The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Hyakushiki tried to stop it, but was restrained by the firepower of another Marase and three Gozakus. He was able to defend and evade for a while, but he was unable to attack again.

The situation of the others was similar to Maya's. After George injured a High Zaku with a rocket launcher diffuser bomb, he was immediately surrounded by three High Zakus.

A GM 2 team bypassed the front line, two planes held back Ash, and one plane found the right opportunity and blew up the flight pedals of four people in succession.

Since the MS has limited propellant, losing the flight pedals means losing the ability to fight flexibly for a long time.

"Idiot, is that you across from me?"

Seeing this, Hina found the right opportunity and sent a message to Gundam.

"Why did you join Caius?!"

After the box was opened, Rencai didn't feel surprised at all.

"Didn't you say we should learn to read the atmosphere? Now Caius has already attacked innocent buildings with colony satellites. Do you still think it has the support of the majority?!"

The two planes quickly approached the distance of hand-to-hand combat.

Since the beam rifle's energy was exhausted and there was no time to replace the magazine, Jinna had no choice but to draw the Mark Rabbit's beam saber to fight back.

The same is true for Hina, but Marase's beam saber has a longer blade.

If the beam saber of Mark Rabbit is just a one-handed sword, then the beam saber of Marasai is like a naginata or a long-handled broadsword.

In hand-to-hand combat, humanoid weapons like MS also follow the principle of "the longer the weapon, the stronger it is" in the era of cold weapons.

At the same distance, Marase's beam saber can pierce Mark Rabbit's cockpit, but Mark Rabbit can only cut Marase's mechanical arm.

Therefore, once they started fighting, Rencai was at a disadvantage.

Their battle situation at this time is a microcosm of the battle between Wu Ci and Caius.

"That guy you were fighting with, how many people in school do you think actually liked her?!"

In terms of talking, Yang Cai is also not inferior.

"You always talk about yourself, but you may not know about Xia Ya and Chihaya Aine, so let me tell you——

Most people are jealous of her outstanding appearance and the fact that she dates so many handsome guys. No one likes her at all!

But before you fight with her, she is the pinnacle of current life, and after the fight, she is still the same, there is no change at all!

Even though many people hate Caius's behavior, ordinary people will not actually resist Caius as long as they are not forced into a desperate situation, have a place to live, and have something to eat!

It’s just like that annoying guy in school who leads the bullying, but no one stands up for him!

In this world where everyone only thinks about themselves, if you think too much, you will lose your life like the two people you are talking about!

Stupid, you have to understand!"

"You keep calling me an idiot, what else do you want me to understand?!"

Rencai stared at Marase on the Quan Zhou Tian screen, anger accumulating in her heart.

"Right is right, wrong is wrong!"

"Only a soul bound by gravity would find so many excuses for its own weakness!"

Jinna knew that maybe it was really like what Haruna said, people who only think about themselves are hopeless.

But which of her companions did not give up their stable lives to come here?

So, no matter how beautifully Hina spoke, she couldn't be convinced.

"That bastard was so arrogant in school for so long, but in the end, I beat him up, didn't I?"

"Now, just like then, your good days are over, Caius!"

Rencai pretended to attack, but actually activated the Vulcan Cannon on her head, forcing Marcella to raise her shield for defense.

This is not just playing house in a simulation cabin. If we don’t repel them quickly, Captain Maya’s plan will not be realized!

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Mark Rabbit quickly opened up a valuable distance and replaced the energy magazine of the beam rifle before being caught up by Marcella.

The next moment, light burst out from the muzzle of the beam rifle.

Even if Hina reacted in advance, after several evasions, she could only rely on her shield for defense.

Even a shield made of Gundamium alloy and composite materials cannot continuously block the beam rifle.

But that’s okay…

"Mark Rabbit only has seven beams!"

When Mark Rabbit fired seven beams, Hina decisively threw away the shield that had been hit by two beams, intending to close the distance again.

But Rencai made a decision that she had never expected.

She ignored Hina and didn't change the magazine for her beam rifle. Instead, she switched to a bazooka while moving.

"Have you learned to run away now?!"

Haruna was a little bit unbelievable. When they were in the MS youth training class in Area 11, they had fought each other nearly a hundred times.

In these nearly one hundred battles, Rencai never retreated once.

Therefore, Yang Cai was somewhat caught off guard by Mark's actions at this moment.

This kind of Rencai feels unfamiliar to her...

"Not good! Major, be careful!"

Although she quickly changed the magazine and aimed at the Mark Rabbit, it only slowed down Renai's movements slightly.

Mark Rabbit aimed at a nearby High Zaku that was besieging the Hyaku-Shiki and pulled the trigger of the rocket launcher without hesitation.

The High Zaku, which was originally focused on attacking the Hyaku Shiki, had no time to react. Its armor was only titanium-ceramic composite armor, and it was riddled with bullets.

"Don't try to succeed!"

When Mark Rabbit moved the muzzle and was about to shoot at the red Marcella, Hina had already found a perfect shooting angle and immediately shot at it.

A High Zaku also reacted and quickly shot at the Mark Rabbit.

"Hey! Leave Mark Rabbit alone..."

Before Major Isabella finished speaking, the High Zaku, which had switched its target from the Hyaku-Shiki to the Mark Rabbit, was blasted with a white-hot hole by the Hyaku-Shiki's beam rifle.

Major Isabella's scalp immediately went numb. Under the siege of four machines, the shining golden mobile suit was almost unscathed. As soon as the High Zaku showed a flaw, it was immediately killed by it.

You know, she and the other driver were not idle just now.

That is to say, while dealing with them, the driver of the golden MS even had enough time to observe the situation on the battlefield!

Chapter 53: Captain Maya's Pursuer

Major Isabella realized that her plan to hold them back until reinforcements arrived had failed.

As if to confirm her guess, the only remaining High Zaku that was holding Hyakushiki back was hit by the rocket launcher stored behind Hyakushiki the moment she dodged the beam, and was instantly killed in the northwest.

"Form a team, cover the Yot team, and retreat in an orderly manner!"

After recognizing the reality, she gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

She could continue to hold out and wait for support from friendly forces, but before the support arrived, how many of their remaining eight mobile suits would be left?

"hateful!"

Haruna was very unhappy that her first attempt at piloting a MS ended in a retreat, but an order was an order.

"You bastard, you'd better not let me meet you next time!"

"I don't want to meet you either!" Rencai was not willing to be outdone, and turned around and shot at a retreating High Zaku.

But when the MS driver wanted to retreat, the rocket launcher's bullet speed was not enough.

After receiving the order, the squadron led by Major Isabella did not retreat in a hurry.

After they reunited, they covered each other and successfully retreated by riding on the pedals parked at the edge of the battle area, at the expense of Major Isabella, who was behind the rear and whose Marcella had its shield damaged and the fuselage slightly damaged, and two GM-2s were damaged.

This is a decent ending for both parties.

Although the Mayan team destroyed a total of seven High Zakus, including the previous battle, all the ammunition that the ground crew had imaginatively tied to the flight pedals had been blown up.

In this battle, most of the ammunition carried by the aircraft was consumed, and the two Likdias were also slightly damaged in the battle.

If we continue to fight them, the situation will be very dangerous when their reinforcements arrive.

"We'll retreat too,"

Maya also made the decision to temporarily retreat.

Jinna glanced at the direction Haruna had left, and she didn't know whether she felt regret for not being able to achieve a greater victory, or she felt relieved.

Maybe both...

After the four aircraft passed the acceleration phase, they closed the nozzles to avoid exposing their own positions and those of the battleship.

"I'm sorry, Captain Maya, I didn't protect the pedal well, otherwise I could have continued the attack."

The return journey was much easier.

Although he and the other three were fighting in a chaotic manner, Xiaozhi couldn't help but feel a little frustrated because all the pedals were destroyed.

"Even if the pedal is still intact, we should retreat,"

Maya didn't say directly: You did a good job.

"Facing an enemy force three times our size, equipped with cutting-edge aircraft, we not only face difficulty advancing, but also the risk of being shot down,"

Rather, it shows that the destruction of the pedal did not affect the plan.

"Maya-san, I still don't understand. If you're fully aware of the lack of manpower limitations, why would you propose such a ridiculous battle plan?"

"Could it be..."

Xiaozhi suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

Although Maya has always emphasized that for Wuzhi, victory is to sink Caius's flagship,

But there is actually another kind of victory, which is to successfully break through Caius's encirclement at a small cost.

Now they are pretending to attack the enemy's flagship, probably to make the enemy mobilize its troops and move closer to the flagship. If the posture is intimidating enough, it is very likely to succeed.

Although he had a guess, Xiaozhi didn't want to verify it anymore.

She is not a very curious person. She just wants to know that Maya has a clear idea in her heart.

"Where did Subaru go?"

After landing on the Argama, she noticed that Metas was no longer on the deck.

But Xiaozhi didn't have the time to ask anyone because she was nervous before the battle and didn't get enough rest yesterday. After asking how long it would take to complete the supply,

She set an alarm on her hairless digital watch to prevent herself from oversleeping.

But it turned out that she was worrying too much.

In this unfamiliar zero-gravity space, she had just experienced being surrounded by three mobile suits and was ready to die at any moment.

No matter how big a heart one has, it is difficult to fall asleep.

"Lupa...are you okay now?"

Wu Ci was very efficient. He said he would help Xiao Zhi find someone, and he quickly found out Lupa's whereabouts.

The girl who was kind to everyone did not come to the moon, but went to a place farther away.

A new asteroid mine,

Xiaozhi always had a bad feeling in his heart, as if something bad would happen in the future.

…………

When Jeanne came onto the deck, the busy ground crew were about to salute her, but she interrupted them with a smile.

She gestured for everyone to continue working and walked straight towards the golden mobile suit.

Maya did not rest. Seeing her coming, she opened the cockpit.

Since both of them turned off their headsets, Rencai, who was in the cockpit of the Mark Rabbit, didn't hear what they were saying.

It's just that both of them seemed very happy, and they were very close to each other, physically touching and "talking".

"She's also pursuing Captain Maya..."

Taoxiang's words echoed in Rencai's mind, making her feel a little irritated.
