Mobile Suit Wars: Starting with Gundam OO

Far away in Celestial Palace City, Yang Hui had just enjoyed a good sleep and was happily playing with Mileina when Linda rushed in to deliver some bad news.

"What? Ptolemaios has been discovered by the Human Reform League?" Yang Hui asked, frowning.

"Yes, it's expected to enter combat status in half an hour," Linda replied seriously, nodding. She had confidence in the Gundam, but the problem was that while Ptolemaios was well-armed, it was their first real battle, and its combat capabilities were hard to assess. Moreover, according to the information from VEDA, the Human Reform League had mobilized a significant amount of manpower and resources; just the new type of MS numbered in the dozens. Gundam Exia, Gundam Dynames, and Gundam Cherudim were still on Earth, leaving only Gundam Virtue and Gundam Kyrios in space.

"I'm sorry, Mileina, I can't play with you anymore," Yang Hui said as he left, apologizing to Mileina.

"It's okay, Uncle! You must rescue Aunt and drive the bad guys away!" Mileina encouraged.

"Yeah, Uncle will do that." Yang Hui smiled at Mileina before heading straight to the hangar of Gundam Rasiel, asking Linda, "What's the status of Gundam Rasiel?"

"Maintenance is complete and it's ready for deployment. The other armaments have been replaced, but only ten sets of the new GN-bits in shield and gun forms are ready, and there are only two swords; the rest are still unfinished."

"Bring them to me, along with the Auxiliary Thruster. I must reach Ptolemaios within half an hour," Yang Hui instructed Linda while adjusting the OS of Gundam Rasiel.

"Five minutes."

"Make it quick."

As Yang Hui adjusted the OS, a rare look of anxiety appeared on his face. The Into the Array squad and Sergei piloting Beiwei were involved, and Sergei was personally commanding the operation, which made it impossible for him not to feel anxious.

"Sergei, you bastard, your sister-in-law is still on the ship! If Sumeragi gets into trouble, even if you are my brother, I will make my sister-in-law a widow. Andrei will be without a father!"

...

Shifting the focus to Ptolemaios, Christina had handed over her work to Riqiti and went to grab a meal. Upon returning, she found that Riqiti had not noticed that the E detector had already detected anomalies.

"This is! The enemy's communication device!"

"What's wrong?"

"Idiot! The enemy has located our position!"

Without wasting any time, Christina immediately activated the ship's alarm, and everyone who was resting rushed to their respective positions.

"Ptolemaios, change course and head towards the orbital ring via the shortest route," Sumeragi ordered upon learning of the situation.

"Understood."

"Allelujah, Tieria, head to the hangar immediately. Gundam Virtue and Gundam Kyrios, take off at once and guard the flanks of Ptolemaios."

"Understood." X2

Upon learning that there were hundreds of thousands of communication devices scattered in the area, Sumeragi immediately guessed that this was the work of the Human Reform League. Other countries simply could not mobilize such vast resources. This was also one of the hypothetical crises Yang Hui had proposed before the plan began, and there was already a certain response strategy in place.

However, unlike the simulation training, there were only two Gundams in space, and the strongest combat force, Yang Hui, was still in Celestial Palace City. Although Sumeragi knew that Yang Hui would definitely rush over, it would still take time. Moreover, the simulation training had not included Into the Array and Beiwei, making the situation still urgent.

"Christina, what's the situation? Can we break out of the enemy's communication zone?"

"No, we can't break out."

"Head towards the power satellites on the orbital ring; due to electromagnetic waves, that area is a communication blind spot, where enemy and ally conditions are the same."

"Understood."

"Gundam Kyrios, Gundam Virtue, have launched and are standing by on either side of Ptolemaios."

"Ptolemaios, prepare for artillery combat. Rase, Riqiti, this is your first real battle; can you handle it?"

"No problem, we've been waiting for this moment since our training."

All possible arrangements had been made. Now, there was no possibility of evasion for either side's routes. Even if they turned and ran, they would be pursued by the enemy. The only option left for them was to defeat the Human Reform League's forces to have a chance to break through.

The Tiger-class transport fleet opposite Ptolemaios could already observe Ptolemaios and the Gundams through surveillance cameras. Sergei looked at the image of Ptolemaios, his expression equally grave.

As an observer, he had seen the brief data on the Gundams, but nothing else, so he never imagined that the Gundam transport ship was not a transport ship at all, but a light cruiser. Looking at the menacing gun barrels and the numerous empty modules all over, Sergei felt a headache coming on.

"This is your doing, right? So shameless..." Sergei cursed inwardly.

"Colonel, the Celestial Being transport ship is classified as a light cruiser. What should we do now?"

"Don't panic! The enemy only has two Gundams; we have an absolute numerical advantage! All MS units, launch! After we engage, the entire fleet should retreat to a safe area. Don't go to your deaths!" Sergei immediately changed the planned orders.

"Yes!"

After issuing the orders, Sergei headed to the hangar and boarded Beiwei, leading the MS units into battle. Given the situation, he could only charge in, looking for an opportunity to capture the two Gundams when the enemy broke through.

It was fortunate that they were not facing six Gundams. The most important thing was that Yang Hui was not present, which greatly increased the chances of success for this operation. Unfortunately, he knew of the existence of six Gundams but did not realize that even the transport ship was so formidable!

Uh... no, this was Sergei's mistake; he should have thought of it. He should have compared it to the experimental ship of the Human Reform League's upcoming space cruiser. How could he forget that guy would leave his hometown unarmed!

"Colonel." Peries piloting the special version of Into the Array arrived next to Beiwei, waiting for orders.

"All units maintain... Damn! All units disperse!"

The members of Dingwu executed Sergei's orders without hesitation. Firstly, they were the best soldiers, ingrained with the principle of obeying orders. Secondly, Sergei's reputation was at stake, and most importantly... they could visibly see dozens of pink beams heading straight for them.

...

Seeing the enemy's warships begin to retreat, Sumeragi anticipated Sergei's plan and immediately decided to take the initiative.

"Rase, target the enemy's rear fleet with the main cannon. Tieria, prepare the GN Bazooka to support Ptolemaios. Strike first and create a path!"

"But the enemy fleet is about to leave the main cannon's range," Rase reported.

"That's fine; as long as we can disrupt the enemy formation!"

"Received."

"Gundam Virtue, GN Bazooka, charging complete."

"Fire!"

Brilliant artillery fire lit up the scene. Following the Gundam, Ptolemaios finally showcased its fangs for the first time.

The beams flashed, confirming several explosions in the cosmos.

"Four enemy MS destroyed!"

"Maximum speed! Charge forward! Gundam Virtue, Gundam Kyrios, follow on the sides, don't fall behind!"

"Understood!" XN
