Chapter 1659 The Changes in Davos!
Davao.
This city, located on a tropical island, is most famous for its events in the UC world timeline, starting with the "Mafty" hijacking incident in the future timeline—UC105.
But now, before the city even reached UC105, it was destroyed by an unexpected space disaster.
Even as the streets still carried the humid heat characteristic of the tropics after the torrential rain, the dilapidated streets, littered with cars and even human remains, were already solemn, and a chilling killing intent rose from them.
Behind the fortifications, heavily armed Earth Federation soldiers stood attentively, gripping their guns, grenades, rocket launchers, and other weapons, staring intently at the street ahead, which, despite being washed by torrential rain for days, still reeked of blood.
"Thump...thump...thump thump thump..."
Suddenly, ripples spread across the water on the street, as if something terrifying was rapidly approaching the fortifications.
"Enemy attack!!! The BETA is here!! All personnel, Level 1 combat readiness! Vehicles, take your positions! Soldiers, prioritize heavy weapons!! Mine crews, begin detonation countdown!! Power crews, prepare!!"
Seeing the cup on the table trembling, the army lieutenant, his brow furrowed, immediately opened his throat and roared loudly.
"Everyone, get your spirits up!! If we can hold out through this assault, we can truly recapture the outer areas of the city and provide support for Captain Amuro's Karaba MS forces!!"
"Yes! Sir!!"
The soldier roared angrily.
"Dong Dong Dong!!!"
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The heavy footsteps approached from afar, bringing with them a tremor as if an earthquake had struck.
Amidst this increasingly intense tremor, the surrounding dilapidated buildings seemed unable to withstand the devastation of days of fierce fighting any longer, collapsing with a roar and kicking up a cloud of dust, only to be scattered by the rushing BETA in the next second.
"BETA!!! Several tank-class and assault-class vehicles! The total number is likely over several hundred!! Infantry heavy weapons should prioritize dealing with high-speed, small individuals! Tanks and armored vehicles should target assault-class BETAs!!"
"Ready!! Launch!!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
At a single command, the dimly lit streets were suddenly illuminated by a bright light.
It was the brilliance of the tank's main gun firing, the afterglow of the anti-armor missiles carried by the armored vehicle taking off, and the dazzling flashes of the minefields that had been laid in advance on both sides of the street and in the center being detonated one after another.
"Amuro. It's already underway on K1 Street. Our operational strategy has succeeded!"
On the other side of K1 Street, in the plaza, Amuro's First Assault Team awaited the start of the next phase of their mission.
However, his teammate, Kay Siddin, who had fought alongside him since the One Year War, seemed somewhat eager to try.
"No! Kai. Our mission isn't on K1 Street. Besides, the third and fourth squads are already providing support there. Our defensive capabilities are sufficient!"
Amuro immediately saw through his partner's thoughts and offered a reminder.
"Tch! What a downer, Amuro. This is a long-awaited real battle! Even though we don't have to fight humans, it should at least be more enjoyable, shouldn't it?"
Kay Sitting pursed his lips and said unhappily.
"Kai! Since we arrived here, you've participated in no fewer than ten battles! You're like a war maniac!"
Amuro said helplessly while keeping an eye on the situation on K1 Street.
"Madmen? Hey! Amuro. Don't make me sound like one of those Titans lunatics! Right now, standing before us are monsters from another world! Of course, we should kill them all without hesitation!"
“Ding ding…”
Just as the two were bickering and joking, a radar alert sounded.
"Amuro, Kai, beware! A group of BETAs has appeared on the street on the east side of the plaza, numbering between several hundred and a thousand! Their individual composition is currently unknown."
Hayato Kobayashi, piloting a red and white GM II, spoke up. "Tsk! These monsters really don't keep to the time! Amuro, wanna race?"
Kay Siddin snorted and challenged him again.
"Kai, we must eliminate this batch of BETA as quickly as possible!"
Amuro's expression shifted, but he held back.
Seeing Amuro's feigned composure, Kay Siding rolled his eyes.
"Fine! I'll get started!"
Kay Siding floored the accelerator, sending his GM II soaring from the plaza, leaping over the half-collapsed building, and unleashing an aerial blast of justice at the group of BETA rushing towards K1 Street!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The moment the two rocket launchers fell from the sky, the group of BETAs were instantly cut in half by Kay Siding's attack.
At the same time, Amuro and Hayato Kobayashi, piloting GM-2s, arrived closely behind, appearing from the front and rear of the BETA group respectively, setting up their rocket launchers and firing continuously at the remaining Assault-class BETAs.
As several rocket launchers hurtled through the air, Amuro decisively discarded them, piloted his mobile suit into the air, and simultaneously activated the GM II's 60mm Vulcan cannon in the head, turning the tank-class BETAs that tried to jump up into clumps of jam.
The bloody scene made Amuro's face turn slightly pale, but he was already used to it.
As Kay Siding said, this is a war between humans and monsters from another world.
Despite its brutality and bloodshed, this was a relatively better battle compared to the horrific and horrific battlefields of the One Year War, which caused unimaginable casualties.
After all, Amuro only needs to kill the monster in front of him to save more of his fellow humans!
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Between Amuro and Hayato Kobayashi's attacks, Kay Siding's GM II raised its shield, leaned against the building, and used its beam lance to draw Amuro and Hayato Kobayashi away one by one, thus exposing the remaining Assault-class BETAs that had exposed their weak points behind them, eliminating them all.
Then, he smoothly controlled the GM II to raise its right leg and kick the tank-class BETAs that were trying to surround it to pieces before moving the shield and using the 60mm Vulcan cannon in the head, just like Amuro did, to clear out the remaining insects.
"Phew...it's that simple!"
Kay Siding looked around and found that apart from their Jim II, the street was littered with corpses and covered in blood.
"Amuro, Kai, it seems the battle on K1 Street is nearing completion! Next up is the assault on the city center!"
After glancing at the message on the communication channel, Hayato Kobayashi spoke again to remind him.
"Okay! Let's prepare to move! The window of opportunity is almost over!"
Amuro glanced at the time, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes.
"Wait! Amuro, did you sense something?"
Suddenly, Kay Siding called out to his companion.
"What? Kai, what did you sense?"
Upon hearing Kai Siding's call, Amuro and Hayato Kobayashi immediately piloted their mobile suits to their partner's side to provide cover.
"Okay, it seems like something is changing..."
Kai Siding's gaze sharpened as he looked towards a certain spot in the void, where Amuro seemed to have sensed it as well.
"Yes! There's something there... No!! Something's running out!! Oh no!! That's the city center!!"
"Boom!!!"
Amidst a flurry of thunder and lightning, a figure resembling a large passenger plane, yet strikingly similar to the space shuttle Amuro and his companions knew, emerged from the lightning trailing thick smoke and plummeted rapidly towards the western part of the city center!
