"Too terrifying!"
"Help! Help!"
"The firepower is too fierce! We can't hold them back!"
"I don't want to die!"
A Pirate Group hideout—an abandoned, decrepit industrial asteroid field—came under attack. The various mobile suits sent out were pinned down by the firepower of a gigantic object.
Yue Yangchun piloted the GP03 Orchis, linked to the Orchis Petals armament arsenal system, now known as the Gundam GP03 Dendrobium. Inside the cockpit, he unleashed the rage he had suppressed for so long. "Evil Fang Pirate Group, I've waited a long time for this day. Today is the day I avenge my parents. I'll wipe every last one of you out!"
The 108-round Micro Missile Pod fired, unleashing all 108 micro missiles. The pirate mobile suits immediately turned and fled.
Many of the pirate mobile suits were modified from civilian engineering machines. They were too slow to escape and were directly struck by the missiles.
Countless fireballs erupted in an instant.
Then the Gundam GP03 Dendrobium's Mega Beam Cannon fired. Many mobile suits were swallowed by the massive beam cannon and exploded, while numerous modified spacecraft were blasted open with huge holes.
The modified spacecraft with holes blasted through them either split cleanly in two or exploded into brilliant fireballs.
A single Gundam GP03 Dendrobium not only broke through the enemy's defenses alone, but also shot down countless Evil Fang Pirate Group mobile suits and modified spacecraft in an instant.
Explosions followed everywhere it passed.
The Gundam GP03 Dendrobium became the focal point of the battlefield and the primary target. Though enormous, it was incredibly fast. The Pirate Group's mobile suits could not catch up with it. Even when solid rounds hit, they could not damage its armor in the slightest, while Beam Rays were utterly ineffective against the I-Field generated by the I-Field generator.
Then the massive claws beneath the Gundam GP03 Dendrobium gripped huge Beam Sabers and swept them through the battlefield, slicing many modified spacecraft in half.
It instantly became the battlefield's reaper.
Li Xiucheng, piloting the Duel Gundam, watched in shock. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, isn't that way too terrifying?" Then he sighed emotionally. "A machine that powerful simply shouldn't exist in this era."
"It's been on the field for less than three minutes, and he's already shot down over half the pirates' mobile suits."
"How many mobile suits has he shot down already?"
Elsewhere, Long Fei piloted the Strike Gundam with Cannon Pack. Its four wire-guided cannons had originally been controlled through computer assistance to attack targets.
But as the battle progressed, Long Fei suddenly felt an indescribable sensation in both his mind and body. His body and mind became increasingly sensitive to the space around him.
"Could I have Newtype potential?"
Not entirely sure whether he truly possessed Newtype potential, Long Fei decided to activate the Psycho-frame additionally equipped in the Cannon Pack.
In an instant, Long Fei felt as if his mind and body had entered the vastness of outer space itself. He could keenly grasp the movements of every object around him.
The cannons' cables snapped free, and the cannons flew independently using their thrusters.
Long Fei closed his eyes. In an instant, everything around him became still and quiet, yet he could sense every movement in the area.
Several pirate mobile suits fired directly at the Strike Gundam.
Just as the shots were about to hit the Strike Gundam, it moved in an instant. It not only dodged perfectly, but immediately counterattacked and shot down the pirate mobile suits that had just attacked it.
Long Fei opened his eyes, a smile curling across his lips. He discovered that he could control those cannons with his mental power.
Long Fei controlled the Strike Gundam while using his mental power to direct the cannons, attacking their targets from tricky angles.
Many pirate mobile suits around the Strike Gundam were struck and exploded, frightening the remaining pirate mobile suit pilots out of their wits.
The pirate mobile suit pilots immediately retreated from the Strike Gundam.
But even after staying far away from the Strike Gundam, they still could not escape the attacks of the other Gundams and GM Mobile Suits.
Some were even more unfortunate, running directly into the Gundam GP03 Dendrobium and getting wiped out in a single wave.
At the Evil Fang Pirate Group's hideout, the one-eyed captain watched the situation on the battlefield and knew the tide had turned against them. He decided to abandon the hideout with the remaining men and find somewhere else to start over.
The one-eyed captain led his confidants away from the command room. Just as he stepped out through its door, a subordinate ran up to him in a panic.
"Captain, this is bad! The enemy suppression force has already broken into our hideout. Their firepower is too fierce—we can't hold them off. Many of our brothers have already died to their guns."
The one-eyed captain frowned and gave the order. "Tell all the brothers to hold on a little longer. After that, whether they want to flee or surrender will be up to them."
The one-eyed captain led his confidants and several trusted subordinates down an escape passage to a secretly stored fast escape craft.
As he entered the main control room of the fast escape craft, a black pistol pressed against the one-eyed captain's forehead.
The confidants behind him were just about to draw their guns when—
"Don't move!"
Countless laser sights settled on the vital spots of these pirate leaders.
At that moment, all of them widened their eyes. A group of warriors in black armor suddenly appeared around them, materializing like invisible people in a science-fiction film. Each held a rifle aimed at them.
The one-eyed captain and his subordinates hurriedly raised their hands, afraid that one accidental discharge from the rifles aimed at them would leave them without even a chance to surrender and beg for mercy.
The one-eyed captain's expression was extremely ugly. Only he and a few confidants knew of this place, yet the enemy had ambushed him here ahead of time, waiting for him to walk into their trap. One of his confidants had to have betrayed him.
The one-eyed captain knew he was finished, but he desperately wanted to know who had betrayed him. He asked, "Can you tell me who told you about the secret passage? I want to know who betrayed me, so that even if I die, I can die knowing the truth."
"I can't answer that question. Come with us. Perhaps my superior will give you an answer."
After the one-eyed captain and his subordinates handed over their guns, these armored soldiers escorted them to the plaza.
The one-eyed captain watched as the armored soldiers maintained order in the plaza.
On the left were members of his Pirate Group. Every one of them was either sitting on the ground with their heads hanging low or receiving emergency treatment and bandaging.
On the right were the civilians they had abducted. The civilians thanked the armored soldiers who had rescued them.
The one-eyed captain then noticed the insignias on the armored soldiers' shoulders. He recognized them as the emblem of the Skywing Mercenary Group.
The one-eyed captain truly did not understand. He had never offended this mercenary group, so he could not fathom why the Skywing Mercenary Group had come to wipe him out.
Looking toward the front of the plaza, he saw several Skywing Mercenary Group armored soldiers inventorying the supplies they had looted.
"You will sit here and await your punishment." An armored soldier pointed at the ground, telling them to sit.
The one-eyed captain sat on the ground dejectedly.
