Chapter 176 (Chapter 2) Annihilate the enemy in order to prevent pursuit?
After successfully blasting Thunder Gundam's head monitor with the head Vulcan cannon.
The Air Combat Strike Gundam also took the opportunity to kick Thunder Gundam away, and cut off the hook lock of Thunder Gundam's claw anchor with the beam of beam boomerang in his left hand.
"Nicole!?"
As Aslan exclaimed, the Air Combat Strike Gundam raised the beam gun in its hand, and wanted to make up for it.But it was blocked by the roaring Aslan controlling the Holy Shield Gundam.
"Kira, stop!!!"
A thick red light beam shot from the side of the Air Combat Strike Gundam, and the Air Combat Strike Gundam had to dodge.
"Aslan, calm down, I just want to disarm Thunder Gundam."
After replying to Aslan in the common frequency, Lin Youde controlled the air combat Strike Gundam and put down the beam rifle in his hand.Turn around and rush to the inside of the fortress.
"Take your friends and go. In the current state of Thunder Gundam, there is no way to continue fighting. For his safety, retreat, Aslan."
After speaking, the Air Combat Strike Gundam rushed to the port.Picking up a bunch of obviously supplies, he turned and flew towards the Archangel, which was about to fly out of the port.
Seeing the air combat Strike Gundam turn around and leave, it looked defenseless at all.The Aegis Gundam, which had changed back to MS form, raised the beam rifle in its hand and pointed it at the back of the Air Combat Strike Gundam, aiming for several seconds, but failed to shoot the beam.
"hateful!"
In the cockpit of the Aegis Gundam, Aslan punched the console.
Nicole: "Aslan..."
Without saying a word, Aslan controlled the Holy Shield Gundam and dragged the damaged Thunder Gundam to fly out.
Seeing that Aslan was so silent, Nicole comforted him, "Aslan, I think this is actually good."
Aslan raised his head slightly: "Nicole?"
Nicole said with a smile: "In this way, don't we have a legitimate reason to retreat?"
"Also, Kira may not be able to escape."
"Don't forget, the captain, Yitzhak, and Diego are all outside. There are other people who came to support before."
"There are so many people around, no matter how powerful Kira is, he can't fly with his wings, right?"
"As long as the captain, Yitzhak, and Diego work harder, I believe that Kira and Strike Gundam will be captured."
"It might hurt a little. But we won't have to fight him after all, will we?"
"Think about it. At least, we have broken through a cosmic fortress of the Earth Union. It's not like we didn't do anything. I believe the captain will not blame us."
Aslan's remorseful expression gradually relaxed, and after a long time, Aslan replied, "Thank you, Nicole."
Nicole smiled and said, "Aren't we partners? That's what it should be. Besides, I think Aslan, you'd better quickly drag my Thunder Gundam out."
"Lost the view of the main monitor now, in a fortress facility that is so damaged that it could explode at any moment. I don't always feel safe."
Aslan settled down: "That's right, let's retreat first. Our mission has been completed, and then we will leave it to the captain and the others..."
Aegis Gundam and Thunder Gundam leave the battlefield.
But outside the Artemis Fortress, inside the bridge of the Archangel just after sailing out of the port, Maliu and the others found the two warships of the ZAFT army shown on the radar.
Mirialia: "At 3 o'clock, I found a battleship-level reaction, the number is 2. It's the ZAFT army!"
Natal was shocked: "Artemis fell like this? It's so simple..."
Maru was very calm, because she had already thought of this possibility in the communication with Lin Youde and Mu before.
As one of the relevant personnel involved in the manufacture of 5 Gundams.Maru also has some understanding of Thunder Gundam's abilities.It's just that as a non-combat professional, her association speed is not as fast as Lin Youde.
But after Lin Youde reminded her, she also thought of Thunder Gundam's mirage system, which could escape Artemis' monitoring.Sneak into the surface of the fortress secretly and destroy the generator of the Lightwave Defense Shield, which is known as the absolute defense in the United Earth Army.
As long as Thunder Gundam destroys the generating devices of these light wave defense shields, it is not surprising that Artemis Fortress will be invaded and attacked.
The reason why this matter was not told to Natal was that the three of them were worried that Natal would tell the defenders of Artemis about it.
It's not that he intends to deceive his allies on purpose, but he deliberately keeps a hand for his own safety.
If the defenders of Artemis treat each other with courtesy, Maliu and Mu are ready to inform the other side that the ZAFT army will use the Thunderbolt Gundam's mirage system to hide the body and avoid the detection of various radars, thereby launching a surprise attack. . (Note 1)
It's a pity that Artemis detained the three of them, and sent people to steal the data of Strike Gundam and Archangel.
Since the other party is not a human being, it can't be blamed for their secrecy, which led to the breach of the fortress.
Going through the previous events in her mind, Maru replied calmly.
"Turn around and evacuate from the Artemis Fortress at full speed. Mu immediately uses the Mebius zero attack to block the pursuit of ZAFT's army together with Kira-kun."
As he said that, Maru exhaled lightly: "Fortunately, ZAFT's army appeared on the back of the Artemis Fortress. Artemis Fortress is blocking it, as long as the attack of the MS is blocked. The battleship wants to chase It might not be that easy to come up. The Archangel is the latest high-speed battleship."
Natal turned around and looked at Maru in surprise: "At this time, we are going to send out the Mebius Zero Type? Captain, what are you thinking? Shouldn't you take the opportunity to recover the Strike Gundam at this time, and then retreat?"
It seemed that Natal was annoyed by the attitude of the Eurasian Federation officer before, but she didn't say anything to stay and help the friendly army.Just surprised by Maru's arrangement.
Maru shook her head: "That's what Kira-kun meant. According to him, only if the mobile suits of ZAFT's army are disabled, they will not easily pursue them."
"And this time the number of ZAFT's pursuit has obviously increased. If we don't take advantage of the resistance of the friendly forces from the Artemis Fortress, we can disperse the opponent's pursuers and attack them one by one."
"The next thing we have to face is the ZAFT army, which has an absolutely overwhelming advantage in numbers."
"Once there are too many, even Kira-kun may not be able to bear it."
"So, we need to annihilate some of them here."
The corner of Natal's mouth twitched slightly: "Annihilate part of the enemy army? Just rely on one Strike Gundam?"
In the shared channel, Mu shouted: "Hey, Natal, have you forgotten me, isn't there still me here?"

Note 1·PS: Explain the function of the mirage system for readers who do not understand.
Mirage System: A unique optical camouflage system in the SEED world.The effect is that the body will be invisible for a certain period of time, and the radar will not respond, but the price is that the use time is limited and the effect of phase transfer armor cannot be exerted when used.
In the original book, the fortress was defeated by relying on Thunder Gundam's "mirage system" to avoid detection, thereby breaking Artemis' light wave defense shield device.
The light wave defense shield is a barrier known as the absolute defense effect in the world of Gundam SEED. It can resist live ammunition and beam attacks. It has a strong defense ability, but consumes a lot of energy. In the early stage, only the fortress can install it.
