Chapter 238: Gundam Seizure Incident (Part 4)

After the scheduled time arrived, the Girty Lue began an attack on the ZAFT military patrol fleet composed of two Nazca-class ships.

Relying on the Mirage Colloid system and fierce firepower, the Girty Lue let one of the Nazca-class ships stage a scene of instant death.

Subsequently, Li Boyong piloted the Gunbarrel Dagger and two Gunner Dagger Ls from his subordinates, sortied from the Girty Lue, and began to attack the escort MS group dispatched from the other Nazca-class ship.

To be honest, originally, his idea for his own machine should have been a Gunbarrel Windam composed of a Windam and an Exus backpack.

It was just that this mission belonged to a classified mission. If he used a Windam openly, it would be equivalent to directly telling ZAFT that it was the Earth military that seized the three Gundams.

Although Li Boyong believed that even if the ZAFT military were fools, they could guess that it was the Earth military that did it, he was helpless that the higher-ups just wanted to leave a fig leaf that could be used for buck-passing.

So it was impossible to allow the appearance of the Earth military's latest machine, the Windam, in this mission. All the machines that sortied were street goods like the Dagger L. Li Boyong used some special privileges, but could only make do with a Slaughter Dagger.

Fortunately, the power of the Gunbarrel backpack modified from the second half of the Exus wasn't affected by the main body. He sortied from the Girty Lue and, with the cooperation of two Gunner Dagger Ls, utilized the Gunbarrel equipment to achieve the battle result of shooting down one CGUE and three GuAIZs.

It had to be said, Spatial Awareness was truly fragrant.

When playing with weapons of the Dragoon type, it was very comfortable.

After solving the escort combat power of the Nazca-class, Li Boyong continued to approach the Nazca-class. At a distance where he could use the mobile Gunbarrel, he released the Gunbarrel again.

While evading the Nazca-class's anti-aircraft fire, he attacked the Nazca-class.

The elusive mobile Gunbarrel was very difficult to be captured by the Nazca-class's anti-aircraft fire, continuously achieving hits on important places like the Nazca-class's engine, main guns, and bridge.

Soon, after two rounds of mobile Gunbarrel attacks, the Nazca-class fell into silence, and the Girty Lue used its main guns to attack, sinking this Nazca-class ship.

"Sorry, gentlemen of the ZAFT military; the current situation doesn't allow me to show mercy."

Looking at the wreckage after the battleship exploded, Li Boyong expressed a superficial apology verbally.

Having solved the patrol fleet outside Armory One, Li Boyong subsequently received a telegram report from the two black Dagger Ls that had snuck into the military port, reporting that they had used a sneak attack to cause large-scale destruction to the military port of Armory One, and the wreckage of several sunken Laurasia-class ships had successfully blocked the entrance and exit of the military port.

The work outside was basically finished. Next, it depended on whether Stella and the others inside could successfully bring the machines out to meet up.

————

Inside Armory One, the fierce battle continued.

The Impulse, under the cover of two ZAKUs, completed the replacement of the Force Silhouette in the air, which was the Force Silhouette with higher mobility.

After completing the replacement, the Impulse immediately occupied the upper hand in the battle within the colonial satellite's atmosphere.

"Almost time to retreat."

Facing the endless enemies, Sting felt that if they didn't retreat, they would really have to explain their lives here.

Although he really wanted to pack the Impulse Gundam, which was an accident in the plan, as a gift and take it back to Neo, it seemed impossible now.

"You guy! Must kill you!"

Stella seemed extremely annoyed by the situation of being occupied by the Impulse Gundam and recklessly continued to engage in dogfighting with light swords with the Impulse.

It had to be said that Stella during combat didn't have the appearance of a little dazed girl at all; she was completely in a crazy cat state.

"Then you die here."

Auel, seeing that Stella seemed to be gradually losing her reason, simply used the forbidden word, "I will help you say goodbye to Neo."

For Stella, the so-called forbidden word referred to the word "die." Every time she heard this word, Stella would lose her will to fight and reason, blindly and crazily seeking survival.

"No... don't... I don't want to die!"

Sure enough, Stella's reason and vigorous fighting will were immediately suppressed by the fear of death. She hurriedly piloted the Gaia and attacked the colonial satellite wall with her beam rifle.

The Abyss and Chaos provided cover while assisting in the destruction of the satellite wall.

The ZAFT side wouldn't just watch others break the satellite wall either, launching fierce interception, and it was another big melee inside the colonial satellite's atmosphere.

And just during the melee, the ZAKU Warrior and red ZAKU Warrior, which had withdrawn from the battle line one after another due to machine damage, landed next to a temporary command post in the rear.

Unfortunately, the command post indicated that the situation at Armory One was currently very chaotic, and it was impossible to accommodate the machines, requiring both machines to go to the Minerva.

And Athrun also learned that the Chairman seemed to have gone to the Minerva to evacuate, so he piloted the machine and flew toward the Minerva. Shihe, seeing this, also piloted her machine to follow.

"Yo, your technique is not bad; thanks for the rescue just now."

Looking at the ZAKU flying in front, Shihe remembered the life-saving grace just now and connected to the other party's communication to express her gratitude.

Athrun felt a few surprises and a few embarrassments at the sudden thanks, but it wasn't good not to respond, so he opened his mouth: "You're welcome."

Shihe heard this and immediately felt that this voice was very familiar. Recalling the figure that looked very much like Athrun she had seen just now, she reacted immediately: "Is the person piloting that ZAKU Athrun?"

Being suddenly identified, Athrun was somewhat surprised, but he quickly reacted that he should have met an old friend. He thought about it in his mind and blurted out: "Shihe Hafunis?"

"Haha, I'm honored that Captain Zala still remembers me." Shihe smiled.

"I really didn't expect to meet you here. We haven't met since Yakin." Athrun said, suddenly remembering his identity, and hurriedly said: "To avoid unnecessary trouble, please don't expose my identity for the time being. I am using a pseudonym to return to PLANT this time."

"Understood." Shihe roughly knew some of Athrun's situation and nodded to agree.

Although he could be considered a hero who stopped the war in the last great war, he was, after all, the son of that Patrick Sara, so it was hard to say anything.

However, Shihe also wanted to know some things and was just about to open her mouth to ask if the Three Ships Alliance Athrun belonged to back then had any news of Li Boyong, when she saw the Minerva was already close at hand.

She had to temporarily suppress the questions in her heart and concentrate on starting the machine's landing.

The two machines landed in the Minerva's hangar one after another. Shihe left the machine, and as soon as she landed, she saw Athrun holding a blonde girl and landing with a lifting rope.

A picture flashed in her mind, and Shihe suddenly remembered the blonde girl who had questioned Athrun in the sea transport plane when she and Athrun were saved by Orb back then. ===== CHAPTER 239 =====
