Chapter 312
Space area around the first relay point.
The Archangel started to exchange fire with the Logos remnants; the first positron cannon shot aimed at the first relay point's engine, and as Natarle expected, it was blocked by the Euclid squad belonging to the remnants using a positron barrier.
The remnants' command beautifully predicted the Archangel's shelling, but it also caused the MS unit to lose the defensive cover of the Euclid squad.
The 24 Daggers of eight squads, in the long-range head-on exchange, were actually shot down by three machines by the powerful Full Armor Raider and Abyss.
The highly mobile Gaia and Chaos broke into the formation, disrupting the formation of the Dagger fleet.
At this time, the subsequent Actaeon Project series machines on the Archangel side joined the fire support, and nine Gundam-types directly suppressed the 24 Daggers.
It was not just the gap in machine performance; the gap in pilot skills was also quite obvious.
By the time the Euclid squad wobbled back to the front line, the poor Dagger fleet only had seven machines left.
"How is it possible; the engagement only started five minutes ago, and seventeen Daggers were shot down." The captain of the Euclid squad was directly numb.
How can we fight this! Are the Gundams all monsters?
At this time, he noticed the four Daggers newly departed from the Archangel and the Meteor Breakers they were carrying.
"Calling the bridge, the other side is preparing to use Meteor Breakers to cut the first relay point; hurry and let the Daedalus Base send reinforcements, otherwise hurry and let the base open fire!" The squad leader deployed a barrier to provide cover for the remaining friendly forces while hurriedly calling the fleet.
"Don't panic; although the situation is unfavorable for us, we still have a trump card!" The fleet commander was also shocked by the friendly war damage, but thinking of the trump card in his hand, he could barely maintain composure: "Contact Ian Lee, the big fish has taken the bait!"
Near the engagement space area, on the Girty Lue, which had been lurking using the Mirage Colloid system, Captain Ian Lee received the contact from the first relay point garrison.
"It really came!" Ian Lee, the captain who fought alongside Li Boyong in the Armory One incident, chose to stand on the opposite side of Li Boyong this time.
Being relatively familiar with Li Boyong, he judged that Li Boyong would take the first relay point as the first target, so he commanded the Girty Lue to lurk in the surrounding space area.
Sure enough, he waited for the opportunity.
"Gottfried 1 to 6 fire simultaneously, target the enemy Archangel; at the same time as firing, deactivate the Mirage Colloid system, MS team sortie."
In the dark universe, six deadly beams suddenly fired, shooting toward the unprepared Archangel; the alarm sound of being locked onto rang crazily on the Archangel's bridge.
"Anti-beam depth charges, irregular maneuvering."
Facing the sudden situation, Natarle only had time to say two short orders before feeling the entire hull tremble—it was hit!
"Confirm situation!"
"Yes, one missed, three were blocked by depth charges, two hit directly."
"Laminated armor temperature rising, right Valiant destroyed, tail right main engine hit and disabled."
"Confirm enemy warship Girty Lue, enemy ship sorties MS, 4 Daggers, 4 Dagger Ls, 1 Euclid."
Hearing the report, Natarle realized she had been calculated; thanks to the laminated armor, fortunately, this sneak attack didn't take them out in one wave, and she started to respond: "Recall the Actaeon series, the frontal enemy is handed over to the vanguard troops, let the Dagger troops stay away from the engagement; there is no spare capacity to protect them now."
At the same time, Li Boyong also observed the situation of the Archangel being hit: "Caught in a pincer attack... Girty Lue?"
Afterward, he received the information from the Archangel: Actaeon series returning to defense.
"Sven, I'll leave the Archangel to you; no matter what, you must ensure the safety of the warship."
"Hmm, Sven." The poker-faced silver-haired man nodded, piloted the Strike Noir to return to defense, followed by the Actaeon series machines.
"Yulan, leave the Archangel to us; you go sneak attack the Girty Lue; just being beaten passively won't work." On the way back to defense, Sven made a deployment based on the situation.
The MS troops sortied by the Girty Lue were not many; four Actaeon series were enough to deal with them, but the Girty Lue would become the biggest threat to the Archangel.
"Understood." The poker-faced Yulan agreed with this judgment and piloted the Nero Blitz to hide her figure.
The engagement continued, both sides made new deployments based on the battlefield situation, a flash strike turned into an ambush, and the Archangel was still the side being ambushed.
But fortunately, the strength of the Archangel side was strong, and they had significantly weakened the remnants of the relay point garrison in the short time before the Girty Lue appeared; otherwise, with the Archangel's engine damaged, the remnants' MS troops could have completely swarmed up and traded for the Archangel.
After the Actaeon series returned to defense, the ambush quickly turned into an offensive and defensive battle.
The MS carried on the Girty Lue were undoubtedly the elites in Phantom Pain, but the four Actaeon series were originally the elites of the elites in Phantom Pain, plus the gap in machine performance, they didn't fall behind at all.
If it weren't for worrying about the Archangel, which had lost part of its power, they could even have counter-killed.
The fierce offensive and defensive battle lasted for six minutes; Li Boyong's vanguard troops, after a fierce battle, solved the Euclid squad.
Under the cover of the three small strong ones, he piloted the Full Armor Raider and used the ship-slicing blade to cut all these turtle shells that were immune to long-range beam weapons into two sections.
It could only be said that the ship-slicing blade was indeed easy to use; no wonder the Destiny Gundam at this stage in the original work could obtain excellent battle results.
"I'll deal with the warship; recall the Dagger formation and leave it to you to cover." The Full Armor Raider transformed into MA form and quickly approached the remnants' fleet.
"MS, MA wiped out, enemy machine Full Armor Raider approaching this ship!"
On the bridge of the Agamemnon-class, the scout's sharp cry that was almost like a funeral report rang out.
You say, can you not be afraid?
In less than twenty minutes of engagement, the MS and MA troops were wiped out, the ambush failed to achieve results, and the monster on the opposite side holding a "40-meter big machete" was coming straight for them.
"Prepare for anti-MS combat, all fleet firepower intercept, don't let the enemy machine approach!" The fleet commander was still issuing textbook-like orders; unfortunately, it didn't play any role in the situation.
Although Li Boyong's combat attribute was not high, and he would likely lose if he fought with swords against people like Kira or Shinn, there was absolutely no problem using the ship-slicing blade to deal with a warship.
Twenty-three seconds; from the time the Full Armor Raider invaded the fleet's short-range firepower net, only twenty-three seconds passed before Li Boyong stabbed the ship-slicing blade into the bridge of the Agamemnon-class.
The silence of the flagship and the gap in the firepower net accelerated the speed at which the remaining warships were destroyed.
"It's over." Girty Lue's captain Ian Lee saw this and knew it was time to run: "MS team return, after accommodation is completed, the warship activates the Mirage Colloid system and returns to the Daedalus Base; here we still have a chance for revenge."
Beep beep beep beep...
A sharp alarm sound suddenly rang on the bridge of the Girty Lue.
"It's the Nero Blitz..."
The scout didn't have time to report; the Nero Blitz, which had been sneaking over with the Mirage Colloid system activated all the way, had already used the 3-barreled ultra-high-speed kinetic penetrator to pierce through the bridge of the Girty Lue.
I should have known not to be greedy; if the first shot had aimed at the Meteor Breaker, at least I could have achieved the strategic goal...
Ian Lee sighed unwillingly before death.
The Girty Lue went silent, the first relay point battle entered its final phase, and the MS troops belonging to the Archangel started to mop up the battlefield.
The Dagger team quickly started installing the Meteor Breakers, and with explosions everywhere, the first relay point was completely divided.
