Facing the Federation Army that was defending the fortress, directly ordering the army to break through was a very inappropriate approach. Even with the Milky Way Songstress leading the way, and the Justice Gundam, Vicious Bird, and other airframes as the vanguard, it was inevitable that they would pay a great price to break through the Federation Army's defensive line.
The reason why Xiao Ran waited so long before truly starting the attack on the Federation army was because he didn't want to suffer too many losses in a battle with the Federation army. It didn't matter if these losses were on his side or on the side of the Federation that was bound to lose. After all, once they won a battle, the Federation's losses would also become his. That was why Xiao Ran waited until the Phantom Heresy, which was specially used for special operations, went offline before starting the operation.
The space fortress and the Federation army's fleets in front of them ignored their orders to surrender. Xiao Ran wasn't surprised. Apart from the beginning of this month, there were quite a number of people who directly switched sides. However, towards the end, when the patrolling fleets of the Federation army and the Unified army clashed, even if these fleets had the intention of surrendering, they would still fight with all their might until there was no chance of victory. Only then would they signal to surrender and wait for the Unified army to take over. This caused more casualties for no reason. Although Xiao Ran hated this, he could understand their thinking.
Fighting was their duty, their belief, and their honor as soldiers. Surrendering was a choice, and choosing to live was also choosing a new future. After failing to fulfill their duty, making a new choice could be considered as not letting down the Federation's nurturing of them. It could also be considered as extinguishing the last of the obsession in their hearts.
But understanding was one thing. Xiao Ran found it hard to truly understand why these people would do this. This was because Xiao Ran was never a real soldier. He didn't have the sense of honor that belonged to a soldier. He was just a commoner who mysteriously ran to Prometheus and maintained his own way of thinking. A commoner who used his own power to cause harm to several worlds.
"Let's begin." Xiao Ran didn't even wear his combat suit. He just sat in the cockpit of the Justice Gundam and started it up. He looked at Mary on the screen and said, "After I attack, I'll launch the tactical armor. Also, there's no need to rush the fleet. Since the enemy chose to fight outside of our effective range, we'll be able to stop them. In that case, we'll cooperate with them and try our best to gather the forces near the stronghold to buy time and space for the Swift Shadow Heretics. "
"I understand." Marlene nodded and said, "After you attack, I'll tell you. I'll let the Milky Way Songstress start a long-range attack, but the effect may not be as good as you think. "
Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "That's not a problem. The main thing is to create opportunities for the Swift Shadow Heresy Team MS. There's no need to worry about the ammo consumption. The ammunition we brought this time is enough to go through a few bigger battles. We'll use high explosive and reactive rounds to cover the area and use the main cannon to start the battle. "
The screen in the cockpit showed the image of the universe. The Justice Gundam loosened its grip. The Justice Gundam sank and emitted a green light from its back. It slowly flew towards the front of the Galactic Songstress. Tactical Armor I also broke away from the back of the Milky Way Songstress and accelerated to catch up. It opened its mouth and wrapped the Justice Gundam without any mistake.
Following the appearance of the Justice Gundam, Ryukino's Camilla, Law's Red Dragon Gundam, Graham's Raptor, and Nalor's MK-II all appeared on both sides of the Milky Way Songstress. Unmanned aerial vehicles also ejected from the deck of the Milky Way Dancer and began to fly around the Milky Way Dancer.
The flagship of the entire Unified Army was the Milky Way Songstress. The orders issued by the Milky Way Songstress would be obeyed by the other Unified Army battleships. Under Mary's command, all the battleships spread out. The Unified Army's fleet was formed by the Federation's fleet and the new Gu Wenjun's fleet. Naturally, the same was true for the MS. There was the M1 Heresy. There was Jim, Zagu, Warrior, and also the latest Heresy Gundam. Moreover, it was a large group of Gundam units.
All the battleships also opened fire. They started shooting at each other outside the effective attack range of the Federation's fleet. The colorful lights looked beautiful, but in fact, it didn't affect either side much. To destroy a battleship outside the effective attack range, it really required a lot of luck. Even without any orders, the MS fighters were flying back and forth around the fleet, waiting for the command to launch an all-out attack.
At this moment, the thrusters behind the Milky Way Songstress suddenly exploded. It broke away from the fleet and rushed forward. Waves of missiles with white trails were ejected from the Milky Way Songstress. After drawing a long arc, they flew towards the Federation's attack. At the same time, all the secondary cannons on the Milky Way Songstress fired beams.
The effective attack range of all the attacks of the Milky Way Songstress far exceeded the battleships of this world, whether it was missiles or beams. When the Unified Army and the Federation's fleet were not in the effective attack range of the other party, the Federation's fleet, including the fortress at the rear, had long been in the attack range of the Milky Way Songstress.
Under such circumstances, wave after wave of missiles were continuously fired from the Milky Way Songstress. Each wave contained hundreds and thousands of missiles. The huge number of missiles flew towards the Federation's battleships at a speed faster than the MS.
When the Federation's defensive attack collided with the first wave of missiles, small fireballs exploded one after another, forming bigger and bigger fireballs in the middle between the Federation's fleet and the Unified Army's fleet. Countless missiles exploded and produced a dazzling light, causing everyone in the area to subconsciously tilt their heads slightly.
At the same time, many people widened their eyes in astonishment. Looking at the dazzling light produced by the missiles exploding, and looking at the abnormal huge energy reaction after the missiles exploded, they were horrified to find that most of these missiles were nuclear weapons that had been banned since the war a year ago.
Just the first wave of missiles was already of such a degree, instantly shocking the commander of the Federation's fleet. He watched in horror as the Milky Way Songstress fired more and more missiles like they didn't cost money. He hurriedly issued the order to intercept the missiles with all his might.
One missile, two missiles, ten missiles, twenty missiles, one hundred missiles, two hundred missiles. Under the full firepower of the Federation's fleet, more and more missiles fired from the Milky Way Songstress were destroyed one by one. The light produced by the explosions illuminated the surroundings like it was daytime. More and more missiles were destroyed by the concentrated firepower of the Federation's fleet, but the white light produced by the explosions made the faces of the entire Federation's fleet even darker.
"How is that possible! How can there be so many small-yield nuclear warheads?! "
The supreme commander of the Federation's fortress defense still stared at the huge screen in front of him that had been turned black even under the dazzling light. The countless reaction missiles had already made the commander feel a little dizzy. Everyone knew how powerful a nuclear bomb was. Although the power in the universe was not as strong as on Earth, there was no chance of luck within the range of the explosion. Even an MS equipped with a Mi-scale nuclear furnace would cause a huge explosion when it exploded, let alone a nuclear bomb that was specially designed for explosions.
As long as a missile missed their current attack and flew over, any warship that was hit would be turned into a pile of scrap metal in an instant. The speed and scale of the missiles released by the Milky Way Songstress were completely unimaginable to the Federation's fleet.
However, the Federation's fleet had the advantage in numbers, and the concentrated attacks made the missiles unable to advance even an inch. After all, it was still a little difficult for the Milky Way Songstress to fully cover and deal a blow to the Federation's fleet. If it were ten Milky Way Songstress of the same class, the continuous waves of missiles would have already exploded into dazzling fireworks among the Federation's fleet.
But even so, among the terrifying waves of missiles fired by the Milky Way Songstress, there would always be some that slipped through the dense firepower blockade of the Federation's fleet and flew directly to the Federation's fleet. Once they exploded, they would cause considerable damage to the Federation's fleet.
Under the coverage of the missiles of the Milky Way Songstress and the beam attacks of the United Army's warships, a portion of the MS released by the United Army's fleet quietly disappeared into the universe, completely disappearing without a trace.
When the area between the United Army and the Federation's fleet was completely shrouded in white light, the Milky Way Songstress stopped firing missiles. Instead, it completed its transformation in a few seconds and raised the MACROSS cannon that had been activated. The moment the light formed by the explosion of countless missiles disappeared, three illusory light beams shot out with unparalleled power. They rotated and twisted together, creating ripples that seemed to tear the universe apart as they streaked directly towards the Federation's fleet.
"Go! Let me show you... "
"Stop!"
"Huh?!" The excited expression on Bobby's face suddenly froze, and he subconsciously pulled his hand back. The Milky Way Songstress, which was advancing at high speed, suddenly stopped, causing the people in the bridge to sway even more. If it weren't for something holding them in place, they would have all been thrown to the front of the bridge.
Mary repositioned herself with the armrest. Her chest was trembling from the shaking just now. After Mary pressed her chest with one hand and rubbed her head with the other, she helplessly said to Bobby, "Step back, Bobby. Moses has ordered the whole fleet to move forward. Some of them will make a feint attack, while the rest will take a protective stance towards the Milky Way Songstress. Bobby, you only need to install the Milky Way Songstress. Our warships don't have any more missiles, and the main cannon will take a long time to recharge.
