Chapter 175 Attacking the Fortress

"Buzz buzz..."

"This is it! Powerful photon radiation has been detected behind the enemy's front lines!"

At the last moment when the photon destruction cannon was about to be fired, the photon radiation was detected by the Downs Fortress.

"Is that done? Immediately notify the troops on the ray axis to retreat! The Downs Fortress makes an emergency U-turn, heading towards F21, and the [Giant's Shield] system is activated!"

The peculiar limbs of Downs Fortress shimmered, getting brighter and brighter. Lasers were emitted from four points to connect together. Three consecutive layers of solid energy barriers stood in front of Downs Fortress in a pointed cone shape.

At the moment when [Giant Shield] was completed, a torrent of photons visible to the naked eye hit the solid giant shield, and majestic energy spurted out, pushing the Downs Fortress back continuously, but [Giant Shield] ] However, there was not even the slightest gap. Under the protection of the [Giant's Shield], which was as stable as a mountain, the Downs Fortress suffered almost no damage.

"Report the situation!" Medel Sant asked immediately after surviving a shelling.

"No major damage found!"

"Huh~" Medel Sant breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Have you finally caught up? Gerhart's prediction was indeed accurate."

Immediately, Medel Sant asked about the damage of friendly troops: "What are the losses of the troops?"

"10% of friendly signals lost!"

"Bang~" Hearing this, although he was mentally prepared from the beginning, Medel Sant couldn't help but hit the podium with his fist.

"Is it still too late?"

Although the retreat order was issued in time, it was still too late for the frontline troops, especially after the [Celestial Being] Brigade got out of the way. The troops attacking the central defense line were like wild beasts coming out of the cage, killing the Diva in front. Treating it as delicious prey, Nodram pounced on it regardless of the consequences.

They rushed too fast and fell into the enemy's encirclement. The excitement that they thought they had successfully driven away the [Celestial Being] brigade made their eyes red, they lost their minds, and finally embarked on the path of destruction.

"Report the situation to Commander Gerhat. This kind of weapon cannot be used continuously. Let's attack with the whole army now!"

"Yes!"XN

…

The [Photon Ring Array] attack caused huge casualties to VEGAN, but there was no joy on the part of the federal army.

"The electron beam was diffused and the fortress was not damaged."

"What!?"

"What's going on?" Fleet asked quickly. He found it hard to accept that the hit he was determined to win didn't work as it should.

"The enemy appears to have deployed some kind of intervention bunker," Romarihui reported.

"how come……"

"It actually resolved our tactics on the spot..."

The atmosphere on the bridge of the USS Diva is very gloomy. Although 10% of the enemy's troops have been eliminated, their target is still the USS Downs Fortress. If the USS Downs Fortress is not destroyed, even 20% or 30% of the enemy's troops will be of no avail.

"Recharge immediately!" Fleet ordered immediately.

"learn!"

"But Commander, the interference bunker in the enemy fortress..." Arugureas asked. As long as the interference bunker exists, no matter how many times the [Photon Ring Array] is fired, it may not have any effect.

"...What's the current situation of the [Celestial Being] Brigade?" Fleet asked.

"We're at war," Romary replied.

"...There is nothing we can do, Alugureas, the next command will be left to you." After saying that, Fleet stood up and left the bridge, heading in the direction of Grakku.

"That's right..." Seeing Fleet leave, Alugureas shrugged. He had long expected that Fleet would attack in person.

The activity of the [Celestial Being] Brigade has made many people forget that before becoming Commander-in-Chief, Fleet was an ace pilot second only to the [Three Archangels of the Federation].

Although he focused on battlefield command, his heart still yearned to fight on the front lines. This was one of the reasons why he spared no effort to train Arugureas as his successor.

However... the [Celestial Being] brigade is too dazzling, and ordinary small scenes do not require the Commander-in-Chief to appear at all. Big scenes... such as the [Giant Ring] base defense battle, just when Fleet was about to attack personally, VEGAN retreated .

"Leave the next step to me, Commander!" Alugureas said confidently in his heart.

…

"The damned Federation still hides such a weapon!" Dieter Lance was furious. How many compatriots were drowned in the torrent of photons just now? Too many to count!

"Is that why the deputy commander issued the retreat order? Damn the federal army!" Ofa Fadian said with equal anger.

"If we hadn't been entangled by [Moon Angel]'s sniper attack, wouldn't we have also..."

Once Dole Frost reminded them, their fiery brains cooled down, and their backs were instantly wet with cold sweat.

Yes, if [Moon Angel]'s sniper hadn't blocked them outside the ray axis of [Photon Ring Array], they would probably have had a red eye like the other VEGAN troops, and then been overwhelmed by the torrent of photons.

In a sense, Yulin is their savior.

"Tch! It's really unpleasant!"

"But we can't just let it go!"

"Whether it is Lord Gerhard's order or the hatred of our compatriots, we are not allowed to stop. Offa, Dieter, let's go!"

"Understood!" X2

The three Royal Guards rushed towards the three Gundams of the Celestial Beings with blazing flames behind them. They knew it was a futile attempt, but neither Gerhardt's orders nor the hatred of their compatriots would allow them to stop because of fear.

…

"Shh~ It's still quite spectacular." Graham whistled in admiration. It was also the first time he saw a large strategic weapon in action.

"Are you surprised? Then won't you be scared to death in the future?" Yang Hui teased.

Isn't it? [Photon Ring Array] is really nothing. There are too many similar and more powerful weapons in many worlds, such as flashlights, Genesis, and Requiem, not to mention the more buggy moonlight cannons, moonlight butterflies, photon torpedoes and other black-on-black technologies.

"Wow? Really? Then I won't be bored." Graham grinned. Since there are more powerful strategic weapons, there must be more powerful opponents. This can't scare him, it will only make him more and more excited.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opponents for you to challenge in the future. Now..." Yang Hui looked at the enemy detection system, and three enemy logos rushed over, "... greet the guests first."

"It's the three of them... Yulin, do you mind if I snatch your opponents?"

"Please feel free." Yulin replied indifferently. She didn't reject fighting, but it didn't mean she liked fighting. If someone could do it for her so that she could spend more time with Yang Hui, she would naturally not object.

"Then I'll go!"

As soon as the voice fell, the back of the Flag Gundam also burst into flames, turning into a meteor and rushing towards the three guards.

"Beep beep beep..." At this time, Fleet's communication request came.

"Is your battle over?" Fleet asked directly after the communication was connected.

"Almost. The enemy planes in the central passage have been driven to the left and right wings." Yang Hui replied. The attack of the [Photon Ring Array] completely sobered up the hot-headed VEGAN army. Then the three Gundams kept hunting the surviving remnants and scared them completely. They all headed towards the ordinary federal army on both sides, no longer trying to see if the Grim Reaper's sickle was sharp.

"Graham..."

"The enemy's last X-Rounder unit."

"I see, then you follow me and attack the VEGAN mobile fortress to create an opportunity for the [Photon Ring Array] to launch again."

"Directly attack the fortress?"

"Well, the enemy's actions are very strange. Until now, there has been no attack directed at Nordram itself, so..."

"Occupy Nordram without damage?"

"Yes, if we analyze it based on the opponent's action pattern and movement trajectory, this is the only answer." Flit nodded affirmatively.

"So that's how it is. They really dare to think." Yang Hui pretended to mock. Knowing the original plot, he not only knew from the beginning that VEGAN's goal was to force the Downs Fortress to connect with Nordram, but also knew that Izelkanda did not think that this combat plan would succeed from the beginning. His ultimate goal was to take advantage of the opportunity of the destruction and disintegration of the Downs Fortress to allow VEGAN's troops to hide in the debris and sneak into the earth.

But he couldn't say it now, not because he didn't want to spoil the plot, but because he had no tenable reason. Could he tell Fleet that he could predict the future?

"Yang Hui, Yulin, VEGAN's conspiracy must not succeed. Follow me!"

"Understood." X2

The Dawn Gundam and Luna Gundam followed the Gundam AGE-1 and went straight to the Downs Fortress. Regardless of whether they knew the other party's plan or not, the goal of this battle was very clear, that is, to destroy the Downs Fortress and thwart VEGAN's plan. As for the final infiltration force, they could only find another opportunity to clean it up. Anyway, there were still more than 20 years before VEGAN's large-scale invasion of the earth. Even if they couldn't find all of them, they could kill a large part of them.

After overcoming all the obstacles along the way, the Dawn Gundam, Luna Gundam and Gundam AGE-2 arrived in front of the Downs Fortress. With heavy firepower in front of them, no matter how good the three of them were, they could not do anything to this hedgehog covered with spikes.

"Tsk tsk, it's worthy of being a fortress. This anti-aircraft firepower network must have at least hundreds of beam cannons, right?" Yang Hui smacked his lips and sighed.

"Is it time to sigh about the enemy now?" Fleet's mouth twitched wildly. What time is it? Still kidding... But Fleet quickly gave up treatment. After all, this is Yang Hui, who rarely gets nervous or anxious in battle.

"What should we do now? If this goes on, there will be no time to destroy the interference bunker device." Yang Hui asked Fleet. Although it is no problem to destroy all the hundreds of naval guns, it takes time, and they don't have enough time to slowly destroy the Downs Fortress.

"We destroyed its propulsion system. Before resisting the attack of the [Photon Ring Array], the fortress adjusted its direction, so the interference bunker can only work in a specific direction."

"Understood... I really want to say this, Yulin, you go to protect Fleet, as a guest, I have to respond to the host's warm welcome." Yang Hui said, driving the Dawn Gundam to meet the swarming enemy planes.
