Chapter 305: Survival From a Desperate Situation

Half a month has passed since Cagalli returned to the Archangel safely after her disappearance. The Archangel successfully broke through the Indian Ocean and headed towards Orb. The journey in the Indian Ocean was a short period of calm after the elimination of the Marco team.

During this period of time, Yang Hui could calm down and complete the development of the OS for natural people, at least on the surface. Saiyi and Thor, who wanted to learn MS driving, followed Yang Hui all the time, without saying a word, but their expectant eyes almost made Yang Hui look through.

Since he promised them, Yang Hui would naturally fulfill his promise.

However, Yang Hui also knew that Thor and Saiyi were real cannon fodder. Yang Hui regarded them as friends, so he naturally hoped that they would stay in the safe bridge to work, so he deliberately concealed part of it when writing the OS, and dragged the progress of the two with the excuse that the technology was incomplete and needed to be improved.

Moreover, the Archangel was still sailing on the sea, and it was unknown when the enemy would attack, so he could only help them do some simple basic training, such as controlling the MS to raise their hands and move their feet, and at most walking a few steps in the hangar.

Although they were exhausted every time, they were also very excited because this was a MS! The patent of the Adjuster!

When they were still in North Africa, Sai was unwilling to let Frey be taken away by Kira, so he thought about driving the Strike Gundam instead of Kira. As a result, he sat in the cockpit and walked forward one or two steps, and the whole person collapsed.

Although now they can only do some simple movements and can't hold on for too long, it is much better than before! Moreover, the OS for natural people written by Yang Hui has not been completed yet. They believe that one day it will be completed, and one day they can really drive MS to fight.

However, the peaceful time is always short-lived. When crossing the Indian Ocean and preparing to enter Oceania from the Strait of Malacca, they encountered a heavy ambush by the ZAFT army. The ambush included the Aslan team with Duel, Storm, Thunder and Holy Shield. Although they broke through the ambush circle without any danger, the Archangel was severely damaged in that battle. The [Porcupine Formation] and [Heroic] on the port side were all destroyed, and even the engine on the left side was damaged. Lyle's [Jean] was also severely damaged, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Moreover, ZAFT's attack was not just an ambush. Originally, they needed to prepare for [Break Operation]. ZAFT's forces on Earth were mobilized nervously and prepared to launch a large-scale battle, but Izak and Diego had an unimaginable obsession with the Archangel and would not give up until the Archangel was sunk.

At the same time, Aslan has always wanted to sink the Archangel and free Kira. He still believes that the reason why Kira is fighting for the Earth Army is that the Earth Army deceived him or held his friends hostage as a threat. As long as he sinks the Archangel, Kira's bondage will no longer exist.

Therefore, no matter which direction the Archangel escapes, the Sara team will bite the Archangel's tail tightly.

"Captain, if this continues, we may not be able to reach Orb." Baki Lulu checked the current situation of the Archangel and reported to Malu with a depressed face.

"I know it's difficult, but we must persist. We are not far from the border of Orb. As long as we enter the border of Orb, we will win." Malu encouraged everyone. As a captain, she certainly knew how critical the current situation of the Archangel was. She was also helpless. For the safety of everyone, she even found Yang Hui and shamelessly asked him to send a telegram to Orb to send a fleet to support them. At worst, just like the universe, spend money to hire some mercenaries.

But Yang Hui rejected her request. It was not because Yang Hui was cold-blooded, but because he really couldn't do it.

Orb's fleet could indeed welcome the Archangel, but this must be within Orb's transit. Inviting the Archangel to Orb for repairs and supplies in the name of commissioned escort was already the limit of what Yang Hui could do. If Orb's fleet rushed out of the transit to fight the ZAFT army, what was the difference between that and directly declaring war on ZAFT?

And the mercenaries... except for [Giant Serpent's Tail], Yang Hui would not believe any of the other mercenaries. If the people of the scrap recyclers' union were all hyenas except Luo's team, then most of the mercenary organizations were jackals and tigers.

Although the people of the scrap recyclers were insidious and cunning, as long as the price was determined and the money was paid and the goods were delivered, they would not do anything else, but most of the mercenaries would really do anything for money.

Archangel and Strike Gundam are the Atlantic Federation's latest battleships and MS, full of secrets. Wouldn't they be overwhelmed by greed when they saw them? Without waiting for the pursuit of the Sara team, the mercenaries can completely carve up the Archangel.

Unfortunately, the [Giant Serpent Tail] has already returned to the universe and cannot catch up in a short time.

Of course, Yang Hui is familiar with more than just the [Giant Serpent Tail], but only the [Giant Serpent Tail] can be trusted. There is an independent MS pilot named Kate Matican who can be used with confidence, but unfortunately, he has also accepted a bodyguard mission and cannot be spared.

"Beep beep beep..."

"Radar reacts! MS4!"

Without reporting the specific model, everyone already knows which unit the four chasing MSs are from, and they all return to their posts. The Strike Gundam and Mu's Sky King are also ready to attack and fight.

At this time, a brand new reaction appeared on the radar, in another direction.

"There is a new reaction on the radar, heat source detection...a large number of warships and fighter planes are approaching!"

"What!?"

Hearing this, despair began to spread in everyone's hearts. With the current state of the Archangel, whether it can survive in the hands of Team Sala is a question. Coupled with the large fleet and fighter planes, they have no chance of survival. .

"Damn it! They're all here!"

"It's over, everything is over..."

…

Kaz, Thor and others vented their reluctance and despair. Arnold and other regular soldiers held back the same emotions and still stayed at their posts, but they were about to be unable to suppress the collapse of their rationality. Only Malu and Baji Lulu could still persist in.

"Compare the database and check the ship type and aircraft model!"

"Ah? Yes!" Sai gave up because of despair, so he did not check the database immediately. But after getting the answer, all the negative emotions disappeared.

"Comparing the database, it's Orb! Orb Aegis-class cruiser and Kuramigami-class battleship!"

"Orb's fleet!"

"Are you here to save us? Great! We're saved!"

"Wait! The Orb fleet...stop moving!"

"What?"

"What exactly does that mean?"

"Why don't you come and save us?"

"Ensign Arnold, maximum combat speed, move towards the Orb fleet!"

The appearance of the Orb fleet was indeed a shot in the arm, raising hopes for everyone, but the stoppage of the Orb fleet cast a shadow. Malu knew very well that the location where the Orb fleet stopped was the Orb's national border. Whether the Archangel can survive depends on whether it can cross the border safely.

"Ah? Yes!"

Everyone couldn't figure out why the Orb fleet stopped all operations, but Malu's order had been issued, and this was their only hope now.

On the other side, the four Aslans who were pursuing also saw the Orb fleet spreading out its battle line on the sea. Unaware of the truth, they thought it was the Archangel that was about to enter Orb's national border and came to intercept them, and they were secretly happy. , now the roads in front and behind the Archangel were completely blocked.

Just when Yitzhak was about to give chase, the Holy Shield Gundam stood in front of the Duel Gundam.

"Wait, Yitzhak, something's wrong."

"Aslan? Get out of my way!"

"Something is indeed wrong. The artillery of Yitzhak, Diego, and the Orb fleet...are all locked onto us." Thunder Gundam also stopped Storm Gundam and explained to them.

"What!?"

The three of them began to check the system and found that Nigel was right. The Orb fleet blocking the front of the Archangel did not issue any warning to the approaching Archangel. They even moved out of the way and fired their guns. They all pointed at the four Gundams in the sky.

"What is going on? Has Orb defected to the United Earth?" Yitzhak asked through gritted teeth.

"It's so obvious, can't you see it? In this case, Orb is also a hostile country, let's go directly!" Diego suggested, even preparing to take action.

"That's right, I've already been unhappy with Orb!"

"Stop it! Yitzhak, Diego, you wait here, I'll go check out the situation."

"It's too dangerous, Aslan."

"Then what should we do now? Just retreat like this?"

No one would be willing to watch the overripe duck fly away from their mouths, not only Yitzhak and Diego, but also Aslan and Nigel.

"be safe."

"If Orb dares to fire, I will sink this fleet!"

"Well, you should also be careful."

The Aegis Gundam flew forward slowly. In order to prove that it was not a threat, it even put away the beam rifle. However... Orb's fleet did not relax its vigilance. All the weapon locks moved with the movement of the Aegis Gundam. Locking tightly to the Holy Shield Gundam.

"This is Team Sara, the independent mobile suit unit of the ZAFT army. We are protesting to Orb. Why do you, as a neutral country, protect the Earth United warships from entering?" Aslan opened the public channel and issued an inquiry to Orb's fleet.

Soon, the Orb fleet responded.

"This is the Orb Second Fleet, a battleship belonging to the Atlantic Federation. The Archangel received a commission from our country's dignitaries to escort the dignitaries back to Orb. An agreement was signed with the Atlantic Federation a month ago, and all agreements are in place. document."

"What!?"
