Thurman clenched his fists upon hearing this, took a deep breath, and said.
"Have the two damaged battleships withdraw from the battlefield to the rear for repairs." After giving the order, Thurman added. "Fill the vacant positions according to the combat plan."
Landon raised his hand in a salute and replied in a loud voice.
"Yes!"
Lowering his arm, Landon turned and issued the order to the communications soldier.
After receiving the command, the communications soldier relayed it to all battleships.
"Commander, the orders have been transmitted!"
Upon receiving the response, Landon turned to report to Thurman.
Thurman nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Watching the content displayed on the large screen, Thurman continued issuing orders.
"Dispatch units to surround and attack this special MS of the ZAFT Forces, preventing it from moving freely on the battlefield!"
"Yes!"
Felix pressed the forward and reverse pedals with his feet, and the Genesis Gundam moved accordingly. Just as it began to turn, Felix simultaneously pressed the reverse pedals.
The Genesis Gundam's turn instantly became a retreat.
While retreating, the enemy's beam attacks were easily dodged.
His finger pulled the firing trigger, and the 93.7cm High-Energy Beam Cannon fired.
A thick beam shot out from the cannon's muzzle.
It traversed the battlefield ahead and instantly destroyed a Strike Dagger.
After firing, Felix simultaneously pressed the forward pedals and pushed the thrust lever forward.
The Meteor's thrusters erupted with powerful force.
Propelled by this thrust, the Genesis Gundam charged forward at high speed.
The Beam Saber ignited, and with a sweep of its mechanical arm, three Strike Daggers were destroyed in one strike.
Just as Felix was about to continue maneuvering the Genesis Gundam, the trajectory map generated in his mind showed new changes.
"Are they planning to keep surrounding me?"
He muttered to himself.
His hands and feet moved rapidly, and the Genesis Gundam began moving at high speed.
The unpredictable positioning made it impossible for the surrounding Earth Alliance Forces units to aim, and all their attacks missed.
"Damn it, this guy's movement speed is just too fast."
"Don't get close to him, just provide fire suppression from a distance."
"Don't we have anything that can match him?"
Various voices echoed through the Earth Alliance Forces' communications.
While these voices continued to sound off, fingers kept pulling triggers incessantly.
Within the encirclement
The Genesis Gundam relied on Felix's predictive abilities to dodge attack after attack.
Inside the Genesis Gundam's cockpit
Felix pulled the trigger.
The 120cm High-Energy Beam Cannon fired.
A beam appeared on the screen, followed by two explosive fireballs ahead.
"Such a waste of energy."
After these two shots, Felix frowned and muttered.
As he spoke, Felix performed operations, and the Genesis Gundam responded quickly.
Dodging incoming attacks, the Whale Plasma Cluster Beam Cannons deployed. Both cannons fired simultaneously, beams cutting across the battlefield.
Before the two Strike Dagger pilots could fully react, the two beams pierced through them.
After firing, Felix immediately took action.
The Genesis Gundam continued evading, avoiding attacks from multiple directions.

Aprilius City District 1
Inside the PLANT Supreme Government Office Building
"Zala, the corresponding combat plan has been prepared."
Ezalia entered the office with documents, placing them on the desk as she reported to Patrick. Hearing her voice, Patrick looked up, glanced at Ezalia, and picked up the documents.
While reviewing the contents, Patrick asked, "Has the corresponding evacuation plan been prepared?"
"Yes, it's included at the end of the overall combat plan," Ezalia nodded in reply. After saying this, she sat in a chair and continued, "The condition for executing the evacuation plan is the destruction of Boaz Fortress."
Patrick nodded calmly and continued examining the plan. Several minutes later, he placed the documents back on the desk.
"The evacuation plan is well done."
Ezalia smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you for your praise."
Hearing Ezalia's words, Patrick looked at her and continued, "By the way, we should also arrange corresponding forces for support."
Nodding, Ezalia responded, "When the time comes, we'll have the forces from the Jachin Due Defense Line advance to support the troops retreating from Boaz Fortress."
Patrick gave an acknowledging hum upon hearing this. "Hmm."
Looking down at the documents on the desk, he said to Ezalia, "Proceed according to this combat plan."
Nodding, Ezalia picked up the documents and replied to Zala, "Understood, Zala."
After collecting the documents, Ezalia looked at Patrick thoughtfully and asked, "Zala, regarding the forces operating on the Moon, should we arrange corresponding support units for them?"
"I'll discuss this with Felix later. We'll make a decision after gaining a better understanding of the situation on the Moon," Patrick replied without changing his expression as he looked up at Ezalia. Hearing this, Ezalia didn't press further.
After exchanging a few more words, Ezalia left the Chairman's office with the documents.
Watching Ezalia leave, Patrick leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.
Lowering his hand, Patrick muttered with some uncertainty, "Should I activate Creuset or not?"
After muttering to himself, Patrick reached out and made a call.
After two beeps, the communication was connected.
"Chairman, hello!"
"How is the investigation into Creuset progressing? Are there any new evidence or clues?"
Patrick nodded slightly and inquired through the communication.
As soon as the question ended, a response came through the communication. "Chairman, there's no new evidence at the moment, but we've discovered some clues during the investigation."
Patrick's expression turned serious upon hearing this, and he asked sternly, "Are they related to Creuset?"
"Currently, it's unclear whether they're related to Captain Creuset."
"In that case, investigate these clues quickly and strive to confirm the situation as soon as possible."
A serious tone came from Patrick's lips, and the next moment he ended the communication. After hanging up, the worry on Patrick's face did not fade as he took a deep look at the communicator before setting it aside for the time being, sitting down to attend to his own matters.

Meanwhile, on the lunar battlefield
Watching the situation on the screen, Felix let out a long breath before maneuvering the Genesis Gundam to evade another attack from the left.
"Endless!"
