Duro, Determined to Die!
Chapter 1742 Duro, Determined to Die!
"This Lieutenant Mafty is very strong and also very scary."
When CC, who had finally arrived following behind He Ming, saw this scene, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Is it scary? There's no need to be afraid of such a reliable companion."
He Ming said calmly.
"That's easy for you to say! Why don't you answer Lieutenant Mafty's questions?"
CC retorted without hesitation.
"Only he can figure those things out himself. No matter how much others say, it will only cause unnecessary trouble."
He Ming's words made CC feel slightly displeased.
"Why do I feel like you're implying something?"
"Have it?"
He Ming raised an eyebrow and changed the subject.
"I'll handle that Lichtearth-class! Support is your responsibility."
Before CC could speak, Banshee Gundam darted out like lightning, rushing toward the Lycitia-class ship at an extremely fast speed.
"He ran pretty fast!"
CC didn't dare to delay and quickly followed.
Because, it seems that some changes have occurred with the Lycitia-class.
"Lieutenant Colonel! The MS force intercepting the Dark Valley battleship has suffered heavy losses! They are now unable to complete their assigned mission!"
"Oh!"
Lieutenant Colonel Duro clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the armrest of the chair.
In fact, even without CIC reporting, he had already clearly seen the situation on the battlefield.
He never imagined that a mere old Zeta Gundam from the past could withstand the attack of a mobile suit from the Zanscal Empire in the future.
Moreover, in a short period of time, it caused great losses to our own MS forces.
"ZETA Gundam?! Kamille Bidan?! Is this legendary figure from history really that powerful?"
At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Duro was filled with despair.
A single Irish-class space battleship and a few mobile suits were enough to push this Zanskar Empire fleet from the future to such a point!
If the Valley launches a full-scale attack...
Do not!
If the Titans and the Valley learn of the Zanskar Empire's origins from the future and join forces to resist it, then...
"No!! We absolutely cannot let this happen! At the very least, we must get Colonel Tasilo and his men out of this battlefield! That way, at least the Empire and Her Majesty the Queen will have time to deal with the situation."
As his thoughts raced like lightning, a resolute glint appeared in his eyes.
"Order: Have friendly ships provide cover for this ship's attack, at all costs!"
As Lieutenant Colonel Duro delivered his final order in a deep voice, his expression softened slightly.
"I am sorry, my lords. I cannot bring you victory, nor can I allow you to return to the Empire draped in the banner of victory, stepping on streets paved with flower petals. But now, I, Duro Ik, implore you all to lend me a hand and complete this final task!"
"For the Empire, for Her Majesty the Queen, to pave a path to the future in this chaotic world!"
"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Duro! All for the Empire!"
"For the Empire!"
"For Queen Mary!"
"Long live the Empire!"
"Long live the Queen!"
"Live Maryism!"
Resolute shouts echoed from the Lycidia-class spaceships and the two remaining Adoras-class ships, deafening and lingering for a long time. Lieutenant Colonel Duro felt gratified, yet also remorseful.
This was a dereliction of duty by their commander, and even more so, their incompetence.
They, from the future, arrogantly believed that the imperial fleet from the future was enough to crush all enemies from the past.
Even the Titans and the Valley of the Dead are no more than this.
However, at this moment, just one Irish-class destroyer and a few mobile suits easily shattered their arrogant demeanor, leaving them in a sorry state.
In fact, right now, in order to get Tasilo to bring this information back, Duro had to make a resolute order to lead everyone to their deaths!
"All ships, run engines to maximum capacity and attack at maximum speed! Target: Ireland-class space battleship!!"
The roar of cannons and the streaks of tracer fire streaking across the sky like a torrential rain not only attempted to block the invading enemy but also put immense pressure on the Judgment, which was facing a fleet assault.
Especially with the two Adoras-class warships providing desperate cover, the terrifying speed unleashed by the Lycidia-class ships at the cost of overloaded engines made it almost impossible for the Judgment to escape.
"You can't escape!!!"
Duro's eyes grew increasingly fierce.
Having witnessed the power of the ZETA Gundam, SV52, and Banshee Gundam, in order for Tasilo and the others to evacuate successfully, they must destroy the Judgment, which can provide the environment for long-distance space travel for the aforementioned mobile suits!
Otherwise, Tasilo and his group would have had absolutely no chance of escaping from this space!
"boom!"
"boom!"
The Judgment, refusing to sit idly by, continuously deployed its artillery fire to bombard the Lichtear-class ships in an attempt to stop them.
However, the two Adoras-class ships following the Lichtear-class also pushed their engines to overload, and with even greater speed, they arrived ahead of the Lichtear-class space battleships, using themselves as shields to block the Judgment's bombardment.
"boom!"
The MEGA particle cannon pierced through the Adoras-class battleship, and the moment it detonated, the flames-scorched hull was directly smashed apart by the Lycitia-class battleship that was protecting it behind it.
Standing on the bridge of the Lichtia-class ship, gripping the railing tightly to withstand the impact, Duro could see the ferocious faces of the Zanskar Empire soldiers being consumed by flames amidst the wreckage swirling in the flames.
"Gentlemen, your sacrifices will not be in vain!! This will be the crucial moment for establishing the Empire's dominance over the Earth!"
"The Empire will never forget your bravery at this moment!!"
"boom!!!"
The thick beam of light tore through the sea of fire and pierced the port side of the Lycidia-class ship, accompanied by a piercing warning sound that swept across the entire bridge.
"Port side breached! K3 and P1 areas destroyed, fire alarms breaking out in surrounding compartments!! Lieutenant Colonel! Engine compartment affected!! Engine output is decreasing!!"
"No! That's enough! This will be a glorious moment! We will lay the most solid foundation for the Empire's march towards glory!!"
"Gentlemen!! Please come with me to my death!!!"
Faced with death, Duro felt no fear, only a resolute determination to die for the empire!
The Judgment Ship is right before our eyes!
However, at the edge of that sea of fire, a dazzling radiance silently converged from all directions.
Within this radiant light, there were three slowly rotating floating shields, and behind them, the Banshee Gundam gently raised its right hand and slapped forward.
"Om!!"
Two seemingly fragile, yet insurmountable, radiant barriers stood firmly in front of the Lycitia-class.
The moment the two made contact, the Lycitia-class ship, which should have been able to easily shatter the fragile radiant barrier, broke apart like glass falling to the ground, turning into fragments and no longer able to reach the Judgment ship behind the radiant barrier.
The warship was shattered, and the bridge was engulfed in flames. Dulo Ik, who was determined to die and pave the way for victory for the Zanskar Empire, could not believe what he was seeing, and could not accept the last thing he saw before he died.
His resentment turned into a final, doomed roar.
"Do not!!!!"
