In the space above the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, in the space divided into the D3 area by Louise Halevi, the outpost fleet that has completed its deployment is filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Both the pilots and the personnel at various positions on the battleship were silently waiting for that moment to arrive.
And on all the screens where relevant information can be seen, a slowly jumping countdown is also attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone already knows the meaning of that set of countdowns.
Countdown to the launch of the Hermit Crab Project.
According to the message sent by Louise Halevi, the moment the countdown reaches zero, the node device arranged over the Great Red Spot of Jupiter will be activated, and within a few hours after the activation, the nodes will be scattered around the planet.
All special devices over Jupiter's Great Red Spot are fully activated, activating a special force field called a hermit crab to compress the ELS's activity space inside the Great Red Spot with maximum power, buying more time for humans.
"Attention all units, there are still three minutes until the hermit crab is activated."
The sound of CIC's step-by-step announcement sounded on time, which made everyone a little nervous.
After three minutes, some people will reach a turning point in their lives.
Death, or life.
"Are you nervous?"
The Valiant commander piloted by Graham was suspended above the flagship of the outpost fleet in humanoid form, silently watching the Great Red Spot below.
"I guess so!"
Facing the ridicule from his best friend, Graham responded calmly.
"It's really not like you! My best friend."
"Well, I think so too."
Graham smiled slightly, moved his eyes, and looked left and right.
Surrounding his Brave Commander are the Brave-style general-purpose experimental machines driven by the Sun Brave Team formed with him, Graham Aika, as the core.
"Everyone, are you scared?"
Graham's question drew laughter from the team members.
"Captain! If I were afraid, I wouldn't have followed you here!"
This was the response from team member Rudolf Schreiber.
"Yes, Captain! Rather than waiting on Earth, I prefer to come to Jupiter and fight the ELS in person, so that these iron blocks can feel the enthusiasm from the people on Earth!!"
As the only female pilot in the Sun Warriors, her response was even hotter.
As soon as these words came out, there were immediate responses from the team members.
"Really? Then, get ready to let those tough guys feel the passion of the Sun Braves!"
"Yes! Captain!"
Three minutes flew by in the blink of an eye.
At the moment when the countdown reached zero, the node device protected behind the outpost fleet turned on the energy, quickly activated all its internal modules, and issued a activation completion signal to the legion led by Louise Halevi and the outpost fleet.
signal.
"Graham! The node device has been successfully activated! The special force field is being generated!"
As a technician of the outpost fleet, Billy Katagiri received the news immediately, but bad news also followed.
"What a pity! ELS is coming!"
"Yes! I saw it! See you later, dear friend!"
"See you later!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, seemingly not paying attention to the brutal battle that followed.
"Sun Braves, move forward quickly, occupy a favorable area, and quickly expand into formation! Even if we die, we cannot let ELS break through our defenses and threaten the node device!"
"Yes! Captain!!"
Led by the Brave Commander type piloted by Graham, the Sun Braves quickly moved forward, serving as the arrowhead of the outpost fleet and rushing directly towards the incoming ELS.
At this moment, the number of ELS appearing in the D3 area is rising rapidly.
Single digits, tens digits, hundreds digits, thousands digits, it still hasn’t stopped growing.
It seems that ELS has known the true nature of the so-called hermit crab plan, and will use all its power to prevent the success of the hermit crab plan.
In the F5 area, there are nearly 10,000 legions of various sizes, large and small, gathered near the node device, forming a tight defense network. At the same time, more legions are coming from all directions to join here.
build a defensive network, or turn around halfway and join the battle to support the outpost fleet.
Among the tightly defended legions, a machine called the Ascendant was quietly standing on an asteroid with a diameter of about 1.5 kilometers, watching the battle unfold.
"D3 area, node activation, F5 area, node activation, H1 area, enter the countdown. The current progress is in line with expectations, but the number of legions is close to the maximum predicted value, and the situation may be beyond control."
Inside the silver-gray machine, Louise Halevi, who had her eyes closed tightly, was covered by a layer of silver-gray liquid metal. This layer of special silver-gray liquid metal allowed Louise to merge with the upgraded person, and at the same time, it also
It can provide enough energy for Louise Halevi to ensure that Louise Halevi can maintain basic vital signs even if she does not eat or drink for a long time.
However, this is not a long-term solution.
But, there is no alternative.
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
Just a little bit, just a little bit away, Louise Halevi will be able to complete Halevi's mission and buy more time for mankind.
However, reality is constantly adding more weight to the ELS side, making the balance that determines the victory of this battle gradually tilt towards ELS.
"Eighth Battalion, support area D3."
The moment Louise Halevi made her decision, the legion's intelligent AI immediately raised questions.
In the blink of an eye, Louise Halevi denied it again.
If the original legion network was still there, I'm afraid Louise's decision would not be recognized.
Although the intelligent AI is very aware that arbitrarily mobilizing the legions in the F5 area to support the outpost fleet in the D3 area will cause loopholes in the defense system of the F5 area, the order from the highest authority makes the intelligent AI unable to refuse and can only execute it obediently.
"In this way, maybe we can hold on until the arrival of the third fleet!"
In order to make up for the gap in combat power, Louise transferred back a small number of legions distributed inside the Jupiter ring while focusing on the H1 area.
The node device there will be activated soon.
If the Third Fleet did not arrive in time, the ELS without any obstruction would inevitably destroy the node device in the H1 area.
In fact, there is no such thing as the moment the node device in the H1 area enters the countdown to zero, the device is successfully activated, and the special force field it unfolds immediately attracts the attention of the legion that is attacking the D3 area and the F5 area.
"No! The ELS needs to divide its forces! Each aircraft! Advance at full speed to prevent the ELS from attacking the H1 area!"
Graham's expression changed and he immediately issued a pursuit order.
However, there are too many ELSs.
Although the Sun Braves reacted extremely quickly, they were unable to stop all the ELS that hit the H1 area.
"Damn it!"
While Graham roared unwillingly, his brain's quantum waves told him a piece of news.
"Buzz!!"
Behind the H1 area, three extremely bright and huge light pillars suddenly appeared, sweeping away all the ELS that had already assaulted not far in front of the node device.
"This feeling! It's heavenly beings!! They are coming!"
Graham looked behind the H1 area in surprise, looking at the Healing Angel Gundam and Quan Angel II units 1 and 3 that first appeared within the maximum scanning range of the optical radar.
