Chapter 96 Can I still say a complete sentence?

In fact, he was able to become the adjutant of Cruze, the number one idol star in the ZAFT army.

How could the officer who stayed behind on the Vesalius be a man who had gained his fame in vain?

To be honest, his overall strength is well-known in the ZAFT military.

but!

The bad thing is that in its current form, it is really difficult for him to make the right judgment.

First, the sudden explosion of Artemis Fortress destroyed the entire fleet summoned by Captain Cruze.

Considering that there is no such thing as zero in probability, perhaps there are still survivors of our army in the remains of Artemis Fortress?

Or were there only a very small number of people who survived on those warships that were caught in the explosion?
Well, even if all the people over there are dead, but the Storm Gundam and King who are chasing the Archangel, are they all dead too?
From Adjutant Cruze's perspective, the most likely reason for the MS troops chasing the Archangel was because of the meteor shower.

They were dispersed from around the Archangel battleship.

After all, given the size of the MS and the quality of the Adjuster pilot's comments, the adjutant would never believe that all the soldiers were dead.

Besides, even if we take a million steps back, Diego and the others are dead.

Captain Cruze won't die, right?

He will still come back, right?

Then the problem is coming.

Our three warships are in very bad condition right now, having suffered a lot of direct attacks from meteorites from Artemis Fortress.

Even many of the ship's guns and missile bay hatches were damaged, and the firepower and combat effectiveness basically dropped below the baseline.

With such a crippled body, it went head-on into battle with the Archangel which seemed to be in no serious condition.

The adjutant silently calculated the chances of winning and pessimistically believed that the chances of winning were slim.

The Archangel had already displayed the world's most powerful single weapon, the city-breaking cannon, and they didn't even have many naval guns left.

What can we use to fight against the United Nations’ most advanced warships?
Would you use the top of your head to catch someone else's mace?
This is not a fight but a suicide!

In the other battles, all the MS were dispatched.
Is it possible to retreat?
The adjutant shook his head helplessly and thought it was also not feasible.

The reason is the same as above.

If he retreats, the enemy Archangel will surely pursue him. Can his three half-damaged warships outrun the enemy?
It can only survive for a while, but will eventually be sunk one by one by the enemy's naval guns that are following behind.

What's more, what about Captain Cruze and those possible survivors?
To retreat would be to watch them die howling in despair.

The lieutenant asked himself if he could bear the consequences with his small body.

Even in the best case scenario, if all three warships were withdrawn to the mainland, he would still endure endless humiliation and abuse and die in poverty.

"Mr. Adjutant, what should we do now?"

The adjutant was still struggling in his heart, making the difficult choice between running away or fighting stubbornly.

But the Archangel that came to attack would not give him so much time. He saw that the enemy ship's city-breaking cannon had already lit up the dazzling light before the bombardment.

The officers and soldiers on the bridge of the battleship Vesalius were urging their adjutant to make a decision quickly.

"Me?" Looking up at the Archangel, the adjutant made up his mind to express his inner choice.

However.
Fighting means death, not fighting also means death!
The chance of survival can only rely on those MS whose life or death is unknown!
Open your mouth and close it, close it and open it again.

Faced with the current choice of not being able to see the future on either end.

He really couldn't bear the consequences of either choice!
"Loangrinyang electronic city-breaking cannon, target the enemy's left battleship 1 and fire!"

Li Chengzhi didn't know about the dilemma faced by Adjutant Cruze, or even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

With his eyes fixed on the target warship, he issued a series of orders with full energy.

"Fire the Godfeldt high-energy beam main cannon!"

"Bariante 110cm linear railgun fire!"

"Fire 24 rounds from the large missile launch tubes at the rear of the ship!"

"Concentrate fire, concentrate fire, a blanket, super-saturated attack!"

It is better to cut off one finger than to injure ten fingers. Li Chengzhi, a top student who graduated from the East Asia Military Academy, remembered this point firmly.

Taking into full consideration the enemy's possible ability to fight back, he decisively chose an enemy ship that appeared to be in the worst condition.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the first battle would be the final one, he used all the weapons available on the Archangel in one go, aiming to kill the enemy with a saturation attack.

Race against time with enemy battleships and enemy MS that may have survived and are returning.

The most powerful single-unit city-breaking cannon attacked as the vanguard, and the violent and abundant energy along the way swept away all obstacles on the path.

In an instant, all traces of human beings disappeared wherever the city-breaking cannons passed, as if the universe had returned to its original state overnight.

You remember that at the beginning of the Second World War in the original world timeline, the ZAFT army's Minerva battleship used a city-breaking cannon to blast through the wreckage of the fallen Junius 7!

Following the attack of the city-breaking cannon was the conventional main weapon from the Archangel - the Godfeldt high-energy beam main cannon.

Its power is definitely smaller than that of a city-breaking cannon, but it also depends on who it is compared with. It is certainly not as powerful as a city-breaking cannon.

But its capabilities.
The only battleship known to be able to withstand this cannon was the Minerva during World War II.

The only ones that can completely withstand this cannon's attack are the large transformable MS or MA of the Allied Forces during World War II.

So at this time, the guy who was hit directly by the cannon and survived.
Perhaps it can only be the man who claims to make the impossible possible - Mr. Mu.la.Flada.

And he has to pilot the Strike Gundam.

Hiss! If that were the case, it turned out that Mu was looked down upon by Cruze, Wang Hu, and others.

He is actually quite awesome!
Finally, there is the Bariant 110cm linear railgun and the missiles launched from the stern of the Archangel.

Compared with the above two players, there is nothing worth introducing. Chunchun is just here to fill the spotlight. Maybe she could be mentioned under normal circumstances.

But there is really no need to explain now, because the battleship chosen by Li Chengzhi as the target.

It didn't wait for the Bariant 110cm linear railgun and missiles to reach it.

This unfortunate and unlucky battleship has become a piece of garbage in the universe, with smoke all over it.

The part of the bow that was directly hit by the city-breaking cannon was vaporized, and it looked like a huge penetrating damage when viewed from the front.

Then, before the battleship exploded, four thick beams of energy from the Archangel's main gun opened eight skylights on the battleship.

"Deputy adjutant? Tell me what we should do!"

The crew members on the bridge of the Vesalius battleship could no longer sit still as they watched with bloodshot eyes the battleship next to them turned into rubble.

The easy sinking of the battleship next to them just now seriously stimulated the fear of death in their hearts.

"return"

The helpless adjutant had to express his decision under the urging of the sergeants on the bridge.

"It ran away. The Snowstorm next to it ran away!"

Suddenly, a soldier on the bridge jumped up and down and cursed, "How could they run away? How could they run away?"

"Huh." Not to mention that the soldiers in the bridge were very excited, they didn't know it was because the Fengxue had escaped before them.

Or it is because he is likely to be the first choice of Archangel's attack next.

As for the adjutant himself, he felt greatly relieved.

After all, since there is a good example before us, if I follow it, my responsibility will be greatly reduced, right?

At least you don't have to carry the responsibility alone, right?
While trying not to let a smug smile appear on his face, he straightened his expression and showed an indignation at being forced to move ahead of his friendly forces.

The adjutant opened his mouth again. "Our ship is heading..."

Before he could finish his words, the adjutant's order was interrupted by another soldier.

"Reporting that we have found Captain Cruze's signal, we infer from the distance that he will return to our ship soon!"

"Attention, there is another heat source image behind Captain Cruze. According to the intelligence comparison, it is the enemy's ace MA Egsas!"

"Damn it." He whispered so quietly that no one could hear him. The adjutant's expression kept changing, but he had no choice but to open his mouth to speak again.

"Support."

"Alert! Alert! The enemy ship is about to launch another attack, targeting our ship!"

"Multiple heat source images detected, identified as the Storm Gundam. There are also several Kinns on their way back!"

"..." The adjutant was stunned. Would he be able to let me speak properly?

Why do emergencies always happen?
