Chapter 874: Their Respective Battlefields
$25 fleet, during the concert, Shirley and Lux sang the passionate Sagittarius and then went off the stage to take a short break. They also had to change their stage makeup. Projection stage makeup is indeed convenient, but neither Shirley nor Lux will use it all the time. They will only use it when a specific stage effect is needed.
During the break, Shirley asked Lux anxiously about the battle situation on the front line. On the one hand, she was also worried about Yang Hui's safety, and on the other hand, she was also concerned about whether her and Lux's singing could help the soldiers on the front line.
"The front line is relatively stable. The addition of the main fleet has stabilized the situation. Now it is in a stalemate." Lux said while calling up the battle images on the front line. As a senior official of Promise Fortress, she naturally has this authority.
"It's so tragic!" Seeing the battle process played on the screen, Shirley covered her mouth in horror. This was also the first time she really saw the cruelty of war. Even at a distance of 12 light years, she could feel the oppression brought by the overwhelming Vajra.
But what reassured her was that although Vajra appeared continuously, the Promise Legion's front was still stable and could temporarily withstand the high pressure.
"Look! Lacus! What is this!?" Suddenly, Shirley covered her mouth and exclaimed. She saw that the warships in the picture fired a wave of missiles and sank into the ocean of Vajra. The sudden burst of white light covered all the pictures. It took two or three seconds to restore the picture. The waves of Vajra disappeared, leaving only countless FOLD jump exits as a background board, and the new waves surged.
"Reaction bomb..." Lacus said in a deep voice.
"Reaction bomb!? Isn't that a weapon banned by the New Unified Government!?" Shirley was horrified.
Reaction bomb, a strategic-level weapon of mass destruction very similar to a nuclear bomb, has the same power as a nuclear bomb, but does not leave radiation. In addition to the power of the explosion, it will not cause any lasting damage to the environment. It is one of the biggest trump cards in the hands of humans, but it is also a taboo weapon that is never allowed to be used in normal times.
"It's an emergency. There's nothing we can do." Lux knew that the current situation was so dangerous that she had to unblock the forbidden weapon, the reaction bomb. But she felt bad watching the reaction bomb bloom and countless lives turned into nothingness under its radiance.
"Ms. Shirley, get ready!"
The call from the venue staff made Shirley and Lux, who were focusing on the frontline battle, return their attention to the concert.
"Okay." Shirley nodded and stood up and walked towards the stage. She had already changed into her stage costume before asking about the frontline battle situation. The frontline was the battlefield for the soldiers, and the stage was her battlefield.
"Ms. Lacus, get ready too. The next show is yours." The venue staff also reminded Lacus.
"Got it." Lacus nodded in response. Her idea was the same as Shirley's. In order to prove her ability as a singer and to prove that she could also bring strength to them, this concert was incomparably serious.
…
12 light years away, on the battlefield between the Promise Corps and Vajra, after the Promise Corps' hard work, Vajra's offensive finally eased, and the densely packed FOLD jump exits that served as background boards had been reduced a lot. The speed of Vajra's appearance was slower than the speed of Promise Corps' elimination, and the Vajra wave on the battlefield had been calmed down little by little.
"Hold on! Vajra's reinforcements are running out!" Yang Hui encouraged everyone, and Shirley and Lux's singing continued. But even with the help of their singing, they would still be tired after half an hour of high-intensity combat, because the rear defense forces that were not strong enough to attack the Vajra wave had lost half of their combat effectiveness, and the ship-borne reaction bombs had all been fired. If it weren't for Yang Hui and other super aces who shared most of the pressure at the front, the fleet's main formation would have been broken through by the Vajra wave.
"This number is really too scary. ELS didn't have such a scary number back then, did it?" After completing a charge, the [Flag Gundam] transformed into a MS form and stayed beside the [Dawn Gundam], back to back with the [Dawn Gundam]. At this time, Graham was sweating profusely, his chest was heaving violently, and he was breathing heavily.
"Nonsense, at least ELS has no reinforcements!" Yang Hui complained unhappily, not to Graham, but to Vajra, who was also very tired now.
The back-to-back [Dawn Gundam] and [Flag Gundam] would not stand there stupidly, but maintained the squad tactics of alternating cover and retreated steadily.
The super aces also made the same decision. They were all very tired. The risk of the previous fearless charge was too high and could not be used. They could only meet up with their companions nearby and retreat in the direction of the fleet.
"If we had such technical equipment, the ELS wouldn't have had such a hard time fighting that battle." Arthur, who had joined Gerhard and Fleet, said directly, "We can win by throwing a few reaction bombs."
"Idiot! Reaction bombs are also physical weapons. Let the ELS swallow them and then throw them at us." Fleet cursed directly. How could this son still be so stupid after so many years? He really wanted to stuff him back into Emily's belly and give birth to him again.
"Uh... Don't we still have the Moonlight Cannon? Why not use it?" Arthur was also used to Fleet's disappointment, so he naturally turned to the next topic.
"The Moonlight Cannon is our last trump card. According to intelligence, Vajra, like ELS, also has a strong ability to learn and evolve. We don't know when our current weapons will become ineffective. The Moonlight Cannon should not be exposed if it can be avoided." Gerhardt said.
In fact, in this battle, the technical department led by Katagiri, who followed the fleet, had already obtained Vajra's data.
It can only be said that... this time they were lucky to have implemented the technology of this world, especially the output of various aspects. Otherwise... if the weapons used in the last battle still maintained the previous output power, they would have no effect on Vajra.
"What a perverted race."
Not only Asem, everyone who knew about this situation had the same idea about Vajra. The endless number, super fast evolution speed, and even the ability to ignore the FOLD fault. If they really become enemies, they will be unsolvable.
"So we have to rely on Yang Hui." Fleet suddenly showed a playful expression. He didn't expect that the joke he made in the central conference room before arriving in this world would actually come true. This is really... pleasing!
"Next... wait, the radar detection system has responded. Something is coming through the FOLD fault. It's very heavy! Asem! Mr. Fleet! Be careful!"
