Sheryl's Singing!
Chapter 1575 Sheryl's Singing!
While ELS's "Grey Mist" withstood the barrage from the Wood Alliance fleet, it also separated into smaller, faster "tentacles" that extended towards the Wood Alliance fleet amidst the intense bombardment.
Moreover, as ELS becomes more active on this battlefield, the situation faced by the opposing enemy becomes increasingly dire.
Under the leadership of Cheng Ying·Lie Kong, the Skull Squad and PIXIE Squad, who launched the second salvo, successfully destroyed the cluster of Wood Lian mobile weapons that was trying to close the gap and block their assault, creating a passage that allowed them to rush into the Wood Lian fleet and reach the spaceship where the network consciousness aggregate was located.
"Drip~"
At the same time, the Skull Squad and the PIXIE Squad also received orders from He Ming.
"Are the remnants of the G Fleet on that warship?"
Ozma glanced at the screen and immediately realized where the collective consciousness of the network was located.
This was help from Grace.
As a former member of the network consciousness collective, Grace has her own little tricks for sensing and finding the location of the system that carries the network consciousness collective at special times.
The trick is working now.
From the information Grace revealed after her defection, Ozma learned that the ordeal suffered by Lan Hua Li, whom he had adopted, was, to some extent, influenced by the collective consciousness of the network.
Therefore, after learning about the numerous crimes committed by the collective consciousness in the past, Ozma did not hesitate to regard it as an enemy that must be eliminated in this lifetime!
There are people with similar ideas in MACROSS Quarter.
Sheryl, who had volunteered to join the war but did not attend any combat meetings, was also staring intently at the space battleship surrounded by numerous wooden mobile weapons.
"Is that the spaceship where the murderer who almost kidnapped me and killed Grandma Grace is located?"
Sherry, who was tightly gripping the microphone, gradually revealed a determined look in her eyes.
She raised her eyes and looked at the projection screen on her right.
"Akemi-senpai. Sorry! I'll sing the opening song!"
"Of course! This is my battlefield, but it is also your stage! Sheryl, come on! Let those schemers who once tried to take you hear your song!"
On the stage of the Kongo, Lynn Minmay, dressed in a gorgeous costume but not singing the opening song, smiled and cheered on Sherry Lou.
"Okay! Akemi-senpai! Thank you!"
As Sherry raised her right hand to shield her eyes, completely obscuring everything that was happening on the battlefield, the memory of that day when she was determined to step onto the grand stage in the name of "Galaxy" was suddenly shrouded in the shadow of an attack, and even the memory of the death of her beloved and protective grandmother Grace suddenly surfaced in her mind.
The red cheongsam shimmered under the holographic projection, adding a touch of beauty to Sheryl. Her song, forged from the deep resentment and anger within her heart, resounded throughout the battlefield.
"In our despair, we embarked on a journey..."
"Only the bleak wind blows before us on the road ahead..."
"···"
The moment Sheryl's song began, the ELS asteroids and the ELS individuals spreading across the battlefield opened particle nozzles, scattering countless GN particles across the battlefield, creating wave after wave of particles that engulfed everyone on the battlefield.
"This, this is singing? Is it Sheryl Nome's singing?"
While assisting in the defense around the Nadeshiko, Akito Tenkawa, Ryoko Ang, and other Esterballes pilots subconsciously looked in the direction of the MACROSS Quarter.
"What a wonderful singing voice! For some reason, I feel a surge of power within me!" Maki Izumi, who usually liked to talk to herself, unconsciously clenched her fist and uttered words that everyone agreed with.
"Gentlemen, please don't let your emotions get the better of you!"
On the bridge of the Nadeshiko, Yurika Mitsuhime had just finished giving instructions when she looked at Ruri Hoshino with shining eyes the next second.
"Liuli Liuli!! Gravity Wave Cannon, charge! Target, ahead, tulip!! I have a feeling there's a big fish inside that tulip!!"
Everyone was stunned. Just moments ago, Yutong Yurika was reminding the pilot not to get carried away with his enthusiasm, but in the blink of an eye, she herself got carried away and opened her mouth to charge the Gravity Wave Cannon!
The group looked at each other, but had no choice but to comply.
This was largely thanks to the large force dispatched by ELS, which provided the Nadeshiko with significant defensive capabilities and gave it ample redundancy. Otherwise, facing such a massive force...
"Captain! The enemy fleet has exceeded ten thousand. Shijian does not recommend using the gravity wave cannon at this time!"
Hoshino Ruri calmly retorted to the order.
The total number of the Woodlink fleet, plus the Lambda beasts released by the Radam mothership, has exceeded ten thousand.
Moreover, the total number of troops released by both sides is still increasing.
"No problem! Immediately, right now, gravity wave cannon, charge! Target unchanged!"
Unfortunately, Yuriko Yuto still insisted on her decision.
"Understood! Gravity wave cannon, begin charging! Also, Shiken, notify friendly warships to avoid friendly fire!"
Accidental injury is impossible.
That was because Hoshino Ruri deliberately used this excuse to inform Kongou about the situation in order to prevent Yuuka Mitsuhito from messing things up.
Little did they know, King Kong had no objection to this. Instead, he relayed the information to He Ming, who was attacking the defenses set up by the collective consciousness of the network, and asked him to make a decision.
"Coordinate with the Nadeshiko and launch an attack on the Tulip! The Nadeshiko's target may be the flagship of the Kurisu!"
He Ming's reply was very quick, which reminded Jin Gang of a sister who had a personality that was difficult to explain in words.
"Understood! Kongo, deploy your weapons! Wave Cannon, begin charging!"
Sheryl's singing was so beautiful and so melodious that it caused the collective network consciousness that was commanding the fleet to pause slightly, and this pause seemed to be expanding.
"What happened? How did we lose the ability to command our fleet?"
The collective consciousness of the network is alarmed to find that more and more warships are going offline, and the defense line is in grave danger!
"It's Sheryl's singing. The bloodline of the Wind Priestess truly possesses wondrous power!"
The haughty female voice spoke coldly.
"We made a mistake back then. Even if we couldn't steal the Wind Witch's bloodline, we should have killed her completely!"
"Let's not dwell on those things! Now, we must stop what's happening right now! Gentlemen, do you want to relive the crushing defeat we suffered on our homeworld of Vajura? That man is already upon us!"
Amidst the piercing cries, the image of Cheng Ying·Lie Kong leading the Skeleton Squad and the PIXIE Squad breaking through the second line of defense and about to launch an assault on the final line of defense plunged all the consciousnesses into tension.
The song title for Sheryl in this chapter is: Infinity.
Also, I'm going to help out at a relative's house tomorrow, so I'll only be posting two updates today! I'll make up for it if I have time tomorrow or the day after!
