Under such circumstances, Cagalli finally resorted to the 'self-destruct' play method she had developed on the simulator:

A quadruple missile launcher is used to launch an anti-aircraft warhead, and it is equipped with a timing fuze with an activation time of 1 second - although in fact the physical heavy chopper of Ginn cannot penetrate the tightly protected outer armor of the cockpit of Bigro Custom, the firepower of the triple short-range missile launcher is also the same.

"Tch, that's it, and there's this trick too!"

Ginn, who was smiling strangely and pushing the sword with all his strength, was unprepared for this attack that could not be avoided. Although the armor at key positions was not penetrated, the joints and fragile sensors or antennas suffered;

In contrast, Bigro Custom, which still relies on the solid armor of Bigro Custom, which also suffered from sub-municipal warheads, can be said to be basically unscathed.

After such a round of extreme exchange of injuries for both sides, the advantages of Bigro Custom as a large mobile armor were fully revealed when facing the mere mass-produced Ginn:

Although Cagalli is only the first actual combat, with Bigro Custom's high defense and long health bar, it can only be regarded as a small breakthrough at best;

Looking back at Ginn, 'Ali al-Saachez' showed his superb driving skills that could rival a super ace, but Ginn's mediocre offensive and defensive capabilities made him completely unable to use it, and instead suffered from Cagalli's 'Fighting Fist'.

"I see, it is indeed the rumored 'Celestial Being'. So, I will say goodbye today."

After leaving these words, 'Ali al-Saachez' gave up the attack and prepared to disengage.

"Don't try to escape!"

Naturally, Cagalli would not give up, but before she roared and chased after her, the two Moebiuss in the group with Ginn finally arrived and fired their most powerful blow - four wire-induced anti-ship missiles each.

Faced with this seemingly fatal injury, Cagalli could no longer care about Ginn in front of him.

Fortunately, in the panic, Cagalli remembered Haman's previous teachings in time;

So Cagalli accelerated to escape and delay time, while setting all three groups of triple 120mm cannons back to interception mode;

Finally, after a lot of effort and a rather ugly performance of 'Itano Circus', all eight wire-induced anti-ship missiles were intercepted or detonated.

But when Cagalli, who had dealt with the threat in person, gasped for traces of Ginn and Moebius, he found that they had already taken the opportunity to escape, and even the modified Marseille III Transport was shooting behind Cagalli while speeding away.

After confirming that the modified Marseille III Transport main gun was not attacking itself, Cagalli was preparing to speed up the pursuit, but received a communication from Cima who was approaching at high speed despite the diversionary attack.

"Hey, Wild Boar Princess.

For a first battle, it was pretty good.

Then Cagalli·Yula·Athha, I order you to retreat and return to the ship immediately, and leave this place to us."

Cagalli habitually wanted to refute, but after seeing Cima's serious expression, he finally nodded obediently.

"Cagalli understand. I wish you all the best."

After watching the salute and cutting off communication, Cima and others pursued at full speed. Although Bigro Custom's onboard computer did not pop up the usual settlement interface, Cagalli finally had a real feeling of victory.

After squeezing his whole body on the cockpit seat and stretching his limbs, Cagalli was finally able to calm down his excitement slightly;

After taking off the helmet of the standard suit, he took a big sip of the energy drink and made a very unladylike sound;

He was quite leisurely and elegantly observing Cagalli, who was fighting on a real battlefield for the first time, and inadvertently noticed Silver Wind, which was still emitting thick smoke and was struggling to drive towards Gwameir, which was already quite close.

"By the way, Silver Wind!"

Cagalli hurriedly sat upright, put on the 'Celestial Being' standard uniform helmet again, and controlled Bigro Custom to catch up with Silver Wind, who obviously had an engine problem and was moving at a very slow speed.

"This is Cagalli, Silver Wind, are you okay?"

Soon, Cagalli drove Bigro Custom to catch up with Silver Wind, and then shot the communication cable directly from the upper side of the rear, establishing clear contact communication with Silver Wind;

A response came immediately from Silver Wind on the opposite side.

"Thanks to everyone at 'Celestial Being', this place was lucky enough to survive.

It was just that in order to escape pursuit, the engine overloaded and some malfunctions occurred.

In short, there is nothing serious on our side, thank you Mr. Cagalli for your concern."

Although the captain of Silver Wind did not know the situation, he directly counted Cagalli as 'Celestial Being';

However, Cagalli cannot argue with this point at all at the moment;

Therefore, Cagalli directly skipped this problem and discussed the current countermeasures with Silver Wind.

"Silver Wind's damage is partly my responsibility.

If you don't mind, I can go to Gwameir with Silver Wind.

It's just that my technique is not good and I can't control the strength as well as Haman;

Therefore, I would like to trouble you to temporarily turn off the thrusters, and the crew members on the wings on both sides should also temporarily retreat."

Compared with Haman, it can easily grab the rescue capsule of Lacus with a mechanical claw and ensure that it remains unscathed;

Cagalli is far from being proficient in controlling Bigro Custom;

Fortunately, Silver Wind is obviously not picky, and the crew members, including the captain, are not the kind of people to repay kindness with enmity.

"What did you say? Whether it was just now or now, Silver Wind is very grateful to Mr. Cagalli for his help."

After expressing his position in this way, the captain of Silver Wind directly ordered the crew members to come.

"Stop the engines and ask the crew members near the cabins on both wings to come to the bridge and prepare to execute automatic damage control."

Following the captain's order, Silver Wind's already extremely poor and overwhelmed engine after overloading could finally 'rest';

Then, after Silver Wind quickly prepared, the lights on both wings began to flash, and the captain also contacted Cagalli in time.

"Cagalli-sama, I'm leaving it to you."

"Oh, leave it to me."

Cagalli carefully manipulated the mechanical arm of Bigro Custom, adjusted it to the appropriate width, and then slowly clamped the two wings of Silver Wind with its mechanical claws.

Although the skin seems to be slightly punctured, the overall operation is still smooth;

After completing this action, Cagalli exhaled a big breath, restarted the engine of Bigro Custom, and contacted the captain of Silver Wind again.

"Then, I'm going to start."

"I leave everything to you, Lord Cagalli."

Under the control of Cagalli, Bigro Custom held up his "trophy" and finally ended the attack and returned to Gwameir, who was already quite close.

The crew of the Silverwind and Cagalli, who were directly brought into the Gwamel's Gnar cabin, as well as Cagalli's Bigelow suit, saw Haman's new human-specific Big Gehrig in the Gnar cabin, as well as the intact rescue capsule in which Lux was riding, but both Haman and Lux had already left the Gnar cabin.
