Gundam SEED's Final Destination Chapter 700

"This is the sky above the Paradise Island base! There are only about three hours left until the reply deadline proposed by Speaker Durandal - however, the coalition military has not responded yet!"

Against a bird's-eye map from above Iceland, the voices of special correspondents are being broadcast around the world.

The large groups of fleets on the sea are quietly waiting for the echo, and the combined fleets on the sea are also ready to go.

"...If no response is received before the deadline, Speaker Durandal will become the supreme commander of the front line, personally directing Zaft and the anti-LOGOS allies, and immediately launch an attack on the Paradise Island base."

"Paradise Island Base is a major stronghold of the coalition army. The base is huge and famous for its military factories. If this battle really starts, it can be predicted that the offensive from both sides will be very intense..."

At this point in the report, the camera turned to the land, focusing on the huge base facilities with large and small buildings.

For more than an hour, this picture has been played repeatedly on TV.

This time, however, the camera caught the change on land.

The combined fleet that formed a defensive line facing the ocean shot out rows of objects that dragged white smoke into the sky.

Almost at the same time, Barto's cry rang out on the Minerva.

"The enemy launches missiles!"

The air on the bridge suddenly condensed.

"what-?"

Arthur stared at the screen and shouted in horror.

Even Durandal's face changed greatly, and he asked "what did you say" in disbelief.

The fleet deployed on the ocean surface fired anti-aircraft fire a little later, and the lines of fire immediately intercepted each other in the air, but those unprepared ships became the first target of the land barrage.

I saw the missiles violently rush towards the ship that was too late to respond, blasting a high column of fire, and before these people even grasped the situation, they saw countless spots of light rising from the direction of the land.

"The MS and MA fleets are approaching! The attack has begun!"

A menacing group of fighter jets appeared on the screen.

Compared to the anti-LOGOS allies who were honestly waiting for an answer, the United Nations launched the offensive without saying a word.

Thalia gritted her teeth.

It's because I was too stupid, I didn't expect the opponent to play cards so unreasonably, and I didn't even think that the enemy was someone who couldn't communicate with words!

"How could such a thing happen—that **** Gibrel!"

Durandal couldn't help cursing.

The general on the side interrupted anxiously and asked, "Speaker, this way...!"

"Ok, I know."

A gloomy light appeared in Durandal's eyes.

He shouted to the still stunned crowd: "Forced by the situation! Let's fight immediately!"

The bridge immediately became busy.

In addition to giving orders to each unit, the general did not forget to tell the correspondent: "Call the airborne landing troops to prepare for dispatch!"

Zaft and the upper layers of Anti-LOGOS finally started to operate.

Unfortunately, due to the sudden preemptive attack, many end combat units fell off or even lost contact in the chaos, making it take more time for the order to reach.

Taking this step slowly will inevitably greatly affect the battle situation.

"Issued a red alert! Prepare for the overall battle!"

Thalia also gave her order.

She stared at the large group of enemy planes approaching from the sea, unable to hide her anxiety.

"Issue a red alert! Issue a red alert! The driver, please stand by in the landline!"

Inside the alarming ship, Talia was so shocked that she forgot to breathe, because the giant light on the screen spread so fiercely that it almost made her retinas burn.

When the flash of light receded, I saw an abrupt big hole appeared in the fleet formation on the front line.

Witnessing the disappearance of dozens of ships in an instant, the air on the bridge seemed to be drained at the same time, and no one made a sound.

"This is too...!"

Durandal's thin lips trembled.

"That is…!"

Talia looked forward and found a group of shadows on the sea advancing rapidly, and she was shocked again.

The Devil of Berlin—it's that large MS!

Why not just one?

Just thinking so, Barto, who read the heat pattern, cried out at the same time:

"Ten identical machines were found!"

Thalia shivered all over.

Arthur shouted in horror, "What, that thing has a cross?"

Recalling the overwhelming lethality she witnessed at the time, Thalia almost felt like she saw it.

Ten Doom Gundams flew out of the base.

Conflict thirteen high-energy cannons were activated, and twenty beams comparable to the main cannons of battleships swept across the sea.

In an instant, the tsunami rolled, and the fire burst into the sky.

The battle officially begins.

The surviving battleships that defeated the LOGOS coalition immediately dispatched MS troops to launch an assault.

Many red light spots appeared in the sky, gradually getting closer and bigger.

At this time, the Nibelungen Command Room also monitored this scene.

"There's a Zaft Army airbag right above it! Deploy on paths 26 to 31."

When the operator reported this, the airborne capsules that had fallen from the sky like countless meteors had been scattered, and they had the potential to surround the base.

However, no one in the command room was panicked by this, only the commander calmly ordered: "Ready to launch!"

Jibril watched all this in the glass-curtained VIP room, and a leisurely smile appeared on his face.

"Whether it's an impeachment or an ideal, everything has to be won to make sense."

The Destruction Gundam group on the screen was carrying out unbridled destruction. He narrowed his eyes and boasted: "From ancient times to the decree, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit."

If others want to scold him as mean or cowardly, let them scold him! Look at the foolish hypocrite lying in the coffin, and the cowardly man who lives in the world, of course, the latter is much better.

As long as he can win the competition, he can defeat all the accusations, and no one dares to criticize him again. After all, justice in this world is not always on the side of the winner.

At the back, Preia, who had been standing guard in the room, silently admired Gibril's performance.

The body that exploded all the time on the screen made him smile gradually.

"The countdown to the Nibelungen launch begins!"

"The camouflage gate is open."

The snow mound outside the base suddenly moved, and the snow on the **** was shaken and slipped off, raising a large amount of snow dust.

The hill is divided into two parts from the middle, and a mirrored structure is exposed under the ground, like a giant hibernating in the snow waking up, opening his one eye to peep out.

The huge eyes slowly turned, bringing the capsule group from the sky into sight.

"Irradiation angle 20 to 32! Ready to launch."

At this moment, countless small capsules burst open, revealing Zaft's MS, as if countless insects hatched from the cocoon.

After a while, it covered the sky.

However-

The deadly command sounded at the headquarters.

"—launch!"

The antenna in the center of the mirror emits a flash of light, which is repeatedly refracted on the curved mirror surface.

The angle of the dish-shaped antenna can cover the whole area above the base, and it is also a wide-angle laser wave generator.

With the blink of a giant eye, the MS fleet that covered the air was immediately surrounded by a burst of white light.

Talia and the others looked up at the sky and didn't move.

In the halo, every MS in the airborne fleet was engulfed, burned, and dropped by the tinder at the same time, leaving countless white trails on the dark sky in the north.

"This is...! How could it be!"

Arthur was at a loss for words, making the sinking on the bridge even more icy.

"The airborne troops... all wiped out...!"

The voice of Barto reporting the situation was also trembling.

This was the reinforcements they relied on, the mobile firepower that was enough to turn the tide of the battle, but now it was all wiped out in an instant.

Shocked and angry, Durandal's upright face was also distorted, and he cursed in an unacceptable tone that he had never used before: "There is such a thing...! Damn LOGOS!"

It's time to retreat...Thalia thought.

First, we suffered a sudden preemptive attack, and our side has been shaken. If the airborne troops are deployed according to the predetermined plan, the front line can be reorganized in real time.

However, this group of reinforcements was completely destroyed by surprise. She could imagine that the friendly forces had completely lost their will to fight, and the fact that there were a few giant mobile weapons approaching her had already constituted a substantial defeat.

The Allied Volunteers in the rear are starting to move, and sooner or later they will escape from the front line. It is better to retreat temporarily at this moment, and there is still a chance to revive the entire army.

But at this moment, a communication came from the MS in the hangar.

It was Ray Za Barrell and Shin Asuka.

"Captain, I'm going to strike! Please hurry up and order!"

Shin Asuka probably also saw that terrifying attack scene.

But he still demanded the order to strike, his red eyes burning with anger.

"We can't allow this to happen again!"

"Wait. Now—"

The word "retreat" flashed through Talia's mind, and she wanted to press the real impulse first.

However, he saw Durandal on the side, deeply leading the boy and others on the screen.

"please."

Thalia suddenly turned her head to look, and found that Durandal was also determined.

It was immediately clear that he did not intend to retreat here.

Gritting her teeth, she swallowed the words she was about to say.

Durandal continued to issue orders: "Fate, Legend, Divine Will, Savior, Pulse, Fire Tiger... All MS units on this ship are dispatched!"

Thalia is very unacceptable to the way Durandal treats the teenagers.

However, to overturn the current disadvantage, only the most advanced MS can create such miracles.

The Minerva locks are activated.

Destiny Gundam, Divine Will Zaku, Legend Gundam...all the available combat power has been thrown into the battlefield.

In the direction of the main angel, the Freedom Gundam also left the main angel and flew towards the battlefield ahead.

Seeing this, the Allied forces in the rear to fight against LOGOS also rushed forward.

In the blink of an eye, the vanguard's Destiny Gundam and the others and the Destruction Gundam came into contact with each other.

About ten minutes later.

Thinking about it, their hard work played a role, and the situation suddenly turned around.

The Zaft Army and friendly MS, who were in decline, rushed into the enemy line with them.

The sea fleet also launched intensive artillery bombardment to cut off the enemy's defense lines.

In the sea, the allied army's underwater MS Abyss Forbidden and Ai Xiu, Georgern and other aircraft were in close combat. Several Ai Xiu who took the lead in suppressing the enemy's situation had successfully landed and began to advance towards the base.

At the same time, Dean and Barbie were still working hard to contain the airspace of the base, which of course became the target of those giant fighter jets. One of the giant fighter jets turned into an MA shape turned and pointed the beam cannon on the upper edge of the fuselage at the fighter jet group in the air.

Before it could be fired, the Legend of Thunder Gundam slashed the barrel with a beam saber, and Luna Maria slashed at its disc while the enemy plane was distracted by the blow.

Seeing that the armor of the enemy plane was broken, she immediately jumped aside, and then shot the beam into the crack.

The dome-shaped armor of the enemy plane was squeezed and bulged by the swollen velvet, and then exploded outward. The huge body of more than 30 meters instantly turned into a pillar of fire, causing a big explosion when it fell to the base.

Aslan also used his knowledge of Doom Gundam to besiege Doom Gundam with Kira.

In the blink of an eye, a Destruction Gundam followed suit.

Heine and Nigel shot it down one by one.

With the destruction of Doom Gundam.

Zaft's MS unit started a large-scale landing operation with the MS of the anti-LOGOS coalition.

Under the attack of twelve elite units, LOGOS' defense line became fragile.

At this moment, a submarine left the Paradise Island base and sank into the deep sea.

"Damn Durandal - I haven't lost to you yet! Don't be too happy too soon!"

Thinking of the fair face of the enemy, Jibril in the back seat showed a hideous look on his face.

Preia, who escorted Jibril away, didn't say much after hearing the words, just silently took out the medicine she carried with her head and paid it.

The LOGOS who lost Gibril quickly stopped resisting.

So far, the three hours and fifty-six minutes of the Battle of Paradise Island ended with the victory of Zaft and the anti-LOGOS coalition.

However, because of Gibril's successful separation, the crusade against LOGOS has not stopped.

"—The battle seems to be over."

Hearing the operator relaying the communication from Earth, Andrew's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Lux, who was on the side, looked back with bated breath, and a cold silence fell on the bridge of the Eternal.

"result?"

Lux asked with a solemn expression.

The operator replied, "The Union has surrendered."

"The Paradise Island base has fallen—"

Andrew sighed regretfully.

I don't know how many sacrifices the two armies have made in today's battle. Countless lives were lost in just a few hours. This alone makes people feel heavy.

But at this moment, she suddenly heard Lux ​​muttering to herself in a stiff tone: "Hurry up..."

The melancholy on her face was a little different, and she seemed to have a more urgent sense of crisis.

Andrew noticed the difference and asked aloud, "What's the matter, Lux?"

"After the fall of the Paradise Island base, it's Orb!"

As Lux spoke, the ring stroking her fingertips looked very firm: "No matter what the price is, I will let the world full of bright red and singing come!"

"Lux..."

Andrew looked at the expression on Lux's face, and his mood was a bit complicated.

They have heard about Noel Cassia, but they really don't know how to comfort this strong princess.

Earth-

"Gibrill disappeared?"

Hearing the news brought by Ray Za Barrell, Shin Asuka couldn't help but shouted in the saloon.

Aslan and the others were also stunned, apparently they just learned the news.

Luna Maria on the side hurriedly asked, "Didn't you catch it... How could it be!"

Only Lei was as indifferent as usual: "I heard that before the base surrendered, he sneaked away alone, leaving the other members of LOGOS behind—"

The battle for the Paradise Island base ended with the victory of the Zaft camp. The Allies immediately occupied the land base and accepted the surrender of the generals and LOGOS members.

Just after hearing that those people were being detained, Ray Za Barrell brought unexpected news.

For a while, everyone was dumbfounded.

I thought this would end everything.

But now the biggest bad guy has run away.

"Why... what should we do then?"

Luna Maria asked angrily.

"I don't know. But if you don't catch him, you won't be able to end it."

Speaking of this, Ray sighed with worry, "Just don't escape to another troublesome place - like Panama or Victoria."

His words shocked everyone.

Both Panama and Victoria are home to a combined spaceport.

If Gigibriel reaches out to the universe, it will be dangerous.
