Chapter 305: Survival from the Jedi
Half a month has passed since Cagalli returned safely to the Archangel after her disappearance. The Archangel successfully broke through the Indian Ocean and headed towards Orb. The Indian Ocean The journey ushered in a brief period of peace after annihilating Team Marco.
During this period of time, Yang Hui can also calm down and complete the development of the natural person's OS, at least on the surface. Sai and Thor, who want to learn how to drive MS, just follow Yang Hui. He didn't say anything, but his expectant eyes almost looked through Yang Hui.
Since he agreed to them, Yang Hui will naturally fulfill his promise.
However, Yang Hui also knew that Thor and Sai were real cannon fodder. Yang Hui regarded the two as friends and naturally wanted them to work on the safe bridge, so he deliberately concealed it when writing the OS. Part of them used the excuse that the technology was incomplete and needed to be improved to hold them back.
And now the Archangel is still sailing on the sea, and we don’t know when the enemy will attack, so we can only help them do some simple basic training, such as controlling the mobile suit to raise its hands, move its feet, etc. , at most, it can only take a few steps in Gnaku.
Although they are exhausted every time, they are also very excited because this is MS! Adjuster's patent!
While still in North Africa, Sai was unwilling to let Fleur be snatched away by Kira, so he thought about piloting the Strike Gundam instead of Kira. However, he sat in the cockpit and took a step or two forward. The whole person collapsed.
Although I can only do some simple movements now and cannot hold on for too long, it is much better than before! Moreover, the natural human-use OS written by Yang Hui has not yet been completed. They believe that it will be completed one day, and they will one day be able to actually drive mobile suits to fight.
However, the time of peace is always short-lived. When we crossed the Indian Ocean and prepared to enter Oceania from the Maliu Strait, we encountered a heavy ambush by the ZAFT army. The ambush included Duel, Storm, Thunder and Holy Shield. Although the Aslan team managed to break through the ambush circle without any risk, the Archangel was severely damaged in that battle. The [Porcupine Formation] and [Valiant Formation] on the port side were all destroyed, and even the engine on the left side was destroyed. It was damaged, Lyle's [Jean] was also severely damaged, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Moreover, ZAFT's attack is not an ambush and it is over. It originally needed to prepare for [Operation Breaking the Situation]. ZAFT's troops on the earth were nervously mobilized, ready to launch a large-scale battle, but Yitzhak and Diego But he has an unimaginable obsession with the Archangel, and he will not give up until he sinks the Archangel.
At the same time, Aslan has always hoped to sink the Archangel and liberate Kira. He still believes that the reason why Kira is fighting for the Earth Army is that the Earth Army deceived him. Or he hijacked his friends as a threat. As long as he sank the Archangel, Kira's restraint would no longer exist.
So, no matter which direction the Archangel escapes, Team Sala will bite the Archangel's tail and hold on.
"Captain, if we continue like this, we may not be able to reach Orb." Baki Lulu checked the current situation of the Archangel and reported to Malu with a dejected face.
"I know it's difficult, but we must persist. We are not far from Orb's border. As long as we enter Orb's border, it is victory." Malu encouraged everyone. As the captain, Of course she knew how critical the Archangel's situation was, and she was helpless. For everyone's safety, she even found Yang Hui and shamelessly asked him to send electricity to Orb and send a fleet to support them. Just like the universe, spend money to hire some mercenaries.
But Yang Hui rejected her request. It was not that Yang Hui was cold-blooded, but that he really couldn't do it.
Orb's fleet can indeed welcome the Archangel, but it must be within Orb's transit. Yang Hui can already invite the Archangel to Orb for repairs and supplies in the name of entrusting escort. We have reached the limit. If Orb's fleet rushes out to fight the ZAFT army, what is the difference between that and directly declaring war on ZAFT?
As for the mercenaries...except for [Snake's Tail], Yang Hui would not believe any of the other mercenaries. If all the people in the Scrap Recyclers Union except Luo's team are hyenas, then the mercenary organization Most of them are jackals, tigers and leopards.
Although the scrap recyclers are insidious and cunning, as long as the price is determined and the money is paid and delivered, they will not do anything else. However, most mercenaries really do anything for money. It can be done.
The Archangel and Strike Gundam are both the Atlantic Federation's most cutting-edge battleships and mobile suits. They are full of secrets. Are they still not overwhelmed by greed when seen by those mercenaries? The mercenaries were able to carve up the Archangel completely without waiting for Team Sala's pursuit.
Unfortunately for [Giant Serpent's Tail], they have already returned to the universe and will not be able to catch up in a short time.
Of course, [Serpent's Tail] is definitely not the only mercenary organization that Yang Hui is familiar with, but only [Serpent's Tail] can be trusted. However, there is an independent MS pilot named Kate Matikan who can. It was safe to use, but unfortunately, he also accepted a certain bodyguard mission and couldn't get away.
"Beep beep beep..."
"The radar reacted! MS4!"
No need to report the specific model, everyone already knew the four chasing them Which army the MSs were, they all returned to their posts, and the Skymasters who attacked Gundam and Mu were also ready to attack.
At this time, a brand new reaction appeared on the radar, in another direction.
"There is a new reaction in the radar, heat source detection...a large number of warships and fighter planes are approaching!"
"What!?"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts began to Despair is spreading. With the current state of the Archangel, it is a question whether it can survive in the hands of Team Sala. Coupled with the large fleet and fighter planes, they have no chance of survival.
“Damn! It’s all here!”
"It's over, everything is over..."
...
Katz, Thor and others vented their unwillingness and despair, while Arnold and other regular soldiers endured the same emotions and remained at their posts. But they were almost unable to suppress the collapse of their sanity. Only Malu and Baji Lulu could still hold on.
"Compare the database, check the ship type and aircraft model!"
"Ah? Yes!" Sai gave up because of despair, so he did not compare the database immediately, but after getting After knowing the answer, all the negative emotions disappeared.
"Compared with the database, it's Orb! Orb's Aegis-class cruiser and Kurami-class battleship!"
"Orb's fleet!" "Are they here to save us? Great! We're saved!" "
"Wait! The Orb fleet...stop action!"
"What?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why don't you come to rescue us?"
"Ensign Arnold, maximum combat speed, move towards the Orb fleet!"
The appearance of the Orb fleet was indeed a shot in the arm and raised everyone's hopes, but the stoppage of the Orb fleet cast a shadow. Malu knew very well that the location where the Orb fleet stopped was the Orb's national border. Whether the Archangel can survive depends on whether it can cross the border safely.
“Huh? Yes!”
Everyone couldn't figure out why the Orb fleet stopped all operations, but Malu's order had been issued, and this was their only hope now.
On the other side, the four Aslans who were pursuing also saw the Orb fleet spreading out its front on the sea. Unaware of the truth, they thought that this was the Archangel that was about to enter Orb's national border, and came to Those who intercepted them were secretly delighted. Now the roads in front and behind the Archangel were completely blocked.
Just when Yitzhak was about to catch up, the Holy Shield Gundam stood in front of the Duel Gundam.
“Wait, Yitzhak, something is wrong.”
“Aslan? Get out of my way!”
"Something is indeed wrong. The artillery of Yitzhak, Diego, and the Orb fleet... are all locked onto us." Thunder Gundam also stopped Storm Gundam and explained to them.
“What!?”
The three of them began to check the system one after another, and found that Nigel was right. The Orb fleet blocking the front of the Archangel did not attack the approaching Archangel. The Angel issued no warning, and even moved out of the way, pointing its guns at the four Gundams in the sky.
"What is going on? Has Orb defected to the United Earth?" Yitzhak asked through gritted teeth.
"It's so obvious, can't you see it? In this case, Orb is also a hostile country, let's go directly!" Diego suggested, even preparing to take action.
"Just in time, I've already seen Orb unhappy!"
"Stop it! Yitzhak, Diego, you wait here, I'll go find out the situation."
"It's too dangerous, Aslan."
"Then what should we do now? Just retreat like this?"
Watching the ripe duck fly away from your mouth, No one can be reconciled, not only Yitzhak and Diego, but also Aslan and Nigel.
"Pay attention to safety."
"If Orb dares to fire, I will sink this fleet!"
"Well, you should also be careful."
Sacred Shield The Gundam flew forward slowly. In order to prove that it was not a threat, it even took the initiative to put away the beam rifle. However... Orb's fleet did not relax its vigilance. All the weapon locks moved with the movement of the Aegis Gundam. Locked on the Holy Shield Gundam.
"This is the Sara Team of the ZAFT Army's independent mobile suit unit. We are protesting to Orb and asking why, as a neutral country, you are protecting the Earth United warships from entering?" Aslan opened the public channel and asked Orb. The cloth fleet issued an accusation.
Soon, the Orb fleet responded.
“This is the Orb Second Fleet, a battleship belonging to the Atlantic Federation. The Archangel received a commission from our country’s dignitaries to escort the dignitaries back to Orb. This matter was signed with the Atlantic Federation a month ago. Agreement, owns all agreement files. "
"What!"
