Those VF-1A Valkyrie fighters that had switched to Guardian Mode kept firing their Triple Gatling Guns, occasionally launching a few missiles as well.
Facing the oncoming VF-1A Valkyrie fighters, the Bipedal Combat Pods could only stop attacking the Macross and focus on dealing with the fighters before them.
Missiles and machine gun rounds from both sides exploded back and forth amid the city's ruins, leaving the already battered city even more devastated and shattered.
Some VF-1A Valkyrie fighters switched into Battroid Mode on the streets, hiding behind tall buildings to ambush the Bipedal Combat Pods opposite them.
The Zentradi Bipedal Combat Pods charged forward fearlessly, neither dodging nor evading as they advanced along the city roads with their machine guns firing at full force.
In the urban street fighting, both sides suffered casualties.
However, the Zentradi held the numerical advantage in Bipedal Combat Pods, and the Earth Sphere Unified Army was losing ground.
The Zentradi Bipedal Combat Pods continued charging toward the Macross.
Buildings throughout the city were continuously bombarded, collapsing, crumbling, and bursting into flames.
Some survivors inside the buildings had fortunately escaped the earlier bombardment from space.
Unfortunately, luck did not favor them this time. They failed to escape the artillery fire and perished in the flames.
Major Roy Focker and Ichijo Hikaru also joined the battle against the Zentradi Bipedal Combat Pods.
Major Roy Focker's VF-1S Valkyrie, in Guardian Mode, moved swiftly through the city's ruins without pause.
He continuously destroyed the invaders, drawing away the enemy to protect Ichijo Hikaru's VF-1 Valkyrie.
Ichijo Hikaru had been left far behind by him and could only keep accelerating, hoping to follow behind Roy Focker.
At that moment, the communicator inside Ichijo Hikaru's VF-1 Valkyrie rang.
A Bipedal Combat Pod had been spotted landing on the ground not far
