Captain, your ship has exploded again.

"Maintain the density of the barrage, prevent enemy aircraft from getting close, order the three little strongmen and Mu to attack, and broadcast LOGOS's evidence of instigating war between Naturals and Coordinators across all channels." Zhang Xun gave the order to the communications controller.

He looked up at the cruiser above him, which was still attacking the Archangel and the Archangel with its high-energy beam cannons below, but the attacks were blocked by the light shield.

"Activate the positron cannons and attack the cruisers on both sides!" As the positron cannons of the two warships launched their attack, the shields of the cruisers on both sides fluctuated violently.

However, the cruisers on the side of the Purge Agreement did not sit idly by. Their reactive cannons quickly aimed at the two warships and fired, but the cannons were deflected diagonally upwards by the all-around light wave defense shields on the warships, which instead sank the two cruisers of the Purge Agreement.

"How is the defensive light shield?" Zhang Xun turned to look at Natal.

"The attack just now caused a slight shortage of energy supply to the shield. Both the generator and the deflector overheated and can only withstand a maximum of two reaction shots. If given enough time to cool down and recharge, it will not have a significant impact."

"Have Yurien speed up, lest we fail to rescue the people and instead get sunk." At this moment, the cruisers of the Purge Agreement also began to change their strategy, no longer firing salvoes, but instead firing their main guns at the Archangel and the Archangel one by one.

The Archangel was handled by an excellent helmsman, while the Dominion could only rely on data transmitted through the Purge Protocol to occasionally dive into the sea to avoid attacks.

As a large amount of evidence was broadcast on the battlefield, and with Yurin's appeal in communications, the Earth Forces' attacks on the Archangel and Archangel gradually decreased.

Seeing that the Earth forces had ceased their attack, Zhang Xun began to execute the next step of the plan.

"Order TX to operate the two Nibelungen units in the foundation and launch an immediate attack. The target is the Purge Agreement, which aims to reduce the number of warship shields and VF units. At the same time, inform the Archangel to prepare for evacuation. Order the three main characters and Mu to deploy defenses around the warship!"

That's right, two large-scale high-energy beam weapon launchers have been built in the Paradise Base, instead of the one in the original work.

These weapons, which achieve large-area attacks by refracting high-energy beams, are not difficult to manufacture; however, due to the blockade imposed by the purge agreement, it is impossible to build more.

After TX used its high computing power to adjust all the mirrors, the Nibelungen unleashed a large number of beams, most of which were fired at the cruiser, but some also hit Earth Force mobile suits and Purge Protocol fighters.

The Archangel, hiding beneath an enemy cruiser, witnessed an overwhelming beam attack erupting from the Paradise Base from its bridge.

Maru stared in astonishment at the numerous beams of light in the sky and asked, "What's going on?!"

"According to the information from Yurin, this is the Earth military's Nibelungen, a wide-range high-energy beam weapon," Mirialia responded.

With the onslaught of excessive beams, a large number of VFs and MSs fell to the ground, and the cruiser's shields were rapidly depleted.

Zhang Xun ordered, "Notify the Archangel to open fire at full speed, break through the retreat route, and send the coordinates of the retreat route to all Earth forces."

Natal, who was constantly monitoring the Earth Force's communications, said, "Zhang Xun, the Earth Force has 30 warships planning to cover our retreat."

"Take as many evacuees as possible. What is the situation at Paradise Base?"

"All the TXs exposed within the base have been eliminated, and the base personnel have been evacuated as required. However, some personnel remain at the base, intending to detonate the base to delay the purge agreement."

"It seems the fire protectors are everywhere. Recording their heroic deeds will be a tragic elegy written by humanity itself. The rest of the members, immediately carry out the evacuation order!"

"Understood! The entire team shall evacuate immediately according to plan! Firing all anti-beam missiles! Loangrin, ready! Fire!"

As the Purge Agreement warships along the retreat route sank one after another, the Purge Agreement's counterattacks were all withstood by the Archangel and the Archangel, and the two warships led the fleeing Earth forces in a retreat to the east.

Inside the Paradise Base, the interim commander gazed at the evacuation fleet that had broken through the encirclement, a sense of relief washing over him.

The Earth Alliance's hope was preserved, and the remaining problems were left for the Human Alliance to worry about.

At this moment, only two of the eight Lohengrins outside the base are still putting up a stubborn resistance. Of the 33 mass-produced Destroyer Gundams, only 3 are still struggling to hold on, excluding the 7 that were ordered to evacuate. The Nibelungen Gundams have all been destroyed.

Standing in the empty command room, the temporary commander activated the base's internal communications.

"Gentlemen, we have completed our mission! For the last hope, we will die with this base! Perhaps no one will remember us in the future, but it is thanks to countless warriors like us that humanity has been able to survive in the universe. Thank you for your hard work!"

The interim commander at the base ended internal communications, and the remaining resistance forces outside the base were completely wiped out.

"We will watch over you from the other side of the underworld! May you enjoy eternal peace!"

He resolutely activated the self-destruct button protection device at the base and pressed it decisively. As the core reactor of the Paradise Base overloaded, the detonation device inside the base was activated, and the earth-shattering explosion made the Paradise Base a thing of the past.

The retreating fleet spotted a dazzling light emanating from the direction of the Paradise Base behind them.

As the light dimmed, all the fleet members turned around and solemnly saluted in the direction of the base.

After the explosion, seawater rapidly flooded the area around the original base site, and almost none of the Purge Protocol cruisers surrounding the base survived; the shields of most of the warships were overloaded.

In this battle, the Purge Agreement lost 43 cruisers, a large number of VF fighters were destroyed, and the Earth military only managed to escape with 7 mass-produced Destroyer Gundams and some mobile suits. In addition, there were 91 ships of various types and 16 transport ships.

The Paradise Base has since become dust of history. Perhaps one day in the future, someone will come to pay their respects, to this Iceland that is less than half intact, and to admire the fearless courage that humanity showed in the face of evil alien forces.

Standing by the glass window behind the bridge, gazing at the fleeing fleet, the Archangel and the Dominion each had three steel cables dangling from their legs, making the slow-moving ships look like grasshoppers strung together.

"These rescued soldiers will become the sparks that ignite future resistance against the Purge Agreement. They will be integrated with the Coordinators to form the People's Army."

Natal walked over, handed her a glass of juice, and said in a deep voice, "I hope that after this battle, humanity can be united for a long time to come."

Zhang Xun put his arm around Natal and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, there will be more enhancement drugs later. The gap between Naturals and Coordinators will narrow. And given the current state of Naturals, a large number of humans who surpass Coordinators will soon emerge. Although we cannot guarantee that humans will never fight amongst themselves, maintaining peace for a hundred years should not be a problem."

After listening, Natal leaned on Zhang Xun's shoulder and watched the departing fleet under the sunset. Perhaps only external pressure could unite humanity.

Just then, a disguised robot approached from the side and reported: "Captain! We have reached the rendezvous position with the Minerva. The three pursuit cruisers dispatched by the Purge Agreement will arrive in 42 minutes."

Zhang Xun sighed. Even though the physical strength of the combat robots in Star Wars had been improved based on the T800, their intelligence was still a fatal flaw! What was even more infuriating was that these guys had actually learned to communicate using internal communication, and it would take quite a bit of effort to find out what they were saying to each other.

Zhang Xun returned to the bridge and reconnected the Minerva communication system.

“Zhang Xun, we have set up the trap as planned,” Talia said in the communication.

"Received! We will loosen the steel cable connecting the retreating fleet shortly. The Minerva, Archangel, and Archangel warships will dive underwater to carry out the ambush." ​​Zhang Xun began assigning the warships to carry out the ambush.

"Hey! The Minerva doesn't have a diving capability!" Arthur said from the side.

"Well, this time the alert was finally somewhat useful. I've calculated that the Minerva can go into space. Except for the key areas that haven't been treated with anti-corrosion, it's fine to dive underwater. And the pursuers will arrive within an hour. We won't stay underwater for long. We'll just rinse it off after we come out."

Zhang Xun then deployed the ambush formation, with the Minerva as the vanguard, and two more ships positioned diagonally behind and to the left and right of the enemy ships that entered the ambush area. This would both avoid friendly fire and maximize the firepower of the ambush warships.

Meanwhile, the Earth Force's evacuation fleet continued its planned withdrawal towards the Bering Strait, while the Archangel and other ships submerged underwater to prepare for an ambush.
