Xiao Ran's action was of course provocative, and it was the kind of provocation that seemed to have no regard for the three opposite machines, or even for this Combined Fleet.
This action immediately caused some fluctuations on the side of Earth Force. The three machines that were clicked by Midnight Gundam also made some moves that seemed to want to attack. People in the whole world who saw this scene were also shocked. Everyone on Archangel also felt a kind of astonishment after seeing this action of Midnight Gundam.
"Who is driving this silver machine? What on earth is he trying to do! He actually made such a provocative move even when he was at an absolute disadvantage." Cagalli sat in the cockpit of Crimson Strike, looking at the picture on the screen in astonishment. He shouted in disbelief, "The silver and gold machines, and the black transformable machine, followed by so many machines are all Gundams. Where did these machines come from?"
Kira, who was sitting in Freedom Gundam, was slightly silent listening to Cagalli's words. Cagalli didn't know who the person on that machine was. How could he possibly know, but Kira, no matter how much he thought about it, the person who could make such provocative actions on the battlefield would be the Xiao Ran who planned everything in his memory.
And he was also curious about these Unknown Unit who ran out of nowhere but were in Orb. Why did such power appear in Orb after they left Orb. But what he didn't expect was that the silver Gundam was driven by Xiao Ran. Although this provocative action was a bit too pretentious, it was also done deliberately by Xiao Ran.
Before leading the team to contact Combined Fleet, Xiao Ran had not thought that the other party would have so many mid-to-high-end capabilities. Not to mention those few participants, all five G Series derivatives planned by Actaeon appeared. Now, there are even three more machines from the second series, the True Red Plunder, Crimson Forbidden, and Azure Calamity. Four of these eight machines have already crossed the C+ level threshold and reached the B- level, and the Crimson Forbidden has reached the true B level.
This unexpected armed force made Xiao Ran's initial plan to consume Combined Fleet unrealistic. The opponent's mid-to-high-end power alone could contain most of Xiao Ran's units, and it would be very difficult for the remaining MS to consume Combined Fleet.
Especially when the opponent has four B-class Mechas and one more than Xiao Ran, even if Xiao Ran has the confidence to gain an advantage in a one-on-two situation, it can still be used in this kind of group battle. There is no real one-on-two situation. Once one or two B-class Mechas of the opponent break free from the entanglement in a coordinated battle, then once the B-class Mechas break free from the entanglement, they will definitely bring some unnecessary losses to the team.
Even though the MS team currently led by Xiao Ran may still have some advantages in mid-to-high-end strength, Black Strike, Green Buster, Blue Duel, Black Blitz and The five joint participants Eshe are enough to cope with it, and they still have extra strength to cooperate with the Murasame team to carry out harassment operations, but Combined Fleet's huge number of MSs will even out these advantages or even overtake them.
What Xiao Ran is really worried about is that the opponent's four B-class Mechas will attack the machine behind him in a targeted manner. All the people in this team, including the participants, are currently at the highest power level of Orb. It is absolutely impossible for Xiao Ran to sacrifice their lives here through consumption, especially when Orb currently lacks strength.
The reason why Xiao Ran is so provocative is that it was a change after the plan could not continue. The purpose was just to thoroughly clarify whether the specific combat power of these three new aircraft has truly reached the level of true B-level. The difference between an excellent B-class Pilot and a pilot who only drives B-body but not B-level is very Big, if only the aircraft is B-level, then Xiao Ran is sure to kill the opponent's three aircraft. However, if the pilots of the opponent's three aircraft also reach B-level, then Xiao Ran can only order everyone to retreat, and is thinking of other ways to reduce Combined Fleet's combat power and quantity.
Xiao Ran estimates that these three machines should be Nuclear Engine equipped with N-Jammer Canceller, which should be correct, but Midnight Gundam is a new battery backpack developed by Orb. Although the energy aspect is different from the MS energy two years ago, Midnight Gundam really cannot reach that level if it really consumes it.
But Midnight Gundam has a special ability, that is, it can reflect the beam and turn the enemy's attack into its own attack. This alone allows Xiao Ran to drive Midnight Gundam against three opponent B-class Mecha is possible. After all, Yashakani System can be reflected even by Positron Cannon used on battleships, but MS attacks cannot reach the level of battleship Positron Cannon.
As for Golden Scavenger, Crimson Forbidden, and Azure Calamity, the one that Xiao Ran must pay attention to is the Golden Scavenger with the highest penetration ability and the ability to attack with beams and live ammunition. As for Crimson Forbidden, although it has a beam Energy-diverting Armor, it can be said that it does not have live ammunition attack capabilities except for melee attacks. In addition to the hand-held shield Gatling Cannon, Azure Calamity's maximum firepower output is also a beam type and does not have melee capabilities, so it is easier to deal with it.
Based on one point, and with the support of Athrun, Mu, Eshe and others behind him, even if the opponent is really three B-class Pilot, Xiao Ran, a guy who can be said to have reached the peak of B-level in Pilot Level, is also fully capable of protecting himself. He can run away even if he can't be beaten, so Xiao Ran has no pressure to provoke.
Midnight Gundam's actions seemed to make the pilots of the three aircraft a little angry, while the five G-series derivatives of Goufs remained quiet and did not make any move. Just when the opponent Crimson Forbidden waved the double-sided sickle in his hand, leaned forward and started to rush towards Midnight Gundam, a seemingly unfair battle began.
The speed at which Crimson Forbidden flew towards Midnight Gundam was somewhat unexpected by Xiao Ran, but in terms of burst speed, this Crimson Forbidden seems to be slightly faster than Freedom Gundam Some, but fast speed does not mean everything. This speed is just the same for Xiao Ran. Even Kira can also handle it calmly when driving Freedom Gundam, far from the level that makes him unable to react.
"Choose melee combat." Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, and operated Midnight Gundam. The moment Crimson Forbidden rushed over and swung the sickle, he suddenly pulled it up, and saw a flash of light and shadow, Crimson Forbidden The scythe swung past Midnight Gundam's feet, and after Midnight Gundam dodged Crimson Forbidden's attack, Beam Rifle held in both hands also fired countless beams downward and forward.
Xiao Ran's response was dissatisfied, but Crimson Forbidden's pilot responded equally quickly. The beams on both sides of Energy-diverting Armor stood up at the same time, forming a position that completely deflected the attack from Midnight Gundam, allowing all the beams to form a zone and then fly into the sea. The next moment, Midnight Gundam's forward knee movement directly hit Crimson Forbidden's head. The huge force directly broke one of the horns on Crimson Forbidden's head. Countless sparks also popped out, and caused Crimson Forbidden's head to deflect and the body to temporarily lose control.
However, Midnight Gundam, who had achieved this step and gained the advantage in one round, continued to attack without mercy. The 73F-type High-energy Beam Cannon on both sides of the waist popped up instantly, and the two beams struck Crimson Forbidden again, but they also bypassed the front of Crimson Forbidden as before, and were completely blocked by Beam Directional Armor.
In such a round of confrontation, although Xiao Ran cannot determine the true level of this pilot, it can also be seen that the opponent's reaction is not bad, and he can deal with his own attacks relatively calmly, but his experience seems to be somewhat lacking. Otherwise, After Midnight Gundam dodges the first attack of Crimson Forbidden, the opponent should duck away or flip up the backpack and cover it. However, being able to operate Beam Directional Armor for defense while temporarily losing control of the aircraft is enough to show that the pilot's ability is not bad.
And at this point, Xiao Ran can see that it will really take time and effort for this machine to defeat Crimson Forbidden. Crimson Forbidden also With PS Armor and beam Energy-diverting Armor, it is necessary to hit the opponent and create a chance of victory, and the imbalance of Crimson Forbidden is such a good opportunity.
In the short Setsuna time before Crimson Forbidden regained its balance, a black and yellow machine flew towards Midnight Gundam accompanied by four red electromagnetic beams flying from a distance., those four beams were launched by Azure Calamity, and their purpose was probably to prevent Midnight Gundam from continuing to pursue. They passed Golden Scavenger extremely accurately and appeared in front of Midnight Gundam in the blink of an eye.
If Xiao Ran wanted to hide, these four beams would not be able to hit Midnight Gundam. However, after seeing that one re-transform into MS Form after a high-speed dash, it threw in its direction. Meteors's true yellow Raider Gundam and Xiao Ran also had a disdainful smile on their lips. Under the astonished gazes of countless people, they opened their arms directly to meet the four beams of light emitted by Azure Calamity.
When the four beams of light hit Midnight Gundam, many people thought that the silver machine body would be penetrated directly and then explode. But what surprised them was that a faint light seemed to appear in front of Midnight Gundam. This was caused by Yasakani no Magatama Armor. The reflective stance formed twisted and absorbed all four beams. Then with a tiny movement of Midnight Gundam, four beams of the same color appeared out of thin air from the fuselage and flew directly towards Golden Scavenger, who was attacking Midnight Gundam.
