Chapter 304

The bigwigs of Logos were about to reach their end; the unit responsible for storming the command center would not leave a single survivor.

After all, behind this battle lay a life-or-death political struggle.

The past radical actions of Logos had led to a very clear consensus among the faction Li Boyong belonged to: they must absolutely not give Logos any chance to strike back.

In the underground command post, following a burst of intense gunfire, silence...

The big shots who once could make the Earth tremble didn't even have time to utter a plea for mercy before they became ghosts under the guns.

Meanwhile, at the secret underwater port of the Heaven's Base, an Earth Alliance submarine was quietly preparing to leave the harbor.

In the VIP seat of the submarine, Djibril, who felt relieved that his escape had succeeded, put away his panicked expression and haughtily snorted, "Just a bunch of guys holding me back."

"Ditching those guys who fail more than they succeed here isn't necessarily a bad thing." Seeing the submarine captain's gaze drawn to him, he feigned relaxation. "You are my confidant, so I might as well tell you. Losing this place is no big deal; as long as I reach the Moon, everything will be over."

"Ye... yes, Lord Djibril." The captain hurriedly chimed in tactfully. "Under your wise leadership, the Alliance forces will surely be able to defeat the Coordinators and those traitors of the Earth Alliance."

"Hmph, that traitor of a Natural, I will definitely grind his bones to dust." Mentioning this, Djibril couldn't help but think of Li Boyong's detestable face, and his face, which had just regained its elegance, twisted again. "It's laughable that this traitor calculated everything, even going so far as to fawn over the Coordinators, yet I still escaped easily."

"Ye... yes." Faced with this "Huarong Trail" style of speech from Djibril, the captain suddenly felt an ominous premonition for some reason.

Sure enough, the panicked voice of the sonar operator soon rang out on the bridge, "Captain! Sonar contact, 11 o'clock direction, one MS!"

"Impossible, at this depth, an MS would have been crushed flat long ago!" The submarine captain hurriedly and subconsciously refuted his subordinate's report.

"This wavelength... it's the Abyss!!!"

But soon, the sonar operator's report made things even more desperate.

At this depth, the MS carried by the submarine had no way to sortie. Just as the captain hesitated whether to let the submarine surface to a depth where the MS could sortie...

Djibril could no longer keep up the act and shouted at the submarine captain, "Hey, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and respond! I cannot die in a place like this, unknown to anyone."

The captain now had no time to care about Djibril's attitude—treating him as a confidant one second and a dog the next—and began issuing orders: "Torpedo tubes one and two, load! Target the Abyss. After firing, the submarine will perform an emergency ascent to a height where the MS can sortie. At the same time, tubes three and four, prepare anti-torpedo torpedoes."

The Abyss Gundam, which had also detected the submarine, approached the submarine rapidly under the control of its pilot, Auel.

"Ha, looks like I've hooked a big fish. That guy Neo, he really predicted it."

Auel, who had been bored to the point of depression since the start of the battle, instantly perked up. "As long as I take care of this big guy, no one in this world will ever be able to disturb the happy life of me and Kasa again."

Li Boyong had long anticipated Djibril's escape; naturally, he couldn't let this guy go and wreak havoc on Orb again, giving ZAFT a reason to attack their ally, Orb.

During the preparations for the Heaven's Base offensive, he had learned the specific location of the secret submarine port at the Heaven's Base through the intelligence network established by Wang Liumei.

I have to say, this location was truly a bit tricky. Although submarines could safely navigate at that depth, it was not a depth that ordinary mass-produced underwater MS could reach.

Even for the newly launched Verde Buster, this was a very dangerous and barely manageable depth. The only unit that had undergone technical verification and could successfully conduct combat at this depth was the Abyss Gundam.

Therefore, before the Heaven's Base offensive began, Li Boyong had planned to arrange for the Abyss Gundam to complete the mission of sniping Djibril on the seabed.

To this end, during the pre-battle mobilization, Li Boyong made use of Auel's "mother-complex" trait to perform quite a bit of brainwashing. Of course, it wasn't using Enhanced Human control technology, but rather verbal "pep talks."

Let us pull our perspective back to the seabed.

The Abyss Gundam approached rapidly. After the submarine hurriedly fired two torpedoes at the Abyss Gundam, it immediately began an emergency ascent.

Seeing the submarine's clumsy ascent, Auel revealed a mocking smile. "Too late! Just like a drowning whale, so stupid."

The Abyss Gundam performed a spiral roll in the water, easily dodging the two torpedoes, and fired four high-speed guided torpedoes carried on its shoulders toward the submarine.

Facing this wave of attacks, the submarine hurriedly fired the two prepared anti-torpedo torpedoes.

Although they intercepted two torpedoes, the resulting explosion also successfully interfered with the path of another torpedo. However, one torpedo still broke through the interception and struck the tail of the submarine.

Inside the struck submarine, after a violent shake, red warning lights began to flash throughout the interior.

"How can this be? I can't die here, I can't die here."

Djibril's small face turned as pale as a dead man's. He hurriedly grabbed the captain's shoulders, making hollow promises and desperately hindering the captain from issuing damage control orders. "As long as you get me out safely, I guarantee you can become the Commander-in-Chief of the Earth Alliance Navy in the future!"

But unfortunately, from the moment the Abyss Gundam ambushed this submarine, the outcome was already sealed.

MS-sized torpedoes were not enough to destroy this submarine in one hit, but they caused sufficient damage.

The high-speed advancing Abyss Gundam was like a heavy-armored knight of the Middle Ages. The beam lance on the back of the unit in MA form carved a huge gash into the side of the submarine as the Abyss Gundam passed by.

Under the terrifying water pressure, a large amount of seawater rushed in, destroying the submarine's structure, causing it to lose the ability to surface, and finally, while sinking, it was slowly compressed into a lump of scrap metal.

Djibril, this last man of Logos, a big shot who once could secretly control the Earth Alliance, disappeared into the depths of this ocean, taking his ambitions with him.

Soon, the Abyss Gundam, having completed its combat objective, immediately surfaced and transmitted this news to Li Boyong through the command system.

"I suppose that's a conclusion." Li Boyong in the Full Armor Raider sighed. "Dust to dust, earth to earth."

Logos, which once controlled the Earth Alliance, finally became the dust of history. Unfortunately, as long as humanity still possesses desire, similar organizations will eventually make a comeback one day.

But these things had nothing much to do with Li Boyong. Once the strategic objectives of the Battle of Heaven's Base were all achieved, he now only wanted to contact his Shihe.

Dancing on a grave...
