The Federation Fleet headed by Rakalam fired missiles again.

It's just that this time, amidst the loud bang, the missile swarm across the sky did not target the giant BETA mothership class that had already fallen in a pool of blood, but targeted a certain area west of Ornberry's central area as the first target. Target.

"Well, there is a residential area, but during the day, everyone has been evacuated."

"Yes! There shouldn't be anyone right there."

On the frontline of Ornberry's defense against the BETA invasion, the soldiers surrounding Rockby watched in astonishment as the missiles that illuminated the night sky landed one after another on the empty neighborhood.

"No! There's something there! Everyone pay attention! Except for the defense line we are defending now, the remaining movable area is the area from the defense line under our feet to the port!"

Rock Bay's eyes fluctuated a few times, as if he had thought of it.

Could it be because there is not only one giant zerg? !

The doubts were answered after diving headfirst into the deserted neighborhood amidst the rumble of the missile cluster.

The missile that tore through the land of the block at super high speed sank into the ground, and after a few seconds of silence, it suddenly exploded with its own terrifying power and terrifying killing.

"boom!"

It was an explosive roar like thunder from nine heavens, and a terrible shock like an earth dragon turning over.

In my ears, there was the rumbling explosion that drowned out all the hustle and bustle in the world.

In front of him was the wreckage of the building that had been blown up high, and the dust that soared into the sky.

Under the feet, there was the shock erupted from the ground that was overturned by the missile explosion.

"Earth penetrating missile!?"

Locke Bay grabbed the young soldier beside him, preventing the young soldier from being overturned by this wave of strong vibrations, and fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, Rock Bay's doubts were answered.

The Federation Fleet has indeed discovered the location of the giant Zerg.

There is not only one giant Zerg under Ornberry.

On the sea, Cauchy Gundam, who kept a tacit distance from the Federation Fleet headed by the Rakalam, was continuously monitoring the situation of Ornberry at this moment.

At the same time, Lei Mingkai also sent the situation monitored by Cauchy Gundam to the Heroic in the rear.

I believe that after seeing this news, Hathaway will definitely make a proper choice.

But right now, Lei Mingkai still needs to make the next decision by himself.

Rakalam, bridge.

All eyes were on the urban area that was torn apart by ground-penetrating missiles.

The tumbling smoke, the struggling burning flames, and the one slowly gushing out from the torn ground, with many scars on its body, even just stepped out of the surface that was blasted by the ground penetrating missile, and fell to the ground, BETA, who could no longer wake up, appeared on the screen, and there was a burst of cheers on the bridge.

The unknown is not scary.

The terrible thing is that when witnessing the unknown, it is impossible to tear off the **** veil of the unknown and witness its true face.

And now...

"All bullets hit! The killing effect is confirmed!"

The CIC immediately reported the kill report briefly.

"After being attacked by a ground-penetrating missile, the first coordinate collapsed on a large scale. It is very likely that there is a large-scale underground space."

"Various numbers of zerg troops appeared at the collapse. It is speculated that there is a large-scale zerg army in the collapsed underground space."

"Captain. Please instruct!"

The first mate waited for Brad's next instruction with a serious face.

Brad nodded slightly, sat down again, leaned back against the chair, and raised his right hand slightly.

"Adjust the attack plan. Temporarily organize the fleet. The underground strike force headed by the Rakalam, and the follow-up fire suppression force. The MS force will carry out the evaluation of Ao Enbei according to the evaluation effect after the fire strike. Eliminate the remnants of the Zerg forces inside."

"yes!"

The first officer immediately issued Brad's order.

Although the Federation Fleet headed by the Rakalam has made sufficient preparations, after the appearance of the mothership-class BETA, these preparations are obviously not enough.

"It seems that this time, are we going to rely on support from Mafty?"

Brad turned his head slightly, and looked to the right side of the main screen—there was where the intelligence map transmitted from Cosy Gundam was located.

first goal,

second goal,

even the third goal,

All are so clearly presented on the map.

Such accurate information made Brad feel a little suspicious.

This giant zerg, which invades the enemy's area by moving underground and deploying its forces in such a way, is something the Federation has never seen or guessed.

And Mafty, how did he know?

If Lei Mingkai knew about Brad's doubts at the moment, he might have smiled and said casually.

"This is just an intuition of new humans."

After all, it was also because Brad had never met Kiki.

Otherwise, this legendary captain who once worked with several famous pilots in the UC Era might see something special about Kiki.

certainly.

In the early stage, Brad was able to meet Kiki.

Right now, this is unattainable.

In the cockpit of Cosy Gundam, Qiqi, who gradually came to her senses, was carefully looking at the screen in front of her.

Qiqi also saw the effect of the federal fleet's attack just now.

She never thought that there would be a lot of BETA hidden in the location she could sense.

According to Lei Mingkai, apart from those BETAs struggling to escape from the gap in the underground space that collapsed in the explosion, there were more BETAs who were killed on the spot or buried deep underground.

Looking at the terrifying scene in front of her, Qiqi did not flinch, but instead ignited a fighting spirit.

It turned out that she could also do such a thing.

Although never personally pressed a trigger,

Although he has never personally piloted the machine and killed any enemies,

But now, Qiqi is able to influence the federal fleet through the information she feels, with the help of Lei Mingkai.

The BETA that perished in the flames and collapse is the representative of this moment.

"Qiqi, are there any new targets?"

Lei Mingkai's voice came from the front.

Qiqi raised her hand subconsciously and stroked the hair scattered on the side of her face, then said softly.

"No. Didn't feel anything. Just..."

"only?"

"Well, the one on the left seems to be a bit withdrawn."

"Really? I see."

Lei Mingkai paused and said again.

"Qiqi, you really are an outstanding girl."

"Huh? Excellent? Me?"

Qiqi was surprised at first, and then delighted.

"real?"

"Well. Indeed."

After receiving Lei Mingkai's clear answer, Qiqi couldn't help feeling a burst of joy.

She knew very well that Lei Mingkai knew her origin, her identity, and even her life.

This is not conjecture.

It was the feeling Qiqi really felt from Lei Mingkai.

Ever since she witnessed Lei Mingkai's eyes that could see through her whole life, Qiqi knew that she couldn't put on even the slightest disguise in front of Lei Mingkai.

"Qiqi. Will the communication be used?"

Just when Qiqi was delighted by Lei Mingkai's praise, Lei Mingkai gave Qiqi a new task.

"Huh? Mihexia taught me."

"Well, then, the contact with the Rakalam is up to you!"

"OK!"

The federal fleet's attack continued.

In addition to the targeted ground-penetrating missile attack, the BETA troops spreading in the city of Ornberry also suffered joint attacks from federal warships and mobile suits.

From the precariousness at the beginning to the steady progress later, Rock Bay and others have experienced a thrilling roller coaster ride.

"Let the injured partners go down to rest and heal!"

After Rock Bay put down the firearm in his hand that had already emptied its magazine, he gave an order casually.

Afterwards, Locke Bay looked ahead at the street strewn with corpses.

There, except for the scarred BETA, there is no corpse left by any human warrior.

The human warriors who could be found have all been dragged back by Locke Bay and the others.

This city is over.

The funny thing is,

The original intention of the city was to resist the tyranny of the Federation.

As a result, the city was never destroyed by the attack of the federal army, but was destroyed by the invasion of Zerg from outside the sky.

"The city is over."

—————

"The city is over."

Above the city engulfed in flames, many flying pedals patrolled the ruins of the city.

Standing on the flight pedal, the steel giant sometimes raises the beam rifle in his hand and shoots at the ruins of the city below, killing the remaining BETA troops, and sometimes controls the flight pedal under his feet, heading towards the central area of ​​the ruins fly away.

Because, in the central area of ​​the ruins of the city, a huge pothole was being displayed in front of everyone present.

More than ten hours ago, the predecessor of this huge pothole was the site where the Earth Federation would hold a meeting called Adelaide.

But now, more than ten hours later, this important meeting place ~lightnovelpub.net~ that should have been heavily guarded by the Earth Federation has turned into a huge pothole—swallowing dozens of officials from important departments of the Earth Federation, A huge pothole for advisors and staff.

It can be said that since Mafty started its activities, apart from the Earth Federation officials who died under Mafty's attack, the Earth Federation suffered the heaviest loss here—the city where the Adelaide Conference will be held soon.

There was a strange roar in the sky.

Like the roar of a giant beast in mythology,

It also seemed to be the roar of a terrifying giant beast born from the hands of humans.

"Captain Marcenas. The surrounding situation has been confirmed. Apart from a small number of Zerg remnants, there are no more threats."

In that roar, the Gundam named Penelope fell from the sky and stopped beside the flying pedal controlled by the pitch-black giant.

Looking at the deep and terrifying pothole below, Penelope Gundam's pilot Ryan Em instinctively turned his head to look at the dark figure on the right.

Before the start of this operation, Ren-Em, who was housed on Garuda-1 with his love machine Penelope Gundam, was given a confidential document.

On it, there happened to be information about the dark giant.

Unit 2 of RX-01,

An NT-only prototype called the Banshee.

Its pilot was named Liddy Marcellis.

At the same time, he is also the new captain of Ryan Aim after he was demoted.

"Ren, get ready! The next step is the federation, no, the human counterattack."

Sitting in the cockpit of the pitch-black giant, Liddy slowly withdrew his gaze from the deep pothole.

"This will be the first full-scale counterattack of human beings after waking up from the chaos since the beginning of the UC era!"
