With the Gundam destroyed, the pressure on the fighter formation and Skeleton Squad was reduced by more than 20%. Currently, the only remaining C-grade mech was Torusky, which was being held back. Among the remaining C-grade mechs, Leo, Duras, Jim, and Zagu, none of them had the ability to compete with the speed of the VF series fighters. Without the suppressive firepower of the Gundam and the Gundam alloy W, which had an extremely high defense against light beams and live ammunition, the enemy began to suffer losses.
Without the Gundam, the participants had lost their most important link in the battle. It was only natural for them to suffer losses. This was also the result that Xiao Ran wanted to achieve after analyzing the situation. The other link was Torusky, who was currently being held back by Ozma and Brera.
Xiao Ran had also set his sights on Torusky. Previously, when Torusky fired that cannon, Xiao Ran was almost killed by three consecutive shots. However, it was thanks to the precise coordination of the opponent's team that Xiao Ran had a new perspective on this team.
Perhaps Xiao Ran might have a chance of winning if there were four D-grade mechs piloted by four D-grade mechs. However, if there were four C-grade mechs piloted by a qualified pilot, Xiao Ran would have no chance of winning no matter what. It was more likely that the Sacred Lightning Shield would be destroyed while the opponents would be unharmed. After all, he was not Kira. He did not have such strong abilities.
In the previous battle, Torusky was held back by Ozma and Brera, who had the best piloting skills in the fighter formation. This gave the Sacred Lightning Shield a chance to fight one-on-one with the Gundam. However, what if the Skeleton Squad did not exist?
A normal fighter formation was no match for these two mechs. Furthermore, Torusky and the Gundam were supported by Leo and Duras, as well as other participants. Without the Skeleton Squad, the VF-17 fighter formation would definitely be suppressed. Even if Xiao Ran joined the battle, it would still be the same. He was already busy enough dealing with Torusky. How would he have the time to deal with the other MS-grade mechs?
However, there were no ifs. The Heavy Artillery Gundam had also been destroyed. Xiao Ran drove the Sacred Lightning Shield towards Torusky. Although the High Energy Beam Cannons and Beam Guns were firing non-stop, not a single beam could hit the high-speed Torusky. Xiao Ran was very clear on this. With Torusky's speed, even if he used [Quick Lock], Torusky would still be able to dodge the beam in the next second.
Torusky's pilots were also in the same situation. Regardless of whether they were attacking VF-25 or the Sacred Lightning Shield, they would all be dodged. It would be more accurate to say that they were dodging each other's attacks. When I shoot you, you dodge. In any case, Torusky's original goal was to delay the fighter formation, so it didn't matter if he wasted some time.
However, the situation had changed. Although Torusky and the other participants from the Galaxy Faction had indeed completed their initial goal, they were unable to deal with the overwhelming number of troops from the Fleet Squad and the Zerg Faction. Apart from the fighters that were currently fighting against them, all of the other participants had entered Gaule 4 and started searching for the five small landing ships that had entered Gaule 4. At this moment, three of the landing ships had already been discovered and intercepted in the air. The other two landing ships had also been discovered by the Fleet Squad and the Zerg Faction, and were already in a state of battle.
The vanguard fleet carrying the large reactive warheads was currently rushing towards the landing ships. Within a minute, dozens of large reactive warheads would be spread throughout the entire region where the five landing ships were located.
Currently, the participants from the Galaxy Faction, led by Torusky's pilots, no longer wanted to delay any longer. Instead, they wanted to enter Gaule 4 and quickly activate the dimensional devourer before retreating. However, the key point was that Xiao Jiran would not let them off so easily.
Looking at the messages flashing across the communication screen, Xiao Jiran felt much more relieved. Focusing his attention, he increased his speed and rushed towards Torusky. When he was close enough to Torusky, he transformed into his MS form. Beam blades popped out from both of his arms and blocked Torusky's path.
Upon seeing the Sacred Lightning Shield appear in front of him, Torusky's pilot raised his hand and fired a cannon. At the same time, he also pulled out his beam blade and rushed towards the Sacred Lightning Shield.
When the beam was deflected by the energy deflection armor, Torusky rushed towards the Sacred Lightning Shield and swung his right hand down. The Sacred Lightning Shield raised his left arm and blocked Torusky's beam blade. With a wave of his right hand, the Sacred Lightning Shield slashed towards Torusky. However, Torusky's reaction was extremely quick. The thrusters on its back lit up, and the mech immediately shot forward, dodging the Sacred Lightning Shield's attack. Following which, it kicked the Sacred Lightning Shield's head. Just as it was about to switch from its beam blade to its beam cannon and attack the Sacred Lightning Shield, the two VF-25 fighter jets appeared once again. Two streaks of fire appeared, forcing Torusky to retreat once again.
"Tsk." Xiao Jiran felt his mech vibrate and gave a light snort. With a push of the control lever and a stomp of his feet, he chased after Torusky. The two mechs clashed back and forth on the battlefield with their beam blades, causing countless sparks and dazzling trails to appear.
Right at this moment. All of a sudden, dozens of gigantic light explosions appeared on the shadowy side of Gaule 4. A dense swarm of bugs and fighter jets flew out from Gaule 4 and into space. At this moment, a voice rang out in Xiao Jiran's ears once again. "Currently, there's only one dimensional devourer left in the opposing faction?" Xiao Jiran immediately frowned. On the screen of the cockpit, Torusky had also turned around, seemingly wanting to leave the battle.
Ozma's voice transmitted over. "The five small landing ships have all been destroyed. The enemy has begun to retreat."
Xiao Jiran did not chase after Torusky. Instead, he controlled his mech to turn around and look at all the mechs in the Galaxy faction. His eyes were wide open as he scanned the mechs one by one. Suddenly, a mech with a backpack behind it suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Jiran's eyes. Instantly, Xiao Jiran had a bad premonition. "Backpack Jim?"
"No! No! Order all troops to stop the mech with the backpack at all costs! " Xiao Jiran had already activated Mental Outburst. He directly manipulated his mech and charged towards the mech. The high-energy beam cannon and the continuous beam gun fired beams at the mech.
However, the mech that was previously inconspicuous now displayed astonishing maneuverability. It calmly dodged the beam shots behind it and did not panic in the slightest when faced with the attacks of several VF-17 fighter jets. It raised its right hand and fired a beam from the beam gun. With a turn, it flashed past the top of a fighter jet and created a fireball. Xiao Jiran's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He stomped his foot to the ground and pushed his left hand to the limit. However, he could not increase the speed of the Sacred Lightning Shield any further.
Although the Jim mech was agile, under the obstruction and attacks of countless mechs, it was unable to advance too far. Instead, it would retreat from time to time. In contrast, the Sacred Lightning Shield, which had no obstructions and was gradually increasing in speed, quickly closed in.
Under the state of Spirit Eruption, all of Xiao Ran's senses seemed to have slowed down. All of Jim's actions were trained into a straight line in Xiao Ran's mind. His eyes were firmly fixed on Jim who was carrying a backpack.
The tactical backpack on the Sacred Lightning Shield's back had been removed at some point. It held the high-energy beam cannon in its left hand and the tactical compound armament in its right hand. The two continuous beam guns were also placed horizontally. The Siren Phase Energy Cannon on its chest flashed with light.
"Quick lock … fire!" After the five locking frames firmly locked onto the Jim, the light in Xiao Jiran's eyes became even more dazzling. After slightly adjusting the muzzle of his weapon, four beams and a flaming serpent of different colors were fired at the Jim at the same time. The Jim tried to dodge the attack of the Sacred Lightning Shield, but as soon as it turned sideways, a huge red energy beam completely sealed off this direction. In the next instant, three beams and a dense flaming serpent struck the head, hands, and waist of the Jim one after another. Bullet holes appeared on the Jim's backpack, instantly turning it into a fireball and shattering it into pieces.
Xiao Jiran did not hear the sound he wanted to hear. His eyes that were shining brightly suddenly bulged. "No! Where is it?! "
His head and eyes quickly scanned the screen. He once again discovered that the four MS fighters were actually rushing in the direction of Gaule No. 4. Without the fighter jets blocking them, they had flown far away.
"Shit!" Xiao Jiran was shocked. Suddenly, he saw hundreds of beams and electromagnetic energy cannons flying in from the direction of Gaule No. 4. In an instant, the four MS fighters that were flying in the direction of Gaule No. 4 turned into four balls of sparks.
"Current number of dimensional devourers remaining in the opposing faction. Main mission 2 completed. You have received 10,000 battle achievement points."
"Main mission 3 activated. Lead the 25th fleet to the Vajra mother planet and settle the matter with the Vajra mother planet. Mission success will result in a reward of 5,000 battle achievement points. Mission failure will result in a deduction of 10000 battle achievement points."
"Huff … huff … huff …" Xiao Jiran panted heavily. The sound in his ears made him feel relaxed, and he slumped into his chair. After taking off his helmet with great effort, he discovered that his hair was completely soaked. Droplets of sweat were floating in the middle of the cockpit along with his head.
"Thanks." Xiao Jiran looked at the bug fleet and the Vajra faction fighters that appeared on the screen, revealing a tired smile.
"A mission worth 3,000 battle achievement points. No matter what, we have to complete it. What do you think?"
Stirling's laughter rang in Xiao Jiran's ears. (To be continued.)
