Machine War: Infinite Frontier.

A few days passed by, and the Archangel finally entered the Strait of Malacca as planned.

Because of Xiao Yun's previous speculation, before entering the Strait of Malacca, Ma Liu asked Mu to fly Air King 1 to conduct an aerial reconnaissance, using Air King to guide them in the air to continue moving forward in the strait.

And Xiao Yun was also called into the bridge. Feeling the slightly tense and silent atmosphere in the bridge, Xiao Yun did not speak randomly. He just found a place where no one was and sat and looked at him from time to time. The radar screen on the console in front of him and the communication screen transmitted back in real time by Mu on the big screen were in front of him.

"No, no, no!" Mu complained in a deep voice in the communication: "I haven't seen any trace of the ZAFT army. Sure enough, even if we want to ambush, we can't ambush at the entrance. But once we enter the Strait of Malacca, what will happen?" Maybe we will encounter ZAFT’s ambush in the middle or at the exit.”

"But at that time, no matter how many people ZAFT has arranged, we have no other choice but to force a breakthrough."

"One day." Ma Liu sat on the captain's seat with a thoughtful expression: "It will take at least one day to pass through the Strait of Malacca. If we encounter the enemy deeply, we will be like a turtle in a jar. There is really no other way except a frontal breakthrough. The path we chose, but now we also have no choice.”

Mirialia looked at Malu with some confusion: "Captain, why don't we avoid the Strait of Malacca?"

Malu showed a helpless expression: "Because the Strait of Malacca belongs to the Equator Alliance and is a neutral force like Orb. We can enter the Strait of Malacca without any burden. The Equator Alliance will also choose to turn a blind eye. We don't have to worry if we meet ZAFT. The Equator Federation stepped in.”

"It is impossible for ZAFT to send large-scale forces into the equator to jointly intercept and pursue us. The forces that can be used will be limited to a certain range. With the current combat power of the Archangel, it is possible to break through."

"But if we bypass the Strait of Malacca and continue down, it will fall within the sphere of influence of the Pacific Alliance, and the Pacific Alliance is a pro-PLANT country. When the time comes, they will definitely send forces that we cannot resist to encircle and suppress us."

Dole suddenly clapped his hands and said: "I know that the Carpantalia base is in Australia. It is one of the ZAFT army's most important bases on earth. The other one is the Gibraltar base."

Ma Liu nodded: "Yes, so this is the only way we can go. Mr. Xiao, where do you think ZAFT will be waiting for us?"

Xiao Yun looked at Ma Liu and said: "The exit. Under normal circumstances, that time should be the time when we are most relaxed. We have passed through the most dangerous Strait of Malacca without incident. If we continue to go there, The terrain will become complicated for us to hide, so they will definitely attack us before we reach the islands."

Ma Liu looked at the map and nodded lightly: "As I thought, Mirialia, please inform Major Mu to come back."

Xiao Yun groaned and asked: "Captain Ma Liu, what is the maximum endurance of the Air Overlord driven by Mu?"

Ma Liu was surprised by Xiao Yun's question, but he also said: "About 4000 kilometers. If equipped with the Strike Gundam's wing backpack, it can reach at least about 7000 kilometers."

Xiao Yun opened his mouth, shook his head and said: "I suspect that the opponent is already guarding us at the exit. It is better to let Mu continue to make sure, than to be worried for the next day and not know when the enemy will launch an attack. .”

Ma Liu nodded when she heard Xiao Yun's words. She felt that what Xiao Yun said seemed to make sense, so she gave another instruction to Mirialia.

In fact, this is not what Xiao Yun wants to say. What he really wants to say is another thing.

The Sky King is extremely fast and has a maximum range of 7000 kilometers. Wouldn't it be faster and more convenient than the Archangel to start from here and stop in Orb for supplies, then change direction and arrive at the East Asian Federation for supplies again, and then fly all the way to Alaska?

Moreover, what the Earth Alliance only wants is the data on the Archangel and Strike Gundam, not the machines themselves. Since the data is precious, why not let Mu fly there alone? It is safe and fast, and can be safely reached in two days at most. Send the data of the aircraft and battleships to Alaska, but continue to move forward in this way.

Just when he was about to speak, Xiao Yun changed the subject. To put it bluntly, it was none of his business. Xiao Yun also felt that it would be better for the Archangel to go to Alaska for a tour. Otherwise, these people might not be able to see clearly the nature of the United Earth. , if you can't see through it, how could you join Orb and become an important force in ending the war.

When Mu returned, he also brought news to the Archangel, that is, traces of ZAFT troops were indeed found on the Archangel's only route.

A complete ZAFT team, an interception team composed of three diving aircraft carriers, was stationed at the exit of the Strait of Malacca.

When Mu returned to the Archangel, the group began to discuss the battle meeting on the bridge.

Mu marked the locations of the three aircraft carriers on the map: "At this place, there is a team of three ZAFT submarine carriers. The specific configuration is unknown, but according to one carrier carrying six mobile suits, then What we have to face next is a large-scale mobile suit unit with eighteen units capable of air and water combat."

"Even if they are evenly divided, the Archangel will also have to face attacks from nine underwater MSs and nine different MSs in the air. Although Strike Gundam can fight underwater, it will be too much pressure to face the attacks of nine MSs. Big.”

Mu glanced at the crowd and said, "So I suggest changing the route immediately. Instead of continuing to sail from the sea, I will go around the land."

Bucky Lulu shook his head beside him: "I can't do it anymore."

Mu was puzzled: "Why?"

Ma Liu sighed: "Because drones have been targeting us just now, the Equator Union will not allow us to set foot on their land."

Mu nodded and looked at the map: "Then we can only force a breakthrough, but there is no chance. They don't know yet that we have discovered them. They want to ambush us, so we can attack them first."

Malu asked: "What do you mean?"

Mu Dao: "I will fly the Air King No. 1 to take the lead and find an opportunity to destroy a warship first to reduce the pressure we have to face. As long as we can do this, the pressure we have to face will be reduced by one-third. one."

Xiao Yun nodded lightly: "It's feasible, and then Kira and I will take advantage of the situation and attack. I can deal with the enemies in the air, but we can only rely on Kira to deal with the underwater targets."
