Macross Empire

The other surviving steel tank II mobile suits can't even bother to fight back now. They saw the Strike Gundam's stance of rushing into the herd, and the death-like "X" series Gundam's new body, Shura Gundam, swaying in the sky. After the modeling, the ZAFT army MS driver who had received the retreat order and was frightened desperately drove the land combat MS to disperse and escape.

Seeing this situation, Kira Yamato, who doesn't like to fight by nature, quickly stopped with the Strike Gundam, and Li Yuan, who was driving the Shura Gundam, didn't continue to attack, and watched those few luckily (really fluke) escape with cold eyes The successful Steel Tank II mobile suit left the battlefield where there were already dozens of piles of steel wreckage and flames.

I don't know when, the futile roar of artillery and missile fire from the ZAFT land warship also stopped, and the battlefield that was still lively just now became silent for a while.

"Yuan, it seems that the tiger has chosen to evacuate? Do you want to continue chasing it?"

In the cockpit of Shura Gundam, Natal Bakilulu's inquiry came from the communication channel, asking Li Yuan, the supreme officer and his own man, about the next steps of the battle.

In fact, Natal Bakilulu, who knew the anime plot and battlefield intelligence of "Gundam SEED" in advance, certainly had her own ideas.But now what she needs to ask is Li Yuan's opinion, and then she will consider putting forward her own opinion, and Li Yuan will decide how to proceed with the next step!

"No need! That tiger is still useful, besides, there are still a few captives to deal with..."

Hearing Natal Bakilulu's question, Li Yuan, who was driving the Shura Gundam, shook his head and said.

If Li Yuan wanted to, Andrew Balterfield, known as the "Desert Tiger", the character who showed his face in "Gundam SEED" and the sequel "Gundam SEED DESTINY" would not have grown up to the present at all. It was flatly promoted by the main force of the Eurasian Federation half a year ago, instead of "cooperating" with the United Earth Army during the first half of the year, turning all the blue cosmos diehards in Europe and the Mediterranean into a sacrifice list.

As for the captive that Li Yuan was talking about?

Well, Kira Yamato deserves to be the protagonist who has always adhered to the concept of peace and abolished the opponent's physical force in "Gundam SEED" and the sequel "Gundam SEED DESTINY". He is known as the "human stick king".At least in the Baku II MS and the Steel Tank II MS, at least ten pilots and cockpit parts of the ZAFT army were left untouched.

Although Li Yuan would not keep his hands away from the enemy during the battle, this kind of opponent who had lost their resistance did not attack. Now among the remaining mobile suit pilots of the ZAFT army, some people have already climbed out of the cockpit of their scrapped aircraft , and then looked at the situation around him with a look of despair.

"Understood, I will immediately send the marines out to clean up the prisoners!"

After listening to Li Yuan's words, Natal Bakilulu responded immediately.

Later, from the passage gate on the Archangel, more than a dozen reinforced soldiers with weapons rushed into the battlefield, and then began to arrest those ZAFT mobile suit pilots who had no intention of resisting at all...

Chapter 262 Retreat and Contact

More than 30 kilometers away, inside the command post of the ZAFT army's large land battleship that was retreating, the atmosphere became dead silent.

Looking at the light screen in the command post of the land battleship, the supreme officer Andrew Balterfield's face was no longer as relaxed as before, but became extremely serious and serious.And the other people in the battleship command post saw the one-sided battle just now and the face of their commander, and they would not talk or joke without winking—of course, seeing the disastrous defeat of the ZAFT army just now, the battleship commander present So no one would be in the mood to joke around.

"I didn't expect this Shura Gundam to be so strong on Earth. It seems that the record of the three 'X' series Gundams..."

Looking at the situation on the battlefield that had disappeared on the light screen, while sighing, Andrew Baltfield felt only a burst of chill in his heart, as cold as falling into ice.

Eleven atmospheric air combat MS Dean II, fifteen land combat MS Baku II, and twelve land combat MS Steel Tank II!

With more than 30 mobile suits, it is not considered a weak force in the African theater and the Mediterranean theater.Especially the group of mobile suit pilots following Andrew Balterfield who just attacked can be said to be the elite of the ZAFT ground forces on the earth, but now they are all buried in front of the Archangel in just a few minutes On the battlefield, this result was an unforgettable memory for Andrew Baltfield.

——Even in the many battles with the Eurasian Federation, although Andrew Balterfield had many battles with losses that were much greater than more than 30 mobile suits, he had never experienced such a completely one-sided battle!

"Commander, only three Steel Tank II mobile suits have responded to the signal of successful evacuation! And just now, the remaining dozen or so pilots on the battlefield who piloted Baku Type II MS and Steel Tank II mobile suits replied the last message, saying that they I have seen the enemy's marines come down from that space battleship, and they have already begun to capture them..." After a long silence, the communications officer of the battleship received some information, and then got up to interrupt Andrew Balterfield meditation.

"A prisoner..." Listening to this report, which is considered good news for the ZAFT soldiers in "Gundam SEED", Andrew Balterfield also woke up, and then decisively looked at the staff and officers in the headquarters. The officer began to issue orders: "Let the evacuated Steel Tank II MS detour and return to the battleship, let's retreat at full speed!"

"Yes! Commander!" *N.

Listening to Andrew Balterfield's words, the staff officers and officers of the ZAFT army in the battleship command all breathed a sigh of relief, and then loudly said yes to their commander.

It should be said that Andrew Balterfield's decision is quite wise and decisive.Even the warship staff and officers of the ZAFT army understand that if their commanders want to continue fighting, it is estimated that ten to ten of the dead will be on their side, which has already lost all the MS combat troops.Now the commander decisively chooses to retreat at full speed, which is actually a very wise plan-I believe that not many people will choose that kind of battle that is sure to die!

Afterwards, the ZAFT army's large land warships, which were originally retreating slowly, turned on their full power and without hesitation retreated in the direction of the road that took a lot of time to come...

……

On the other side, on the edge of the sand dunes on the battlefield of the Archangel, a group of spectators who had just played soy sauce also looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Sha, the desert tiger escaped like this???"

"It's amazing! Those two Gundams destroyed so many mobile suits of the ZAFT army. A few months ago, the large resistance organization barely managed to kill a steel tank with a trap, and so many people died. !"

"That's the new 'X' series Gundam from the United Earth Army, right? It's called Shura Gundam..."...

On the sand dunes at the edge of the battlefield, a group of people dressed in the uniforms of ordinary North African residents, but the personnel with guns and binoculars looked at the remains of the ZAFT military aircraft still burning on the battlefield and the two Gundams that had just shown their strength in the battlefield. The organisms couldn't help whispering and discussing with each other.

For this group of guerrillas who resisted the rule of the ZAFT army (?), basically don’t think about any strict discipline rules, and now after watching a big show, they can’t help discussing the situation just now.

"Shut up!" Seeing the messy situation, the slightly fat middle-aged leader shouted at the guys in his tribe, and then looked at the little guys who shut up with satisfaction Finally, he turned his head and asked a blond girl beside him who looked like a boy at first glance: "That is the space battleship you mentioned, and the other two are Gundams, right? One is from the 'X' series Gundam." A new body?"

"That's right! One is a low-end MS special machine called Strike Gundam, a trial Gundam body belonging to the Earth United Army's low-end MS project. The other is the famous 'X' series Gundam new body-Sura Gundam !"

Listening to the words of the middle-aged leader, the blond girl whose first impression gave people the illusion of being stubborn and like a little lion woke up from the shock of seeing the one-sided battle just now. She nodded and explained to the leader while using He looked at the Strike Gundam and Shura Gundam standing on the battlefield with complicated eyes.

"Boss, what should we do now? Should we go back directly or go up and ask?" Hearing the blond girl's explanation, a young man with an automatic gun on the other side pointed at the battlefield where the prisoners were being captured, and asked with a wry smile.

According to their guerrillas, they discovered the movement of the land battleship that Andrew Balterfield was riding on before, and then followed them to see if the situation could help.But now, after seeing that the two units of the United Earth Army were as high as three times, five times and two times, and put down dozens of mobile suits under the famous Desert Tiger, the ridiculous idea of ​​"helping each other" before was directly thrown out of the sky by them. Instead, it is the fear of the weak against the strong.

"Let's get in touch! At least our current enemies with the United Earth Army are ZAFT troops..."

Listening to the young man's inquiry, the middle-aged leader gave a decision directly after thinking for a while.

Regarding the middle-aged leader's words, the blond girl wanted to say something, but a tall, brown-skinned man with piercing eyes pressed his shoulders behind him, and shook his head slightly to stop the blond girl from moving.

A little later, a jeep waving a white flag rushed down the dunes and headed towards the battlefield and the Archangel...

……

Ten minutes later, it was located below the Archangel.

"I am the supreme officer on the Archangel, do you have anything you want to talk to us about?"

Li Yuan, who had just jumped off the Shura Gundam, raised his hand to Maru, who had just led people down the command tower, and then turned to look at the tense-looking guerrilla members in front of him. The seemingly numerous guerrilla members asked.

Different from the original animation of "Gundam SEED", now these members of the self-proclaimed "Dawn Desert" resisting the ZAFT army did not rescue the Archangel at all, and even saw the Archangel who swept away many MS from the ZAFT army just as soon as he made a move After the number, there was no confidence at all, and now looking at Li Yuan, Maru and more than a dozen marine soldiers with weapons, including the leader who claimed to be Sebu Ashoma, they swallowed a little nervously.
