The Chapter Get Retranslated
Menelaos bridge
Lewis Halberton listened to his subordinate's battle report.
"Report, an unknown Mobile Suit has launched from the Archangel."
"What is it?"
"Unable to identify, there's no signal for this unit in the database."
Lewis Halberton looked at the Gundam Barbatos appearing on the screen, somewhat startled.
"Gundam? What's going on? Weren't there only five units planned?"
"Strike Gundam and Zero Type confirmed to have launched."
"Contact the Archangel!"
Lewis Halberton shouted urgently.
In less than a few seconds, communication with the Archangel was established. Lewis Halberton immediately posed his question.
"Captain Murrue Ramius, what's with that unit that launched first from your side? Is that a Gundam?"
Murrue had guessed that Lewis Halberton would contact her when Mikazuki Augus launched. She exhaled a breath and replied.
"Admiral, please don't delve too deeply into that unit. I can assure you, that unit is an ally."
"Ramius..."
At this moment, the report sounded again.
"Report! The unidentified Mobile Suit is engaging the Aegis (Shield), Blitz, and a newly joined ZAFT Military commander's CGUE."
"A commander's unit? Is it Rau Le Creuset? He actually joined the battle himself.
And it's 3-on-1, notify the Mobile Armor Unit for support..."
Murrue knew what Lewis Halberton's order would be when she heard the word "support." She quickly interrupted.
"Admiral, that unit doesn't need support. For him, our support would only be a hindrance. Just leave the Aegis and Blitz to him."
Lewis Halberton paused. He trusted his very capable student and subordinate.
"I understand. How are your descent preparations coming along?"
"Already completed. We're entering the descent orbit now."
"Good, we'll provide cover for you."
The Eighth Fleet provided cover for the Archangel as it entered its descent orbit.
On the other side, Mikazuki Augus had already begun battling the Aegis, Blitz, and a white one-eyed unit that had joined later.
Mikazuki Augus swept away a beam with a single strike, glanced at the three units in front of him, and muttered.
"Are they all here now?"
"Mikazuki, be careful. None of these three are simple."
Just as Orga Itsuka finished speaking, the cloaked Blitz appeared from behind. When its left arm's solid weapon claw raised and struck down, Gundam Barbatos spun and kicked Blitz away.
Mikazuki Augus didn't even glance at Blitz, saying indifferently.
"They're all about the same. Just destroy them all."
"He can react to a sneak attack from that distance? Is that person really human...?"
Rau Le Creuset's "human" included even Coordinators like themselves.
But soon, he began to implement the tactic he had specifically devised yesterday for Gundam Barbatos.
"Athrun Zala, Nicol Amalfi, you two attack him from the left and right. I'll attack from the front, maximizing the output of my Beam Saber."
"Understood!"
Yes, having three top-tier pilots control high-performance units to surround Gundam Barbatos was the tactic Rau Le Creuset had come up with.
Don't blame him for not thinking of anything else; in this kind of battlefield, this was the only way to fight Gundam Barbatos.
Fighting alone... unless Rau Le Creuset's brain was addled, which of the ace units had the upper hand when fighting alone?
Him? Athrun Zala? Nicol Amalfi? They were all utterly crushed, weren't they?
The three units: the CGUE charged towards Gundam Barbatos's front, while Aegis and Blitz attacked from Gundam Barbatos's left and right sides respectively. Blitz also activated its Mirage Colloid.
Mikazuki Augus narrowed his eyes and decisively controlled Gundam Barbatos to throw a boomerang from its right shoulder at the CGUE.
Immediately after, he brought up the smoothbore cannon, firing several shots into the seemingly empty space to the right.
The shells were set for heat-sensitive detonation. Due to the previous lesson, Nicol Amalfi had no choice but to slow down and detonate those shells.
While firing, Mikazuki Augus turned to face the Aegis on his right, directly slicing apart the Osiris the Sky Dragon's Beam Saber.
The Aegis barely dodged Mikazuki Augus's slash that cut through the beam, and inside the cockpit, Athrun Zala cursed silently.
"This monster's reaction speed is as terrifying as ever... he responds too quickly."
Rau Le Creuset shouted.
"Don't let your formation be broken! Don't forget, we're just decoys. As long as we pin down the wolf here, it's a victory!"
"Yes!"
"Captain, the Gamow..."
Rau Le Creuset's communication was interrupted by the Vesalius bridge.
"Hmm?"
Mikazuki Augus sensed something was wrong. His communication with the Fifth Unit was a dedicated line, and even if it wasn't, the distance from the Eighth Fleet seemed to be growing.
"This..."
"Mikazuki, a ZAFT Military warship has charged into the Eighth Fleet and is pursuing the Archangel. These three Mobile Suits want to draw you away from the Archangel."
Mikazuki Augus realized this even without Orga Itsuka's reminder, frowning slightly.
Gundam Barbatos ascended, raised its smoothbore cannon, and fired a barrage at the three pursuing Mobile Suits below. Then, no longer eager to fight, it quickly disengaged. Truth be told, Mikazuki Augus was confident he could destroy all three Mobile Suits.
But there was certainly no time for that now. The Gamow was clearly determined to desperately pursue the descending Archangel.
"Captain! The wolf..."
"Forget it, don't pursue. Let's return."
Nicol Amalfi said urgently.
"But, the Gamow..."
"It's too late. The Archangel has already begun its atmospheric entry. Even if your two units have the ability for single-unit atmospheric entry, you'd be sitting ducks on the ground with the remaining energy.
As for the Gamow... that was Salman's own decision as captain. It's nothing more than destruction."
Rau Le Creuset's subsequent words were somewhat somber, though it was unclear if it was genuine emotion or feigned sentiment.
