[Chapter 419: Always Too Soft-Hearted]
Although Saotome Art wanted to fly a fighter plane and attack with his friends.
But no one paid attention to his request.
Michael and Luca were official employees of SMS, and both of them were members of the Skull Squad. Receiving orders to attack was part of their job;
David’s fighter plane was prepared with the help of LAI, and to some extent it was David’s “personal asset”. He flew a fighter plane and acted with SMS as a personal act. In theory, the army and the SMS company’s team could expel or destroy him.
Saotome Art didn’t have a personal plane, and no one authorized him to attack, so even if he wanted to, he could only stare at the side.
He watched David put on his flight suit and sit in this VF-25S (captain model body, the same model as the one driven by Ozma) with a white background and black stripes and a wolf head pattern on the vertical tail.
“Don’t be envious. When you return to Winter City, you will have the opportunity to actually fly this fighter.”
The relevant technology is already in hand. David will take out the technology after returning. Winter City can easily copy the VF-25 fighter. Moreover, with the resources that Winter City has, there will be no problem in directly using this fighter as the standard fighter of Winter City.
“Really?”
“Of course, I never lie about this kind of thing.”
David made a promise casually, closed the cockpit cover, and then quietly waited for the attack sequence.
The communication image appeared at this time, and Ozma’s stinky face appeared on it.
“This time you will act with our Skull Squad, temporarily numbered Skull No. 5.”
“Oh? I thought you were going to act alone!”
“This time we are going to have a real battle, not a joke. We are going to face very troublesome enemies, you’d better put away your playful mentality… Skull No. 2 will be responsible for protecting you.”
“Don’t you know my skills?”
“This time is different, it’s a real battle.” Ozma’s expression was very serious, no longer an impatient face, but a serious reminder to David not to think that going to the battlefield is such a fun experience: “I don’t want my team members to die on the battlefield, even if they are temporarily forced in.”
Looking at Ozma in front of him, David no longer fooled this man as if joking.
After all, he was concerned about his safety, so it was not appropriate to joke at this time: “Don’t worry, I’m not a rookie without actual combat experience.”
After seeing David’s serious expression, Ozma on the opposite side also realized something: “That would be the best.” After
turning off the communication, David looked at the super backpack that was added to his fighter. This external equipment allows the VF fighter to carry more ammunition.
But correspondingly, after installing the super backpack, even if a few more thrusters are added to the backpack, the fighter will still become heavy, and the flexibility cannot be compared with the normal state. Those who
can drive the fighter extremely flexibly after installing the super backpack are all ace pilots.
At the beginning of the plot, Saotome Alter was almost there, and was almost thrown away by Ozma and almost couldn’t even see the butt of the plane.
After several battles, Saotome Alter, who tapped his potential, became an ace pilot. In the movie version, he can even fight against VF-27 and three drones alone.
Even if he was driving a YF-29 at the time, it would be impossible to defeat such an opponent if his skills were not up to standard.
“Speaking of which, I don’t know to what extent I can play the combat effectiveness of this fighter?”
David didn’t have to wait long, and soon he got the answer.
He controlled this VF-25 fighter to the limit, using all kinds of mysterious and strange maneuvers to rush around on the battlefield. Even a strong creature like Vajra could not keep up with David’s rhythm and could only turn into gorgeous fireworks in the missiles he launched.
“…”
Watching David’s fighter plane destroy several Vajra again, and then stop and turn into a human form, raising his head to greet him (provoke), the blood pressure that had dropped during the battle began to soar again.
Ozma had the urge to lock David’s fighter plane and throw all the missiles at him.
“Captain, this guy named David… is he really a human?”
Killiam, who was an assaulter with Ozma, felt that the maneuvers David made were too scary. He always thought that only drones could make such flying movements.
“Who knows…”
Ozma took a few deep breaths and told Killiam not to pay attention to the guy. Judging from his performance on the battlefield, this guy was indeed not a new recruit.
“Michael, from now on you just do your own job and don’t have to pay attention to that guy anymore.”
“Although I really want to say that even if I wanted to pay attention I couldn’t keep up with that guy’s movements, but…is it really true that we don’t have to care?” Michael really wanted to ask Luca, if this David died on the battlefield, would LAI be in a difficult position?
As a result, Luca didn’t care about these at all. He was collecting all kinds of battlefield data: data related to VF-25 and data on Vajra.
David was actually doing something similar. He controlled the fighter plane in his hand and shuttled back and forth on the battlefield. His body had switched to the Cybertron body. His eyes kept scanning these magical creatures that could fly in the universe and the atmosphere, form bullets, missiles, and folding crystals in their bodies, and ignore space faults and make space jumps across galaxies.
Oh, by the way, this kind of creature also has an extremely outrageous evolutionary ability: when a group of people suffers a certain kind of damage and dies on a large scale, the remaining group will evolve accordingly and be directly immune to such damage.
In the plot, human weapons can easily destroy these bugs at the beginning, but slowly various weapons begin to lose their effectiveness.
Although various new warheads have been developed for Vajra, everyone knows that if it goes on for a long time, these new weapons will sooner or later lose their effectiveness.
Fortunately, there is no irreconcilable contradiction between this Zerg called Vajra and humans. The outbreak of war is entirely due to the instigation of conspirators and some “misunderstandings”.
Later, with the efforts of Lanhua-Li and Shirley, the bugs and humans came to understand each other and gave up their planets, allowing the humans of the 25th Immigration Fleet to settle on this planet.
“It would be great if we could study the inter-galactic-level space jump ability and the outrageous evolutionary ability.”
Thinking of this, David realized that his idea was the same as the primitive civilization that led to the whole story!
It can be said that the source of technology in the entire Macross series was the Vajra that was bombarded by him.
“Will you not come up with something like the original demon in the future because of the research on related technologies?” Because enough data has been collected, David started to slack off: “Winter Demon?”
Looking around, he could not see any bugs near him, but the battle in the distance was not over. David noticed that one of the adult Vajra was rushing towards the main island of the immigration fleet at an astonishing speed.
It must be said that the battle has been going on for a while, and the military fighter planes have been blown up. The official has long known that a big battle is going on here, but they are unwilling to close the “outer cover” of the main island, just because they don’t want the public to know that there is a war here.
“This stupid president deserves to die just like Xu Wenqiang.”
David adjusted the direction and rushed directly towards the Vajra.
Adult Vajra has very strong firepower. The huge needle-like part on their back can release powerful energy beams, which can destroy a space battleship with one shot. With
such strong firepower, if they are killed into the main island, the damage caused can be imagined.
“Killiam!”
“Leave it to me!”
Ozma, who was temporarily unable to get away, immediately ordered Kiliam to return for help, but Kiliam had just adjusted the direction when a VF fighter rushed over from the side. “Leave it to me.”
Increasing the speed to the maximum, the VF fighter flew at the fastest speed since its birth and soon caught up with the Vajra. “I am the most soft-hearted person.
I can’t bear
to see good people sacrificed!”
David didn’t say this to himself. He did not cut off the communication between Kiliam and Ozma, so both of them heard it.
“Tsk~” Gilliam wanted to retort. He was also a very good pilot. How could he sacrifice himself to deal with a big bug?
But when he saw that the other party cut Vajra into pieces with a combat dagger like cutting melons and vegetables, he thought it would be better for him to keep his mouth shut.
The biggest crisis was resolved by David. SMS and the army finally defeated the invading Vajra, and everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In any case, after a victory, everyone around him was still alive and kicking. Everyone could celebrate after returning.
As for the loss of the military? That had nothing to do with SMS.
But for Ozma, this battle had a completely different meaning: he saw with his own eyes how terrible David was on the battlefield, and that kind of strength made him unable to ignore it at all.
David looked at Ozma, who was standing in a daze beside his fighter plane. When the other party turned his head and looked at him and his eyes met, David knew that Ozma was shaken.
Walking over, David extended an invitation to Ozma: “If you have time, you can ask Luca to take you to visit my place. Maybe then you won’t be so entangled.”
Reaching out and patting Ozma, David finally added in a low voice: “That’s also a better choice for your sister.”
“What…”
Ozma wanted to ask something, but when he turned around, he was surprised to find that David had disappeared.
Looking around, there were many people in the hangar, but he believed that with his eyesight, he could easily distinguish which one was David from the crowd.
But he couldn’t find David, as if David had disappeared into thin air after he said that to him.
