"Miriallia, Kira should be temporarily unconscious. Contact Major La Flaga first and ask him to attack!"

Although Badgiruel instructed Miriallia in this way, Miriallia, which was originally very 'easy to use', obviously did not listen and kept calling Kira;

In response, Badgiruel frowned, but in the end he suppressed his emotions and gave orders to Kuzzey.

"Kuzzey, please contact Sergeant Major Murdoch and ask him to ask Major La Flaga to attack!"

"Ah, yes!"

Seeing Kuzzey follow the order and leave, Badgiruel continued to issue instructions firmly.

"Sai, 'Valiant' are all left to you, don't let the last one get a chance to get close to this ship and Strike Gundam!

Tolle, replace all the missile launch tubes at the tail of the ship with armor-piercing bombs, and use a group of 4 missiles to chase the last aircraft!

Then Kuzzey, wait for Major La Flaga to attack and contact Sergeant Major Murdoch again later, asking him to prepare manpower to pull Strike Gundam in case of emergency."

As the three of them followed the order, Miriallia seemed to have regained his composure after listening to Badgiruel's orderly arrangements.

After wiping his tears and confirming that Kira was still in a coma, Miriallia turned around and bowed his head to apologize to Badgiruel, and then took over his own job again.

"Major La Flaga, are you ready to attack?"

"Miss, have you calmed down?

Don't worry, Strike Gundam is very strong, and the boy is 'Ultimate Coordinator', he must have just fainted temporarily."

Faced with the relief of Mu, who had already guessed the situation after being told by Sergeant Major Murdoch, Miriallia nodded gratefully;

When Miriallia called Mu, Badgiruel also directly intervened.

"Major La Flaga, although the enemy only has the last aircraft, Moebius is still too weak as a combat force.

Please cooperate with the supporting firepower of Archangel to drive the opponent away."

"If the other party doesn't leave, try to cooperate with Archangel's firepower to knock her down, right?

My opponent is 'Newtype', and although I am probably very tired, I really don't know if it will go well."

For Mu, who also has a high level of tactical literacy, Badgiruel's order is enough to "know the elegant meaning after hearing the strings";

In response to Mu's "Shangdao" response, Badgiruel somewhat smiled and even made a joke about Mu.

"Major La Flaga, don't you also call yourself 'Newtype'? This level should not be difficult for you, Major, right?"

It was rare to hear Badgiruel's 'joke'. Even Murrue on the captain's seat couldn't control himself and laughed slightly out of place. However, this greatly relieved the slightly gloomy atmosphere on the bridge.

"Sorry, everyone.

But no matter what, although Sergeant Major Murdoch and Mr. Military Doctor may complain a little later, fortunately, at least in terms of personnel, everyone is safe and sound.

As long as this last machine is solved, we should be able to successfully merge with the 8th Fleet advance fleet, right?

Please, Major La Flaga."

Although Kira's current state is a little less than safe and sound, on the whole, the situation is indeed as Murrue said;

Therefore, after Murrue's speech, the atmosphere on the bridge further improved. Under such circumstances, Mu Ye was able to attack again with peace of mind.

"Then, Mu·La·La Flaga, Moebius, attack immediately!"

During Murrue's serious salute, Mu returned the salute casually and then cut off the communication.

--The other side, Shiho Hahnenfuss perspective--

Seeing Strike Gundam losing control in front of him, Shiho Hahnenfuss, who was piloting the only pre-production model GuAIZ in the three-machine team, was hesitating.

As their companions were killed one after another, facing the still intact Archangel, Shiho Hahnenfuss naturally did not think that they could defeat it alone.

It now appears that the previous attack by Creuset Team, which was based on Heliopolis, was far from testing the upper limit of the combat power of 'Long Legs'. Shiho Hahnenfuss believes that an optimistic estimate requires at least 6 GuAIZ, not the 6 Ginn previously estimated.

Therefore, what Shiho Hahnenfuss is hesitating about now is whether to hold on a little longer against Archangel's greatly enhanced firepower because he is the only target left before retreating, risking the possibility that the experimental beam weapon may be scrapped, and try to see if he can forcibly defeat Strike Gundam, which has lost control and Phase Shift Armor's protection.

If you take into account the huge sacrifices made to force Strike Gundam into such a situation and the huge strategic significance of defeating Strike Gundam, this decision did not require too much hesitation.

But the reality is that there are many and huge negative factors that prevent Shiho Hahnenfuss from implementing this decision.

For the rational Shiho Hahnenfuss, she began to quickly assign values to various factors to complete the decision as soon as possible - after all, the experimental beam weapon she had just used still needed a little time before it cooled down enough to be forced to fire, which must be enough for Shiho Hahnenfuss to complete the decision.

Shiho Hahnenfuss did not hesitate to give a +200 bonus to defeating Strike Gundam itself.

Putting aside purely emotional factors, or 'compensating for the sacrifice of companions' which has become a sunk cost, destroying the last machine of the 'G' plan, that is, destroying the mobile suit development plan of the Earth Alliance as much as possible, is of such value.

But apart from that, almost all major factors are negative.

First of all, in order to defeat Strike Gundam, we need to risk the beam weapon experimental model GuAIZ being destroyed.

The loss of pilot Shiho Hahnenfuss Hanifs is harmless, just consider it -5;

However, the beam weapon experimental type GuAIZ itself and the test data obtained still have a certain value. Although it is far less than the +200 of 'defeating Strike Gundam', the -20 is still there;

So in this regard, the total is -25.

Then the bigger question is, can the experimental beam weapon that has been used to its limit really be able to produce enough damage to defeat Strike Gundam after being fully irradiated?

After once again confirming that the experimental beam weapon was in a terrible state, and taking into account the effects of previous actual combat strikes, Shiho Hahnenfuss finally directly assigned a value of -100 to this item.

After all, the effects of the previous four strikes were comprehensively considered, especially the third strike, which although it failed to hit the bridge, had almost no obvious damage to the new battleship Archangel;

Regarding the newly manufactured Strike Gundam and Shiho Hahnenfuss from the same batch, we have to make conservative judgments.

In addition, although Shiho Hahnenfuss Hanifs is not of high value as a pilot;

However, considering that this attack on Archangel and the attack on Strike Gundam are likely to end in failure;

And the actual combat data of the early mass production model GuAIZ is also of considerable value;

Shiho Hahnenfuss ultimately assigned a value of -60 to protect this combat data.

In this way, the positive factor is +200, and the negative factor is -185. Sure enough, we should try to destroy Strike Gundam again.

After confirming that the experimental beam weapon was almost ready for use, Shiho Hahnenfuss made a decision and began to try to find suitable gravel as a cover to launch an attack amidst Archangel's rather powerful firepower.

However, as Mu drove Moebius to attack, Shiho Hahnenfuss had to give a -20 bonus for this, because this almost eliminated the possibility of Shiho Hahnenfuss relying on gravel cover to launch an attack;

At the same time, Shiho Hahnenfuss's intuition is also telling him that there will be no benefit in continuing to persist.

After reason and intuition gave a unified answer at the same time, Shiho Hahnenfuss stopped insisting and began to retreat firmly and quickly.
