Gundam Seed: Final Destination Chapter 700: : Battle of Paradise Island~
"This is the sky above the Paradise Island base! There are only about three hours left before the deadline for the reply proposed by Speaker Durandal—however, the joint military has not responded yet!"
Against an aerial map taken from above Iceland, the voice of a special correspondent is being broadcast around the world.
The large fleets on the sea are quietly waiting for an answer, and the combined fleet on the sea is also ready to go.
"...If no response is received before the deadline, Speaker Durandal will become the supreme commander of the front line and personally command Zaft and the anti-LOGOS allied forces to attack the Paradise Island base immediately."
"The Paradise Island base is a stronghold of the coalition army. The base is huge and famous for its military factories. If this battle really starts, it can be foreseen that the offensives of the two sides will be very fierce..."
At this point in the reporter's broadcast, the camera turned to the land, focusing on the huge base facilities lined up with large and small buildings.
For more than an hour, this scene has been repeatedly played on TV.
However, this time, the camera captured the changes in the land.
The combined fleet formed a defensive line facing the sea, shooting out rows of objects that dragged white smoke into the sky.
Almost at the same time, Barto's cry sounded on the Minerva.
"The enemy fires missiles!"
The air on the bridge froze instantly.
"What—?"
Arthur stared at the screen and yelled out in horror.
Even Durandal's face changed drastically, and he asked "What did you say" in disbelief.
The fleet deployed on the ocean surface launched anti-aircraft artillery fire later, and the lines of fire immediately intercepted each other in the air, but those unprepared ships became the first wave of land barrage targets.
I saw the missiles slamming fiercely at the ships that had no time to respond, blasting out high pillars of fire, and before these people even grasped the situation, they saw countless light spots rising from the direction of the land.
"The MS and MA fleets are approaching! The attack has begun!"
Immediately, a group of menacing fighter jets appeared on the screen.
Compared to the anti-LOGOS allies who were honestly waiting for an answer, the United launched an offensive without saying a word.
Thalia gritted her teeth.
It's all because I'm too stupid. I didn't expect the opponent to play cards so unreasonably, and I didn't expect the enemy to be someone who couldn't communicate with words!
"How could such a thing happen—that **** Jibril!"
Durandal couldn't help cursing.
The general on the side interrupted anxiously and asked: "Speaker, this way...!"
"Okay, I know."
A cold light appeared in Durandal's eyes.
He shouted orders to the people who were still stunned: "The situation is compelling! We will start fighting immediately!"
The bridge immediately became busy.
In addition to issuing orders to each unit, the general did not forget to tell the correspondent: "Ask the airborne landing force to prepare for dispatch!"
The upper echelons of ZAFT and the anti-LOGOS are finally operating.
It is a pity that due to the sudden pre-emptive attack, many terminal combat units fell off or even lost contact in the chaos, making it take more time for the order to arrive.
Slowing down this step will inevitably greatly affect the situation of the battle.
"Issuing Red Alert! Prepare for the general battle!"
Thalia gave her orders as well.
She stared at the large group of enemy planes approaching from the sea, unable to hide her anxious eyes.
"A red alert is issued! A red alert is issued! Drivers please stand by in the landline!"
Inside the ship where the alarm was ringing, Thalia was so shocked that she forgot to breathe, because the huge light on the screen spread so fiercely that it almost made her retinas burn.
When the flash of light faded away, there was an abrupt big hole in the formation of the fleet, which was like a fortified wall.
Witnessing the disappearance of dozens of ships in an instant, the air on the bridge seemed to be drained at the same time, and no one made a sound.
"This is too...!"
Durandal's thin lips trembled.
"That's...!"
Thalia looked forward and found a group of shadows moving rapidly on the sea surface, and she was shocked again.
The devil in Berlin—it's that large mobile suit!
Why not just one?
Just thinking this way, Barto, who read the heat pattern, cried out at the same time:
"Ten aircraft of the same type have been found!"
Thalia shuddered.
Arthur yelled in horror: "What, that thing has ten crosses?"
Recalling the overwhelming lethality she witnessed at that time, Thalia almost felt that she had seen it before her eyes.
Ten Destroyer Gundams flew out from the base.
The conflict thirteen high-energy guns were activated, and twenty beams comparable to the main guns of a battleship crossed the sea.
In an instant, the tsunami rolled and the flames shot into the sky.
The battle officially begins.
The surviving warships that crusade against the LOGOS coalition forces immediately dispatched MS troops to launch an assault.
Many crimson light spots appeared high in the sky, gradually getting closer and bigger.
At this time, the Nibelungen command room also monitored this scene.
"There is an airborne bag of the ZAFT army directly above! Deploy on the path 26 to 31."
When the operator reported in this way, the airborne capsules that fell from the sky like countless meteors had already spread out, threatening to surround the base.
However, no one in the command room was panicked by this, only the commander calmly ordered: "Get ready to launch!"
Gabriel watched all this in the glass-curtained VIP room, with a leisurely smile on his face.
"Whether it is impeachment or ideal, everything must be victorious to be meaningful."
The group of Destroyer Gundams on the screen was wreaking havoc without restraint. He squinted his eyes and boasted: "From ancient times to the order, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit."
If others want to call him mean or cowardly, let them call him! Look at the stupid hypocrite lying in the coffin, and the cowardly person living in the world, of course the latter is much better.
As long as he can win in the competition, he can defeat all criticisms, and no one dares to criticize him anymore. After all, justice in this world is not all on the side of the winner.
In the back, Prea, who had been standing guard in the room, silently enjoyed Jibril's performance.
The body that exploded all the time on the screen gradually made him smile.
"The countdown to the launch of the Nibelung begins!"
"The camouflage gate is open."
The snow mound outside the base suddenly moved, and the snow on the **** was shaken and slid down, raising a large amount of snow dust.
The hill is divided into two from the middle, and a mirror structure is exposed under the ground, like a hibernating giant waking up in the snow, opening his one eye to spy out.
The huge eyes slowly turned, bringing the capsule group from the sky into view.
"Irradiation angle 20 to 32! Ready to launch."
At this time, countless small capsules exploded, and Zaft's mobile suit emerged from them. The scene was like countless insects hatching from grasshopper cocoons.
After a while, it was covered in the sky.
However—
The order to kill was sounded at the headquarters.
"—Launch!"
The antenna in the center of the mirror emits a flash of light, which is repeatedly refracted on the curved mirror, and the light waves are quickly merged and irradiated straight to the sky.
The dish-shaped antenna angle can cover the entire area above the base, and it is also a wide-angle laser wave generator.
With a blink of the giant eye, the MS fleet covering the sky was immediately surrounded by a burst of white light.
Thalia and the others looked up at the sky without moving.
During the halo, every MS in the airborne fleet was engulfed, burned, and fell by the velvet at the same time, leaving countless white trails in the dark northern sky.
"This is...! How come!"
Arthur was at a loss for words, which made the sinking on the bridge even more icy.
"The airborne troops... all wiped out...!"
Barto's voice when reporting the situation was also trembling.
This is the reinforcement they relied on, a mobile firepower capable of turning the tide of the battle, but now it is completely wiped out in an instant.
Shocked and angry, Durandal's upright face was distorted, and he cursed in an unacceptable tone he had never used before: "There is such a thing...! Damn LOGOS! "
It's time to retreat...Thalia thought so.
First, we suffered a sudden pre-emptive attack, and our side has been shaken. If the airborne troops are deployed as planned, we can real-time rearrange the front.
However, this batch of reinforcements was completely wiped out by surprise. She could imagine that the friendly forces had completely lost their will to fight. Coupled with the few giant mobile weapons approaching, this already constituted a substantial defeat.
The United Volunteer Army in the rear is beginning to move around. Sooner or later, the move to escape from the front line will occur. It is better to retreat temporarily at this moment, and there is still a chance to revive the entire army.
But at this moment, a communication came from the MS in the hangar.
It's Ray Za Barel and Shin Asuka.
"Captain, I want to attack! Please order quickly!"
Zhen Asuka probably also saw that terrifying attack scene.
But he still asked for the attack order, his red eyes were burning with anger.
"We can no longer allow this to happen!"
"Wait a minute. Now—"
The word "retreat" flashed in Thalia's mind, and she wanted to press the real impulse first.
But I saw Durandal on the side leading deeply to the boy and others on the screen.
"Please."
Thalia suddenly turned her head to look, and found that Durandal also had a determined face.
It was immediately clear that he did not intend to retreat here.
Gritting her teeth, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Durandal continued to issue orders: "Fate, legend, divine will, savior, pulse, fire tiger... all MS troops on this ship are dispatched!"
Thalia is very displeased with the way Durandal treats the boys.
It's just that if you want to overturn the disadvantages in front of you and create such miracles, only the most cutting-edge mobile suits.
The Minerva's gates are activated.
Destiny Gundam, Divine Will Zaku, Legendary Gundam... all available combat forces have been thrown into the battlefield.
In the direction of the Lord Angel, Liberty Gundam also left the Lord Angel and flew towards the battlefield ahead.
Seeing this, the LOGOS allies in the rear also rushed up.
In the blink of an eye, Destiny Gundam and others of the vanguard came into contact with Destruction Gundam.
About ten minutes later.
Presumably their hard work played a role, and the situation of the battle suddenly turned around.
The ZAFT army and allied mobile suits, which were originally in decline, rushed into the enemy's formation with them.
The sea fleet also launched intensive bombardment to block the enemy's defense line.
In the sea, the joint army's underwater MS Abyss Forbidden and Exiu, Geogren and other aircrafts were in hand-to-hand combat. The several Exiu that took the lead in suppressing the enemy's situation had successfully landed and began to advance towards the base.
At the same time, Dean and Barbie were still trying to contain the airspace of the base, which of course became the target of those giant fighters, and a giant fighter in the form of MA turned around, aiming the beam cannon on the upper edge of the body at the fighters in the air .
Before it fired, Lei's Legendary Gundam chopped off the gun barrel with a beam saber, and Luna Maria took advantage of the enemy plane's distraction by the blow to slash at its disc.
Seeing that the armor of the enemy plane was cracked, she immediately jumped aside, and then shot a beam of light into the gap.
The dome-shaped armor of the enemy plane was squeezed and bulged by the expanding velvet, and then exploded outward. The huge body over thirty meters instantly turned into a pillar of fire, causing a big explosion as it fell towards the base.
Aslan also relied on his knowledge of Destroyer Gundam to besiege Destroyer Gundam together with Kira.
In the blink of an eye, a Destruction Gundam followed suit.
Heine and Nigel shot it down one by one.
With the destruction of Destruction Gundam.
ZAFT's mobile suit unit started a large-scale landing operation with mobile suits from the anti-LOGOS coalition forces.
Under the attack of twelve elite airframes, LOGOS' defense line became fragile.
And at this moment, a submarine left the Paradise Island base and sank into the deep sea.
"Damn Durandal—I haven't lost to you yet! Don't be too happy!"
Thinking of the fair face of the enemy, Jibril in the back seat showed a ferocious face.
Praya, who escorted Jibril away, didn't say much after hearing the words, but silently took out the medicine he carried with him and paid it with his head up.
The LOGOS who lost Gabriel quickly stopped resisting.
So far, the battle of Paradise Island, which took three hours and fifty-six minutes, ended with the victory of ZAFT and the anti-LOGOS coalition forces.
However, because of Gabriel's successful escape, the crusade against LOGOS did not stop.
"—The battle seems to be over."
Hearing the operator relaying the communication from Earth, Andrew's eyes sharpened instantly.
On the side, Lux looked back with bated breath, and there was an ice-cold silence for the bridge of the Eternal.
"Result?"
Lacus asked solemnly.
The operator replied: "The union has surrendered."
"The Paradise Island base has fallen—"
Andrew sighed regretfully.
In today's battle, the two armies lost countless lives, and countless lives were lost in just a few hours. This alone makes people feel heavy.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard Lacus muttering to herself in a stiff tone: "Hurry up..."
The melancholy on her face was a little different, it seemed that there was more urgent sense of crisis.
Andrew noticed something was wrong, and asked aloud, "What's the matter, Lacus?"
"After the fall of the Paradise Island base, it will be Orb again!"
While Lux was speaking, she stroked the ring on her fingertips with a particularly firm expression: "No matter how much I pay, I will let the world full of bright red and singing come!"
"Lax..."
Andrew looked at the expression on Lux's face ~IndoMTL.com~ and felt a little complicated.
They have heard about Noel Cassia, but they really don't know how to comfort this strong princess.
Earth——
"Gabriel is missing?"
Hearing the news brought by Ray Za Barel, Zhen Asuka couldn't help shouting in the living room.
Aslan and the others also showed astonishment on their faces, apparently they only just learned the news.
Luna Maria on the side hurriedly asked: "Didn't you catch it...how could it be!"
Only Lei was as indifferent as usual: "I heard that before the base surrendered, he secretly escaped alone, leaving behind the other members of LOGOS—"
The offensive battle of the Paradise Island base ended with the victory of the ZAFT camp, and the Allied forces immediately occupied the land base and accepted the surrender of the generals and LOGOS members.
As soon as I heard that those people were detained, Ray Za Barel brought unexpected news.
For a moment, everyone was stunned and silent.
I thought this would end everything.
But now the biggest bad guy has run away.
"Why...then what should I do?"
Luna Maria asked a little angrily.
"I don't know. But if you can't catch him, you can't end it."
Speaking of this, Ray couldn't help but sighed with concern: "Just don't run away to some troublesome place—like Panama or Victoria."
His words surprised everyone.
Both Panama and Victoria are home to the United Spaceport.
If Jiji Brill extends his clutches to the universe, it will be dangerous.
