Siege!
Chapter 1739 Siege!
As the rubble exploded, the three-man Zorroat squad was thrown out of the rubble in a disheveled state.
Clearly, this MS squad wanted to take advantage of the Banshee Gundam being distracted by friendly forces, use the drifting debris as cover, sneak up near the Banshee Gundam, launch a surprise attack, and secure victory.
Unfortunately, they were unaware that from the very beginning, He Ming had been aware of their every move.
The trick of drifting pebbles could not fool He Ming's spiritual perception.
"Is this machine a monster? Its keen senses are probably on par with those of a servant loyal to Her Majesty the Queen."
The Zanskar officer in command of this do-or-die force looked in horror at the Banshee Gundam, which seemed to see through their entire plan with ease.
"Captain! Almase hasn't broken through yet! We must be on high alert!"
"Ah! Yes! We must pull ourselves together! No matter what, we must cover Almase's evacuation!! For the Empire, for the Queen! For Mariaism!!"
The frenzied attack began again.
The immense power displayed by the Banshee Gundam did not deter the Zanskar pilots, who had resigned themselves to their fate, from retreating even a step. Instead, they launched an even more frenzied attack.
Beams of light rained down on the Banshee Gundam, but were completely blocked by the floating shields hovering around it, posing no threat whatsoever.
The only thing that can be done is to restrain her, to keep the Banshee Gundam occupied.
In response, three Zoroat aircraft abandoned firing and instead joined forces to draw their beam swords, launching an attack from three directions simultaneously.
The remaining Zoroat intensified their firing, attempting to pin down the three floating shields protecting the Banshee Gundam and create an opportunity for the three Zoroat to launch a close-range attack.
"interesting."
He Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of approval.
To see through the weaknesses of the floating shield in such a short time and then launch a close-range attack on the Banshee Gundam truly makes them the elite of the Zanscal Empire.
However, they did not know that in addition to the I-field of the floating shield, the Banshee Gundam itself also possessed an I-field!
When the three beam swords that rushed towards the Zanscal Empire fleet, aiming to create the first opportunity for victory, were blocked by the Banshee Gundam's own I-field, the faces of the three Zanscal Empire pilots who were making a desperate attack were already filled with horror.
Amidst the brilliance of the three beam swords and the I-field, Banshee Gundam released the beam magnum in her hand, then stretched out her hands and grasped the right hands of the two Zoroat units located on her left and right sides, exerting force suddenly.
"Bang!!"
Amidst a burst of sparks, the right arms of both Zorroyals snapped off.
When Zoroat, the squad leader who was about to launch a surprise attack with his sword and try to pierce the Banshee Gundam's cockpit head-on, saw this scene, a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes. Zoroat, who was controlling him, quickly turned to the side, attempting to deliver a fatal blow to the Banshee Gundam with the five-barreled beam cannon on his right shoulder.
However, He Ming had been waiting for this moment.
The Banshee Gundam's head-mounted Vulcan cannon activated instantly, spraying sparks across the Zoroat's right shoulder, which was mostly extended.
"boom!!"
Suddenly, the five-barreled beam cannon, which was originally protected by the right shoulder armor plate, was hit directly by the Vulcan cannon and detonated on the spot.
The unvented energy unleashed an even more violent explosion, blasting Zorroat's right shoulder off his body.
At this moment, the plan of this Zoroat MS unit to contain or even destroy the Banshee Gundam can be said to have failed.
As Banshee Gundam tossed aside the severed arm in her hand and picked up the beam Magnum rifle floating beside her, the Zoroat attackers, who were surrounding her, immediately scattered to avoid it.
Witnessing firsthand how the Banshee Gundam could easily defuse the attack and even launch a counterattack while being surrounded by its own forces, even the Zanscal Empire pilots who were desperately covering the retreat of the Almassa-class space battleships couldn't help but feel fear.
Because the enemy they are facing could not possibly be human!
It's the devil!
It's a demon!! "You have nowhere to escape!"
With its three floating shields spread out, Banshee Gundam moves its gun barrels to lock onto targets and eliminate them one by one while chasing its prey.
Each time a beam of Magnum light illuminates, it signifies the explosion of a Zorroat.
The constantly fading identification signals cast a shadow over the Zanskar Empire fleet's breakout attempt.
"Colonel Tasilo, break out as quickly as possible! The remaining warships will cover your escape!"
A resolute look appeared in Lieutenant Colonel Duro's eyes.
"Lieutenant Colonel Duro, what do you want to do?!"
Colonel Tasilo paused, as if realizing something.
"That warship, that Irish-class spaceship, just left our retreat route. Obviously, they saw through our plan and are unwilling to use the Irish-class spaceship as a shield to stop us. So, this is our chance."
Lieutenant Colonel Duro said firmly.
Tassilo fell silent.
This requires a drastic measure, like a warrior cutting off his own arm, or luring the tiger away from the mountain.
Seeing the terrifying combat power of the Banshee Gundam, if their fleet's mobile suit units were wiped out, even if their number of warships far exceeded that of the "Valley" fleet, they would probably only end up being completely annihilated.
"Lieutenant Colonel Duro! We will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives!"
"No! This is what I should do! Colonel Tasilo, remember to complete your mission!"
"I swear by my life, and by the name of Mary, that I will fulfill my mission!"
On the right flank of the Zanskar fleet, Amro and Hasavi worked together to eliminate a Zorroyate squad while also noticing the movements of the Zanskar fleet.
"Captain Amuro. The Zanskar fleet has split up. No, the Lycidia-class destroyers are targeting the Judgment!"
Hasavi's expression changed, and he quickly said.
"Mavty, you go back to support the Judgment now! Leave this to me."
"it is good!"
Knowing Amuro's formidable strength, Hathaway did not hesitate and immediately transformed his ZETA Gundam into MA mode, rushing to the aid of the Judgment at full speed.
On the other side, CC's ZETA Gundam followed closely behind.
ZETA's splitting up alerted Tasilo and his team, who thought they had finally found the weakness of this "Valley" unit.
If Lieutenant Colonel Duro performs as expected, this breakout will surely succeed!
"Om!!"
However, before they could even catch their breath, two beams of light descended from the void one after the other, piercing through a Callisto-class cruiser and the Adoras-class warship that Duro had left them.
The flames from the exploding warships still told them that their breakout was only just beginning.
