Task Arrangement!
Chapter 720 Task Arrangement!
When the shield slowly opened, revealing the scene that had turned into a blue sky, it meant that the Polaris, Archangel, and the Dendrobium following behind the two warships under the remote control of the intelligent AI cube Arduino had passed through the atmosphere and arrived under the blue sky.
At the same time, He Ming also came to the hangar and told Sergei, Lockon and the four outstanding pilots who became the Iron General drivers after a series of selections the key to this mission.
"Everyone. We are about ten minutes away from the mission area. Now, I will formally explain the mission requirements to you."
Hearing this, Sergei, Lockon and others all focused their attention.
"For this mission, we will be responsible for blocking the ZAFT fleet from Carpentaria outside the mission area. That is, we will not allow a single ZAFT warship or MS to enter our mission area and interfere with the Kunpeng large dredging ship that is about to start the construction of the base island."
Having said that, He Ming smiled.
"Here is good news and bad news."
"Of course. This is not to ask you to choose, but to make you mentally prepared!"
He Ming held up two fingers.
"Personally, I prefer to tell the bad news first. According to the feedback from the superior intelligence department, we may not only face the ZAFT fleet from Carpentaria, but also the attack from ZAFT's orbital airborne forces."
Lockon whistled and sneered.
"It seems that our action this time is indeed very popular!"
"Yeah. It's a little unexpected, but it's also natural."
Sergei nodded and looked at He Ming.
"After all, when supporting the Eighth Fleet before, the Dendrobium piloted by the commander had already caused great suffering to the ZAFT pursuit fleet. Therefore, in order to prevent us from building the base island this time, it is inevitable that the orbital airborne troops will be dispatched."
Sergei thought about it for a moment.
"So, we have to take ZAFT's airborne forces into consideration?"
He Ming nodded slightly.
"It is indeed necessary to do so. However, we have good news. According to the intelligence sent back by the fleet that has entered the mission area in advance, the ZAFT fleet currently staying in the mission area is not very strong. In fact, it is at a disadvantage in terms of the number of warships."
"If the other side doesn't have hidden reserves, then after the Polaris and Archangel enter the mission area, our forces will form an overwhelming advantage. At that time, we will immediately cover the dredging fleet that arrived earlier to carry out sand blowing and island filling operations!"
"Time is the key to the next mission! I will personally handle the orbital airborne troops! And you must provide cover for the dredging ship so that it can smoothly carry out the sand blowing and island filling operations."
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone agreed, turned around and left, preparing to board their own machines and wait for the order to attack.
"Lockon, wait a moment."
"Yes, sir. Please command."
In front of outsiders, Lockon behaved very seriously.
"You will take Kira Yamato to the Kunpeng No. 1 ship later and ask him to see if there is any way to shorten the time of the sand blowing and island filling operation and optimize the operation."
"Yes! Understood."
For the Polaris and Archangel, which have the ability to fly in the atmosphere, the ten-minute journey is just a blink of an eye.
Thousands of meters above the sky, the two warships quickly captured the mission island that appeared on the horizon.
Looking at the image of the island that was constantly enlarging on the main screen, Feng Yun's eyes flashed and he gave the order.
"All ships, anti-air, anti-MS, and anti-ship, level one combat status! Let Lieutenant Colonel He and his men attack!" The same order was also issued on the Archangel.
However, there were only the Strike Gundam and a few Sky Kings on the Archangel.
Moreover, with the departure of Kira Yamato, the Strike Gundam was naturally handed over to Mu La Frada to pilot.
Of course, in order for Mu to be able to drive the Strike Gundam smoothly, Kira specially wrote a set of OS programs for Mu before leaving the Archangel, which would allow him to quickly adapt and master them.
However, the OS system, which was completely different from the MA Mobius Zero, still caused Mu to suffer a lot.
Even after a period of training, he could not guarantee that the Strike Gundam he was driving now could exert its full combat power.
Therefore, the Strike Gundam driven by Mu in this round was more of a supporting role.
"Gravity is such a troublesome thing! Can't you understand how I feel as I'm driving a mobile suit?"
The Strike Gundam, equipped with a gun backpack, jumped onto the deck of the Archangel under the control of Mu.
Coincidentally, the Iron General Squad led by Sergei flew past the right side of the Archangel and headed directly towards the mission island in an assault formation.
Behind the Iron General, Lockon's Power Angel Gundam also took off into the air, hovering high in the sky, overlooking the island below.
This scene made Mu jealous.
They are both MS, so why is the MS next door so flexible and smooth in its movements?
I drove very carefully, fearing that if something went wrong, I would get into unnecessary trouble.
"Major Mu! Next, you will cooperate with the Sky Overlord Squadron to protect the Archangel."
Just as Mu was staring at the Iron General who was getting farther and farther away, Natal Bakilulu's voice came from the communication.
"Yes! Got it! Then, we don't need to support the Polaris?"
After Mu responded, he asked back.
"No! We just need to focus on the enemy in front of us. In addition, according to the intelligence sent by the Polaris, ZAFT is very likely to use orbital airdrops to disrupt our mission!"
"understand!"
Mu nodded and responded.
Then, at that time, it would be the time for these MS equipped with gun backpacks to intercept the orbital drop chamber.
However, Natal Bakilulu did not tell Mu about such an arrangement. Instead, she once again reminded him to only focus on the enemies ahead.
As for the enemies overhead, there is no need for the Archangel or even the Polaris to deal with them for the time being.
Just when Mu was confused and wanted to speak, a black shadow suddenly appeared above the Archangel.
The hundred-meter-long wings seemed to cover the sky and the sun, completely shrouding the Strike Gundam and the Archangel Gundam.
"That, that is?!"
Mu dared to guarantee that he had never seen such a machine before.
It was like a giant bird spreading its wings and flying high in the sky, casting its shadow over everything on the ground.
"Major Mu. That's the Dendrobium piloted by Lieutenant Colonel He. He will be responsible for intercepting ZAFT's orbital space forces."
