Chapter 324: The Awakened Lion
"Inform the ZAFT forces in the territorial waters that you are in the territorial waters of the United Emirate of Orb, and telegraph your troops to withdraw from our territorial waters immediately, otherwise we will expel you by force depending on your provocative behavior, and repeat, immediately withdraw from our territorial waters......"
"Damn! It's too late! ”
Immediate withdrawal from territorial waters? Are you kidding!?
Where they are now, it will take about ten minutes to withdraw from Orb's territorial waters, and Orb's convoy is so grandly guarding their target in the center, isn't it obvious that it wants to slap them in the face?
"Aslan!"
“…… Prepare for battle...... "Aslan hesitated for a moment, took into account all the possibilities, and immediately made a judgment.
"What?"
"Huh? I'm impressed with you, Aslan, you have such a bold time. ”
Yitzhak and Diego agreed with Aslan's decision, they had long seen that Orb was unhappy, especially when they were discovered by the other party soon after infiltrating and secretly expelled, which was like a handout, which deeply stung their pride.
"But it's going to spark international strife......," Nigaul worried.
"Prepare to fight, they won't let us go!" Aslan also did not want to have a fight with Orb.
Aslan is indeed simple, but definitely not stupid!
The expansion of territorial waters, which is open to the public in the form of a press conference, is definitely not a trivial matter, and it stands to reason that a lot of preparation should be carried out, at least ...... PLANTS WILL ALSO BE GENERATED IN ADVANCE, OTHERWISE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE LOCATED RIGHT WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE NEW TERRITORIAL WATERS.
Timing, Location, Target...... What a coincidence!
In the end, Aslan could only come up with one answer - the sleeping lion had woken up, and had opened its fangs and teeth at them, and wanted to use them to announce the awakening of the Beastmaster.
……
"The ZAFT army has moved."
It is indeed difficult for the submarine force to be detected, but knowing that the ZAFT force surrounding Orb is a submarine force, will Yang Hui not be prepared at all? The means of sonar detection have long been prepared, and the positions of all ZAFT armies have long been locked.
"[The stage battle] has begun, dispersed."
"Understood." X3
The Angel of Ability, the Angel of Wisdom, and the Angel of Virtue broke away from the formation and rushed in the other three directions, and the Daybreak Gundam spread its wings and stood on the deck of the Archangel, clasping its hands as if the gods of heaven were contemptuous of the creatures on the earth.
The Archangel has been trying to connect to the Daybreak Gundam's communication, but Yang Hui has not accepted, and now it is not as simple as escorting the Archangel from Orb.
[Stage Battle], let Orb board the world stage, take advantage of the opportunity for the Archangel to set sail, and the ZAFT army to arrange the fleet to block it, create an excuse to launch an attack on the ZAFT army, and announce to the world that Orb is no longer a soft persimmon that others can bully casually!
Orb is very small, and it is definitely not as good as the Earth Union and PLANT, but it is not at the mercy of others, and whoever wants to bully Orb must be prepared to be bitten off a piece of meat!
At a distance visible to the naked eye, the blue sea was polluted by patches of shadows, a total of three Vosgulo-class submarine aircraft carriers surfaced, the MS catapult deck was opened, [Dean] and [Gunn] all attacked, and at the same time, there were Duel, Storm, Thunderbolt and Aegis four planes stepping on the aircraft and mixing in the [Dean] formation in the sky.
The battle began, and the non-stop communication was finally connected, and without waiting for Malu to ask what was going on, Yang Hui directly instructed the Archangel: "The Archangel is moving towards Alaska, we will open the way for you, and don't get involved in other things." ”
"But ......"
"Di~"
The communication was hung up directly, Malu and the others were still confused, they didn't know what was going on, but one thing was clear to them, that is, Orb's fleet was by no means as simple as escorting them out of Orb.
"Hey, hey, hey! What's going on? When are we going to strike? Mu asked the bridge.
The Strike Gundam and the two Airlords were ready to attack, and they had long been mentally prepared for a hard battle when they left Obu, but they waited nervously until now, and they didn't wait for the order to attack.
"It should ...... No more sorties. Malu said helplessly.
"What do you mean?"
Maru shook her head with a wry smile, recounted everything that had just happened, and then connected the real-time footage of what happened outside to the screen of the three machines.
"This ...... Haha, it's really a big gift, and people don't know how to pay it back. Seeing this, Mu directly took off his helmet and covered his face with a wry smile.
"Orb ...... Joined the war? "Both Thor and Kira, who served as Air-King II pilots, were in disbelief, but the bloody facts were in front of them.
Outside of the Archangel, [Gunn] attacked as the vanguard, and all the torpedoes locked onto Orb's battleship, and just as it was about to be launched, the sirens were bright red and the dripping sound was non-stop.
"How...... Yes~! ”
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
Before the torpedo was fired, Orb's battleship launched the attack, and countless anti-submarine missiles fell from the sky, like fish in the water, hitting all targets with precision.
The target of the missile is not only the [Gunn] in the water, but also the [Dean] troops in the air, but compared to the [Gunn] who was stunned in the water, the [Dean] formation saw that the missile was launched, so it immediately launched a counterattack, and the air scattered bombs and several shots were fired continuously, and the incoming missiles fell one by one, and only one or two [Dean] missiles were shot down.
"Abominable Orb! Attacking without saying a word......"
"Kill them!"
Yitzhak and Diego were completely furious, and were about to rush out of [Dean's] formation, crushing the Orb fleet to ashes, but Aslan stopped them in time.
"Don't rush too far ahead!"
"Get out of the way! Aslan! ”
"Don't make a mistake about our opponents...... Disperse! ”
The pink beam came continuously, but fortunately, the three machines reacted quickly, otherwise they would have been hit.
However, after they dispersed, the shooting of the Daybreak Gundam did not stop, and the two beam submachine guns fired one after another, and the dense beam raindrops fell into the [Dean] formation, and four or five brilliant fireworks exploded in an instant.
The Daybreak Gundam spreads its wings, the flames shine, and it leaps into meteors in the sky, bringing divine judgment once again with its golden light.
"Go ahead, bit."
"Be careful! That's coming! ”
Seeing the familiar golden light, emotions called fear welled up in my heart, and Duel, Tempest, Thunder, and Holy Shield, as well as all of Dean's [Dean] quickly retreated and dispersed, opening up the distance between them and Daybreak Gundam.
But is it just Dean who is qualified to compete with Daybreak Gundam? It's also equipped with a nuclear engine and is full of firepower.
Gracefully shuttling through the intertwined network of firepower, the golden ends of light scattered in all directions, just passing by, several [Dean] turned into sieves, and then exploded.
"Damn! Yes~!!! ”
Fear reached its peak, and when it erupted, it brought endless courage, and the Duel Gundam emptied all of its ammo in an instant, drew its sword and charged towards the dawn.
The pink beam sword slashed against the golden wall of the bit, and the collision of energy brought real aftermath.
The Daybreak Gundam was unmoved, but just tilted its head slightly to look at the Duel Gundam, and its wings flew away, swinging the Duel Gundam away, and the pink tip of the sword was about to pierce into the Duel Gundam's armor.
"Yitzhak!"
At this moment, the Thunderbolt Gundam rushed out from the side and pushed the Duel Gundam away, allowing the sharp tip of the sword to pierce his right shoulder.
With a twist of the wrist and an upward swing, the right arm of Thunderbolt Gundam is not the same.
"Nigaul!"
When the cover of the Storm Gundam arrived, the Daybreak Gundam immediately protected its wings in front of it, and the light of the bit resisted the frantic fire suppression, and the golden ball of light continued to explode, and the huge impact carried the Daybreak Gundam back.
The Holy Shield Gundam took the opportunity to come to the side of the Thunderbolt Gundam and escorted it backwards, and the Duel Gundam on the other side also came to its senses and retreated.
"Retreat!"
Aslan ......
"We don't have a chance to win! Fall back! ”
Thinking that with the experience of near-death and survival, Aslan is confident that he will not be killed by Daybreak Gundam again, and if Sara's team's four machines maintain a good formation and perform firepower suppression on Daybreak Gundam, they will have a chance to defeat it.
But reality shattered his plan, and Yitzhak's recklessness not only ruined the formation and lost the opportunity, but also caused Thunderbolt Gundam to lose one of its arms, and only the most important one.
Most of the Thunderbolt Gundam's armament is on the right arm, and without the right arm, the [Wolf Lock] claw-shaped anchor on the left arm alone cannot limit the Daybreak Gundam.
For now, there is only a retreat, and as long as they withdraw from Orb's territorial waters, they will be safe.
"Damn! I'm going to get rid of it today! ”
Yitzhak refuses to give up, and the Thunderbolt Gundam uses his remaining arm to hold the Duel Gundam.
"Let go of me! Nigaul! I'm going to ......"
"Be careful! It's coming! ”
While the three of them were entangled and retreated, the suppression of Storm Gundam's firepower weakened, and Daybreak Gundam relaunched its charge, rushing towards the three planes like meteors.
"Aslan! Yitzhak! Diego! Withdraw! I'm going to hold it back! ”
"Nigaul ......"
Ignoring Aslan's obstruction, the Thunderbolt Gundam has already launched a reverse charge, firing a claw-shaped anchor, and as soon as it gets close to the Daybreak Gundam, it is cut in two.
But Thunderbolt Gundam did not give up, and the gentle Nigaul burst out with unparalleled courage and determination, ignoring Bit's attack on Thunderbolt Gundam, and through the cover of his vision, he came to the front of Daybreak Gundam in a dense explosion, and grabbed Daybreak Gundam's head with his only remaining hand, and the fire behind him burst into flames, and he fell to the bottom of the sea with Daybreak Gundam.
Three, two, one, boom~!
There was an explosion in the water.
"Nigaul!"
"Open...... Joke, right? ”
"Yes...... Damn!!!! ”
The world seems to be quiet, and the Daybreak Gundam and Thunderbolt Gundam fall into the water, and in the huge explosion, it is unknown who will win and who will lose, and both will be uncertain.
Yitzhak was extremely sad and indignant, Nigaul had come this far because of him, he wanted revenge, he wanted to kill all the Orb fleets present!
However, Storm Gundam clung to the Duel Gundam and retreated with it along with the Aegis Gundam.
"Let go of me! Diego! Let me go! ”
"Don't let Nigaul's sacrifice go to waste!"
A loud shout dispersed Yitzhak's madness, and he could only curse with tears of remorse and bang on the console.
The three planes retreated, and the few [Dean] struggled to block the pouring of missiles and cover the evacuation of the three motherships.
