Zanskar's Fleet Attacks!
Chapter 1728 Zanskar's Fleet Attacks!
A Zanscal Empire fleet, consisting of one Almassa-class spaceship and three Calisto-class space cruisers, is brazenly appearing in the space sector where SIDE3 is located.
(Almaser-class spaceship)
(Callisto-class cruiser)
The Zanskar Empire fleet, which made no attempt to conceal its movements, was spotted by the nearby sentries as soon as it appeared, and the information about the fleet was immediately relayed back to Muzo.
"Miss! Intelligence has been sent back from the front!"
Crowley Harmon rushed to the command center where Artesia was located, carrying intelligence.
After taking the intelligence file and glancing at it, Artesia's expression changed slightly.
"They really think highly of the current Zeon. A fleet consisting of one Almase-class and three Callisto-class cruisers."
Others may not know, but Artesia, who had also trained in the GBN world for a period of time, was naturally able to understand the combat capabilities of the Almassa-class space battleship and the Callisto-class cruiser.
Although it consists of only four space battleships and dozens of mobile suits, it is actually more powerful than the four mobile suits that can be deployed at present, which are the Hozaku stolen from the Titans in the previous battle and the SV52 brought back by Artesia herself.
Indeed, it must be admitted that the Gao Zaku was a high-performance mass-produced machine in its original timeline.
However, in this chaotic time and space, they will gradually fall into a rather awkward situation.
Let's set aside the machines from other worlds for now.
From a future timeline, the Zoroat, a mobile suit used by the Zanskar Empire that once caused a crisis, was far superior in performance to the High Zaku.
"It's been so long since I've sat in a real MS cockpit."
Inside the hangar, Ramba Ral, dressed in his pilot's uniform and sitting in the cockpit, let out a sigh.
Despite Ramba Lal's efforts over the years to dedicate time each day to simulated training in an effort to minimize any decline in combat effectiveness, he could not make up for the impact of the period of absence from the battlefield.
“Uncle Ramba! From now on, you will lead the MS squad to guard the area near Muzo Port. Leave everything else to me.”
As Artesia walked into the hangar with her helmet in hand, she also informed Ramba Laar of the upcoming tactical arrangements through her headset.
"Wait! Miss! We can't leave you to face the enemy alone!"
Lamba Lal shouted immediately.
"No! You can't keep up with my speed! If you rush to catch up, you'll only slow me and SV52 down."
Artesia rejected Ramba Lal's idea without hesitation.
Even the high-powered Zaku at its peak couldn't keep up with the speed of the SV52 after several rounds of modifications and upgrades.
It's better to let the SV52 be a lone hero charging across the battlefield than to make it the sharpest weapon in an MS squad.
This not only relieved Artesia and SV52 of their worries, but also allowed SV52's superior maneuverability to be fully utilized.
Moreover, once the texture system is activated, the performance boost that the SV52 gains is enough to make it invincible for a short period of time.
Therefore, Artesia had the confidence to face the Zanskar fleet alone.
Seeing that Artesia spoke with such certainty, Ramba Lal could not insist any further.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Ramba. Please believe me and SV52. Those mobile suits of the Zanskar Empire cannot keep up with SV52's speed!"
"Okay! But I'm always ready to support you, Miss."
"Okay, I'm counting on you, Uncle Ramba." On the other side, the increasingly quiet SIDE3 space made Tasilo vaguely sense that something was wrong.
"It's so quiet here! Looks like they spotted us ahead of time."
Tassilo put down his binoculars, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
Although the intelligence did not mention that Muzo had his own MS unit, the quiet scene before him aroused a lot of doubts in Tasilo.
"Colonel! Unidentified mobile suit unit detected! Coordinates: Spaceport exit!"
At that moment, news came from the observation post.
Tassilo raised his telescope again, casting his gaze toward the exit of the Muzo spaceport.
The next second, he saw several mobile suits that had once been exhibited in military museums flying out of the spaceport in formation.
"That's a Zaku? A High Zaku from the Titans era?! Hah, it really is an antique! I thought Muzo's Federation garrison could still produce GMs! I didn't expect them to all be Zakus?"
The doubts in my heart were largely dispelled by the appearance of Zaku.
But Tassilo remained cautious and issued instructions.
"Have Lieutenant Kronokol lead the attack! Also, send two MS squads to patrol around the fleet!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
The movements of the Zanskar Empire fleet were also being closely monitored by Crowley Hammon and others.
With the help of high-powered telescopes and radar, Crowley Harmon, who was stationed in the command center, was the first to detect the enemy fleet's movements.
"Miss, Ramba, the Zanskar fleet has made a move. A three-MS squadron is rapidly approaching the spaceport, and it looks like they're coming for you, Ramba! In addition, at least two other MS squadrons have been deployed, but they remain around the fleet as a guard."
"He's a cautious fellow!"
Although Ramba Lal was unaware of the origins of the Zanskar Empire, he trusted Artesia's assessment of the Zanskar Empire's mobile suits.
Therefore, Ramba Lal did not choose to confront the enemy head-on, but instead prepared to coordinate with the firepower points around the spaceport to engage the enemy in a protracted struggle, while also assessing the enemy's strength.
"Harmon. Besides the two MS squads that have been on alert, is there any other activity?"
SV52, which launched from another exit and concealed its presence in Muzo's shadow, extinguished all the lights, becoming a ghost and watching the spaceport where the battle was about to take place.
"No. Nothing has been found yet, Miss."
"Alright! Hamon, focus on supporting Lamba."
Once in battle mode, Artesia became increasingly ruthless and capable, and her words became exceptionally clear.
"understand!"
The moment the first cannon shot rang out at the spaceport, the SV52, concealed in the shadow of Muzo, flipped its body as several auxiliary control nozzles were activated, and flew towards the deeper darkness. Then, it launched a surprise attack on the rear of the Zanskar Empire fleet from the side of the battlefield where no one could see it.
The Zanskar Empire fleet, completely unaware of this, became increasingly excited upon seeing the ancient Zaku.
It's important to know that in that distant future, during the era when the Zanskar Empire launched a wave of anti-Earth Federation rebellions, Zakus that could appear on the battlefield had already disappeared.
