Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dawn of Dissipation

Archangel number.

A communication from the bridge of the advance party was heard.

"The fleet will arrive at the rendezvous point at the scheduled time. After the rendezvous, the Archangel will be temporarily under the command of the ship and will go to the rendezvous site of the Moon Corps. Soon it will be there. Good luck with a safe arrival. Copeman, the captain of the frigate Montgomery, said in a calm tone, which pleased Marloue. It was so reassuring to be reorganized into the organization, she had never known before.

Inadvertently, another person appears on the screen. It was a good-looking middle-aged man, not wearing a military uniform, but a suit, and he reported his name. "I'm the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs of the Atlantic Federation, George Brown. Aluta. First of all, I would like to thank all of you for your dedication to the rescue of civilians. "That's right, Malu remembered. She listened to Sei and the others talk about Frey's father.

However, when George said this, Malu was a little confused.

"Uh, this, I saw my daughter Frey in the crew list? Aluta's name, if you can, can you let me meet her. ”

The crew of the Archangel froze. Does this brother not know that this is a warship? His mood is not difficult to imagine, but it is also inevitable that there is no separation between public and private. I only heard Copman's embarrassed suggestion next to him: "Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, it will be arranged as soon as we meet." "I'm afraid that before this, he had already asked for it with his position.

"That's the kind of person Frey's dad is! A daughter controls it. Sitting in the operator's seat, Sai smiled bitterly.

"Sai, you're working hard too. Thankfully, Miriaria's family isn't, which is great. Hearing Said's words, Thor, who was also sitting in the operator's seat, said happily.

"Indeed, it takes a little bit of hard work." Pushing his glasses, Sai said a little weakly.

In any case, the time of rendezvous is at hand.

Zaft, Team Kreuzer.

Shouldering the search for Lux. The Klein mission's Vesalis caught the advance party before the Archangel.

Kreuzer just stared at the large panel, as if to say to himself, "If the Archangel is going to the moon from Artimis." Do you think it will be done? ”

"Supplies, could it be a ship to meet you?" Addis said with some uncertainty.

"The meeting between Raconi and Poult was delayed than scheduled. If it was a ship carrying supplies to the Archangel, it couldn't be left alone. Kreuzer said, touching his chin.

"Shall we go after it? But we ......," Ardis said, a little embarrassed.

Kreuzer insisted: "We are soldiers. Even if you are tasked with searching for Miss Lux, you can't miss the opportunity to win the enemy for the sake of a young girl. Besides, I don't want to be ridiculed by future historians. Its' also seems to be nearby, so let them meet, there's a nice banquet waiting for us. ”

"Okay." Looking at such a Kreuzer, Attis could only agree, although Attis was the captain of the ship, but. After all, this is the Kreuzer team, and Kreuzer is the leader.

Liu Yi's troops.

"How long will it take to catch up with the Archangel." Liu Yi, who came to the bridge of the Liu Bang, asked the captain calmly.

"The position of the Archangel has been locked, and compared with the speed of both sides, you can catch up with the Archangel in 17 hours." The captain looked at the cosmic map and replied quickly.

"Seventeen hours, then, go get my body ready, something interesting seems to be happening." Liu Yi, who got the answer, said softly: "There is a grand banquet waiting for us on the earth, if the Lord of the Void is absent because of these reasons. I'm also very distressed. ”

This kind of interesting thing, if Zheng Shuanglong is absent, it is estimated that my life will be in danger. It's really distressing. The Lord of the Sky is very cruel. Liu Yi, who was sitting on top of Jean and quickly adjusting his body, thought coldly.

Archangel number.

"The radar caught the shadow of the three ships! It's the frigates Montgomery, Barnard and Lowe! ”

There was a sound of joy on the bridge of the Archangel.

Parr, who was keeping his radar open, panicked; Because the picture is messed up, it may be noise. But after adjustments. The picture just gets messier. "It's ......"

"What's wrong?" Without much thought, Malu glanced in his direction, and saw his face that was starting to turn blue. His expression changed suddenly.

"It's a distraction! This area is being disturbed! Pal's mournful voice was like a basin of cold water, and the bustling bridge suddenly fell silent.

The advance party has already been discovered by the enemy.

The Montgomery, which noticed the enemy ship a little later, also sounded the call of the operator. "The heat source is close! It's MS! Three Jeans, the remaining four are X-series, Aegis, Duel, Tempest, and Thunderbolt. ”

The operator's stunned voice took Captain Copeman's breath away. He commanded in a low voice, "Let the Archangel turn and break away!" We urgently dispatched MA! ”

"Y-What do you say? If we can't meet, what's the point of coming here? Asda Foreign Minister protested from the sidelines.

Copeman yelled back. "Wouldn't it be even more pointless if that ship was also captured?"

At the same time, the Archangel number also confirms this fact. "It's Project G's Aegis, Thunderbolt, Storm, and Duel."

Marius closed her eyes in a moment. The clenched hands trembled. "That means, the Nazca-class?"

"Montgomery call! The assembly was aborted, and the Archangel immediately turned around and broke away! The correspondent shouted.

"But, on that ship!" Sai couldn't help but raise his voice. Frey's father is also up there, how can he see death and not save him.

Marlu looked down in thought, and when she finally made up her mind, she looked up. He said loudly: "Even if we turn around now, there is no guarantee that we will be able to escape." The whole ship is in the first combat position! The Archangel went to cover the advance team! ”

Sirens sounded inside the Archangel's ship. Kira sped out of the room and ran in the direction of the driver's locker room. As she walked past the front of Lux's room, the door clicked open.

"Here we go again! What's the lock in this room? Kira said a little puzzled.

Lux peeked half of her face through the crack in the door, her big eyes looking up at Kira in bewilderment. "What's wrong? Suddenly it became so noisy. ”

"It's up to each to fight in a position. Come on, get in. Pushing Lux back into the room, Kira said quickly.

"Combat position, then, oops, is it going to be a war?" Lux said with some surprise.

"Yes. It's better to say that the fight has already begun. Kira said quickly. Time is very tight for combat preparations.

"Mr. Kira, do you have to fight too?" Staring at Kira with clear eyes, Lux asked softly.

Stared at by Lux's clear light blue eyes, Kira suddenly stammered. "Anyway, please don't leave the room. Don't run out again. Good no good? Trying to finish in a gentle tone, he pushed Lux back into the room and locked the door again.

Holding Harrow, Lux said softly, "Let's sing." Harrow. ”

The beautiful music sounded in this war-torn place, as if to erase the damage caused by the war.

Because of Lux's delay, Kira really had to rush desperately now. But halfway through, someone suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Kira!" It was Frey, and she looked uneasy. "Why are they in a fighting position again? So, what about my dad's boat? ”

Just holding Kira's arm, Frey looked panicked. Very uneasy, he asked, "No, it's going to be fine, right?" My dad's boat won't get hit, will it? Right! ”

Kira didn't know what was going on, but Kira knew she had to go quickly. The battle can be very intense. There is no room for delay. In a hurry, Kira had no choice but to pick what the other party wanted to hear. "It's alright, Frey. We'll strike too. ”

Kira smiled understandingly, pulling away the fingers she was clutching tightly on her arm. Frey's expression was still uneasy. But he could only silently watch Kira rush away.

"Sometimes, you can't talk so much, it's okay. Such words are a very heavy burden. Right, Xiaoya. Zheng Shuanglong, who was holding Athena and saw the conversation between Kira and Frey, said softly.

"Hmm." Gently rubbing in Zheng Shuanglong's arms, Athena replied in a coquettish voice.

"It's almost coming, so it's time for us to get a little prepared." Squinting his eyes and perceiving the position of the roaming two-dimensional in Liu Yi's hand, Zheng Shuanglong happily asked Athena: "Na, Xiaoya, are you interested in watching me bully the rookie, although the equipment and body are not as good as the other party, but the weapon can still be hit, in this case, it is a very pleasant thing to bully and bully the rookie, together." ”

"Well, just be with the dragon." Athena looked at Zheng Shuanglong gently and said with a look of affection.

"I like Xiaoya the most! Let's go, it's time for us to fight, that guy, you should bring me something. Holding Athena, Zheng Shuanglong turned around and prepared to change his driving uniform. On the Archangel, there is a surplus driving suit. After all, the Archangel was originally intended to be a support ship for the five airframes of Project G.

"Lily, where is Ena." Looking at Zheng Shuanglong, who had changed into a handsome pilot's suit in the standby room, Athena asked softly.

"Well, Jean is a one-man cockpit after all, and if there is one more Xiaoya, it won't affect my battle, but if I want to stuff Lily and Ena all of them, I'm also very troubled. And, right now, aren't Lily and Ena still awake, so I'm a little sorry, but I'll have to talk about it next time. Quickly put on a driver's suit for Athena, put the helmet on Athena's head, and looked at Athena, even if she was wearing such ill-fitting clothes, she looked unusually wide, but she was still very cute, Zheng Shuanglong said happily.

My Xiaoya will always be so cute. Zheng Shuanglong, who came to the hangar with Athena in his arms, looked at the fast and busy preparation class, and thought happily.

Kira rushed into the hangar after changing clothes, only to see that the Zero driven by Mu had already been dispatched.

"It's too late! Brat! ”

"I'm sorry!"

Kira screamed in response to Madek's roar and jumped into the cockpit of the Strike Gundam. In the gap between the system starting, Milia explained the situation to him. "The enemy has one Nazca-class and one Loracia-class battleship, three Jeans, and all the airframes of Project G are there! Be careful! ”

Before Mirialia could finish her words, Say's communication suddenly interjected. "Kira, Frey's dad is on the advance ship! Please! ”

Hearing this, Kira felt a heavy pressure and couldn't help but purse her lips. "Got it."

Strike Gundam walks towards the catapult.

Combat area.

"What is the use of such a thing." Yitzhak, who was driving the duel, looked at the MA dispatched on the three frigates of Montgomery, Barnard, and Lowe, and pouted disdainfully. Easily dodge the missile launched by the MA. One by one, they were shot down. The MA, which rushed in a three-plane formation, fired a beam with a rifle, but all of them were destroyed without a single machine left. The athletic performance of the two sides is worlds apart.

"Indeed, in front of Gundam, what is the use of this old antique MA." Using a straight line steel bullet gun and a high-energy sniper rifle to quickly kill two MAs, and by the way, using an ultra-long-range stunner made of a straight steel bullet gun and a high-energy sniper rifle to knock out the Los Angeles, Diaca said disdainfully.

"Is that good, Diaca. Didn't the captain ask us to slow down, if the Archangel hadn't appeared yet, we would have wiped out all these things, and if the Archangel was scared to appear, how would we explain to Captain Kruzer? "Deflect the MA's attack. Nigaul, the driver of the Thunderbolt Gundam, who opened a way for the Aegis Gundam, asked loudly. Although it doesn't make sense for Aslan to open this road or not.

However, the Aegis Gundam took advantage of the situation and flew towards the enemy ship, closing the distance in an instant, and firing three beams of light at its engine department. In order to prevent continuous detonation, the battleship Barnard had to cut off the engine department and thus break away from the battle line.

"Cut!" Hearing Nigaul's words, Yitzhak and Diaca replied disdainfully. However, the movements in his hands have slowed down a lot, after all, the most important thing is to sink the Archangel.

Montgomery Bridge.

"The frigate Lowe sank! The enemy is heading towards Barnard! "Bad news came out of the correspondent's mouth.

"The stolen body of our army was shot down? How could there be such a stupid thing! "In the face of such an unfavorable situation. George shouted a little panicked.

One by one, the MA was shot down by the Thunderbolt Gundam, Storm Gundam, Duel Gundam, and Aegis Gundam, and if it weren't for the Archangel, the advance team of the Eighth Fleet would have been shot down long ago.

Thunderbolt, Duel, Tempest, and Aegis slowed down the attack, but Jean didn't. After a large number of MAs were shot down, Jean approached the Montgomery. The MA tried to stop the enemy aircraft, but they were all destroyed one by one by the storm and the duel. Watch as the enemy planes get closer and closer to the ship they are on. George couldn't believe it. At this moment, a ray of light came from the surface and hit Jean directly.

Directly in front of the bridge, Jean turned into a ball of fire. In the direction of the ray's launch, the white shadow of the Archangel appeared.

"Archangel ......?"

"Is it coming?"

George shouted for help, but Captain Copeman, who was on the side, was stunned and clenched his fists. He punched him in the seat. "What the hell!" Didn't you tell the Archangel to flee quickly, what does this kind of mortal war mean, if the Archangel is sunk, then, is there still any point in the sacrifice of yourself and others.

"It's out, it's the same as Captain Kreuzer said." Seeing the appearance of the archangel, he quickly clicked off a MA in front of him, Yitzhak said happily. After speaking, he drove the duel and rushed towards the Archangel. Compared to the Montgomery, the Archangel is more attractive to Yitzhak, especially when there is a strong attack by the Archangel's side, this attraction is even greater. The storm, the thunderbolt, rushed towards the Archangel with the same speed.

Using the ultra-long-range blockade, a light-speed storm Gundam was generated against the Archangel, and he said happily: "If you come, you don't have to leave, just stay." ”

Mu attacked relatively quickly, and after the Zero he was piloting, he was caught by the Storm Gundam after severely damaging a Jean. was almost knocked down, two of the four wire-controlled gun barrels were knocked out, the gap between MA and MS is still very large, and being able to entangle the storm is already Mu Chao's level of play.

"Tsk!" Mu gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "The body is too strong." "The wire-controlled cannon bombardment of Storm Gundam has no effect at all, and if it hits Jean's body, it will already blow the opponent up. As for the Storm Gundam, as long as it hits the Zero type, the zero type will definitely explode.

In this way, his own attack has no effect at all, and if he is knocked down, he will definitely explode, even if Mu's driving level is one line higher than Diaca, it is very troublesome. Entangled in Storm Gundam is the best Mu can do.

"I took you." Itsak, who quickly shoots at the Strike Gundam at the speed of light, throws away the beam rifle, draws the speed of light, and slashes at the Strike Gundam.

"How could you die here?" Use a shield to block Kira in the duel Lightspeed Sword. He also drew his beam sword and slashed at Yitzhak with a shout.

The current Kira's combat ability is similar to that of Yitzhak, that is to say, Kira can entangle Itsark's duel Gundam at most, and as for the remaining two Gundams, Aegis Gundam and Thunderbolt Gundam, there is no way to do it, maybe if one more Gundam blocks Kira. If Aslan's Aegis Gundam and Nigol's Thunderbolt Gundam and Itsark's Duel Gundam had attacked Kira, Kira would have escaped.

When Kira and Mu were entangled, when Thunderbolt Gundam began to attack the Archangel.

The Aegis Gundam piloted by Aslan has changed to an MA form, with the hook on the front side spreading. The muzzle in the center of the hook is a 580mm multi-phase energy cannon Kraken Demon Beast. The muzzle of the gun emitted a blinding glow of energy, silently piercing Barnard's hull. Barnard was sunk. Only the battleship Montgomery was left in the advance team.

Archangel number.

"Gottfried One aims! Launch! ”

On the Archangel's ship, orders and rewards intersect. The ever-changing battle situation is constantly reflected on the screen. The door opened quietly, but everyone was too busy to pay attention.

"Whisalis launches a missile! Attack Barnard! "Damn!"

At this time, Frey walked onto the bridge. She wanted to know at least a little bit about the situation. That's why I came here, but when I saw the battle projected on the big screen, I was stunned on the spot.

Kaz, who had noticed her first, screamed. "Frey!?"

Frey screamed and threw herself forward, her voice shaking. "My dad. Which is my dad's ship? ”

"Now it's fighting! Non-combatants leave the bridge! Malu shouted.

Say immediately jumped out of the CIC. He tried to take Frey away, but Frey struggled in his arms. "Let go of me! Where's my dad's boat? What the hell is going on? ”

On the big screen, Barnard is bombarded by the Aegis Gundam's duplicate phase energy cannon, exploding.

Frey who witnessed this scene. His face turned pale.

At this time, the message came in, and the figure of Captain Copeman appeared on the screen. "Archangel! That's an order! Get out of this realm now! "But ......!" Malu was about to object, but was interrupted by a shrill cry behind her. "Daddy!"

Behind Copeman appeared the figure of Deputy Foreign Minister George. See the vivid image of my father. Frey's eyes immediately filled with tears. However, George didn't notice his daughter's image, and only cared about yelling nervously at Copeman. "Bastard! At this time, the Archangel number is still called to retreat, so what should we do? ”

"Someone! Bring the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs on the escape boat! In short, you need to get out of here as soon as possible! You know? Copeman gave another order to Maliu, and cut off the communication.

"Daddy! Father! ”

"Frey! Come, let's go! You can't be here! ”

Half-dragging and half-pulling Frey, who was still screaming, Say stepped out of the bridge.

Say gently hugged Frey's huddled body in the aisle, and her breathless voice rang in her ears. "What about him?"

"Huh?" Say asked rhetorically.

Frey raised her head suddenly, looked at him with wide eyes and exclaimed. "Where's Kira? What's he doing? ”

"He's fighting hard! However, the other side has 4 Gundams! ”

"But he told me, 'It's going to be fine!'" Frey's voice was already hysterical. "He also said, 'We're going too, so it's going to be fine!'"

Sei comforted her and tried his best to get her back to her quarters. He kept saying, "Don't worry." What else can he say in this case? Although knowing that it is only comfort.

From the other end of the aisle came a thin singing voice. The beautiful and smooth timbre and soft melody unfortunately reached the ears of the two at this moment.

It was Lux, who was alone and singing again.

Hearing this, Frey suddenly shook off Say's hand and ran out.

"Frey?"

For no apparent reason, the door was rudely opened, and Lux stopped singing and turned her head in surprise.

Frey, with an expression distorted by hatred, looked at her without blinking.

The USS Barnard exploded. Only the Montgomery remained. MA has long been sunk.

The Archangel number is cornered.

Jean raised the cannon and fired. The shells crushed Montgomery's main guns. Montgomery could not fight.

At this moment, the bridge door of the Archangel opened again. This time, Kaz, who turned his head first, was stunned by the incomprehensible sight in front of him. The occupants who noticed this reaction also turned their heads.

Frey dragged Lux in; Her face was pale, and only her eyes flashed with a sickly fierce light. "We're going to kill her!" Frey shouted.

Everyone on the bridge froze.

"If you dare to attack my father's boat, I'll kill her! Go talk to 'those guys'! Frey screamed.

Sai, who was chasing after him, stood speechless for a while.

"Hurry up!" Frey cries like a beast.

However, it was already too late.

On the big screen, the Aegis Gundam's duplicate phase energy cannon has fired. Two crimson speeds of light pierced through the universe. Rushing towards Montgomery, the battleship was pierced, and in an instant, a terrible explosion occurred.

The original light of hope is gone. (To be continued......)
