The fleet struck. Farrar himself took charge, and three pre-Mtsai cruisers set off from the only illuminated port of Axis and sailed in the direction where the battle would take place.

This is the age of mobile suits. In order to enhance his combat power, Farrar naturally brought enough mobile suits. One Msai carries three Zagus. Three Musses are nine, which is naturally an extremely formidable force around Kirkwood's gap.

In fact, when Jean first sent troops to this side, he actually wanted to block the Kirkwood gap and block the Earth's mining group from going to Jupiter, so as to dominate it. It was only later that this practice was temporarily abandoned due to the signing of the Antarctic Treaty with the Earth Federation.

True, Jean's abandonment was only temporary. When the fleet was sent here, it was when Jean's troops were strong, and how could Kilian, who thought he would be able to live in Earth and create an era, thought that he would fail?

At that time, he thought that Farrar and Martin were just pioneers for themselves.

"Maybe by the time they arrived at Axis, we had already won the battle!" said Jean at that time.

But these self-confidences are now a thing of the past. Today, Farlar and Martin are no longer the vanguard of the so-called Jean's expansion, but the temple army that guards Jean's final resting place.

In the flickering lights above the battleship, Farrar led Msey in the predetermined direction.

Soon, they disappeared from Axis' reach. As they left, the surroundings of Axis returned to their original calm.

However, this calm did not last long.

About an hour later, another communication came. This communication still came from the Zanzibar-class mobile cruiser of the 320 squadron.

"We managed to get to the vicinity of Axis, but we were still being pursued by the Federation Army, asking for artillery cover!"

The non-commissioned officer in the radar room reported the news to Martin.

"How so? Didn't Farrar find them?" Martin thought strangely, "Farrar isn't such an incompetent person." ”

In the same Axis, Farrar and Martin's relationship is not too good, but it is not too bad. The two huddled together to keep warm after Jean's defeat, and so far they can only be regarded as mere nodding friends.

In Martin Houston's opinion, Farraar Baez is not the kind of talented commander, but he is also a decent general, whether it is the use of MS or the command of the fleet, he has good abilities. At the moment, he led three light patrols with nine Zagu to deal with the two Salamis-class, which should be as simple as drinking water and eating.

After all, the Salamis class that can sail here is definitely not the kind of late-stage type that can release MS - it is simply impossible to prepare the MS with the small body of the Salamis class, although the late Federation has the ejection ability of the MS by tethering, but that kind of use is like a small boat carrying a cannon, and it can't go far.

It's easy to say that it can be used on the battlefield of the Earth-Moon system, but here, with so many MSs tied up, the Salamis level is not afraid of damaging flowers and plants?

It's impossible to think about. The asteroid zone is densely populated with stars, and various forces are intertwined, forming disturbed tides. The stars here are adapted to such tides, but for first-time visitors, it is quite a scary place.

In the orbit of the stars, you can't guarantee that you won't bump into something strange, like rocks, like ice......

So when sailing in a place like this, of course, the fewer things you have to plug in, the better.

Martin is well aware of this.

It's just, like this......

"What the hell is wrong with Faral?" said Martin, a little helpless. But he knew what he was supposed to do at this time.

Axis was not a fortress, and he did not have anything inside the forts. It's just that considering the needs of the other party, he finally ordered: "Let the remaining MS troops of Farrar go to the third port area to stand guard." I can't let my own people be harmed by the guys of the Federation in front of their eyes. ”

So, at the newly built third port area, with the laser indicator light lit up, ten Zagu flew out of the port passage and scattered around the port area, ready to meet the friendly side.

Soon, they saw the comer.

A bloated cruiser approached Axis as if drunk.

Its image zoomed in before the eyes of the MS pilots and Martin, allowing them to quickly identify its ship: "That's right, it's indeed a Zanzibar-class mobile cruiser." Its unique shape was unlike any warship of our time. It looks more like a shuttle from an old time. Of course, it's much larger than the shuttle, and it's a little more rounded. ”

"It's indeed our Jean's battleship...... Look at his look...... It's mighty. Perhaps because they finally saw their own people, Jean's pilots seemed a little happy. Judging by the information coming from the public channels, it seems that they did not take the enemy on the opposite side to heart.

This is also understandable. After seeing this battleship that belonged to their own people, Martin and the others also saw the point of light chasing behind the battleship.

Judging from its enlarged image, the other party is indeed only a Salamis-class, and it is the kind that does not carry MS.

And how fragile this kind of mech, with weak armor, not strong firepower, and no MS operation ability, is in front of Zagu, which can be seen from the Federation's performance in the week battle.

"It's all about delivering food to us!" thought the pilots of Axis.

It seems that the opposite side is also aware of this, and they did not advance further, but also did not retreat, only stopped about 7 kilometers from Axis. This was far beyond the range of the MS, and apparently Zagu with a 120 machine gun was also seen on the opposite side.

They were completely relieved. Many people have the idea of revenge for their compatriots.

Because they saw how miserable this Zanzibar-class mobile cruiser approached the port area.

"It's not easy to sail here. Seeing the cruiser parked at the berth in the port area, Martin couldn't help but sigh.

This is not only Martin, but also everyone's sigh about it.

After all, this Zanzibar has more than a dozen very obvious damage from the outside.

The white cushioning material peeked out of the cracks in the shell like the belly of an animal, turning the entire battleship into black and white. In addition to this obvious exposure, small cracks were all over the body, and it seemed that even if you counted the hands, feet and fingers of a hundred soldiers, it was completely impossible to calculate.

"Oh my God! It's pathetic! But it's good that you're here. The soldiers of Axis took pity on them and rejoiced in their luck.

It's a blessing to be here.

After the Zanzibar-class cruiser was steady, the door opened. It's just that it's a little puzzling that it's the Gnaku's cargo compartment that is open now, not the hatch on the battleship that is specially designed for people to walk on.

"Is there any important cargo?" Martin thought strangely, not having any doubts in his heart.

In fact, there is nothing to doubt either. After the hatch opened, a huge body stepped out. Martin looked up and didn't see anything strange.

It was a big guy who was close to 18 meters tall, and he looked a little similar to Zagu, but it gave him a thicker feeling - and it was true, his chest and waist were indeed thicker than Zagu.

The MS-14F Commander's Warrior, the latest mass-produced cutting-edge MS in the late Jean Army, is generally rationed to front-line elites and squad leaders. But that's just a saying. In fact, due to the lack of resources in the later stage, there were not many warriors that could be produced, and even in an important battle as Abba Wakku's fortress, Kilian Zabi was able to mobilize only 300 warriors.

It can be said that all those who can drive the Warriors are considered well-known in the Jean Army.

"There is such an advanced MS in such a battleship...... "everyone sighed.

And Martin saw that after this gray-green MS came out, he quickly put on a vigilant appearance, and at the same time made a gesture of please, and his heart was even more settled. He was sure that the Zanzibar-class cruiser was on an important mission - perhaps with some important guest.

Zabi, the people associated with Zabi's family, and even the entire Jean fancy the so-called pomp and ceremony. They don't have a lot of background, and they seem to want to whitewash themselves with this high profile.

In the final analysis, this is also a kind of lack of self-confidence. But Jean's people don't think so.

They enjoyed the benefits of class, and called it a civilized and noble embodiment.

Seeing such a score on the cruiser, Martin was shocked and quickly lowered his head. He knew what he should do in front of those noble people, the commander of the garrison in such a remote area.

The sound of footsteps sounded softly in his ears. Someone stepped down from the cruiser and stopped beside him with a faint scent of incense.

"You're Major Martin Houston of Axis Fortress. The voice sounded, but it was a pleasant-sounding female voice: "Raise your head!"

"Yes!" Martin looked up in respectful response, and then he saw a red-haired female officer Jean appear in front of him. Martin noticed the rank on her shoulder, which was a rank below himself. Just looking at the way she spoke, it didn't seem to be as simple as a captain.

That's right!

Martin snapped.

The epaulettes on this woman's body were carved with a pattern that was somewhat different from her own.

Could it be...... Martin was a little stunned, and the respect on his face became more and more distinct.

In fact, the other party's self-introduction also confirmed his guess.

"I'm Elena Hasson, a special lieutenant under the Commander-in-Chief, in charge of the preliminary preparations for Jean's remnants. We're here as an advance party, but we don't want to ......," the red-haired woman said leisurely, her soft words vaguely tinged with a hint of grief: "The Federation's raiding fleet is also here. We found them during our voyage and the results ......"

She sighed, and the meaning was clear to everyone.

"It's unfortunate. But it's good for you to get here!" Martin said comfortingly, "If it were just the two Salamis-class ships outside, we could easily destroy them." Because it was comforting, Martin tried his best to show that his side was strong.

But such comfort was of no use to Yelena at all. She smiled wryly, "Do you think the Federation's crusaders have a little bit of strength, if that's the case, we can destroy them ourselves." ”

"That ......" Hearing this, Martin couldn't help but change his face.

"Actually...... The Federation Raid we encountered was an entire fleet, a Trojan, two Magellan, six Salamis, four Columbus......" Elena whispered to Martin about the Federation Raid Fleet.

"What?" Martin was genuinely shocked. With such a powerful combat power, this is not something that Axis can withstand.

Perhaps Axis, who had integrated the remnants of Jean, had the strength to resist the crusade, but that was later...... Isn't it true that the remnants of Jean haven't come yet? Axis was at his weakest.

"Hey...... So what are we going to do?" Martin panicked. He is not a person who is good at dealing with emergencies, and at the moment, he instinctively asked this question.

"I think ......," said Elena, leaning slightly closer to Martin.

"Huh?" Martin straightened up a little uncomfortably, wondering if Yelena was getting too close.

But why is it that her words are still so unreal?

Martin was puzzled.

Just when the doubts in his heart came to the fore, Yelena flashed behind Martin's back with a dazzling speed, holding a short sword that had been drawn out of nowhere, and resting it on Martin's neck.

"I think you'd better surrender, Commander of the Martin Houston Garrison!" her words suddenly became clear as the sword rested on Martin's neck.

"What? you ......," Martin was stunned.

The change happened suddenly, everyone was stunned, and the soldiers watched all this in horror, a little overwhelmed. But such a overwhelm dissolves in an instant. There was a shrill shouting of these things, and the guards drew their pistols according to their instincts, accusing Yelena.

Instead of being afraid, Elena giggled. At this time, the motor turned, and the guards raised their heads in surprise again, only to find that the beam rifle of the MS-14F Commander Warrior had been aimed at them.

This time, they didn't dare to act rashly.

The deterrent power of MS is still quite amazing.

After that, two more MSs came out of the Gnacurry. This time it was Zagu who appeared.

Looking at their emerald green and bright purple livery, one of the guards exclaimed, "Marines Zagu!

"Defector?" Martin was slightly stunned, and then showed a wry smile: "It turns out that you are from the Federation at all." ”

He was completely defeated and resigned to his fate.

He knew that what the woman named Yelena said was not entirely a lie. At least for the time being, the Federation has really organized a crusade against Axis.
