【。。。 I think... I want to believe once what you have always believed ... 】

Feeling the slight tension of the military uniform on his body, Saito put his ten fingers together and clenched his fist against his mouth and silently recited in his heart, along with other commands transmitted by photoelectric signals in the command post:

[Whether it's a scientific explanation or a miracle of the mind, listen to me... 】

The Federation soldiers in the hall did not hear their commander's prayers, and they still faithfully passed on the commander's previous orders.

Second Lieutenant Officer Siri of the Federal Army. Ruan immediately opened the communication loop after seeing the thumbs up of his subordinates who stretched out the signal line to be unobstructed:

"Federal Task Force, Federal Task Force, Operation Codename Balefire, I repeat ---Balefire, Balefire, Balefire!"

The signals composed of light and electricity swam out like fish along the protective cable to prevent interference in the command post, and flew into the air along the transmitting antenna like the first time a sea creature jumped out of the water hundreds of millions of years ago, and then passed through the air like a flying migratory bird, and finally landed in the hands of those waiting on the ocean like a blue bird that brought good news---

【Beacon! Balefire! Balefire! 】

Brad. Noah looked at the telegram in his hand, his face was full of joy and he glanced at his two lieutenants with sharp eyes, and the two lieutenants immediately saluted and replied in unison:

"The Action Order has been verified!"

"Very well, the fleet set sail, the target Izanagi coastal defense line, the mobile suit took to the air to prepare for an air defense interception operation, and the land strike fleet began to load and shoot the Zhuyuan !! according to the established position" Brad commanded in a high voice.

"Yes," Brad's lieutenant replied, turning to look sideways at his superior, "Your mood seems to have improved all of a sudden." ”

"Yes," Brad smiled and nodded, "Although he is a federal soldier, he is happy to be able to do something that does not violate the explicit orders and is in line with his own ideals and controversies." ”

With the high emotions of the commander, the Federal Task Force, which remained on the surface of the ocean, followed the guidance of the radio waves to break through the waves and sail towards the coastline of Orb; In the Poseidon-class battleship of the Federation, with a buzzing sound, the robotic arm lifted the shell weighing 6 tons from the ammunition compartment and placed it firmly on the conveyor rail; A mass-produced Mobile Suit based on the Z Gundam flutters its wings and soars into the sky.

At the other end of the same sky, Ravel, an OZ pilot who compelled himself to cruise at high altitude with some anxiety. The beating of the corners of Garros's eyes stopped with the sudden red light of the screen in front of him:

"A new target is down, Kaguya?"

"Yes, the goal is to blow up Kaguya, our goal is to stall the engineering convoy and create chaos." The onboard AI calmly echoes the pilot, and the driver seems to be able to make the sound of Mars.

"You plan the route, I'll control the attack route when you enter it," Ravel nodded, "But, Mio, why is the engineering team doing the construction work now?" ”

"It was the final construction work, and in order to prevent a sneak attack by agents and special forces, some of the core blasting parts were not installed in combination to each detonation point."

"Then let's go and make them safe!"

"You sound happy, the chemical composition in your body is also shown like this, why?"

"Because I'd love to get some nasty guys out of here," Ravel grinned, "isn't it nice to be able to do this without violating the Commander-in-Chief's mission objectives?" Come on, Mio! ”

The OZ new mobile suit hovering in the air suddenly stopped and aimed in one direction, her head and limbs shrank inward, the whole fuselage turned into a pike, the thruster behind her suddenly burst out with a burst of blue light, and the steel fuselage roared towards the target like a swooping swift.

Underneath the roaring trajectory, the soldiers of the Fallen Orb Army, who had recovered from their previous vertigo, looked at the commands displayed on their respective screens and felt their strength instantly return.

"What to do, Cagalli," Aslan. Sara looked at Cagalli through the communication loop, "If our troops are spread out, we will be able to get up to two mobile suits for almost every target... ”

"Then we have to go!! That's home!! The blood dripping down his fist was accompanied by the roar of Orb's lion cub.

With the roar of the commander, the mobile suits of the Orb Army flew towards the cities, swept over the land ignited by the flames of war, causing the surviving Orb people below to watch, either frightened or cautious, poking their heads or bodies out of their places of refuge, watching one by one the mobile suits rush to the battlefield.

"Father, father, it's our warriors who are back!!" On the steps outside a barely fortified dwelling, a teenage male shouted as he waved his arms to the sky.

In the room, the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa just rolled his eyeballs slightly, and an almost imperceptible murmur crawled out of his mouth:

"It doesn't matter, who is love, it's a living, what bullshit is peaceful and neutral, what bullshit we can escape and choose the life we want...

Such words floated over Orb, whispering under the roars of the warriors, and black smoke seeping out like a black mist from the mobile suits of the destroyed extremist forces, let Arlando go. The individual who broke free from the container of the genetic factor of Bakina saw a monster-like shadow in the quantum realm known as the induction field. Light-devouring darkness roamed throughout Orb, allowing Arlando to see the nothingness that led to the abyss.

Something had to be done, Arlando, who was walking on the land of Orb in an instant, shook his head softly as he looked at the people who were in despair:

[Only the whole can save the whole]

In the Shengyang ship of the Orb Army, Cagalli, who was dropped during the power failure, held the table with her bloodied hands and stared at the battle situation. Suddenly, she felt as if a gust of wind was blowing from behind, and she looked in amazement, and found a faint glow emanating from her body, as if a figure composed of a fluctuating light was appearing behind her in the form of a person she knew:

"Arlando, you?!"

[Orb is in danger, your warriors are in danger, you have to come with me]

As Allando said this, Cagalli felt as if she had been driven by something again, and she was led by Arlando into a realm she would not otherwise be able to set foot in. She walked above the earth in the company of Arlando, flew in the sky, looked at the desperate faces of some of Orb's people, listened to the numb words, tasted bitter tears, touched the blood that flowed, and smelled the smoke of gunpowder burning the country.

[Stop crying and shouting to stop this?] Standing in the sky, Arlando asked Cagalli beside her.

[It's pointless to fight against the torrent of time, and you won't feel hopeless, as long as you continue to struggle, keep in touch, and one day you can... But these people who only have themselves in their eyes don't understand," Orb's lion cub shook his head.

[Then, talk to your people.] With such thoughts, the two of them quickly fell to the ground.

“。。。 What bullshit can we run away from and choose the life we want... The man who had been sitting in the room suddenly felt as if a gust of wind was blowing, and after a moment of dizziness, he found himself still sitting on the couch, but the street in front of him had turned into a burning city, and in front of him stood the woman with blond hair like a lion.

Listen to me, people of Orb ... 】

The mother, who had been squatting in the underground bunker and shivering, was horrified, and then looked at the Supreme Representative of Orb in surprise, which was made up of light.

【。。。 The war is cruel and we have nowhere to run, and the whole earth will burn ... 】

The child, who was crazy about the death of his loved one, looked angrily at Cagalli, who was hallucinating.

【。。。 The invincible Federation fleet has fallen, the extremists are preaching greater hatred, taking over our homeland, and the dusk is approaching, the people of Orb ... 】

【。。。 Dusk is approaching, and the slow long night is just around the corner, unstoppable... 】

One, two, four ... Hundreds, thousands, of the remaining Orb dwellers gathered in Cagalli in another realm.

So what should we do, what should we do before the long night comes?] 】

Those who ignite our homeland know what they want, and those who ignite the world know what they want... 】

[Life has come from the darkness after hundreds of millions of years, has become colorful, and now it is going back to the darkness, these people who ignite everything want us to embrace the darkness peacefully, walk into the darkness, give up the roots of Orb, give up your roots, give up the roots of mankind!! 】

[That's simply [Choice]!! 】

[In their world, there is no color brought by choice, no surprise brought by choice, no pain brought by choice, no joy brought by choice, no !! 】

Why did you come to Orb? 】

Because you can choose a different path, don't you?! 】

And now, the long night without choice is in front of us, unstoppable... 】

[It seems that life comes from the darkness, and returning to the darkness is the conclusion of wisdom, as if we should think that everything is irreparable, and embrace the night in obedience... 】

[This may be the last choice... 】

[Serious old man, do you want to choose to embrace the night; O good mother, do you choose to embrace the night? Wild boy, do you want to choose to embrace the night... 】

[Old man, think of the light that you have walked through in your life; Mother, think of the young life that swells in your bosom like a wave; Boy, think of the tomorrow you are looking forward to!! 】

Roar, O people of Orb, roar toward the approaching night!! 】

[Burn, O people of Orb, and light the lamp that will usher in the next dawn in the darkness!! 】

In the cockpit of the pagans in flight, fruit. Vitasky felt as if a scene had spread out in front of him--- a Wingdam was aiming at him from below, guided by some inexplicable force, and the heretic rolled around, dodging the beam of light from below, and threw a projectile backwards without looking back, piercing straight through the heretics below.

"It was... In the cockpit, Guo, who had recovered from the high-G overload, gasped, "What's that?!" ”

In the image below captured by the pagan monitor in the air...

"Father, light... The boy saw his father come out of the house, pointing to the sky and gesturing with the earth.

"yes, light... The father, who had refunded the fee before, responded in the same murmuring whisper.

Contains the murmur of fiery existence.

"And the light I saw before, it's like... Watching the flaming light rise into the sky, the boy remembered the figure that had sprayed the earth with red light on the sky to spray the rain of death.

"Haumea," the middle-aged man thought, touching his child's head, "Haumea, rain death on the earth as a demon, and then fall to the earth as the death in her body is exhausted, and then... ”

"And then?" The boy looked at his father, whose face seemed to be able to ignite a flame, and asked with a blazing expression.

"Then he will rise into the sky again with hope and life, this time, as a hero!!"

The young man looked at his father's arm pointing to the sky, and a golden figure that seemed to be burning with light was roaring in the sky that shook the heavens and the earth:

"Orb, wake up!! Human, wake up!! Wake up!!! ”
