"The guidance tracking method on these missiles has been changed; they won't follow the same patterns as before. Everyone, be careful."
Noticing the anomaly in the missiles, Felix notified the others over the comms. Once the warning was delivered, he manipulated the controls, putting the White Ginn through micro-maneuvers to test the enemy's response.
After a few maneuvers, it became clear the missile tracking was persistent, and Felix confirmed his suspicions.
He shifted his hands on the controls.
The White Ginn's movements changed accordingly, and he raised the Heavy Assault Machine Gun to open fire straight ahead.
A few shots were enough to neutralize the incoming missiles.
Pushing through the explosions, Felix piloted the White Ginn to continue the advance. Once the other Ginns had dealt with the situation under their pilots' control, they followed closely behind Felix.
The squad flew through the air for over ten minutes before officially encountering the Earth Alliance Forces at a distance of about 450 kilometers from Victoria Spaceport.
Before they could even launch an attack, the Earth Alliance Forces struck first.
The air-to-air missiles carried by the Vanguard Fighter units were launched.
Equipped with thermal and optical sensors, the missiles flew toward Felix and his team at extreme speeds, while the tank units on the ground raised their barrels, firing electromagnetic cannons and conventional artillery simultaneously.
The shells trailed behind the missiles, closing in on Felix and his team.
Watching the dense barrage of fire, Felix maneuvered the White Ginn, using the Heavy Assault Machine Gun to blast the highly dangerous missiles out of the sky.
Inside the cockpit:
He pushed the throttle and pressed the pedals, controlling the thrust output of the White Ginn and the Guul.
The moment these actions were taken, Felix simultaneously input the corresponding commands. The Quantum Computer executed the instructions, and the White Ginn and the Guul performed the necessary maneuvers.
While executing these, he gripped the control stick tightly to make micro-adjustments, ensuring the movements were perfectly suited for the current situation.
Outside:
The White Ginn stood atop the Guul, which initiated the maneuvers first, dodging the electromagnetic shells that followed the missiles.
Having completed the dodge, it maneuvered again to evade the subsequent conventional artillery shells.
After the series of evasions, the White Ginn rode the Guul as it charged toward the Vanguard Fighter units.
The Vanguard Fighter units equipped by the Earth Alliance Forces coordinated with each other, forming a formation to meet the White Ginn's attack.
In the brief clash, the White Ginn dodged the fire from the Vanguard Fighter cannons, utilizing the Ginn's superior mobility and its own robust physical durability to execute a sharp, small-radius turn.
The White Ginn raised its Heavy Assault Machine Gun.
Muzzle flashes erupted as bullets tore through the chamber.
Bang!
The high-speed bullet struck the tail of a Vanguard Fighter with precision.
"I've been hit!"
Inside the Vanguard Fighter cockpit, the pilot watched the constant alarms on the screen and shouted over the comms.
As the shout ended, he immediately activated the emergency ejection system.
The hatch was blown away, and the seat detached, propelled by rocket boosters. It reached a certain altitude before the seat was discarded and the parachute successfully deployed.
Just as he was relieved to have escaped death, a single bullet instantly shredded the parachute.
"Ah!"
His pupils constricted, his eyes filled with the terror of death, and he let out a horrified scream.
His body plummeted uncontrollably toward the ground.
After firing that shot, Felix maneuvered the White Ginn to dodge in mid-air, evading the fire from the ground tanks before turning to open fire on the surface.
Two shots destroyed two tanks.
After those two shots, Felix performed another maneuver.
The White Ginn dodged the second wave of attacks from the Vanguard Fighter units in the air, and at the moment of the aerial clash, he drew the Heavy Slash Blade and slashed into a Vanguard Fighter.
Boom!
A violent explosion occurred instantly.
The pilot was swallowed by the blast before he could even attempt to eject.
He sheathed the Heavy Slash Blade and opened fire with the Heavy Assault Machine Gun.
Rat-tat-tat...!!
A few shots rang out!
Several Vanguard Fighter units scrambled to dodge, and their formation vanished without a trace under the pressure of those shots.
While dodging the ground fire, the White Ginn aimed and fired at the Vanguard Fighter units.
Two shots were fired, and two Vanguard Fighter units exploded and disintegrated instantly.
"These ground batteries are so annoying!"
Watching the situation on his screen, Felix muttered in annoyance.
The muzzle shifted downward, and the trigger was pulled.
A few bullets erupted from the barrel.
BOOM! BOOM!
Violent blasts erupted across the ground.
Two tanks were instantly blown to pieces by the bullets, while three others were flipped over by the explosions, rendering them combat-ineffective.
Having finished off the ground fire, the White Ginn aimed its muzzle back toward the Vanguard Fighter units in the sky.
Before firing, it maneuvered in the air to evade the incoming autocannon fire.
DA-DA!!
Two gunshots rang out as the bullets launched from the chamber.
The rounds streaked across the roaring sky, heading straight for the two Vanguard Fighter units ahead.
The pilots, alerted to the approaching danger by their optical sensors, gripped their control sticks to pull up and roll to the right, attempting to evade the attack.
The instantaneous G-force spike caused by such maneuvers made it incredibly uncomfortable for the pilots, even while wearing their Anti-G Suit.
Watching the two fighters roll and dodge, Felix pulled the trigger, and the Heavy Assault Machine Gun in the White Ginn's hands opened fire once more.
After the bullets left the chamber, the Guul carried the White Ginn through aerial maneuvers, dodging shells fired from both the ground and the air.
BOOM! BOOM!
Two explosions occurred.
The light of the blasts reflected into the cockpit.
Felix paid them no mind, continuing to pilot the White Ginn in combat.
He lowered the muzzle and opened fire on the ground.
After flipping and destroying two tanks with two shots, the White Ginn made a slight adjustment to the left, dodging bullets fired from behind.
In mid-air, the locking mechanisms of the White Ginn and the Guul disengaged; as the Guul maneuvered, the White Ginn spun in place, aiming its muzzle at the two Vanguard Fighter units behind it and firing.
BANG! BANG!
Two shots rang out!
BOOM! BOOM!
Two explosions echoed in the sky as the two ambushing Vanguard Fighter units instantly detonated and disintegrated.
Having dealt with those two Vanguard Fighter units, the White Ginn landed back onto the Guul. The Guul carried the White Ginn at high speed through the air, dodging attacks coming from other directions.
While dodging, Felix surveyed the positions of the remaining Vanguard Fighter units and ground tanks, contemplating a new way to end the battle quickly.
While he pondered, the Guul maneuvered to the left to dodge.
Evading the incoming bullets, he raised his gun and fired.
BANG!
The bullet pierced the tail thruster of a Vanguard Fighter, and the craft began trailing thick smoke as it plummeted toward the ground.
After failed attempts to recover, the pilot decisively chose to eject.
The ejection seat had barely cleared the craft when it collided with a bullet fired by the White Ginn; before the parachute could even deploy, the pilot was killed.
