Part 2: The Journey of Helplessness, Chapter 19, Encounter, and the Eve of the Battle

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, combat readiness of the first level.

Those with military status are immediately in place. ”

As the enemy attack alarm was remembered, the entire battleship immediately became chaotic, and the only few soldiers on the Archangel hurriedly rushed up the corridor. In the air after they passed, there was a faint whining voice from the military officer with eyes and popcorn-like hair: "What the hell, I just joined the army and ......"

Immediately after that, the radio heard the voice of the controller Jackie Juncao like a debt collector: "Kira Yamato, and Rayser Rogge, please rush to the bridge as soon as possible......"

"Really, can't you let people take a break?" Although I wanted to be passive and slack off, I remembered the promise I had just made to Maliu, so I had to run quickly in the direction of the bridge. Around the corner I spotted Kira's hurried figure and hurried two steps forward to walk side by side with him.

"How's it going, Kira, are you resting?" I asked as I patted him on the shoulder.

"Well, much better, thank you for that." Kira said to me gratefully.

"That's it, just want to open up some things." Seeing Kira cheer up, I was also happy for him, and in order to give him a buffer time for his emotions, I decided to hide my speculation about Frey for the time being.

"Hey, Kira, Lesser, did you get orders to go to the bridge?" Dole's greeting was heard in front of him.

I looked up and saw that several of them were wearing Combine uniforms, and they looked eager to try. I frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" Why are you dressed like this? ”

Dole said excitedly: "We also want to do something on the ship, and we have to wear a military uniform when we enter the bridge, don't we?" ”

Sai also smiled and said, "We can't just let the two of you fight, we also have to do our part." ”

"Come on, you two, remember that we will support you on the ship." Millie waved her hand energetically, her fists clenched as if she were holding hope.

"Thank you, you ......" Kira, a sentimental fellow, was moved again, with a tearful expression in her eyes. I always felt that the speed of his expression change was a little incredible, and I really didn't know which of the two words to use to describe him, sentimental or sissy.

A few more words of encouragement were spoken, and finally they waved goodbye. Looking at their gradually disappearing figures, Kira clenched her fists with a touched face, and assured herself with enthusiasm: "Thank you, everyone, I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations of me, and I will definitely do my best to protect the Archangel...... Ouch, it hurts. Rayser, why are you hitting me? ”

Kira looked at me innocently with her head covered.

Seeing my idiot-like expression, Kira cautiously asked, "What's wrong, Lesser, did I say something wrong?" …… Ouch, why are you hitting me again? ”

"I want to sober you up, you idiot." I flicked my fist in exasperation and stared at the guy who didn't know why.

Looking at Kira's blank eyes, I had to start educating him deeply: "Are you very touched by Dore's actions?" ”

"Yes, they didn't need it, but they did what they shouldn't have done."

"Then you should drive the MS to fight the enemy army?"

"But if I don't fight, everyone will be in danger." Kira retorted unconvinced.

"Lord, save this fool." I covered my head and wailed, "Do you know what kind of work you do, what kind of work do they do?" ”

"But we're all working hard for everyone's safety, isn't that the case?"

"Of course not." I couldn't help but tap on his head again: "There's a big difference between them doing support work and you're fighting the enemy on the front lines. They can be passionate, they can be passionate. But you can't, what is needed in the fight is absolute calm, and running out recklessly like you can only give the other party an appetizing meal, you know? As a front-line combatant, it's like dancing on a tightrope, a little breeze is enough to plunge you into the abyss, if you go to battle with a burden. The only result is to add a simple number to the battle table of one of the enemy pilots. ”

"I see, I'm sorry to worry you, Rayser." Kira bowed her head guiltily.

"It's okay, you just remember that after you go to the battlefield, you don't want to know anything other than fighting?"

Before we knew it, we had already walked into the standby city, where Captain Mu La Flagg was already waiting, and when he saw us, he greeted us with a smile: "What? Have you finally made up your mind? ”

Kira nodded firmly, and I looked at the strange creature with dismay. The more I came into contact with this person, the more I felt that I could not see through him, but strangely I always had a strange feeling about him, and I always felt that I should have met him, although I was sure that there was no such person as him in my memories of the two lives before and after.

"How about it, Kira, it can be said that this is your first real battle, the first two times were aimed at breaking through, but this time it is a head-to-head confrontation, are you mentally prepared?" Mu asked with a serious expression.

Kira nodded and replied, "No problem, Raysor taught me a lot just now, I think I can adjust my mentality." ”

"Is that so?" Mu glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally and said, "Did you learn from Lesser, he should be able to teach you something very useful, you have to learn hard." ”

Yin and yang weird guy, I cursed in my heart.

After talking to Kira, Mu walked up to me and said, "Our situation is not good now, a Nazca-class high-speed battleship in front has firmly blocked our route, and there is a Laurasia-class MS carrier in the back in hot pursuit. The distance between the two enemy ships is constantly shortening, and when the distance between them is reduced to a certain extent, the ship is facing the danger of being flanked in front and rear, so we can only attack as soon as possible and destroy an enemy ship to weaken the enemy's strength. This is the battle plan we just set, do you see any problems? ”

"Generally fine." I thought about it for a moment and replied, "But why did the Zaft army catch up so quickly?" Didn't Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu say that the decision to go to Arutamis was your secret route? ”

"Who knows? Probably because Lou Lou Cruz is too powerful. Mu said with a wry smile: "We have already launched a lot of decoy bombs on various routes to the moon base, but I didn't expect him to catch up so quickly." ”

"That's when you made a big mistake in the first place." I gloated and laughed, "It's impossible to use these little tricks on that guy." ”

"Oh? Are you familiar with Lou Lou Cruz? ”

"No, it's just been known for a long time." I said lightly.
