Although that person did not carry any dangerous items, being in such a place and looking around nervously was enough to raise suspicion.
"Do you know who that person is?"
While operating, He Kui locked onto someone outside the screen and asked Ailina.
"Um, I don't know."
After observing the figure for a while, the girl replied.
"Is that person a problem?"
"Not too sure."
He Kui shook his head.
"Ailina, just treat it as me asking casually."
Even though he said that, He Kui still focused Shin's target on that person.
Naturally, He Kui's Little Bird followed the individual after he fled the scene.
He believed that no matter how far the person ran, he could not escape the range of his Little Bird.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before He Kui made a discovery.
He saw that the person seemed to be messaging someone, and He Kui's controlled Little Bird quietly approached the boy in a corner of the corridor.
"Mission canceled, there are Aegis MS present on site, MS is in standby mode, repeat, mission canceled."
The person said nervously.
It was clear that he did not expect Aegis to arrive with their MS, and they didn't even get out of their MS for the installation.
This completely thwarted his plans.
As for what the plan was, aside from blowing things up, Blue Cosmos didn't have much new to offer.
He Kui frowned slightly, indicating that their current espionage activities meant they couldn't spare any resources to deal with this situation.
After all, the main battlefield in Alaska was no joke.
The strength of four Mobile Suits was enough to suppress their three machines.
Moreover, Athrun and the others were still in the process of growing.
Even if the three on the opposite side had an advantage, they definitely couldn't kill them.
And to create the ultimate weapon to buy time and divert the Atlantic Federation's attention elsewhere, Alaska would surely put a lot of pressure on the Atlantic Federation.
Just as He Kui was quietly adding the opponent to his blacklist, preparing to catch a big fish to exchange for some pocket money with the president, on the other side, near Canada, the Joule team was quietly moving.
The configuration of the Joule team was quite simple: originally Freedom Gundam plus Strike and three fully equipped GAT-X piloted by Red Uniforms.
With all Red Uniforms and two Elite Red Coats, this team was undoubtedly one of the most powerful teams within ZAFT.
Especially now that Creuset had left.
And even more so now, Strike had been upgraded to a nuclear-powered Gundam named Liberator, which was like adding wings to Dearka.
"This time our goal is to destroy the frontline supply base while Zala's team diverts attention. There is no light shield protection, so you can test this weapon to your heart's content."
Yzak said coldly.
This coldness was not directed at Dearka, but rather reflected the seriousness of the mission.
As the captain, Yzak had gradually grown under various pressures and responsibilities, becoming someone who could stand on his own.
"I understand."
In contrast, Dearka's response was rather weak.
After all, his old comrades had all upgraded to new Mobile Suits, and even Nicol had gotten that cool and fast Z-Gundam.
And what about him? He was still in Strike.
Well, that was before; now he was in Liberator.
A second-hand machine from He Kui.
It felt very strange, as the concept was about man-machine integration.
But if the machine had already been integrated by someone else before he got to it, it felt quite awkward.
Of course, no one cared about Dearka's awkwardness; after all, this was war.
Moreover, Liberator was a powerful nuclear machine.
Its output was not inferior to Freedom, the only difference being that its Mobile Suit armament was not as rich and it lacked the Voiture Lumiere Wings, making it less agile.
But now, with the addition of a Backpack, Liberator was different.
Although the power was still not high, its firepower was the strongest among the four machines.
"Are you ready?"
Yzak asked.
"Ready, I'm already in shooting range."
At this moment, the Backpack behind Liberator had shifted to the front.
The triangular turret structure automatically embedded itself into the ground.
This Backpack could not be used in the air due to gravity and various inertial forces.
The impact was too great, making it impossible to maintain the trajectory.
The only way was to create a triangular platform that firmly grasped the ground to minimize errors.
Of course, when shooting from a distance, it would be affected by the Coriolis force, which is the force generated by the Earth's rotation.
However, this would not significantly impact Beam Weapons; what mattered more was the dust in the atmosphere. Just like a reflective beam, if there was too much dust, it could affect the power and accuracy.
They had considered all of this.
"Target input complete."
Although there was still no visible target, only a forest, based on previous reconnaissance data, Dearka had completed the aiming at the base beyond visual range.
"Aiming complete, turret anchoring device activated."
With Dearka's operation, the turret made a crisp clicking sound.
Steel spikes on two sturdy legs penetrated the ground, reaching the rock layer.
"Friendly warning signal has been sent, launch countdown, three, two, one."
"Fire, begin."
As Dearka commanded, an orange-yellow dazzling light instantly filled everyone's vision. Even with the computer's automatic filtering, the beam was still bright and massive.
For a moment, its brightness even overshadowed the sun, instantly dimming the sky, while the muddy ground was scorched into an oval-shaped mark by the immense energy.
The trees along the way were completely destroyed, followed by a tremendous explosion in the distance.
The command post made of metal and the Dagger series, which had not yet completed their deployment preparations, were all struck by this powerful beam. In the explosion, a small part of the structure turned into a wisp of dust in the air, while most of the structure was affected by the explosion and high temperature, causing a second wave of casualties after the initial blast.
In an instant, the Atlantic Federation's base was littered with corpses, and the cries and pleas of countless people formed a desperate symphony.
"What kind of weapon is that!? Where's our command post?!"
At this moment, the surviving soldiers began to panic completely.
"The command post is gone."
"We surrender!"
Soon, someone suggested.
At least surrendering meant they wouldn't die.
"The inspection team is still ahead!"
Despair and helpless resentment filled the base.
It seemed that aside from going to their deaths, there was no other outcome waiting for them.
"This Destroyer Rifle truly lives up to its name."
Nicol, who was still entangled in the air with the Z-Gundam in surfer mode against the black Raider's MA form, couldn't help but be distracted upon seeing this power, glancing at the hellish scene below with a hint of compassion in his eyes.
"Focus."
After Justice's small aircraft helped Z-Gundam block the Raider's heavy hammer, Athrun said.
"I'm sorry."
Nicol quickly regained his focus upon hearing this.
"Hit confirmed, quickly switch, we'll go up to support."
Yzak said as he turned to look at the Liberator behind him.
This shot lasted only a second; at this moment, the turret was completely destroyed and scattered, w
hile two of the GAT-X nearby opened the boxes they had carried.
A brand new ISWP Backpack, similar to Strike, appeared among them.
"Let's get started!"
After Dearka quickly switched the Backpack, the Joule team charged forward together.
