Where did the large and small gravel belts of different shapes come from? How did they appear?
Real Flying Bird wasn't too sure.
Even when she compared the interstellar route map carried by the Minerva, she still couldn't figure out where the gravel belt that suddenly appeared before her eyes came from.
However, Real Flying Bird knew that the gravel belt that suddenly appeared was the only enemy that the Minerva could escape from — a chance for them to escape the pursuit of those ferocious and terrifying monsters that brandished their tentacles and could even use their sharp and hard tentacles to break the Earth Alliance's active space warship, the Agamemnon class mothership, in one hit.
"Real! Focus! Luna Maria is now in a sniper position. Our mission is to stall for time as much as possible. "
Just as Real Flying Bird's consciousness was somewhat scattered, the voice of her good friend and comrade, Reza Barel, sounded in a timely manner.
"Understood!"
Real Flying Bird heard this and took a deep breath in an attempt to focus her mind that was a little fatigued from the long battle.
On the entire Minerva, the people who faced the most pressure were probably the MS pilots.
In the week of pursuit, facing the attacks of numerous and strange monsters of unknown origins, the MS pilots onboard the Minerva had greatly declined from their full strength until they accidentally rushed into the gravel belt that suddenly appeared. The MS pilots onboard the Minerva were only left with Real Flying Bird, Reza Barel, and Luna Maria Hawk.
The other two Zagu Warrior squads had already become scattered wreckage on the Minerva's escape route.
"Real, Rei, there's a situation on the radar! Distance 1300. According to the heat pattern comparison, it's very likely to be the monsters that have been chasing after the Minerva! "
Immediately after, the Zagu Warrior equipped with long-range artillery equipment, which was the mech piloted by Luna Maria, transmitted the situation outside the gravel belt.
"Numbers?"
The white Zagu phantom poked its head out from the shadow of a large gravel and looked in the direction where Luna Maria had discovered the anomaly.
As Rei's nimble fingers danced on the keyboard, the white Zagu phantom's electronic eyes that were constantly adjusting its focus finally caught the monsters that were rapidly approaching the gravel belt.
"It's those monsters! They've really caught up. "
When he heard the voice of Real Flying Bird, Ray took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,
"Mm, get ready! Before the mechanism is activated, you must be steady! "
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
According to the painful experience accumulated from the previous bloody battles, the group of monsters would not send out any scouts. They would only throw all their forces into the battle when they discovered the enemy, wiping out the enemy with their absolute advantage in numbers.
Although this was the most brainless tactic among all the tactical concepts that Real Flying Bird and Ray had learned in the military academy, it also happened to reflect the horror of this group of monsters who could easily eliminate the Earth's joint fleet.
"Zhen, Lei, you are here! Distance 1000! "
As the monsters outside the asteroid belt approached, the atmosphere became more and more tense.
Especially as the sun gradually emerged from behind the earth and scattered its dazzling radiance over the asteroid belt, Zhen, Rem, and Luna Maria saw enemies filling up the radar screen in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, not only did the radar screen turn blood-red, but the enemy's figure also occupied the screen in front of the three of them.
They were densely packed.
As far as the eye could see.
With just a glance, they could already tell that there were no less than a thousand of them.
"Calm down!"
The three of them were fighting against nearly a thousand enemies.
Such a huge disparity made the three of them who had experienced several bloody battles and witnessed the sacrifice of their teammates all the way to the asteroid belt couldn't help but tremble.
This was the instinctive manifestation of the source creature's fear of death.
Ray used his left hand to press down on his trembling right hand and tried to encourage his teammates with a calm tone.
"Yes! Calm down! "
Real Flying Bird's hands were the same.
They couldn't stop trembling.
However, in his heart, he wanted to rush up and start a bloody battle with the monsters.
"Distance … 80 … Wait! The enemy has made a new move!! "
Luna Maria's voice was trembling.
But in the next second, Luna Maria's voice was panicked.
"Enemy … That … How did the number of monsters … How did it suddenly increase!!"
"What?!"
Zhen and Lei took a closer look and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
They saw that the monster with sharp horns waving its tentacles actually released smaller, pale monsters that either waved their tentacles or had ferocious eyes. Like flies that smelled a stench, they swarmed into the asteroid belt where the three of them were hiding.
"We've been discovered?!"
Ray suddenly thought so in his heart.
In addition, the instinct to turn around and escape followed closely, as well as the determination to sacrifice themselves in order to protect the Minerva.
"No! We haven't been discovered! The monsters are gnawing on the rocks!! "
Real Flying Bird shouted, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face. His right hand kept pressing on the control panel, using the body he was piloting — Pulse Gao Da's electronic eyes to record the unexpected actions of the monsters.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, the three of them who were nervous, scared, and even had the fire of realization ignited, suddenly felt strange and even a trace of absurdity.
"They … They're hungry?"
Luna Maria bit her lips and said with some uncertainty.
"No, we know too little about them. The only thing we know is that we have to get rid of their pursuit. "
After being surprised, Ray felt a more dignified pressure.
As more and more of the smaller, odd-looking monsters were released, the space where the three-man team was hiding was also shrinking as the monsters gnawed at the gravel belt.
"Luna Maria, don't wait for the monsters to completely enter the asteroid belt! As long as enough large monsters enter the asteroid belt, immediately detonate the bomb! "
After Ray quickly gave the order, he looked at Pulse Gao Da hiding behind the asteroid belt on the other side.
"Real! Get ready! This may be our last battle! "
Hearing this, Real Flying Bird nodded heavily, but didn't say anything.
Even if Real Flying Bird had a lot to say in her mind, she didn't know where to say those words now.
"Distance 500! Opportunity! Detonate! "
Just as the small monsters gnawed a hole in the asteroid belt, Luna Maria decisively activated the bomb that was set in advance outside the asteroid belt.
"Boom!!"
At this moment, countless dazzling brilliance rose in front of the three of them.
The light was so strong that even the sun in the distance lost its brief radiance. All that was left were the small monsters that were engulfed in eating the rubble and were swept into the Yellow Springs by the explosion, as well as the large monsters that had just entered the rubble. They twisted and struggled in the explosion.
Looking at the constantly twisting and struggling figure in the dazzling brilliance, Real Flying Bird seemed to hear the monster's wail in the explosion.
"Good job! Luna Maria. "
The wail that emerged in her mind didn't make Real Flying Bird feel fear, instead, it made her feel a trace of carefree!
A trace of carefreeness that came from revenge!
This was revenge based on witnessing the tragic death of her teammates under the siege of the monsters, while she could only escape in a sorry state!
"Real! Action begins! Don't get entangled by those small monsters! Luna Maria, hide yourself well and find a chance to kill those big monsters! "
Ray's action was very fast.
Before the brilliance of the explosion had completely faded, his white Zagu phantom launched the first wave of attack by relying on the surrounding rubble.
While the white Zagu phantom was flying rapidly, it first threw a smoke bomb to the other side of the asteroid belt.
“BOOM！”
The smoke bomb exploded with sparks and instantly attracted the attention of the small monsters that were nibbling at the asteroid belt. The white Zagu phantom rushed out from the other side and used the beam assault rifle in its hand to shoot three consecutive shots to blow up the rubble at the feet of the small monsters on the spot.
"Real! Now! "
First the smoke bomb, then the rapid attack. The white Zagu phantom that successfully wiped out a group of small monsters on the spot finally attracted the attention of more monsters.
Looking at the monsters that were slowly turning toward his position, Ray sent out a signal loudly.
"Roger!"
In the smoke that hadn't dissipated yet, Pulse Gao Da equipped with the air combat backpack rushed out like lightning. Taking advantage of the moment when most of the monsters' attention was attracted by the white Zagu phantom, he rushed into the group of large monsters that were releasing small monsters in one breath.
"Buzz!"
Pulse Gao Da's beam assault rifle fired three consecutive shots and hit the nearest large monster one after another.
The first shot, without any accident, hit the sharp angle that could easily break the Agamemon-class mothership.
The enemy was unscathed.
The second shot, accurately hit the gap between the sharp angle and the bulging sarcoma.
A faint black circle appeared.
The third shot, extremely fast Pulse Gao Da, the moment the large monster brushed past him, he suddenly turned around and shot at the end of the monster's body.
This time, it was a hole that emitted faint smoke.
It pierced through!
In the blink of an eye, Real Flying Bird had found the weak points of these large monsters that could break the Agamemon-class Mothership with a single blow.
But it was already too late.
If they could find it earlier, the Minerva wouldn't have to flee now. The MS team on board wouldn't only be Real Flying Bird, Reza Barel, and Luna Maria Hawk.
Real Flying Bird, who succeeded, was not satisfied. Instead, he cautiously adopted the strategy of quickly retreating and increasing the distance between him and the enemy.
"Hum!"
In the void, a dazzling beam of light appeared and swept across the back of Pulse Gao Da, breaking more than ten tentacles that attempted to attack Pulse Gao Da on the spot.
"Real! Be careful! "
It was Luna Maria!
Her artillery Zagu Warrior finally began to show its power after the white Zagu phantom and Pulse Gao Da attracted the enemy's attention.
"Luna Maria! Be careful to hide! "
Under Luna Maria's cover, Pulse Gao Da smoothly converged with the Zagu phantom.
"Lei! Our speculation was not wrong. "
After the aerial combat type Pulse Gundam shot out several beams of light and killed the last batch of small monsters, Real Flying Bird slowly exhaled and said.
"Mhmm. Retreat to the second line of defense! "
The first line of defense was to use the gravel blockade laid by bombs to delay the monster's pursuit and try to find the monster's weakness.
This had already been achieved.
Then, it was time to retreat to the second line of defense, which was near Luna Maria's position.
"Real, Lei, I'll cover you!"
Amidst the asteroid belt, beams of light appeared one after another, piercing through the large monsters that were chasing after the Pulse Gundam.
In the silent vacuum,
In this gravel belt full of gravel, flesh and blood, the large monsters that were penetrated by Zagu Warrior silently crashed into the surrounding gravel.
Hard sharp angles,
Flesh and blood flying at high speed,
Instantly became the medium that triggered the gravel belt's agitation!
"Not good! Retreat! "
Lei Yi saw the monsters that lost their lives, but did not slow down. They knocked the surrounding gravel and triggered a chain impact reaction, and immediately warned loudly.
However, Zagu Warrior, who was slightly slower, was dragged down by the heavy high-energy beam cannon, so it was slower by a beat.
The gravel that was knocked away crazily hit everything around it.
Whether it was the gravel that had been peaceful before, or the monster's corpse that had already died, they were all affected by this wave of chain impact.
In this chain impact, a gravel with a visual diameter of at least tens of meters appeared on top of Zagu Warrior's head.
The moment the huge shadow shrouded, it was Luna Maria's desperate face.
The gravel attack was too fast, and the excellent Zagu Warrior, whose maneuverability was far less than Pulse Gao Da, had almost no way to escape.
"Luna Maria!!"
Zhen and Lei's eyes widened, and their hands moved quickly to drive the Zagu Warrior at the fastest speed, trying to rescue her before the gravel smashed Zagu Warrior.
However, whether it was Pulse Gao Da, or Zagu's phantom, they couldn't appear beside Zagu Warrior in time to rescue her.
What's more, around the two, there were already other monsters that appeared, blocking them from rescuing Luna Maria.
"Buzz!"
Zhen and Lei were doing their best to rescue her, and Luna Maria wasn't an ordinary woman who would sit and wait for death.
When the Minerva was being chased by monsters, Luna Maria had seen death, and had come in close contact with death. Therefore, she definitely wouldn't allow herself to die on the battlefield like this.
She definitely wouldn't die like this!
The high-energy beam cannon's attack hit the gravel one after another, but it couldn't shatter it in the roar of the explosion.
"How can this be!! Impossible! "
In front of her was the last high-energy beam cannon's ammunition, and Luna Maria couldn't accept that the high-energy beam cannon that could penetrate the battleship's armor in a few hits actually returned without any results.
"Buzz!"
The last round of ammunition was fired, setting off a violent explosion.
In the rumbling explosion, Luna Maria saw countless gravel flying out.
"It shattered!"
Before the surprise could rise, a sharp shadow impressively tore apart the explosion, and directly pounced on Zagu Warrior.
It was actually that large monster!!
The reason why the high-energy beam cannon couldn't shatter the gravel was because the gravel was actually a large monster in disguise!
The monster's attack speed was extremely fast!
It was so fast that even Zhen and Rei didn't have time to react, and it had already rushed to the front of the Zagu Warrior.
The sharp horn that could break the Agamemnon class mothership seemed to be able to stab Luna Maria's eyes.
"Is this the end?"
Since the Minerva rescued D.S.S.D, Luna Maria, who had been in a bloody battle until now and witnessed the death of her comrades, calmed down at this moment.
"Zhen, Rei, help me tell Meiling, let her be …"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
In an instant, an unfamiliar voice interrupted the trio's communication channel.
At the same time, the sharp horn that should have penetrated the Zagu Warrior didn't pierce the cockpit.
Because …
At this moment …
At the moment when Luna Maria was about to be pierced by the sharp horn, a pair of steel wings impressively appeared in front of her.
No!
Before Luna Maria could react, the pair of steel wings disintegrated, turning into "fragments" that flew into the gravel belt. Only a few inexplicable colorful lights were left behind. She could barely make out a huge black shadow with a human silhouette.
"Aldnoah Reactor output normal!"
"Dimensional Screen unfolded normal!"
"Armed Wings distribution program normal! It has entered the predetermined position! Monitoring program, start! "
In the darkness, Ray Mingkai's voice slowly sounded.
The moment when the image from the outside appeared in front of Ray Mingkai again, it was the moment when Lancelot · King's Sword raised his hand and "swallowed" the large monster with sharp horns.
