Andrew, who had sent away Xiao Ran and the three of them, looked up at the sun that was still hanging in the sky, and the dazzling light made him squint: "Berserker and his guardian?" And what will the encounter on the battlefield look like, oh, be careful of the people from Orb to Plant, what do you mean, guardian. ”

At the same time that Tiger Andrew was thinking about what Xiao Ran's last sentence meant, Xiao Ran, who was sitting in the car, also closed his eyes and thought: "The support is actually ahead of schedule, and it is not reinforcements from the Zaft Army base in Gibraltar on the earth, eight supplementary pilots and eight MS, this is not counting the two Gundams of the Duel Storm that are about to come from the Gibraltar base, what is this going to do!" If you count the support of Gibraltar, plus the current strength under Andrew, at least there are more than fifteen mechs, just with the Strike Gundam and the two Skylords, it is simply impossible for the Archangel to break out from here, and this is not the universe, how can there be so many routes for evacuation. ”

"That inexplicable support is also strange, it actually came directly from the plant itself, although I had prepared for it, but I didn't expect the participants to gradually join the plot so quickly, and now that there has been no larger-scale battle between the Earth Army and Zaft, it is not surprising that Zaft will send more soldiers in order to play a more powerful battle than the original plot so far, the Archangel and the Strike Gundam."

"And the soldiers of the plant are so small that they are not compared to the earth army at all, if it is a really good person, the chance of standing out in Zaft is very high, not to mention those participants with special abilities, Zaft's side is to investigate the true identity of those people is also very simple, without contacting the person from other aspects of the investigation, all participants are simply impeccable in terms of identity, that is to say, Zaft's side will definitely be quite comfortable with the participants in terms of unclassified tasks."

"Perhaps Zaft's current mission is in line with the lack of personnel and urgently needs to be supplemented by excellent personnel, and it is a non-confidential mission, and the Archangel number has met these conditions until now, in other words...... Are participants who join Zaft more likely to access the main story than participants of the Earth Army? Could this be the advantage of joining Zaft's camp? ”

"And the Earth Army, so far although there are many soldiers, the disadvantages of backward weapons can not be ignored, once the probability of victory in the battle is not high, so the participants who join the Earth Army also have an advantage, that is, the implicit evaluation reward of the main mission, the Earth Army is not stingy with the talents of MS pilots, presumably most of the participants who have joined the Earth Army have obtained higher military ranks, and the rewards of the system cannot be faked, that is something that can really strengthen their own strength, However, because the Earth Army has too many fronts, and it regards the Archangel as an outcast, it will be more difficult to get in touch with the main line, and both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. ”

Xiao Ran's closed eyes suddenly opened, he was stunned and sighed, and said in his heart: "No, no, what I should be thinking about now is how to get the Archangel out of here safely, how to think about it farther and farther, hey, this time is really troublesome, and I don't know if it's God's arrangement or luck, Luo will appear here in advance, can it be said that the key to the Archangel's departure this time is Luo and his recycling house team." ”

"It seems that I asked Luo to enhance and transform the Strike Gundam before, which is considered to be the right thing." Xiao Ran shook his head, with a sad face: "But if you want me to drive the Air Overlord to fight, this is my life, I have to think of a way." ”

The people arranged by Andrew sent Xiao Ran and the three of them to the city and left, and the things that Xiao Ran heard in Andrew's reception room just now also made him unable to let go, he could already be sure that among the eight additional pilots, there were definitely participants in the Zài, even if the number was not large, but as long as one or two people would bring huge trouble to the Archangel and him.

So as soon as she arrived in the city, she went straight back to the place where she had parked before, and Cagalli wanted to ask Xiao Ran several times on the road what Xiao Ran's previous actions meant, and even agreed to the tiger's invitation, and talked so happily that Cheng dù didn't say anything, and when he left, he had to hug him like a good brother.

But Kira, who has been in contact with Xiao Ran for a long time and knows a lot about Xiao Ran, after seeing Xiao Ran's contemplative expression, even if she wants to ask questions, she holds it all in her heart, and even stops Cagalli several times to avoid interrupting Xiao Ran's thinking, so she returns to the Archangel without saying a word.

As soon as the car was parked, Xiao Ran looked around, and after not finding the person he was looking for, he jumped out of the car directly, left Kira and Cagalli behind without saying a word, and hurriedly ran towards the bridge. When he came to the bridge, Xiao Ran didn't find the second person he was looking for, Maliu. After patting his head, it dawned on him that there was nothing to do at this time, and Marliu usually didn't stay on the bridge, so he wasted a few minutes and finally found her in the captain's room.

Xiao Ran's first words when he saw Maliu made Maliu frown: "Zaft has new reinforcements, there are quite a few of them, eight MS." ”

"How do you know!?" Marlu asked, frowning.

Xiao Ran didn't hide it and said directly: "We met the tiger today, something happened and we were invited by him to be a guest, and I heard it at that time. ”

"Urgent?" Ma Liu looked at Xiao Ran's serious expression, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "It's rare to see you speak so directly." ”

Ma Liu found Xiao Ran's nervousness and anxiety, and when he heard that Xiao Ran actually went to the tiger as a guest, he was also worried and surprised, but he didn't ask what happened, but used his own way to make Xiao Ran calm down and relax.

"You can still laugh at this time?" Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and was a little speechless.

"Am I going to be sad, to be nervous?" Ma Liu looked at Xiao Ran and shook his head lightly, and said, "Even if I do that, it's useless, and I can't solve the current problem at all." ”

Xiao Ran pursed his lips, he couldn't say to Ma Lu at all You don't understand such a thing, if there was no participant's storage, he Xiao Ran would not be serious to this point, and he would not come to Ma Lu in a hurry to report the situation, just like when he was in the universe, although Xiao Ran at that time was so shocked that he almost did something confused, now it is much better, at least calm down a lot, but even if he is calm, the tension and apprehension in his heart are still unavoidable, because Xiao Ran is not so confident in the face of the participants, There are so many skills that can be awakened by the participants.

"In short, be prepared, this battle may be more difficult than before, and if you are not careful, you will be threatened to be sunk." Xiao Ran patted Ma Liu's shoulder, and also felt that he was not too much of an influence on other people's feelings, so he put a smile on his face again: "Of course, I will also go and prepare for it, and I will not let the Archangel have an accident." ”

Ma Liu looked at Xiao Ran stunned, almost never saw Xiao Ran's forced smile, and after seeing this smile, he also seemed to feel that the situation might be more serious than he imagined: "I know, I will let the others prepare." ”

Xiao Ran left quickly, the Archangel is about to face a large number of enemies, and even the participants who are very likely to appear, and the current combat power alone cannot resist, and if he wants to obtain new combat power, there is only one person who can help him - Luo Joel.

It's also strange to say, I didn't see where Luo was when I came back just now, but when Xiao Ran came to Gnaku, he saw Luo Zheng and a large group of people from the maintenance team fiddling with the Strike Gundam, and Xiao Ran, who saw Luo, hurriedly trotted over: "Luo! ”

Luo looked at Xiao Ran happily, waved his hand at Xiao Ran, and then slowly climbed down the Strike Gundam, and when he walked in front of Xiao Ran, he smiled: "Come back, I went to find a lot of materials to come back today, and the transformed body will definitely surprise you when the time comes." ”

Xiao Ran knew the reason for Luo's absence before, nodded and said, "I said I couldn't find you just now, when will the body be transformed?" ”

"I can't tell you exactly when." Luo scratched his hair and turned his head to look at the Strike Gundam that had already taken apart several fills, and said: "The weapon interface on the shoulder needs to be transformed, and it must be strengthened to directly hang that huge physical sword, and the joints must also be moved, especially the waist, legs, and hands, I looked at Kira's boy's battle record, and I think these places limit him a lot, and there are other aspects, too much and too much can be completed in a short time." ”

"I'm sorry, but I still want to trouble you to complete the transformation of the body as much as possible." Xiao Ran frowned and said: "The current situation is a bit delicate, there are a lot of reinforcements on the Zaft side, and there are also reinforcements from the Gibradra base that are heading here, without the Assault Gundam, the Archangel is just a live target, heh, in fact, even if there is a Raid Gundam, I don't know if this body alone can resist." ”

"The situation is very serious?" Luo was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Ran nodded and said affirmatively: "Among the reinforcements are the reinforcements who defected to Zaft, as well as the two Gundams they snatched from Heliopolis, a total of at least fifteen or more, I don't think it will be wrong." ”

"One against fifteen!?" Luo's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "This is impossible, even if I complete the transformation of the body now, it is impossible for the Strike Gundam to do that, even if Kira has that combat record that seems to be too powerful, it will not be able to do it." ”

"That's right." Xiao Ran turned his head to look at Jean, who had stopped to the side and had no effect, and said, "If I can fight...... At least the Archangel number can be protected. ”

Suddenly, Xiao Ran turned his head to Luo: "Luo, please, I don't want to see the Archangel sunk like this, I don't want to see the people I like die here, and I don't want to see my friends and students destroyed along with the Archangel, I know you definitely have a way, please, help me." ”

After listening to Xiao Ran's words, Luo was silent for a long time, lowered his head and thought, and when he raised his head to look at Xiao Ran, his brows were still tightly furrowed: "To be honest, although I have an MS, that MS has been labeled as a waste merchant and cannot participate in the war between Zaft and the Earth Army, so I have no way to help you fight." ”

Hearing what Luo said, Xiao Ran felt a pimple in his heart, but before he could have other ideas, Luo's face changed instantly, with a smile on his face, and he said in a frivolous tone: "Hehe, although I can't fight for you, but you can fight by yourself, the people of the Archangel number have been getting along for the past few days, and I also think that everyone is a good person, and I am also willing to help them, and besides, aren't we friends, isn't it normal to help friends." ”

Xiao Ran was stunned for an instant, and saw that after Luo said hello to the people in the preparation class, he turned over and got into a car: "Come with me, I'll give you a gift." ”
