Chapter 98: Republic of Moralia Military Exercise (Part 2)

The armed intervention began, with four Gundams fighting against a hundred MS.

Despite the massive numerical disparity, the four Gundams held an overwhelming advantage.

Li Boyong watched the battle process at close range from Wang Liumei's villa, gaining a more intuitive understanding of the Gundams' performance in this world, while also learning about some of the combat habits of the four pilots.

Exia Gundam, an extremely high-performance close-combat MS; the excellent mobility granted by the GN Drive allowed the unit to dash into melee range extremely quickly.

Among the currently deployed units, no MS armor could withstand a single strike from the GN Sword.

And Exia's pilot, Setsuna F. Seiei, was a former member of the terrorist organization KPSA; the training he received from a young age made his melee combat ability extremely outstanding, allowing him to fully utilize the unit's characteristics as he dashed into the enemy formation and stirred up a dance of swords.

Dynames Gundam, a sniping unit.

Pilot Lockon Stratos had excellent shooting ability, hitting almost every shot against the cannon fodder.

He piloted the Dynames Gundam to attack the Moralia military airfield, relying on the Gundam's powerful armor to play a sniping unit like a charging sniper, successfully suppressing the airfield.

Kyrios Gundam, a high-mobility unit.

Pilot Alejandro Hallelujah, a former Human Reform League Super Soldier who escaped and drifted through space before being rescued; they had barely managed a "passing acquaintance."

As a former Super Soldier, he possessed extremely outstanding reflexes, which, combined with the high mobility of the Kyrios Gundam, allowed him to continuously shoot down the Moralia air force in aerial combat with overwhelming force.

At the same time, Li Boyong also knew that this guy actually possessed a dual personality. Looking at the plot of both seasons, it could be seen that the other personality, Hallelujah, possessed even greater ability. However, every time he exerted powerful strength at a critical moment, he was a typical representative of someone who wouldn't play unless he was at low health.

Incidentally, his future lover was also a dual personality; despite being two people, they could form four combinations of CP. Just thinking about it felt very exciting...

Finally, there was the Virtue Gundam, a heavy-firepower unit.

The unit's design was relatively extreme; equipped with a GN Field and additional GN Capacitors, the Virtue Gundam possessed extremely strong firepower and defensive capabilities, at the cost of poor mobility.

Pilot Tieria Erde, an Innovade created by Veda, gender unknown, a permission-dog.

He piloted the Virtue Gundam to suppress another military airfield. The Moralia army and the AEU dispatched army surrounded the Virtue and poured fire into it, but couldn't even penetrate the GN Field. Then, the fully charged Virtue swept across with a single shot, instantly vaporizing several cannon fodder units.

Seeing this through the tactical screen, Li Boyong couldn't help but click his tongue and quip, "Hey, hey, this really is 'subduing people with virtue'."

Among the many people present, Wang Liumei was the first to react to Li Boyong's quip. Always dignified, she pursed her lips and couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

There was no help for it; Li Boyong's quip had unexpectedly hit her funny bone.

Seeing everyone's gaze focus on her, Wang Liumei, who hadn't changed her expression even when facing the questioning of so many Observers, showed a trace of slight embarrassment.

"Ahem."

Wang Liumei coughed lightly, composed her expression, and then glared at Li Boyong, who had caused her to lose her composure by speaking nonsense in such a serious setting.

Shihe also glanced at Li Boyong, seemingly blaming him for making Wang Liumei look bad.

Blame me?

Li Boyong curled his lips, feeling a bit sad. His own Shihe was actually standing on the same side as Wang Liumei. It seemed Wang Liumei had been licking Shihe very comfortably during this time.

"First phase over, each unit is transferring to the next phase of the mission."

At this moment, the pink-haired Feldt Grace reported the battle situation to Sumeragi, which eased the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

On the screen, the four Gundams began to move again after resolving the enemies in front of them, preparing to pair up and head to the next location. The battle was temporarily over.

As the on-site commander, Sumeragi also breathed a sigh of relief. After looking around, she turned to Li Boyong and asked, "As an excellent pilot, what do you think of the performance of the four of them?"

"???"

Li Boyong was a bit strange; why did she suddenly ask him this question?

"Just consider it casual chat." Sumeragi laughed, "I also want to hear your opinion."

She had reviewed Li Boyong's combat data and knew that besides his excellent piloting skills, he also displayed extremely sharp tactical intuition.

To be honest, she had once felt a heartbeat for Li Boyong.

Of course, the heartbeat here referred to having him replace one of the existing Gundam Meisters and become a Gundam pilot, but she gave up after considering the overall situation.

But this did not hinder her appreciation for Li Boyong; after all, in the space station detachment incident, he had predicted that she would use the Dynames for ground-to-space sniping. And he had personally helped Hallelujah, preventing the leak of this powerful weapon.

As for why Li Boyong, who was only level one, would know about the Dynames' sniping ability, she glanced obscurely at Wang Liumei, feeling that she shouldn't point out this act of leaking secrets.

"Then I'll just say a few words."

As a pilot who had experienced the Second Battle of Jachin Due, he felt he had some say in this regard.

"It's clear that the four of them still lack actual combat experience. Although everyone has some small shortcomings of one kind or another, it's nothing major." Li Boyong commented casually, "All four possess excellent potential. If they experience a few more life-and-death battles, they can all become excellent pilots."

Wow...

Christina Sierra, who was operating the instruments, stuck out her tongue slightly, seemingly a bit dissatisfied with Li Boyong's casual commentary.

After all, she was relatively familiar with the four Gundam Meisters in their daily life on the Ptolemaios. In her eyes, the four Gundam Meisters were all excellent enough pilots.

Now that Li Boyong was commenting on the four Gundam Meisters with such a "been there, done that" tone, it made her feel he was being arrogant.

This was no wonder, as she hadn't read Li Boyong's data like Sumeragi had.

"Can you be more specific?" Sumeragi pressed.

Seeing that Sumeragi seemed to value Li Boyong's opinion, everyone present subconsciously cast their gaze toward Li Boyong.

Li Boyong cautiously organized his thoughts, careful not to let himself say things he shouldn't know.

After all, the information about Gundam pilots was highly classified level-seven information; if he let it slip, it might cause unnecessary suspicion.

Combining what he knew of the plot and what he had observed so far, he stated his judgment.

"Simply put, the pilot of the Dynames Gundam has excellent ability in all aspects. Whether it's piloting technique or tactical judgment, he is the most mature of the four at this stage and can be cultivated as a captain or leader figure."

"The pilot of the Virtue Gundam is too rigid. Although his ability isn't bad, I always feel his next move is easy to guess, and he seems very reliant on the unit's performance."

"The pilot of the Exia Gundam has excellent melee skills, but his shooting skills are relatively poor. The unit's movements are considered decisive, but sometimes they are too direct, making it easier for veterans to predict."

"Finally, there's the pilot of the Kyrios Gundam. His technique isn't bad, and his reactions are fast, but as can be seen from the previous incident, he is someone who is easily impulsive and emotional."

In just a few words, Li Boyong spoke extremely fast, yet he summarized the strengths and weaknesses of each Gundam Meister simply, and what he said was well-founded, making people subconsciously believe him.

Feldt and Christina looked at each other, both showing surprised expressions, feeling that this guy's assessment was quite accurate.

Wang Liumei and Hong Long were also somewhat surprised. They didn't doubt Li Boyong's ability, but felt that the way he looked when serious was quite reliable, a far cry from his usual rogue appearance.

As for Shihe and Sumeragi, they weren't surprised at all. Shihe knew Li Boyong well and knew what he looked like when he was serious.

And Sumeragi believed in her own judgment of Li Boyong's ability. ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
