(Seeing the book friends talking about the group, Yi Zui started a book friends group. The group number is 197703028.)
Archangel's departure was inevitable. Xiao Ran didn't want to, Kira didn't want to, and Miriallia didn't want to. But even if they didn't want to, the ship still drove out of the dock slowly and unstoppably.
In the bridge, Mwu was sitting in the captain's position, looking at the man wearing a mask with only his mouth exposed through the monitor screen. A trace of warmth flashed in his eyes, but then he became firm again, and said quietly in his heart, "Xiao Ran, I believe everything you said, but this is my responsibility, and I must bring Archangel went to Alaska to fulfill my responsibility. If it is true as you said, Archangel has become an abandoned son, a target, and been betrayed by Earth Force. If I am still alive after such a day, I will be with you regardless of anything and never be separated."
Taking a deep breath, Mwu showed his attitude as a captain, put aside all the love between children, and said loudly, "Archangel, move forward at full speed to leave Orb's territorial waters, target Alaska Base! All personnel are ready for level 2 combat."
"Advance at full speed and leave the territorial waters of Orb. The target is Alaska Base. Notify the entire ship and prepare for level 2 combat. Lieutenant Kira and Major Mu are heading to the waiting room."
Bargyll repeated Mwu's command loudly, and turned his head to take a deep look at Xiao Ran on the screen. "Xiao Ran, this time I will prove that you are Wrong, and then I will stand in front of you and tell you loudly that you are a coward who is afraid of death. If it happens like you said, I will fulfill my mission. If you die unfortunately, I hope you can live Orb for us."
Mu stood on the Archangel terrace, leaning against the rope railing while enjoying the sea breeze. He let the wind blow his hair and looked up at the sky. The dazzling sun made him squint his eyes slightly. "Major Xiao, Am I going to go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain? If I help you protect Mwu, you have to thank me properly. At least Bargyll should not be robbed by you, ha..."
Kira put on combat protective clothing and sat in the cockpit of Strike Gundam. Strike Gundam was equipped in advance with Flight Pack, which was modified with the technical support of Akatsuki Works. There was almost no difference in appearance. The only change was to allow Flight Pack, which could only be used for gliding, to truly fly in the sky.
He held the two operating levers tightly with both hands, lowered his head and said silently, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I have to wait until the war is over before I can fully return to you. Teacher, please help me take care of my parents. Thank you for your help, encouragement and support all the time. Athrun, I know you are waiting for me, and I will definitely protect Archangel this time!"
When the sailing horn was sounded, Xiao Ran also saluted Archangel with a standard military salute while standing on the top of the hillside in the bunker outside the dock. It wasn't until Archangel slowly became smaller that Xiao Ran showed a helpless smile, "What a group of troublesome guys, stubborn as hell."
Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Ran turned around and got into the car. After starting the car, the car rushed out like flying. The phone in his hand also dialed a number at the same time. "Director Symonds, are you ready?"
"Are you sure you really want to go? I really don't understand why Lord Asaha agreed to your request."
"You have already known about the people from ZAFT sneaking in, and now they are waiting outside the territorial waters. I can't just watch something happen to Archangel." Xiao Ran said firmly, with an undoubted tone. "And because Archangel will definitely belong to Orb, we must not let it sink now."
Erica was silent for a while and said, "Is it worth taking the risk of exposing that we have mass-produced MS for an uncertain ship?"
"Actually, you also know that the so-called possibility of exposure does not exist at all. The appearance of Black Astray at this time will not attract the attention of other parties at all. After all, Black Astray and Red Mecha has already appeared, right?" Xiao Ran said, silent for a moment, and then said, "And Archangel and Strike Gundam can deal with the enemy, so I won't show up."
"Well, anyway, Lord Asaha has agreed to your request for attack, and I have nothing to object to." Erica's rather helpless voice reached Xiao Ran's ears. "But you have to remember, we will not admit your existence if you have any problems. The machine is ready and can attack at any time."
"I know, thank you."
When Xiao Ran stood under Black Astray, what he was wearing was not the pilot uniform belonging to Orb, but a black and gold-rimmed pilot uniform that did not belong to any force. The slim design allowed Xiao Ran to reveal its taller figure unconsciously. Holding the helmet in his left hand and grabbing the lifting rope with his right hand, he slowly rose up and jumped into the cockpit of Black Astray.
Xiao Ran, who was sitting in the aircraft body, pressed the button to start the aircraft body, and the light in the cockpit also lit up the cockpit along with the startup interface of the Orb aircraft body.
At the same time, the outer armor of the machine that originally looked dull gradually turned into a pure black color. The Black Astray, which was originally almost all black, now has some golden stripes embellishment, just like the pilot uniform worn by Xiao Ran, making the originally black Astray look a bit taller.
"Black Astray, the attack procedure can begin." When the voice of the factory control center staff sounded in the cockpit, Xiao Ran also stepped on the pedal and pushed the operating lever on his hand. "Roger, Black Astray, Xiao Ran, the attack procedure has begun."
Black Astray walked down from the restraint frame with mechanical steps and walked to a large red circle in the center of the factory. The circle began to rotate and rise, and then stopped after about a minute. Xiao Ran in the cockpit also saw a long launch channel through the screen, and sunlight slowly appeared at the end of the channel.
When Xiao Ran drove Black Astray and stepped on the ejection pedal of the launch channel, and after making all preparations for the attack, he connected to the control center. "Black Astray attack procedure is completed, Xiao Ran, Black Astray, attack!"
Pushing with both hands, the recoil generated by the ejection made Xiao Ran lean on the backrest. Even with his current physique, he could not ignore the powerful force of the electromagnetic ejection in an instant, but his extraordinary physique also allowed him to handle such a powerful force without any discomfort.
As the ejection was completed, the propeller behind Black Astray also suddenly lit up. With the high speed of the ejection, Black Astray also rushed into the sky quickly, following the route of Archangel that appeared on the panel.
The thrusters behind Black Astray are fully open, and the speed can almost reach the speed of a large jetliner. This is because of the constraints in the atmosphere and the inherent limitations of the MS shape that limit the speed to this level. If it were in the universe, Xiao Ran absolutely believes that the speed of the current Black Astray is even much higher than that of Lightning Ginn.
This feeling of high-speed flying makes Xiao Ran feel bursts of joy, and once the flight reaches the corresponding speed and altitude, the energy consumption will decrease linearly. For the energy reserve of Black Astray at this time, it is not a problem at all. It can be said that Xiao Ran is already very satisfied with Flight Pack.
By the time Black Astray caught up with Archangel, the battle between Archangel and ZAFT had already begun. They were suspended far in the sky. After seeing the size of the enemy through the monitor screen, Xiao Ran's expression suddenly became heavy. Lai: "It's like this every time. The number of enemies that appear completely exceeds the number that should appear in the plot. Last time in North Africa, it was because Buster Gundam and the duel could not exert their full strength. There was no direct battle with Strike Gundam, and it did not interfere with the battle of Kira."
What appeared on ZAFT's side were two submersible aircraft carriers, three DEEN, two underwater MS Ginn, and four Gundams that had been chasing Archangel, Aegis Gundam, Buster Gundam, Duel and Blitz Gundam.
Xiao Ran also frowned tightly. "If I hadn't been more careful this time, Archangel might have been really in danger when facing four Gundams, five other mobile suits, and two diving aircraft carriers with only Strike Gundam and Skygrasper."
At this time, the four Gundams were flying towards Strike Gundam, each riding an unmanned auxiliary aircraft, and were already in an encirclement situation. The three DEEN completely ignored Strike Gundam and circled in one direction to encircle and contain Archangel. There were two Ginn in the sea that occasionally appeared to attack Strike or Archangel, not to mention the two diving aircraft carriers that were eyeing them.
As for Archangel, only Strike Gundam has already attacked. Mu's Skygrasper would also find it difficult to choose to attack based on the current situation. If he did not attack before DEEN surrounded Archangel, otherwise he would be surrounded or DEEN After gets close, once the hatch is opened, it will definitely attract the attention of the three DEEN, and the opened hatch will definitely be hit by concentrated fire. If you want to continue to attack at that time, not only Skygrasper will be in danger, but Archangel will also be quite dangerous.
"Skygrasper must come out first." Xiao Ran squinted his eyes, glanced at the screen, and finally aimed at the three DEEN that were rushing in the direction of Archangel: "At least two of them must be killed in the sudden attack."
After deciding on the target, Xiao Ran operated Black Astray to turn on all the thrusters at full power. All thrusters are not just the thrusters on the backpack, but also include the main thrusters and jet ports of the body, the two thrusters behind the sword gates on the legs, the jet ports on the legs and the soles of the feet. The propeller, coupled with the propeller of Flight Pack, was turned on at full power and still swooped down. The speed it shot out in an instant almost made Xiao Ran salivate. The speed was so fast that it was almost crazy, completely reaching the state of Hiss speed.
