The Chapter get Retranslated
Just as Mikazuki was barely one or two kilometers away from catching up to the Vesalius,
the only remaining Ginn, wielding a rocket launcher, charged over and fired an anti-ship rocket at Mikazuki.
Gundam Barbatos didn't even turn its head, directly throwing the katana in its hand. The blade accurately struck the warhead, splitting the rocket in two, resulting in an explosion no smaller than a Mobile Suit's.
"Damn it!"
Ginn could only watch as Gundam Barbatos pursued the Vesalius. It wasn't that he didn't want to pursue, but Gundam Barbatos's speed was simply too fast.
Rau Le Creuset had already ordered the battleship to turn around and increase its distance from Gundam Barbatos when Ginn appeared, but he still underestimated Gundam Barbatos's performance.
Seeing his Nazca-class high-speed battleship, moving at full speed, being caught up to by a Mobile Suit, he once again felt a shock.
"What kind of joke is this? How can a Mobile Suit's propulsion speed be faster than a battleship's?"
The Captain looked at the monitor next to the handrail and said in a deep voice,
"Commander, the wolf is expected to catch up to us in two minutes. What should we do?"
"Fire! Don't stop. It doesn't matter if we use up all our ammunition. I refuse to believe he can maintain such high-mobility indefinitely."
However, it was useless. Even with the Vesalius firing all its ammunition, it didn't slow Gundam Barbatos down in the slightest. The barrage continued for nearly a minute and was still going.
This caused Rau Le Creuset in the bridge to lose his composure in front of his subordinates for the first time, punching the armrest of his chair.
"This monster... does he have no limits? Even a Coordinator couldn't do this."
"Commander! Athrun Zala is back!"
Just as Mikazuki was about to fire at the battleship ahead, an alarm sounded, and the Aegis Gundam in Mobile Armor mode rushed in from the side and grabbed Gundam Barbatos.
Grabbing Gundam Barbatos, it rapidly moved away from the Vesalius. Athrun Zala in the cockpit activated the Aegis Gundam's abdominal energy cannon.
"Mikazuki, don't try to brute force it. At this distance, even nanolaminate armor will take damage."
"I know."
Before Orga Itsuka reminded him, Mikazuki had already drawn the second katana from his back, cutting off one of the Aegis Gundam's mechanical claws that was gripping him, successfully breaking free from its control.
Athrun Zala saw Gundam Barbatos break free from his mechanical claw, but the reset energy cannon had already gathered its energy. It was too late to stop, so he aimed at the Archangel.
"Kira Yamato... don't blame me, this is war."
Mikazuki naturally noticed it too, clicked his tongue, and opened communications with the Archangel.
"Dodge quickly! He's targeting you!"
Mikazuki didn't need to remind her. Murrue Ramius also saw it on the screen and decisively ordered an evasion.
The Aegis Gundam's beam missed. Just as it was about to transform back into Mobile Suit mode to engage Mikazuki, the Vesalius sent a retreat communication.
"Retreat? Why?"
Rau Le Creuset said mercilessly,
"What do you mean 'why'? That Mobile Suit is a monster. You can't contend with it relying solely on one Ginn and your unadjusted Gundam.
Come back quickly, don't throw your life away. Although it's not a pretty sight, we must retreat and regroup with the Gamow before making any further plans."
"Uh... yes, Athrun Zala, returning to base."
Saying that, he piloted the Aegis Gundam and turned back to base. How could Mikazuki let them off so easily? He continued to pursue.
"Mikazuki..."
Orga Itsuka wanted to say something but said nothing, letting Mikazuki do as he pleased.
"Don't think you can get any closer, Wolf!"
Ginn charged over, blocking Gundam Barbatos's path. A red glow flashed in Mikazuki's eyes.
"Annoying."
Gundam Barbatos's body swayed, and before the Ginn pilot could react, the cockpit and the pilot inside were pierced by the katana.
"Thane!"
Athrun Zala's eyes widened in fury. A companion he had been laughing and talking with just before sortieing was killed in the blink of an eye... even after experiencing it several times, he still found it hard to accept.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, the Vesalius's main cannon fired another shot. In an instant, before people could react, they saw the beam engulf the Mobile Suit.
Murrue Ramius screamed,
"Mikazuki!"
Then she froze. On the screen, a wolf-like Mobile Suit burst out of the beam, grasping a largely burnt Ginn in front of it, then threw the wrecked Ginn aside and continued charging towards the battleship.
Inside Gundam Barbatos's cockpit, Orga Itsuka said,
"Mikazuki, stop. We're low on fuel, we can't catch them."
Mikazuki glanced at the Mobile Suit's status. The thruster fuel was almost depleted from the intense consumption. But he didn't stop there; instead, he raised his smoothbore cannon.
He fired off all the remaining ammunition with a series of bangs, one of which struck the Vesalius's left thruster, which had just recovered the Aegis Gundam.
Facing a damaged thruster, Rau Le Creuset remained unperturbed.
"Don't stop. That Mobile Suit must be almost out of energy. Use this chance to get away quickly."
Mikazuki pulled the trigger several times, only putting away the smoothbore cannon when he realized there was no more ammunition.
The crew of the Archangel also breathed a sigh of relief, especially Murrue Ramius, who slumped into her chair as if a great burden had been lifted.
"He scared me to death. Luckily, the thruster fuel ran out, otherwise, he would have kept going, wouldn't he? That guy... he's too reckless.
But to force the famous Creuset Team to retreat, it's quite unbelievable..."
Miriallia Haw reported,
"Gundam Barbatos is returning to base."
Seeing that Gundam Barbatos was indeed returning to them, Murrue Ramius composed herself, resuming her capable Captain's demeanor, and ordered,
"Recover Gundam Barbatos and leave this combat zone at maximum speed. Continue heading for Lunar Headquarters. We cannot let the Montgomery's sacrifice be in vain."
