"Wild Boar Princess, now!"

Hearing the voice of Haman coming from the communication, Cagalli was a little nervous because it was his first actual combat, but he shot out of his mind the large nose-mounted Mega Particle Cannon that Bigro Custom had been targeting for a long time, and then felt the real force feedback that was slightly different from the simulator.

Although Haman quickly cut off the communication and did not want to hear Cagalli's rebuttal about 'Wild Boar Princess';

However, in fact, Cagalli did not bother to speak out to refute Haman, nor did he notice that Haman had cut off communication.

While panting heavily, Cagalli concentrated on observing the results of his own attacks - and Haman's by the way.

On his own side, although Cagalli had taken care to avoid Silver Wind when aiming, the initial power of the large Mega Particle Cannon on the nose of Bigro Custom seemed to exceed the performance in the simulator, and it still caused a small amount of near-miss damage to Silver Wind;

However, Ginn, the main target of the attack, seemed to have made evasive actions in advance and did not suffer any obvious damage.

As for Haman's attack on the other side, it seems a little weak.

You have to say that it missed the target. The modified Marseille III Transport's starboard side is billowing with thick smoke, which even affects the firing of the forcibly added main gun;

But it was a hit, and it didn't cause any fatal damage at all. Even the forcibly added main gun was probably still able to fire normally.

Just when Cagalli was full of random thoughts and just continued to advance with inertia, the communication from Haman was connected again.

"Then I will take the guests back to Gwameir first, and I will leave it to you here, Cagalli.

By the way, if you are hit by the enemy's naval gun again in this situation, you will always be Wild Boar Princess from now on!"

After Haman said this, Cagalli's brain finally returned to normal operation.

Just before Cagalli planned to reply to Haman, Haman cut off the communication again;

Observing that Haman was using mechanical claws to hold the escape capsule that should contain Lacus·Klein and return to Gwameir, Cagalli gave up his plan to argue with Haman.

But before Cagalli was about to attack the enemy who was attracted hatred by his attack and was rushing toward him;

Seeing Silver Wind who was still "faltering" due to the "pincer attack" between himself and the enemy, Cagalli recalled Haman's previous instructions, and that he seemed to be planning to apologize to Silver Wind just now;

But after he called Silver Wind while advancing, Ginn, who had broken into the attack range, began to fire at him with a 76mm heavy assault machine gun. Cagalli, who became nervous, forgot about the apology again, and just hurriedly vomited out what he still remembered to say.

"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!"

Briefly explained what Haman asked for, ignoring the feelings sent by Silver Wind who was actually behind Bigro Custom due to Cagalli's continuous advancement. Xie replied, Cagalli, who was in actual combat for the first time, could not help but focus his attention on Ginn, who was already very close and was shooting fiercely at Bigro Custom with a 76mm heavy assault machine gun.

Although he only had experience on the simulator, Cagalli still classified his opponents into difficulty level 4 or even level 5 based on experience - that is, ace or super ace.

After all, after just a simple single-point calibration, the 76mm heavy assault machine gun of Ginn began to accurately and continuously hit Bigro Custom of Cagalli who actually followed the experience gained in the simulator and made disciplined evasive actions.

It's just that although Cagalli was initially worried because Bigro Custom's onboard computer kept alarming;

However, as Cagalli noticed that all the alarms were only the second level of light yellow, and occasionally mixed with the third level of khaki, but overall they basically failed to break through the armor and cause effective damage;

Cagalli also gradually stabilized his mind and recalled more experiences on the simulator.

So Cagalli soon made a judgment - just like the most common Swordfish space fighter on the simulator, although the power of Ginn's 76mm heavy assault machine gun seemed to be higher, it was not enough to penetrate Bigro Custom's thick armor.

After coming to this conclusion, Cagalli gained the courage and began to use his own tactics on the simulator to respond.

Cagalli first pushed down the nose of Bigro Custom, allowing the two triple-mounted 120 cannons on the back of Bigro Custom to obtain a fuller range of fire, and at the same time, the firepower was adjusted to the maximum.

The Ginn on the opposite side did not dare to increase its firepower when faced with the firepower of two sets of triple 120mm cannons. It tried to use its more dexterous posture than Bigro Custom to maneuver to the lower left of Bigro Custom in order to make Bigro Custom The triple-mounted 120mm cannon on the right side of entered a shooting blind spot. It was easy to use the 76mm cannon of Ginn to attack the triple-mounted 120mm cannon on the left side of Bigro Custom, thus creating a fire gap.

In response to the action of Ginn, based on the experience of thousands of simulators, Cagalli chose to tilt the Bigro Custom appropriately to the right, so that the triple 120mm cannon on the left side of the back and abdomen can form a pincer attack on Ginn.

In this regard, it is obvious that Ginn is still unable to deal head-on with the firepower of two sets of triple 120mm cannons;

Moreover, the turret of the Bigro Custom triple-mounted 120mm machine gun has been properly protected by the mantlet. It is difficult to defeat it in an urgent situation with the relatively weak 76mm heavy assault machine gun of Ginn in the case of cross-fire.

In addition, since Bigro Custom's 120mm cannon firepower relied on automatic procedures, it was expected to block Ginn's plan to attack the rear by a single aircraft. Ginn ultimately had no choice but to turn to the semi-blind zone of the 120mm cannon firepower on the front of Bigro Custom.

"You got it, try this trick!"

Seeing that Ginn entered the front of Bigro Custom as expected, Cagalli shouted excitedly and fired 2 groups of 8 high-energy armor-piercing projectiles with a quadruple missile launcher.

But to Cagalli's expectation, Ginn on the opposite side miraculously completed the achievement of "wiping the bomb", and took advantage of the situation to pull out Ginn's physical heavy chopper and stab it at the cockpit of Bigro Custom;

As the two parties came into physical contact, the frightening roar of the middle-aged male pilot Ginn also reached the ears of Cagalli.

"Be obedient and become my trophy!"

As the Ginn pilot roared, a set of M68 "Leopard" triple short-range missile launchers on each of Ginn's legs also launched an attack.

The fear of facing an extremely close attack for the first time made Cagalli involuntarily let out a shrill female voice.

"No ah ah ah ah ah!"

This also resulted in a 'kind admonishment' from the other party.

"This is not okay, letting girls go to the battlefield or something like that.

Surrender obediently and I will take care of you lovingly."

Although the other person seemed to be saying some very kind words, Cagalli felt chills all over his body after listening to it.
