Chapter 242: Pursuit and Ambush (Part 2)

The duel between the Minerva and the Lesseps was about to begin, and Li Boyong prepared to ambush the Minerva according to the same plan as the original story.

The Lesseps lured the Minerva into a sector with many rocks and obstacles. After the three Gundams launched in silence, they fired grappling anchors to latch onto an asteroid, simultaneously launched decoys, and then shut down their engines to use the asteroid to circle behind the Minerva and attack.

The three Gundams that had set off earlier lay in ambush on the path the Minerva's MS unit would inevitably take to pursue the decoys, pinning down the Minerva's MS unit.

To be honest, knowing the final outcome, Li Boyong could actually make some changes to the plan to increase the chances of sinking the Minerva.

However, he wasn't very interested in sinking the Minerva. Although that would kill that fox-man Chairman Durandal, it would also implicate Cagalli and Athrun, who were on that ship.

Besides, for Li Boyong, if he wanted to overthrow the detestable LOGOS, he still needed the Chairman's help.

And the Destiny Plan of the future was a good thing. Without the Destiny Plan, how would everyone stand up and resist the great hero who cleared out LOGOS, Chairman Durandal?

Calculating some things, Li Boyong entered the hangar and boarded the Gunbarrel Dagger.

Everything proceeded as it did in the story. The Minerva sent out its MS unit to pursue the decoys, only to be ambushed by the three Gundams.

And the Lesseps circled behind the Minerva right on time, unleashing a fierce barrage of artillery fire.

The Minerva's firepower was basically concentrated in the front; if it got caught by the tail, it couldn't bring its firepower to bear at all. But facing an ambush, it couldn't turn around directly and could only rely on the terrain of the asteroid's surface to evade the fire.

Although they had achieved an excellent advantage, the Minerva's countermeasures also made it impossible for the Lesseps to inflict effective damage.

At this moment, the Gunbarrel Dagger and two Gunner Daggers L sortied from the Lesseps, preparing to deliver the final blow to the Minerva.

Of course, Li Boyong didn't have any thoughts about that.

He was just preparing to slack off with the Zaku Phantom that was about to come out, and then...

"Hmm, something is wrong!"

Li Boyong looked strangely at the signals on the radar. A Zaku Phantom and a Ginn came out of the Minerva?

What was this situation?

Was it another butterfly effect he triggered, causing a small change?

He remembered that there shouldn't be this thing in this scene.

Thinking absentmindedly, Li Boyong's three-machine squad began to exchange fire with the Zaku Phantom and the Ginn.

"You two deal with the Ginn, leave the Zaku to me."

Li Boyong issued an order, handing the extra Ginn to his subordinates while he dealt with the more troublesome Zaku.

But what he didn't know was what a miserable domestic violence scene he was about to face.

Gunbarrel Dagger versus Zaku Phantom. It had to be said that Rey was worthy of being a clone of Mu's father, just like Rau Le Creuset; his reactions and techniques were quite outstanding, but he seemed to lack experience.

Especially in the rock battle, Li Boyong quickly suppressed Rey's Zaku Phantom.

The alternating attacks of the main body and the mobile gunbarrels forced the opponent to constantly maneuver to evade and use the rocks for cover.

However, precisely because it was a rock battle, it seemed impossible to achieve an effective hit for the time being.

The battle here was evenly matched, but the two Gunner Daggers L encountered the Ginn piloted by Shihe.

Although the Ginn was an old-style unit, as a weapon developed early on with the idea of local defense, its special dual-wing thrusters and multi-attitude control thrusters gave the unit quite impressive mobility in space.

The battlefield was also in a rock belt that Shihe was extremely adept at, allowing her to exert extremely powerful combat capability.

Facing the alternating fire of the two Gunner Daggers L, Shihe skillfully piloted the Ginn, dodging attacks with unpredictable maneuvering trajectories while charging toward the Gunner Daggers L.

"Damn it... why can't I hit it?"

Because all their firepower missed, the Phantom Pain pilot felt a trace of fear creep into their voice as they looked at the pressure given by the Ginn that was getting closer and closer.

Fear caused their thinking to become rigid. It wasn't until the Ginn approached to extremely close range that the Phantom Pain pilot reacted and realized they needed to start evading and let their teammate provide fire cover.

But it was already too late.

Approaching to a distance where she had full confidence, the Ginn raised its machine gun and began to sweep. Calling it a sweep might not be accurate, because a string of bullets basically hit that Dagger L.

Even if it wasn't a beam, the Dagger L couldn't withstand so many live rounds at this range; it was directly beaten into a honeycomb and then became a ball of fire exploding in the rock pile.

"Damn it, go to hell!"

Seeing this, the other Phantom Pain pilot wanted to avenge their teammate. The Dagger L's beam rifle and two recoilless cannons fired at the Ginn one after another.

Unfortunately, they didn't hit anything. The pilot, controlled by anger, lost their field of vision in the continuous shooting and failed to notice that the Ginn had already circled around from the side.

The Ginn rushed out quickly from behind a rock, drew its beam assault sword, and flashed past the side of this Dagger L, cutting the enemy unit in half at the waist.

In less than three minutes, the two Gunner Daggers L lost their signals one after another, giving Li Boyong a fright.

Hey, hey, hey, this is too fast, right?

Did that guy Athrun come out?

Shouldn't that guy be piloting a Zaku?

And it shouldn't be repaired yet, right!

Besides, even if you have extra Ginns on the Minerva, is it really okay to just hand over the unit to the son of Patrick Zala, who has already been expelled from the country?

Although it's just a Ginn, and although I'm also at fault for pushing you to such a desperate situation, why treat me like this?

This feeling of being shut out and having a 2887 released on me is very uncomfortable, and the pressure is very high.

While complaining with a lot of inner drama, Li Boyong intensified the rhythm of his attack on the Zaku Phantom.

Just kidding, being caught in a pincer attack by Rey and Athrun in this situation, one might flip the car if not careful; better to finish one off quickly.

Li Boyong continued to control the mobile gunbarrels to besiege Rey's Zaku Phantom, while he himself maneuvered the main body to the shadow of a rock; this was the inevitable path for the Zaku's evasive maneuvers.

Although the mobile gunbarrels' attacks were all dodged, under Li Boyong's deliberate guidance and siege, Rey's Zaku Phantom indeed headed toward this side.

When approaching to a suitable attack distance, Li Boyong maneuvered the main body to rush out and fired three cold shots.

It had to be said that Rey's reaction and response were already very fast; the first two shots were dodged alertly, but he ultimately couldn't dodge the third, which hit his leg.

The beam melted the armor and pierced through the entire thigh; the Zaku Phantom had its right leg destroyed.

Cause and effect have retribution, the Dao has reincarnation.

Back at Jachin Due, he was almost killed by Rau Le Creuset using Dragoons; now, using mobile gunbarrels to bully Rey, a fellow of Rau Le Creuset, Li Boyong felt his thoughts were clear.

So, should he just finish off one of the important henchmen of that old fox right here? ===== CHAPTER 243 =====
