Gundam, Gravity Elegy

As the thick clouds were torn apart, the enormous figure with a wingspan of 250 meters appeared directly below.

"what?!"

There were no fancy actions or movements, and there was no need for any maneuvering at all; the straight 'iron plate' simply crashed into them.

"There wasn't time to set up a gun..."

"Then just avoid it."

Kuvatro pulled the control stick, fully extending the flight pedals and carrying the Gundam to avoid the collision.

"Enemy aircraft, MS confirmed. Flight pedal confirmed to be a modified version of our army's German-made bomber. MS model unknown."

At the same time, Gundam's dark figure was fully exposed inside the bridge of the Bison.

In the incredibly clear image, Yuri Keller felt as if the crimson viewfinder was staring directly at her like a pair of eyes:

"So this is the Federation Army's new weapon..."

At that moment, Yuri Keller felt that familiar throbbing pain, as if her heart was being pierced by needles:

"Unleash a barrage of bullets and shoot it down!"

Amidst the sweeping live ammunition fire, the barrage of machine gun fire forced the Gundam and its flight platform to dodge and weave.

"No, the fighter jets are getting faster and faster; at this rate, we won't be able to lock on at all..."

Gao Ren casually destroyed an incoming Dopp fighter jet with his Vulcan cannon, then glanced at the aircraft carrier, which was now on par with them:

"emission!"

Faintly, Gao Ren felt he heard some sound, and the next moment, the air-to-air particle cannons on both sides of the wings attacked directly.

"Get out of the way!"

The blazing torrent rushed past, almost completely filling the view generated in the cockpit.

And after the light fades, what appears before our eyes is an abstractly designed fighter jet.

It's lush green, relying solely on its control nozzles to alter its maneuverability, with absolutely no superfluous movements, just like...

"fly."

Pulling the trigger on the control stick, the Vulcan cannon dutifully tore the green mechanical fly to shreds, ultimately turning it into another burst of sparks in the sky.

"Tsk, so what about the Federation's air formations?"

"I don't know, maybe we went the wrong way."

The incoherent words continued to echo in the communication channel, but instead of relieving stress, they made people laugh in exasperation.

"If this continues, you'll be the first to be shot down, not me. At least the Luna Titanium Alloy can withstand a couple of hits."

However, despite these complaints, we still have to think of some solutions.

A way to deal with the surrounding fighter jets and the carrier's own firepower simultaneously in this barrage environment.

"Boom!"

The air-to-ground particle cannon swept past, and the way to avoid it was extremely dangerous.

So, should we try to jump up there?

The sudden sound echoed clearly in the communication channel, and Gao Ren's heart sank:

"If we jump directly onto the bridge of the opposite ship, both the carrier's own firepower and the fighter jets will be concerned about the difficulty of attacking the bridge... But is it even possible?"

"Of course I have no problem with that. I'll just run away after I send you there."

Laughter came through the communication channel, but after dodging the close-range missile once again, the sound suddenly turned low:

"So, can you find the right opportunity to jump up?"

"can."

"Then let's go!"

'Boom'

The lower front nozzle sprays air, causing the pedal to tilt upwards.

Then, the main exhaust nozzles at the rear opened fully, and the D.D. bomber carried the Gundam forward.

Almost instantly, it had already approached the intertwined barrage of bullets:

"Get too close and you'll be shot down!"

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about me. A proper adult wouldn't cause a child any concern!"

'Bang bang bang bang bang'

After struggling to break through the barrage of fighter jets, the missile launchers ahead unleashed a massive barrage of fire, sending the missiles flying straight toward the aircraft carrier.

Without any locking or particle environment influences, and without any induction, the straightforward launch was like a target!

But because of this...

"It will inevitably choose to defend."

'Bang bang bang bang'

The machine guns turned as expected, and the area directly in front of the bridge was instantly cleared.

This brief window of opportunity is the only chance!

"Jump."

The moment the sound faded, Kuvatro felt a heavy force pressing down on him from above.

The jet nozzles below forcefully lifted the Gundam, which then leaped onto the bow of the carrier by stepping on the pedals.

'boom'

He slammed the grappling hook shield attached to his arm into the bulky hull of the Bison, while the equally massive long-barreled rifle was mounted on the other side, aimed directly at one of the wings.

Then, his head was pressed against the glass of the bridge:

"buzz"

"A monster...a monster!!"

The hook-and-shovel shield can be used as a fixing device to secure the gau, a fact already documented in 08ms.

Chapter 72: Extreme Shooting

Monster—when that gasp echoed through the bridge, Yuri Keller felt no surprise.

Rather, he himself thought so too.

For the people of the Principality, if the Zaku's one-eyed design could still evoke a sense of comfort and warmth unique to living beings, then the gleaming, bloodthirsty mechanical texture in front of them exuded a chilling coldness.

It's like...

"Victory is assured?"

The moment the word left his mouth, Yuri couldn't help but burst out laughing:

"Federal pilot, your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations."

Facing the crimson main monitor, he stood up abruptly from his seat:

"At the same time, I must congratulate you—as a soldier."

"Lord Yuri..."

Under the secretary's astonished gaze, he even walked directly to the bridge window, facing those scarlet eyes directly.

“I am Yuri Kelleren, commander of the Earth’s First Land Division, commander-in-chief of Zeon’s European forces, and the person in charge of the first landing operation. I am also the commander who directly attacked your Federation’s Odessa mining base. For you, capturing me personally means that you may have made a great contribution.”

"Lord Yuri, it's very dangerous now..."

At that moment, Cynthia, regaining her senses, instinctively grabbed the commander's hand, but his bare, strong arms simply shielded her behind him.

Under the menacing 60mm Vulcan cannon, he instead revealed a fearless smile:

"But unfortunately, the outcome of this battle was already predetermined—before you arrived, we had already used the air superiority we had gained to launch a fierce attack on your underground air base, and at the same time, your main tank force located in the north of the plain was also completely destroyed."

Without needing to contact the circuit, that guy's voice was transmitted into the cockpit.

It was a loudspeaker system specifically designed for use in the internal environments of Earth and colonies, and that's why Gao Ren was certain that these words were directed at him.

As for why, he soon learned the reason.

'Buzz buzz buzz buzz'

As I focused my attention on my surroundings, I heard a clear sound that was even faster than my senses could perceive.

Following the direction of the sound, the sensors even issued a loud alarm:

"A pyrogenic reaction... Could it be?!"

'Splash'

The clouds rippled, and just slightly below and a kilometer away, a strangely shaped object, resembling a white garlic clove with four legs, hovered there in an unbelievable state.

The data that the shape was identified in the database was...

"tank?!"

'Boom'

At the same time, the cannon barrel directly below was gleaming with a light visible to the naked eye:

"The compressed light is... I see. So you're using a reflector to create an I-force field, and then performing the kinetic energy acceleration and convergence work externally?"

Without a doubt, that thing is the air-to-ground weapon that Zeon possessed and had already used in Vienna!

And now, what's the situation directly below?

"Below is your army."

"Tsk..."

What would you choose?

Of course, there is actually only one answer.

The reason he abandoned the best strategy and insisted on appearing at this specific time was decided from the very beginning!

"buzzing"

What was that sound?

Perhaps because they were so close together, the positive and negative particle compression process was exceptionally clear at this moment.

"Commander, there's a high-energy heat source reaction, right inside that black mobile suit..."

"Boom"

Before she could finish speaking, the heavy thud almost caused the entire machine to lose its balance, and even the secretary, Cynthia, had to hold on tightly to the armrest of the captain's seat to avoid falling.

"Lord Yuri..."

But when she first looked at her commander, what she saw was a mouth that was almost stretched to the extreme.

Yuri Keller's expression could only be described as exaggerated:

"I made the right bet."

"what?"

“Didn’t you notice, Cynthia? That guy in black went in alone. When he engaged our formation, he had no support whatsoever. Putting aside his arrogance and achievements, I think he was probably trying to protect his comrades.”

Yuri narrowed his eyes as he stared at the machine plummeting downwards, its thrusters fully engaged.

"Now, launch an attack on it."

"Particle cannon calibration!"

"No need to aim, just hinder him like you're bombing him, then make the Bison turn around!"
