The headless steel giant stumbled and fell to the ground.
Short and small, wielding a pair of scarlet swords, like a magnificent Knight from legends. Compared to Zagu, this was a relatively short figure.
This extreme difference in height caused Norris to be unable to shift his gaze away.
That extremely shocking difference in height subverted Norris's understanding of the MS. This killing machine created by the crystallization of human technology actually had such a small form.
That's right.
Although this was the first time Norris had seen this Zagu I, which was only a third of its height, no, it could even use a quarter of its height as a humanoid weapon. However, due to human habitual thinking, Norris immediately treated this short body, which was Lancelot, as a new type of MS.
"A new weapon from the Federation?!"
Noris' hands moved, and his Land Type Zagu II immediately reached out to the side, forcibly uprooting a large tree that was several metres tall, before tossing it towards Lancelot with all his might.
The sound of the wind suddenly rose.
A sword flashed.
The large tree that Noris had thrown out by the Land Type Zagu II was immediately chopped down.
At the same time, the white Knight Lancelot, who was not even 5 meters tall, slowly raised the radiation sword in his right hand and pointed it at the Zagu I that Norris was piloting.
A chill instantly spread from Norris's spine to his brain. However, this chill did not frighten this Tiger King who had experienced many battles. Instead, it aroused the Tiger King's fighting spirit.
"Hey! Have you finally made up your mind to kill me? Small MS!! "
Norris grinned, his voice becoming even more excited.
"Weng!"
The mechanical humming sound rumbled. The Zagu I, who was still holding the thermal axe in his hand, once again reached out and uprooted the tree beside him. His axe was in front, and the tree in his hand was behind.
If it wasn't for the fact that the legs of Zagu I had been crippled by Lancelot, Norris would definitely have charged forward and unleashed his strongest attack.
However, reality forced Noris to let his Zagu I lean against a tree and sit on the ground, assuming a nondescript offensive posture.
However,
Lancelot ignored Norris' provocation.
The guide wheel under its feet moved, and it made a few rapid turns to the left. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at the waist of Zagu I whose head was cut off.
Then,
With a turn of his left hand, the scarlet Radiation Vibration Sword pierced through the ultra-high tension steel like it was nothing. It easily pierced through the cockpit of the Land Type Zagu I.
At this moment, Noris' eyes were filled with rage.
However, he had no way of moving the Zagu I Land Combat Model that he was piloting. Even if it was the Land Type Zagu I's own propulsion backpack, it would not be able to accomplish what Norris had in mind.
This was because Norris knew that relying solely on the Land Type Zagu I's propulsion backpack would not be able to defeat this small "MS" with amazing maneuverability.
Cold sweat quietly appeared, and then quietly slid down Norris' face.
Norris' eyes followed Lancelot's scarlet sword that had sent his teammate to the underworld slowly being pulled out from the cockpit. The alarm in his heart grew louder and louder.
"It's coming!"
At this moment, Norris seemed to have seen the scythe of the Grim Reaper slowly raised, and like lightning, it slashed towards his neck.
Yes!
Norris' eyes were already attracted by the scarlet Radiation Vibration Sword in Lancelot's hands. It was as if he had fallen into an endless whirlpool of death, unable to extricate himself.
"Come! White Reaper! "
Norris, whose eyes were filled with the Radiation Vibration Sword, pushed his right hand forward. His Land Type Zagu I fiercely swung the heat axe in its hands, and slashed straight towards the scarlet blade in Norris' eyes.
"Hu!"
The wind howled, and the heat emitted from the heat axe actually dried up the fallen leaves around the Land Type Zagu I, setting them ablaze, until a whirlwind of sparks appeared on the Land Type Zagu I's body.
However, behind this whirlwind of fire, was the reality that Norris' full force attack had missed.
The Land Type Zagu I's right hand was raised high, the heat axe was still blazing hot. However, the scarlet blade in Norris' eyes had unknowingly disappeared, leaving behind the Land Type Zagu I's full force attack that had fallen behind.
"How … how could this be?"
Under Noris' astonished gaze, the dark clouds that had covered the entire area began to disperse, revealing cracks that allowed the sun to shine upon the land once more.
However, when the first ray of sunlight scattered in front of the Land Type Zagu I, the white Knight who had lowered his blade and was standing on the treetop, Norris realized that the white Knight who was supposed to send him to hell had actually focused his attention on the sky, on the dark clouds that had quietly dispersed.
Then, Norris, who subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky, saw it.
He saw a huge, disc-shaped, turtle-shell-like airframe that was surrounded by four Doras, two Lugen tactical reconnaissance aircraft, and four combat helicopters. It slowly broke through the dark clouds, descending towards the rainforest that had just seen the light of day.
Furthermore, it wasn't difficult for Norris to see that the target of this airframe that he had never seen before, and yet was surrounded by so many airframes, was the stronghold that he was previously guarding.
Suddenly, Norris's heart quivered.
"Not good! All the Zagus have run out. Then, the Federation Army should be in the stronghold right now! "
However, even if Norris had already thought of this crucial point, he was already powerless to change anything.
The current him was undoubtedly like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
"Weng!"
The sound of the guide wheel turning sounded again, but it was getting further and further away.
In a flash, Lancelot, who was standing on top of the tree, disappeared.
The next moment, Norris suddenly opened the communication channel and kept shouting.
"The troops that landed over there! Run!! The White Reaper is coming!! Run!!! "
Above the dark clouds.
A messy communication channel rushed into the slowly descending Apsaras.
"Cha … cha … quick … white … quick …"
Sitting in the middle of Apsaras, Ina's brows gradually furrowed.
There was too much noise in the messy communication channel. Even the communication equipment that Apsaras was equipped with couldn't be successfully repaired.
The only thing that could be identified was the general direction that the noise came from.
"Lugen 1, can you see anything over there?"
Ina pressed several buttons in an attempt to repair the messy communication channel, but to no avail. She then sent an inquiry to the Lugen tactical reconnaissance aircraft in front of her.
"Nope. I didn't discover much. The only thing that I saw was that the area affected by the rainstorm was too large. The rainforest below is almost completely flooded by the heavy rainfall, and I can't find any effective signs to identify our stronghold. "
Lugen 1, which had descended to a certain altitude for reconnaissance, replied.
"I got it! Increase the surveillance. "
Ina's pretty face gradually became serious.
According to the last communication that her brother Kineas sent after Apsaras took off, the Federation Army stationed in the rainforest seemed to have discovered the existence of the X3 engine.
The few bait units that were sent out before had been annihilated by the Federation.
Although Kineas was confident in the bait, for the sake of insurance, the safest thing to do was to transport the X3 engine back to the base as soon as possible.
However, the rainforest below was now being ravaged by the flood, and the communication channel with the stronghold was also paralyzed because of the flood.
"Lugen 2. Continue to descend. Try to find any possible communication channel from our army. Especially the one just now. " Ina thought for a while and decided to let another Lugen tactical reconnaissance aircraft descend to a lower altitude to search for any possible communication channel.
"Yes! Ms. Ina. "
"In addition, the tactical helicopter is ready to enter the battle at any time. Dora also needs to be prepared to receive any wounded soldiers that may be discovered."
"Yes! Ms. Ina. "
Ina's decision was appropriate.
She knew that when Apsaras appeared in the sky, even if she didn't take the initiative to search for the stronghold, the enemy would likely discover the existence of Apsaras.
Moreover, if the Federation Army also appeared here, then it meant that when Apsaras' altitude was low enough for the Federation Army to fire, a battle would be inevitable.
"Huala! Huala! "
In the raging flood, six Marines Gao Da separated in an arrow formation and slowly and steadily advanced in the rainforest ravaged by the flood.
On both sides of them, two Type-74 Air Cushion Trucks were relying on the powerful air cushion engine to move back and forth in the flood. They cautiously observed the surroundings and provided timely reconnaissance information for their Marines Gao Da.
This was not.
But the moment Apsaras appeared above the rainforest with many fighters, whether it was the Type-74 Air Cushion Trucks or the Marines Gao Da, they immediately discovered its existence.
"That's huge!! Is that Jeon's secret body?! "
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
The birth of MS has only been around for one or two years. The world's view of MS was nothing more than a huge humanoid steel combat weapon.
But Apsaras, who appeared above the rainforest at this moment, subverted everyone's inherent impression of MS.
Even the Iron Ball of the Federation Army, which was jokingly called the Iron Coffin, was far from being comparable to this huge behemoth that seemed to have the ability to fly on its own.
"Captain Leonte! The target of this big guy seems to be the stronghold we're about to go to! "
Shiro Amada forcibly withdrew his attention from Apsaras and opened the communication channel with Leonte.
"Mhmm! Perhaps, we did catch a big fish this time. "
Leonte paused and immediately opened the team communication channel.
"Everyone, check if there is any error in the beacon left by Second Lieutenant Ray Mingkai, and enter level one combat state! We caught a big fish this time. "
"Yes, sir!" Everyone responded loudly.
"Merst. What's the status of No.3? "Leonte looked at No.3 Marine Gao Da who was walking on the far left of the team.
"Not bad. But where did that second lieutenant reporter run off to? He didn't even contact us. "Merst gave a thumbs up.
"I don't know. But I believe that Second Lieutenant Ray Mingkai will be fine. "
Leonte was very confident in Ray Mingkai.
The source of the signal was none other than a beacon that only the two Gundam teams could identify in the surrounding area.
From the beginning, Leonte didn't believe that Ray Mingkai could open a path for the two Gao Da teams to pass through this rainstorm-shrouded and dangerous tropical rainforest by himself. But now, Leonte realized that Ray Mingkai, this so-called reporter lieutenant, was not as simple as he looked.
"Take cover! Zeon's reconnaissance plane is here! "
Shiro Amada's eyes were sharp. He immediately noticed the Lugen reconnaissance aircraft that had descended in front of Apsalas. After making a large circle, it flew towards them.
In the blink of an eye, all the Marine Gao Da teams hid behind the nearest tree and quietly waited for the Lugen reconnaissance plane to leave.
On the other side, Ray Mingkai, who let Norris go, hid Lancelot in the canopy of a tree below Apsaras.
"Apsaras. I didn't expect it to make a move. "
Ray Mingkai's probing eyes moved back and forth on Apsaras, but he didn't find that Apsaras was equipped with weapons beyond the scope of Ray Mingkai's memory.
"Is it still Apsaras 1? But it actually allowed Apsaras, who doesn't have any weapons, to come here under the great risk of being discovered by the Federation Army. "
Thinking of this, Ray Mingkai suddenly became more and more interested in the truth hidden under the stronghold.
However, in the previous attack, Ray Mingkai didn't find anything noteworthy in the stronghold. Otherwise, the only three Zagu I's would not have easily walked out of the stronghold and been led into the rainforest by Ray Mingkai.
"Haven't they reached the stronghold yet?"
With this thought, Ray Mingkai felt that it was very possible.
After pondering for a moment, Ray Mingkai raised his head and glanced at Apsaras, who was still surrounded by many fighters.
"If I and Lancelot don't intervene in the battle between Apsaras and Gao Da, Apsaras should be able to escape from this battle smoothly. After all, Gao Da doesn't have the ability to fly independently like Lancelot. "
So, after making a decision, Ray Mingkai pushed with both hands, and Lancelot, who was hidden in the canopy, turned over and fell from the canopy in a free fall.
Then, just as he was about to fall into the flood below, the light wing system that Lancelot had been hiding was instantly activated.
"Hum!"
The light wings were instantly activated.
The blazing energy storm instantly flushed away the water below, exposing the ground that had been submerged by the flood once again.
Then, in this increasingly intense energy storm, Lancelot's light wings flapped, and he turned into a white lightning bolt and rushed into the depths of the rainforest.
"Let's see what it is that could make Apsaras appear here."
