Recapture of Davao!
Chapter 1665 Recapture of Davao!
"Roar!!"
"boom!!"
The Bull-class True Dimensional Beast roared repeatedly and charged towards the Banshee Gundam. As it charged, it channeled its power, unleashing bolts of lightning from the horn on its right thigh and the small horn on its head at the Banshee Gundam.
"Is that all the tricks you have?"
He Ming had originally wanted to see what the difference was between the real-world Bull-class True Dimensional Beast and the True Dimensional Beast in the game, but after seeing the Fortress-class BETA appear, that desire faded.
"Let's solve it as soon as possible!"
The moment the decision was made, Banshee Gundam, instead of retreating, charged forward with all her might, rushing towards the Bull-class True Dimensional Beast like lightning. Just before colliding with it, she gracefully rolled to its right, and with a flick of her left claw, she once again replicated the action of breaking the horn on the Bull-class True Dimensional Beast's left thigh, snapping it off.
"Roar!!"
In pain, the Bull-class True Dimensional Beast tried to twist its body and bite at the Banshee Gundam, but the Banshee Gundam struck back with an elbow, knocking its head to the other side.
But it's not over yet.
The Bull-class True Dimensional Beast was forced back by the heavy elbow strike, its body swaying and full of openings. In that instant, the claws that had broken off its two huge horns once again enveloped it.
This time, it was the neck of this bull-level true dimensional beast.
"Om!!"
Like a ruthless butcher, the Banshee Gundam firmly gripped the neck of the Bull-class True Dimensional Beast with the claws extended from its left-hand weapon, VN, while its right-hand weapon, BS, folded backward, revealing a fist that slammed down with a deafening roar.
Under the heavy iron fist, the Bull-class True Dimensional Beast collapsed on the spot, but still struggled desperately.
He Ming coldly watched the struggling Bull-class True Dimensional Beast on the ground, while simultaneously urging Banshee Gundam to exert its power, channeling more energy into its left hand.
"Hoo!!! Hoo!!!"
The piercing roar echoed through the city ruins for a moment, followed by a series of shattering sounds.
Then, with a sound of something being torn apart, the Bull-class True Dimensional Beast had its head torn off by the Banshee Gundam and died instantly.
Banshee Gundam casually tossed its shattered head aside, then deployed its right-hand armor BS again and unleashed a barrage of fire at the unresponsive remains of the Bull-class True Dimensional Beast.
The moment beams of light illuminated the ruins, the remains of this bull-class true dimensional beast were riddled with holes.
"Life signs have been completely lost; there is no possibility of recovery."
Perhaps out of concern for He Ming's overuse of firepower, or perhaps because he couldn't stand by and watch, Adino, who rarely commented on He Ming's offensive tactics, couldn't help but speak up.
"This is a necessary means to deal with an unknown enemy."
He Ming shrugged and turned to look at the battlefield where he was fighting against the fortress-class BETA.
Compared to the tactical mobile suits of the original timeline, which were fully equipped with beam weapons and even had psycho-guns as their core damage dealers, the MS force seemed remarkably composed when facing this fortress-class BETA.
After all, the tactical aircraft in the original timeline were mostly equipped with 36mm assault cannons or 120mm smoothbore cannons, which were far inferior to the GM II, which was armed with beam rifles.
Even if this Fortress-class BETA releases the various BETAs hidden within its body, it will only cause the GM II, which is scattered around and distracting the Fortress-class BETA, to fire a few more beams.
Furthermore, Rosamia's Gaplan provided fire support from the sky, keeping a close watch on any potential beam-class BETAs that might jump out of the fortress-class BETA, so that she could call for support and eliminate the threat immediately.
Therefore, He Ming, who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, gave up the idea of going forward to provide support, deciding instead to let Amuro and the others get used to how to deal with threats from fortress-class BETAs.
It's important to understand that there aren't always psycho-Gundams standing behind them, acting as the output core to support their operations.
"Ok?"
He Ming's eyes flickered, and the Banshee Gundam, which was not far to the left of the Psycho Gundam, raised its right hand and fired a beam of light. Several Assault-class BETAs that crawled out of the ruins were instantly destroyed.
“Bertigia. This is Ming. Prepare to organize personnel to enter the area and eliminate any remaining threats.”
After glancing at the streets littered with corpses, He Ming opened his communicator and sent a message to Bertiga.
"Understood, Colonel Ming. The cleanup crew is ready and can begin operations at any time. Also, Colonel Ming, several of the wounded we rescued earlier have regained consciousness, but their behavior seems somewhat problematic."
Bertiga's voice carried a hint of doubt and unease.
He Ming naturally understood.
"Keep an eye on the situation! Except for essential medical personnel, no one else is allowed to approach the tent where the injured person is located without authorization."
After issuing the order sternly, He Ming lowered his voice.
"Don't worry! It's probably just a cognitive bias that occurred during the dimensional quake. Once this is over, I'll organize personnel to send the wounded into space and hand them over to General Rebil for care."
"Huh? Send it to space?"
Bertiga was taken aback, and immediately realized that the deep waters here were beyond her reach.
"Understood! Colonel Ming! The first wave of cleanup crews will enter Davao after the battle. Please pay attention to our signals!"
"it is good!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a murderous intent appeared!
As the banshee Gao Da suddenly dodged to the side, a gust of wind suddenly arrived.
The rapidly approaching black shadow swept past He Ming's eyes, instantly destroying the half-collapsed building behind the Banshee Gundam. "Boom!!"
Amidst the sound of the building collapsing, the Banshee Gundam swiftly raised its left hand, using the claws of the Armored VN to firmly grasp the dark figure. At the same time, its right hand flicked, revealing a beam sword, which it raised and slashed down.
"puff!!"
Beneath the scorching particles, everything melted away, leaving only that enormous body, its vital organs severed by the beam of light, struggling and retreating.
"Looks like you want to go to hell sooner, huh!"
Banshee Gundam tossed aside the wreckage with a flick of her left hand.
That was the Fortress-class BETA's most lethal weapon—the tail hook ram.
This thing just tried to ambush the Banshee Gundam, which was standing to the left of the Psycho Gundam and watching the battle.
"I'm sorry, Colonel! It was my oversight!"
Murasaki's somewhat flustered voice rang out on the communication channel.
"No. It's not your fault. Before it was launched, nobody knew who it was aimed at."
He didn't care about the name.
Ignoring the GM II and Psycho Gundam that were harassing it, it instead came to bother this bystander. It must be because the Bull-class True Dimensional Beast was killed by the Banshee Gundam earlier.
In other words, he and Banshee Gundam have drawn a grudge!
"boom!"
"boom!!!"
After retreating repeatedly and leveling the entire street, the fortress-class BETA finally regained its footing and quickly recovered from the aftershocks of its tailhook ram being destroyed.
But, so what?
With its BETA and tail hook ram destroyed, it can only rely on the impact force from its sharp armored limbs and its heavy body.
However, these were not a problem at all for the surrounding MS units.
"Let's all attack together! Let's end this battle!"
"Yes! Colonel!"
At He Ming's command, all the MS raised their beam rifles and fired a continuous barrage at the fortress-class BETA, which was no different from a target.
Pull the trigger.
Pull the trigger.
Pull the trigger...
In each moment of pulling the trigger, some pilots muttered something, some shouted, and some even revealed a sense of exhilarating revenge.
Regardless of its performance, under the dense, rain-like barrage of beams of light, this 66-meter-tall, mountain-like fortress-class BETA collapsed on one side of the city center, riddled with holes and emitting thick smoke.
"Rumble..."
Amidst the rolling dust, the battle ended, and dark clouds surged in once more, scattering torrential rain as they rolled, washing away the blood from the battlefield.
"We won...we won!!!"
Amuro looked at the remains of the Fortress-class BETA, shrouded in heavy rain and constantly sifting through its ugly body, and slowly leaned back in the driver's seat, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"We've won! Davao is back. Congratulations, and thank you for your hard work, Captain Amuro!"
When He Ming's image appeared before Amuro, he straightened up abruptly and said seriously.
"No! It's all thanks to the support brought by Colonel Ming. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have been able to recapture Davo in such a short time. Moreover, the appearance of that dimensional beast and the fortress-class BETA at the end was also thanks to Colonel Ming."
"What's yours is yours. Captain Amuro, there's no need for such modesty!"
He Ming was somewhat surprised by Amuro's modesty, but did not delve into it further.
Given the significant changes in the timeline, it's normal to experience changes as well.
"Captain Amuro, arrange for the remaining troops to hand over to the cleanup crew. The rest of the combat personnel, proceed with their rest as planned!"
"Yes, Colonel Ming."
The torrential rain that followed the battle lasted only about three hours before gradually dissipating, allowing the afterglow of the setting sun to once again envelop the city, which still bore the marks of bloodshed but had regained its freedom.
In the fiery red sky, the Garuda, lagging behind, finally arrived at the city where the war had subsided, bringing with it news of Rebil.
"There's actually such a thing?"
He Ming led Kenes to the communications room of the Garuda and made contact with the Reibill fleet, which was stationary in a synchronous orbit.
Looking at Kenes standing next to He Ming, and then at Tiam, who had finished verifying Kenes's information and brought it to him, Rebil fell silent.
"In that case, let's proceed as you have instructed, Colonel Ming. We'll take care of Lieutenant Colonel Slag's identity as soon as possible."
