The Archangel Intervenes

"Anti-air warheads—fire!"

"Beam cannons—reflect!"

"Anti-Beam Mines—fire!"

"Auto-Intercept System activated!"

"Evasive maneuver—ten degrees to port!"

Though the Minerva had been battered all over by the SSF warheads, it continued fighting tenaciously.

Amid the roar of artillery, it laid down a dense barrage around the warship.

With support from Lunamaria, Rau Le Creuset, and Shin Asuka, the Minerva held on despite being besieged by three Gadi-Lu Warships and the MS forces of Orb and the Alliance.

But judging by the damage to the warship, if they did not find a way to break the deadlock soon, the Minerva sinking was only a matter of time.

"Hey! Tell the Second Battle Group to move in closer! Pick up the pace and finish them off!"

Seeing that the battle was not going as expected, Yuna shouted impatiently.

What the hell were these people doing?

His tactical plan had been flawless. If they simply followed it, they should have been able to sink that enemy warship for certain!

In contrast, Colonel Lugo remained perfectly composed as he observed the battle.

Hearing Yuna's shouting, he merely glanced his way and coldly objected, "The Minerva's weapons are still operational. We should not act rashly."

The situation was indeed favorable to them, but that did not mean the enemy was incapable of striking back.

There was no need to throw lives away when they could simply wear the enemy down.

"What is the Murasame squadron doing? Why aren't they hurrying up—"

Yuna wanted to throw another tantrum, but Colonel Lugo cut him off irritably. "This is not the same as the electronic toys you're good at. Actual combat is not that simple. Besides, because of your earlier orders, the Murasame unit was already badly mauled in its battle against the Prototype Destiny Gundam!"

That alone infuriated Colonel Lugo.
