Chapter 1778 The Hypocrisy Rises!
"Lieutenant Kakul's signal lost!! Explosion afterglow confirmed!!"
CIC exclaimed in surprise, quickly reporting the situation while awaiting orders from superiors.
Because, amidst the flames, the Banshee Gundam, which had just flown from the Judgment and was still in a firing stance, was captured by the optical radar.
At that moment, Captain Gaddy Kinsey and Jamaica Daningham, captains of the Alexander-class spaceships, both looked at Basque Om.
Although they had already decided to find an opportunity to turn against Punishment, the current situation was beyond their expectations.
Basque Om's facial muscles were tense, and he was clearly clenching his teeth tightly.
Although his eyes were covered by an eye patch with red lenses, his constantly twitching eyebrows betrayed his true feelings.
"Damn it!! Send out the MS force!! I refuse to believe that a mere MS can defeat our entire MS force!!"
Basque Om roared and gave the order without hesitation.
"Yes, Colonel Om. MS Force, sortie! Captain Gedi!"
"Understood! MS units, sortie! All ships, anti-air, anti-MS, and anti-ship units, are on Level 1 combat readiness!"
The piercing battle alarm instantly shattered the atmosphere inside the Titans, prompting everyone to quickly get to their combat posts.
The engine flames from the mobile suits taking off one after another from the Alexander-class space battleships and the Salamis-class cruisers reignited the battlefield, which had been somewhat quiet due to the peace talks.
"This punishing commander is really meddling in other people's business."
Sitting in the cockpit of Rick Diaz, Char shook his head slightly, but a relieved smile appeared on his lips.
My younger sister has a very good eye.
"Colonel, what should we do?"
As the system started up, a communication from Lala also came through.
"Provide Camus with cover as he brings his family back to the Agama, and I'll go support Colonel Ming."
"understand!"
Lala and Apoli responded immediately.
Camus, completely unaware that the Argama had entered a state of high alert, stared blankly at the floating shields circling the Gundam MKII.
"Camus Vidan. Now is not the time for you to stay here. Take your mother and go back to the Agama."
Amidst the confusion, the Banshee, enveloped in golden light, landed high in front of the Gundam MKII.
With its appearance, the floating shields surrounding the Gundam MKII returned to the back of the Banshee Gundam and its left arm.
"This, this... this is, this Gundam... what exactly is it?"
At this moment, Camus's eyes were filled with the image of the Banshee Gundam's unfolded NTD skeleton, making it almost impossible for him to think independently.
"So, he was indeed drawn to the power of the Banshee Gundam? It seems my decision was correct. Kamille Bidan is not suited to remain in the Punishment Palace right now."
Looking at the Gundam MKII Unit 3, which was quietly holding its space bag and frozen in place, He Ming had already seen through the truth that Camus was attracted by the power of the Banshee Gundam.
So, He Ming controlled the Banshee Gundam, raised his hand, and pushed the Gundam MKII Unit 3 on its shoulder, sending it flying towards the Rick Diaz squad that had just taken off.
Then, the red Rick Diaz stepped aside, passing by the Gundam MKII Unit 3, leaving the Gundam MKII Unit 3 under the control of the Rick Diaz piloted by Lara and Apolly. "Watch out for Franklin Bidan. If I'm not mistaken, Franklin Bidan has already infiltrated the Argama."
As Lara Singh carefully controlled Rick Diaz to stabilize the space capsule, she also heard He Ming's words of advice to her.
Lala Sin's gaze shifted, then she nodded.
"Colonel Ming, I thought you would maintain your friendly relations with the Titans for a while longer?"
After seeing Lala Shin and Rick Diaz of Apollo back to the Argama, Char's Red Rick Diaz also came to the side of the Banshee Gundam.
Unlike Camus, Char was not attracted by the power fluctuations emanating from the Banshee Gundam at this moment. Instead, he felt the terror contained within the Banshee Gundam more and more clearly.
"That was just a temporary charade. Neither I nor the Basques believe that the Punishment and the Titans can coexist peacefully."
He Ming mocked.
"As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. The Titans are too greedy. Even if they devoured the entire Federation of Earth, they would not feel even a little bit full."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ya instinctively felt that He Ming's words had a hidden meaning.
"Colonel Ming, what do you mean?"
"Use your own eyes to see clearly. Char, I have high hopes for you now, and I hope you can continue to maintain this. Never let down Lara Shin's unwavering loyalty. Perhaps, in some world you don't know, a Lara Shin who has lost Char Aznable is trying everything she can to change her fate."
He Ming's words made Xia feel increasingly suspicious.
However, now is not the time for him to ask further questions.
Because the Titans' mobile suit forces charged up.
With a wave of her hand, Banshee Gundam activated its three floating shields once again. As they spun forward, they deployed I-fields to block all the beams from the High Zaku's beam rifle.
"An I-field?! This mobile suit possesses an I-field? All personnel, switch to live ammunition!"
Upon seeing this, the captain of the Gaozagu squad immediately took action and simultaneously transmitted this information back to the Alexander-class spaceship via laser signal.
"I-Field? So it really is a Newtype-specific machine?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Jamaica's Daningham's eyes.
"Hmph. So what? It's just a bunch of petty tricks! Captain Gedi, have the follow-up mobile suits switch to live ammunition weapons."
"Yes, Colonel Om."
This is no longer the Earth Federation Forces during the One Year War, who knew nothing about NEWTYPE. Instead, it is the Titans, who have plundered countless resources through various means.
While controlling vast resources and intelligence, the Titans naturally also knew information related to NEWTYPE.
Having keenly sensed the weakness of the I-field, the High Zaku, which was not equipped with live ammunition, immediately shifted its target to attack Char's Red Rick Dias, while leaving the Banshee Gundam to the High Zaku, which was equipped with live ammunition.
The entire decision-making process was swift and clear, which prompted He Ming to nod in approval.
"To make such a swift and decisive decision when facing the Banshee Gundam for the first time. You are indeed elite, but you have followed the wrong person."
The fact that the I-field is being targeted does not mean that Banshee Gundam is now helpless and can only take a beating.
With a slight raise of her right hand, the Banshee Gundam's three floating shields retracted into the I-field and hovered around her. The Mega Cannon and Beam Gatling gun unleashed a barrage of fire at the High Zaku that was charging in a standard assault formation of one in front and two behind.
