The screen of the Justice Gundam flashed with a burst of light from behind. After Xiao Ran's hands made a few consecutive movements on the control stick and panel, the Justice Gundam once again changed its angle according to Xiao Ran's movements and shook off the enemy behind it. The ELS at the back could not change its direction in time and collided head-on with the attack from the Gundam of Divine Will. The giant dragon formed by the ELS exploded one after another like a fuse.
From El Erf's words, Cha Na should be in an extremely active mental state, but it was not certain whether this kind of activity represented a good or bad thing. The current situation was that the Federation's final line of defense was trying its best to stop the ELS from approaching, but the ELS was still steadily using its huge numbers to completely envelop the entire Federation's final line of defense. Although this process was very slow due to the resistance of the Federation's final line of defense, the ELS still continued to press on step by step.
Now, the contact between the Federation's final line of defense and the ELS could only be regarded as the beginning. The Federation's MS at most came into contact with the insignificant fingernail of the ELS that had not yet been clenched into a fist. Even so, the Federation's current losses had already exceeded 5%. Based on the number of ELS, a finger like this was definitely not as simple as five fingers on a human hand. Once the ELS closed its claws, Xiao Ran could guarantee that the Federation's losses would plummet explosively.
And once the ELS approached those warships that did not have much defensive capabilities and relied entirely on the MS to protect more mobile turrets, as long as a small portion of the ELS came into contact with those warships, it would cause a chain reaction. One warship after another would be eroded by the ELS.
It had only been a short time since the start of the battle, but even the Cruzet, who had been at the forefront of the battle line, felt tired in the face of great pressure, not to mention the ordinary Federation pilots who did not have the physical fitness of the participants.
Xiao Ran was just about to continue replying to El Erf to ask the latter to transfer all five MS units as reinforcements to relieve the pressure when El Erf's soft voice reached Xiao Ran's ears, "Huh, something's not right. The ELS has accelerated again, and the main force at the rear has begun to spread out. Are they trying to completely surround us?"
"Wait!" It was rare for El Erf to frown. He stood up from his seat in Burning Legion, hurriedly ran to a seat that was occupied, and directly pulled the CIC officer up. The CIC officer sat in front of the computer with a confused look on his face. His hands quickly tapped on the keyboard, and the screen in front of El Erf flashed with countless words and pictures.
The whole calculation did not take too much time, and when the calculation results appeared in front of El Erf's eyes, even the usually indifferent El Erf could not help but show a horrified expression. He directly said into the ear microphone, "According to the ELS's diffusion angle, more than two-thirds of the ELS at the rear will bypass our final line of defense and go directly to Earth. I just don't know if this is the ELS's tactic or instinct, but no matter what, the enemy in front of us is not that simple."
"F * ck." Xiao Ran was shocked when he heard El Erf's words, and he could not help but curse. Xiao Ran could not give an accurate answer to the number of two-thirds of the ELS at the rear, but based on the results of observation with the naked eye, two-thirds of the ELS was definitely enough to cover the entire Earth. The remaining one-third, together with the ELS that had already come into contact with them, was enough to gradually destroy the Federation's final line of defense. The only difference was how long the Federation's final line of defense could last.
If the ELS stupidly advanced step by step, although the final result would still be the collapse of the Federation's final line of defense, at least the battle would be prolonged, giving Cha Na time to wake up. Now, the ELS 'unilateral' breach of contract 'could be considered a surprise attack on Xiao Ran and the Federation. They could either spread the defense line along with the ELS's diffusion, or continue to be nailed to the front. However, if they chose the former, their firepower would inevitably become sparse, and their combat strength would decrease accordingly. If they chose the latter, they would have to watch the ELS invade Earth. No matter which option they chose, it could be said that only death awaited them.
"Transfer all the troops at the rear and block them for me! Let Sherry Dew go!"
Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and said. The expression on his face was no longer as simple as anger. In the current situation, no matter which option they chose, it would eventually lead to the failure of their mission. Therefore, Xiao Ran absolutely could not choose one of the options given by the ELS. At this point, Xiao Ran could only use his final trump card and force himself to plan for the worst.
The price of failure was not unbearable, but it would be a huge blow to the Burning Legion, and the lives of billions of people behind him would become an eternal nightmare for Xiao Ran, tormenting him forever until the end of his life. He had never treated the lives in the mission world as fake. Everyone was a living individual in his heart. If so many lives were sacrificed because of his choice, Xiao Ran, who was not cruel by nature, would definitely not be able to live with himself.
El Erf was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand. Miss Sherry Dew is ready to start at any time. I will let the Burning Legion and the Frontier move to resist the ELS on both sides as much as possible, but I will need your authorization to use those weapons."
The weapons that El Erf mentioned were not only the MACROSS cannons, but also the Sword of Ideon, large MED warheads, and large reaction bombs. These were weapons that could indeed delay the ELS for a short period of time. The other weapons were still okay, but if the large MED warheads were used too many times, the consequences would be very serious.
Xiao Ran replied without hesitation, "Apart from the MED warhead, you can use everything else. At this point, we can't hold back anymore."
"Yes, sir."
After hanging up, Xiao Ran also sent a message to Cruzet. He gritted his teeth and stared at everything on the screen with his golden eyes. He was shouting in his heart, "If I was a Class A, if Cruzet was a Class A, if Bassac and Graham were all Class A, and if Nalor, Law, and Ryukino were all Class B, this situation would definitely not be like this."
"If Kira, Aslan, and the others were piloting an airframe made with the current technology, they would only need one airframe. One airframe would be equivalent to one-third of the total combat power of the final line of defense. If Bassac got a real super airframe, he would definitely not be unable to exert the true power of the super series due to the interference of so many ELS. If Ryukino's level was higher and his airframe's level was higher, he might be able to use more lethal fantasy magic."
"Power, only power is everything. Only real power can really decide everything. Without power, you can only face it passively. Just like now, when facing the ELS, you can only … Sigh, with my current power, I'm already feeling forced to face everything now. Am I too lax and confused my priorities? Damn it!"
Xiao Ran's hands gripped the control stick tightly. This encounter had greatly changed his heart that had unknowingly relaxed because he was living too well. He had regained the sense of urgency he had when he first came to Prometheus. It was only the second round of the mission, and he had already advanced to a B-class pilot. In the three faction territories, there were warships like the Burning Legion, the Frontier, the current Justice Gundam, a technical master like Law, and strong teammates like Cruzet, Graham, Jegus, and Bassac. Xiao Ran's mentality was also very different from when he first entered this world.
After learning about the role of the army, the first thing he thought of was how to quickly strengthen the army, not to further increase his own strength. Xiao Ran blindly believed that the Faction, the Territory, the Army, Kreutzer, Law, and the others were all part of his strength. However, a hard power was a hard power, it was something that belonged to him. Kreutzer, Law, the Army, and the Territory didn't directly make him stronger, but instead gave him a pair of wings that could help him from behind. This pair of wings could only be used for preparation, it couldn't provide him with the help he needed the most in a time of crisis. Only when his own faction was strong enough would he have the qualifications to look down on all difficulties, to look down on those large armies that had existed in Prometheus for god knows how long.
And now, after Xiao Ran encountered the ELS, whose learning ability and tactical ability had completely exceeded the original storyline, he was enlightened. He wanted to become stronger, he wanted to become the top individual existence in Prometheus's real area, and that was to become an A-rank pilot. Although it was not clear whether there was an S-rank after the A-rank, Xiao Ran's greatest desire now was to make himself a real A-rank pilot.
On the final line of defense, in order to prevent the spread of the ELS into Earth, the Frontier and the Burning Legion began to take the lead and began to gradually lengthen the line of defense. Although they maintained the attacking ability of the middle line of defense, once the ELS dispersed, it was inevitable that the line of defense would be somewhat affected, especially when the most powerful firepower of the Burning Legion and the Frontier moved.
Although the movement of the two battleships did not stop attacking for even a second, the change in angle also allowed the ELS to seize the opportunity to attack, causing the pressure on the front line and the battleships at the rear to continue to increase. Under Xiao Ran's command, the five prepared MS battleships were all thrown into the battlefield, but only one MS battleship was deployed in the middle of the battlefield, while the remaining four battleships were spread out to deal with the changes in the ELS 'formation.
After Xiao Ran shouted in his heart, he seemed to have become crazy. The combat ability of the Justice Gundam skyrocketed by several levels, completely ignoring the body and starting to explode. Under his influence, the four solar furnaces of the body once again erupted with even more GN particles. These particles completely shrouded the entire final line of defense, completely dyeing the entire sky green and showing signs of rapidly spreading towards Earth.
In this way, even more ELS began to rush towards the Justice Gundam, causing the number of ELS that followed behind and surrounded the Justice Gundam to become even more terrifying. If the camera zoomed out, the Justice Gundam was completely covered by the dense ELS. There was no gap at all, except for the continuous explosion of light every second.
While the two battleships, Burning Legion and Frontier, moved to the sides, the battleships gradually transformed into incomparably huge robots. The first thing that flew out from the steel bodies of the two robots were countless large and small missiles that flew towards the periphery of the final line of defense. These missiles included small high-explosive bombs and large reactive bombs. In less than ten seconds, they appeared in front of the spreading ELS vanguard, illuminating the entire world with a white light.
Huge light balls came one after another, while small flame-like light balls exploded and were devoured one after another. Countless ELS were completely turned into nothingness under the attack of the large reactive bombs and the small high-explosive bombs. During the duration of the large reactive bombs, countless ELS rushed in and disappeared. Countless large reactive bombs almost drained all the reserves of the two battleships, but the result was that the ELS detouring force stopped for a short time.
Before the light dissipated, the middle position of the Burning Legion that had transformed into a human suddenly lit up with a colourful light. A piece of music also spread across the entire battlefield along with the signal of the Burning Legion. Using the singing power and the special equipment of the Burning Legion singers, this piece of music seemed to resound in the universe where sound could not be transmitted.
"I am Sherry Dew. Whether you are a human or an ELS, listen to my song!"
The tightly paced and hot-blooded song suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. But unlike the hot-blooded song, the song conveyed a desire for peace and understanding to everyone through the hot-blooded song. When Sherry Dew's song reached Xiao Ran's ears, the bond between them and the ability of Sherry Dew's song immediately increased Xiao Ran's combat ability once again. Not only Xiao Ran, but all the humans who heard this song also felt like they were filled with strength.
The Justice Gundam that was heavily surrounded suddenly emitted a light as bright as the sun. The light seemed to have pierced through the dark clouds. Beams of light pierced through the ELS surrounding the Justice Gundam. As the beams of light pierced through the ELS surrounding the Justice Gundam, countless explosions erupted. The Justice Gundam that was flashing red also took this opportunity to rush out of the ELS encirclement. In that scene, the Justice Gundam's beam attacks seemed to have no interval between them. Its two huge mechanical arms and the huge beam sword in its hand brandished into a curtain of light that was so powerful that it was impossible to resist.
