Chapter 140: Halftime Break

Li Boyong successfully killed Saachez, but due to the maneuvering in the debris belt and the final acrobatic turn, the Flag's state was not very good, especially the joints of its legs, which had been severely deformed.

This forced him to give up the plan to find the coalition fleet and fly toward the hidden location of Wang Liumei.

If he could return to the transport container, the Flag could still get limited supply and maintenance.

On the other side, the fierce battle on the frontal battlefield had also entered its final stages.

Facing numerical superiority and highly targeted tactics, the Gundam Meisters, who were in a bitter struggle, had to use Aeolia's legacy—the Trans-Am System.

The Kyrios Gundam and Virtue Gundam used the Trans-Am System at critical moments.

Both Gundams suddenly erupted with extremely high performance, forcibly breaking through the GN-X's suppression and beginning a fierce counterattack.

"Ah, Unit 7 hit."

"The enemy machine is emitting red light!"

"All units, be careful, don't get separated."

The GN-X unit was in chaos, with continuous damage appearing.

Watching the Gundams, which had originally been suppressed into a predicament by his unit, suddenly erupt with new capabilities and reverse the situation in one breath.

"All units, begin retreat."

Lieutenant Colonel Sergei, responsible for MS team command, had to issue a retreat order.

The rear fleet was attacked, the detachment was lost, and even the frontal war was in an unfavorable position.

Facing the Gundams' new capabilities and this unfavorable situation, continuing to fight would only meaninglessly increase their own casualties.

The three Gundam Meisters saw the GN-Xs retreat and didn't launch a pursuit.

After all, to repel the main force of the GN-X unit, the Dynames Gundam and Virtue Gundam had both used the Trans-Am System and were now in a state of declining machine performance.

Especially the Virtue Gundam; as a firepower-type machine with weak mobility, the Virtue Gundam was hit many times in the battle.

Although it had the protection of the GN Field, facing such dense beam fire, the damage to the external armor had clearly exceeded the limit, looking extremely tragic.

But regardless, according to the current situation, the coalition forces seemed to have paid a huge price, yet still couldn't cause significant damage to the Celestial Being organization.

Among them, there was the credit of the Trans-Am System, the credit of the two GN Armors, and the credit of Li Boyong guiding the situation.

At least, Lockon Stratos, who should have died in this battle, clearly survived successfully.

——

A hidden coordinate in a debris belt.

Li Boyong successfully found Wang Liumei's transport container.

Looking at the approaching Flag, Wang Liumei opened the top of the transport container and manipulated the auxiliary arm to accommodate the Flag.

"This is, you brought back a GN Drive?"

Wang Liumei asked in surprise, looking at what the Flag was carrying.

"Due to Ali Al-Saachez's interference, the attack on the fleet didn't reach the expected goal, but I successfully lured and killed him while he was piloting a new machine in the debris belt; this is a souvenir I brought back along the way."

Although Li Boyong knew that getting a GN Drive now didn't have much significance, he saw that the GN Drive of Saachez's machine hadn't exploded, so he brought it back along the way.

After Li Boyong fixed the Flag and the GN Drive, he connected to the internal communication in the transport container. He briefly reported his results, then asked Wang Liumei: "How is the battle situation on Ptolemaios's side?"

"A telegram came from Sumeragi's side; they successfully repelled the enemy main force and detachment, but Dynames and Virtue are heavily damaged and need a certain amount of maintenance time." Wang Liumei replied calmly. "In addition, Sister Shihe is rushing here; originally she wanted to assist you in attacking the enemy fleet, but she didn't make it in time."

"Now that the enemy MS team main force has retreated to the fleet, Sister Shihe gave up the intention of attacking and is preparing to rendezvous with us."

"It seems the situation is temporarily favorable to us." Although he didn't reach the best expectation, Li Boyong was satisfied with the current situation.

"The Flag's attrition is also not light; I will start supply operations immediately."

"Oh, I'll leave it to you."

"Leave it to me."

Wang Liumei cut off the communication; her originally calm eyes gradually lost their liveliness, becoming as withered as a pool of stagnant water.

She manipulated the auxiliary arm like a tool person to carry out supply operations for the Flag, and occasionally glanced at the combat record images of various machines that were playing in a loop.

Only when seeing enemy machines being shot down would her eyes flash with a stunning brilliance for a moment.

"Die, die, die, die, die, all of you go die."

The continuous muttering slowly spread in the cockpit of the transport container, but was isolated in this closed space.

Li Boyong didn't know Wang Liumei's current psychological state; the battle with Saachez in the debris belt had consumed a lot of his energy, and he now needed to seize the time to recover his physical strength.

After handing over the machine's supply to Wang Liumei, he ate some emergency food and replenished water in the cockpit, and by the way, thought about the next battle.

The next one to deal with is that guy Kona, right?

The coalition forces still have about a dozen GN-Xs, but Celestial Being's combat power loss is slight, so dealing with them shouldn't be a problem.

The problem is Kona's MA; it seems to be called Alvatore. That thing seems to be equipped with seven pseudo-drives, which is simply insane.

That thing's firepower and the defensive power of the GN Field are both quite perverted; relying on the Flag clearly can't fight it, so it can only be left to Setsuna.

He equipped the GN Physical Sword just in case, not really wanting to shoot down that kind of thing.

Finally, consider the missions given by the system.

I remember that quite a few people died in this battle on Ptolemaios; if these people could survive, they would all be non-trivial points.

Moreover, after getting along a few times, it was quite pleasant, and he couldn't bear to watch those guys die.

Those clearly, the next stage of the mission is to assist Ptolemaios in defense.

While ensuring his and Shihe's safety, try his best to protect Ptolemaios's safety until Setsuna finishes off that big pig's hoof, Kona.

Quickly replenishing some physical strength, the transport container also welcomed Shihe's Throne Gundam.

"A-Yong, are you okay?"

After completing the Throne's fixation, Shihe communicated to Li Boyong.

"Fine, fine; although I encountered a relatively tricky guy, I managed to handle it." Li Boyong said easily.

"It's good that you're fine; I was very worried about you, so I snatched Lockon's job." Shihe saw that Li Boyong was indeed fine and even snatched a GN Drive back, a smile appearing on her face.

"By the way, A-Yong." Shihe looked at the rising and falling mechanical arms, thinking of Wang Liumei who was operating these mechanical arms, and asked with some heartache: "How is Liumei's situation? Did you notice anything special? I'm a bit worried about her state recently."

"Her?" Speaking of Wang Liumei, Li Boyong also had a headache; he could probably guess some of Wang Liumei's mentality, but he had no clue how to persuade her.

"Although she is still in a relatively normal state in front of people, I estimate that the little guy's heart is very twisted now." Li Boyong muttered, "The person she trusts most now should be you; the matter of helping her untie the knot in her heart can probably only rely on you."

Hearing Li Boyong's analysis, Shihe was silent for a moment, then said: "I will try; I can't watch her be swallowed by hatred. If that happens, the target she hates will likely become this world; I don't want to watch her go down that path."

"Hmm, I will also help as much as I can; it can be considered an explanation to Hong Long." Li Boyong agreed: "But for now, let's focus on the battle in front of us; I estimate the coalition side will have another wave of attacks."

After a pause, Li Boyong showed a smile with some unclear meaning: "Maybe, we will also see that black hand who has been hiding behind the scenes." ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
