Then, everyone saw the former Desert Tiger, Andy Baltfield, and Lacus Klein, who were blinded in one eye, disembarking from the Eternity, as well as some soldiers in Zaft military uniforms.
"It's our first time meeting. Isn't it strange to say that?" After getting off the boat, Andy Baltfield said to Margaret in front of him, "I'm Andy Baltfield."
"I'm Margaux Lamias," Margaux said solemnly as she saluted. Then, her expression changed as she said with a smile, "But I was really shocked."
"Everyone was, right, young man?" Andy Baltfield said to Marlene. He then turned to Kira, who had a guilty look on his face, and said with a smile.
"You have a reason to kill me," Kira said solemnly.
"On the battlefield, everyone has a reason, and no one has a reason," Andy said softly with his eyes closed.
"Thank you," Kira lowered his head slightly and said softly with a mix of gratitude and guilt in his heart.
Then, the two groups of people exchanged pleasantries in the harbor for a while before returning to their battleships and continuing with their work. Later, Andy Baltfield and Lacus, who had finished settling the personnel, came to the Archangel to discuss current affairs with Aubrey's Kisaka and Carrie, as well as Margaux, Mu, and Sei Itō on the Archangel.
"Is the current problem still on the Moon? I heard that the Earth Army is constantly sending troops up from the recaptured Victoria City." Lux was wearing a white sleeveless windbreaker with a light purple long-sleeved top and a short skirt. Her long pink hair, except for a small portion that was braided into a braid at the back of her head to act as a hair band, was cascading down her back naturally. She spoke softly with a solemn expression.
"They want to launch an all-out attack on Plant, right?" Margaux guessed.
"There are plenty of people who are determined to plot against Plant. For the sake of the blue and peaceful world?" Andy Baltfield said in a mocking tone. Margaux, who heard his words, immediately thought of something bad, and her expression turned ugly.
"Stop it," Mu said in a deep voice.
"I didn't say that," Andy Baltfield said with a shrug.
"Although this is the truth." Mu sighed helplessly.
"Why attack the regulator for the sake of the blue and peaceful world? Although he didn't know what the blue and peaceful world was like, from PLANT's perspective, he naturally couldn't sit still when he was attacked for such a ridiculous reason. However, the higher-ups of plant have long treated the Naturals as obstacles. Of course, they will defend and counterattack. In order to prevent the same thing from happening a second time, how long will this continue? "Andy Baltfield sighed like a philosopher of life.
"What a cruel era." Ma Liu reached out and put her hand on Sei Itō's shoulder. She leaned against him and said in a heavy tone. Seeing this, Sei Itō reached out and gently patted the back of Margaux's hand on his shoulder, silently comforting her.
"But the ones who caused it and stopped it were us humans. No matter when, there were countless people who had the same thoughts as us, wanting to create an era that wasn't as cruel as this one." Lacus turned to look at Kira with a smile.
"Utopia." Sei Itō sighed.
"No, I just want to end the war and let everyone live happily in a world." Hearing Sei Itō's description, Lacus turned to look at him and explained.
"Well." Ito Sei shrugged his shoulders and didn't comment on this.
Then, after a simple discussion, the people in charge of the three ships who had decided on their future actions returned to their respective warships and began to prepare for the war. Because the SS Eternity was a transport ship dedicated to the two Gundams of Freedom and Justice, the two planes that had been staying in the Archangel were transferred to the SS Eternity, leaving only Sei Itō's Heresy Gundam, Mu's Assault Gundam, and Diego's Storm Gundam stationed in the Archangel.
Just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye, and it was July 15, CE71. On this day, just as Sei Itō was piloting the Heresy Gundam to help the SS Eternity replenish its ammunition, a series of urgent sirens sounded in the port where the three ships were parked. At the same time, the announcement of "all personnel first combat equipment" immediately appeared in everyone's ears, summoning everyone to return to their respective warships and prepare to attack.
But at this moment, a violent tremor came from the colonial satellite Mendel's body, causing everyone to feel uncomfortable. Then, when the tremor stopped, the Archangel, which was already prepared, flew out of the port and into the universe, flying towards the unknown warship detected by the radar.
At the next moment, a communication was suddenly transmitted from the full-wave communication channel. The female voice in the communication said in a sonorous tone, "This is the Earth Alliance Army's space battleship, Angel. Can you hear me, Archangel?"
"I demand that your ship, which is a defector ship, immediately surrender unconditionally. If you don't comply with the order, your ship will be destroyed." After a pause, the female voice, which was Natal-Bajilulu, continued.
At this time, the distance between the two warships was close enough for a video call, and then Bajilulu in military uniform appeared on the optical screen of the Archangel bridge.
"Long time no see, Captain Ramyes," Bajilulu greeted.
"Yeah," Marlene said.
"I'm sorry to see you again in this form," Bajilulu said in a slightly lower voice.
"Yeah." Marlene sighed.
"I've heard about what happened in Alaska, but in any case, please surrender first, and then talk to the military's upper echelons. Although my words may not be useful, I will defend you, "Bajilulu said," I believe you are very clear about the performance of my ship. "
"Natal, thank you." Marlene's tone was sincere, and then her voice was decisive and straightforward, "But we can't do this, not only because of what happened in Alaska, but also because we have doubts about the Earth Alliance Army itself. Therefore, we will not surrender or return to the team. "
Just when Bajilulu was shocked by Marlene's decision, a male voice suddenly appeared on the full-wave communication channel.
"Hahahaha, I thought you wanted to do something? I really admire you, Captain, "the male voice said. "If the problem could be solved by dialogue alone, there would be no war in this world. It's because you can't understand that you become an enemy, and then the enemy must be eliminated."
"Director Azrael!" Hearing this, Bucky Lulu cried out emotionally.
"Disaster, Prohibition, Sudden Attack, Gundam attack." Azrael ignored Bajilulu and ordered, then continued on the communication channel, "Archangel, the unsinkable ship, let me end your myth today."
Following Azrael's words, three new Gundams of the Earth Army and more than a dozen mass-produced MS immediately flew out of the two ejection ports at the front of the Archangel and attacked the Archangel at high speed. Correspondingly, Kira's Freedom Gundam, Mu's Assault Gundam, and Sei Itō's Heresy Gundam also flew out of the Archangel to meet them. But this was not the end. The Justice Gundam and the Storm Gundam also flew out of the Archangel to meet the Earth Army.
"Heresy Gundam and Assault Gundam, reinforce the Archangel." Immediately afterward, Marlene's order sounded in the Heresy Gundam driven by Sei Itō.
"Got it." Sei Itō responded, then drove the Heresy Gundam to hover near the Archangel and fired a beam gun at the Earth Army's mass-produced MS that approached.
Space battles were not like those on Earth. When firing laser beams on Earth, one had to consider the influence of other factors such as gravity, atmospheric refraction, and so on. Although there were many factors, they could basically be corrected by human senses and the naked eye. But it was different in space. Because of the space environment, when looking at things, it would often cause an optical illusion of "blurry far away but clear near". It was difficult to determine the specific location of an object, and those who could quickly determine the location of an object were the true elites on the space battlefield.
Among all the natural combatants in the Gundam world, there were only 16 people who truly reached the elite standard, including Sei Itō and Mu. And 14 of them had already died in the moon war. The only one who survived, Mu, received the title "Eagle of Antimion" in that war. It was clear how rare the elites in space battles were. Therefore, although these Earth Army's MS overwhelmed Sei Itō and the others in terms of numbers, they were all noobs in a real battle.
But even so, after eliminating the two Gundams of Freedom and Justice that were restrained by the three Gundams of Forbidden, Calamity, and Ambush, the Earth Army's MS still had a certain advantage in terms of numbers. In addition, as the captain, Bukylulu's excellent warship commanding ability and the powerful artillery fire of the Archangel, so even with the protection of Sei Itō and the others, the Archangel still suffered a certain degree of damage.
But after fighting for a while, the Ambush Gundam, which was fighting with the Earth Army's MS, suddenly stopped and then rushed toward "Mendel" without saying anything.
"Is Kreutzer here?" Seeing the Ambush Gundam's action, Sei Itō could roughly guess the reason, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He still guarded near the Archangel and fought with the Earth Army's MS.
After a pause, the Storm Gundam quickly caught up with the Ambush Gundam and rushed toward the rear of "Mendel".
At the same time, the Grass Razor, which had flown out of the space port of "Mendel" since the beginning of the battle but was entangled by the space garbage in the surrounding gravel belt, finally cut off the thick steel cable shackling the ship with the unremitting efforts of an M1. It broke free and flew toward the battlefield where the Archangel and the Archangel were fighting at full speed.
Then, because of the addition of the Grass Razor and the fact that the energy of the three Gundams of Forbidden, Calamity, and Ambush was about to run out, the Archangel immediately sent out a retreat signal and then took the three Gundams that returned to the ship and quickly left the battlefield.
Then, the Archangel and the Grass Razor that ended the battle each took back their Gundams and returned to the space port of "Mendel" to stop.
What followed was a long wait of more than an hour. Even if the Archangel attacked again, the Ambush Gundam, Freedom Gundam, and Storm Gundam that went to investigate the rear still did not return.
"Please, Sei Itō." When the battle started again, Margaux said with a solemn expression.
"Got it." Sei Itō nodded with a solemn expression. Then, he piloted the heretic Gundam out of the Archangel and faced the three Gundams of Forbidden, Calamity, and Ambush together with the Justice Gundam that stayed behind.
"Aslan, leave the one with the cannons to me." After arriving at the battlefield, Sei Itō said in the comms channel.
"Okay." Aslan replied and controlled the Justice Gundam to force back the two Gundams of Forbidden and Ambush, separating the Calamity Gundams and the heretic Gundams.
Seeing that Aslan had completed the interception, Sei Itō did not hesitate. The thrusters on his back lit up, and he quickly approached the Calamity Gundam. The Calamity Gundam might have recalled what happened on Earth and immediately gave up on attacking the Justice Gundam. Instead, it raised its cannons and fired at the heretic Gundam.
Four crimson, bright yellow, and emerald green energy beams instantly shot out from the Calamity Gundam's two shoulder cannons and shot toward the heretic Gundam.
As the target, the heretic Gundam immediately moved to the side and dodged the attack. At the same time, it fired back at the Calamity Gundam. The Calamity Gundam's reaction was not weak either. It pushed forward and dodged the heretic's attack before shooting back.
Just like that, the two mechas shot at each other in space. However, as a turret-type Disaster Gundam, it was not as agile as the Heresy Gundam in the universe. Therefore, it did not take long for Ito Sei, who was still closing in under the bombardment of cannons, to get close to it and destroy the linear cannon in his hand with a shot at close range.
Then, the heretic Gundam suddenly crouched down and dodged the two crimson cannons fired from the Calamity Gundam's shoulder cannons. Then, it controlled its body to perform a Muay Thai double knee strike. The heretic Gundam's two elbows and left knee landed on the Calamity Gundam's chest and head at the same time. In particular, the elbow strike that landed on the head instantly destroyed the Calamity Gundam's automatic locking system, making it so that it could only rely on its naked eye to determine the location of the object when it fired the laser beam. As for the knee strike on the chest, it did not leave much of a mark because the deck had been specially thickened to protect the cockpit.
Sei Itō, who had controlled the heretic Gundam to complete the knee strike in Muay Thai, suddenly stomped on the pagoda, causing the thrusters on the heretic Gundam's back to light up. It pushed the heretic Gundam directly onto the Calamity Gundam's body and landed on the back of the Calamity Gundam. Then, he retracted his arms that were still holding onto the Calamity Gundam's shoulders. At the same time, the body of the Gundam bent down and made a rear-projection pose.
Then, the Calamity Gundam was thrown like a big toy toward the two Gundams. At the same time, the heretic Gundam raised the beam gun in its hand and fired at the Calamity Gundam that was flying toward the other two Gundams.
