"Three combat mechs, against a mech like the Sacred Lightning Shield that can charge forward at high speed and suppress the enemy with waves of firepower, not to mention that even if we're both C-grade pilots, I'm far stronger than you both in terms of mech and physical strength. I can only say that you've picked the wrong enemy."
Xiao Ran muttered silently in his heart as he looked at the tragic state of the three mechs on the screen. However, Xiao Ran did not continue to attack the three mechs. He guessed that the person piloting the golden heresy must be Aube's God of Shadow, Lund Mina Sahak.
Mina may have appeared here for revenge, or she may have appeared here on her own initiative to prevent Aube from suffering more losses. Although Mina had her own thoughts, her heart for Aube was no different from that of Kajali. It was just that the two of them had chosen different paths, but their goal was to make Aube stronger.
Moreover, the evacuated people also needed Mina and her Pillar of Heaven's Defence to protect them. The retreating army of Aube needed Mina to receive them. Without Ashar's representative, Aube, who had self-destructed the Twilight Codex and the mass accelerator, also needed Mina to preside over the overall situation. Once the Earth Corps occupied Aube, Mina's Pillar of Heaven's Defence would become the last territory of Aube, and also the greatest help in the recovery of Aube's homeland.
So no matter what the reason was, Xiao Ran did not need to continue attacking Mina. He just watched as Mina on the screen grabbed the damaged sword-type Calamity and rushed into the sea to look for another one that was shot down.
In the distance, two mechs flew over from the main island and blocked the path of the Earth Corps' MS that had rushed to Aube's coastline because Graham, Nalor, and Blackhawk were busy dealing with the three Gundams. Among the two mechs, the blue and white mech directly dyed the entire sky in a variety of colors as soon as it appeared. Its firepower was far more powerful than that of the Sacred Lightning Shield. It could at least fire hundreds of times in a minute, and the Sacred Lightning Shield could not compare to it at all.
Compared to the Sacred Lightning Shield, even if the Sacred Lightning Shield had undergone many modifications and was supplied with nuclear energy and GN solar furnace as a dual energy source, Xiao Ran could not achieve Kira's extremely accurate lock-on. Especially in terms of speed, unless Xiao Ran continuously used rapid lock-on skills to increase his accuracy, but that would consume a lot of his Spirit.
However, in terms of lock-on speed, Xiao Ran was under the influence of his Spirit Burst and bloodline ability. However, he could still keep up with Kira's speed. It was just that he could not be as fast as Kira and ensure that his attacks would not hit the target's vital points. Xiao Ran could not do that. The reason why he used rapid lock-on was entirely because of the special effect brought about by rapid lock-on. In one second, all the weapons could be individually locked on. This effect was very useful in many cases.
Moreover, the Freedom Gundam's colorful cannons almost did not need to be recharged. They could fire one shot after another as long as they did not let the weapons explode due to the high temperature. Moreover, the attack power was very strong.
However, the Sacred Lightning Shield was different. The most powerful Siren's Multiple Position Energy Cannon needed to be recharged, and the beam energy cannon in his hand had a time interval between each shot. On the other hand, the GN-BIT's power was uneven. Although the firing speed was fast, there was also a time interval between each shot, and it also needed to be recharged. Moreover, it could not be used in a recharged state.
Only the nine Sparrow Screen Shattering Crossbows on the shield were fast enough. However, other than the main firing port, the attack power of the secondary firing ports was only the attack power of an ordinary beam rifle. Compared to the firepower of the Freedom Gundam, it was still much weaker.
Moreover, Kira could drive the Freedom Gundam to throw away the shield in one second, draw the Beam Blade to cut down three Mechs, pick up the shield again, and fly away. This was something that Xiao Ran could not do. Even if his bloodline and Spirit Burst were activated.
Perhaps with the current Sacred Lightning Shield, with all the weapons working together, and Xiao Ran's rapid lock-on, it could cause the same damage as the Freedom Gundam in a short period of time. However, if it really exploded like this once … Xiao Ran could also directly take the Sacred Lightning Shield and leave the battlefield. He could only rejoin the battle when his spirit recovered. However, Kira did not have these concerns at all. Once, twice. Three times, four times, five times, six times. The explosion did not consume any energy at all.
Xiao Ran sat in the cockpit. He did not look at where the attacks came from. He just blindly dodged all kinds of attacks. He only raised the shield in his hand and the Beam Cannon to counterattack. He calmly looked at the flames of the Freedom Gundam on the screen. In his heart, he was also thinking about when he could have the same ability as Kira.
While Xiao Ran was looking at the Freedom Gundam, he was already standing in the front line. Although Kira's eyes seemed dull, he was also looking in the direction of the Sacred Lightning Shield on the screen with a surprised expression. The wreckage floating on the sea, the burning warships, the rapidly retreating lifeboats, and the MS that exploded from time to time near the Sacred Lightning Shield.
Looking at all this, Kira could not help but smile and mutter to himself, "Teacher … I knew it. With the speed of your growth, you will grow to the point where you won't need my help on the battlefield one day."
In Kira's heart, Xiao Ran was a very powerful, gentle, and confident person. He was also a good person who would do everything for his students, friends, and loved ones. He was a person who was most trustworthy like Lax. However, the key was that he was not very good in one aspect. He was too confident. In fact, his piloting skills were terrible, but he insisted on piloting the MS into battle.
Little did he know that every time Xiao Ran participated in a battle, Kira was always on tenterhooks. He had to pay at least one-third of his attention to Xiao Ran. It was precisely because of this that he blocked several attacks for Xiao Ran in the battle. He also interfered with the enemies who wanted to shoot at Xiao Ran many times.
Xiao Ran was almost killed in the desert that time, but it really made Kira burst out with terrifying anger. In the battle with Zaft, he even killed a lot of people. If Law had not blocked Kira's last attack in the desert, I'm afraid that the Desert Tiger would never have appeared in this world.
Of course, Xiao Ran himself also knew that at that time, he was just a burden to Kira. He was just there to complete the mission. However, the current Xiao Ran was already at the top of the C-grade pilots. Under the influence of Spirit Burst and Bloodline, he even had the basic attributes of a B-grade pilot. Even if he encountered the B-grade reborn Gundam in this world before, he could still drive the Sacred Lightning Shield alone to kill that body.
However, against a super ace like Kira, fighting above his level was nothing more than a beautiful fantasy in his dreams.
Following the Freedom Gundam was the improved Thunderbolt Gundam with the ability to fly. Now the Thunderbolt Gundam had been reinstalled with the Mirage System, and it also had considerable attack capabilities at medium and long distances. Negor, who was originally a ZAFT Red Coat, now drove the Thunderbolt Gundam. It was not too difficult for him to deal with the MS that entered the coastline. Moreover, after the first line of defense, there was still Aube's MS and tanks as the main force. Together with the Freedom Gundam, the Earth Army could not even break through the first line of defense.
Hearing the prompt that the GN-BIT had finished charging, Xiao Ran's mouth also curved into a smile. He drove the Sacred Lightning Shield directly into the sky, took a deep breath, and pressed a few buttons.
"Continuous lock mode activated, all GN-BITS are changed to continuous shooting mode." Looking at the changed settings, Xiao Ran smiled slightly. "Let's start, then let's start with this … Quick lock!"
On the screen of the Sacred Lightning Shield, on the radar, red boxes that were locked on appeared one after another. All the weapons of the Sacred Lightning Shield began to roar again. The beam energy cannon on its right hand was directly replaced by the tactical composite armament on its back. Under the turret form, it instantly shot out an endless stream of light beams and live bullets, starting to strafe one target after another. The GN-BIT and the shield shot out beams one after another. In a short period of time, countless beams shot down from the sky, covering the heads of the MS troops like raindrops.
The raindrops formed by the beams represented death, and the Sacred Lightning Shield became the shadow above the heads of these MS troops. The Freedom Gundam fired colorful cannons in front of the line of defense, while the Sacred Lightning Shield fired dense death beams in the sky like raindrops. Immediately, the most important part of Aube's line of defense was directly bombarded into a place full of potholes.
…
The defensive battle of Aube only lasted for an hour before the MS troops sent out a retreat signal flare. When the MS troops began to retreat, Aube's defense troops also stopped what they were doing, allowing the MS troops to start retreating. In the command center of the Ministry of Defense, there was a burst of fierce cheers.
However, contrary to these cheers, there was a heavy expression on Ashar's face. This battle was similar to a contact battle. Under the assault of the four mecha, including Xiao Ran and the Sacred Lightning Shield, the MS troops were caught off guard by the huge interference of GN particles. Before the battle started, they had lost almost half of their combat power. After the battle started, the ace mecha, including Xiao Ran, held back most of the remaining half of their combat power. This was how Aube's final victory was secured.
However, this victory also meant that Aube would definitely fail in the next battle. In the next battle, the MS troops would definitely send out more of their true main forces, such as the three new models of Gundams, to hold back the Sacred Lightning Shield, the Freedom Gundam, and the other mecha. They would also make more preparations and send out more MS troops and other troops to carry out joint attacks. In this way, even if they could win again, the line of defense would definitely be broken through, and it would also cause great damage and destruction to the cities in Aube's country.
