"Lieutenant Li Xiucheng, he charged too fast."
"Lieutenant Li Xiucheng, is he too excited?"
Many mercenary pilots in their GM mobile suits grumbled as they watched Lieutenant Li Xiucheng, who was completely engrossed in the battle.
This was because the GM mobile suit pilots fighting in the same area couldn't keep up with Li Xiucheng's pace.
Li Xiucheng's Proto Gundam Thunderbolt had fired all its missiles. The particle cannon on its shoulder had destroyed a pirate's modified spaceship with a single shot, and the beam guns on its wrists had shot down many pirate MS units.
Upon seeing the Proto Gundam Thunderbolt, many pirate MS pilots fled as if they had seen a ghost.
"What are you doing? Attack quickly, running is useless, you're just..." Then, with a burst of static, they were instantly destroyed by the Proto Gundam Thunderbolt.
Many pirate MS units had fled the Proto Gundam Thunderbolt's combat zone, but many of the fleeing pirate MS units were shot down by the arriving GM mobile suits.
Although the Skywing Mercenary Group now held the advantage, nearly half of the GM mobile suits on the battlefield had returned to the mothership for repairs.
The Proto Gundam and the GP01 Gundam Zephyranthes had also returned to the Albion MS mothership hangar for rest. Six GM mobile suits were also undergoing repairs and resupply in the hangar.
The MS repairs were being carried out by the MD System's automatic repair program, using various equipment on robotic arms. Maintenance personnel were handling the finer details.
Long Fei was still in the cockpit, watching the battlefield situation on the screen. The display showed another message: another pirate rescue force had arrived, appearing not far to the left of their fleet.
"Captain Fix, I'll sortie with the Heavy Equipment Pack to intercept the enemy's second rescue force."
"It's too dangerous for you to go alone."
"Deploy the Proto Gundam Unit 6 and some GM mobile suits to accompany me. The rest will remain on the main battlefield."
Long Fei piloted the Proto Gundam Unit 7 equipped with the Heavy Equipment Pack.
Following closely behind Long Fei were the Proto Gundam Unit 6 and 10 GM mobile suits.
"If the intelligence is correct, this rescue force should be the last of the Sea Wolf Pirate Group's full strength."
The newly arrived rescue team consisted of ten modified spaceships and nearly 100 MS units, with no fighter jets.
Long Fei pressed a button, activating the pair of Mega Beam Cannons on his waist, instantly piercing two modified spaceships. He fired his right beam gun continuously, unleashed fire from the twin beam guns on his left wrist, and then launched missiles.
In one swift operation, he eliminated nearly 20 pirate MS units.
Avina whistled, "The boss's Gundam has such powerful firepower. Li Xiucheng's Gundam can't match the boss's Gundam's firepower."
Two targets were locked on the screen. Avina pressed a button, firing the two low-recoil cannons on her shoulders, causing the locked targets to explode into fireworks.
"Brothers and sisters, if we're a bit slow, all our targets will be taken by the boss."
The others also opened fire with full force.
Zoshan Taro watched the last rescue team from the command center. The enemy's MS squad was being slaughtered one-sidedly. The powerful firepower and performance of the newly appeared Gundam sent a chill down Zoshan Taro's spine.
Then, an announcer reported to him.
"Commander, our base is experiencing numerous unidentified attacks."
"What do you mean?"
"We don't know where the attacks are coming from. The search teams have all been wiped out."
"What are those wearing thermal sensors doing? Why haven't they detected the enemy?"
"Those wearing thermal sensors were prioritized targets, and then others were ambushed."
Zoshan Taro knew he couldn't just wait to be attacked. Eventually, the enemy would reach his command center, and his fate would be death.
Zoshan Taro had no choice but to take out his phone and dial that person's number.
"Mr. Zoshan, have you made up your mind?" the other party asked directly.
"Tell me the password."
After receiving the password, Zoshan Taro summoned his personal guards and had them escort him to his private hangar.
Zoshan Taro didn't want to be shot by an unseen enemy on his way to his private hangar.
"Damn it, it's a smoke bomb, thermal sensors can't detect it."
Immediately after, the other pirates began to cough violently.
"Damn it, this smoke bomb contains a potent tear gas!"
Then, the pirates heard the screams of their comrades, watching their companions fall into pools of blood.
Many pirates, terrified, dropped their weapons and fled.
Many pirates fleeing in the smoke were shot by unseen bullets. The pirates who managed to escape the smoke suddenly exploded into a shower of blood mist, then collapsed on the ground, their blood flowing everywhere.
Ten Skywing Mercenaries in War God Armor Battle Suits appeared. The one in the lead made a gesture, and the others immediately formed small teams of five and went their separate ways.
Meanwhile, a fierce gunfight erupted at a crucial facility of the Sea Wolf Pirate Group.
Twenty-three Skywing Mercenaries in War God Armor Battle Suits were taking cover behind various obstacles, returning fire. Three mercenaries were injured and were being treated by their comrades.
Why were the Skywing Mercenaries, with their stealth-equipped War God Armor Battle Suits, discovered?
The reason was that there were intelligent individuals within the pirate group. Wearing thermal sensors only made them priority targets. A clever pirate thought of a plan: to lure the unseen enemies hiding in the darkness into this important facility equipped with a fire suppression system.
Then the fire suppression function was activated, and water poured down onto the ground like a torrential rain, revealing the previously invisible Skywing Mercenaries.
"Mayday, mayday, we are under fierce attack by pirates, we need fire support." One of the mercenaries, hiding behind cover, called for backup.
"Roger that, we'll provide covering fire within 30 seconds."
"Hmph, these mercenaries were cloaked before, making it impossible for us to find them. Now that they're exposed, they're no longer a threat. Brothers, take them all down."
All the pirates opened fire on the opposite building.
Suddenly, one pirate's head exploded like a watermelon, splattering brains everywhere.
"Damn, a sniper."
The pirates, who had been firing at will, immediately stopped and sought cover.
One pirate, who didn't make it behind cover in time, was shot in the thigh and collapsed to the ground.
"Help me."
A pirate quickly ran to help his fallen comrade.
With a gunshot, the pirate rushing to save his companion was shot dead by the sniper.
After that, no pirate dared to rescue their comrades, and could only watch the pirate lying on the ground wailing.
The wailing pirate didn't want to die. Driven by the will to survive, he dragged himself forward with his hands.
Another gunshot rang out, severing one of his hands.
An even louder scream echoed in the ears of the other pirates present.
Then another shot followed. This time, the target wasn't the pirate screaming on the ground, but another pirate hiding behind cover.
"There's more than one sniper, run!"
The other pirates immediately fled to another room.
As they ran, several more pirates were shot down, but the others didn't stop to save their comrades.
The snipers hiding in the shadows, seeing that the pirates weren't saving their fallen comrades, changed their tactics and directly targeted the fleeing pirates.
The remaining dozen or so pirates ran into a more enclosed room.
Before they could even catch their breath, several walls around the room erupted in fierce explosions, blasting large holes through them.
Several Skywing Mercenaries rushed out from the breaches, gunning down the dozen pirates who had just taken cover in the room in one go.
"What fools. You thought hiding behind cover or in other rooms meant we couldn't see you? The thermal vision on our helmets lets us see you clearly."
A revealed mercenary stood over the pirates lying in pools of blood and mocked them.
On the other side, Zoshan Taro had run into an ambush.
