Chapter 396 Exposed? Then don’t hide it!
"What's going on?" Malu and Lux frowned when they saw that the attacks of the Earth Army's 3rd and 4th mobile fleets had weakened and even began to retreat in an orderly manner.
"Inform the MS troops not to pursue, and wait and see what happens!" Malu and Lux immediately ordered. The retreat of the Earth Army fleet was very abnormal. Although it was suppressed and beaten, it did not fall into a disadvantage. As long as It is possible to break through their blockade with a little more ruthlessness.
Furthermore, after Artemis was destroyed, the Earth’s military fleet should have rushed to destroy Genesis. Why did it retreat back instead?
At this moment, the communicator that Malu had been keeping on her body rang.
"This is!"
This communicator was given to her by Wang Liumei. It is a secret channel to contact Duane Halboton. She also planned to defeat the 3rd and 4th Mobile Fleet. After getting in touch with Duane Halboton, he didn't expect that the other party came to the door first.
All the messages sent by this communicator have been triple encrypted, and a special decryption code is required to view the content of the message. Wang Liumei handed it to Ma Liu together, and after less than a minute of decryption, Malu saw the contents.
“This is it!”
“Captain Lamias, what news is coming from the other side?” Lux asked, Bucky Lulu and others were also looking forward to it. Know that this communicator is used exclusively to communicate with Duane Halboton.
"General Halbarton is now acting as the commander-in-chief of the Lunar Crater Base. It was he who ordered the 3rd and 4th Fleets to retreat."
"What?"
"So fast? ”
Everyone was surprised, how long has it been? Duane Halboton returned to power and took control of the lunar crater base? This is impossible, right?
“Could it be a trap?” Bucky Lulu asked suspiciously. She suspected that the sender of the letter was not Duane Halbaton. Duane Halbaton had been exposed and the communicator had also fallen into the trap. In other people's hands.
"It's possible, but not absolute." Malu and Lux nodded in agreement, but did not reject it. This was Duane Halbarton himself. "There is a follow-up to the news. The content said that General Halbarton had guessed that Yang Hui's single ship was deep into the sea. He will fully cooperate with Yang Hui’s plan behind enemy lines.”
“What!?”
“Did you say how to cooperate?”
"Yes, he will lead a large force to attack Boyaz Fortress, put up a last-ditch battle formation to attract ZAFT's attention, and hold back more ZAFT troops from interfering with Yang Hui and the others."
"Where is the nuclear bomb? Did he say anything about his attitude?" Lux asked. If this is really the message sent by Duane Halboton himself, and what he said is true, then it is undoubtedly the best to cooperate with him choice, but...
Two questions, how to determine that the sender is Duane Halboton? What is his attitude towards nuclear bombs?
Especially the latter question, there is no problem in attacking Boyaz Fortress, but if nuclear bombs are to be used, then there is no basis for cooperation between them. Neither nuclear bombs nor Genesis should be used. Weapons cannot allow the use of nuclear weapons to become the norm.
"Yes, he said that he has ordered a ban on the use of nuclear bombs."
"...The credibility is not high." Baji Lulu shook her head. It was not that she was against Duane Ha Elbarton is biased. At this point in the war, the Earth Alliance and the Earth Army are already standing on the edge of the cliff. If they are not careful, they will fall into the endless abyss.
The nuclear bomb is the sharpest weapon in their hands. Whether it is to confront their own crisis or win this war, using nuclear bombs is the best choice, even if Duane Halbaton is not [Blue Cosmos] 】 people will not make the choice to disable nuclear bombs to reverse the situation of the war. This is a normal consideration from the position of a commander.
"That's right, and even if all this is true, how many people will obey Halbarton's order to ban nuclear bombs? The Earth's military fleet is not monolithic." Lux reminded, letting Malu and Bucky Lulu was stunned.
Yes, Duane Halbaton's prestige in the Earth Army is not low, but he is only among the lower-level soldiers. The middle-level and high-level officers do not like him very much, otherwise he would not end up in an isolated and semi-house arrest. status.
It is true that Duane Halpaton is now the acting commander-in-chief, but he has just taken office and most of the officers below him do not like him. How many people will carry out his orders? How many people are willing to obey the law and violate the law? How many people would agree on the surface and then stab him in the back at a critical moment?
"Captain Lamias, I suggest you retreat temporarily and let the Earth Army fleet pass. We will follow closely behind. Once we find that the Earth Army uses nuclear bombs again, we will stop it." Lux suggested .
This is the most pertinent choice. If they are the only ones with troops, they can just drag it on like this. The longer they delay, the better they will make an appointment. But what they lack most now is time, and they must stabilize the Earth Army's fleet as soon as possible. , and then find a way to support the White Tiger, so temporarily retreat and observe the movements of the Earth's military fleet.
The purpose of the Archangel and the Eternal is to prevent the Earth's fleet from using nuclear bombs again. Now that this purpose has been initially accomplished, there is no need to fight with the Earth's fleet.
As long as the Earth Army fleet does not use nuclear bombs, they will not care about the war between the Earth Army and ZAFT, because the most important goals now are nuclear bombs and Genesis. As long as the use of nuclear weapons is prevented, this war will be prevented. More than half of it.
Of course, this is the best expected situation. In order to prevent the worst case scenario from happening, they cannot just leave to chase the White Tiger. They have to become supervisors. If the Earth Army uses nuclear bombs again, they will He will appear to stop it.
"Okay, it's decided." Malu and Bagilulu nodded in agreement with Lux's suggestion. After the Archangel and Eternal recovered all the MS, they turned around and left the battle area, disappearing again.
...
On the other side, the White Tiger's journey was not peaceful. It bypassed the defense line of Boyaz Fortress at the fastest speed and the smallest arc, but just when they were about to penetrate deep into the rear through the defense line , they were discovered.
"Damn it! Why were you discovered here!?" Cherubim raised his gun and shot down several [Jean] and [Gates], then turned around and shot down all the missiles flying towards the White Tiger.
"Boaz's defenders expanded the defense line and reconnaissance range... Our plan was exposed!" Tielia's expression was dull, and De Angel fired two cannons, penetrating two Lorathia-class battleships. .
"They can't be spies." Setsuna replied calmly. The crew of the White Tiger are all carefully selected people and are absolutely loyal to Orb, let alone the Eternal and Archangel. We have fought side by side together many times, and we have established bonds and trust with each other.
"Old Sara saw through it." Yang Hui said to everyone while controlling the Dawn Gundam to clean up the enemy aircraft directly in front, "The movements of the Eternal and Archangel were noticed by the other party. Old Sara guessed it without seeing us. Our plan. "
"What to do now? There are more and more enemies!" Luo shouted. It was his first time to participate in a battle of this scale. He was very nervous at first. A small fleet of one Nazca-class and two Lorathia-class ships.
The White Tiger knew that it had been discovered, so it naturally no longer needed to hide its whereabouts. It opened fire and quickly eliminated the reconnaissance fleet that discovered them, and headed towards Genesis at full speed.
But before they could advance far, they encountered ZAFT's fleet again, and they were constantly surrounding them from all directions. Even if they could break through once, they would be surrounded again.
"Emperor! Recalculate the route and use all the energy on the engine. We will rush over directly!" Yang Hui immediately made a decision. Their whereabouts have been completely exposed, so they might as well stop hiding it and directly use the most powerful method. The tough stance breaks through ZAFT's frontal blockade and uses all its strength to destroy Genesis.
"...Understood!" Huang knew that Yang Hui was planning to make a desperate move.
"The entire aircraft is in contraction formation. Luo, Gai, your aircraft cannot keep up with the speed of the White Tiger. Go and fix the left and right modules and bind them to the White Tiger!"
"Understood!" X6
The Archangel, the Gundam Heretic Red Frame, and the Gundam Heretic Blue Frame that originally wandered outside the circle have returned. The Archangel, Cherubian, and De Angel are guarding the White Tiger. The Gundam Heretic Red Frame and the Heretic The Gundam Blue Machine arrived at the designated location and fixed the body on the White Tiger.
Daybreak Gundam's eyes lit up, his golden wings fully opened, and golden light spots violently spurted out, spraying to both sides and directly in front.
The ZAFT army knew how to respond, and frantically poured firepower into the starlight wave, but it could only delay, not stop, let alone repel it.
The golden light point slowly approached, and ZAFT's mobile suits and battleships retreated one after another. While retreating, they tilted their firepower to prevent the bits from approaching. The enemy aircraft that failed to retreat in time were instantly covered with bits, and exploded violently. turned into the dust of the universe.
"Now!" Although the number of kills was not many, Yang Hui's goal had been achieved, and the path forward had been opened.
"White Tiger, engine ignition! Go ahead at full speed!"
The main engine erupted with dazzling fire, more violent than before. The huge thrust made everyone on the White Tiger suffer from the pain of inertia. The White Tiger's speed became faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye it rushed into the path opened by the Dawn Gundam, and then rushed out of the ZAFT army's siege.
The Energizer, Cherubian, and De Angel also ran their engines at full speed, following the White Tiger's pace while clearing out enemy aircraft and ships that were trying to approach.
The Daybreak Gundam maintains the full output of the [X Generator], as the tip of the arrow, fixed at the front, forcing back or defeating all enemy forces that want to block the White Tiger's path, spreading all the way. Countless starlight fell, leaving behind dense debris.
“I can see it!”
After about half an hour of sprinting, everyone was finally able to see the outline of Genesis with the naked eye, but the enemies they had to face at this time were also more numerous. Much more.
“Angels of energy, angels of wisdom, and angels of virtue, intersperse and hunt! Shatter the enemy’s formation into pieces!”
"Understood!" >The Energetic Angels, Cherubian Angels and German Angels no longer had the burden of protecting the White Tiger, and instantly transformed into caged tigers, separated in three directions, like three sharp knives inserted into the ZAFT army's formation, thrusting, horizontally slashing, vertically slashing, three In two strokes, the ZAFT army's formation was cut into pieces. Countless explosions bloomed and then disappeared in a flash.
