Chapter 305: The Desert Tiger's Curtain Call

PS: (Ask for subscription, ask for tickets~~)

Compared with the situation in the original book, there is more Liu Qi, a much more reliable pilot than Cagalli who piloted the Airlord for the first time in the original plot - mainly because Liu Qi is very shameless!

The Airmaster piloted by Liu Qi cooperated with friendly forces to not only destroy the opponent's helicopter group in advance, but also destroyed two land warships of Zaft, and the situation of the Archangel was much stronger.

However, compared to the Repses, which has strong firepower and can carry MS, the Archangel that was stuck in place is still extremely difficult, although Mu is involved in part of the opponent's firepower, but the Duel Gundam and Storm Gundam are still attacking wantonly on the ship, and several powerful artillery shelling MS Zaut also come up from time to time to join in the fun, which makes the people on the Archangel as uncomfortable as a wooden ship in a storm.

At this time, the Strike Gundam piloted by Kira was still fighting with the special Baku piloted by Andrew Bartfield and his wife, and he would not be able to free his hands to solve the siege for a while.

At this time, Marlu and Bucky Lulu on the bridge saw Liu Qi over there and were triumphantly ready to appreciate their results, of course, they directly caught the strong man.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Hum—"

"Boom-"

The Repsis is now like a steel hedgehog that spews red dots and beams of light all over its body, moving across the desert while pouring fire on the Archangel, which is not far from it.

Mu's Airmaster 1 circled in the air from time to time and then fired black guns while the fire network below was sparse, but the Repses, whose anti-aircraft firepower was not weak, made it difficult for his efforts to work.

"Unit 1, I'm here to help!"

At this time, Liu Qi drove the Airmaster No. 2 plane and finally rushed to the sky above the Repsis and joined Mu together.

"Hurry up, let's attack from two sides separately, and destroy the firepower point on this battleship when we find an opportunity!"

Now that Mu felt anxious, he was overjoyed when he heard that Liu Qi, the guy he hated the most, arrived, and directly put aside his previous feeling of unhappiness and even disgust, and prepared to cooperate with Liu Qi to attack - this is mainly because Liu Qi's previous appearance of piloting the Air Overlord was too good, even if Mu expected to put himself in Liu Qi's position, he felt that at most he would do his kind of Cheng Dù.

“OK!”

Liu Qi agreed while manipulating the air defense fire of the air overlord to evade the interception, and then the steering stick pushed and swung into the dense air defense fire network in a strange arc, and the air master flexibly approached the enemy from the dense air defense fire.

"1, 2, 3? Duel Gundam actually left the battleship without permission? If you're lucky, give me a blast!!"

The spiritual power 'looked' at the surrounding firepower network and the firepower points and targets below, and Liu Qi silently calculated the timing of his attack in his heart.

Although it was a pity that the Duel Gundam, which was regarded as one of the intended targets, suddenly jumped down from the battleship, Liu Qi didn't have the heart to deal with this iron turtle equipped with PS armor, and he didn't pay attention to it after seeing the target who was about to leave suddenly, and launched an attack directly!

So, in the cockpit of the Storm Gundam below, Diaca, who was aiming at the Archangel and kept firing, saw the following scene.

There was already a big fly buzzing in the surrounding sky, and when it swooped and harassed from time to time, another big fly came. But when Diaca, who didn't care about it, was about to continue the attack, he found that the big fly that had just arrived swooped down, and then bypassed the fire net formed by himself and several surrounding anti-aircraft turrets in a strange arc.

"Whoa—"

"Whoosh-whoosh-"

"All to all"

Before Diaca and the Zaft soldiers in the turret could react and adjust the fire net, all the firepower of the Skylord poured down.

"Boom-"

"Boom—"

After a few explosions, almost the entire turret on the bridge was directly lifted by the missile and turned into a burning torch, and there was also a land artillery combat MS that was directly hit by the beam cannon of the Air King and turned into exploding fireworks.

"I'm #@¥¥#"

Although the Storm Gundam was not damaged due to the PS armor, it was not at all uncomfortable to be almost blown off by the explosion of a shell inside one of the surrounding turrets, and Diaca, who hit his head in the cockpit with a gold star in his eyes, exploded directly in the Storm Gundam - if it wasn't for the helmet protection, at least it would have been a concussion.

Liu Qi, who was driving the Airlord and abusing the other party, of course didn't know Diaca's resentment, and the Airlord, who had just finished pouring firepower in his control, lowered and activated the Gundam's ship slasher, and then flashed directly on the two main turrets of the Repsis that were firing cannonballs at the Archangel.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

The turret suddenly became two. Then, after two violent explosions, the firepower of the entire Repses dropped to less than half of its peak.

"Oye—"

Feeling the feeling of being vibrated by the explosion shock wave behind him when the Airlord was climbing, Liu Qi, who had just said that he could almost describe it in two words, shouted directly.

Mu on the other side did not miss the opportunity, and took advantage of this opportunity to directly use the powerful artillery battle type "Fire God" to lift the other main turret away.

The Repsis, which had only 30% of its firepower, had basically lost its threat to the Archangel - now it could not stop the two Airlords from taking turns to sweep through the sky even if it had an angry Storm Gundam that kept sweeping the sky, and keeping itself safe was now the first thing the Repsis commander had to consider, as for the Archangel to line up after the two hateful fighters in the sky.

Not to mention how the Repsis and the Storm Gundam on it, which also began to develop into high-risk transports, painfully faced the ravages of the two Skylords, and not to mention the other two Zaft high-risk transport ships that stopped for maintenance and the Duel Gundam that was manipulated by the Dawn Desert convoy in the desert, the only thing left on the battlefield is the Strike Gundam piloted by the Desert Tigers Andrew and Kira.

As for the Archangel number? Well, now that the Archangel is now ignored by the enemy, he is trying to adjust his direction, trying to extricate himself from this embarrassing situation where he can't be a live target when he moves, and it will take some time to adjust to the appearance of the Archangel

On the battlefield of Strike Gundam and Lagu (the name of the Baku captain model).

"The Repses is about to lose its combat effectiveness? Damn it! Three warships and so many warplanes can't beat the opponent's two air lords."

Andrew Bartfield had just narrowly avoided the two beam guns of the Gundam when he received a terrible news, after the helicopter gunship group was completely destroyed, five Baku were destroyed, and two secondary land warships were damaged and waiting for repairs, and then came the bad news that his own car was destroyed.

However, just as the Desert Tiger received the bad news and roared in a moment, and did not dodge it in time, a beam of energy from the opposite side broke one of Ragu's forelimbs.

"Andy! Don't worry, it will get worse!"

Andrew's wife, Aisha, noticed that her husband had lost his sense of normalcy, and quickly called Andrew Barttfield his nickname, and comforted him to calm down against the enemy in front of him.

"I know!"

Andrew said with a hideous expression, and then the movements of Raghu, who had lost one limb, regained his agility, and he dodged several energy beams fired by the Strike Gundam gun one after another.

“”

Seeing that her lover had regained her composure during the battle, Aisha reattached the scope in front of her to adjust the shooting angle, and then directly destroyed the beam gun in the hand of the Strike Gundam with a beam cannon!

"Good! Rush up!"

When the Desert Tiger saw his lover's blow, he directly launched the Raghu Dash, and then went head-to-head with the Strike Gundam, which had lost its ranged weapon. However, it is a pity that this time Raghu's action was not a success, and the Strike Gundam directly drew out the beam sword and rushed past Raghu, Kira paid the price of cutting a piece of the wing on the back of the Strike Gundam into two pieces, and scrapped one of the beam cannons on Raghu's back, which was definitely earned.

However, on the other side, the newly liberated Archangel used its own firepower to cripple the increasingly miserable Repsis, which was being bullied by the two Air Lords, and the two Air Kings also lost no time in rushing down to cut the flesh of the Repses.

Looking at the Repses, which was not far from being scrapped, Andrew, who was confronting the Raid Gundam, opened the communication channel with the Repses command center and said, "Dagauss!"

"Yes! Captain!"

When Desert Tiger Adjutant, who was busy in the fire room inside the Repses, heard his commander's voice, he immediately put down the urgency at hand and went to the communicator to listen to his captain's instructions.

"Order to abandon ship!"

The Desert Tiger's voice was a little subdued, but it was unusually firm.

"Captain?"

Da Gos was a little incredulous and hurriedly said.

You must know that giving up the flagship of your own squad in Zaft is basically no different from abolishing the squad system, and the production capacity in Zaft has not yet reached the point where the local tyrant Cheng Dù who lost one to replenish two, and even the lost Baku could not be replenished in time before, and it is impossible to re-produce a Repses, not to mention the loss of two secondary warships, Baku, helicopters, etc.

"Now that the victory on the battlefield has been decided, gather the remnants and get in touch with the Gibraltar base as soon as you withdraw to Baladia!"

Andrew didn't explain much to his adjutant and directly issued a series of orders.

"Captain—"

Andrew ignored the voice of Dagors trying to continue asking in the communicator, and directly turned off the communicator on Raghu.

"You can go too! Aisha"

Andrew looked at his lover and said in a gentle tone.

"If you do this, you might as well die happily"

Aisha, who was wearing a light white driver's suit, said leisurely, revealing a hint of firmness and unshakability in her tone.

"You're stupid too"

Andrew looked down at Aisha, who was sitting below him, and said with a wry smile and some relief that there was still someone who would follow him at this time. It's a kind of luck

"Say whatever you want"

Aisha said indifferently, and at the same time she adjusted the sight of Raghu's energy beam gun again.

"Then charge with me!"

Andrew didn't say much other words to comfort Aisha, and directly manipulated Raghu to rush towards the opposite Strike Gundam!

On other battlefields, Zaft's three battleships came to a standstill, and all the survivors evacuated the three high-risk transports that were now only targets in vehicles under the orders of the Captain of the Preses, and the Duel Gundam and Storm Gundam followed in the sky to cover their evacuation.

With no one chasing them, the men of the Dawn Desert are taking over the three wrecked ships and looting the battlefield, while the two Skylords and Archangels begin to move closer to the battlefield of Gundam and Raghu to prepare for the last enemy.

But it's a pity that they are no longer needed, the Desert Tiger, who is already determined to die, ignores Kira, who keeps persuading Kira to surrender on the public channel, and finally Lagu was hit by the Strike Gundam that disarmed the PS armor because the energy was about to run out, and the Dagger directly pierced the control system and exploded, and the Desert Tiger fell the curtain in an explosion - of course, Liu Qi knew that it was a temporary end!

The battle with the Desert Tigers was over, and the remnants of Zaft, under Andrew's last orders, retreated directly into Baladia, and began to ask for help from the Zaft base in Gibraltar, and at the same time gave up control of the deserts around Baladia - to be precise, after losing eighty percent of the mobile force and almost all of the Baku and helicopter gunships, as the Bartfield team had lost the actual control of the area around Baladia, and could only hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements.

After looting the remaining weapons and supplies on the Zaft side on the battlefield, the Dawn Desert successfully obtained the port city control they wanted, and without the interception of Andrew Barterfield, the desert tiger, the Archangel's direct road to the Red Sea was completely opened, and both sides were happy.

Because of the drastic reduction of the Desert Tigers and Zaft's military power in North Africa, Malu did not even choose to set off immediately, but let the Archangel return to the secret base of the Dawn Desert with the loot looted on the battlefield in the Dawn Desert, and then let the people who had just won the victory celebrate this rare victory.

So that night, in the secret base of the Dawn Desert, everyone held a celebration party to exterminate the tiger, and everyone including Malu and others drank to celebrate.

Fortunately, Zaft, who was closest to him, had just lost his captain and almost all his heavy equipment during the day, and could only maintain order in the city of Baladia and ask for help from Gibraltar, otherwise Zaft might have been kicked by the enemy if he returned to the carbine.

Liu Qi, as a person who is second only to Kira in the daytime, was specially allowed to drink with Malu, Baki Lulu, Mu and others, but Liu Qi, who was holding the dirty/dirty thought of whether to get Malu and Baki Lulu drunk and cook raw rice directly into cooked rice, was interrupted by the prayer ceremony in the Dawn Desert just before he had time to drink a glass of wine, and then watched a mourning and commemoration ceremony with North African national characteristics - although Liu Qi just watched it as a lively watch, but the expressions of the others were very strict and serious, Even Bucky Lulu didn't know what else she thought of when she looked at it, and directly raised her hand and gave a military salute.

But after being made by this strict atmosphere, it is a little unsuitable to have a so-called celebration party, at least there are few people in the Dawn Desert who still maintain the posture of drinking and eating meat and making noise at the beginning, and the members of the Archangel who are with them are not too happy in front of the silent and sullen drinking each other.

So in the end, except for the laughter of those children in the Dawn Desert, the whole celebration party turned into a silent dinner, and the atmosphere was directly lowered to the freezing point. After Maliu, Liu Qi, Bucky Lulu and the others hurriedly filled their stomachs in this situation, they directly said goodbye to Sebu Ashima, who was drinking with a stuffy head, and returned to the Archangel to rest directly, while Sebu Asuma apologized and left

The morning after the battle with the Desert Tigers

The Archangel began to count and organize all its belongings, preparing to leave the Libyan desert and head to the Red Sea.

However, when the Archangel was about to set off for one last check, a certain blonde lion cub suddenly found the three Malu who were about to say goodbye to Sebu Ashima and get on the ship.

"I told you to take me! If you have any problems with supplies or anything else, I'll be able to help you!"

In front of a stockpile, Cagalli, the blonde lion, spoke loudly to the three Malu and the Sabu Ashma who had sent them out.

"But"

Looking at Sebu Ashuma on the side, who did not speak, obviously acquiescing to Cagalli's actions, Malu looked embarrassed, and at the same time Malu turned her head to look at Bucky Lulu behind her, but Bucky Lulu obviously didn't want to participate in this kind of thing, so when she saw Maliu's pleading gaze, she turned her head to the side as if nothing happened, obviously not planning to relieve Maliu. Mu, on the other hand, sat directly on the wooden box on the side, watching them talk with a good look of fun.

"Of course, I didn't ask you to take me to Alaska, and I didn't mean to join the Earth Army. But you need me now, don't you?"

Cagalli said with a look on my mind.

"We need you??"

Mu looked at Cagalli with a strange expression, and Marlu and Bucky Lulu did the same. If Cagalli also showed a very good driving talent in the original plot, what she said made people feel a little important, but now that Liu Qi has stolen the scene and the battle table is perfect, Cagalli is completely soy sauce in the battle with the Desert Tiger.

When the three of them heard Cagalli's words, if it weren't for the fact that Sebu Ashuma was on the side, and the three of them were not the kind of people with a small temperament, they probably directly sarcastically mocked each other.

But even if there is no sarcasm, the three of them look at the blonde lion cub with playful eyes, which makes Cagalli feel that Yali is big.

"So, you need all sorts of help right now, right? I'm going to help you a lot!"

was first asked by Mu Yi, and then stared at by the three of them, the blonde lion Cagalli immediately stopped talking, and only after a moment of hesitation did she say a more lame reason.

"Even if you can help"

Malu hugged her left hand across her chest, her right hand gently supported her chin, and she looked down at Cagalli in front of her, and when she was about to refuse with a tactful word, Mu who was sitting on the wooden box got up and walked over.

"O Goddess"

Mu walked up to Cagalli, who looked at her face, and whispered.

"Anyway, I'll go with the Archangel, I've decided!"

Cagalli, who was seen by the neutral Mu with goosebumps all over her body, couldn't stand Mu's gaze, and said directly to Maliu, and then turned around to pack her things, and Seb Asima, who had been silent just now, also went over, probably planning to say something to Cagalli.

"Hello? What the hell is that kid?"

Mu, Maliu, and Baki Lulu looked at each other when they saw this scene, and no one said anything, and finally Mu turned his head and asked Kisaka, who was sorting things out on the side.

However, Kisaka, who had been Cagalli's bodyguard, didn't say anything, and after cleaning up the contents of the box in front of him, he picked it up directly, and then walked silently towards the Archangel. Looking at Kisaka, who was like a stuffy gourd, the three of them were also speechless for a while.

Half an hour later, the Archangel completed all the finishing tasks, and then carried Cagalli and Kisaka, who were about to keep up, and the new members of the Archangel began to set off in the direction of the Red Sea! (To be continued......)
