Supporting the Judgment Ship!
Chapter 1740 Supporting the Judgment Ship!
Duro's Lichtia-class action has affected the entire battle situation.
The retreat of the Judgment was indeed to protect it from being affected by the desperate breakout of the Zanskar Empire fleet and thus avoid losses.
However, the presence of the Lichtier-class destroyer in Duro also indicates that the Zanskar Empire fleet has its sights set on the Judgment.
As a result, He Ming also changed his strategy.
“Artesia, you stay here with Amro and Christina to snipe Almase. The rest of us will go back to support the Judgment.”
He Ming glanced at the screen, and after gaining a clear understanding of the distribution of enemy and friendly forces, he made arrangements.
"understand!"
After the three floating shields returned to Banshee Gundam, the Banshee Gundam suddenly accelerated, transforming into a stream of water as it swept across the sky above Tasilo's Almassa-class space battleship, leaving behind a trail that startled Tasilo.
"Perhaps this machine is the biggest variable in this spacetime?"
Tasilo suppressed his wildly beating heart and stared intently at the Banshee Gundam that was chasing after the Lycitia-class.
If nothing unexpected happens, the fate of the Lichtearth-class destroyer will inevitably be to be sunk by this Banshee Gundam, which possesses terrifying power.
"Lieutenant Colonel Duro! Your sacrifice will not have been in vain!"
Tassilo clenched his fists tightly and shouted in a deep voice.
"Gather all the mobile suits in my fleet and have them stop the three mobile suits that Yugu left on our side!! Even if it means death, we must do it!"
Duro's actions have drawn away most of the power of "The Valley," and now is their chance to break through!
Raising his beam shield to block the enemy's beam and swiftly counterattacking, Huso, inside the V Gundam, shattered the enemy's lower body on the spot.
His previous fierce battle with Kronokker had taken a toll on his energy, causing his current form to decline considerably.
But in order to support the Judgment Ship, he must muster his spirits and persevere to the very end.
However, the mobile suits of the Zanscal Empire, which were following Duro's Lichtearth-class, kept harassing the V Gundam, trying to intercept it and prevent Huso from supporting the Judgment.
Not far away, Hathaway and CC were piloting the same ZETA Gundam.
Each person faces at least several Zorroyats.
"Mavty, you go first! Leave this to me!"
After letting Hasavi go ahead, CC, facing the enemy alone, couldn't help but frown.
"Where did this Zanskar fleet get so many mobile suits? It feels like we can't possibly fight them all!!"
This is her first real combat experience in a space environment since becoming a ZETA Gundam pilot.
Sensory-wise, the ever-increasing number of Zorroat enemies was extremely annoying to this usually rather laid-back immortal witch.
Unexpectedly, He Ming's voice inexplicably rang in CC's mind.
"They only used reserves for Kamikaze operations. Is that all? CC."
Clearly, He Ming had learned of CC's complaint.
"That's easy for you to say!"
CC frowned, but smoothly made the ZETA in MA mode perform a series of rolls, avoiding the combined fire from the two Zorroyats.
Then, after quickly escaping the enemy's lock-on range, it swiftly transformed, turned around, and fired three shots at each of the two Zoroat drones that were half a step behind and had not yet completed their turn.
Six particle beams swept across the void in succession, hitting the heads, hands, and finally the torsos of the two Zorroat aircraft. This marked CC's first personal combat achievement since participating in the battle.
"Well done!" He Ming, who had arrived nearby and witnessed everything, couldn't help but praise.
"This isn't the time to talk about that. If that ship gets sunk, does that mean we'll have to sit in the cockpit of an MS and head back to Muzo?"
"If the Judgment is sunk, that would be true."
"Then what are we waiting for?!"
Upon hearing He Ming's answer, CC did not hesitate to speed up and chase after him.
"I don't want to be forced to sleep in a cramped cockpit after my first real space battle!"
Upon hearing this, He Ming burst into laughter.
"That's simply impossible, okay!"
Although the Lichtia-class ships, along with two Adoras-class ships and a large number of mobile suits, launched a desperate attack on the Judgment, the Judgment itself was not weak, and with the escort of the Ernesti trio, it was able to hold out until they returned to provide support.
Faced with the surprise attack from the suicide fleet led by Duro, the Judgment did not hesitate, constantly rotating the two twin-mounted MEGA particle cannons and four single-barreled MEGA particle cannons on the upper and lower decks at the front of the ship to bombard the attacking enemy.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
As thick beams of light shot out from the MEGA particle cannon, the three members of the Ernesti team responsible for protecting the mothership were also on high alert, watching for enemy aircraft that could attack at any moment.
Before the battle, He Ming instructed them not to take any risks and to stay around the Judgment Ship as much as possible, waiting for He Ming and the others to return and provide reinforcements.
Now is the time for them to carry out their mission.
However, before they could actually encounter the enemy's MS Zoroat, Hathaway's Zeta Gundam arrived first.
"Lieutenant Mafty? He's back to reinforce so quickly?"
When Ernesti saw the silver-gray ZETA Gundam appear, he immediately showed a surprised expression.
"Yes, Warrant Officer CC held off the enemy for me. Now, deploy into defensive formation immediately! El, Artie, and Kid, I'll take care of disrupting the enemy's formation. You just need to keep the enemy mobile suits away from the Judgment."
Although Hathaway knew that the Ernesti trio were highly skilled pilots, he never considered them as seasoned veterans due to their age. Therefore, he often took on demanding tasks himself, preventing the trio from experiencing the harsh realities of the battlefield.
"okay!"
Ernesti didn't think too much about it; upon hearing Hasavi's words, he immediately followed the orders.
This made things much easier for both sides.
Hasavi and the twins were afraid that Ernesti might act impulsively and charge into the enemy formation to fight them.
"ZETA!! Quick!! Fourth and Fifth Squads, you two go and hold off that ZETA Gundam! The rest of you, come with me and take out that GM II squad!"
The Zanscal MS unit of Duro's side finally arrived, and upon seeing Hathaway's silver-gray Zeta Gundam, immediately launched an attack.
"Four, five? Five machines? El has eight!"
Hasavi's gaze grew increasingly sharp, his expression turning icy.
"Then, I'll deal with you first, and then go support El and the others! You're all from the future, so let me see your strength!!"
