Zanskar Reinforcements!
Chapter 1734 Zanskar Reinforcements!
After successfully rendezvous with the support fleet led by Duro Ike in a remote region of space scattered with rubble and asteroids for tens of kilometers, Tasilo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Colonel Tasilo, it seems the sudden change on Muzo's side has caused you quite a bit of trouble!"
Duro Ike looked back and forth across the warships belonging to the Tasilo fleet, gazing at the almost completely destroyed turrets as he spoke.
“That’s undeniable, Lieutenant Colonel Duro. You should be aware of the situation. We not only suffered setbacks in our attack on Muzo, but we also encountered the Valley of the Dark.”
Tassil readily admitted his mistake and emphasized to Duro Ik the need to be aware of the existence of the Valley.
"The Valley of Shadows? I didn't expect we'd be facing the Valley of Shadows so soon."
Du Luo snorted coldly.
“Originally, based on our understanding of history, the Valley should be unable to focus on anything else right now. Just dealing with the Titans’ pursuit should be enough to keep the Valley busy.”
"Lieutenant Colonel Duro, I suggest you throw away all the history books in your head! This timeline has undergone changes we are unaware of."
Tasilo had to remind his colleagues to throw away the history books in their heads and look at the world with fresh eyes.
That solemn expression, and the setbacks the fleet had suffered, made Duro take things seriously.
"It seems we must report this situation back to the Empire once again."
Although Tasilo had reported the situation back to the Empire when he requested assistance, Duro believed it was far from enough to warrant the Empire's attention.
"I agree. It's just that the next time the passage will open is still some time away."
While Tasilo agreed, he also had to express concern about the next steps.
Originally, according to the original plan, his fleet would not have suffered such losses, and he might even have been able to take down the increasingly weakened Muzo in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes; everything changed shape under the distorted course of history.
Faced with fleet losses and sudden, unpredictable changes, Tassillo was forced to make a rare request for reinforcements.
"It will indeed take some time, but we have another way. If we can find the device that the man who calls himself MR has set up in this space-time, perhaps we can inform the Empire of the situation here in advance."
"MR? Lieutenant Colonel Duro, do you know who that man is?"
The seriousness in Tassil's eyes deepened.
If it weren't for this man's appearance, the Zanskar Empire would probably have already launched an attack on Earth.
Why would they possibly run into this chaotic time and space, trying to conquer Muzo according to the knowledge recorded in history books, only to suffer losses in the process?
"I don't know either. The only thing I do know is that the Queen and Lord Fons trust that man a lot."
Duro shook his head and gave an answer that was expected.
"Oh well! What's next..."
Tasilo sighed, and just as he was about to discuss the next move with Duro, a piercing warning suddenly tore their conversation apart.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Several beams of light swept across from outside the debris field, shattering several pieces of debris and asteroids on the spot.
As the debris from the explosion hurtled towards them, only to be blocked by the quickly lowered shielding panels, the entire warship experienced a violent tremor.
"All ships! Level 1 combat alert! This is an attack!! Enemy warships are following us!"
Tasilo reacted swiftly, immediately arranging for troops to engage the enemy, and even took the time to check his communication with Duro. "Lieutenant Colonel Duro. Sorry! It's probably that warship from the Valley."
"They dare to come at us with just one Irish-class warship? It seems that what is recorded in history books is not entirely true."
Duro finally understood why Tassillo had repeatedly warned him not to regard the contents of history books as truth.
The world before us has indeed changed too much.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The inaccurate beam of light continued to burst forth from outside the debris field, detonating all the asteroids in its path.
The flying debris caused great trouble for the mobile suits launched by the Zanskar Empire fleet.
"Speed up! Speed up!! Everyone, speed up and get out of here!!!"
Kronokel roared repeatedly in the communications, urging his subordinates to speed up and rush out of the Almassa-class spaceship.
However, nearly ten Zorrots were unable to avoid the flying debris during takeoff and were hit by the meteor-like debris, leaving large and small craters on their heads.
Looking at the lost signal and the dimmed electronic eyes, Kronokel immediately understood that these Zorroat had been brought to a standstill by the flying debris before they even saw the enemy.
"All deployed mobile suits accelerate away from the area with flying debris, separate into squads, and search for enemies on the flanks. Kronokl, you lead the squad forward to engage the enemy head-on."
Tasilo's order also expressed a concern.
The enemy's seemingly random bombardment was not haphazard; rather, it was a deliberate bombardment of the central area of the scree belt, causing the flying debris to scatter everywhere and thus forcing out the Zanskar Empire fleet that was hiding inside the scree belt.
After just a few rounds of shelling, the scree belt, less than ten kilometers wide and tens of kilometers long, suddenly became lively, like hot oil stimulated by a splash of cold water.
"Bang bang bang!!"
Countless pebbles flew in from all directions, crashing one after another onto the warships of the Zanskar Empire fleet.
Despite having armor far superior to that of a mobile suit to withstand the impact of flying debris, the rain-like sound could not be completely blocked out.
"The commander of the Valley is truly skilled!"
A fighting spirit gradually ignited in Duro's eyes.
This mission, which transcends time and space to return to the past, has unexpectedly begun in this way.
This truly surprised and delighted Duro.
"Lieutenant Colonel Duro, the enemy may be using this tactic because they have too few troops to conduct a detailed search of this scree area."
Tassil's image was a little shaky, but Duro still managed to hear his words clearly.
"Colonel Tasilo, do you mean we should launch a full-scale attack?"
"Yes! Whether we stay here or launch a full-scale assault, we will still have to face enemy bombardment of the scree belt. But in terms of sustainability and power, I would choose the latter."
"Hahaha! I'm not going to sit here and wait to die either! Well then, Colonel Tasilo, I'll leave the command to you!"
"Don't worry! I will lead the fleet to victory!"
After thanking him, Tasilo immediately gave the order for a full-scale assault.
I haven't been feeling well these past few days! @——@
I'm always drowsy, so I write very slowly.
