On the other side, although Kira, who was piloting the Assault Gundam, also discovered that the Archangel was in danger, every time he wanted to operate the Assault Gundam to return to the rescue, the Holy Shield Gundam opposite him would stop him and prevent him from returning to the Archangel. While the two Gundams were in a stalemate, several laser beams suddenly shot over, and then the Duel Gundam appeared near the two Gundams and launched a series of attacks on the Assault Gundam.
Without the help of the Duel Gundam, although the remaining Storm Gundam and Thunderbolt Gundam could still suppress the situation, they were not as strong as before. They were hit several times by the artillery operated by Sei Itō and the shells fired from the Archangel. If it were not for the protection of the PS armor, they would have died under this intensive attack.
At this time, near the Nasca-class battleship, the MA driven by Muraflag was gliding stealthily, approaching the Nasca-class battleship at a constant speed. Then when the Nasca-class battleship adjusted its direction and adjusted the main cannon, it suddenly appeared under the Nasca-class battleship. Four auxiliary weapon boxes immediately dispersed from the rear of the MA and launched an attack on the Nasca-class battleship together with the linear gun under the nose of the MA.
Even though the Nasca-class battleship responded in time, the MA driven by Muraflag still destroyed the right auxiliary engine. Then when the battleship vibrated and deviated, the MA used the emergency fixator on the MA to penetrate an outer wall of the Nasca-class battleship. It then turned around and flew back to the Archangel at a high speed.
At this time, after Muraflag's successful operation was discovered on the radar. Maude immediately issued the order to charge the positron cannon and immediately launched it after charging.
Two scarlet energy beams with blue electric arcs shot out from the front legs of the Archangel once again, annihilating countless meteorites and garbage along the way. They brushed past the left wing of the Nascar-class battleship that was hastily dodging, leaving a huge wound on the battleship.
"Send a return signal to the Assault Gundam, the Archangel is heading to Fortress Artemis at maximum speed." After confirming that the Nasca-class battleship in front of the road had deviated from the route due to damage, Maude immediately ordered in a hurry.
Then the pink, white, and green signal flares representing the retreat signal were launched from the Archangel. He told Kira, who was fighting, to return to the Archangel.
However, as the opponent of the Assault Gundam, the Duel Gundam didn't want to let it go so easily. It continued to entangle the Assault Gundam and engage it in battle. Immediately after. The Storm Gundam, which had received the order to retreat, immediately joined the battle when it discovered that the Duel Gundam was still in combat mode. Together with the Duel Gundam, it began attacking the Storm Gundam.
That was it. Under the pincer attack of the Assault Gundam and the Storm Gundam, the Assault Gundam's already low energy reserves were quickly depleted. Without its energy supply, the PS armor immediately faded from the surface of the Assault Gundam's body, turning into a grayish appearance.
Just when Kira thought that he was dead for sure and that the Duel Gundam was bound to cut through the assault, the Holy Shield Gundam, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly changed from its original human form to a squid without four tentacles. Before the Duel Gundam was about to cut through the assault, it suddenly grabbed the body of the Gundam and dodged the Duel Gundam's attack. Then, it quickly flew in the direction of the Nasca-class warship.
"Kira!" Mirialia exclaimed.
"It was caught." "The Assault Gundam was caught by the Holy Shield Gundam." "The Phase Transfer Armor has failed." The radar monitoring, combat control officer, and CIC communication control officer in the Archangel warship hurriedly reported.
"Inform Captain Flagg. Tell him to try his best to save the Assault Gundam from the enemy. " Just when the others didn't know what to do, Sei Itō immediately arranged according to the original plan. "Captain Lamias, tell the crew to prepare the cannons, load them into the backpack, eject them through the launch port, and reload them in the universe."
"What!" Both Margaret and Buckylulu looked at Sei Itō in shock.
"Beep beep beep" At this moment. Mura and Flagg's communication request came from the communication channel. The content was almost the same as Sei Itō's. Seeing this, Buckylulu and Margaret looked at each other and immediately agreed. They prepared according to Sei Itō's instructions.
Just as the Archangel was done with its preparations, Muraflag drove his MA to the vicinity of the Holy Shield Gundam. He launched an attack against it. The intensive and accurate attacks forced the Holy Shield Gundam to let go of the Assault Gundam in its hand and turn back into its human form to counterattack Flagg's Flagg. After regaining its freedom, the Assault Gundam paused for a moment, then immediately flew toward the Archangel.
Although the Duel Gundam and the Storm Gundam pursued the Assault Gundam, with the cover of the Archangel and Sei Itō, the two Gundams couldn't get close to the Assault Gundam at all. They could only watch the Assault Gundam successfully reload and then use its high-energy linear cannons to madly fire at them without any targets.
In the end, they had no choice but to obey the initial retreat order and flew back to the Nascar-class warship.
"Phew!" Looking at the four Gundams retreating on the screen, Margaret let out a long sigh and relaxed. Then she ordered everyone. "Withdraw Flagg and Assault Gundam, full speed ahead to Artemis. CIC, send a request to Fortress Artemis to stay. "
"Yes." Everyone responded.
"My hands are stiff." Sei Itō on the side released his hands from the cannon control console, got up, and floated to Margaret's side. He stretched his fingers while muttering to himself. Then he turned to look at Margaret and smiled. "This battle command is good, you are becoming more and more like a captain. It seems that with you and Buckylulu leading, it seems that returning to earth is not an extravagant hope."
"Don't make fun of me, I was stunned when the Assault Gundam was snatched away. If it weren't for you and Captain Flagg's plan, let alone saving the Assault Gundam, we might not even be able to win this battle." Margaret shook her head and said softly.
"Reporting to Captain, Artemis has accepted our request to stay and said that an inspection ship will be sent immediately." At this time, the CIC on the side reported to Margaret loudly.
"I see, thank you." Margaret thanked him.
"Inspection ship?" Sei Itō repeated.
"What?" Hearing Sei Itō's repetition, Margaret looked up at Sei Itō and asked in confusion.
"It seems that we are going to be prisoners for a while." Sei Itō smiled at Margaret.
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Margaret frowned slightly and lowered her head to think. After a while, she picked up the internal phone next to the captain's seat and dialed the number of the maintenance squad. She said to the maintenance squad leader, Captain Kejerma, who answered on the other end. "Captain Madoc, go and tell Kira to put a password lock on the Assault Gundam."
"I see." Madoc replied. Then, Ma Liu hung up the phone, ending the short conversation.
"Ah, the battle just now exhausted me. I'm going back to my room to rest. You guys continue." Sei Itō pretended to stretch his neck and shoulders and said exaggeratedly.
"Don't you want to see the inspectors from Artemis?" Margaret asked as she looked at Sei Itō who was walking towards the door.
"No." Sei Itō waved his hand. Then he left the bridge and disappeared behind the sensor door.
More than twenty minutes later, a small transport spacecraft landed from the entrance at the front of the Archangel. Then two men, one tall and one short, walked out of the small spacecraft. They were led down to the bridge by a low-level officer of the Archangel who had been waiting there for a long time. They saw the neatly dressed Margaret Ramyes and Natale Buckylulu.
"Thank you for your hard work." Margaret and Buckylulu saluted the two officers who came in and said, "Thank you for accepting the request of the ship …"
While Marlow and Buckylulu received the inspectors from Artemis Fortress, the Archangel also turned around and retreated into Artemis Fortress under the guidance of the light of the fortress's route.
Artemis Fortress was a fortress built inside a huge meteorite on the border. Its exterior was wrapped and protected by the Eurasian Federation's unique light-wave defense belt. And because the light-wave defense belt not only had a physical defense effect, but it also had a strong defensive ability against beam weapons. Therefore, in several previous battles, it had withstood many attacks from Zaft without failing once. It had gained a great reputation on the battlefield and was known as "Artemis of the Umbrella".
Just when everyone on the ship thought that they were safe for the time being, the Archangel, which had just stopped in Artemis Fortress, was immediately surrounded by several specially-equipped MAVs and a large number of soldiers in spacesuits and weapons.
"What is the meaning of this!" Buckylulu turned her head abruptly and looked at the two Artemis Fortress officers beside her. She suppressed the anger in her heart and whispered.
"Major." Although Margaret was reminded by Sei Itō in advance and was somewhat mentally prepared for the situation at this time, after witnessing the current situation with her own eyes, Margaret, like Buckylulu, still couldn't accept being stabbed in the back by her allies.
"Don't be nervous, please be quiet. Captain Ramyes. "The major beside Margaux calmly glanced at Margaux and said.
Then these soldiers quickly floated to the landing entrance of the Archangel. One by one, they broke into the interior of the Archangel from the opened landing entrance. Then, in groups of several people, they scattered into the various passages, suppressing all possible resistance in the Archangel as quickly as possible …
