Mobile Suit Wars: Starting with Gundam OO

Chapter 24: No Room for Luck on the Real Battlefield

Even before Sumeragi and the others descended to Earth, a temporary CIC had been set up in the underground hangar. Sumeragi inserted the quantum storage device, and the deployment status of Moralia, the AEU, and PMC Trust was displayed in real-time.

"When did you hack into their systems?" Feldt asked in surprise.

"Before breakfast," Christina replied with a playful wink. Hacking was her specialty. Before joining **Celestial Being**, she had been the world's most skilled and youngest super-hacker.

"According to the plan, the mission begins at 00:00. All hostile forces are targets," Sumeragi commanded.

"Understood." x2

Before the mission even began, real-time updates on the Gundams had already reached the desks of high-ranking officials in various nations. Every major base was broadcasting **Celestial Being**'s actions live.

Although the **Secret Gundam**, which had wreaked havoc in Moralia, was nowhere to be seen, the deployment of five Gundams made it clear that **Celestial Being** was serious about this armed intervention.

As soon as the five Gundams crossed Moralia's border, they were detected by local reconnaissance aircraft. However, the Gundams didn't shoot down the scouts. Instead, they confirmed the mission start and proceeded to their designated areas.

"Enemy air unit from E332 locked. Beginning armed intervention. Ms. Sumeragi's predictions are incredibly accurate."

Hallelujah was still speaking when the **Kyrios**' dual GN Submachine Guns opened fire. The beams destroyed two Enforcer units in an instant. The **Kyrios** then flew straight through the center of the enemy formation, taking advantage of their disorientation to launch GN missiles from its tail-mounted launcher. The missiles rained down, engulfing the entire air unit in a storm of fire and debris.

---

"Enemy unit destroyed. **Kyrios** will continue as planned."

"Understood. Proceeding with intervention."

"**Dynames** and **Cherudim** beginning armed intervention at D833. **Virtue** has arrived at C154 and is commencing destruction of enemy military facilities."

---

At the center of a large base, the **Cherudim** stood calmly in the middle of an encirclement. The **Tieren Taozi** units fired relentlessly, but their shots only sparked against the external shields, leaving no visible marks.

"**Cherudim**, commencing target destruction."

As Lyle spoke, the two GN Beam Rifles fired through the gaps in the external shields, each shot precisely hitting a **Tieren Taozi**'s head.

Just as Lyle was enjoying himself, the Haro sounded an alarm: "Warning! Rear attack detected!"

But before the Haro's warning could fully register, several pink beams shot out from the dense forest in the distance, piercing through the ambushers behind the **Cherudim**.

"Where did that attack come from?"

"Reconnaissance aircraft! Where's the live feed?"

"Nothing detected? How is that possible!?"

As everyone stared in shock, the **Dynames** gradually materialized out of thin air, raised its GN Sniper Rifle, and fired at the reconnaissance aircraft above. The beam melted the aircraft's wings, sending it plummeting to the ground.

"Optical... camouflage..."

Ignoring the enemy's reaction to the **Dynames**' sudden appearance, Neil scolded Lyle over the comms: "Be more careful, Lyle. Don't just stand there like a target. Didn't Mr. Myer teach you that?"

"I've got you watching my back, big bro. I trust you completely."

"Sigh, you're hopeless."

As the brothers bantered, the **Tieren Taozi** units at the base were quickly wiped out.

The **Cherudim** abandoned its stationary position and began weaving through the enemy MS units. With every move, several **Tieren Taozi** units fell, and any that slipped through were promptly picked off by the hidden **Dynames**.

---

Meanwhile, Tieria avoided the reckless move from the original timeline where he landed directly in front of the enemy and tanked their fire. Instead, he cleared a safe zone from the air using the twin GN Cannons before landing.

The GN Cannons combined, and a massive energy buildup began. The waist-mounted GN Cannons unfolded, their barrels glowing with pink light.

"**Virtue**, clearing the **Tieren Taozi** units."

With that, the GN Bazooka and GN Cannons fired simultaneously, their beams merging into one. The attack not only obliterated the **Tieren Taozi** units in front but also tore through the entire base. Tieria then began rotating the **Virtue**, sweeping the area in a扇形 pattern.

Warehouses, MS units, anti-air defenses—nothing was spared.

---

Above, the AEU's **Enact** air squadron had arrived to provide support.

"Found you! Your model's different, but you're still a Gundam, right? That makes you my enemy! Remember this! The one who defeats you is none other than Patrick Colasour!"

Patrick, as arrogant and clueless as ever, charged straight at the **Virtue** despite the heightened awareness of Gundams across the nations. He even taunted over an open channel.

But this time, he was facing Tieria and the **Virtue**. Tieria wasn't as merciful as Setsuna, and the **Virtue**'s firepower left no room for leniency.

The GN Bazooka and GN Cannons were still charging, but the **Virtue** had its shoulder-mounted GN Vulcans, designed specifically for high-mobility units and anti-air defense.

"Enemy rapidly approaching from G653."

"Understood. Eliminating target."

Following Feldt's warning, the **Virtue**'s GN Vulcans began rotating, locking onto the approaching **Enact** squadron. With a rapid series of shots, the beams formed a continuous line, reaching Patrick's unit in an instant.

"Is this... the end...?"

These were Patrick's final thoughts as his screen was engulfed in pink light.

Under the **Virtue**'s barrage, the **Enact** squadron was reduced to碎片 within a minute, exploding and falling to the ground.

The AEU's ace pilot, the infamous "2000-Match Man," Patrick Colasour, met his end in his second appearance.

This was the battlefield. This was reality. There was no room for the kind of luck seen in动画.

"Enemy reinforcements eliminated. Proceeding with the mission."

---

"**Virtue** has completed Phase One. Moving to Phase Two."

"**Kyrios** has cleared enemy air forces. Moving to Phase Two."

After listening to Christina and Feldt's reports, Sumeragi issued new orders: "**Dynames** and **Cherudim**, switch to Plan C5."

"Understood."

"What's the status of the **Exia**?" Sumeragi asked. According to the plan, everyone should have completed Phase One by now, but there had been no report from the **Exia**.

"**Exia** has completed Phase One and is preparing to... Ms. Sumeragi! The **Exia** is surrounded by enemy forces!" Christina reported.

"How...?" The situation had deviated from the plan. Sumeragi looked at the **Exia**'s location on the real-time map. Enemy markers were appearing one after another, completely surrounding the **Exia**.

"An ambush? This situation... Could it be Kati?" Sumeragi quickly analyzed the situation and realized the flaw in her predictions.

"Myer!"

"**Secret Gundam** is on standby at high altitude. Is someone in trouble?"

"The **Exia** is surrounded. The enemy MS units appeared suddenly, likely AEU's secret forces. They've been in stealth mode. Setsuna's Phase One tasks will be handled by you. The **Exia** will proceed directly to Phase Two."

"Understood."

"Ms. Sumeragi, what's going on?" Wang Liu Mei, who had been observing, couldn't help but ask now that something had gone wrong.

"Hmm, it seems we've encountered a worthy opponent," Sumeragi said, biting her thumbnail.

"An opponent?"

"Yes. If I'm not mistaken, the enemy commander is Kati."

"Kati? Kati Mannequin!" Wang Liu Mei exclaimed.
