Garuda Arrives!
Chapter 1646 Garuda Arrives! (Bonus Chapter!)
As the enormous black shadow emerged from the clouds, the BETAs that had remained silent and nestled in their lairs suddenly became restless, rushing out of their burrows to try and cover the Light-class BETAs as they brought down the massive black shadow hidden in the clouds.
However, before the BETAs could fully burst out of the cave, a series of explosions suddenly descended, turning the entire cave into a hellish scene. The remains of the BETAs and their blood, along with the flames, splattered in all directions.
Watching the assault-class BETA's forelegs being blasted through the hole, Christina calmly controlled her Gundam NT1 Mod to kick it back into the sea of fire, and then said coldly.
"Maintain suppressive fire! Do not let these insects hinder Garuda's descent!"
"Yes! Captain!"
"Understood! Captain!"
After completing the task of cleaning up the city's grounds, the main event began.
However, at the start of the offensive, He Ming's MS unit still needed to wait for supply support from the Earth Federation Headquarters (UC).
Through negotiations between Rebil and Gop, Garuda was ultimately assigned to one of the three Garudas under He Ming's command, and it was the first to arrive over the Second Tokyo metropolitan area.
The waters prepared for the landing of the Garuda have been cleared, and the ground crew guiding the Garuda's landing is ready, constantly communicating with the Garuda via radio to assist its landing.
He Ming didn't ask any questions about this; he simply stood in a suitable position and watched as the aircraft carrier, named after the mythical bird Garuda, slowly descended from the sky.
of course.
Besides He Ming, the trio of Guang Haifeng also came to watch the fun.
Although the trio of Guanghaifeng still kept their origins a secret, they were unaware that Heming already knew their true origins but simply chose not to reveal it.
"Wind. Is it really possible for humans to build such a huge aircraft?"
As Ryuzaki Kai watched the colossal creature, 317 meters long and with a wingspan of 524 meters, descend from the sky, he couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
"Those robots called MS use nuclear fusion reactors!"
Phoenix Temple Feng, wearing his glasses again, appeared exceptionally quiet.
"So, that large aircraft called Garuda also used a nuclear reactor?"
Shishido Hikaru rolled his eyes and looked at Phoenix Temple Fuu, asking a question.
"I think so! It's called a thermonuclear jet engine."
Despite being a magic knight, Phoenix Temple Fuu didn't seem to have any knowledge about nuclear fission or nuclear fusion during his middle school years, so he was somewhat overwhelmed by his friends' questions.
"Oh! That big plane has landed!"
Fortunately, it successfully landed in the designated waters, and the Garuda, gliding through the waves, attracted the attention of its companions.
Unlike when they looked up at the Garuda in its soaring state, the trio of Light, Sea, and Wind truly felt the awe-inspiring power of this colossal vessel, created not by mythical power but by human technology and human hands, as it slowly approached its mooring position with the assistance of tugboats.
"Humans can really create something so huge that it can fly in the sky!"
Hikaru Shido stared intently at the Garuda as it glided towards the docking area. "Wind. It seems the unit we're joining is quite formidable!"
Ryuzaki Kai withdrew his gaze and looked at Phoenix Temple Fuu.
"Yes. I think so too. And perhaps we can also have the gods reside in this Garuda's hangar. That should avoid some problems."
Phoenix Temple's words caused both Shishido Hikaru and Ryuzaki Kai to change their expressions.
Ever since confirming why they were drawn into this world, and the possibility that their enemies, High Priest Segarto and his group, might also be here, Phoenix Temple has been speculating whether Segarto and his group already possess a way to stop the Magic Knights from summoning the gods.
Under these circumstances, having the Vulcan, Wind God, and Poseidon stationed here is undoubtedly the best solution.
"I'll go see Colonel Ming. I'm sure he'll approve it."
Phoenix Temple Wind thought for a moment and then spoke to his companions.
"Okay, I'm counting on you, Feng."
"Miss Miyuki, please let me look after her for the time being!"
Hikaru Shido and Umi Ryuzaki both expressed their trust and told her to focus on handling the matter.
Before long, at a loading point for supplies, Phoenix Temple Wind, who was looking for He Ming, discovered that his worries were unnecessary.
“Miss Phoenix Temple, you’ve come at the right time! Garuda is clearing out parking spots. If you have time, you can go up and check if the location is suitable.”
"Eh?"
Phoenix Temple Wind was completely taken aback by He Ming's preemptive strike.
"Don't the Vulcan, Wind God, and Poseidon mechs need parking spaces? Could it be that the Magic Knight possesses the power to summon them anytime, anywhere?"
Phoenix Temple Wind couldn't see He Ming's face, which was hidden by the mask, but he could sense the hidden meaning in He Ming's words. He even noticed their concerns that High Priest Xie Jiatu might interfere with the three mechs, Vulcan, Wind God, and Sea God.
"I was overthinking it, Colonel Ming. Let's not rush things now! We'll discuss this after we've dealt with the lair!"
Phoenix Temple's words were on the tip of her tongue, but they changed their tone. By the time she realized it, she was secretly groaning.
"Yes. The assault will begin after the first batch of supplies is loaded and unloaded! That's about ten hours from now. Get yourself ready!"
He Ming smiled slightly, nodded and gave a word of advice, and once again the roar of Garuda's descent echoed in the sky.
The two looked up and saw that the second and third Garudas had arrived one after another, and the horns to destroy the nest and reclaim the city should have sounded by then.
On the first night after Garuda arrived, the forward outposts successfully established on the east and west sides of the Second Tokyo urban cluster were brightly lit. Armored vehicles and mobile suits were dispatched one after another according to their assigned missions, constantly moving through the dark but increasingly noisy city ruins, heading to the designated mission coordinates to wait for orders.
Meanwhile, mobile suit units are stationed around the entrances where BETA operations are most active, constantly suppressing any BETA attempts to break out and enter the city. They also monitor the expansion of the lair using ultrasonic vibration detectors and other means, providing detailed and effective intelligence support for the assault mission at dawn.
In the midst of the bustling night, those who had escaped from the city ruins seemed to sense something unusual. They cautiously returned from the surrounding areas and the city, standing on the hillside on the outskirts of the city, gazing at the ruins that had been taken over by the MS forces led by He Ming. They were somewhat lost in thought, while also hoping for a miracle to happen.
