The Chapter get Retranslated

Mikazuki Augus frowned, truly troublesome.

"If you stay here, you'll die faster. Let's gamble; if the bridge doesn't explode after we separate it, I'll take you back to the Archangel as fast as possible. Otherwise, you'll be killed by the ZAFT Military and die here."

"The Archangel..."

"Then, what about the people on this warship besides us?"

"...Can't take them."

Hearing this reply, Copeman let out a long breath and said sternly,

"No, I am the captain of this warship. I cannot abandon my crew. Please take Mr. Allster back to the Archangel and evacuate as quickly as possible."

George beside him was moved by these words.

"Copeman!"

Mikazuki Augus, who had intended to act forcefully, stopped his plan to separate the bridge after hearing Copeman's words. He frowned, looking at the people on the bridge.

Not only Copeman, but his soldiers also looked at Gundam Barbatos with firm expressions, their eyes filled with a spirit that would not abandon their comrades.

Just then, the Vesalius's main cannon secretly aimed at the warship. Mikazuki Augus, due to having a clone, didn't notice it.

A shot was fired, hitting the center of the Montgomery.

Mikazuki Augus's pupils constricted, and he hastily piloted his mobile suit away from the Vesalius.

Boom!

A grand fireworks display bloomed in Rau Le Creuset's eyes on the Vesalius's bridge. Rau Le Creuset, who had been gloomy, smiled again at this moment.

"Wolf, this time... I won."

Simultaneously, the crew of the Archangel were shaken by the explosion. The advance team that had rendezvoused with them... was wiped out.

There was no need to mention the escort ship; the only surviving GINN had been blown up by its rocket launcher.

Flay Allster went completely blank at the sight, fainting instantly and falling unconscious.

Mikazuki Augus's face on Gundam Barbatos became even gloomier. Orga Itsuka, who knew him well, understood that Mikazuki Augus was angry, very, very angry.

He was even angrier than Murrue Ramius, Lacus Clyne, and the others had seen back then. A strange aura appeared in the cockpit.

Mikazuki Augus let out a long, deep breath, the aura dissipated, and he said in a low voice,

"Hey, Orga Itsuka, can I just wipe all those guys out?"

"You're the leader, you decide, but don't overexert yourself, you understand? Don't overuse the Alaya-Vijnana System..."

"To deal with this kind of trash, I don't need to put anything at stake."

Mikazuki Augus dropped a sentence, his eyes sharpening. Gundam Barbatos's green eyes suddenly lit up, as if emitting an unheard wolf's howl.

The flames from its back thrusters suddenly intensified, rushing towards the Vesalius. Rau Le Creuset, who had been smiling triumphantly, saw Gundam Barbatos charging directly at his warship without a second thought, his eyes behind his mask almost bulging out.

He then laughed heartily,

"Enraged, are we? To charge straight in, how foolish.

All cannons aim at Wolf. Whether it's beam or live ammunition, focus fire on him. Whatever he is, he must be destroyed today."

"Understood, all weapons locked on Wolf."

On the Archangel, Murrue Ramius, with a grim expression, said to the CIC below,

"Notify Strike and Gundam Barbatos to return immediately, we're retreating."

However, no sooner had she spoken than Miriallia Haw cried out,

"Gundam Barbatos is charging towards the Nazca-class battleship!"

"Not only that, all enemy ship weapons are locked on Gundam Barbatos!"

Murrue Ramius's grim face instantly turned pale. She stood up abruptly, looking at the CIC in disbelief, unable to believe what she was hearing.

Natarle Badgiruel quickly shouted,

"Is he crazy? Tell him to come back!"

"No, he's cut off communications, but he said one thing before he did..."

"What was it?"

"Don't get in the way..."

Murrue Ramius sank back into her seat powerlessly, her eyes staring blankly at the universe ahead.

"Mikazuki Augus..."

Natarle Badgiruel urgently said,

"Can we see the screen over there?"

"Yes..."

The Archangel's top-mounted long-range monitor activated. On the main screen of the bridge, Gundam Barbatos appeared, holding a Katana in its left hand and the grip of a smoothbore cannon in its right.

Facing it, the Vesalius had two main cannons, two railguns, ten automatic defense turrets, and four missile launchers all aimed at Gundam Barbatos.

Murrue Ramius stood up again, involuntarily shouting,

"Mikazuki Augus! Come back!"

Facing the lock-on from numerous weapons, Gundam Barbatos's speed did not decrease. Mikazuki Augus's eyes were filled with cold indifference, his entire demeanor unusually calm.

But Orga Itsuka knew that this was Mikazuki Augus's terrifying aspect; he wouldn't be overwhelmed by anger. Mikazuki Augus had absolute confidence in whatever he did.

Sometimes, facing such a Mikazuki Augus, Orga Itsuka also felt a touch of fear.

Boom!

Under the gaze of the Archangel's crew, the Vesalius opened fire, unleashing a volley of missiles and beam attacks.

Mikazuki Augus's eyes scanned the incoming barrage without changing expression. He casually fired four shots from his smoothbore cannon, the projectiles set to explode at a distance, detonating the missile cluster with the shockwaves of the explosions.

Next came the two main cannons and railguns. Gundam Barbatos tilted its body, holding the Katana horizontally in front of it.

Whoosh!

After cleaving a beam from the main cannon, it rapidly dropped a short distance, dodging the remaining railguns, continuing its advance without any reduction in speed.

On the Archangel, Mu La Flaga, who had just arrived on the bridge, saw Gundam Barbatos's movements on the screen at first glance.

"Whoa, really? Charging a warship alone?"

Rau Le Creuset frowned, also startled by Mikazuki Augus's maneuver. He then waved his hand.

"Don't stop, keep focusing fire. That level of concentration cannot be maintained indefinitely. Where are Athrun Zala and Sentinel? Tell them to return for support immediately."
