Chapter 146 Elite Enemy
The total number of these machines is already more than a dozen, but this number is not the maximum number of ships on the Archangel. After the high-end mass-produced machines flew out of the Archangel, the enemy's MS number has exceeded 20, all of which are powerful mass-produced versions that only elites can use.
The subsequent machines that flew out of the Black Archangel made Xiao Yun realize that the problem seemed to be even more serious. There was not only one machine of the same type as the Forbidden Machine. The machines that can be called Gundam, plus the previous four, there were as many as six machines.
In addition to the Forbidden Blue and the Forbidden Air Assault, there was also a heavily armed version of the Black Forbidden, and a new Forbidden that looked lighter with only the chest part black and the rest painted dark green. The backpack looked smaller, much more streamlined, and more angular.
"This... is a bit ridiculous. Forget about the mass-produced machines. Where did all these Gundams come from and were they all stuffed into the Archangel? The key is where did so many pilots come from to drive these machines?"
Xiao Yun twisted his neck, but he was not worried but felt a little fresh. The appearance of the Archangel was not surprising, but the fact that the Archangel gathered so many machines that were difficult to deal with at first glance was even more surprising.
But Xiao Yun really had to take the blame. The foundation of the Earth Federation, especially the Atlantic Federation, was definitely not that simple. Even if Xiao Yun raided and captured the Enhanced Human Research Institute, and even had people snatch these machines from the Atlantic Federation, it would not hurt the Atlantic Federation at all.
The three machines of Disaster, Forbidden and Robbery that fell into Xiao Yun's hands were not prototypes. Even if the finished products were snatched away by Xiao Yun, it would not matter if the Atlantic Federation built more with its capital.
Without the Enhanced Human, there are still the Combat Adjusters of the Sosis series that can be used, and many special training soldiers have long been brainwashed and joined the Phantom Pain Force. With the huge population advantage of the Earth Federation, how could it be impossible not to find some people with the talent to drive MS.
For example, Edward Scissorhands, Morgan the Moon Dog, and other excellent natural human pilots, it is not difficult to put together a few teams of this size.
Ever since Xiao Yun took the Archangel to Alaska, some people in the Atlantic Federation have truly seen the actual combat capabilities of the three machines, Robbery, Disaster, and Forbidden. The scene of a ship plus a few machines suppressing the forces of both the Union and ZAFT has been firmly remembered by some people.
Through this battle, the Atlantic Federation realized that the actual combat effect of these three machines was beyond expectations, and it was discovered that forming a special operations force with elite forces could have an absolute crushing effect in the battle. The Atlantic Federation discovered in advance that super pilots with super machines have the dominance to determine the direction of the battle.
Azrael also found that quantity cannot be the most important reason for victory under the suppression of absolute power.
Therefore, Azrael increased the development of elite MS, and formed a force of this scale with the Archangel, a ship of the same class as the Archangel.
For Azrael, money and resources are readily available. Although the Alaska battle has been over for a long time, there is only time to complete these six Gundams, so the strongest batch of machines that have been mass-produced can only be added to the Archangel.
The Archangel appeared in front of the Archangel today because Azrael wanted to determine what kind of power this temporary team could exert. The second purpose was to seize the two machines of Liberty and Justice equipped with neutron jammers.
In addition to Cruze, who has always maintained cooperation, Azrael's source of intelligence also has a powerful intelligence department. Even if Cruze does not give Azrael this information, he can get the fact that Liberty and Justice are equipped with anti-neutron jammers from other places.
Moreover, Cruze has not betrayed the intelligence cooperation with Azrael. After all, although he agreed to cooperate with Xiao Yun, Cruze is not really in the same mind with Xiao Yun. He has his own plans and his own goals. How could he completely change his position because of Xiao Yun's few words? Cooperating with Xiao Yun is just a matter of convenience, and it is just for himself to have an additional available option.
If Xiao Yun fails here, then he will automatically lose the possibility of cooperating with Cruze. With Cruze's personality, how can he put all his hopes on Xiao Yun? Naturally, he will make other preparations step by step.
The battle is about to start. The Archangel that came out of the colony satellite immediately started to fight with the Archangel. The battle between the two warships is actually not very interesting. The most important thing is that the Archangel does not have a captain who can compete with Maru, Baki Lulu.
The MS also started fighting. Olga, Shani, and Kroto were the first to drive their mobile suits. The Sword-equipped Disaster, who was carrying two giant swords but using the Flying Wings, followed steadily behind with a beam rifle and a shield.
Cong Yunhe's Blue Heretic did not join the battlefield from the front but flew away after the attack. It looked like he was running away, but in fact he was preparing to find an opportunity to kill the Archangel directly in his mercenary style.
The two machines of Liberty and Justice also attacked directly from the front, followed by Storm, Thunder, Mobius Zero Strike, and Flying Wing Fighter Black Heretic. In the blink of an eye, many MSs of both sides were in a melee.
After Xiao Yun saw the melee started, he also controlled the Golden Heretic to rush towards the battlefield. MS combat command was not his forte, so he did not intervene in the command.
But there were so many capable people on his side. After Baki Lulu scanned the situation of the entire battlefield, she quickly issued a simple order.
"Freedom, Justice, Assault, Thunder, Black Heretic to contain the enemy's mass-produced aircraft, Forbidden, Snatch, Flying Wing Disaster to intercept the enemy's same type of aircraft, Storm Cannon Disaster to provide remote support, Blue Heretic to find opportunities to attack enemy warships, Gold Heretic... Free Action."
Malu also asked in the communication channel at the same time: "Can the Eternal be dispatched?"
Andrew said in a deep voice: "Ten minutes, we were in a hurry to come out and consumed a lot of ammunition on the way here, but in the next battle, the Eternal will release all its ammunition to create opportunities for you."
