The greatest contribution still came from the Star-picker.
Just then, two escort ships arrived from behind.
"Everyone, abandon ship!"
The Allied fleet was small to begin with, made up of scattered forces, so there were no longer any Nelson-class or Agamemnon-class ships.
If the MS forces were insufficient, they would use battleships to fill the gap.
"No!" But inside, Kurenai noticed something was wrong.

"Temporary framework established."
"Glory Defender energy circuit reconfigured."
"SRS system synchronization beginning. Kira, Lacus—please, the burden is a little heavy."
"Yeah!" ×2.
