Gundam:Super G Universe System Chapter 403: Kite When You Can, Don’t Fight Head-On

Since Reid intervened in the direct confrontation between OZ and White Fang, the casualty numbers on both sides began to skyrocket.

Reality wasn't like the ani. In the original ani, nearly ten thousand Mobile Suits from both sides clashed in formation and fought for at least an hour. Yet, by the ti Treize dueled Chang Wufei, OZ—whose Mobile Suits were all manned—had only lost 105 personnel, while White Fang, whose forces consisted entirely of Mobile Dolls, had strangely lost 82.

Let's not dwell on how Lady Une, who belonged to OZ, knew White Fang's casualty numbers. In any case, if the battle really had such low casualties, it would have been nothing more than child's play.

Were Space Leos and Virgo IIs even on the sa level? Fighting for over an hour and only losing 105 units? Even if every OZ soldier were a Gundam pilot on par with the Gundam Pilots of Operation teor, Leos fighting Virgo IIs couldn't have sustained such minimal losses for so long.

It couldn't be that a large portion of the OZ Forces here were temporary hires, not counted in the casualty numbers, and only 105 of the actual OZ pilots died.

Moreover, White Fang's 82 casualties in the ani were likely due to the Eternal Peace crashing into the Libra Ship, since there were no personnel outside in the Mobile Dolls.

In short, the numbers reported in the ani were laughably absurd. In reality, before Reid intervened in the direct confrontation, OZ had already lost at least a thousand Mobile Suits.

After Reid and his forces entered the battlefield, OZ's casualties rose rapidly, and a section of the battlefield was cleared out by Reid's Mobile Suits.

This made both Treize and Milliardo restless. They felt that the act they were putting on had completely fallen apart. If the fighting continued like this, the world would beco a battlefield where two tigers fought, only for a bear from nowhere to swoop in and claim the prize.

Thus, both sides very tacitly began to stage a fake battle in earnest.

Milliardo ordered that 90% of the existing Virgo IIs outside surround this mysterious Mobile Suit Unit, with Dorothy Catalonia performing micro-control of the Virgo IIs via brainwaves. The remaining 10% were to stay close to the Libra Ship for defense.

Kangz Calamity, one of the main masterminds behind the main storyline in the W universe, actually had strong objections to this order. His goal was to avenge the deceased colony leader Heero Yuy (not the male protagonist of W) against Earth.

This die-hard, obsessive fan of Heero Yuy didn't care whether Reid's forces attacked both sides simultaneously.

Kangz Calamity could see that Reid's Mobile Suit Unit primarily targeted OZ, only counterattacking the Virgo IIs. Because of this, he had previously considered ordering the Virgo IIs to temporarily ignore this force.

However, the leader of White Fang was still Milliardo, and he wasn't completely powerless—the soldiers below still followed his orders.

Since Milliardo disagreed with ignoring the suddenly intervening mysterious force, Kangz Calamity couldn't force the issue.

Moreover, there was Dorothy Catalonia on the Libra Ship, whose stance was exceptionally ambiguous. As soone who could use the Zero System to quickly control Virgo IIs via brainwaves for micro-operations, she still had a say in the deploynt of the Virgo II forces.

Thus, when both Milliardo and Dorothy agreed to deal with this mysterious force first, Kangz Calamity had no choice but to go along with it.

As for OZ, it goes without saying that the OZ Forces here follow Treize's lead. Whoever Treize says to fight, they fight.

Moreover, the mysterious unit's targeting of OZ is blatantly obvious, so naturally no one objects to prioritizing the elimination of this disruptive force.

Tallgeese II and Gundam Epyon began leading their respective large units to encircle Reid's squad. Hoshino Ruri, who could observe the entire battlefield from the rear, naturally notified Reid imdiately.

"Reid, both the OZ and White Fang large units appear to be moving to encircle you."

Upon hearing this, Reid imdiately issued an order in the squad channel.

"Everyone, form a Guerrilla Artillery Formation behind . We'll withdraw to the outskirts of the battlefield first."

Reid has always valued his life in battle. He wouldn't beco arrogant just because his side had strong individual combat capabilities. Nor would he feel it's shaful for soone of his status to be forced to retreat by a bunch of grunts, stubbornly refusing to withdraw and instead choosing to use various burst modes to break through enemy lines.

In Reid's view, if the enemy is surrounding you, why fight head-on? Is it because you think your Mobile Suit is too dirty and you're preparing for a Beam bath?

But isn't the Virgo II's Beam bath a bit too intense? It would scrub your bones clean away.

As for the others on Reid's side, except for Ange who is not a professional soldier, everyone else is well-versed in the ways of war. They naturally understand that on the battlefield, you should avoid direct confrontation whenever possible. So, they imdiately obeyed Reid's command, ford a Guerrilla Artillery Formation, and swiftly withdrew to the outskirts of the battlefield.

Treize and Milliardo were once again left speechless by this sight. They had encountered a slippery eel this ti, so elusive and hard to pin down.

The mobility and weapon range of Reid's side's Mobile Suits completely outclassed those of OZ and White Fang. The units from both sides couldn't catch up and couldn't hit them.

Reid, who had now switched to Kiting Tactics, still adhered to the principle of focusing fire on the OZ Forces.

Firstly, there was no need to capture the OZ units; if these Mobile Suits weren't shot down, they would co to attack him.

Secondly, it's precisely because the Space Leos don't have Circular Magnetic Defense Shields. Sotis, a single Magnum shot could pierce through three or four of them. Isn't that much more satisfying than pounding away at the Virgo II's turtle shell?

Thus, a comical scene unfolded on the battlefield.

Since Treize and Milliardo couldn't truly cooperate to implent a tactic where Virgo IIs tank damage at the front while Space Leos perform large-scale flanking maneuvers, this led to the Space Leo units and Virgo II units forming two distinct armies, maintaining a certain distance between them.

Additionally, the Space Leos were equipped with a cylindrical space booster on their backs, giving them slightly higher straight-line speed than the Virgo IIs. As the pursuit distance for Reid's squad lengthened, it gradually turned into a situation where the fragile Space Leo units were in front, with the Virgo II units trailing behind.

The most troubleso part was that as the MS Units were drawn away, the original frontline battlefield beca awkward.

A massive number of Leo Motherships began facing off against the Libra Ship itself. It seed the battle was about to enter a phase of Mothership-to-Mothership bombardnt.

If it ca to Mothership-to-Mothership bombardnt, the OZ Forces would be in trouble.

The Leo Mothership is an excellent Mobile Suit Space Carrier. It's not large in size, has simple manufacturing processes, is cheap to mass-produce, and has a considerable carrying capacity.

But all these advantages co at the cost of the Mothership's own combat capability.

The Leo Mothership is not designed as a combat Mothership. Therefore, its weapons are limited to a few missile launchers and close-defense machine cannons.

Now, even though it's hundreds of Leo Motherships against one Libra Ship...

However, given the firepower of the Leo Motherships, their missiles would easily be intercepted by the Libra Ship, while their close-defense machine cannons would be ineffective.

As for the Libra Ship, even if its main cannon could not fire, the densely packed beam cannons on its hull could effortlessly handle motherships like the Leo Motherships, which were practically transport vessels.

So when Kangz Calamity noticed that the MS Unit on the front lines had almost completely fled, he imdiately ordered the Libra Ship to advance. With only a few hundred Leo Motherships opposing them, they could sink them even by ramming.

With the motherships in crisis, the Space Leo units pursuing Reid's MS Squad naturally had to return to assist.

Thus, the situation reversed again, with Reid's squad now chasing the Space Leo units.

At this point, the Virgo II units of White Fang were in an awkward position.

Milliardo could not easily order the Virgo II units to charge forward and block the mysterious MS Unit to cover the retreat of the Space Leo units.

After all, once these Space Leo units withdrew, they would attack the Libra Ship. If the Virgo II units were held back by this mysterious MS Unit, White Fang's subordinates might well ask, "Your Majesty, why are you rebelling?"

Therefore, Milliardo had only one choice: to withdraw the Virgo II units back to the front lines as well, returning everything to the state before pursuing the mysterious unit, rendering their earlier efforts futile.

However, Treize soon found a way to break the deadlock.

The key was the mothership. To force this mysterious unit to stop running and engage in direct combat, there was no need to chase them—simply attack their mothership.

Currently, the ship suspected to be the Gran Chaos was slowly towing the Eternal Peace toward the Libra Ship.

According to Mike Howard and others who had evacuated from the Eternal Peace and taken refuge on the M02 Resource Satellite, the Eternal Peace had been seized by the enemy. However, its thrusters were completely damaged and unable to move quickly. If this unit intended to capture the Eternal Peace, their mothership would also be unable to move freely.

Thus, Treize imdiately ordered Lady Une to dispatch guerrilla units to attack the Gran Chaos, forcing this mysterious MS Unit to split its forces and return to defend it.

As soon as the OZ Forces took action, Milliardo instantly understood Treize's plan and imdiately sent a Virgo II unit to attack the Gran Chaos, signaling his intent to force this troubleso unit to quickly return to defend their mothership before deciding how to deal with them.

It must be said that Treize's approach was effective.

Although a few dozen Space Leos were unlikely to pose a serious threat to the Gran Chaos, Reid did not want to take the risk.

So Reid directly dispatched the Black Tri-Stars back to defend the mothership.

For Reid, the only real threat to the Gran Chaos ca from the Space Leos, and sending the Black Tri-Stars back was sufficient.

As for the Virgo II units, they wouldn't last much longer.

At this mont, the Blade Angel, Mystic Lightning, and Jet Black Hunter had successfully cloaked and drifted near the main cannon of the Libra Ship.

As the Jet Black Hunter fired GA Particle Cannons and plasma armor-piercing rockets from its high-energy long GA particle launcher and super rocket launcher in rapid succession, supplented by long-range fire from the Blade Angel Gundam and Mystic Lightning, a chain of explosions erupted at the main cannon of the Libra Ship.

It can only be said that fortunately, the main cannon had not been repaired due to damage and was not charged, so it didn't cause a chain explosion. Otherwise, it wouldn't be surprising if the Libra Ship had blown into four pieces on the spot.

However, with the main cannon destroyed and this being the central linking area, it was enough to trigger alarms throughout the entire Libra Ship.

Moreover, after completing the task of destroying the main cannon, Xia Yulan and Belfgang, too lazy to look for doors, began using the Blade Angel Gundam and the Mystic Lightning's greatswords to cut through the Libra's outer armor, preparing to carve a direct path into the interior.

anwhile, Neil operated the Jet Black Hunter to start picking off the surrounding defense turrets and clearing out scattered Virgo II escorts to avoid disturbing the other two as they "opened the door."

The Libra's outer armor was thick, but it was no match for the Blade Angel Gundam and the Mystic Lightning. In less than a minute, the two Mobile Suits had torn open an entry passage into the ship's interior and found a spacious corridor wide enough for two MS to pass through.

Once inside the Libra Ship, it beca the domain of the two close-combat machines, the Blade Angel and the Mystic Lightning.

After locating a terminal connection point in the corridor, the Jet Black Hunter began acting as a signal relay station. With the Blade Angel and the Mystic Lightning blocking both ends of the corridor, in such narrow terrain, these two Mobile Suits held their ground against overwhelming odds. Facing at most two Virgo IIs at a ti, no matter how many ca, they weren't enough for the two machines to cut down.

As for the Libra Ship's system defenses, they weren't much better than those of the Eternal Peace.

After Hoshino Ruri infiltrated the system, before the server personnel could resort to drastic asures by physically severing all module servers, she first located the control system for the Mobile Dolls. Then, Hoshino Ruri couldn't be bothered to add any whitelists; she directly issued a command for all Mobile Suits to stand by in place, overloaded the server transforrs, and outright burned out the servers controlling the Mobile Dolls.

However, this operation was particularly harsh on Dorothy Catalonia. When the system was infiltrated, she was still wearing her helt, using the Zero System to micro-manage Virgo IIs in combat.

It would have been better if Hoshino Ruri had simply cut off her control permissions—at least that wouldn't have caused her any physical harm.

But overloading the server transforrs subsequently caused Dorothy Catalonia's Zero System headgear to overload as well. Dorothy Catalonia instantly experienced a wave of electrotherapy directed at her brain.

With such a brutal electric shock to the brain, Dorothy Catalonia let out a scream and collapsed on the spot.

Frankly, being electrocuted like that, imdiate brain death would be normal.

Even if she survived afterward, having her cerebral cortex directly struck by electric current during psychic control, mory loss would be the least of it. ntal derangent or even becoming a vegetable wouldn't be surprising.

But now, certainly no one would pay attention to Dorothy Catalonia, because as soon as Reid heard that Hoshino Ruri had issued a standby command to all Virgo IIs and then destroyed the control servers, he imdiately felt the Libra Ship no longer needed to exist.

However, destroying the Libra Ship couldn't be done with just the Blade Angel Gundam, Mystic Lightning, and Jet Black Hunter.

As a super battleship with a total length of 3,500 ters and a height of 1,500 ters, it had sufficient internal space, so there were no bombs buried beneath the bridge capable of destroying the entire ship.

rely destroying the bridge wouldn't even render the ship completely immobile.

The ship's bridge is only the main control; in fact, each of the four diamond-shaped sections has its own sub-control console.

After a brief consideration, Reid gave the order:

"Liuli, search for the internal structural diagram of the Libra Ship and transmit it to Yulan and the others. If possible, seize control of the gate module.

The Blade Angel Gundam, Mystic Lightning, and Jet Black Hunter will continue their internal destruction, but wait until Liuli provides the structural diagram before launching large-scale operations. Accidentally hitting the ammunition depot would be a fatal mistake.

Everyone else, shift your attack targets. We'll first destroy all the thrusters of the Libra Ship, then slowly dismantle this behemoth."
