Victoria Spaceport Defense Battle (Part 2)

The death of this Vanguard Fighter pilot did not draw much attention from Felix.

Maneuvering the White Ginn to roll in the air and dodge the bullets fired from behind, he raised his gun and returned fire in a hanging maneuver.

His lightning-fast reaction and firing speed left the pilot of the Vanguard Fighter attempting the sneak attack completely unable to keep up. By the time the pilot tried to maneuver his fighter to dodge, the bullets had already arrived, slamming directly into the nose of the craft.

The immense kinetic energy carried by the bullets shredded the nose with ease. Before the pilot could even fully activate his ejection system, he perished under the barrage.

BOOM!

An explosion rang out.

The Vanguard Fighter turned into a fireball in the sky, eventually disintegrating into thousands of fragments that rained down toward the ground.

Having dealt with that one, Felix simultaneously engaged the Guul's rear vector thrusters and attitude control thrusters, causing the Guul to spin in place and maneuver to the left.

The autocannon shells grazed past the White Ginn.

Seeing the White Ginn maneuver toward him, the Vanguard Fighter pilot who had just finished firing did not hesitate; he gripped the control stick and moved rapidly.

He pulled the nose up and banked left, preparing to turn and flee.

While he was maneuvering, the Heavy Assault Machine Gun in the White Ginn's hand had already opened fire.

Bullets erupted from the barrel.

They pursued the target at a speed far exceeding that of the fighter.

Before the Vanguard Fighter could complete its turn, it was struck in the tail by the bullets.

Billowing smoke poured out, and a moment later, it exploded instantly.

After firing that shot, the White Ginn maneuvered to the right, its muzzle pointing downward. The moment it dodged the incoming shells, it fired; the bullets dove downward at high speed.

BOOM!

Upon hitting the ground, it destroyed a Railgun Tank.

After that shot, Felix continued his precise control. The attitude control thrusters on the White Ginn, along with the attitude control and vector thrusters on the Guul, acted in unison, allowing him to turn at extreme speed while shifting his position.

As he turned, he also dodged the bullets fired from behind.

"Damn it! How are these Coordinators able to withstand such intense instantaneous G-force!"

Watching the maneuvers performed by the White Ginn, the Vanguard Fighter pilot's expression turned ferocious, and he let out a roar. A refusal to admit defeat rose in his heart; he operated the controls, disengaging the fighter's limiter in an attempt to challenge his limits.

The moment he was halfway through the maneuver to push his limits, the terrifying instantaneous G-force pressed down on him, plunging him into a brief blackout. Everything before his eyes turned pitch black.

He could see nothing, hearing only the urgent blaring of alarms.

"It's over!"

Having failed to successfully challenge his limits, he knew clearly that everything was finished.

He stopped pushing his limits, and as his vision cleared from the blackout, he saw the screen—but it was already too late.

His hand had only just begun to pull the ejection lever when the bullets shattered the nose of the Vanguard Fighter.

The pilot exploded in the sky along with his craft.

While blowing that one up, the White Ginn maneuvered slightly backward to dodge shells fired from the left, then raised its hand to fire in that direction.

The first bullet was dodged by a prepared Vanguard Fighter pilot, but the second bullet was not so easy to evade.

The bullet pierced through the Vanguard Fighter, blowing it to pieces.

Having resolved that one, Felix piloted the White Ginn toward the other fighters.

At this moment, in the Temporary Command Post of the Earth Alliance Forces, which had retaken the Victoria Spaceport.

"How are our offensives in the five directions progressing?"

Lieutenant General Hope, the supreme commander of the operation, asked his adjutant.

Upon hearing this, the adjutant compiled the current feedback and reported to Hope.

"Commander, it is much better than before, but our soldiers' physical capabilities are far inferior to these Coordinators, which makes our offensive not very smooth."

"You don't need to tell me that. Just tell me how the offensive is going in these five directions!"

Hope frowned upon hearing this, his voice sounding somewhat stern. The adjutant then continued his report to the commander.

"The East, Southeast, South, and West directions have suffered heavy losses, but compared to the North, they are still doing alright. In the North, there is that ace from the ZAFT forces. That guy alone is worth more than a dozen ZAFT soldiers, and he has caused us heavy casualties."

"Damn that coordination technology!"

Hope slammed his fist hard against the armrest, his face looking somewhat grim, his voice low and hoarse.

Having said that, he calmed his emotions slightly and issued an order.

"Send reinforcements to the North. I want to see if this so-called ace can still hold his ground against our reinforcements."

"Yes, Commander!"

Adjutant Horton replied.

The order to reinforce the northern front was quickly relayed to the troops deployed there.

Vanguard Fighter units parked in the hangar slowly moved out, taking off in formations of three; within a very short time, fifty of them had ascended into the sky.

In addition to the fighters, a portion of the ground tank units also mobilized, with dozens of tanks rushing toward the front lines.

On the northern front battlefield:

The White Ginn maneuvered left in mid-air to dodge while simultaneously turning backward, its Heavy Assault Machine Gun opening fire.

BOOM!

With an explosion, one Vanguard Fighter was destroyed.

After firing that shot, the White Ginn maneuvered rapidly in the air, evading attacks coming from multiple directions, and charged toward the three Vanguard Fighter units ahead.

Before the three fighters could successfully execute a turn and retreat, it drew the Heavy Slash Blade from its waist, swinging the blade to finish off the three Vanguard Fighter units one after another.

Having dealt with these three fighters, it maneuvered backward nearly a hundred meters in the air, dodging shells fired from the ground. The Heavy Assault Machine Gun opened fire.

RAT-TAT-TAT!!

A continuous stream of bullets erupted from the muzzle.

The fired bullets flew along different trajectories, eventually landing on the ground and destroying one tank after another.

After finishing these attacks, Felix maneuvered the White Ginn back another dozen meters, dodging attacks from both sides, and raised the gun to fire at the flanks.

Two bullets were fired in succession.

After these two shots, the screen displaying the ammunition count indicated that the machine gun was now empty. Seeing this result, Felix maneuvered the White Ginn to perform a magazine change.

The discarded magazine was tossed downward by the Ginn.

The precise trajectory caused the magazine to land squarely on top of a tank. Although it did not blow the tank up directly, it smashed the tank's mounted electromagnetic cannon.

Without the electromagnetic cannon, the tank lost its ability to attack. Faced with this situation, the tank commander decisively chose to order the tank to retreat toward the rear.

With the magazine change complete, the White Ginn dodged an attack and raised its gun to fire forward.

Targeting complete, combined with trajectory correction and Felix's personal maneuvers. The bullet fired from the chamber, flying at extreme speed, and ultimately destroyed the fighter.
