Part IV: The Beginning of the Angel Battle: Chapter 9: The Dignity of the Soldier

I made such an impassioned speech that not many would listen to me. The Earth Army and the Z.A.F.T. Army basically did not move, only a small number of Z.A.F.T's MS and sporadic Earth Army warships retreated to the rear. It seems that Kira's persuasion and my speech did not have the effect it should have had on the two armies, after all, we are not high-ranking officials, and we have no status in speaking. But what now? If there is a self-explosion at the Alaska base, the consequences will be unimaginable. Most of the Z.A.F.T. forces have invaded the Alaska base, and if it blows itself up, nearly half of the Z.A.F.T. troops sent here will be wiped out.

Just when I was worried, suddenly, "Alarm! Earth Army, Alaska base appears with a high-energy reaction! Alert! Earth Army, Alaska base appears with a high-energy reaction! ......" warned of the reconnaissance system of the battleship. Hearing the warning, the outlying troops hurriedly began to evacuate the vicinity of Alaska, and Law also ordered a rapid retreat to the rear. It seems that it is still too late, I silently thought to myself, now that the alarm has been issued, it means that the time for self-detonation is not far away. The troops on the periphery of our Alaska base may not be affected by the escape now, but the troops who are fighting over the Alaska base are no longer able to escape. As the alarm accelerated, Alaska was surrounded by reddish high magnetic energy in an instant, and the Z.A.F.T. army, which was rapidly expanding its range to the surrounding area and deep into the enemy camp, disappeared in an instant. Kira, it looks like we've failed. I looked out the window at Freedom, which was floating near the Archangel, and my heart began to feel unsettled. Let's go, take advantage of the Z.A.F.T's chaos, get out of here, get out of here......

"Leonard, it seems that your persuasion with the Freedom pilot didn't help." Lao said lightly, as if the soldiers who died in Alaska had nothing to do with him, "Actually, as a soldier, you should also know: as a soldier, fleeing on the battlefield is a great harm to the dignity of the soldier for the soldier!" And you, who actually asked thousands of soldiers here to flee from the battlefield, this kind of 'feat' is only done by you. Law said angrily and amusefully, but from the look on his face, it seemed that things were going according to his wishes.

"Don't you feel at all when you see so many people dying?" I asked helplessly.

"Then what do you think I should feel and cry bitterly? This is the battlefield, and this is the war, you know? The inevitable thing about war is that someone dies. Besides, I am not related to those people, and even if I have a relationship, I will become non-existent on the battlefield. "Lao said seriously, it seems that I asked him in vain.

"Now I don't have anything to say to you." I turned my head to look out the window, where the Archangel number and Freedom were fading away. "I'm sorry, Kira, but now that I'm not the same as before, I can't meet you. If Millie and the others are still on the Archangel, you have to protect them. I thought silently in my heart. However, they are the garrison of the base, so if they leave. It's equal to ...... Violation of military law. In this day and age, the consequences of committing such a thing can be very serious. It seems that they will not be returning to the Earth Army now. Now neutrals - Orb should be where they go. If they go to Orb, then my heart can be put to rest. After all, a neutral country with great strength, neither the Earth Army nor the Z.A.F.T Army wants to provoke it.

"Help me connect with Speaker Zara." Law spoke suddenly, interrupting my train of thought.

"Cruz, what's wrong with Alaska? Why can't I connect? On the other end of the communication came the somewhat angry voice of Speaker Zara.

"Report to the Speaker, Alaska's army is almost completely wiped out." Law replied calmly, not as if he was unfazed by Speaker Zara's anger.

"What do you say? Almost all wiped out! What does that mean exactly? "Judging by Speaker Zara's voice, he must be angry.

I leaned into Law's ear and whispered, "You talk slowly, I'm not interested in this." I'll go back to my room first. By the way, I'll probably leave first tomorrow. Let's do it first," I turned and walked out of the command room, "Cruz, what the hell are you doing......" I heard Speaker Zara reprimanding before closing the door. Hey, it's rare that he has been disciplined sometimes. Walking out of the command room, I didn't go straight back to my room, but turned to Platina and Vicker's room.

"Ahh What's the matter, sir? Wicker got up from his bed and asked.

"What about Platina? Isn't he here? "I found out that Platina was not in the room, where did this kid go.

"He seems to have told me that he can't sleep and goes out for a walk. Kindness...... It seems to say so. Wicker said blankly, "You have something to do with him?" ”

"Yes, but it's not important. I'm just telling you both, tomorrow you'll be back to P.L.A.N.T to join the Artemis. Help me tell Miss Talia to tell her to help me with that. ”

"Huh? What's that? I don't understand. Wicker scratched his head and said, "And, sir, are we going back so soon?" I haven't killed it yet! Wicker complained.

"It's an order, wait for Platina to come back and tell him. And I didn't go back with you. I glared at Wicker and walked out of his room.

"Sir, I'll go with you! The chief ......, "I can't take care of that kid at Wicker's pleas, and I'll be able to take him with me."

Back in my room, standing in front of the mirror, I suddenly noticed the attachment that Luna had given me on my chest. I don't know what happened to that girl......
