Gundam UC Hunting Time

"Don't make fun of me, I need your advice."

"Well, my suggestion is... first we should find out what the girl herself thinks, right? We can't just assume it's her wishful thinking."

Char offered advice from a friend's perspective, encouraging Karma.

"and then?"

"Then start by getting to know each other, let her understand what kind of person you are."

Xia stroked his chin thoughtfully. He never bothered with such things, so he didn't actually have much experience.

"That makes sense! As expected of you, Char!"

Kalmar perked up, grabbed two glasses of champagne, and prepared to head over, but just then, his adjutant suddenly pushed open the door to report, interrupting his progress.

"Report! The reconnaissance aircraft reports that the target has left the base and begun to move!"

"What!? The destination?"

Karma immediately put the matter of finding the girl out of her mind and asked seriously.

"Based on the route of advance, it is speculated that this may be an advanced base of our army!"

"Again? How arrogant!"

Karma was furious, and Char, who was standing next to her, "couldn't help" sigh.

"There's nothing we can do. They've just won a victory, and their morale is high right now."

"Then they'll soon pay the price for their arrogance!" Karma clenched his fist confidently, then gave the order: "The fleet, prepare to deploy immediately! Notify the air force to prepare as well. This time, we will definitely avenge Dozru and the many Zeon soldiers he killed!"

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant saluted, accepted the order, and left.

Looking at the spirited Karma, Char took the initiative to speak.

"I'll join in too!"

“Char?” Karma looked at him in surprise.

"This is our mission, there's no reason for us to desert our posts."

"You're right, Char. With you here, I have even more confidence."

“Me too. Then you just wait here for my good news.” Xia Ya laughed, and before leaving, he gestured with his chin toward the mayor of New York City’s daughter, saying like a true buddy, “I’ll be looking forward to your good news too.”

Then, Karma, having been aroused, refused as he had hoped.

"No! I want to go too!"

“Kalma?” Char feigned surprise.

"As a commander, you must be on the front lines—that's what you said, right? I can't fall behind."

Karma, hands on his hips, spoke with great confidence. Xia looked at him and smiled as if relieved.

"That's true. Then let me see your skills."

Let's get started! Support is needed!

Chapter 142 Openly Attempting to Take the Initiative

Aboard the Gauz-class aircraft carrier, the alarm bells signaling sortie preparation rang throughout the cabins.

"Do we still need to drive a Zaku on the ground?"

Seeing Char preparing to board his red Zaku, Garma, dressed in his pilot suit, couldn't help but ask.

"If needed, I can arrange a Guff for you."

“No need. The performance of the mass-produced Gouf is not much different from that of the Zaku, is it?” Char turned around and smiled. “This is a life-or-death battle. Compared to that slight performance improvement, we are more confident in piloting the machine we are used to.”

“That makes sense.” Karma stopped insisting and instead complained, “It’s a pity that the newly produced Great Demons have problems and are all undergoing adjustments on the moon, otherwise we would have a machine that can rival the Federation’s new machines.”

"Heh, are you going to attack too?" Xia looked at Karma's Zabi family's special pilot suit. Its unique color and style highlighted his special status, and its performance must be top-notch. Even if he was grazed by a bullet or two, he would be unharmed.

"Don't underestimate me, Char. I'm not the same person I used to be." Karma stared sharply at Char, her face full of defiant spirit.

He knew that his title of first in the military academy was the result of Xia Ya deliberately letting him have it. Although the two were good friends, he always harbored a competitive spirit.

"Reconnaissance aircraft call! Enemy target has passed point B! All aircraft, prepare for attack! Repeat—"

The broadcast blared throughout the cabin. The Gau-class aircraft opened its tail hatch, and a gust of wind rushed into the cabin. The Zaku, having completed its sortie preparations, strode towards the hatch, leaped out, and landed on the ground.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry." After a few seconds of silence, Xia's desire for revenge wavered slightly, and he unusually "had a change of heart" and advised, "For a commander of your rank, it would be more prudent to prioritize staying on the Gau-class to coordinate operations—"

"Hmph, no matter what, I am a man of the Zabi family, and I must be a model Zeon soldier!"

Karma scoffed, interrupting Char, and strode confidently toward his aircraft—a Dopp with brown wings and a gold tail. Little did he know that it was these words that completely extinguished the last vestige of pity in Char's eyes.

“The men of the Zabi family…” he chuckled contemptuously.

Karma met his end in a good way—he actually competed for credit with his subordinates, completely lacking the magnanimity of a commander; he was indeed just a spoiled brat.

"Then may the glory of victory belong to you!"

Finally, Char gave Garma a standard, almost austere, military salute, a salute filled with the meaning of farewell, before turning and climbing into the cockpit of the red Zaku without looking back.

Soon, one after another, Zaku aircraft leaped from the cockpits of three Gau-class destroyers and landed on the ground. Immediately afterward, Kalma's brown-winged, gold-tailed Dop also roared out from the front launch port of the Gau-class destroyer.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the faint rumble of thunder could be heard rolling deep within the clouds.

"The enemy is just below the clouds. All aircraft, don't lose them!"

Karma gripped the control stick, preparing to dive, when suddenly the communications soldier's alarmed cry rang out in his headset:

"Commander Kalma! Multiple aerial targets detected approaching! They are Federation Air Forces! Bearing ***, distance **!"

"What!?"

Karma was startled and turned to look. Sure enough, she saw two black dots rapidly approaching in the distance. They were none other than a large group of Federal fighter jets!

It was precisely because our side had dispersed a large number of Minovsky particles that the enemy aircraft were not detected until this point.

"Looks like they were drawn here by our activity. No problem. Green Squadron, Yellow Squadron, take them down along with the Gau-class! Squadron A, come with me to attack the Federation's new mobile suits!"

"Lord Karma! Leave the attack to us, please return to the Gau-class immediately!"

His subordinates drove Dop to approach and try to persuade her, but Karma had already made up her mind.

"No need for further explanation, execute the order!"

Having said that, he pushed the control stick and swooped down towards the clouds. His subordinates had no choice but to obey, and the Doppler aircraft in the sky immediately dispersed to engage the enemy, while the three Ga'U-class carriers also launched a counterattack.

At the same time, on the other side, Lin Xingyuan's troops were also ready for battle.

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant, I'm asking you to do something so dangerous. Please be careful."

Holding Lilith's hand, Lin Xingyuan sincerely entrusted her with the task: In the upcoming battle, the identity of Black Reaper will be temporarily taken over by Lilith Aiden. Undoubtedly, she will become the enemy's primary target, bearing immense pressure, and could be sacrificed at any moment.

"I won't let you down!"

Lilith held Lin Xingyuan in pure admiration, and felt incredibly honored to be able to temporarily take his place on the mission. As for danger, she had long since disregarded it from the moment she threw herself into the war.

"Okay." Lin Xingyuan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Shirley Page: "When I'm not around, you'll be in charge."

"Don't worry, Captain, we guarantee the mission will be completed!"

The Russian girl saluted respectfully and made a solemn promise, displaying the same spirit she had shown when she won the Olympic gold medal.

“I believe you.” Lin Xingyuan smiled and patted her shoulder, then turned to Doris Brandt.

"I'm counting on you for support, Sergeant."

"Please be quick. If you can't do it, give up early. I can't hold on for too long."

Doris was still as unreliable as ever, not behaving like a soldier even in this kind of situation, but Lin Xingyuan knew how capable this diver was and was very confident in her abilities.

"no problem!"

"Captain, reconnaissance planes, please! The Gau-class destroyers are approaching base airspace! The air force has launched its attack!"

Anita's voice came through the headset; she was in charge of on-site communications coordination during this operation.

"I understand, we'll set off immediately from here."

Please come back safely! I will pray for you.

"Received, thank you."

After replying to Anita, Lin Xingyuan looked back at the three combatants in the team. Seeing their different expressions, but all of them showing concern for him, he adopted a heroic and magnanimous posture.

"This battle is the closest you will ever get to the heroes you admire. Afterwards, you will all gain unparalleled glory and fame! Fight well! That's it! Move out!"

He didn't spout any sentimental platitudes like "everyone must come back alive," because this was war, a close-quarters struggle where only the single-minded and fearless could prevail. He then boarded his own plane and transferred to the accompanying "Der Dai II."

"Have you said goodbye to the beauties?"

Lieutenant Sleika, the test pilot of the "Dede II," sent a communication, his face full of a mocking grin on the screen.

"Yes, Lieutenant, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Leave it to me. I'll stake my reputation and skills on getting you promoted!"

Shreka made a muscle-flexing gesture and said confidently, which reassured Lin Xingyuan.

"But are you sure Karma will definitely come?"

"Yes."

"why?"

"Because he is a young master."

Lin Xingyuan laughed.

Soon, the "Derdai II," carrying the black Ground Combat Gundam, disappeared into the dark clouds. Sherry Page turned to look at Lilith and Doris with a serious expression.

"Let's begin! Listen up, anyone who holds the captain back will not be forgiven!"

"You don't need to tell me!"

Lilith clenched her fists, as if carrying some kind of mission, and resolutely turned and ran towards the landline.

"Go for it, Miss Champion!"

Doris winked at Shirley Page, then turned and boarded the machine.

Moments later, the transport plane approached the Zeon base, and three black-painted mobile suits were dropped in succession, almost setting the entire base ablaze while still in the air. When the nine Zeon mobile suits, including Char's, passed through the dark clouds, they saw only devastation and ruins. The troops stationed at the base were almost completely wiped out, making it impossible to support them in their operations as planned.

"Damn the Federation Army!"

"How dare they be so arrogant?"

Enraged by the sight, the two MS squads under Karma's command immediately disembarked their parachutes and landed at the base, engaging three black Federation MS in combat. Char's red Zaku, positioned at slightly higher ground, did not immediately join the attack.

"Only three machines? One's missing!?"

He counted the black mobile suits on the battlefield, his heart filled with surprise and doubt. But when he saw that the familiar horned mobile suit was so aggressive that it almost destroyed a Zaku with a single swing, displaying the aura that the Black Reaper should have, and he also sensed something in his mind, he breathed a sigh of relief.

That guy is indeed here, but—

What is he going to do?

Does this mean they're going to kill everyone?
