Kati's orders were issued, and the UINON aircraft carrier fleet, along with the Overflag troops, were growing impatient.
"Lieutenant, we've really been kept waiting."
"Fifteen hours of waiting, this time we will definitely defeat the Gundam."
"Tch, making us wait this long, are they underestimating us? The AUE commander is an idiot." Unlike Howard Mason and Daryl Dodge's excitement, the newly assigned Joshua wore a face of dissatisfaction. He had looked down on Graham from the start, considering him arrogant. In his view, defeating the Gundam was no trouble at all; he could do it alone. Graham, who had merely a reputation and had even mistakenly killed his own superior, was not worthy of even carrying his shoes.
"Don't be careless. The overall commander this time is Colonel Kati Mannequin of the AEU. You should have heard of her reputation. If you have any complaints, you can report them directly to her." Graham said.
"Tch, just watch me perform well. With this Overflag, you won't even need to step onto the battlefield!" With that, Joshua's Overflag rushed ahead, making a beeline for the Gundam's location.
"Joshua! Damn it, all units, emergency sortie, follow Joshua!" Graham knew that Joshua had always been unhappy with him and did not recognize his authority as Captain, but he was a soldier first and foremost. The relationship with his team could be gradually improved, but if personal actions led to a failure in combat, that would be a problem.
Was the Gundam really that easy to deal with? He, Professor Eifman, and Billy Katagiri knew the specific data of the Gundam through VEDA and understood how terrifying it was. Even the most advanced Overflag without a GN Drive would be utterly defeated.
Even the technical department, which was unaware of everything, concluded that the Overflag and the Overflag were at least one level lower.
"Lieutenant! Joshua, he…" Howard Mason and Daryl Dodge respected Graham and couldn't stand Joshua's arrogance, so they wanted to advise Graham to ignore him and let him go to his death.
But Graham immediately interrupted them: "Joshua is also one of us, a flag fighter. We can't just watch him go to his death!"
"Understood!"
This time, the response to Graham was not just from Howard Mason and Daryl Dodge, but from the entire Overflag unit. They were all elites from various divisions. Although they weren't as flamboyant as Joshua, they certainly had their grievances, which is why they had been observing from the sidelines.
But at this moment, the Captain, who could set aside personal grudges and care for his teammates, gained their initial recognition.
...
In the desert, at the base of the Dingwu unit.
"Colonel, is it an order to mobilize?" Soma Peries rushed to Sergei upon hearing the emergency mobilization order.
"Yes, it's our turn to go out, Lieutenant Peries. This time…"
"This time I will definitely complete the mission, because that is the value of my existence here." Soma Peries interrupted Sergei, not giving him a chance to respond, and turned to run towards her machine.
The last time they failed the Gundam capture operation, the Superhuman Institute was destroyed, and all her comrades died. She worked hard to prove her value, which was also to show the higher-ups the worth of the Super Soldier, so her comrades wouldn't be secretly executed for being deemed worthless.
But now, everything had been destroyed by Celestial Being, and it was at the hands of the only other surviving Super Soldier.
Watching Soma Peries' impulsive and resentful figure, Sergei instinctively wanted to call her back, but after thinking it over, he withdrew his hand.
What could he say if he called her back? That he was also part of Celestial Being? That the Superhuman Institute should have been destroyed? Or what?
Sergei was also troubled. With the destruction of the Superhuman Institute, Soma Peries was essentially homeless. He thought about finding a sister for Andrei, but now… he was really looking forward to what expression Soma Peries would have after learning the truth at the end of the first phase of the plan.
"Forget it, I'll deal with it later." Sergei exhaled a breath of frustration, temporarily setting aside his anxieties. For now, executing the mission was the priority.
...
The fire suppression stopped, and Neil decisively commanded the entire unit to retreat.
"Withdraw separately…"
"No way!" Neil immediately interrupted Tieria's suggestion. "Myer said we must not separate. The enemy's elite troops have been deployed; splitting up will only lead to us being picked off one by one."
"But this goes against VEDA's plan…"
"Listen to me! Even if VEDA knows our situation, they can't notify us in real-time."
"...Understood."
"Enemy attack!"
The five Gundams had barely sped forward when the radar detected enemies approaching from three directions.
"The AEU direction is the weakest; we…"
"Break through towards the UN direction!"
"Lockon!" Tieria couldn't help but shout. Was this a personal attack? The AEU had no new type MS, so it was the weakest; wasn't that the best direction to break through?
"Idiot, do you think the enemy commander is a fool? Can't you see such an obvious flaw? They must have a backup plan; it could very well be a trap waiting for us to fall into!"
"Then the UN…"
"Although the UN also has new type MS, they came in too late and in small numbers. Or do you want to charge into the Human Reform League's MS squad?"
"...Understood." Tieria gave up. He couldn't find an excuse to refute, and while he wanted revenge on the Human Reform League's MS squad, it was clear that now was not the time.
"Ugh~ ah~!"
"What's wrong? Allelujah!" A scream from Allelujah came through the communication. The leading Gundam Kyrios even fell directly to the ground, causing the four others to jump in shock.
"They're here… the Super Soldiers are here…" Allelujah said painfully, enduring the stinging pain.
"Super Soldiers? Could it be…"
Sure enough, the Human Reform League's troops charged ahead, already appearing on the screen. Leading them were Sergei's Beiwei and Soma Peries' Into the Array special type. At the same time, the Overflag troops appeared in front, forming a pincer attack.
"Too fast!" The expressions of everyone turned grim. The Dingwu unit was moving in the opposite direction of the Overflag unit, intending to break through the encirclement directly with their performance advantage. Who would have thought the Dingwu unit had already caught up?
"Break through! Tactical formation S90, Allelujah, switch to Hallelujah!"
"But… ah!"
"Faster!"
"Understood…"
"Ha, finally willing to let me out, huh? Allelujah!" The switched personality Hallelujah licked his lips, looking at the MS approaching from both directions. "What a worthy kill, especially that woman…"
"Stop! Hallelujah! Let's break through together; this isn't the time for nonsense!" Seeing Gundam Kyrios about to get up and charge at the Dingwu unit, the Dylandy Brothers skillfully held Gundam Kyrios down.
"Don't stop me, I'm…"
"I'm the commander, designated by Myer!"
"…" The arrogant Hallelujah backed down. Even if he made a mistake, it was Allelujah who would suffer; what did it have to do with him, Hallelujah?
But… who knew that Yang Hui was also a user of Brain Quantum Waves and could now directly force Hallelujah out of his body? So he feared no one, except Yang Hui.
"Tch, I got it. I will follow orders."
