Chapter 623 Destruction
This new MS is also an enhanced version of M1 Astray, which is already commonplace for Xiao Ran and others, but for two people who belong to Zeon, even if they may know the existence of this kind of machine, it is the first time they have seen it with their own eyes. Federation has achieved such a great reputation of being invincible in Zeon and even in the entire world.
Gihren's eyes were fixed on M1 Astray falling from the sky, but he quickly shifted his gaze to the other side, Black Astray, who looked petite against the huge MA. Compared to the enhanced version of M1 Astray that dropped from the crater, the black Astray felt more special.
In the eyes of Gihren, an unqualified commander, but a qualified commander Technicians, Black Astray and M1 Astray are basically two completely different bodies, which are more in line with all the MSs currently appearing in the world. They are completely different. In terms of the structure of the aircraft, even the Black Astray of a series is much more complicated than the landing M1 Astray. Even if they are similar, even if they are a series, there is a huge difference in the eyes of Gihren.
And Aina completely focused her attention on the M1 Astray enhanced version. As the machine got closer and closer to the ground, Aina's heart couldn't help but jump. She felt that sitting in that machine was the man who, although they were not in the same camp, but connected their hearts.
The two siblings set their sights in completely different directions because of the appearance of a mobile suit. Gihren was obviously interested in Astray, while Aina was more concerned about whether the pilot in the mobile suit was the person she imagined.
El-Elf, who had been silent all this time, silently wrote down all the reactions of the two people. He also had a preliminary view of the two brothers and sisters. He seemed to have grasped the weaknesses of the two and took out his tablet to record it.
In El-Elf's opinion, apart from the elder brother being somewhat useful, the two Sakhalin siblings are currently unclear about the younger sister's abilities. However, even if she is a potential pilot, she only has potential, not to the extent that El-Elf can take her seriously.
However, my brother's technical level is really good. In the case of resource shortage, he was able to develop an MA that can destroy the atmosphere of a Federal Army base with one shot. Just as Xiao Ran said In this way, one gun can penetrate a huge mountain directly. This power is even more powerful than the main guns of many battleships. At least in El-Elf's own world, no battleship's main guns can do this.
The key is that the energy of this MA is only the Minovsky reactor of the three big demons. As for the energy utilization rate, the power of the MA's main gun is simply too terrifying. The ability to develop such an MA Technicians is completely worthy of increased attention and investment.
When M1 Astray landed next to Black Astray, the sudden opening of the cockpit cover made Aina's heart tighten, but then the familiar figure appeared and a tearful smile appeared on Aina's face. After Shiro Amada grabbed the lifting rope and landed on the ground, the two lovers who had not seen each other for an unknown period of time rushed towards each other and hugged each other tightly.
"Aina..."
"Shirou..."
Saki Maski's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at the two people hugging each other with interest. However, after a slight cough, he immediately looked at El-Elf who didn't understand emotions, and El-Elf said expressionlessly, "Now is not the time for you to be happy, there are still many things to do."
El-Elf's words made Shiro Amada and Aina blush suddenly. They let go of their beloved and stood aside in embarrassment.
Saki Maski glanced at El-Elf dissatisfied. "The love between the opposing camps in the war is so touching. You really don't understand emotions, and you don't know why the princess fell in love with a man with a paralyzed face like you."
El-Elf acted as if he had not heard Saki Maski's words, and said to himself, "After the Zeon personnel evacuate, either this MA will be removed, or the entire base will be directly detonated, and we must start preparing to welcome Federal Army who is coming from behind. In addition, the two of them also need to make arrangements quickly."
Xiao Ran nodded, rubbed Saki Maski's head and said to El-Elf, "Detonate the base directly to create the illusion that when we attack, Zeon Army detonates the base to stop us in order to retreat, Shiro Amada Second Lieutenant, you take Miss Aina and Mr. Gihren to the place where we separated before, and put them into Astray MS Battalion's pilot uniforms to become our members, El-Elf, I'll leave the matter here to you."
"I know." El-Elf nodded. Gihren also returned to normal a little at this time, and quickly said, "This base itself has prepared self-destruction measures for accidents. I can stay and help."
El-Elf glanced at Gihren and nodded without saying anything. He said hello to Xiao Ran and then left. Shiro Amada looked left and right. Look, after seeing Xiao Ran also taking Saki Maski onto the Black Astray, he also took Aina's hand and got on his M1 Astray enhanced version.
The two machines slowly rose from the crater. After flying into the sky, they flew directly towards the place where El-Elf and others had separated because they needed to leave the machine. About half an hour later, a warship spewed thick smoke and flames into the sky from the slowly opening launch pad of the Zeon Army base, and a M1 Astray also began to return at this time, but within a few minutes it had rejoined Xiao Ran and the others who had returned first.
One by one, the pilots who were not driving the aircraft jumped out of the aircraft and sat back in their own aircraft. Gihren, who was not riding in the aircraft, sat in the cockpit of El-Elf's aircraft. He stood behind the El-Elf chair with his head bent, his eyes scanning the entire cockpit, looking at the MS operating platform that was completely different from the Zeon Army system.
And El-Elf passed a countdown of less than ten minutes through El-Elf's body to the cockpits of all Astray present.
"Nuclear bomb?" Xiao Ran, who was sitting in the cockpit, was stunned for a moment after seeing the message from El-Elf, and then immediately ordered to take off and evacuate immediately. Although the current location is not close to the Zeon Army's base, it is not far away from the explosion range of the nuclear bomb, especially the large-yield nuclear bomb mentioned by El-Elf.
Even if the MS has good sealing properties, the shock wave and high-temperature radiation alone are enough to be affected by a nuclear bomb explosion at this distance. The explosion of a nuclear bomb in the atmosphere and the explosion in the universe are two completely different concepts. This is no joke.
Nearly twenty aircrafts rose into the sky at once and began to quickly evacuate in the opposite direction of the Zeon Army base. As the countdown time returned to zero, even if Xiao Ran had his back to the direction of the Zeon Army base, he could feel the landslides and ground cracks starting far away behind him. The entire sky seemed to have darkened under the bright light of the nuclear explosion.
The huge high fever caused even after driving at MS speed for nearly ten minutes, but the alarm in the cockpit was still beeping continuously and making people uneasy. It was not until they were far away that the alarm stopped.
An explosion completely turned a Zeon Army base into a ruin. The explosion from the inside turned everything in this base to ashes, and everything that happened in this base was covered up forever with this explosion. No more people will know that Xiao Ran fought for that huge If Federal Army had not obtained the MA and completely destroyed it, no one would know that Xiao Ran personally let go of those Zeon Army soldiers who were originally captured, and no one would know that there were two more people in Astray MS Battalion's battalion who did not originally exist.
When the Federation troops behind joined Astray MS Battalion of Xiao Ran, they had already detected the huge explosion in the direction of the Zeon Army base. Even if they did not see it with their own eyes, judging from the detected data, some people would still speculate that a huge nuclear explosion had occurred in that place.
When Colonel Rhea heard the news, although there was no expression on his face, he was satisfied in his heart. A huge nuclear explosion suddenly occurred during a battle, clearing Zeon Army's largest stronghold in East Asia. It was only the last step to completely drive Zeon out of the earth.
With this explosion, what he considered to be the most unstable and unregulated factor within the Federal Army also disappeared. Now many senior people in Federation know that Xiao Ran and Char seem to have a good relationship, and they are also cooperating to bring Zabi family's youngest son Karma In Colonel Rhea's view, New Zeon will become Federation's enemy just like Zeon, and Xiao Ran, who has a close personal relationship with the leader of New Zeon, will naturally become one of the unstable factors for Federation. It would be a real good thing if it disappears.
But compared to Colonel Rhea's satisfaction and calmness, Lieutenant Colonel Kojima, who was already on the second line, became anxious. Although the earthquake-like feeling was so far away from the place where the Zeon base exploded, he could still clearly feel it, not to mention the results reported by the intelligence personnel, which immediately made Lieutenant Colonel Kojima immediately issue an order to move forward.
Because the communication was interfered with due to the nuclear explosion, Kojima was naturally unable to contact Xiao Ran and the others. Kojima knew very well that if something happened to Xiao Ran and the others here, it would cause huge waves to the Far Eastern Front. This was definitely not something that Colonel Rhea could bear alone.
But fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Kojima's worries were unnecessary. Just as he was leading the vanguard to the center of the explosion, MS Unit, brought by Xiao Ran, was also returning. The two parties reestablished contact and reunited without any setbacks.
When Xiao Ran came down from his body, Lieutenant Colonel Kojima anxiously ran to Xiao Ran: "Colonel Alex, what happened? Are you okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, we are fine." Xiao Ran smiled at Lieutenant Colonel Kojima and shook his head, saying, "I didn't expect those Zeon Army to be so determined. After breaking through their defenses, they originally agreed to send the wounded soldiers away for evacuation, but I didn't expect that after their ship left, the remaining people actually activated the self-destruction program of the base and did not intend to surrender."
"So that's it." Lieutenant Colonel Kojima breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Xiao Ran's words, and said, "I thought there was a fierce battle over there, so I'm relieved that you guys are fine. It's just a Zeon Army base, and it's of no use to us. Anyway, as long as Zeon is driven out of the earth, the goal will be achieved."
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded, looked at the traces left by the nuclear explosion in the distance, and said, "Fortunately, Prudence felt that the situation was not quite right and did not continue to move forward, otherwise it might have been really bad this time."
"Luck is also very important on the battlefield." Lieutenant Colonel Kojima laughed relaxedly and said, "Now Zeon Army's base is gone. Good news has also come from the other three towns. We can finally have a good rest. We must celebrate tonight."
Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled, "Haha, I'm sorry that I can't celebrate with you. The mission only requires us to help capture Zeon Army's base. According to the regulations, we must go back to our troops immediately after the mission is over. Now that it is completed, it is inconvenient for us to stay here. Staying here would be a bit over the line. Moreover, the fleet of the universe is now under no one's control, so I must hurry back and take over the work."
Lieutenant Colonel Kojima was stunned for a moment, but then he nodded and said helplessly, "This is really disappointing. I still thought I could have a few drinks with Colonel Alex. Since Colonel Alex still has things to deal with, we can only have a chance to get together."
"But Colonel, your team's combat effectiveness is really powerful. The operation that originally gave me a headache was completed in just a short time. Moreover, I also heard that the Colonel has been traveling around the world to help other troops deal with the Zeon Army. Everyone is talking about it. Federation is now the invincible God of War, and Astray MS Battalion has also become the God of War Guards. I don't know how many pilots want to join it. Even I want to give up my current position and join Astray Fleet."
Looking at Lieutenant Colonel Kojima's emotional expression, Xiao Ran chuckled, patted Lieutenant Colonel Kojima's shoulder, and said, "If Lieutenant Colonel Kojima wants to come to my place, you are welcome at any time, and I would be very happy if you could bring your excellent pilots with you, by the way., I told your pilots before that if he is good enough, I can let him join Astray MS Battalion. I have taken a fancy to your 08th MS Team. Lieutenant Colonel, don't be reluctant to let go. If there are others who are willing to let go, I will accept them all, haha."
