Volume 13 Black Sun Chapter 27 Father and Son
Against the backdrop of the dark universe and the stars, an endless fleet of ships is shelling, and the universe of eternal night is torn apart by thousands of beams and lines of fire, and after shooting into the hostile target group, it blooms with large and small circles of light, flickering like flower lights. The line of fire of the counterattack vanished from the ever-blooming and vanishing light clusters, intersecting with the second wave of particle beams, and ultra-high-temperature jets of Mega particles poured out of the VSBR, scorching the vacuum before burrowing into the hull of the Federation battleship. The Federation's Clapp-class battleship erupts with fire from the stern of its hull, and then collides with friendly forces because it can't steer, turning into a Valkyrie's bonus.
The image freezes.
The pitch-black universe brightened sharply, making the audience who were still experiencing the moment of Noah's battle from the first perspective of the imperial pilot and the perspective of God feel a little uncomfortable in a trance, but the voice of the host who "stands" among the stars quickly woke them up from the trance:
"Hello viewers, this is the SOL Alliance (The-Solar-Alliance) QNB (Quantum-Neuron-Broadcasting), you are participating in the special edition of the 10th anniversary program "Military Intelligence Decoding" of this station, I am the host Hu You. This year, we will return with you to visit a very important event in the Battle of Noah, this event is full of fog, until now there is no conclusive, in the coalition government has not declassified the documents now we can only try our best to guess... I think you've got some guesses out of the way, so without wasting any time, I'd like to have our special guest--- Charlotte. Eγ Jayger! β
The voice of a writer who is famous for his study of history in the solar system resounded among the stars:
"There were too many ifs in the Battle of Noah, such as [if the federal sergeant hadn't let Ian. Reinhardt boarded the shuttle that he didn't have the right to board, or if the 103rd Marine of the Federal Space Force hadn't been on the wrong ship at the time, these brought too many variables to the battle, and most of the reasons behind these ifs have been understood by us... β
βγγγ But there are a few such ifs that are still entangled in fog, such as the one we are going to talk about today, if ---- Asgard's fortress guns hadn't done that incredible bombardment, if there had been no shelling, the Ark would have been in Enola of the Federation Army. The Guy should not be able to break into Asgard under the cover of suicide, but why the fortress guns would shell in that direction at that moment, that's what we're going to explore today... β
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The green particle light spread, wrapping the body of the Ark battleship, turning into a cocoon of light and rushing straight towards the fortress of the Empire, Brad suddenly felt a familiar atmosphere--- that all the people were united by some unknown force, turned into an iron fist and smashed into the enemy's --- [New Human Battleship], just when Brad was laughing at himself in his heart, the Inspector suddenly attracted his attention with a sound of horror that could be heard throughout the huge bridge:
"The main cannon of that monster fortress has been turned around!"
In terms of maximizing the optical impact, the equatorial part of the spherical fortress that gave everyone a great sense of oppression, and the fortress laser cannon that had once evaporated the Federation fleet was slowly turning the muzzle of the cannon in a terrifying manner.
"Did the guys from the military department estimate the wrong time," Brad gritted his teeth and then gave an order, "Emergency avoidance, bow angle -20!" β
"It's too late!!"
With the Inspector's scream, an explosive light erupted from one of the Imperial Fortress's main cannons, and the furious laser turned into an invisible axis of light, revealing a rush of light when it hit the cosmic dust and the wreckage in the vacuum. Under the helpless gaze of the Ark's passengers, the laser light axis that had not had time to fully diffuse turned into a 9-kilometer-diameter Grim Reaper and grazed past the Ark's hull.
"Oh my God... In the communication circuit of the CIC on the bridge, there was a long prostrational groan of a cannon mine.
"These guys don't miss, find out what their target, what exactly is on the axis of the ray, and keep approaching, don't forget about our target!!" Brad yelled.
At the same time, General Rebil was also shocked by the shelling:
"What exactly are they shelling, and the previous estimates are all wrong, the enemy can now launch a second shelling!"
"How can recharging and replacing parts be so fast... The Federation's operational staff groaned in despair at the thought of the kind of repair operation that would take weeks after the bombardment of the Federation's colonial satellite lasers. The aura of despair spread from one point to the next--- everyone was hoping that the enemy's [Ghost Card] had run out, that is, the [fact] that the fortress cannon and meteorite swarm would not be able to be activated again for a short time, but this part of the perception that gave them a [can still fight] battle dissipated like a bubble before their eyes.
Just when everyone on the flagship of Rebil's flagship --- the Federation's defense fleet fell into a brief despair, the console in front of the Observation Chief emitted a terrifying alarm, and when the Observation Chief, who had just woken up from a dream, came back to his senses to pay attention to the alarm, the Communicator's console also sounded, and these two alarms caused Reybil's bridge to fall into a kind of dead silence for a moment, and then:
"Our optical sensors have just found a few large meteorites behind those meteorite groups... It wasn't a meteorite at all, a massive heat source signal was captured, and it was some kind of camouflaged carrying device!! β
"Call from the War Zone Observatory! The meteorite group targets Sierra ---Tango-11 to 13 have collapsed, splitting off more than 1,000 small heat sources and are rapidly advancing towards Earth!! β
"Where's the route?!" Rybill's body tensed all at once.
"Calculating!"
Everyone's eyes focused on the direction of the three dotted lines displayed on the main screen--- the direction of the light cluster composed of a shocking dense red light point split from the three meteorite markers, and then I don't know who let out a scream:
"It's a rail elevator !!!!!!!!!!!"
The descending track where the three light clusters extend is where the rail elevator is located.
"Let all the reserves be... Reybir gave a loud order, and then he was stuck, the general of the Federation knew---- because of the previous meteorite fall and the Federation's interception order, the interception fire near the orbital elevator that was the hardest hit area must have been exhausted, and at this time, it could only rely on the space fleet to plug the leak.
All the reserves, after Rybil finished shouting, a cloudy tear could not help but welled up in his eyes, and the tears blurred the old man's vision, blurring the number [2] that showed the number of the remaining reserve MS brigades--- the main force of the Federation Space Force was almost gone.
Is the enemy's target the rail elevator, but what is the purpose, and soon the old general's brain, which was suppressed by his will to mourn the dead Union soldiers, immediately began to turn--- whether to suppress the rail elevator for control or something else... Is it the beginning of occupation and repression or the beginning of destruction:
"Mobilize reserves, go to the rail elevator in North America to lower the orbit to intercept, and let the ground interception fire and the interception fire on the orbital station stop it with all their might, and let the ground forces of the Federation prepare for ground warfare!"
"That's ... What the...? "In the silent cockpit that was close to the near-earth descent orbit due to the previous interception, and in the somewhat blurred vision of Arlando, who had gradually lost control of his body due to the excessive use of psychic devices, large bright points of light were approaching the Earth.
"I don't know what it is, but it's a man-made thing that emits heat, and it's falling towards the rail elevator, boy, are you okay?!" Rumba came from the new Zeon battleship, which had pierced through the sea of Minovsky particles and was rapidly approaching where Harman and Arlando were. LaRue's voice.
βγγγ Old... Hearing the voice of the cyan superstar, Arlando felt a warm current cover his body filled with tearing pain, and at once sent him into a lethargic hell.
"Is he alright?" Lamba. Larue's somewhat distorted voice reached Haman's helmet.
"It's overloaded with a high-intensity boost to the psychic device in a way we can't imagine, it's like a stuck...
"Shut up!" Jado's words were interrupted by Haman's shouting.
βγγγγγγ In any case, replenish the ammunition and fuel first, or you won't be able to do anything," Lamba interjected in a helpless and tired voice full of realism, "We are still about 780 kilometers from your position, and we will be there soon." β
"This γγγγγγ As soon as the communication ended, Jado was a little speechless when he turned to the departing green MA with a swift gesture, but he quickly turned his attention to the bright spots that were approaching the earth, "What is that? β
"Whatever it is, there's nothing that can be done right now, and he's going to have to get some emergency treatment as soon as possible." Haman shook his head and flew towards Silence.
βγγγγγγ For you who say things like "Finally free", what a change has been. Jado, who had been in a hurry to group together during the battle, finally spoke in the temporary silence of the two of them dragging Arrando's MS to the battleship round.
"Because he never wanted to guide me, but stood at the bottom of the abyss and climbed up with me, so..."
βγγγ I'm so happy for you. β
"Save it."
"You haven't changed on that, and I'm glad for you," Jado teased again, but the momentary relief on his face was quickly replaced by heaviness, "I hope the Ark's mission will be completed successfully." β
Harman only sighed noncommittally when he heard Jador's words.
The Ark was now approaching the formidable fortress with the help of the route cleared by the strange shelling of the Imperial Fortress's main guns.
"Oh my Godγγγγγ" Brad couldn't help but stand up and groan.
The silver-white fortress is like a mountain, making the people standing in front of it feel small, and the silver-white surface occasionally flashes the flash of what should be a posture adjustment device, and the surface layer of unknown metal material in tons reflects the cold light of the stars; And after magnifying the image, Brad's cold hair stands on end--- like human skin under a microscope, and the smooth surface has countless protrusions to the naked eye:
The triple particle turret should be a black hole for a large missile launch port, a small missile launch pad, a force field device, and a diffuse particle cannon...
"It's a huge battleship, right?"
The Cannon Mine Captain whispered like this, and no one objected. Brad shook his shocked mind and shouted at what he could think about at the moment:
"Prepare to break in, prepare to activate the GN Shield!"
The next moment, a torrential rain of shelling and missiles swept in.
Watch a corner of the fortress erupt like a volcano, symbolizing the light of artillery fire, before leaving Kira. The interim commander of the Zaft Observation Fleet, where Yamato and others returned to Plant, connected to the Plant:
[The final stage has begun, and we are on our way home]
γγγ
γγγ
γγγ
[The final stage has begun, and it is on its way home] Essalia. Jiuer glanced at the text message displayed on the screen, snapped his terminal shut, and the slight sound quickly broke the dullness in the room, and the short-haired congresswoman looked around at the people around her with a complicated expression, and then nodded.
"Speaker, more and more people are gathering to know the true intentions of [the visitors], and many are concerned about these ... There is no doubt that the enemy did not attack us. "In the meeting room of the Zaft army headquarters, someone is talking to Lux. Klein asks such questions.
"Is it time to make it public?" Lux closed her eyes tiredly.
"What to disclose, to expose the [Vision] seen by a group of so-called mentally unstable lunatics who call themselves the new humans, and then bring all the people of the Plant to ruin?" Such a female voice came from the doorway.
"Councilor Jiuer." Lux opened her eyes and nodded at the people who came in.
"Compared to the so-called evidence that the new humans saw, aren't you going to reveal anything else, Speaker?" Essalia. Joel questioned the current Speaker of Plant in a strong voice.
"Like, huh?!" Lux, who was about to ask a question, saw the figure standing behind Essalia, and suddenly sat up straight, and let out an angry voice.
"The Emperor greets you." An ethereal and elegant voice from standing in Esaria. From the mouth of the person behind Jiuer.
"Esalia, you !!" Congressman Elsman swooped to his feet.
"Stand back, I have a good relationship with your wife, and I don't want her to lose her son and then her husband in one day."
Five minutes later, watching the councillors who had been escorted out of the room by soldiers with guns, Athalia turned to look at the person who had been standing behind her:
"You can contact New Zeon."
"The message has been sent."
"What?! You don't use communication devices at all, and you don't... β
"That's the difference between the subjects of the Empire, and that's the advantage of thinking about the network, Lady Joor." Under the long pink hair that fluttered in an instant with the breeze from the opening of the conference room door, the words came out of his slightly cracked mouth, and the silver eyes shone with the same stinging light that Aithalia contained in the words.
At the same time, New Zeon, Char. Aznab threw aside the terminal that showed the message, and then looked at Nanayi with heavy eyes. Miguel, Nanayi nodded slightly.
"So, that's it..." The red comet let out a long, cloudy breath.
"He won't agree, he'll resist." Nanayi's voice came from behind Char.
"That's what I rely on," Char lowered her head deeply until her chin rested on the fabric, then lifted her head again, "if all this γγγγγ Well, in that case, all of us would have to rely on the choices we make now ... Deliver the order, Nanayi... β
"You've grown at last, Commander-in-Chief."
"Really? I don't think it's necessarily the other way around... Growing as a leader, as a human being ... Char shook her head bitterly.
Ten minutes later, Lamba rang out on the bridge of the new Zeon battleship, which was being refueled with an external mooring for the three Hamans. Larue's Roar:
"This order must be wrong, you check it again!"
"The lower officials have already checked it." The Chief of Communications could only reply to the enraged cyan superstar.
"Then check it out for a third time, damn it," Lamba roared, "the supply work continues, untie the MA of the EO mercenary who was tethered on the road outside, and get into low earth orbit, the big guy is modified and can lower on its ownγγγγγγ I hope it can be used in defense battles as well! β
At the lower end of the battleship, in the cockpit of the MA dragged by the cable, the mercenary codenamed [Blood Moon], who previously seemed to be the leader of the EO mercenary group that supported the Federal Army, turned off the terminal that listened to the broadcast in the ship, and then looked at the order from the employer, and pressed a button on the console.
βBang!β Blood Moon gestures toward the Imperial fortress.
In the fortress of the Empire, the interior of the battleship Ark, which had already broken through the internal passage of the fortress with the help of the GN shield and the Raiser-Sword, all the people felt a strange sense of suffocation: at the end of the passage in and out of the battleship, they did not see any people after breaking through the air lock and entering the inner layer of the fortress, or not even a single facility on the battleship that [served people].
"Is it still the outer layer?" Brad muttered.
"Nope."
An abrupt voice suddenly sounded in every megaphone and headphone of the Ark.
"Who?!"
"First Lord of the Empire, welcome to the Imperial Fortress --- Asgard."
"Open the door and let us in," the supersoldier sneered, "Then don't stop us at the door." β
"That's a necessary test, the Empire has calculated that your defenses can't intercept fire beyond the surface, unless one of you can exert their power to amplify your shield."
"Protoplasmist?!" The pupils of the GN shield that had just enlarged the surface of the battleship constricted.
"The original version of some of the Empire's powers, the Empire's codename [Protoplasm], also includes several others, such as the original version of the Empire's AI, the system you call [Mobile Dolls], or the subjects of the Empire who are now appearing in front of you."
"Subjects?!" Brad, who didn't see anyone in front of him, asked in surprise.
"Right above your heads."
Under the magnification of the optical image, everyone saw what was [overhead], a beehive-like dome composed of hatch structures, and in those grids there were beating pieces of flesh one by one.
"That's ... Subject?! β
"Before the Quantum Soul Program of the three types of citizens of the Empire settled, yes, when the citizens decide to get rid of the network and use such a body, these [seedlings] will develop into bodies in a short period of time according to their design, and the original version of the species that uses this technology is the individuals who inhabit the Plant."
βγγγγγγγγγ So....... What about Newtype technology? After a long silence, Brad suddenly asked.
"That's a matter explained by the emperor, come here."
The voice claiming to be the first lord of the empire disappeared, leaving the passengers of the Ark to look at each other, and it took a long time before Brad showed a smile:
"Is there any other choice, let's follow up!"
"Captain Bled, so..." The sound of an instant plugged into the bridge circuit.
"I know," Brad bowed his head, "if you can call out to those who are left behind, tell them that our chances are close to zero, and let them fight as hard as they can." β
"I do my best."
A familiar wave came from a distant place, causing Arrando, who had been sleeping in the darkness, to shake for a moment, and he struggled to open his heavy eyes, and then he saw hell:
Because of the explosion of the *0 distance hidden in the MA, a split second of death tore Rulula apart, the bright red hull was torn apart, Hill who was thrown from the captain's seat and Lamba who was thrown from the commander's seat next to him were engulfed in flames before they hit the ceiling, the propellant troughs on the deck were detonated one by one, and the keel was blown off and Rulula was split in two.
The coolness of death soon covered the flesh scorched by the flames, Ramba. The cries of the most proud students came from Larue's ears:
"Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
[That boy, is this how you see yourself... It would have been nice to realize it sooner... Well, live a healthy life... Arrando ... γ
The old man's rude but warm consciousness came straightforwardly, and the new human who had instinctively shouted that word before instantly regained control of the body:
"Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!h
The new human who had lost such an existence as his father for the second time roared between the sea of stars.
"It's almost over, just as humans will welcome back their fathers like children, so will you, win back your true father." Between the thrones of the Empire, the Emperor was getting up from the throne to talk to the Protoplasmist, stroking his chest and muttering.
