Chapter 1743 Casting a Long Line to Fish!
"Lieutenant Colonel Duro, contact lost!"
CIC's voice was weak, but it made Tasilo turn ashen-faced and slump into his seat.
Even with his fleet's desperate attack, Duro Iker couldn't destroy that Irish-class spaceship?
Due to the distance, and the smoke and fire from the explosion of the warship, Tasilo, who was on the other side of the battlefield, had no way of knowing what had happened, let alone why Lieutenant Colonel Duro's desperate operation at the cost of his fleet failed to take down the Judgment.
"Keep breaking through!! It's only three mobile suits!! This is an opportunity that Lieutenant Colonel Duro has created for us!!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Tasilo's eyes as he shouted sharply.
"Send the remaining Callisto and Zorroat to the front! Hold those three mobile suits off!!"
Tassilo is determined to escape!
We must escape, no matter what!!
Otherwise, they will be swallowed up by this mutated world!
Amidst the rolling flames, a flash of cold light streaked across the sky, dispersing the thick smoke that surrounded them. The figure that appeared above the sea of fire made CC and Hasavi breathe a sigh of relief.
"Colonel, are you alright?"
Hathaway urged the ZETA Gundam forward to carefully observe the Banshee Gundam's condition.
To his surprise, the Banshee Gundam was unharmed, and even the three floating shields that had directly impacted the Almassa-class spaceship did not show a single crack.
"No. It's nothing. I'm just a little mentally tired."
As He Ming's faint voice drifted over, Hasavi subconsciously recalled the scene he had just sensed.
With its brilliance like a "star" and the psychoframe on the Banshee Gundam, it was able to unleash such power.
Do not!
It should be said that He Ming alone was able to unleash such power.
This is completely different from the miraculous moment that Hathaway witnessed with his own eyes at the end of the Second Neo-Zion War.
At that time, it was a brilliant light that came from the heart of humanity.
At this moment, it was He Ming who shone with dazzling brilliance all by himself.
"I will escort you back to the Judgment Ship to rest."
CC ignored all that nonsense and only knew that He Ming needed to rest.
"No! It's alright. Deal with the remaining enemies first. Hathaway, go support Amuro and the others, and have them hold back a bit so the Almase-class spaceship can evacuate. Then, Artesia will know what to do."
Upon hearing He Ming's instructions, Hasavi responded without hesitation.
"Understood! Warrant Officer CC, I'll leave the Colonel in your care."
"Don't worry! I'm keeping watch!"
CC responded.
After Hathaway left, CC glanced at the Banshee Gundam, which had retracted its floating shields.
"What are you planning again?"
“CC. Although I’m not demanding that you follow military discipline, you should at least look like a soldier. Remember, you chose this path yourself.”
"Yes, Colonel Ming. What are your orders next?"
CC's lips twitched, and he asked with a serious expression, "Instructions? No, just that Artesia equip that Almassa-class ship with some gadgets."
"A little gadget? You're trying to track that Almasy?"
CC was startled, instinctively thinking of He Ming's intention to play the long game.
“Following? Just incidentally. CC, you should know about the Sword of Akasha.”
He Ming's question made CC frown.
"Zanskar is related to the Sword of Akasha? They shouldn't be products of the same time and space."
"That's true. But what if the Zanskar Empire possesses a device similar to the Sword of Akasha, capable of causing extremely serious consequences for humanity worldwide?"
"What?! There's actually something like this?!"
CC stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.
"Does your world also have gods?"
"No! That wasn't divine power. It was simply the power deep within humanity being exploited by schemers!"
He Ming also wanted to completely annihilate this Zanskar Empire fleet here.
However, considering the existence of the Angel's Wheel, He Ming felt it necessary to find out the true location of the Zanskar Empire in this time and space as soon as possible.
(Wheel of Angels)
Regardless of how the Zanskar Empire ultimately acts, their ultimate goal is likely to do everything possible to activate the Angel's Wheel, influence humanity on Earth, make them forget everything, and ultimately cause them to fall into slumber, degenerate, and be completely wiped out by the conspirators hidden in the heart of the Zanskar Empire, thus taking complete control of the Earth.
In a sense, Emperor Charles of the Holy Britannian Empire was somewhat similar to the schemer hiding in the heart of the Zanscal Empire's power structure.
"It seems we'll have to stay in space for a while longer."
CC pondered for a moment, then sighed.
"Maybe!"
Upon receiving He Ming's order, Amro and Christina, without hesitation, began to secretly control the frequency of attacks, focusing more of their attacks on the Calisto-class warships escorting the Almassa-class.
The Almassa-class spaceships cannot be sunk, but the Callisto-class ships are not.
Thus, apart from Artesia, who had a new mission, Amro, Hasavi, and Christina all used their methods to drive the Calisto-class warships escorting the Almassa-class to a dead end.
Under the combined attack of three ZETA Gundams, the Zanscal battleship, having lost its MS force, was unable to mount any effective resistance. It could only struggle to hold on against the attacks of the ZETA Gundam squad, doing everything in its power to cover the Almassa-class space battleship's breakout.
This battle, constantly teetering on the brink of annihilation, had robbed Tasilo of most of his composure. All he knew was that he had to break out of this battlefield as soon as possible and find an opportunity to travel to the agreed-upon space region to bring back intelligence for the Empire.
Therefore, Tasilo, who was determined to break through, did not notice that in the midst of the fierce battle, the SV52, which should have been able to easily break through and deliver a fatal blow to him, silently swept past from below the battlefield and arrived directly beneath the Almassa-class spaceship.
As flames leaped from the machine gun muzzle, a set of ultra-long-range signal transmission devices used for tracking targets were immediately fired by Artesia at various locations on the Almassa-class space battleship.
Then, after Artesia had arranged everything, she signaled to Amro, Hasavi, and Christina, and SV52 turned and accelerated to break away, taking the lead in returning to base.
Amro, Hasavi, and Christina still need to put on a show, driving the Almasai-class away from the battlefield and, according to He Ming's plan, heading to find the hiding place of the Zanskar Empire.
