The Comet's Flash!
Chapter 1800 The Comet's Flash!
The boiling seawater gradually calmed down, leaving only wisps of rising steam to tell the story of the dramatic battle that had just taken place.
Watching the mechanical skeleton gradually cool down under the wash of the seawater, and the flesh and blood floating on the sea surface, slowly melting and returning to nothingness, He Ming secretly felt a sense of relief.
If He Ming hadn't sent a signal to Rebil requesting support for orbital bombardment by the fleet before departure, this suddenly appearing "colossal giant" would probably have plunged them into a fierce battle.
Putting everything else aside, just being hit by that fleeting glimpse of the purplish-black beam of light would cause everyone to suffer, and could even put their lives in danger.
In the distant sky, two Garuda ships, ordered to retreat, are approaching.
They not only had to meet up with He Ming and the others, but also contain the remains of this strange mechanical beast and bring them back to the First Dynamic City Cluster to be studied by Kabuto Juzo, so as to see what Dr. Hell was up to.
Moreover, judging from the situation at the scene, even if Doctor Hell didn't die when the island was blown away, he was probably missing or rescued.
Regardless of which one it is, it's unlikely that Doctor Hell will cause any trouble anytime soon.
However, this is far from the original plan to completely eliminate the threat of Dr. Hell.
Time is also destiny.
Plans can never keep up with changes.
He Ming shook his head and said casually.
"Preparing to return to the Garuda! Well done, everyone."
Two Garuda-class aircraft carriers landed one after another in the waters near the ruined island, splashing up waves. The women, who were slightly relaxed, chatted about some interesting things while waiting to return to the Garuda.
Meanwhile, He Ming was also ordering Kenes to send enough people as soon as possible to collect the remains of the mechanical beast.
Just as everything was proceeding as planned, a red flash suddenly appeared in the sky, like a comet crashing into the heavens.
The next second, Banshee Gundam, which was guarding the wreckage of the mechanical beast, suddenly activated the NT-D system, raised the beam Magnum in its hand, and fired three shots at the red comet that was rapidly falling in this direction.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Three beams of light shot upwards, but were dodged by the red comet. At the same time, a gaze fell from the sky and met He Ming's gaze.
"Um?!"
As the electric shock-like sensation exploded in He Ming's mind, the Banshee Gundam NT-D system abruptly shut down, and she put down the beam magnum in her hand, no longer intercepting the red comet.
This action startled everyone who had just been drawn into a battle stance by Banshee Gundam's behavior. They watched helplessly as the red comet flew between the two Garuda-class carriers, grabbed the G Quarks Gundam before it could react, and disappeared into the sky as a streak of light.
After a long while, amidst the sound of waves crashing against the wreckage of the mechanical beast, the group gradually came to their senses.
"Colonel. Tenshou has been captured."
Village Rain Phoenix covered her forehead and frowned.
"What exactly happened just now? It sounds like someone was saying something."
"Me too. It's a pity, why is that?"
Rosamia asked, puzzled.
"There's no reason why. Tian Shou ensured that Lieutenant Ye was safe. She simply went where she was meant to be. That red comet just now was the person she was looking for."
He Ming's eyes revealed a hint of solemnity, indicating that everyone should not pay attention to the matter of Tian Shou giving Ye.
Murasame and Rosamia naturally had no problem. As enhanced humans, they also possessed a considerable degree of psychokinesis and were able to sense what was happening.
Neither Kenneth nor CC said anything, and everything was based on He Ming's name.
At most, they would talk about the funny story of a cute little girl who had just arrived, only to find that she had run off with the person she was looking for.
Watching the busy scene of speedboats carrying recovery personnel and flying platforms serving as makeshift cranes transporting the remains of mechanical beasts back and forth, He Ming couldn't help but fall into thought.
While pondering, he also turned his gaze to the sky.
As the Magellan battleship fleet completed its first operational test of orbital bombing and began its return to the moon, the space shuttle that departed from Blue Noah happened to pass by the Magellan battleship fleet from afar.
"Is that the Magellan battleship? I thought this kind of outdated warship had been phased out."
Standing by the porthole of the space shuttle, Sirocco put down his telescope and chuckled.
"Yes, given the current state of warfare, Magellan is indeed of little use. Moreover, the war during the Delaz Rebellion proved Magellan's ineffectiveness."
Sitting next to him, Basque Om showed a hint of disdain.
"It was precisely because of the rise of the Magellan's uselessness theory that we Titans were able to redesign and build the new Alexander-class warships."
"Yes, the Alexander-class warship, I've seen it with my own eyes. It is indeed an excellent warship with multiple capabilities. Magellan, on the other hand, is destined to be an obsolete product of the old era."
Sirocco clapped his hands in agreement.
Having reached a consensus, the two smiled at each other and chatted happily. Then, Basque Om changed the subject, turning the conversation to the mysterious boy who had been following Sirocco.
"By the way, Sir Sirocco. That young man beside you seems quite talented. If he can pass the MS pilot test, he should be a very promising prospect."
"Hahaha! Colonel Om, you flatter me. Shuuji is a smart kid. Many times, I leave the choices to him and let him decide for himself."
Sirocco laughed and casually replied.
But it was this casualness that made Basque Om notice that Sirocco valued the mysterious boy highly.
"Oh. In that case, he is indeed a very promising talent. It's a pity that you, Lord Sir Locke, beat him to it."
"Lucky! Lucky!"
As the two were talking, Shuji happened to return to the cabin from the aisle.
"Sir Sir Sir Locke. Colonel Orm, I'm very sorry! I was in the restroom for a little while."
"It's alright. After all, we're in space."
Basque Om wouldn't make things difficult for Shussi over such trivial matters.
With the support of Sirocco, Basque Om not only escaped the fate of his fleet being badly damaged and being held accountable by Jamitov, but also received Jamitov's commendation for the addition of the Jupiter fleet.
Given this situation, how could Basque Om possibly give him the cold shoulder?
"Shuji. It seems you've made your decision."
After glancing at Basque Om, Sirocco turned his gaze to Shuuji, a smile gradually appearing on his face.
Shuji slowly lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Yes, Lord Sirocco. I am willing to serve you!"
