Xiao Ran's action was, of course, a provocative one. It was the kind of provocation that didn't seem to put the three mechs in his eyes at all, or even the joint fleet in his eyes.
This action immediately caused some fluctuations in the joint fleet. The three mechs that were targeted by the Midnight Gundam also seemed to want to attack. Everyone in the world who saw this scene was equally shocked. Everyone on the Archangel was also stunned after seeing the Midnight Gundam's action.
"Who the hell is piloting this silver mech? What the hell is he trying to do? How can he make such a provocative move when he's at an absolute disadvantage? " Kajali sat in the cockpit of the Crimson Assault, looking at the scene on the screen in astonishment. She shouted in disbelief. "The silver and gold mechs, and that black shapeshifting mech. There are so many mechs behind them. They're all Gundams. Where the hell did they come from?"
Kira, who was sitting in the Freedom Gundam, was silent as he listened to Kajali's words. Kajali didn't know who the person in the mech was, so how could he know? However, Kira didn't think that a person who could make such a provocative move on the battlefield would be the Xiao Ran in his memory.
He was also curious about these unknown mechs that came out of nowhere and appeared in Aube. Why did such a force appear in Aube after they left Aube? But what he didn't expect was that the silver Gundam was piloted by Xiao Ran. Although making such a provocative move was a little too pretentious, it was also deliberate on Xiao Ran's part.
Before leading the team to come into contact with the joint fleet, Xiao Ran didn't expect that the other party would have so many high-end mechs. Not to mention the participants, the five G-series derivatives of Project Aktaeon had all appeared, and there were even three more mechs of the second series, Crimson Plunder, Crimson Extinction, and Blue Calamity. Four of these eight mechs had surpassed the threshold of C + and reached B-, while Crimson Extinction had reached B-.
This unexpected armed force made Xiao Ran's initial plan to wear down the joint fleet become unrealistic. The other party's high-end mechs alone could contain most of the mechs on Xiao Ran's side, and it would be very difficult for the remaining MS to wear down the joint fleet.
Especially when the other party's four B-class mechs had one more mech than Xiao Ran's side. Even if Xiao Ran was confident that he could gain an advantage in a one-versus-two situation, there was no such thing as a one-versus-two situation in this kind of group battle. In the interspersed and coordinated battle, once one or two B-class mechs broke free from the entanglement, once the freed B-class mechs exploded, it would definitely bring some unnecessary losses to the team.
Even if the current MS team led by Xiao Ran still had some advantages in terms of high-end mechs, they could deal with Dark Assault, Emerald Storm, Blue Duel, Black Thunderbolt, and the five participants of the joint fleet. They still had extra strength to cooperate with Murasame's team to carry out harassment actions. However, the huge number of MS mechs in the joint fleet would also equalize or even overtake these advantages.
What Xiao Ran was really worried about was that the other party's four B-class mechs would target the mechs behind him. All the people in this team, including the participants, were currently at the highest level of power in Aube. Xiao Ran absolutely could not let them die here by wearing them down, especially when Aube's strength was relatively lacking at the moment.
The reason why Xiao Ran was so provocative was a change after the plan could not continue. The purpose was to completely figure out whether the specific combat power of these three new mechs had really reached the level of a true B-class. The difference between an excellent B-class pilot and a pilot who only piloted a B-class mech without a B-class mech was very big. If only the mech was B-class, then Xiao Ran was confident that he could get rid of these three mechs. However, if the mech pilots of these three mechs were also B-class, then Xiao Ran could only order everyone to retreat and think of other ways to reduce the combat power and numbers of the joint fleet.
Xiao Ran estimated that these three airframes should be equipped with nuclear energy engines with anti-neutron disruptors. This should be correct. The Midnight Gundam, on the other hand, was a new type of battery backpack that Aubrey had developed himself. Although its energy source was incomparable to the MS energy source from two years ago, the Midnight Gundam really could not reach that level in terms of energy consumption.
However, the Midnight Gundam had a special ability, which was to reflect light beams and turn the enemy's attack into its own attack. Just this alone gave Xiao Ran the possibility of piloting the Midnight Gundam to fight against the three B-class mechs. After all, the Yata no Kagami system could reflect even the positron cannons used on battleships, but the MS's attack could not reach the level of a battleship's positron cannons.
As for the three mechs, True Yellow Plunder, Crimson Outlaw, and Blue Calamity, Xiao Ran had to pay attention to the True Yellow Plunder, which had the highest charging ability and the ability to attack with both light beams and live ammunition. As for the Crimson Outlaw, although it had the ability to deflect light beams, it did not have the ability to attack with live ammunition other than close combat. On the other hand, the Blue Calamity, other than its shield and Gatling Gun, also had the most powerful firepower of the light beam type. Moreover, it did not have any close combat abilities, so it was easier to deal with them.
Based on this point, and with the support of Aslan, Mu, Aeschi, and the others behind him, even if the opponents were really three B-class pilots, Xiao Ran, who could be said to have reached the peak of B-class, was fully capable of protecting himself. Even if he could not win, he could still escape. Therefore, Xiao Ran did not feel any pressure to provoke them.
The Midnight Gundam's actions seemed to have angered the pilots of the three mechs. Meanwhile, the five G-class mechs of the Phantom Pain Unit remained silent and did not make any moves. Just as the Crimson Outlaw waved the double-sided scythe in its hand and began to charge towards the Midnight Gundam, a seemingly unfair battle began.
The speed at which the Crimson Outlaw flew towards the Midnight Gundam was somewhat out of Xiao Ran's expectations. However, in terms of explosive speed, this Crimson Outlaw seemed to be slightly faster than the Freedom Gundam. However, speed did not mean everything. This speed was nothing to Xiao Ran. Even Kira could deal with it calmly with the Crimson Outlaw. It was far from reaching a level where he could not react.
"Choosing to engage in close combat, huh?" Xiao Ran frowned slightly. He controlled the Midnight Gundam to suddenly pull back the moment the Crimson Outlaw charged over and swung its scythe. A flash of light could be seen, and the Crimson Outlaw's scythe swung out swept past the Midnight Gundam's feet. After the Midnight Gundam dodged the Crimson Outlaw's attack, it held the beam rifle in both hands and shot countless beams downwards at the same time.
Xiao Ran's reaction was not good, but the Crimson Outlaw's reaction was just as fast. The beam energy deflection armor on both sides stood up at the same time, forming a field that completely deflected the Midnight Gundam's attack. All the beams flew into the sea after forming a zone. In the next moment, the Midnight Gundam's knee moved forward and directly hit the Crimson Outlaw's head. The huge force directly broke one of the horns on the Crimson Outlaw's head. At the same time, countless sparks flew out, and the Crimson Outlaw's head was deflected. The body of the Crimson Outlaw also showed signs of temporary loss of control.
The Midnight Gundam, which had achieved this step and gained the upper hand in the first round, did not show any mercy and continued to attack. The Type 73F high-energy beam cannons on both sides of its waist instantly popped out, and two beams once again attacked the Crimson Outlaw. However, just like before, they went around the front of the Crimson Outlaw and were completely blocked by the beam deflection armor.
In just one round of confrontation, although Xiao Ran could not determine the true level of this pilot, he could see that the other party's reaction was not bad. Facing his attack, the other party could be considered to be relatively calm. However, the pilot's experience seemed to be somewhat lacking. Otherwise, after the Midnight Gundam dodged the first attack of the Crimson Outlaw, the pilot would have dodged or flipped his backpack over it. However, to be able to operate the beam deflection armor to defend himself while temporarily losing control of the body was enough to show that the pilot's ability was not bad.
At this point, Xiao Ran could also see that if his body wanted to break through the Crimson Outlaw, it would really take a lot of time and effort. The Crimson Outlaw had both the PS armor and the beam deflection armor, so if he wanted to hit the opponent and cause a result, it was necessary. And the Crimson Outlaw's imbalance was such a good opportunity.
In the short moment before the Crimson Outlaw regained its balance, a black and yellow body flew towards the Midnight Gundam, accompanied by four red electromagnetic beams that flew from even further away. The four beams were fired by the Blue Calamity, and its purpose was probably to stop the Midnight Gundam from continuing its pursuit. It accurately bypassed the Yellow Plunder and appeared in front of the Midnight Gundam in the blink of an eye.
If Xiao Ran wanted to dodge, these four beams would not be able to hit the Midnight Gundam. However, when he saw the Yellow Plunder that had transformed back into its MS form after a high-speed dash and threw a meteor hammer in his direction, a disdainful smile appeared on Xiao Ran's face. Under the astonished gazes of countless people, he did not retreat but instead directly opened his arms to welcome the four beams fired by the Blue Calamity.
