Chapter 34: The Battle of Confluence
The second part of the helpless journey, chapter 34, the confluence battle
C.E.712/7
In Miss Lux's cabin, I was sitting comfortably against the wall on the floor. My life has been quite nourishing these days, not only have I been fed with good food and drink, but I have not had to do the tiring work, and Miss Lux will improvise a song when she is happy. I was surprised by how attentive Aslan was, and it seemed that he had a lot of affection for Miss Lux.
At this time, Lux had just finished singing a new song, came up to me, crouched down and asked, "What's wrong?" Leonard, you seem to be a little absent-minded today? ”
When I opened my eyes, I saw Miss Lux's dreamy beautiful face looking at me curiously less than twenty centimeters away from me, and I couldn't help but be a little embarrassed to reply, "I'm sorry, Miss, I'm thinking about something, so I'm a little distracted." ”
"Didn't you tell you not to call me that?" Lux tried to pretend to be angry, but her pouting was cute.
I laughed, "Okay, Lux, I'll take care of that later." ”
I was really distracted just now, the reason is one thing that Dole secretly told me when he was delivering food, yesterday afternoon the Archangel had made contact with the Eighth Fleet advance team sent by the Earth United Forces, and it is expected that it will officially meet this afternoon, if we want to escape, the best time is when the two sides are handed over and reorganized during the convergence period.
I groaned for a moment, looked up and said, "Lux, what do you think of these few days at the Archangel?" ”
"That's good." Lux tilted her head and thought for a moment, looking very cute: "The people on the ship are all good people." Mister Kira, Mr. Sey, Mr. Dole, Miss Millie, Captain Marliu, and Captain Mu are all very nice people. Although Lieutenant Bucky Lulu is always cold, she is also doing her duty, but she is a very gentle person in private. There's also Miss Frey, who, although she is somewhat prejudiced against the new humans, is not a bad person either. Ah, there's still ......" As soon as Lux said it, she had a tendency to stop, as if she wanted to say all the members of the Archangel number again before she was willing, and I could only stop her with a wry smile.
"Lux, I just wanted to ask you, how would you feel if we left here?"
"Leave?" Lux looked thoughtful, "Yes, if I am taken to the headquarters of the Earth Army, my father and everyone at PLANT will be very embarrassed." ”
"Yes, although all of you in the Archangel are good people, we are in different positions after all, and if you want to get along with them amicably, I am afraid that you can only wait until the end of the war. Although Lux is not from the military, you are the daughter of the president of the Supreme Council of PLANT, and the Earth Army will want to hold you in your hands so that PLANT has some scruples about acting in the future. ”
"I'm sorry, Leonard, but I'm still causing you trouble. If you didn't have me, you would have been able to live an ordinary life in peace and not be locked up. Lux looked at me guiltily. Seeing her apologetic eyes, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, in fact, I should really feel guilty. In order to prevent Lux from getting involved in these dirty things, I didn't say anything about being a spy for Siddle by the way, but when I really faced Lux, I couldn't help but ask myself why I was hiding this from her, and I am afraid that it was to maintain my insignificant image in her heart.
For the rest of the day, I was not in high spirits, and after a few words with Lux, I silently waited for the moment of convergence. Unexpectedly, after waiting for three hours, what was greeted by the alarm on the radio that "the enemy ship is approaching, and all personnel are ready for combat at the first level".
"Huh? Did something happen? Confused, Lux stood up and walked to the door: "Hello, can you open the door for me?" ”
"Wait a minute, Lux...... "I was trying to stop her from doing something misleading, when Haro's eyes flashed twice, and the electronic lock on the door suddenly opened.
Lux stuck her head out the door and looked out, waving her hand and shouting, "Hey, Mr. Kira." ”
After a rush of footsteps, Kira appeared in the doorway with an anxious face, and saw a curious Lux and me with a bitter face behind her.
Facing the two who should have been imprisoned, Kira was a little dumbfounded, "You guys...... How do you guys? Odd...... What the hell is going on with this lock? ”
"Maybe it's because the people in the logistics department of the United Earth Forces are greedy and buy fake and shoddy products." I smiled wryly and said a clumsy explanation, even though I couldn't believe it.
Over there, Lux was already asking, "What's going on, it seems to be suddenly lively." ”
"The advance fleet has been attacked by the Zaft army, and the captain has decided to rush to support."
"Huh? So, is there going to be a war? Lux said in surprise.
"To be precise, it's already started, I'm sorry, I'm going to hurry up and get ready to go, you must not come out casually." After saying that, he was about to leave in a hurry.
"Kira." Before he left, I shouted to stop him: "This time it's just you and Captain Mu, you must be careful." Kira gave me a reassuring gesture and quickly disappeared into the hallway.
Lux and I closed the door and quietly went back to our room and sat down.
I was a little discouraged and said to myself, "I really underestimate you, Law, I didn't expect you to get ahead of us so quickly." ”
Lux heard me talking to myself and asked, "Is there something wrong?" Leonard? ”
"I think we're probably going to be delayed in leaving." I said helplessly: "At such a time, the members of the ship must be on tense alert at all times, and it is impossible for us to run out silently. ”
"Oh." Lux said a little indifferently, and it seemed that all the decisions were left to me.
I can't be as easy as her, and my mind is constantly churning with some messy things.
Now that Law is here, Aslan shouldn't be far away, he now knows about the shipwreck of Lux's spaceship, is he worried about her? Did he know that Miss Lux was in the middle of their attack?
Since Lao dared to attack the advance fleet with the Archangel, then he must have been completely prepared, and his strength will always not be too weak, but the Archangel's side has greatly reduced its strength because of the lack of me, I don't know if Kira can cope with it?
Through the cabin, I could hear the rumbling of the cannons, and the vibration of the Archangel never stopped.
Time passed minute by minute, about half an hour later, suddenly there was a sound of the door opening, and Lux rushed up to meet it, and saw Maliu, who was embarrassed and wanted to speak outside the door.
