu with affirmative words in the end, and then set off directly!

With a shout, the Airmaster No. 2 was launched under Liu Qi's control, accompanied by several tail flames, and the blue-white body took off from the catapult runway!

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Boom—"

"Whoosh-whoosh-"

In the desert, the Archangel and the Dawn Desert had already begun a battle with Zaft's side, and more than 20 Zaft helicopter gunships were coming towards the Archangel like a group of death vultures, and the sound of on-board artillery fire and missile launches and explosions was endless. However, the Strike Gundam and Air-King 1, which had just sorted, knew that these were just appetizers, and were cooperating with the firepower net on the Archangel to get rid of these pesky flies.

"Two land warships! Baku five! Six units of the shelling MS Zaut! Duel Gundam and Storm Gundam! Eighteen gunships are wrong, there are seventeen left!"

Liu Qi, who was piloting the Airmaster No. 2, had just ejected it, and the scan of spiritual power emitted told Liu Qi the number of enemies that had appeared on the battlefield.

"Prioritize those gunships!"

With this thought in mind, Liu Qi flexibly controlled the Air Overlord to dodge the attack of the two Zaft helicopter gunships, and Liu Qi directly aimed at the target and prepared to fire.

So, then everyone on the bridge of the Archangel saw a very powerful scene. Equipped with the Strike Gundam Sword Combat Equipment, the Airmaster 2 is not at all like a newcomer who has just learned to fly, but is as comfortable as a seasoned ace pilot, firing from time to time to take away a Zaft's gunship, while his dexterous figure is completely unhit by the enemy's return fire.

More than a dozen Zaft's helicopter gunships were completely wiped out by Liu Qi and the Archangel in just three minutes, and there was still some distance from the position of the Archangel before the Baku released by the enemy.

"Machine 2, good job, but then it's not so easy!"

Liu Qi's appearance not only surprised everyone on the bridge of the Archangel, but even Mu, the person who had the worst relationship with Liu Qi, nodded secretly after seeing it, so Mu's tone was much better.

"Assault on Gundam and Dawn Desert are in charge of those Baku, and the Skylord harasses those two warships, let's go!"

After a little compliment, Mu issued this arrangement.

"Good!"

Liu Qi, who was in the cockpit, agreed, and Liu Qi solved the several Zaft's gunships that he had just killed with only aerial guns, and even the beam cannon and the sword battle equipment of the Gundam were useless, and he was about to rush down to kill a Baku to try.

The two Airlords circled slightly and rushed directly into the air towards Zaft's two land warships.

"Kira, there is a special Baku behind the five Baku, it is the captain machine!! Also, the Archangel, I seem to see a new battleship!"

Liu Qi drove the Airmaster No. 2 to get close to the Zaft battleship, which was much weaker in firepower, directly pulled up the Airmaster, and then evaded the anti-aircraft fire with a nearly 90-degree vertical sprint action and sent two missiles and two beam guns to the battleship, directly destroying a main turret and an artillery tracked MS.

"Captain Baku? Okay, I saw it!"

After Kira, who had just shot a Baku with one shot, received Liu Qi's reminder, Kira, who happened to jump to avoid another Baku, saw a golden and red Baku captain machine appear in his line of sight, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Another new ship??"

The people on the bridge of the Archangel, who were busy fighting with the two large land warships of Zaft, were still a little unconvinced, but when the radar screen and the explosion came from the Archangel, they had to accept the cruel truth. This is not the end, the next situation of the Archangel can only be described by a sentence of leakage and rain, the shock brought by the new battleship arranged by the Zaft side in front of the ambush has not passed, and the Archangel, who is eager to move its position, is stuck on the edge of the ruins of the original industrial area because the pilot is not high.

Of course, Zaft's side will not let go of this kind of good opportunity, and the three Zaft's battleships, except for the one that was almost completely scrapped by Liu Qi and Mu - the land battleship whose turret and MS were directly knocked out can only be used as a transport ship even if the power system is intact, and this battle is useless.

The remaining two Zaft large battleships, the Duel Gundam, the Storm Gundam, and several shelled Marine MSs did not hesitate to pour all their firepower on the target called the Archangel.

After losing its mobility, the Archangel could only use its own armor and firepower to fight back in the face of this saturation firepower, but depending on the situation, if the situation is not improved, the damage is a matter of time.

It stands to reason that at this time, the Strike Gundam should play the role of a lone hero, go directly to the front, put in N efforts, and risk N many dangers to destroy the two Zaft's warships and save the Archangel from danger. However, it is a pity that the Strike Gundam is currently competing with the Captain of Baku's special installation Raghu, and in the face of the experienced and husband and wife Desert Tiger couple driving Raghu, Kira is currently entangled and unable to pull away, and it is expected that he will not be able to save the Archangel for a while.

"Machine 1, I'll leave it to you here, I'll deal with the new big ship behind me!"

Seeing this slightly different situation from the original plot, Liu Qi could only say it in the communicator, and then directly handed over the most difficult task to Mu, and drove the Airmaster to the newly emerged battleship, leaving the Repses, which had only been destroyed by one shelling MS and two damaged battleship parts, to Mu to deal with - the Duel Gundam and Storm Gundam were serving as fixed firepower here, and the most powerful of the three land battleships, the Desert Tiger flagship, was obviously much more solid than the two ones, and it was an absolute hard bone!

"Bastard!"

In the communication channel, Mu didn't know who he was scolding, but he just dodged a beam of energy fired by the Storm Gundam and took the opportunity to blast away a shelled MS that fired at the Archangel, he should be scolding Zaft, right? Should be!

"Dead fish!"

Liu Qi didn't pay attention to Mu's complaints in the communication channel, and directly fired to KO several Zaft gunships that appeared with the new warship and tried to intercept him, and the Airlord No. 2 drove towards the Zaft battleship that was ambushing.

"Aerial acrobatics begins!"

Looking at the anti-aircraft fire in the direction where the battleship below began to move, Liu Qi, who clearly felt the firing direction and ballistic position of the battleship below, simply pressed the steering stick, and the air overlord instantly dived down.

In Liu Qi's shouting, the Air Overlord flexibly adjusted his direction in the air, completely ignoring the anti-aircraft fire below.

When the Airlord who flew quickly towards the land battleship of Zaft was about to reach the sky above the opponent's ship, Liu Qi pressed a button in vain and shot out the steel in front of the fuselage for emergency fixation, nailing it directly to the outer wall of the Zaft battleship!

At the same time, the Strike Gundam Sword Chopper mounted on the AirKing's fuselage quickly hung down from the wings, and the laser cutting function was directly activated!

"Click--Click-"

Under Liu Qi's operation, the Airlord was led by the retracted steel package to fly through the gap between the second and third turrets of the Zaft Land Battleship, and after crossing a perfect arc, the Airlord directly retracted the fixed steel cable and flew into the sky.

"Boom-" "Boom-"

The Airlord's flying dodge skills like performing acrobatics are of course dazzling, but the personnel in the extremely squeezing Zaft battleship below definitely don't have this appreciation-although the Airlord didn't launch missiles or beam cannons when he dived down just now, the straight down sword and laser blade were directly cut off by Liu Qi's five or six turrets and several large-caliber guns like a hot knife cutting tofu. Then violent explosions and flames rose in these places.

"Knock that plane down for me!!"

With the roar of the captain of the Zaft land battleship, more than a dozen missiles were launched by the half-crippled Zaft battleship, and pounced towards the air overlord who had just turned around in the air and was about to do it again.

"Cut, when I'm Cagalli's green blonde lion cub"

Liu Qi 'saw' that the missile had just been launched, and then under his operation, more than a dozen missiles either hit the air or were detonated by him with a large-caliber machine cannon -- as Liu Qi, who had absorbed Mu's driving experience and reaction nerves, there was no pressure on such a small probability of luck as a machine gun hitting missiles, not to mention a 360-degree three-dimensional reconnaissance method with no dead ends.

Then the Air Overlord No. 2, which had been emptied of the threat, swooped down again directly under Liu Qi's control, and with Liu Qi's joint attack of missiles, beam cannons, and ship swords, this Zaft's battleship also followed in the footsteps of its predecessors, and directly changed from a mighty land warship to a disarmed transport ship - or the kind of high-risk transport ship that smokes and explodes from time to time.

"Unit 2! Hurry up and come and support!! Suppress that battleship with Unit 1!!"

Liu Qi had just pulled up the Airlord and was about to admire the work he had made from above, when Bucky Lulu's anxious voice came from the communicator.

"Okay, I'll be right over!!"

Hearing Bucky Lulu's words, he hurriedly glanced at the battleship below that was already unrecognizable and emitted dense black smoke and fire, Liu Qi immediately agreed, and then manipulated the air overlord to leave, and went to the other side to harass Mu who was trying to harass but did not have much success.

The Skylord simply turned around and left, leaving only a Zaft battleship that kept emitting black smoke and fire, stuck in place and at a loss.

Retreat, right? They retreated without receiving an order to retreat, but they had to go to court-martial. Continuing to fulfill the offensive mission? After losing all the helicopter gunships and turrets on board, there are only a few missile tubes left on the battleship, and with this residual armament, will they go up and send them to death or send them to death?

The captain who was entangled for a moment simply stopped in place and sent a message to the Repses that our ship was damaged and could not continue the battle and was being repaired quickly, and then simply played soy sauce on the side. (To be continued......)
