After taking a look at Silver Wind's rather critical situation, he confirmed that Luther was really anxious about this matter, and Haman volunteered without hesitation.

"Just let me go, brother Luther.

This number of enemies is not worth mentioning at all."

"I'm going too!"

Facing Haman who planned to help and Cagalli who had already started operating, Luther sternly stopped him.

"No!

Haman Your Newtype special Bigro Custom is now equipped with the non-lethal Funnel for drills, which has only 30% combat effectiveness at most;

Cagalli, let alone you. Wasn't the lesson just learned enough? I don't want to make friends with Orb and become enemies with Orb!"

"But..." & "Even so!"

Facing Haman and Cagalli who wanted to refute, Tessa on the side spoke up.

"Luther, just let them go.

If the opponents are only Ginn and Moebius, Bigro Custom has enough advantages in performance and should be considered a suitable opponent for Cagalli's first battle;

As for Haman, could you please direct and take care of Cagalli?

I will also ask Gwameir and Cima to come over as soon as possible.

If this is only for a short period of time, it must be fine.

Is that okay? Luther?"

Faced with Tessa's calm analysis, Luther also recovered from the state of caring and chaos;

After thinking about it for a while, I found that the situation was indeed as Tessa said. Even if the pilot of Ginn on the opposite side was stronger than Rau Le Creuset, it would be difficult for him to suffer fatal damage with the defense of Bigro Custom.

"I understand, you two should be careful."

Facing Luther's concerned gaze, even through the biological induction helmet, you can see Haman blushing slightly;

Cagalli, on the other hand, looked determined and excited.

"Cagalli·Yula·Athha, Bigro Custom, it's time to fuck!"

"Haman·Kahn, Bigro Custom exclusively for Newtype, follow the instructions of brother Luther and attack!"

"Please be safe!"

After receiving the response from Luther, Cagalli and Haman cut off communication with Gwameir;

Haman, in accordance with the requirements of Tessa and Luther, commanded and took care of Cagalli.

"Wild Boar Princess, you can't bump around with your head covered in actual combat!

On the opposite side, only the main gun of the battleship should be a threat to the Bigro Custom you are driving. Just pay attention at all times and avoid the main gun attack according to the predicted rays given by the onboard computer.

Other attacks shouldn't pose much of a threat, so put all the triple 120mm cannons in interception priority mode!

Also, the large nose Mega Particle Cannon is not allowed to fire randomly, you must get my permission before attacking!"

Facing Haman, who had just demonstrated invincible strength and seemed to have much more experience than him in every aspect, Cagalli, who had already calmed down through Lacus's singing, surprisingly responded obediently to Haman's surprise.

"I understand! Also, Wild Boar Princess is too much, please call me Cagalli!"

"Okay, because of that sneaky cat Flay, I'll call you Cagalli.

Then Cagalli, we have to speed up!"

The two of them used the singing as a guide and quickly headed in the direction of Silver Wind.

--Silver Wind perspective--

On the bridge of Silver Wind, faced with the cruel reality that Silver Wind, as a civilian ship, could not compare with Ginn and Moebius in terms of acceleration performance, the captain of Silver Wind was helpless.

And as the distance got closer, the Ginn behind him began to use the familiar MMI-M8A3 76mm heavy assault machine gun to launch clearly intended intimidation shots, which made the captain of Silver Wind unable to think about why the other party had Ginn to attack Silver Wind. This question became more and more scary the more he thought about it.

Now, the captain of Silver Wind is carefully calculating the only 'chance of winning':

Using a suitable piece of gravel as cover, eject the rescue capsule where Master Lacus is, and then use Silver Wind as bait to lure away the pursuers.

To this end, the captain of Silver Wind is working hard to find the most suitable gravel on the terminal.

At this time, Ginn behind him was obviously impatient in pursuit. He used a precise single shot to hit Silver Wind at a non-fatal position near the left engine. His intention was clearly revealed.

In the dangerous red light, the crew of Silver Wind made a report with a trembling voice.

"The port side was shot! Automatic damage control is working and the situation is still under control!"

"Tch, there's no time... there's nothing we can do..."

The captain of Silver Wind was about to command the crew and sail towards a piece of gravel that he reluctantly took a fancy to, when he heard another crew member's report.

"Targets approaching at high speed are released from the right front, number 2!"

"What!"

In Captain Silver Wind's incredible voice, the crew member added.

"Optical profile comparison... no corresponding data!"

"... You said 'there is no corresponding data', do you mean..."

With this series of conversations between Captain Silver Wind and the crew, the hearts of all Silver Wind crew members were in their throats;

And after repeated confirmation, the crew member sent out good news that made everyone cheer.

"This outline! It's the mobile armor of 'Celestial Being'! Repeat, it's the mobile armor of 'Celestial Being'!"

"Great!" & "We are saved!"

But before everyone cheered for Silver Wind for too long, Silver Wind was shot again, this time on the starboard side at the symmetrical position where it was shot last time.

Obviously, this can almost be regarded as the final warning from the pursuers.

Captain Silver Wind made a prompt decision - it was a small matter that Silver Wind was destroyed, but it was a big matter that it delayed the contact between Master Lacus and 'Celestial Being'.

"Turn left 60 degrees, fast!

Once the escape capsule is at the right angle, it will immediately launch in the direction of the mobile armor of 'Celestial Being'!

We must let Master Lacus have smooth contact with 'Celestial Being'!

For Lord Lacus!"

"For Lord Lacus!"

Of course, the pursuers in the rear also noticed Silver Wind's plan and increased the intensity of the intimidation shots;

Silver Wind, on the other hand, managed to maneuver under the command of an experienced captain and only took 2 or 3 graze rounds in a short period of time.

Seeing that the pursuers from behind were getting closer and closer, the captain of Silver Wind also made a last-ditch effort.

"Eject the rescue capsule! Then the engine works beyond the limit. Let's see what our fate is today!"

As the rescue capsule carrying Lacus was ejected towards the 'Celestial Being' mobile armor approaching at high speed;

Under the command of Captain Silver Wind, the helmsman of Silver Wind used all his strength to push the engine power to the maximum;

The engine power, which was overwhelmed and began to smoke, fluctuated rapidly, making the trajectory of the Silver Wind, which was still turning at the same time, erratic. Unexpectedly, the pursuers who did not really want to sink the Silver Wind had to pause their shooting.

After observing that the rescue capsule carrying Lord Lacus was easily captured by the white mobile armor that fired a large beam weapon in the direction of Marseille III Transport behind him;

Although the pursuers were close at hand, the captain and crew of Silver Wind breathed a sigh of relief and were ready to face their fate;

However, at this time, another green mobile armor also opened the cover of the nose, and then another powerful beam swept not far away from Silver Wind. While causing collateral damage to Silver Wind's left wing, it also temporarily drove back the pursuers.

As the distance got close enough, Silver Wind also received the communication from the mobile armor.

"This is the mobile armor belonging to 'Celestial Being', Silver Wind, can you hear it?

If you can still move, move closer to Gwameir. If you can't move, abandon the ship as soon as possible!"
