The originally celebratory days had completely disappeared with a terrifying cannon fired from the bow of the ship. What replaced it was chaos, a chaos that was enough to involve the entire human race.
Perhaps most people did not realize why the main cannon was fired. Even the ordinary people who enjoyed peace thought that it was a celebratory salute for the first voyage ceremony.
Only the officers and the participants of the ceremony knew that it was not a cannon salute, especially the captain, Bruno J. Gulliver, who watched the cannon slowly retract in silence.
The few bridge operators looked at each other in dismay. The old operating system of the Macross had suddenly started up, directly stripping the control of the entire warship.
Immediately after, the warship activated its main cannon and fired a full-powered attack into space. Coincidentally, just before the warship lost control, a message came from the cosmic space mother, Armd1.
Gravity anomalies and light were detected in lunar orbit, which was exactly the same as when the Macross crashed.
And that was indeed the case. A huge fleet appeared in lunar orbit, and at the same time, the other party sent two warships to probe.
However, just as the enemy approached, the main cannon fired from the Macross directly destroyed the two vanguard ships.
Such an action was undoubtedly a declaration of war, and it was a one-sided declaration of war on the human side, even though this was not what the humans wanted to see.
However, to the aliens who had come, this was already a declaration of war. Therefore, the other party did not hesitate to command the fleet and began to move towards Earth.
Meanwhile, on Earth, hearing that the main cannon had destroyed what seemed to be a battleship, and that there were many other spaceships rapidly approaching behind it, Captain Gurion suddenly burst into laughter. Even though he was laughing, his eyes were filled with gloom.
This was because he realized that humans were about to encounter a big problem, and this was a trap that humans were destined to fall into.
"We've been deceived! This ship was a trap!”
"A trap?"
The captain's series of actions confused everyone on the bridge. Hayase Misa, the female officer beside him, had a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"During World War II, the German army used a common method. When retreating, they would put explosives in the discarded pens and guns. When someone used them, they would explode.”
"The aliens who abandoned this ship obviously expected this day to come, so they set up the automatic defense system.”
Captain Gurion bit his pipe and said with an ugly expression. The other party's methods were too good. Even Gurion himself could not imagine what humanity would face next.
" First-level battle preparations!"
With this order, an ear-piercing air-defense alarm sounded across the entire island. Everyone was shocked, and all departments immediately responded.
Everyone held their breath as they waited for the enemy to arrive. In the universe, the two space mothers developed by mankind, Armds, were competing with each other.
However, it was clear that the weapons that humanity possessed were still insufficient to deal with a fleet that truly belonged to the space war.
Even though they did manage to destroy a few of the enemy's small ships after launching the reaction warheads, the two space mothers were unable to defend themselves against the mothership's attack.
Yavut No. 1 was heavily damaged, and No. 2 could barely dodge the attack, but it also lost the ability to intercept the enemy fleet.
Just like that, they allowed the enemy to head toward Earth and toward the Macross. For this, the Unified Government issued an emergency notice to all combatants to enter combat mode.
As the chief ace pilot of the Macross, Roy Fuka naturally led the Skeleton Squadron out. The Skeleton Squadron could be said to be the most elite team in the unified government.
This was because they were the first team to be equipped with a changeable fighter jet, and they also had Roy as their coach. Naturally, they were the strongest in the entire United Army.
Speaking of which, after the birdman incident, Makoto had also been promoted. He had now successfully joined the Skeleton Squadron and became the strongest pilot in the team, other than Roy.
However, due to his personality, he only led a team in name and did not become a famous coach or leader like Roy.
In terms of piloting skills alone, Kudo's strength and standards were indeed top-notch. This time, he also participated in the battle as a member of the Skeleton Squadron.
The battle was unexpectedly intense. The aliens did not descend from the universe immediately. Instead, they sent out a large number of flying units, intending to carry out further probing.
This was because the aliens had already observed the Macross on Earth. However, what shocked them was that they had tracked the ship based on the original signal.
However, he did not expect that it would have a completely different appearance. In other words, this race seemed to have a skill called 'Repair'.
Relying on this technology, they had rebuilt the original ship into its current appearance. In order to test the strength of this race, the other party had specially sent an advance party.
As they were the vanguard, there was not much difference between the two sides in terms of the performance of the mecha. In addition, the humans were fully prepared to attack, and the two sides were actually tied for a moment.
However, for the humans, this result was not very good. This was because the humans had to pay so much to stop such a team.
Who knew if the other party had more and stronger teams? In fact, other than the air forces, the other party had taken advantage of the air defense to send out ground forces.
They landed directly around the island. Due to the use of reaction weapons in the first round of defense, the radar was somewhat affected.
By the time the humans discovered the enemy's troops, they had already landed in the sea around the island. The humans, who had just dealt with the enemies in the air, had no time to return to defend.
In desperation, the higher-ups asked Macross to take off immediately to fight the enemies in the universe, even though the captain felt that this was not a good idea.
However, considering that Macross was the enemy's target, it was not a good thing for him to stay on the ground. Moreover, it was not beneficial for Macross to engage in positional warfare on the ground.
Hence, Captain Gurion agreed to this order. He ordered the control personnel to send out the evacuation alarm while giving the order to officially set sail.
However, what was even worse was that the ship had just set sail when another problem occurred. The gravity control system, which was the core of the ship, actually had a problem.
For some reason, the most critical system was not firmly integrated with the body. After the system was activated, it was directly separated from the warship.
Just like that, this battleship that was picked up ended up in failure during the disastrous first voyage ceremony and crashed to the ground again.
