Given Xiao Ran's skill and the immense awareness brought by the spread of GN Particles, the loss of GN Dragoons should not have happened. Yet no matter how careful Xiao Ran was, some losses still occurred. After all, although the Federal Army's mobile suits were scattered due to the distribution of their warships, there were still over a thousand of them. Every area was filled with an enormous number of mobile suits. Some might have been too far away to attack Justice Gundam, but there were still plenty within range.
If a thousand units attacked the Justice Gundam piloted by Xiao Ran at once, with a thousand attacks surrounding it from within effective range, then even a B-class Mecha like Justice Gundam would not have ended well. It would absolutely have been a case of machine destroyed, pilot dead.
But such a situation was basically impossible in war, and Xiao Ran would never allow himself to fall into it. The GN Dragoons sent out to spread and attack were fast, but their defensive performance was inferior to that of the main unit. Perhaps two grazing hits or one direct hit would be enough to declare one scrapped.
Moreover, GN Dragoons had their own limitations. They could not balance attack and defense at the same time. The destroyed GN Dragoons were not defensive types; the defensive GN Dragoons were all surrounding Justice Gundam. With stray shots flying everywhere, countless mobile suit attacks, and the support fire of warships farther behind, losing a third of the GN Dragoons was not actually much.
Yet those lost GN Dragoons had also brought down more than seventy Federal Army Zeon mobile suits and M1 Astrays. Against cannon fodder, there was currently no weapon in Xiao Ran's arsenal more effective than GN Dragoons. Besides, the loss
