Chapter 174: Falling to Earth
The float cannon is a nimble fish that roams the cosmos, but instead of a petite and adorable flounder, this fish is a dangerous and deadly great white shark, spitting pink beam fangs and tearing through all the prey they target.
"That's a lot, it's a fortress......"
"Didi......"
Yang Hui, who was originally at ease, suddenly heard the alarm sound from the body, and his relaxed and casual face became solemn, because the energy had bottomed out.
"Fleet! Hurry up! ”
Nearly an hour had passed since the battle began, and the three Gundams of the [Celestial] Brigade were alone in the central defense line, and on the surface, only the Flag Gundam was the most intense, and the Daybreak Gundam and Luna Gundam were just sitting firmly in the back of the Diaoyutai and shooting to clean up Graham's slippery net.
But in reality, the cost of Daybreak Gundam and Gundam Luna is much greater than that of Banner Gundam, and Daybreak Gundam in the center is the most prominent, because he not only has to destroy as many enemy planes as possible that tear through the formation, but also takes care of the Flag Gundam's ass so that it will not be stabbed in the back during the charge.
After fighting until now, the energy of the Daybreak Gundam has finally turned red, and if the current level of high-intensity and high-efficiency combat is maintained, there will be ten minutes at most, and the energy of the Daybreak Gundam will be exhausted and it will become a cosmic float.
"That's it!"
With Fleet's answer, there was a violent explosion in the rear of the Downs Fortress, not only did the light of the engine running dim, but the huge impact caused the entire Downs Fortress to tilt.
"That's it! We are ready to ...... What!? ”
The three of them were about to evacuate, but they saw that the Downs Fortress, which had been completely exposed to the rays of the [Photon Ring Array], actually began to adjust its direction again, and the [Giant's Shield] system was restarted, and the direction was really the shooting direction of the [Photon Ring Array], which was completely impossible for the Downs Fortress, which had lost power.
The three planes found something and came to the side of the Downs fortress and saw a scene that shocked them.
"They actually used MS to push the mobile fortress!" FLEET AND YULIN WERE HORRIFIED, ESPECIALLY FLEET, IN HIS MIND, VEGAN'S NOTION OF BEING A DEMON HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETELY REVERSED, AND THE SIGHT OF VEGAN'S MS SACRIFICING HIMSELF TO PROTECT THE DOWNS FORTRESS REGARDLESS OF THE LOAD OF THE BODY DEEPLY AFFECTED HIS STUBBORNNESS.
Although Yang Hui had expected this scene for a long time, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
In my memory, I am afraid that the only thing that can be compared to this scene is the world-famous painting of "Just a stone, watch me push it back with Gundam", right? Even two scammers ...... Ahem, the scene of the unicorn blocking the flashlight is much inferior.
"Fleet, what should I do?" Although admiring, Yang Hui frowned deeply, the energy remnants of Daybreak Gundam and Luna Gundam were no longer enough to destroy all the enemy planes that pushed the Downs Fortress in a limited time, and the armament of Gundam AGE-1 could not reach such a high efficiency.
"Damn it!" Fleet also felt helpless at this time, and he couldn't find a good way to face such a situation.
The situation is about to enter a stalemate, is it really necessary to gamble? Bet on whether the Giant's Shield of the Fortress was broken through by the Photon Torrent first, or if the Photon Torrent was consumed before it broke through the [Giant's Shield].
At this moment, the Luna Gundam suddenly flew towards the front of the Downs Fortress, and the floating cannons docked one after another on the long-range beam guns, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed directly at the generator of the [Giant's Shield] system.
With the tacit understanding between Yang Hui and Yu Lin, she understood what she planned to do in an instant, and all the floating cannons of Daybreak Gundam were deployed, transforming into the most loyal knight to guard the princess's side.
VEGAN also noticed Gundam Luna's movements, recalling the scene in the Second Moon War, when Gundam Luna fired a photon destruction cannon with a single machine, and in an instant, they rushed towards Daybreak Gundam and Gundam Luna.
"Fleet! Only one chance! ”
As soon as the words fell, Daybreak Gundam threw the two physical swords at his waist to Gundam AGE-1, and the beam submachine gun and floating cannon fired at all costs, holding a fireworks feast.
"I see!"
Gundam AGE-1 takes over the physical sword and transforms into a nimble ranger that shuttles back and forth through the swarm of enemy planes, destroying any enemy planes that Daybreak Gundam misses.
That's right, there is only one chance, and the energy of the Luna Gundam can only be used to fire the Photon Destruction Cannon once, and after firing, the energy of the Luna Gundam will be depleted, and all the ability to resist will be lost.
Yang Hui and Fleet not only have to protect Yulin from the enemy to interfere with her, but also have to evacuate her safely after destroying the [Giant's Shield] generating device.
“90%…… 95%…… 98%…… 99%…… 100%! Photon Destruction Cannon, Fire! ”
The bright pink color pierced the universe like Optimus Prime, and the "arm" that supported the [Giant's Shield] was scorched and melted under the light of light, and finally completely exploded.
"It's now! Evacuate! ”
After the bombardment is over and the objective is completed, Gundam AGE-1 immediately drops the enemy planes around him and comes to the incapacitated Gundam Luna, and takes Gundam Dawn with her.
"Don't try to escape!"
The pursuers in the rear, led by Daz Roden, pursued them relentlessly, with an attitude of not giving up until they were killed, but the power of the two Gundams at full force was beyond the reach of VEGAN ordinary MS, and they could only watch as they left in the rain of pursuing beams.
……
"Chief of Staff! The intervention bunkers of the enemy fortress are gone! ”
"The commander succeeded! Now is the time! Photon Destruction Cannon, Point to Fire! ”
The torrent of photons reappeared, running through the entire battlefield, although the VEGAN troops who had learned their lesson did not lose, but at this time, the Downs fortress was a royal palace without any city walls, and under the monstrous torrent, it could only melt and explode little by little.
Seeing that the Downs Fortress was about to be completely destroyed, a bright red meteor burst out and went straight to the [Photon Ring Array], and one after another yellow beam balls accurately hit several electromagnetic acceleration devices.
"Don't think!"
"That's it!"
The people of Arugureas and the Singer, as well as Yang Hui, who was returning home, were all stunned, and lost the ability to think at that moment, no one could have imagined that [Jetra], who had been entangled by Gundam AGE-2 from the beginning of the battle, would actually break through the defense line at this time, ruining all their efforts.
Seeing [Jetra] appear, everyone couldn't help but think about where the Gundam AGE-2 was entangled in it, and when they were worried about whether the Gundam AGE-2 was destroyed, the blue-and-white fighter plane followed closely with a bright tail flame.
"Damn! Jerhat! ”
"It's useless, Arthurm! My goal has been achieved! The Federation has lost its killer weapon, and it is already our ...... victory."
While fending off the onslaught of Gundam AGE-2, Jehart began to declare victory, but the last word was stuck in his throat and could not be spoken, and even the Gundam AGE-2, which was chasing after him, stopped moving in the fierce battle, as if time in this universe had stood still.
But the focal point of the Downs Fortress tells everyone that time doesn't stand still, because it's still moving, it's just ......
"Deputy Commander! The system is completely disconnected, and the repair can't be done! ”
"Twenty minutes at most, and the fortress will fall to the ground!"
"What!? Send someone to fix the propulsion system! ”
"The emergency squad has arrived, and the propulsion system is completely damaged beyond repair!"
"How...... How can this be......"
Medel Sant had despair on his face, he longed to return to Earth, eager to assist Iselkanda in fulfilling his long-cherished wish to lead all his compatriots to Eden, but ...... Definitely not in this way.
The Downs Fortress is no less than an asteroid, and if it falls directly to Earth, it will bring irreparable serious damage to Earth, and the destroyed Eden ...... Or is it the Eden of their dreams?
"Deputy Commander!"
Coming back to his senses at the call of the crowd, Medel Sant saw the eyes of the crowd, felt their panic, and remembered his responsibility as a commander: "Will the self-destruct procedure of the Downs Fortress still work?" ”
"Deputy Commander!"
"I asked, is it still working!?" Seeing that the person hesitated, Medel Sant raised his voice.
"No...... No, the whole system is paralyzed, and the energy system is being urgently repaired, which is expected to take 15 minutes......"
"We don't have fifteen minutes left!" With a loud shout, Medel Sant's old brain was running rapidly, looking for a way to break the game, and finally, he thought of a solution.
"How many more colonial satellite destroyers are there in the fortress?" Medelsant asked.
"Also...... There are 50 more ......" The voices of the people who answered Medel Sant trembled a little, and I don't know if they guessed something, or if it was ......
"I see, everyone...... Disengage, notify friendly units to prepare for rescue......"
"Deputy Commander...... Be! ”
The people of the bridge, and all the people who were still alive in the Downs Fortress, shook their fists and pounded their chests in the direction where Medel Sant was, knowing that this venerable old man intended to sacrifice himself to save them, to save Eden.
It was at this time that Jehart's communications spread throughout the army.
"The whole army is out of battle, I will detonate the energy core of the Downs fortress, and the whole army will be mixed in the fragments of the fortress and land on the earth, lurking until I receive a new order!"
"Commander Jehart!"
"Lord Jehart!"
When Medel Sant heard this order, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he was very worried, mixed with ...... Doubts about Jehart, or rather the entire battle order.
"Don't you say!" Medel Sant guessed something, but didn't say it, silently following the others to the location of the survival pod.
"Lord Iselkanda, is that what you're for? And ...... Jarhat."
……
Whether it was Fleet, who returned to the Singer, or Yang Hui and Yulin, who returned to [Bai Ze], they all felt a sense of urgency when they heard that the movement of the Downs Fortress was about to fall to Earth.
"Director of Maintenance, how long does it take for Daybreak Gundam to resupply energy?" Yang Hui asked.
"It takes ...... after repair"
"How much time does it take to just replenish energy?"
“…… 3 minutes! ”
"Good! Drop all your work and recharge the Daybreak Gundam, I'm going to strike! ”
"But the captain ......"
"Execute the order!"
"Yes!"
Everyone began to work nervously, and Yu Lin was very worried about Yang Hui and came to his side.
"Yang Hui ......"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, but you've got the Earth to come to me." Yang Hui gently hugged Yu Lin and comforted.
"Well, I'm sure I'll go find you."
Three minutes is a short time, but for the two of them, it is calmer and warmer than everyone else in the world.
