The shining Shoko Toyokawa

The battle had been deadlocked for more than 10 hours. The Atlantic Federation forces, led by America, continued to attack the coastal defenses from the sea and land.

This is clearly a battle in the information age. Logically, anti-radiation missiles should be used to attack ground radar systems. After gaining air superiority, cruise missiles and precision-guided bombs should be used to accurately strike land targets.

Thus, just like the Iraq War, the American army could achieve the feat of defeating an army of nearly one million with only a few hundred casualties.

However, due to the spread of the Minovsky particles, the war situation seemed to have returned to the World War II period.

Ordinary cruise missiles may not be as effective as artillery shells. The MS and tank units of both sides attacked each other's defenses back and forth.

The most brutal thing is the close combat, where humanoid war weapons over 18 meters tall draw their melee weapons for hand-to-hand combat.

If you are not careful, you may be stabbed through with the cockpit, and you have to be on guard against the guys who may open fire at any time.

The Atlantic Federation has third-generation aircraft, and the defending side also has them. Moreover, their rocket launchers and ballistic missiles are like free, often suppressing the Atlantic Federation side.

What's even more terrible is that ballistic missiles occasionally fall next to the white Trojan horse.

Every time a ballistic missile landed, the temporary captain's heart trembled, fearing that he would be hit by another one.

If it weren't for the influence of the Minovsky particles, which made it difficult to accurately guide ballistic missiles, the White Trojan Horse would have been shot to pieces long ago.

The White Trojan Horse was quite frustrated. It could have easily left the Earth's orbit and flown into the universe where no one could reach it.

But because of the bickering among the bigwigs and the unskilled crew, too much time was wasted in Cairo.

It was damaged just as it was about to set sail. After it was finally repaired, it was hit by a ballistic missile again.

This stalemate could have lasted for several days, but by then, the White Horse might have been hit again.

So under the death order from above, the Atlantic Federation began to attack at all costs.

In addition, the Kshatriyas that flew over the sea shot down several third-generation mobile suits of the defending side in a short period of time, as well as a squadron of third-generation mobile suits that came to reinforce the Kshatriyas.

The defenders, who were already under attack from all sides, had no choice but to start organizing a retreat, and the White Trojan Horse's road to the sea was opened.

………………

Meanwhile, the Red Sea

While the Atlantic Federation's military strength is mostly in a hurry to open the passage,

Under the protection of Anxia, ​​Xia Ya boarded a container ship that had been stranded in the Red Sea for almost a month due to the war.

Due to the high concentration of Minovsky particles scattered around, the snow system is now almost completely ineffective.

Anxia moved a pile of modified containers, and a giant steel figure appeared under the cold moonlight.

Xia stepped forward, her white fingers gently stroking its armor. "I'm sorry, Cosi. It must be hard for you to come here alone..."

"But it doesn't matter. I will accompany you from now on."

Xia Ya put on her helmet and entered the cockpit of Cosi. The full-circle screen automatically lit up.

"Shaya Isabella, attack!"

Chapter 166: Chihaya, please kill the flashing demon

"Xia Ya-san, I'll go with you,"

"No, Natasha, you have more important things to do," Xia said sternly to Natasha on the communication line. "The Nautilus doesn't have strong mobile suits protecting it right now. You and the others must ensure our escape route."

"..."

Natasha was silent for a moment. Xia Ya's situation at this moment was exactly the same as it was a few months ago.

On one side are your friends, and on the other side is the "right" in your heart.

In the end, Natasha chose the most tragic 'correct' choice.

If possible, she really hoped that Xia Ya's 'ending' would be better than her own.

But at this time, what excessive demands can we have?

"Please act with caution..."

"Well, I understand Natasha..."

The 'Laser Grid' was activated, and Cosi's shoulder blades rose up, and in an instant he entered the cruise mode.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the sea level. This place was not far from the Suez Canal. It only took a short flight to reach the center of the battlefield.

"Aine, Suyo...will you come and stop me?"

At this time, the white wooden horse had already "floated" onto the surface of the Mediterranean Sea. Everyone in the Atlantic Federation breathed a sigh of relief.

On the sea surface less than 200 nautical miles away, there are 5 aircraft carrier formations squeezed together, and there are countless ships and MS. As long as you reach the sea surface, you will soon be protected by the aircraft carrier formations.

The Mediterranean coast is the sphere of influence of the Atlantic Federation. It can be said that once you reach the Mediterranean, you are halfway to safety.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the 'unknown forces' have now left the front line and retreated inland.

"We are finally safe..."

Just as the temporary captain was sighing like this, a beam of light shot out from a distance and almost hit the bridge of the White Trojan Horse.

"Enemy attack!"

Without his reminder, all the escorting mobile suits understood what happened in an instant.

"An ultra-long-range beam cannon?!"

The captain of an Anxia team made an accurate judgment.

But he used the photoelectric system to shoot at the beam to detect it but found nothing.

There are only two possibilities in this situation. One is that the enemy hid after shooting.

Second, the enemy was shooting outside the extreme detection range of the optoelectronic system!

But how is this possible?

The detection range of Anxia's optoelectronic system is not small, and they are nearly 20 kilometers away from the white Trojan horse. The only light source tonight is a little moonlight.

How could I possibly see it from such a distance...

By Anksha's standards, this is indeed the case, but if it were not Anksha,

But what about the shining devil?

"Captain, the one shooting might be a Flash Devil," he asked his men to gain altitude while requesting support, "We need support from the Kshatriyas and other third-generation aircraft!"

"Drip drip"

The alarm sounded suddenly, and the team leader subconsciously evaded the situation.

A beam of light passed through his previous route. If he had not changed direction urgently, he would have been dead.

"hateful!"

The team leader was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "Be careful to avoid it! The enemy can aim and shoot outside our detection range!"

"Didi"

It was only then that the detection system captured the enemy's tracks.

It was a fast-moving point of light, with a speed of up to Mach 2 at sea level!

Who else among the Atlantic Federation's enemies could possess such a machine besides Ave Mujica?!

"It's the Shining Demon! At nine o'clock, quick! We can't let her get within range to accurately attack the White Trojan!"

Anxia changed his tactics and increased the power of his thermonuclear engine to its limit, firing indiscriminately at the light spot approaching at Mach speed!

The distance between the two is still nearly 20 kilometers. At such a distance, the hit rate cannot be guaranteed.

Except for the shining demon, of course!

She kept shooting while approaching at high speed. Many Atlantic Federation machines on the ground that tried to resist were blown up by her in the moonlight as soon as they attacked.

When the distance between Anxia's five-machine formation and the flashing demon was shortened to the point where the beam rifles in his hands could pose a certain threat,

Most of the ground mobile suits of the two teams that were originally responsible for the rearguard were set off by the flashing devil.

You have to know that only one minute has passed since she opened fire. This is the fifth-generation MS, which absolutely crushes the first-generation antiques such as Zaku and Devil.

"hateful!"

The team leader cursed angrily and continued to rush towards the flashing demon. "Number 1, follow me. The others, attack from the 10 o'clock direction. It will be more advantageous for us to close the distance!"

"I'm Cosi's pilot," Xia warned again via radio. "Get out of the way! Stopping me with a mobile suit like this will only lead to your own death."

"hateful!"

The team leader then realized that the shot that almost hit the white horse was a warning shot.

After hearing that the voice coming from the public communication channel was only that of a young girl, and that she looked down on him and his teammates, the team leader became even more angry. "How can you know if you don't try this kind of thing?!"

Because of the dispersion of the Minovsky particles, the distance over which radio waves can be transmitted becomes extremely narrow. Only when they get close to this distance can they receive the "radio waves" sent by Cauchy.

Xia Ya also realized that she might have made a mistake——

I underestimated the concentration of Milovsky particles, and wasted my time talking about it out of naiveté.

"I'm sorry, but I must destroy the White Horse. If you insist on stopping me, then this is the punishment for not listening to warnings."

Xia Ya ignored the beams of light that passed by the machine, and controlled Cosi to raise her gun and shoot. In less than two seconds, the two machines attacking from the right exploded into fireworks. It was as if she knew the enemy's next move.

At this time, the remaining three Anxias had already come close.

But with Anxia's speed, it was meaningless to get closer. Cosi rose rapidly as if he had overcome gravity, but he no longer paid attention to them, and flew quickly towards the direction of the white wooden horse.

At this time, Kexi's speed was still faster than the sound. After Anxia turned around with difficulty, she couldn't even catch her exhaust.

Xia Ya ignored the risk of being hit by Anxia's beam and flew towards the white wooden horse that was barely visible as a small dot in the photoelectric system.

Just when she was about to try her luck by shooting a few shots from a long distance,

A shrill alarm sounded in Cosey's cockpit.

A four-winged machine soared into the sky, and four beams of light shot out in a diamond shape, cutting off Cauchy's route.

"Kshatriyas... Even if they send space mobile suits, you won't trust them?"

"What a disgusting feeling... It's like a wall! I don't know how that Chihaya became friends with her." Lilith frowned in disgust and opened the public communication channel. "Flash Devil pilot, let me show you that the performance of the machine does not determine victory or defeat!"

Twenty missiles hidden under the Kshatriya's wings were launched simultaneously, including three floating missiles borrowed from the Odysseus Gundam.

"Then let me see it for myself!"

Cauchy began to change direction rapidly, so that the direction of the missile would be at his three o'clock position.

Instantly, Chara switched her beam rifle to a burst mode that had low single-shot power but high sustained firepower.

He aimed at the incoming missiles and pulled the trigger. However, since the missile swarm was too dense, hitting one missile would often cause several to explode, and also affect the tracking of subsequent missiles.

When the missile approaches to about 1.5 kilometers from Cauchy, most ordinary missiles with their power section (fuel) exhausted will be far behind the floating missiles.

At Cauchy's speed, leaving them alone wouldn't pose much of a threat.

The real trouble is the three floating missiles with variable trajectories and long power stages. They are not guided by their own infrared or radar.

It is directly controlled by the brainwaves of the Kshatriya pilot. Unlike ordinary air-to-air missiles, this thing is extremely powerful. Even a fifth-generation MS like Cauchy cannot withstand it head-on.

"Tell me, Cosi..." Xia Ya's eyes were fixed on the floating missile that was twisting and turning. "What was the pilot thinking?"

With a feeling as if something was entering her mind, she saw,

I saw where the floating missile would appear in the next moment.

"!!!"

"boom"

A hail of bullets from the beam rifle covered the area, and a floating missile was hit and exploded in mid-air, making it useless.

Then comes the second rose!

After dodging the salvos from the Kshatriya's four Mega Particle Cannons, Cosi raised his gun sideways and shot down the third one!

Next it was Cauchy's turn to attack.

"Performance isn't everything, but you're firing missiles from a distance like a child, even using up the power of the hovering missiles. Do you think you can defeat me?"

"Fall!" Lilith stared at the approaching Cauchy with horror. Her mind went blank and only the instinct to pull the trigger remained. "We're clearly within the missile's range! Damn it, this is different from what we agreed on!"

At this moment, it was not like Lilith was controlling the Kshatriya, but rather she was being controlled by a machine. This shooting method, which was based solely on Cosi's current flight trajectory and was decided by the computer, was like telling Xia Ya where to shoot before she even shot.

Hiding naturally made him feel no pressure. As he moved around, the distance between Kosi and the Kshatriya was shortened to the point where he could cross it in two breaths.
