Chapter 758: Battle on the Sea

When Xiao Ran brought the three of Stella into Orb, he didn't put on the mask he usually wore. A person wearing a mask walking on the street of Orb would attract more people's attention, but If Xiao Ran just walked on the street like this, he would inevitably be surrounded by crowds.

Although Xiao Ran has not appeared in Orb for two years in this world, photos of Xiao Ran can be seen everywhere, especially now that most civilians in Orb are against Kajiali, even if there is no photo, Xiao Ran will It is well known that there is no one in Aub who does not know Xiao Ran, not to mention a statue of Xiao Ran still stands on Aub's main island, if he really wants to go out without any cover, it won't be long before he comes back It will definitely spread to the whole Orb.

So Xiao Ran still found a mask and put it on his face. Compared with masks, masks are more common and extremely ordinary. They are often used for allergies, colds and illnesses, and they can also play the same role as masks. cover up.

When Xiao Ran and the four of them entered Orb, the news on the roadside had already broadcast the news that the United Army fleet had appeared outside Orb's territorial waters, and Aub had no notifications or alarms at the moment, making this Orb shrouded in a cloud of confusion. An atmosphere of dullness, worry and fear, more confusion about the present and the future, and awe of war, groups of people gathered in front of different billboards in the city of Orb, silently watching all the news in the news. Play everything.

And Xiao Ran also stood in the crowd watching all this with a mask that made it impossible for everyone to recognize him. Behind him stood Stella, Aulu and Sting like guards, but compared to Xiao Ran's Calm, the three of them seemed a little bored.

After listening to the voice in the news, Xiao Ran shook his head, turned around and said to the three of them: "You are free to move around, but remember not to cause trouble. It is ten o'clock in the morning, and we will meet here at ten o'clock in the evening."

Oulu nodded excitedly: "I know Neo, don't worry, we will definitely not cause trouble."

Xiao Ran nodded, rubbed Stella's hair, and said, "Follow Sting and Aulu and have a good rest. I'll pick you up in the evening."

"En." Stella also smiled brightly. After Xiao Ran nodded to the three of them, he turned around and left the place where at least a hundred people gathered. After walking out of the crowd, he looked around and finally chose a direction. Drive straight away.

Orb is an island country. The entire territory on the earth is composed of large and small islands, and the scope of territorial waters is also small, so you can stand on the coastline to witness what is happening on the sea at this time. Everything, but when Xiao Ran drove to the edge of the island, he found that the coastline had basically been completely blocked, and the Aubu news media, large and small, had already pulled out a long line along the blockade. This kind of news vans were parked everywhere, besides the news vans, there were also quite a few Orb nationals who drove to this place, making it difficult for Xiao Ran who was driving the car to get through.

You can only leave the car and continue on foot.

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded from the dense crowd, and then many people were heard shouting that a ship was coming out, and the fleet was dispatched.

Hearing the shouting sound in his ear, Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up, but apart from countless people gathered in a long row of dense crowd and the backs of their heads, it was really hard to see more on the coastline. situation, if you want to see clearly what is going on over there, you must either let yourself stand further inside, or let yourself stand higher. If you drill inside, then Xiao Ran can only have a second choice, to stand taller.

But when he looked up, he saw that the roofs of many nearby vehicles were also full of people, and the surrounding trees were almost full of people. Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and pushed away The person in the front got into the front of a news car with some difficulty, jumped up and stood on the roof of the car lightly with force on his hands.

The news van was already tall, and now Xiao Ran can stand tall and see far away, and can see everything happening on the sea at a glance. At this time, the Minerva has already come out of the port, followed by a fleet of Orb Navy , while in front is the United Army fleet that is already ready to intercept. Orb and the United Army fleet completely sandwiched the Minerva in the middle, and based on the current situation at this time, it is impossible to see the combined forces Does the fleet have any other preparations besides the general Wyndham arrangement?

Of course, Xiao Ran knew that the United side had invested in a new type of dual-purpose air-space vehicle in this battle, a large MA with the ability to block the Minerva's positron cannon. What Xiao Ran really cared about was whether there were any participants in the United side. will join the fight.

Looking around, although Xiao Ran arranged for the four of them to help the Minerva leave Orb, but at this time the four must have been hidden and have not shown up. The only thing that is certain is that the four are far away from the Minerva. It's definitely not too far away, but Xiao Ran is still a little unclear about where to hide, but the most likely thing is to hide under the sea.

When the Minerva was gradually forced out of the territorial waters by Obfon's fleet, a battle between a ZAFT warship and a combined fleet also began. In the original plot, Xiao Ran seemed to remember that this time the combination of combat power did not send too many troops. There are a lot of MS, but the situation in front of us is not like this. Not only did the alliance directly send out new types of MA, but also a lot of MS. Even if the number was not thirty, it must have exceeded twenty. Compared with Minerva The combat power of the three mobile suits that can only be used on the ship can be said to be several times higher.

Using several times the combat power to deal with three mobile suits on a battleship, this also seems to show the combined army's attitude towards the Minerva, which is bound to win. Taking Xiao Ran's current position from the battlefield, he can see the sky in the distance The light beams flying around in the center, the mobile suits that come and go, and the countless splashes caused by the shells, but judging from the current situation, the Minerva is already at an absolute disadvantage, because apart from the Pulse Gundam, the Minerva The two Zakukes on the Wa have no ability to fly at all, while the mobile suits sent by the joint party all have such capabilities. One side can only defend passively, while the other side has great strategic detours. The outcome of this battle also seems predictable.

And everything that followed was similar to what happened in Xiao Ran's memory. The Minerva used the Positron Cannon Townhouse on the Federation fleet, but in the end it was completely destroyed by the MA that didn't seem to have much effect at all. After blocking it, apart from bursting a burst of water mist that could not be dispersed for a long time, the coalition army did not even suffer any damage.

The participants that Xiao Ran expected might appear did not appear in the battle, and everything went on according to the established trajectory without much change. The bodies of the four also broke through the sea surface and flew into the sky from below the sea surface.

The four mechas are all G-series mechas. Although they are different from the G-series mechas in this world, and each has its own characteristics, you can still see that some of them belong to the characteristics of Strike Gundam, and these Each machine has the ability to fly, and immediately caused a lot of losses to the United MS as soon as it appeared on the stage, and the Impulse Gundam also seemed to go crazy, directly killing the MS with strong defense power, and rushed to the United On the battleship of the army.

The battle has continued until now, and it can be said that the victory of the Minerva has been established. The Impulse Gundam jumping on the Allied Army battleship has the possibility of free attack, and for the Allied Army mobile suits, not only must guard against sudden The four mechas that came out were also unable to attack the Impulse Gundam standing on the combined battleship.

All of a sudden, the United side lost a lot of warships. Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran wanted to leave, but just as he turned around, he heard the exclamation from the crowd again, which made him turn around again. Four or five mechas that had never appeared in this world fell from the sky, intercepted in front of the four mechas including Essie, and at the same time, the remaining manpower was attacking the Impulse Gundam that was being destroyed in the fleet. This scene also immediately made Xiao Ran He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Hmm, Airmaster Gundam, AGE Gundam 1 or two? Mass production or prototype? There are two unknown models, are they remodeled?" Xiao Ran frowned, and gently touched his chin : "By the way, even if they are all newcomers who entered with me, so many missions have passed now, and some potential participants will join the legion, or get special rewards, and gradually There will be more and more modified machines, high-definition machines, and it may become more and more difficult to easily obtain information from the appearance of the machine."

Xiao Ran squinted his eyes, looking at the two modified machines in the distance, his heart skipped a beat. The greater the extent of the transformation, the harder it is to identify it in the first place, so as to obtain the information belonging to that machine. Even if he couldn't tell the difference at the first time, it would be more difficult to obtain the information of the airframe. After all, although many airframes are similar in appearance, they are still very different inside.

Just like whether there is PS armor or not, it is impossible to distinguish in battle. If at a critical moment and you only have one chance to hit the opponent, the opponent can also hit you at this time. Is there any PS armor? The difference is very big.

For example, from the standpoint of I, it is also undetectable from the appearance. If it is a prototype machine, Xiao Ran naturally knows whether the opponent has such a defense method, but if it is a high-definition machine or a modified machine, it cannot be detected in the first place. A time difference will have an impact on the next battle.

It will also prevent Xiao Ran from directly judging the level of the body, and the role of the skill of scouting will gradually become apparent.

The two mechas that appeared today can be regarded as a wake-up call to Xiao Ran. In addition to the advantage of understanding the plot, this advantage of understanding the mecha will gradually decrease as the mission world continues. When the participants grow up, More or less, they will carry out a high degree of transformation on their bodies, so that they will eventually be transformed into bodies that are completely different from those produced in the world, and become new bodies with independent characteristics.

Because the distance is too far, Xiao Ran can see that it is the King of the Sky. The two AGEs are as high as Type 1 and it is already the limit to be sure that these three mechas are not more than C-class. It was difficult to determine the level at the first time, and the distance between the two mechatronics completely exceeded the scope of his detection skills.

This made Xiao Ran frowned slightly. He could only carefully observe the movements and performance of the two mechas to judge the level of the two mechas based on experience. If it is confirmed that they are B-level mechas, I am afraid that Li Ran will turn around immediately. Hurry back to the Lord Angel as soon as possible and drive your own body to fight, not for anything else but to protect these four newcomers who have just joined the legion.

But fortunately, the actions of those two unknown airframes did not reach the level of the B-machine airframes. Judging from Xiao Ran's current experience as a B-level pilot, it can be judged that one of the airframes can compete with the Impulse Gundam at this time. The fact that you come and go but you don't have the slightest advantage can explain everything. The two sides are still at about the same level. Even after the outbreak of the real bird, it is still slightly inferior, which can explain the strength of the other party. This also makes Xiao Ran slightly relaxed. Take a breath.

The targets of the participants who appeared suddenly did not seem to be on the Minerva, or they appeared too late, so they had no choice but to protect the remaining forces of the United Fleet as much as possible.

Appearing at this time has been unable to completely reverse the disadvantage caused by the Esche four and Impulse Gundam. The original combined fleet is now considered a big break, and the participants who appeared are also the same as the Esche four, Impulse Gundam and others Evenly matched, if Lunamaria and Lei's backup are counted, the current coalition army is still at a disadvantage.

If the battle really continues, even with the help of these few participants, the coalition forces will still not be able to defeat the Minerva. In addition, the other side will definitely be able to confirm the identities of the four participants of Essie, unless there is a main line In the direct conflict between the task and the side task, Xiao Ran estimated that the possibility of the other party finding an opportunity to leave would be greater than the possibility of continuing.

According to Xiao Ran's speculation, the possibility that the other party has a mission is very small. After all, if there is a mission, the general participants will definitely go out to fight at the first time in order to be safe, instead of choosing this time to show up. (to be continued ~^~)
