The moment the alarm sounded, Xiao Ran jumped out of his bed and dashed out of his room. This was not the first time Xiao Ran had come to the Minerva. Besides, Xiao Ran was personally welcomed and escorted to his room by the main crew members of the Minerva after he parked his mech on Gnacou. Therefore, he did not make a single mistake and arrived at Gnacou in the shortest time possible.
The sound of the alarm signified the start of the battle, and at the same time, the horn of war between the two sides had been blown. Although the two sides were not the main forces in this battle, the game involved was much more complicated than a head-on battle. They could win, but they could not win too quickly. They could not drag it out too long, but they could not drag it out too long. It was very difficult to deliberately weaken their presence in the overall battlefield environment.
Moreover, if the alliance's moon base appeared in the middle of the battle, the Minerva would have to take up the responsibility of intercepting the fleet that was sent to the second rendezvous point. In other words, if such a situation occurred, the Minerva would have to end the battle as soon as possible and rush to the other battlefield. It could be said that the 30% of the Minerva's forces were shouldering a lot of pressure.
When Xiao Ran arrived at Gnacou, Zhen, Rei, Luna Maria, and Heine had just boarded their mechs and were ready to attack. Now that the Minerva had been upgraded, Zhen had obtained the Gundam of Destiny that originally belonged to him. Rei had also boarded the successor of the Gundam of Divine Will, the legendary Gundam. Even Heine, whose fate of death had been changed by Xiao Ran, received his orange Gundam of Destiny and stayed on the Minerva. Luna Maria had become the pilot of the Pulse Gundam. When she saw that Xiao Ran was not wearing a formal combat suit but a rather luxurious Aube military uniform, she was stunned.
When Xiao Ran boarded the Justice Gundam, Zhen's voice rang in the cockpit of the Justice Gundam. "Sir, why aren't you wearing a combat suit? With the performance of your mech, how can your body stand without a combat suit? Even if there is a little accident, the combat suit can protect you."
"Really? It doesn't matter. I'm already used to it." Xiao Ran smiled when he heard the voice. Then, he saw that the bridge of the Minerva wanted to connect to the communication channel. He accepted the call, and Captain Thalia's figure appeared on the screen.
"Lord Xiao Ran, there's no need for Milord to appear in this battle for now. If the Justice Gundam appears on the battlefield and we don't destroy the enemy fleet in the shortest amount of time, it's very easy for the enemy to guess that we're plotting something. After all, the enemy only has two fleets. With Milord's strength... Of course, if necessary, I still hope that Lord Xiao Ran can provide assistance."
Before Xiao Ran could say anything, Zhen said, "Captain Thalia is right. We can deal with the enemy fleet. My new mech is very powerful. Milord, just watch us from the back."
The relationship between Zhen and Rem was no secret among the senior officers of the Minerva. Captain Thalia, Vice-Captain Arthur, Luna Maria, and Heine all knew about Zhen. Although Rem was indeed a member of the Zaft and had made great contributions, he was still Aube's man.
But no matter how their identities had changed, they were still members of the Minerva. Even Dilandal had chosen to trust them and handed the Gundam and Fate to them. Other people who knew about this wouldn't object to it.
Therefore, when Zhen Zhen shouted in the communication channel, no one was surprised, but at the same time, it showed the respect and love that Zhen Zhen had for Xiao Ran from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment when he heard Thalia's words, but then he nodded. "In that case, I understand. If necessary, I will attack. Thank you for your understanding, Milord."
After the communication channel ended, Zhen, Rem, Luna Maria, and Heine piloted their mechs away from the Gnacou and started attacking. Xiao Ran stayed in the cockpit of the Justice Gundam and began watching everything that was happening outside through the screen. The enemy fleet had already appeared in their field of vision. A large number of MS fighters had been deployed and were ready for battle.
On the other hand, Zhen and Heine's Fated Gundam led the charge to the front of the MS troops. Rei was slightly behind them, while Luna Maria's Pulse Gundam stopped in front of the Minerva as a form of protection.
After the two sides were ready for battle, there was no need for unnecessary formalities. Under the orders of their respective commanders, the battle began directly. For a time, whether it was the MS or the battleships, the light beams emitted by the MS dyed the entire battlefield in a variety of colors. The moment the MS of both sides clashed, there were bursts of dazzling sparks being released in the universe.
From the very beginning of the battle, the two sides looked like they were going all out in a desperate battle. The 30% combat strength of the ZAFT troops, on the other hand, seemed to be a little timid during the battle. Most of the time, they were only blocking and delaying the enemy fleet. They did not show their true strength at all.
Xiao Ran sat quietly in the cockpit of the Justice Gundam. He could feel the tremors and tremors of the Minerva on the frontline many times. Looking at the scenes happening on the screen, Xiao Ran's heart was not as calm as he looked. Every time there was an explosion, every time a ZAFT pilot was sacrificed, Xiao Ran would feel a little ashamed in his heart. At the same time, he would also feel worried for the ZAFT troops.
Of course, Xiao Ran was not really a saint. He was used to casualties in battle, but he was just the kind of person who did not want to see his own side sacrificed and lost as long as it was within his power. In particular, the greater the loss of the ZAFT troops, the greater the impact it would have on the following battle. In fact, Xiao Ran had the ability to end the battle as soon as possible, but because of the plan of the higher-ups, he had to sacrifice his own men here. This made Xiao Ran a little uncomfortable.
The battle lasted for an hour. After an hour, whether it was the Alliance or the ZAFT, both sides were really angry. The pilots of the ZAFT gradually lost control of themselves during this time, causing the Alliance, which was already inferior in terms of pilot quality, to suffer more losses. The situation of the battle began to tilt in the ZAFT's favor.
At this time, the figure of Captain Thalia once again appeared on the screen of the Justice Gundam. Captain Thalia looked solemn at this time. Without wasting any time, he said directly, "Lord Xiao Ran, a Alliance assault fleet has appeared behind us on the right. We didn't notice when they circled behind us. Now, we can't deploy too many people and forces to deal with them, so we can only rely on Lord Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran listened to Captain Thalia's words while fully activating his Justice Gundam. He held the joystick with both hands and asked, "How many?"
"Twelve battleships, unknown number of MSs. I'll ask Luna Maria to send two more teams to cooperate."
"That's quite a lot." Xiao Ran felt that the body of the Gundam had been fixed by the bracket and began to be transferred to the ejection slot. He shook his head and said, "Luna Maria, stay behind to protect the Minerva. Just send one team to help me cover the gap. If that fleet carries nuclear bombs, it won't be so troublesome to destroy them."
"Okay." Captain Thalia was also aware of Xiao Ran's strength, so after Xiao Ran asked her to send only one team to cooperate, she didn't refuse. She decisively hung up the communication and began to arrange and command the battle again. In a battle, anything that wasted time was unnecessary, so Xiao Ran didn't think much of this seemingly impolite action. He thought it was only right.
When the Justice Gundam was ejected from the Minerva, Xiao Ran immediately ejected all the GN Dragoons behind it. Countless beams shot out from the Dragoons. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings of the Minerva were filled with countless sparks. The allied MS Tanks finally managed to reach the Minerva with great difficulty, but in the blink of an eye, they were all mercilessly massacred by Xiao Ran, who had been holding back for a long time, in the Justice Gundam.
Luna Maria couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression when she felt the power of the Justice Gundam up close. Even though she already knew that the Justice Gundam was very strong, after seeing this scene, Luna Maria felt that the Justice Gundam was even stronger and more frightening than she had imagined.
In just one wave of attack, Xiao Ran piloted the Justice Gundam and destroyed no less than 15 allied MS fighters. It only took him less than 10 seconds to completely wipe out the enemy forces around the Minerva. Then, he turned around and piloted the Justice Gundam towards the coordinates sent to him by Captain Thalia.
On the way to the coordinates, the Justice Gundam suddenly burst out with countless green particles, which seemed to form a pair of dreamy green wings behind it. The body of the Justice Gundam gradually turned red. The Justice Gundam's transformation also increased its speed by several times. It directly turned into a blur and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. The ZAFT team that was sent to help the Justice Gundam could only look at the Justice Gundam that was quickly disappearing into the distance. They had no choice but to speed up and chase after it.
Xiao Ran didn't know when the joint fleet had made a detour to the rear, but in fact, they weren't too far away from the ZAFT fleet. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to detect the existence of the joint fleet in such a chaotic situation. Xiao Ran only advanced at the top speed of his airframe for two minutes before he could clearly see the fleet without the help of magnification.
At this time, the allied fleet had already launched a lot of MSs. Xiao Ran even saw the MSs carrying nuclear launchers among the MSs. The large nuclear radiation symbol was also displayed on the screen.
"As expected." Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and continued to move forward without stopping. The nuclear force seemed to have discovered that the enemy was actually the Justice Gundam that had caused them so much pain. They also completely dispersed the MSs and all the battleships. Before Xiao Ran really got close to the enemy, he had already seen countless meteor-like rays of light completely disperse from the screen. They did not gather together at all, giving him the opportunity to directly launch a nuclear attack and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
Seeing that the enemy was obviously afraid of him by dispersing, Xiao Ran's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "You think I can't deal with you just because you're dispersing?"
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly emitted a golden radiance. The pair of wings of light behind the Justice Gundam instantly transformed into two rapidly expanding dragons. With the Justice Gundam as the center, they began to sweep outwards. Soon, the space around the Justice Gundam was dyed in a layer of green. It wasn't just the Justice Gundam's location. Even the Minerva's location could be clearly seen from the surveillance cameras. The two green dragons dyed the space around the Justice Gundam a faint green radiance.
After fully releasing and activating the ability of 'Mental Outburst' and 'Purebred Mutant', Xiao Ran's brain naturally reflected all the information fed back by the GN particles. After the GN particles completely enveloped the enemy fleet, Xiao Ran's brain also appeared all the information he needed.
Which battleship carried the nuclear bomb, where it was, which MS carried the nuclear bomb, and where it went. Xiao Ran could even tell how many nuclear bombs were in existence today. After getting the information he needed, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly revealed an incomparable murderous intent. The GN Dragoons behind him all spread out and began to gallop in different directions as fast as lightning. The sword-shaped BIT on his left shoulder was also immediately assembled on the longsword held on his right arm, turning into a huge beam sword that could release even more powerful beams of light.

The scattered GN Dragoons began to chase after the scattered MS warships that carried nuclear bombs. Xiao Ran directly piloted the Justice Gundam and began to rush towards the gradually dispersing alliance warships that could never be as agile as the MS warships.
The scattered GN Dragoons dodged countless flying attacks under Xiao Ran's cheat-like control. With the help of Harrow's cooperation, the scattered GN Dragoons dodged countless flying attacks. They began to attack the predetermined targets in groups of two or three.
