Seeing that the allied fleet was trying to escape, Xiao Ran piloted the Mech to finish off a few MS-class fighters at the fastest speed possible. Then, he charged toward the retreating battleships. The Mech left a long trail of light in the battlefield as it weaved back and forth among the countless chaotic light beams. It was approaching the allied fleet at a fast speed.
The obvious movement of the Justice Gundam immediately attracted the attention of the alliance fleet. In an instant, the alliance fleet began to retreat faster. Under the command of the alliance commander, more MS began to attack the Justice Gundam recklessly. There were also countless MS desperately trying to block the path of the Justice Gundam.
Countless beams of light flew from the back of the Justice Gundam. In front of the Justice Gundam were the Allied Mechs desperately trying to stop the Justice Gundam. The attacks from the back and the front almost completely sealed off the Justice Gundam's mobility. This also reduced the pressure on the Zaft Army's Mechs. At the same time, the lighter Zaft Army's Mechs quickly caught the Allied Mechs off guard. The Zaft Army's Mechs that were brave enough to face the Justice Gundam with their backs facing the Mechs were defeated.
After noticing the movement of the Justice Gundam, Zhen and Rei also stopped tangling with the nearby enemies and started to chase after the Justice Gundam. When they saw the countless beams of light completely sealing off the movement space of the Justice Gundam, the two of them were not worried at all. Even the two of them had ways to deal with the attacks coming from all directions, not to mention Xiao Ran who had better piloting skills than them. Moreover, the Justice Gundam itself had special abilities that they did not understand, such as the teleportation ability that they had sensed before. Naturally, they did not think that the attacks coming from all directions would pose any threat to the Justice Gundam.
The two of them piloted their respective MS Gundam from both sides and launched a sudden attack. Their first goal was not to converge with the Justice Gundam, but to go around the Justice Gundam from both sides and get rid of the MS Gundam in front of it. At the same time, they also wanted to share the pressure of the Justice Gundam.
The speed of the two MS Gundam was also extremely fast. After activating the [Radiant Bearer], a pair of wings of light appeared on their backs. The speed of the MS Gundam was also not inferior to the speed of the Justice Gundam when it activated the triple red system. As they moved, they also left behind afterimages that could be seen with the naked eye. The MS Gundam also emitted a dazzling yet dreamy purple light that appeared on the battlefield. The MS Gundam left behind a long trail of light as it rushed towards the MS Gundam at an extremely fast speed.
On the Justice Gundam, Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows at the sudden burst of speed of the Gundam and the Gundam. Xiao Ran asked himself honestly, the current Justice Gundam definitely couldn't reach the speed of the two Gundams, especially when it came to quick turns in a small area. Even though there was no equipment like the GN Solar Furnace, Xiao Ran still felt that the Gundam was much faster than the current Justice Gundam with the GN Solar Furnace. From the movements of the two Gundams, there wasn't even the slightest bit of sluggishness. They were very direct and direct. Xiao Ran couldn't see any sluggishness in the movements of the two Gundams.
"So this is the improved [Radiant Bearer]. I didn't expect it to increase the speed of the MS Gundam to this extent. If I didn't activate the triple red system, I'm afraid the Justice Gundam wouldn't be able to keep up with their speed." While Xiao Ran sighed in his heart, he did not neglect the countless attacks coming towards the Justice Gundam.
Facing these attacks, Xiao Ran did not intend to use the quantum transfer method to dodge them. He didn't even activate the [Transmutation] mode. After activating [Mental Explosion], his eyes suddenly lit up, and his hands continuously made a series of controls.
The sword-shaped BIT instantly appeared behind the Justice Gundam and circled around it. When the light beams were about to hit the Justice Gundam, a red circular light shield suddenly appeared and blocked all the attacks behind the Justice Gundam effortlessly. In an instant, the sudden appearance of the light shield was struck by the light beams and scattered into beautiful light screens and light spots.
As for the front, the left shoulder shield turned forward and blocked a few attacks under Xiao Ran's control. The Justice Gundam then used various postures to let the attacks pass by it. Seizing the gap between the attacks, it accelerated and completely escaped the blockade of the attacks from the front and back. The sword-shaped BIT also spread out and regrouped on the left shoulder of the Justice Gundam.
The longsword in Xiao Ran's right arm instantly switched to shooting mode. Under Xiao Ran's control, the longsword began firing accurately at the intercepting MS in front of the Justice Gundam. Following that, several beams of light were fired consecutively. One shot, two shots, three shots. As the Gundam's body moved irregularly from left to right, up and down, the beams of light passed through the intercepting MS in front of the Justice Gundam. Although the accuracy of these beams of light was not 100%, it was at least 50%. In other words, one of the two beams of light would hit the enemy in front of the Justice Gundam. This attack also caused the MS in front of the Justice Gundam to scatter.
Seeing this, Xiao Ran controlled the Justice Gundam to accelerate again. He directly rushed through the path that appeared after the MS Gundam dispersed and approached the fleet of the alliance. The MS Gundam was about to turn around and give chase, but Zhen He's Gundam of Fate and Legend quickly rushed into the midst of the MS Gundam with their speed not inferior to the Gundam of Triple Red System. They immediately launched an attack on the MS Gundam.
The Gundam of Fate immediately pulled out its Anti-Battleship Blade and moved left and right at an unimaginably fast speed. In just a few seconds, the Anti-Battleship Blade had split open the chests of several MS Gundam. Every time the Gundam changed its direction and slashed, the Gundam of Fate would burst out with a flash of light. The Gundam of Fate, on the other hand, had completely released all of its Super Dragoons. Its body cooperated with the Dragoons to create a net of light beams among the MS Gundam, causing the explosions of the MS Gundam to continuously appear near it.
After the Justice Gundam broke through the defensive line formed by the alliance's MS Gundam, it could be said that other than the alliance's warships, there were only a few MS Gundam in charge of protecting the warships. These MS Gundam played no role in intercepting Xiao Ran. They could only watch as the Justice Gundam directly rushed in front of a warship and slashed down the bridge of the warship.
Although the firepower of the warships was not small, their mobility and agility were extremely poor. The Justice Gundam was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. It was a huge threat to the flock of sheep, but the flock of sheep was just food for the Justice Gundam to kill at will. Any warship or MS Gundam that appeared in front of the Justice Gundam was no match for the Justice Gundam.
In a short period of time, the Justice Gundam destroyed several warships in succession. The alliance's warships were destroyed one by one by the Justice Gundam without any resistance. The morale of the alliance's MS Gundam plummeted again. They were completely unable to stop the Zaft army that was getting stronger and stronger as the battle went on. In the end, the entire defensive line collapsed completely, and more Zaft troops began to break into the surroundings of the alliance's fleet.
Seeing this situation, the commander of the alliance knew that the battle had ended in failure. No matter how much they resisted, it was only a matter of how long they struggled in the end. Soon, the surrender signal flares were fired from the alliance's fleet one after another. The MS Gundam also threw away their weapons one after another, as if they were not going to fight anymore.
"They surrendered?" Captain Thalia on the Minerva heaved a sigh of relief when she saw these surrender signals, but then she began to frown as she began to think about how to deal with these surrendered captives. She had just received news that the ZAFT and Aube's fleets had merged and launched an attack on the moon's joint base. In other words, after the battle here ended, the troops on this side should immediately join the battle on the other side.
However, if this fleet chose to surrender, it would greatly affect the deployment of their forces. They would even have to leave some people behind to receive and control these captives. They could not let this surrendered fleet affect the battle on the other side in the future. This way, their own combat power would be reduced for no reason. This made Captain Thalia feel a little troubled.
However, Xiao Ran's communication was connected to the Minerva at this time. After seeing Captain Thalia on his screen, Xiao Ran directly said, "Let all the MS Gundam pilots in the alliance leave their bodies immediately. Let our people send them to the alliance's battleships. All the MS Gundam pilots in the battleships that are not attacking will be released into space. After ensuring that all the MS Gundam pilots in the alliance are unmanned, leave one-fifth of the force behind to control these captives. The rest will immediately head to the moon after fixing the situation."
Captain Thalia could only nod helplessly when he heard Xiao Ran's arrangement. At this time, there was no better way to solve the problem of controlling the captives, and Xiao Ran's method was indeed the most feasible. One-fifth of the combat power could not only ensure that the alliance fleet could complete the control without the MS Gundam, but they could also respond in time if the surrendered fleet made any movements. It also kept the forces that could not participate in the battle to a minimum.
Moreover, once Xiao Ran gave the order, with ZAFT and Aube now in a complete alliance and joint command, Captain Thalia could not refuse such a reasonable order. He quickly passed down Xiao Ran's order to all the ships and notified the surrendered fleets.
At this time, Xiao Ran also drove the Justice Gundam back to the Minerva. The GN Dragoons lost in the battle could not be replenished on the Minerva. In other words, Xiao Ran also had to participate in the next battle in the form of the Justice Gundam. He could not replenish the GN Dragoons until the Dominion Angel arrived.
After Xiao Ran returned to the Minerva, Zhen, Rei, Heine, and Luna Maria, who were the main force of the battle and would also participate in the next battle, also returned to the Minerva. The four of them directly stayed in the waiting room to rest and replenish their energy. Compared to Xiao Ran, other than Luna Maria, Zhen, Rei, and Heine's mecha levels were quite high, and their piloting skills were not bad. However, their physical fitness was much worse than Xiao Ran's, especially Rei, who had not received any treatment yet. He also showed uncontrollable exhaustion.
Only Xiao Ran did not show any signs of exhaustion at all. After all, in this battle, Xiao Ran did not really need to consume any energy at all. After all, Xiao Ran had maintained his peak condition throughout the battle. But after seeing Rei's condition, he also put the matter of treating Rei's injuries in his heart. There was no suitable opportunity before, but after today's battle, treating Rei's injuries would be a must.
Not long after, under the urging of the Zaft side, the acceptance of the surrendered fleet was completed in a short time. The battlefield was now filled with unmanned Vendams. These mecha had all been inspected and found to be unmanned. All the remaining allied battleships were also released in an unmanned state after the Zaft side sent their MS-class into the enemy's battleships to guard them. The Minerva also led the rest of the fleet to the moon.
In total, only an hour had passed since the acceptance of the captives. It was not a long delay. Just as the fleet set off again, Xiao Ran was summoned to the bridge by Captain Thalia. He personally explained the specific situation in the direction of the moon's battle line to Xiao Ran.
The battle over there had been going on for some time. With the cooperation of Aube's army, SS Eternity, and the Zaft coalition, they had split up and cut off two intermediate points. But so far, the location of more intermediate points had not been determined. It was also uncertain whether Requiem could still directly attack Earth and PLANT after these two intermediate points were cut off.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Aube and the Zaft coalition did not relax their attack on the alliance's moon base and Requiem.
In addition, the number of fleets on the alliance's side was more than they initially expected. Because they had discovered Aube and the Zaft coalition's actions in advance, they had gathered all their forces in one place from the beginning. The number of battleships on the alliance's side was almost the same as the Zaft coalition's, and this was despite the loss of two fleets on the alliance's side.
Therefore, although the current situation could be said to be slightly advantageous under the leadership of Aube, the Silver Hand, and SS Eternity, both sides were still in a stalemate. They did not really gain a bigger advantage, especially the dozens of Gundams protecting Requiem. They were also a big hindrance to Aube and the Zaft coalition.
