Chapter 108: MVP of the game, Thunder Gundam Nigel
"Secretary of Foreign Affairs Alstar, are you nervous?"
After receiving a warning from the Archangel, the members of the Atlantic Federation Army advance team were informed that they would most likely be attacked by ZAFT next.
Therefore, the advance team members on this timeline still have a good mentality.
"Hahaha." Facing the advance team commander's inquiry, Alsda maintained his composure and gave a hearty laugh.
With his eyes inconspicuously looking through the window, he glanced at the Drake-class frigate from East Asia in the fleet.
The source of his confidence is self-evident. Of course, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs would never tell anyone about this.
It is even more impossible to make such a low-level politically correct mistake, so Alsda said the absolutely right thing.
"I have the protection of the Atlantic Federation soldiers and the capable generals of Admiral Halberton of the Eighth Fleet."
"Why should I worry? The Archangel is also heading towards us at high speed. In front of the united coalition forces, a mere adjuster is not a threat."
"Those are reassuring words." The commander of the advance team smiled when he heard that, even though he knew that the Deputy Foreign Minister next to him was just being polite.
But he couldn't possibly say in front of so many soldiers that what the Deputy Foreign Minister said was wrong, right?
That would be a huge blow to the soldiers' morale!
Moreover, the commander's eyes wandered for a moment. He saw the warship of the East Asian Army outside the window and thought of Wang Hu on the Archangel who was rushing over.
"Everyone, prepare for battle. The main force of the Eighth Fleet is moving towards us, and the Archangel, which was rescued by our army, is also on its way to join us!"
The commander of the advance team reminded everyone implicitly that their army had a huge advantage and they should not be afraid!
"so!"
However, before he could finish his words, the alarms on the four warships in the entire fleet rang out.
"ZAFT MS attack detected. 7 enemy battleships! 15 Jinns! 15 Xigus. 3 Gundams were taken!"
"Pay special attention, there is a new type of machine in the enemy camp that has not been recorded!"
"The optical detection lens has captured the enemy image and will be projected onto the big screen immediately!"
The radar officer's words interrupted the commander's mobilization document. Faced with the ZAFT army that suddenly appeared imminently, how could he have the time to listen to his long-winded pep talk?
"What?" The commander pressed hard on the armrests on both sides of the seat under him.
Because of nervousness, his whole body unconsciously leaned forward, staring at the one thing on the screen that needed special attention, the black-painted MS with a disc and a shuttle-like weapon on its back.
He blurted out. "The damn ZAFT army also has new equipment? What is this? Xigu?"
The members on the bridge were destined to be unable to answer this question. After all, no one stipulated that only the Allied Forces could have new equipment, right?
"Commander, can our army handle the enemy's attack?"
Faced with the ZAFT army's strength that far exceeded his imagination, Vice Foreign Minister Alstar could no longer sit still.
Although he was a civil servant in the strict sense, he was not responsible for military affairs.
But after all, he is also a well-deserved senior official in the Atlantic Federation's power structure.
The United Army publicized that the official loss ratio between Mobius and King was 5:1, but that was just propaganda!
If the casualty ratio was really 5 to 1, how could the United Army, with its size, be defeated repeatedly and retreat step by step under the offensive of the ZAFT Army?
Or is the 5 to 1 casualty ratio calculated based on the casualty ratio of the East Asian Army and the ZAFT Army?
In that case!
Turning his head sharply to look at the Drake-class frigate of the East Asian Army next to his own ship, Alstar could only pray silently that the members of the army on that warship were strong enough!
"Mobius Squadron, all of them, attack. The entire fleet will deploy in a box formation. As long as we hold out until the Archangel arrives and the main force of the Eighth Fleet arrives, we will win!"
His mouth was numb and the commander of the advance team had no time to negotiate social etiquette with Deputy Foreign Minister Alstar.
He simply ignored the questions he raised. The top priority at the moment was to save his own life!
"Quick, contact the Drake-class frigates of the East Asian Army and ask them if they have any countermeasures?"
"I can also hand over the command of the entire fleet when necessary!"
It must be said that this commander was still clear-headed. Between life and face, he chose life.
"Izak, Diego" Cruze drove the strange-looking Sigu flying in front of a large group of MS.
If you don't look at the head of the MS, the Xigu he was driving at this time already had some flavor of the Godly Gundam.
At least the disc that Xigu carried on his back was exactly the same as the weapon pack on the back of the Providence Gundam.
The only thing lacking is that there are not enough dragoons. Now there are only six on the disc on Xigu's back, and they are all controlled by wires.
Looking at his lovely subordinates behind him, Cruze called out two names and paused.
"Captain, I can do it." Nigel, whose appearance had changed drastically in the Thunderbolt Gundam, took the initiative to speak gently when he saw this.
"I know." Akatsuki was bent on revenge against the entire world and wanted all humans to die with him.
Cruze, the world's current biggest behind-the-scenes boss, saw what Nicole, who used to be quiet and prettier than an average girl, looks like now.
He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable looking at it. The green and smooth hair under the helmet was gone, replaced by a wrinkled, rugged, scarlet scalp that had been burned.
With his head in such a state, Nigel's body was naturally not left in a bad state either, even though he was now wearing combat uniform. When he was on the ship, he also tried to wear long-sleeved shirts, gloves and hats, wishing to cover all his skin.
But everyone who should know knows it. After all, the space inside the ship is so small, and everyone can see each other whenever they look up or down. How can it be completely concealed?
In addition to the problem of skin burning, Cruze's gaze moved again and fell on the limbs of the opponent's specially modified combat suit.
There!
Surprisingly, the normal human limbs made of flesh and blood have disappeared, replaced by cold mechanical steel prosthetic limbs!
Cruze couldn't see the feet, but he could see the position of the hands clearly. Should we say that the ZAFT army's PLANTs have superb skills?
Nigel no longer needs to use his palms and fingers to control the Gundam. His two metal arms are directly inserted into the modified control panel.
I guess the same is true for the feet, right?
What is the integration of man and machine? This is the integration of man and machine!
"Captain?" Nigel shouted again. Seeing that Cruze was reluctant to give him orders, he wanted to prove that he was still a useful person.
In order to prevent others from treating him differently, the boy who was gentle before and is still gentle now urged for the first time.
"Please give me orders, Captain Cruze!"
"Isaac, Diego, Nicol." Cruze adjusted his mood slightly. He was not a person who cared much about others.
Now he is just judging others by himself and seeing his own tragic fate in Nicholas.
Soon, at Nicholas' request, he slowly spoke out his orders.
"Destroy the Union Army's advance fleet, and then we will return the favor to the Archangel for taking care of us for so long."
Then he lowered his voice a little and showed his tenderness to Nigel alone.
"Nigel, I used to have a semi-full-coverage helmet. I should have given it to you a long time ago, but it's not too late now. After the battle, remember to come and get it from me."
"Thank you." Listening to and looking at the words and face of his captain in the separate channel.
Nigel had a really ferocious look on his face, and although he was no longer willing to smile, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
Through the prosthetic limbs linked to the MS, Nigel controlled the Thunder Gundam and increased its speed dramatically.
After instantly surpassing Cruze's Xigu Shenyi, he activated the Mirage System and disappeared into the darkness of the universe.
For Captain Cruze, and to prevent my fellow countrymen from suffering the same fate as mine, I will definitely win this battle!
In his eyes that were so calm that they could be described as dead silent, Nigel's pupils reflected the front, not far away, of the intercepting force from the advance fleet of the Allied Forces!
"Is he so strong?" At the moment when the two armies clashed, Isaac, who was in the duel, blinked and whispered in disbelief.
He was not talking about the strong combat effectiveness of the Allied Forces' advance troops, he was talking about his teammate Nigel.
While in the military academy, Nigel's performance was certainly better than others, and he was also ranked among the top 20 outstanding graduates of the academy.
But Isaac dared to pat his chest and guarantee that he must be better than Nigel, but now he saw his old classmate appearing alone in the Mobius fleet of the United Army.
To be honest, Isaac was not confident that he could suppress the opponent now.
Nigel, who had just returned from the self-destruction hell of Artemis Fortress, fully utilized the performance of Thunderbolt Gundam Mirage.
Using the BUG-level ability of invisibility, it plunged headfirst into the joint military aircraft group. The Thunderbolt Gundam was like the god of death under the dark curtain!
After suddenly appearing and harvesting the surrounding Mobius, it disappeared silently.
The Allied Forces were so furious that they were helpless and crazy, but they had no way to deal with the Thunderbolt Gundam.
Even the pilots in Mobius huddled together for warmth in order to save their lives, staring wide-eyed and searching the nearby space inch by inch.
But in Nicholas' eyes, all these measures were like waving a sword in front of Guan Gong, which was nothing but a laughing stock!
Nigel always finds the enemy's weak points, launching unstoppable attacks and taking away wave after wave of enemies.
Since the war began, while he and his team, including the captain, had not yet achieved any results, Nigel alone had already killed one-tenth of the enemy Mobius's heads!
"Izak, what are you doing?" Right next to the Duel Gundam, Diego became unusually serious.
After slightly marveling at Nigel's achievements, Storm Gundam combined the weapons in its hands.
A torrent of hot and thick energy rushed towards the coalition forces' fleet, and after one strike, it created two or three dazzling light balls in the universe.
"I know!" Isaac gnashed his teeth as if waking up from a dream. "I can't lose to Nigel!"
With this thought in mind, the Duel Gundam raised its beam rifle and rushed into the Mobius fleet of the United Army like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, wreaking havoc.
Thanks to the performance of these Gundams, the Jinn troops, which were not as fast, watched the cannon fodder of the Allied Forces on the verge of collapse.
They simply turned their guns around, made a circle and flew towards the main force of the enemy's Allied Forces warships.
