Chapter 365: The Universe Heading Towards Dawn
In the second attack, Orb won a great victory. Everyone was very excited because the god of war in their hearts led them to victory. Even if the MS troops were transferred away, even if the main force of the enemy arrived, the enemy still did not capture Izanagi Port, and Orb was still as tall as a pine tree!
But this joy soon disappeared without a trace, because all the remaining troops received orders to remove the defense line, tanks and planes sank into the sea, and the navy fleet was not allowed to attack again, waiting for orders to surrender to the Earth Army.
"Why? Why should we surrender?"
"Aren't we the winners? The two attacks of the Earth Army were repelled, and the next one will definitely be possible!"
"No matter how many times it is, we would rather die than surrender!"
"Shut up!"
Faced with the questioning of the grassroots soldiers, the commanders of each unit shouted to stop them. As commanders, they were not as naive as the grassroots soldiers, thinking that they could defeat the Atlantic Federation by repelling one or two attacks.
First, there was a shortage of supplies. Orb's remaining supplies had run out. Even if they could survive the third attack by chance, what about the fourth? What about the fifth? How can we fight without supplies?
Second, the Atlantic Federation did not go all out to deal with them. The number of troops attacking was quite large, but this was only the third and fourth fleets of the Atlantic Federation. Even if they could be completely destroyed, what would happen? What about the first and second fleets? What about the fifth and sixth fleets? As long as the Atlantic Federation has not been destroyed, they can send troops to reinforce it continuously, and Orb's troops are getting fewer and fewer. When everyone is dead, it will also fall.
Third, the Atlantic Federation is just a component of the Earth Union. If the Atlantic Federation is defeated, what about the Eurasian Federation? What about the East Asian Republic? Even if Orb has aroused their fear now, if the Atlantic Federation is defeated, other member states will definitely not sit idly by.
Fourth, don't forget that ZAFT is still eyeing them. If they defeat the Atlantic Federation and the Earth Union, how much resistance will Orb have left to face ZAFT?
Although they are all very unwilling, there is no way. In this battle, Orb will definitely lose. There is no possibility of winning. It can only preserve its strength and seek a new life.
Unlike the orders received by other troops, the Archangel and the remaining Special Forces First Squadron went to [Kaguya], which is the mass accelerator of Orb, and Uzumi told them the next order in person.
"Withdraw from Orb? Do you want us to escape, Mr. Uzumi?" Malu asked Uzumi in disbelief.
"I think everyone can see that it is only a matter of time before Orb falls."
"Father... Father, what are you talking about? Didn't we repel the attack of the Earth Army again? Yang Hui is so powerful, he will definitely..." After witnessing Yang Hui's dominance on the battlefield driving the Dawn Gundam, she was full of confidence and believed that Orb would definitely win the final victory, but she didn't expect that this confidence was shattered by Uzumi not long after it was born.
"It's impossible. Yang Hui is also a human being. He will get tired, and the remaining supplies are not enough to support us to fight off the next attack." Uzumi explained to everyone. Of course, he was actually explaining to Cagalli. The people present, Maru, Bakilulu, Mu, Kira, Aslan, Diego, and Nicol, should all see this problem clearly.
"But... but..."
"Fortunately, the people all evacuated the homeland before the war, and their lives can be guaranteed in the future. We will bear the blame in the future."
"This..."
"But, even if Orb falls, we must defend some things. Behind the Earth Army stands the leader of [Blue Cosmos], Murta Aznael, and according to the information collected by Yang Hui and others, there are even darker conspirators behind [Blue Cosmos]; and the current PLANT is also controlled by Patrick Sara, who advocates that the adjuster is a new species. If this continues, the world will be in chaos. The world will fall into endless disputes under the control of two forces that do not agree with each other and the real mastermind behind the scenes. Are you willing to accept such a future?
If you still have another future in your eyes, then carry the little fire here and set off towards it.
Although the road ahead is full of thorns, I believe you understand my choice, which is also the choice of all of us present. "
Everyone lowered their heads, a little afraid to look directly at Uzmi's eyes. They all knew what kind of treatment those who stayed would suffer. Orb had caused huge losses to the Atlantic Federation, and the other party would not let it go.
"By the way! Isn't there Yang Hui? He must be able to think of a way! Where is Yang Hui? Why is he not here?" Cagalli suddenly asked.
"Yang Hui still has things he needs to do. Okay, you guys should get ready."
Everyone dispersed, Archangel and Kusanagi were arranged in order on [Kaguya], waiting to use the mass accelerator to go directly to the universe. Because the Atlantic Federation's troops had been severely damaged, there was no need for Archangel to take such risks and use Kusanagi's backup booster, let alone use the electromagnetic interference generated by [Lohengrin] to further accelerate.
Similarly, except for the Dawn Gundam, all MS boarded Archangel or Kusanagi.
"Let's stay and help."
"That's right, Freedom and Justice have the ability to fly. Although the Atlantic Federation's troops have been basically crippled, we don't know if they still have reserve troops. If you are alone..."
Kira and Aslan persuaded Yang Hui to stay and help. Other machines did not have the ability to fly in the atmosphere, so they had to follow the battleship. However, the Freedom Gundam and the Justice Gundam could still stay and help Yang Hui. They could board the Kusanagi in time when the Kusanagi set off.
"No, there are not many troops left in the Atlantic Federation. I can stop them alone, and it is easier for me to get out alone." Yang Hui said.
"But..."
"Go and get ready. The Archangel is about to set off."
"... Yang Hui, you must catch up."
"Yes."
Kira and Aslan were persuaded by Yang Hui. They drove the Freedom Gundam and the Justice Gundam to board the Archangel. They tacitly did not mention the matter of Uzummi and others. If someone did not know Yang Hui, they would definitely think that Yang Hui did not save them and deliberately left them to bear the blame.
But Kira and Aslan knew Yang Hui. If he could save them, he would never watch and do nothing. Yang Hui did not do so, which meant that Uzummi and others had persuaded Yang Hui and they were unwilling to leave.
"Yang Hui."
"Malu, get ready and set off directly."
"Understood, you must catch up!"
"I will, you are all in the universe, what does it matter if I fall behind alone?"
"Go to hell, it's not serious at this time." Malu's pretty face blushed, she knew that the "you" Yang Hui was talking about were not all the companions, but her, Baki Lulu, and the four of Huang and Wang Liumei.
"Be careful."
"You too."
The communication was hung up, and Yang Hui sat alone in the cockpit with his eyes closed to rest. The reason why he was able to quickly kill the five Strike Gundam E that besieged him was due to the Transformer Mode, but without the assistance of a sufficient concentration of GN particles, the consumption of the Transformer Mode was still too great. Yang Hui could only take the time to rest well and prepare for the upcoming attack.
The Dawn Gundam stood alone next to [Kaguya], with an arrogant posture like an omnipotent god of war.
"Beep beep beep..." Yang Hui hadn't rested for a few minutes when the communication application was remembered, but when he saw who sent it, Yang Hui frowned and hung up directly.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
It rang again, and it hung up again. Yang Hui directly turned off the communication system of the Dawn Gundam and continued to close his eyes to rest.
To be honest, he didn't know if Murta Aznael was hiding anything else. In addition to the Gundam, Forbidden Gundam and Disaster Gundam, there were ten more Strike Gundam E in the attack on Orb this time. Yang Hui had to worry about whether there would be more variables.
"It has been confirmed that all personnel outside Area C have been evacuated. Everything is ready. The final launch program of the Archangel has started..."
The Archangel set off and rushed into the sky from the mass accelerator.
"There is another one." The Archangel took off successfully. Yang Hui's mission was half completed. The next one was the Kusanagi.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
"Tsk, it's not that easy to let us go?" Looking at the two red dots approaching rapidly on the radar system, Yang Hui gritted his teeth and immediately started the Dawn Gundam to meet it.
……
“Waste! All waste!” Seeing the miserable state of the captured Gundam, the Forbidden Gundam, and the Disaster Gundam when they returned, not to mention that the signals of ten Strike Gundam E had been lost, Murtagh Aznael cursed, “Even though they have been strengthened to that extent, why can’t they win! They are all a bunch of waste!”
“……”
The officers present dared not speak out. Murtagh Aznael was in command of the battle. He was just a businessman and didn’t know how to command the army, but he was too confident. He was confident that the new machine he prepared would be able to successfully destroy Orb, so the orders he issued were all nonsense such as “Go!” and “Hurry up!”, which was also the main reason for the heavy losses of the MS troops.
As a result, not only did they fail to capture Orb, but more than half of the confident new machines were destroyed. One of the three surviving machines was scrapped, and two needed urgent repairs, so they could not attack in a short time.
"Ah! No, I'm already missing eating on land. How many troops are left? Send them all out! We must take down Orb!"
"Mr. Aznael, this... the damage rate of the MS troops has reached 80%. Even your confident..."
"Hmm?" Being touched on the sore spot, Murta Aznael looked at the officer who was speaking unhappily, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I dare not..."
"Then listen to my orders! All the remaining troops go forward! Take down Orb for me!"
"...I know."
"Also, the damage to Snatch and Forbidden is not serious, right? Have they been repaired?"
"...The repairs to Snatch have been completed. It has been completed, and the forbidden operation will take another 5 minutes."
"Hurry up! Let them attack. If the machine is not repaired, let them drive the [Dagger]. Anyway, come to me..."
"Report, the entire Orb army is shrinking in [Kaguya]. "
"[Kaguya]? Haha, are you planning to fight to the death? It's just right, I will destroy you in one breath..."
"Report! The Orb army is moving... It's the Archangel! The Archangel is using the mass accelerator!"
"What! ?" Hearing this, Murta Aznael hurriedly looked out the window and saw the Archangel taking off from the mass accelerator and entering the universe with a long tail flame, which gave him a bad premonition.
"Hurry up and attack! Quick!"
"Yes!"
Thanks to Chu Fengzhi for the 10,000-yuan reward. This is a supplement to yesterday's. It's late but it's here. My mind hasn't been clear during this period, so I'm stuck. Please forgive me. Thank you very much!
