Chapter Twenty-Eight: Destruction, Arutamis
The second part of the helpless journey Chapter 28 Destruction, Arutames
The first thing I did when I got up was to pull Kira up in the corner, a boy whose brain couldn't turn was just struck by Frey's words. In fact, Kira is very smart, he should have seen that Frey only said that in a panic to protect Sey, but in an emergency, the person he likes can easily sacrifice himself for others, which is really worse for Kira, a child who is new to love, than being betrayed directly.
I didn't say anything after pulling him up, just slapped him the back and said, "What are you doing, we need to go back to MS immediately." Then without saying a word, he walked towards the gate.
Maliu shouted at my back, "Shall we take Major General Garcia with us?" ”
I waved my hand impatiently, "Do you still want to ask me about this?" Anyway, we don't lack food for him alone, and it should be a great credit to rescue a major general. ”
As if he had suddenly gained courage, Major General Squid stood up with all his strength and shouted: "No, let me go, it is my duty to guard Arutaimis, it has been like my wife for so many years, if I were to leave Arutaimis, I would rather die." ”
I turned my head and saw an unusually firm face, although this guy had done such vicious acts as detaining his colleagues, violently extorting confessions, etc., and he was extremely cowardly after being captured, but he did not lose the true character of a soldier at the moment of life and death, and my impression of him suddenly changed a lot.
"Then let him go." I sighed slightly and said to Maliu, "Since Major General Garcia insists on returning to his post, let's give him a chance." ”
Maliu nodded, untying Major General Garcia.
The bald major general moved his sore wrist, slowly walked up to me, and said, "Although I have suffered humiliation at your hands, I am still very grateful to you, it is you who gave me a last chance to prove that I am still a soldier. ”
I also replied to him solemnly: "Although I despise your character and behavior very much, as a soldier, Your Excellency has proved his sentiments with his actions. Unfortunately, we still have our way to go and are no longer able to fight alongside Your Excellency at this last moment. ”
Major General Garcia silently gave me a military salute and left the Archangel number firmly.
"Let's go, Kira, we only have fifteen minutes, and then the other two MSs of Zaft will be in for support."
Colonel Chicken Ass is really trustworthy, and there is no military on the Archangel at this time, but it may be that they have no time to take care of this place. Although the MS warehouse was full of various equipment brought by the technicians of Arutaimis, fortunately they didn't have time to disassemble the STRIKE and ATTACK, and Kira and I quickly got into the cockpit and activated the OS and attacked.
As soon as we drove out of the Archangel, we were very lucky to encounter the thunderbolt that was destroying everywhere, and he also found the Archangel and was rushing towards us, but as soon as he saw our two MS attack, he quickly turned around and drilled into a smaller launch pipeline next to it.
I laughed dumbly, and did not hesitate to retreat when I saw a strong enemy, and then took the opportunity to attack the place where the enemy could not take care of it, this is a typical Nicol style of fighting, because of this way of fighting, he was ridiculed as a coward by Yitzhak and Diack more than once, but because of my praise, he still stubbornly persevered in it, and I didn't expect that I, a teacher, would also suffer one day.
Although Nikol's tactics are not flashy enough and difficult to be recognized by the attacking Yitzhak and others, it is definitely an excellent tactical strategy. We really don't have the time to entangle with him now, and if he rushes up and slashes as soon as we meet, it will only take a minute at most for Kira and me to repeat the same mistake last time, so this tactic of attacking elsewhere to achieve the goal of attracting us is indeed the most effective method he can use at the moment.
In this short period of time, Marlou and the others have successfully activated the Archangel at nearly twice the speed of usual, and it seems that being in a desperate situation is indeed a good way to explore potential. Kira and I stood on the wings of the Archangel in the STRIKE and ATTACK, guarding against possible raids by Thunderbolt, but Nikol's cautious personality helped us, and the Archangel was able to sail away from the fortress of Arutamis in the face of burning smoke and parts that could fall at any moment.
Behind him, Arutamis was farther and farther away, like a star desperately burning and about to run out of life, emitting a brilliant and dazzling brilliance, and the grace and coldness of the emerald before could no longer be seen. Marlu was grieving, too, but they were saddened by the death of thousands of loyal United Earth soldiers, and I thought of another aspect. Although he is not an important strategic location, the Zaft Army's attack on Earth has been invisibly less scruples since then, which probably also indicates that the battle between Earth Union and PLANT will escalate faster, resulting in the fall of more life.
At this point, Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu gave us the order to return, awakening me from my contemplation. I can't help but be a little funny, since I was reborn, it seems that the whole person has become sentimental, maybe this thing that is very absurd in the eyes of ordinary people has been experienced, so I unconsciously think a lot more highly of myself. In fact, my status in this world may be a little higher than in my previous life, but the risks I face are also proportionally increased, but I have always been self-willed and reckless in the past, and now I finally understand what kind of mood Miss Lux was worried about me in the first place.
Thinking of Miss Lux, I began to miss the February City where I grew up again, the last time I went back in a hurry, there were many people who were in a hurry to see each other in a hurry, and there were Liao Gel and Lilith and others who passed by in various circumstances, and I haven't seen each other for nearly six years, I really don't know when the next meeting will be.
But when I think about the current situation, I can only sigh at the wonder of fortune. Since the departure of the Archangel, I have obviously asked to leave several times, and Malu has agreed again and again, but the plan has always died under various unexpected circumstances, how long will this wonderful journey last?
