Earth Force's troops attacking Minerva seemed a little overwhelmed after Second Archangel cut into the center of the battlefield. The mobile suits surrounding Second Archangel made the senior officials of Combined Fleet feel extremely sad and angry when they saw them.
Crimson Forbidden, Black Strike, Chaos, Abyss, Gaia, Crimson Aegis, Green Buster, Black Blitz, Blue Duel, Strike Gundam, and even Even Second Archangel itself is engraved with the mark of the Union. Except for the Chaos, Abyss, and Gaia machines, the rest of the aircraft, including the battleships, were all built by the Union. Even the Chaos, Abyss, and Gaia machines were snatched from ZAFT by their input of manpower and material resources.
Originally, these machines should have belonged to them, they were part of their war power, and they were supposed to fight for unity, but now they have all become the enemy's. Seeing what originally belonged to them represent other countries showing off their power in front of their eyes, that feeling is really a bit infuriating.
However, the intrusion of Second Archangel did disrupt the combat deployment of Earth Force's troops against Minerva. As a result, the pressure on Minerva was suddenly reduced a lot, because Because Second Archangel is blocked in the middle, in addition to being able to bypass Second Archangel's MS, the other side's warship cannot continue to suppress and attack Minerva with firepower, otherwise it is very likely to hit Second Archangel in the center.
Although the Union and Orb are now hostile, apart from the previous battle, both sides still appear to be relatively rational. Of course, this is also the reason why the Union does not have the extra troops and combat power to deal with Orb. Moreover, the two sides are still negotiating on the issue of prisoner handover, and they appear to be relatively restrained in dealing with issues on both sides.
Orb is because Neutral Countries cannot take the initiative to attack and it is inconvenient to attack, and the alliance is because the captives are already worried about completely pushing Orb to ZAFT and are unwilling to further complicate the situation, but Second Archangel appears like this, although he did not mean to attack actively, but the posture can make people understand that he is clearly helping ZAFT's Minerva, and he also released so many Customized Mecha in advance, showing a posture of "I will move whoever touches me," which also made the United side feel a sense of humiliation and anger.
And although there is only one battleship Second Archangel, the united side dare not underestimate the combat capabilities of this Second Archangel and the mobile suits guarding the battleship. Once the combat power of Second Archangel and Minerva are united, the attack on their force targeting Minerva will be devastating.
Among Dawn Gundam, Mu Ye carefully looked at all the surrounding situations from the cockpit screen of the aircraft. Seeing that Earth Force's offensive had slowed down due to their appearance, he nodded slightly and faced Bargyll in the bridge through the opened communication. said, "It seems that the United Alliance is indeed very afraid of us, but we can't always stay like this. Although we don't care if we offend the Alliance, we can't go too far without legitimate reasons based on our position. It's okay to have biases, but we can't really participate in the war."
Bargyll picked up the microphone at hand and said, "I understand this. Unless we jointly launch an attack, we must not have any attack intentions. The most appropriate thing now is to hope that the warship can seize this opportunity and leave here immediately."
"Oops, it's really troublesome." Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, the last time Orb was attacked by the United Nations, it already put the United Nations and us in a hostile position. Even if we want to attack them, it makes sense. If you ask me, it would be good to directly unite with ZAFT and teach United a lesson. We have to make some twists and turns in this way."
Bargyll neither denied what Mu said, but also disagreed with his words. He just said calmly, "This is politics. Although I don't know what you are thinking, it is better not to do anything that makes you and Orb too passive. At least it is not an opportunity now."
Mu Hehe smiled, shook his head and said, "So, I am only suitable to be a warrior, not a politician."
"Be careful, this is a battlefield after all. Don't be distracted by thinking about things you shouldn't think about. As a soldier, you only need to do what you should do." Bargyll put down the microphone in his hand, turned to the CIC next to him and said, "Inform Minerva and ask them to evacuate immediately. We will delay here."
"Yes, Captain." CIC nodded and immediately began to contact Minerva not far away and sent Bargyll's words.
Although Second Archangel and a small area nearby seemed peaceful, there was still a chaotic battle outside this area. Even though Earth Force's battleship bombardment path was partially blocked by Second Archangel, their mobile suits had the ability to fly and bypass the area where Second Archangel was located and continue to attack Minerva.
Even without the support of warships from the rear, there are not a few Earth Force MS surrounding Minerva and attacking. It is just that the pressure is much less than when Second Archangel did not enter the battlefield. At this time, in addition to the real Impulse Gundam, Athrun 0 on Minerva The two Savior Gundam machines of broke away from the battleship itself and were fighting with the MS of Earth Force in the sky. The three machines of Heine that flew out from Second Archangel were also restrained by Windam, whose number was at least ten times greater.
On the battleship, two Zakus, one white and one red, are basically used as defensive forts for the Minerva because they do not have the ability to fly. Facing the large-scale Earth Force MS, the five aircraft cannot intercept all incoming Minerva Zs. All the Earth Force MS attacked by the warships, and at this time, the outer wall of Minerva had already appeared a lot of damage. From what Bargyll could see on the screen alone, there were at least five fire points, and thick black smoke was still billowing out into the air.
On Minerva, Captain Talia already had the idea of evacuating immediately when Second Archangel entered the battlefield, but the M surrounded by Minerva There are a lot of MSs, and the battleships are also seriously damaged. With only the Zaku Warrior and Zaku Phantom left on the battleships, it would be difficult to evacuate immediately when surrounded by dozens of MSs.
The entire Minerva was surrounded by beams of light and Fire Snake, and the flames of missiles exploding made the ship continue to shake uncontrollably.
And after Second Archangel appeared, although Impulse Gundam defeated many Earth Force's mobile suits at once, it also made Impulse Gundam move closer to the front, almost even Just like getting into the Earth Force MS encirclement, even Savior Gundam and Blazing Tiger, who were in charge of support, were implicated, which made Captain Talia anxious and helpless at the same time.
Especially after hearing the first officer Arthur repeat the information from Second Archangel, he also punched the armrest of the chair, gritted his teeth gently and said, "Arthur, let Zhen and the others come back immediately and prepare to evacuate here."
"Yes." Arthur nodded in panic, turned around and began to contact the three real Impulse Gundam, Savior Gundam of Athrun and Blazing Tiger of Heine.
"MS appeared on the side and rear, number three!" As Radar Control reported from the bridge, three Earth Force's Windam also detoured behind the Minerva during the battle, and the Talia captain also reacted immediately. "Auto Defense Turret attack, Anti-Beam Flare, missile launch!"
As soon as Captain Talia's voice fell, four or five automatic turrets on the battleship Outer Armor changed their direction and began to attack the Windam behind the three detours. At the same time, almost seven or eight missiles flew out from the Missile Launcher and flew towards the three Windam.
This is not the first time that Minerva has been attacked from the rear by the enemy in this battle. Although the rear and bottom of Minerva are considered the weak points of this battleship, it does not mean that Minerva does not have the ability to deal with enemies from the rear.
Three of the missiles flew at different angles, and exploded without hitting the target. After bursting out with a burst of white light, they turned into starlight scattered near the back of Minerva, and the three Windam's attack originally had little effect when it hit Minerva due to the anti-beam coating. After the three Anti-Beam Flare exploded, there was no way to continue attacking Minerva.
Not to mention that there are still several missiles and three Fire Snakes attacking the three Windams. The three Windams seemed relatively calm in the face of the attacks from Minervas. They first launched a few attacks at the flying missiles and then dispersed in one direction.
Perhaps they ignored the role of Anti-Beam Flare. The original attack on the missiles did not have the desired effect at all. The beam was directly dissipated by the influence of Anti-Beam Flare not far after flying from the muzzle. Several missiles even dispersed as the three aircraft bodies dispersed, and they chased towards the target they had locked.
The three Windams had to avoid the pursuing missiles, and they also had to get out of the way of the Fire Snakes launched by Minerva Auto Defense Turrets, especially when they were originally far away from Minervas. With not far away, it was not easy for these mixed-level pilots to deal with attacks from two directions at the same time. Only one of the three aircraft escaped intact from Minerva's attack.
Among the other two, one was directly hit by a missile and exploded with a cloud of sparks in the air. The other one finally escaped from the Anti-Beam Flare's area of effect and successfully destroyed the missile, but was swept aside by several Fire Snake from bottom to top. Countless sparks appeared and a lot of bullet holes appeared. The pilot's death on the spot also caused the aircraft to lose control. It started to fall downwards with black smoke and flames.
