2325. Team Heine.
Tsukuyomi was stunned for a moment before she slowly retracted her hands. The endless darkness around her disappeared as well. She clenched her fists tightly, feeling endless humiliation in her heart …
"Jing Shuo … Our Izumo … doesn't even have the courage to attack …" Tsukuyomi said with a trembling voice.
Jing Shuo was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Come back … Don't stay there. I've already seen the last signal from the R-0079 probe. The black threat level means that our current strength is absolutely undefeatable. Before figuring out Tang Yu's trump cards, it's unwise to rashly reveal our trump cards. "
A drop of tear fell from the corner of Tsukuyomi's eye before turning into ice crystals in the gravity-free void and gradually drifting into the distance. "I'm not leaving! At the very least, I will accompany this moon base until the end! After all, this was built bit by bit under my leadership! You once told me that this base is the sharp knife that stabs at the Lanxiang Team's heart! I can't accept retreating before this knife kills the Lanxiang Team! "
As she spoke, her expression calmed down again. "I … definitely won't be frightened by the Independent Star Confederation that hasn't been proven yet! Did you just say that we don't need the Evernight Barrier? If that's the case, I can always use other methods to fight, right? "
"Don't be rash."
However, Tsukuyomi didn't hear this. She had already torn off the communicator and crushed it in her hand. Her body wasn't particularly strengthened. The shattered parts pierced into her fair palm, causing it to immediately bleed profusely. Her expression was solemn as she raised her blood-stained palm and pointed forward. The blood floated in the gravity-free vacuum. Suddenly! The blood boiled and increased in number, covering a wider area. More blood flowed out from the wound on Tsukuyomi's hand. Soon, it formed a beating heart with a diameter of more than a meter in the cosmic void!
Following that, an incomparably powerful force began to condense around the heart. It was as if there was endless darkness, and the heart was instantly enveloped by darkness. This darkness blended into one in the universe, and it was almost impossible to see what it was.
"Go, Shuo Yue! Protect this base and tear all the invaders who dare to approach the moon into pieces! " Tsukuyomi said indifferently. At the same time, a pair of scarlet eyes flashed in the dark void!
Upon seeing the gigantic bird that fused into the darkness, Tsukuyomi's body swayed slightly as her face turned pale. In a flash, she turned into a streak of black light and appeared in the command center.
At that moment, the Yun Nation fleet, which had gathered in the low-Earth orbit and was ready to launch an attack, began to change direction and move closer to the lunar base. These battleships remained suspended above the lunar base, and the turrets on the battleships were fully deployed and charged, ready to fire at any time.
At the same time, on the moon base, massive electromagnetic cannons, high-power laser cannons, and powerful positron cannons were all aimed at the sky. Countless missile launchers were also ready to fire. All the active radars were turned on. Countless radar waves covered the entire moon base and scanned the area thousands of kilometers away.
Inside the base, a large number of MS were also ready to go. Pilots in tight-fitting flight suits jumped onto their MS and prepared for the final attack. Most of these MS were ZGMF-1000 Zaku Warriors, and a portion of them were ZGMF-1001 Zaku Phantoms used as captains, as well as some ZGMF-1017M2 High Mobility Gold and ZGMF-601R Gates R, which were all MS models commonly seen in Zaft. In addition, a few Holy Shield Gundams and Thunderbolt Gundams could be seen. With the Yun Nation's powerful industrial system, these airframes had also been mass-produced.
The door of the command center was pushed open, and a few pilots in crimson military uniforms walked in. The insignia on their uniforms were Zaft's, not the Yun Nation's. The leader had blond hair, slender eyes, and a sunny smile. He stood at attention in front of Tsukuyomi and performed a standard military salute. Then, he said in a clear voice, "Zaft Army, FAITH, Captain of the 3rd Special Mobility Force, Lieutenant Colonel Heine Westphrus, reporting for duty!"
Behind him, a very delicate looking man with light blond hair draped softly over his shoulders smiled a little bashfully. However, he still performed a standard military salute and said loudly, "Major Colonel Reza Barell, a member of the Third Special Mobility Force from the Zaft Army, FAITH, reporting for duty!"
Tsukuyomi turned around abruptly. There was a look of determination on her beautiful face. She looked at the pilots in front of her, who were at most in their early twenties. She nodded and said slowly, "We are facing a sudden and almost invincible enemy, but our only choice is to fight to the end! We will be the first to confront this enemy head-on. Perhaps the battle situation isn't optimistic, so if you wish to withdraw, you can leave now. "
Heine smiled and said, "You must be joking, Lady Tsukuyomi. We are warriors. There's no reason for us to retreat just because the enemy is powerful."
Tsukuyomi nodded again and didn't say anything else. She turned around again and looked out the window at the deep universe.
"That … I would like to ask who our enemy is this time?" Heine asked politely.
"We do have some information, but it might not be accurate. In order to avoid unnecessary chaos, before we officially make contact with the other party and confirm their origins, you can take it that our understanding of the other party is zero, "Tsukuyomi said.
"Then, please allow us to go to the hangar to make preparations," Heine said.
"There's no rush for the time being. You guys are the real trump cards. If you sacrifice yourselves in vain because of the unknown enemy, it won't only be Zaft's loss, but also our Yun Nation's loss," Tsukuyomi said indifferently.
Heine nodded and took another step back. He stood there with the rest of his team members, maintaining a relaxed posture.
Moments later, the radar soldier suddenly turned around and said loudly, "Reporting! We've lost contact with R-0082 and R-0083 deep space probes that are flying towards Mars! And they haven't sent back any information! "
"Where's the location where we lost contact?" a middle-aged general standing at the side, Lieutenant General Sugama Yoshikichi, asked loudly.
"They're 20 million kilometers away from us! The enemy's speed has exceeded 30000 kilometers per second. It's estimated that we'll encounter them within 10 minutes! "the radar soldier replied loudly.
Sugama Yoshikichi said loudly, "All battleships immediately move out and enter attack positions! Fighter jets and MS squadrons take off immediately! Launch missiles in the direction of the enemy ships! There are 200 of them! "
The lunar base immediately moved. Dozens of battleships began to change direction and face the direction of the enemy ships. Then, the large vertical missile launchers installed on the ground opened their hatches. With Lieutenant General Sugama Yoshikichi's command, huge flames erupted from these vertical launchers! Then, 200 large space anti-ship missiles rose into the air and shot straight in the direction of Mars!
The missiles that were spewing blue particles quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. Everyone's heart rate gradually increased as time passed. These space anti-ship missiles all used high-yield nuclear warheads. Even Zaft's most advanced Meniva-class space battleship could not withstand the bombardment of such a missile!
But there was still no response … A few minutes later, something unexpected happened! Twelve incomparably huge figures instantly appeared on the periphery of the moon at an extremely high speed, and in almost a few seconds, their speed reduced to normal combat speed!
Only then did everyone see the silhouettes of these twelve huge battleships! Four triangular-shaped Victory-class planet destroyers, four Feng-class frigates, two Heaven-class cruisers, and two Rukrihouk-class battleships!
Large hexagonal symbols were sprayed on the side of these battleships — Independent Star Systems Confederation!
The side of these battleships was painted with a large hexagonal symbol — Independent Star System Confederation!
