Hunter starting from Hunter World

Ten minutes later, when all the warships, MA and MS captured by the earth's gravity and falling into the atmosphere disappeared from sight and radar range, the outer space orbit finally became quiet.

Although the ZAFT army lost almost 60% of the Zeon that had been replenished not long ago in this battle, and there was also a battleship that disintegrated during the atmospheric fall, the results achieved were quite impressive.

First, the Earth Alliance's Eighth Fleet, stationed in Earth orbit and echoing the moon base, was almost completely wiped out.

Except for the Archangel, none of them could land safely on the ground. Almost all of them would die during the descent.

Even if some battleships managed to land with the help of computer-set programs, the people inside would not be able to withstand the terrifying high temperatures caused by the friction between the ship's hull and the atmosphere.

This also means that from now on, as long as they avoid the most difficult nut to crack, the lunar base, the ZAFT army can mobilize its forces from behind to launch siege on the most important military bases on the ground.

Secondly, Sakura, known as the Red Queen, once again showed almost unrivaled strength in combat during the battle.

If it hadn't been for the last second, Allen drove the upgraded new machine out to disrupt the situation, it is estimated that even the Archangel and the attack would have to be accounted for here.

The last and most important thing.

Law Lu Cruze finally succeeded in breaking the deadlock that had been deliberately maintained by the top leaders of both sides, allowing the war to develop in an unpredictable and unavoidable direction.

As for the Earth Alliance, they will definitely not sit back and watch the destruction of the Eighth Fleet and the loss of their space defense capabilities. They will definitely find ways to get back.

Similarly, the adjuster hawks who gradually take control of the p.l.a.n.t Supreme Council will not miss the opportunity for no reason, but will promote the launch of a new round of attacks, thereby forcing the natural people on the earth to return to the negotiating table honestly. Sign a peace agreement that works in your favor.

In other words, this battle is equivalent to completely destroying the current speaker, Siegel Klein's repeated efforts to promote peace negotiations.

When he thought that Patrick Sala, who was full of hatred in his heart, would soon come to power, Rau Lu Cruze couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

As for the losses suffered by the ZAFT army, or the medals that the P.L.A.N.T. Supreme Council might award him, he didn't care at all.

Because from the beginning to the end, he has only one goal, and that is to destroy this disgusting, disgusting and dirty world.

Captain! We just received a call from the ground. Yitzhak and Aslan are both safe and sound, and their machines have been taken into custody by our army. The signal soldier reported loudly.

After hearing the news, Law Lu Cruze immediately nodded with satisfaction: Very good! It seems we are lucky. By the way, what were the losses on the Eighth Fleet? Did they all die on the way to the landing?

Ninety percent of the warships of the Eighth Fleet were scrapped during the process of breaking through the atmosphere. Only a handful of lucky ones successfully landed at the nearby Earth Alliance base. However, our investigators found that the basic battleships lifted out of the cockpit and command room They are all corpses. Obviously, those stupid and inferior natural people cannot withstand the high temperature and pressure generated during the emergency landing.

When he said these words, the voice of this young adjuster in his early twenties was full of unabashed pride and superiority.

You don’t need to ask to know that this kind of arrogance is one of the reasons why adjusters are disliked and rejected by the people of most countries on the planet.

Where is the Commander of the Eighth Fleet - Duane Halboton? Rau Lu Cruze continued to ask.

He and his flagship disintegrated during the exchange of fire with our warships. If nothing else, he should have died in the battle. The signal soldier gave the answer without thinking.

After all, the reason why those battleships and mobile suits captured by the earth's gravity risked their lives to rush forward was to kill the Archangel or the flagship of the Eighth Fleet.

Therefore, when the first goal cannot be completed, firepower will definitely be concentrated on the second goal.

In addition, the flagship of the Eighth Fleet is an old model of warship. Its power source and maneuverability are much worse than that of the Archangel, and it does not have the protection of PS armor. It is not worth making a fuss about being killed.

This is good news! Immediately inform the Council about the annihilation of the Eighth Fleet by our troops. I think Senator Patrick Sala will know what to do next. Said, Rau Lu Cruze He turned around and returned to his seat, looking out the window at the beautiful dark blue planet in the distance with a cruel smile.

Sakura undoubtedly felt the desire for revenge boiling in this guy's mind, and tried in an uncertain tone: Captain! Are we going to break through the atmosphere and airborne?

Law Lu Cruze nodded without thinking: Yeah! Of course! Our mission is to destroy the Archangel and prevent the Earth Alliance from obtaining the corresponding data and information. But don't worry, before descending, we have to First find out where the ship escaped to.

Understood! If there's nothing else, I'll go down and rest first.

Sakura put on a cold face and turned around to return to her room.

But before she could take a few steps out, Diego couldn't help shouting: Hey, hey, hey! You are too cold! You must know that Aslan and Yitzhak are our teammates. Being trapped on the ground, don’t you care a little bit?”

Care? What is there to be concerned about? They were only slightly injured, not killed in battle. What's more, from the moment we join the army, all of us should be prepared to kill and be killed at the same time. Remember Remember, war is not the heroic game you imagine in your mind. If we lose, the adjusters will inevitably suffer a massacre more tragic than a blood-stained Valentine's Day.

After snarling harshly, Sakura ignored the shocked and annoyed Diego, turned around and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Nicol stood up quickly at this time, wanting to say something to lighten the atmosphere, but Diego didn't appreciate it, pushed him away, and returned to the room angrily.

As for coming to your door to cause trouble...

Sorry, he didn't want to be abused unilaterally, and he also didn't want others to see him being a man being pushed to the ground and beaten violently by a woman.

…

On the other side, the Archangel, which had just completed its emergency landing, was docked alone in the endless desert.

This is the northern part of Africa on Earth, a place that has been repeatedly contested, colonized, and controlled by European powers in modern history.

Even in the world of Gundam Seed, it could not escape the fate of being occupied by invaders.

The troops of Andrew Butterfield, a famous ZAFT general known as the Desert Tiger, are stationed nearby.

As the initiator and important commander of the North African Campaign, he once successfully defeated the Earth Alliance forces here and had to acquiesce that the ZAFT Army would regard this place as their sphere of influence.

Except for a handful of local resistance organizations and guerrillas, the Earth Alliance has basically given up here.

At this moment, Andrew Butterfield was holding a steaming cup of coffee in one hand, standing on the cold sand dunes at night and looking into the distance.

An observer was lying on the ground, holding up his night vision goggles, staring at the white battleship not far away.

After about two or three minutes, he asked casually: How is it? What's the status of the legendary Archangel?

Report! There is still no movement from the enemy ship! The observer quickly turned around to report.

The soldiers on the side carrying instruments to monitor communications also reported: The enemy ship did not send any external communications! It seems that they haven't figured out where this place is yet.

Oh? Is it affected by the neutron disruptor on the earth? Andrew Butterfield murmured to himself while taking a sip of his favorite coffee drink.

moment!

His expression changed slightly.

This change made everyone else around them extremely nervous, thinking that the Archangel was making some moves.

The observer immediately fell down, raised the night vision device in his hand and asked in panic: What happened...?

No, it's nothing. This time the mocha has been reduced by about five percent, and I like the taste.

Having said that, Andrew Butterfield turned around and walked down the sand dune without a confused reaction.

Following the direction he was heading, he could vaguely see several ZAFT Army-specific ground-based MSs - TMF/A-802 Baku, as well as a small number of tanks and supply vehicles.

Although the appearance looks a bit nondescript, the actual combat effect is quite amazing.

Regarding this, the Earth Alliance, which lost control of North Africa, understands this best.

Especially in the desert area, the top leaders of the Earth Alliance would rather fight Jean than fight these Baku.

You don't need to ask to know that since getting the Archangel's descent trajectory data from Rau Lu Cruze, the Desert Tiger has been following suit.

It's just that he doesn't have as many red elites as Cruze, and he doesn't dare to attack rashly. Instead, he quietly ambush here to figure out the situation.

Because the insidious Law Lu Cruze did not share combat information, he was completely blind to the characteristics, characteristics, and weapons of Strike and Allen's pilots.

Among them, Allen's amazing record made Andrew Butterfield dare not immediately launch a tentative attack like the original plot.

After all, he knew very well the fighting power of Sakura, the Red Queen.

No one in the ZAFT army dares to take it lightly against an enemy who can fight Sakura to a draw or even have a slight upper hand.

Your Excellency! Don't we launch a surprise attack during the night? the adjutant asked cautiously.

No, there's no rush. Calculating the time, it's been a while since the Kruse team launched the attack to the Archangel's emergency landing. If nothing else, those pilots should be almost exhausted. Wait for another two While they were sleeping to death, we launched a surprise attack.

After Andrew Butterfield thought for a while, he quickly gave a battle plan.

In two hours it will be dawn, the darkest hour of the day.

By then, the sun has not yet risen, and the entire desert will be shrouded in darkness.

What's more, it's also the coldest time of day.

Ultra-low temperatures will have a huge impact on various parameters of the MS, and errors will cause abnormalities in the aiming of the most powerful energy weapons.

In addition, the direction of your attack is the direction of sunrise. When the sun rises, some of the enemy's detection equipment will be instantly blind.

From the terrain and environment to the enemy's psychology, Andrew Butterfield has thought of it all.

He felt that if the Archangel could still severely damage the several Baku units he brought with him, then this battle would not need to be fought.

Huh? Is it necessary to be so cautious? an MS driver asked in confusion.

Although they did not wear the red uniforms that symbolized the elite, they fought many victorious battles with the Desert Tiger and had already developed strong self-esteem and pride. They did not take the Earth Alliance pilots seriously at all.

Andrew Butterfield casually threw the empty coffee cup to the adjutant and explained with a smile: Don't be careless! The enemy this time is no different than before. That would cause Rau Lu Cruze to suffer heavy losses, and several pursuits failed. A powerful enemy that declared defeat. Especially the pilot. It is said that both of them are powerful adjusters, and the only natural person is Mu La Vlada.

Mu La Vlada? This name sounds a bit familiar. Another driver touched his chin and fell into thought.

That guy is the trump card of the Earth Alliance's propaganda - the Endymion Eagle! He once piloted the Mebius Zero in the Endymion Crater on the moon to shoot down five of our army's Zeon. Another driver The member spoke about Mu's glorious record.

Wutai Jean? Sounds like he's very powerful! If I can kill him, will I be allowed to wear the red uniform that symbolizes the elite immediately?

Hahahaha! Stop daydreaming! If Endymion's Eagle was so easy to shoot down, those guys on Team Cruze would have done it long ago.

Tch! Just because they can't do it doesn't mean we can't do it.

I think I can give it a try!

…

Suddenly, many mobile phone pilots from the ZAFT Army present were very interested in shooting down the Eagle of Endymion.

Seeing this scene, Andrew Butterfield couldn't help but smile and shake his head, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: The Endymion Eagle is not the biggest threat on the Archangel. The other two machines And their pilots are.”

It's a pity that he can't say it now to dampen the high morale of his men.

In this way, everyone in the ZAFT army lurked silently behind the huge hills, enduring the coldness of the desert night while patiently waiting for the time to attack.

In contrast, the Archangel seemed to have fallen into complete silence, just parked in the middle of a pile of sand dunes.

However, this is not because Captain Maliu does not want to get in touch with other military bases, but because he is affected by the neutron jammer and cannot communicate at all.

After several attempts, she decisively decided to give up direct contact and planned to wait until dawn before sending someone out to inquire about the situation.

In order to ensure safety, Ma Liu did not even allow Mu to sleep, but stayed in the hangar and was ready to attack at any time.

As for Dinisha and Allen, who broke through the atmosphere alone, they are currently lying in the infirmary pretending to be sick.

One of their body temperatures reached an astonishing thirty-nine degrees, and the other reached thirty-eight and a half degrees.
