Boom!
A violent explosion erupted from the warship, thick smoke billowing as the wreckage slowly sank beneath the water.
"Fire!"
Watching the friendly ship beside them being sunk, the captain on the bridge of another Danilov-class Aegis ship remained calm and composed, his commanding voice ringing out clearly.
"Yes!"
The soldiers responded with loud, crisp replies, their fingers swiftly operating the consoles before them.
The ship's beam cannons aimed at the Destiny Support Fighter in the sky, while the vertical launch systems opened, ejecting multiple missiles from their tubes. The missiles ignited mid-air, heading straight for their target. Even before the missiles, the beams from the ship's cannons had already surged toward the Destiny Support Fighter.
In the sky, inside the Genesis Gundam's cockpit, Felix watched the artillery fire from the sea targeting the Destiny Support Fighter and quickly manipulated the controls. The Destiny Support Fighter's wings adjusted their angle, and with the thrusters' push, it performed a nose-up flying maneuver, evading the beam attacks and readjusting its posture.
The Siren Beast Cannon began recharging.
"Evade!"
Seeing the Destiny Support Fighter's stance, the captain sensed danger, his expression changing as he urgently gave the order. The helmsman, hearing this, manipulated the rudder, steering the warship to port in an attempt to avoid the beam attack.
"It's no use, we can't avoid it!"
Operating the warship, the helmsman saw the thick beam and replied with a trembling voice, fear rising on his face.
The next moment, the thick beam instantly engulfed the warship's bridge. The entire bridge command system vanished without a trace.
Boom!
A violent explosion erupted around the vanished bridge.
The Destiny Support Fighter dove downward, its two Fortissimo Beam Cannons firing at close range. The warship's laminated armor was pierced through. Explosions tore through the hull, splitting the entire warship in half. The two severed sections uncontrollably sank beneath the sea.
Watching the sunk warship, Felix shifted his gaze forward and quickly operated the controls.
Multiple lock-on activated!
Targets on the Concentrated Target Observer were selected one by one. As Felix pulled the trigger, firepower erupted from the Whale Plasma Cluster Beam Cannon, Sailfish Railgun, and Sirius Beam Rifle.
Fierce firepower surged into the airspace ahead, instantly destroying over a dozen fighter craft.
After firing this volley, Felix issued an order over the comms.
"Hold them back, don't let them reinforce the breach. Heine, Doulens, Pratt, you three lead your squads and follow me. We'll break through the breach, encircle the enemies in this airspace, and wipe them out!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Felix gripped the control sticks with both hands, pressed the pedals firmly, and piloted the Genesis Gundam to charge ahead. In front of the Genesis Gundam was the Destiny Support Fighter, followed by the MS squads led by Heine, Doulens, and Pratt!
His finger pulled the trigger!
The two Fortissimo Beam Cannons equipped on the Destiny Support Fighter fired.
The fighter attempting to maneuver was instantly pierced and exploded.
Pressing the button on the control stick, the weapon selection dial switched armaments while the other hand squeezed the firing trigger. The two Whale Plasma Cluster Beam Cannons mounted on the wings of the Genesis Gundam deployed, instantly unleashing two sandwiching beams.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four explosions erupted as wreckage fragments of the fighters plummeted toward the ocean.
Meanwhile, at the Panama Spaceport Defense Force Command Center
"Commander, the enemy has breached our first line of defense! ZAFT Forces are attempting to completely eliminate our frontline troops!"
A soldier reported with a grim expression and urgent tone as he observed the situation.
Pollard's face darkened as he issued the order.
"Order the first line of defense to retreat and merge with the second line! Hold the second defensive position at all costs!"
"Yes!"
The communications officer acknowledged before relaying Pollard's command to the frontline units.
Upon receiving the order, the first line of defense swiftly executed the retreat, withdrawing across air, sea, and underwater positions.
Observing the enemy's movements, Felix immediately commanded.
"Pursue them relentlessly!"
With that, Felix took the lead in the Genesis Gundam.
The two Sailfish Railguns deployed, electromagnetic rounds firing from their barrels.
Boom! Boom!
Two fighters were instantly shot down.
The Destiny Support Fighter dove toward a Danilov-class Aegis ship, revealing its Siren Beast Cannon.
A single shot fired, the thick beam piercing straight through the midsection of the warship.
Boom!
A violent explosion tore the vessel apart, splitting it into two halves that sank separately into the sea.
While the battle at Panama Spaceport raged intensely, the conflict in the Alaska region carried an unsettling aura.
"Pathetic! Utterly useless trash!"
A DINN pilot laughed arrogantly, wearing a smug grin as he assessed the situation.
His finger pulled the trigger, firing at a fighter ahead.
Boom!
The explosion turned the aircraft into fragments raining down toward the ocean.
After destroying the fighter, the pilot pushed the DINN forward, ruthlessly pursuing the Earth Alliance Forces.
Inside the cockpit of a white DINN in the skies
Creuset observed the unfolding battle with a smirk, inwardly roaring with laughter.
Hahahahaha!!!!!!
'Yes! Just like this! Keep charging forward! Never stop!'
After his silent laughter subsided, Creuset tightened his grip on the control stick. Not spotting Felix in the combat zone, a cold suspicion flickered in his eyes beneath the mask as he darkly pondered.
'That damned Patrick… What exactly is he hiding?'
While mentally cursing Patrick, Creuset maneuvered the white DINN to evade incoming fire. Raising its weapon, he targeted and destroyed the fighter attacking him.
Boom!
The fighter instantly exploded.
Having eliminated the threat, Creuset guided the white DINN through evasive maneuvers in the air.
Meanwhile, deep beneath the ocean surface
Aboard the flagship of the advancing ZAFT Forces...
The commander gazed at the screen before him and inquired of the adjutant beside him.
"What's the current situation?"
"The Earth Alliance Forces are still resisting tenaciously, but they continue to retreat step by step in the face of our assault."
Hearing this, the adjutant turned to the commander and provided a more detailed explanation.
Upon hearing the report, a hint of joy appeared on the commander's face.
"Excellent!"
He said with a smile, then turned to the adjutant and continued.
"Order the troops to maintain the intensity of the attack and strive to break into Josh-A Base as quickly as possible!"
The adjutant saluted and replied.
"Yes!"
Nodding at the adjutant, the commander fixed his gaze ahead and thought to himself.
'If only the Griffith Team were here, it would be even better.'
As he pondered, a sudden doubt arose in his mind.
'Where has the Chairman dispatched the Griffith Team?'
