The beginning of the fourth angel battle, Chapter 29: Mission: Pursuit of the Eternity

Back on the Artemis and see everyone busy. It seems that the pre-war preparations are already in full swing. Just as I was about to go to my room to rest, an alarm went off.

"Di~~Di~~"

"What's going on!?" I grabbed a soldier next to me and asked.

"Report to the captain, I don't know very well. All of a sudden, the alarm went off. The soldier replied.

"Leonard, come here." In the distance, Adjutant Thalia called out to me.

"What's wrong, what's the matter?" I walked up to her.

"It's a communication from headquarters, you should hurry to the bridge and take a look. It seems to be a matter of urgency. Talia explained.

………………

The bridge of the Artemis.

"What's wrong? What about the communication of the headquarters? "When I felt the bridge, I saw Uncle Brienney looking around, and as soon as he saw me, he dragged me away.

"Hurry up, it's Speaker Zara's order, you hurry up." Uncle Brienney dragged me to the communications equipment. The figure on the communication screen is not Speaker Zara.

"Speaker Zara, do you have any orders?" I asked.

"Captain Leonard, there's an urgent task for you." Speaker Zara looked serious.

"What is the mission?" I was vaguely worried, and I didn't know why.

"Aslan Zara, a traitor to the Z.A.F.T. army, was recently abducted by suspected Kleinists. At the same time, just now, the new battleship parked in the armament depot, the Eternity, was suddenly hijacked and had fled to the Yajin Defense Circle. I suspect that there are very likely that there are 2 P.L.A.N.T Felons on board the Eternity - Lux Klein and Aslan Zara. Now I order you to lead a small team of MS to intercept it, be sure to stop it......" After a pause, Speaker Zara suddenly looked cold, and continued: "If you can't successfully intercept it, agree to destroy it." Speaker Zara looked at me coldly, "Captain Leonard, I know that you used to have a good relationship with Lux Klein and Aslan Zara, but now they are enemies, I hope you can understand and don't let me down." As soon as he finished speaking, Speaker Zara shut down the communication.

Damn, what now. Speaker Zara ostensibly sent me in pursuit, but in fact he wanted to test my loyalty. I have super MS piloting skills, and it is good to send me in pursuit, and if I can successfully complete the mission, it will prove that I will be loyal to him; And if I don't succeed in completing the mission, I guess I'll be suppressed by Speaker Zara. After all, a person who is a threat to himself but will not be completely loyal to himself is still very threatening. Now, what am I going to do...... Let's talk about it if you want to attack......

I boarded the Knight in twos and twos, and the system was activated and ready to strike. "Open the barn door, and I'll attack alone. Platina and Wicker followed, but they didn't have to catch up, just make a show. ”

The bin door opened. "Leonard von Finterrad, Knight, attack!"

I turn on the chameleon system, and the color of the body starts to change with the surrounding environment (Note: If you do not use the full chameleon system in battle, the performance of the body will not be affected.) In battle, if you want to use the chameleon system without affecting the performance of the body, the maximum power of the system cannot be greater than 20%, and the effect is that the outline of the body is still visible, that is, the color will change. Soon, after flying at high speed for a while, approaching the Yakin Defense Circle, the shadow of the Eternity was spotted.

I opened the information I had just sent from the headquarters before I left. Immediately, Knight's display screen appeared with the information of the Eternity.

"Ship Name: Eternity

Type: MS Special Support Ship

Manufacturer: Zaft (Z.A.F.T)

Dimensions: 300 meters long

The maximum number of mounts: Four MS

Equipment & Design Features: None

Stationary weapons: missile launch pads; Beam cannon ×1, fixed in front of the bridge; Machine gun X2;; "Igelstellung" 75mm automatic multi-tube CIWSX12

Weapons Available: None

Additional Equipment: None

Technology:

Zaft's transport, the Eternity, was designed specifically to support the ZGMF-X09AJusticeGundam and ZGMF-X10AFreedomGundam. IN ADDITION TO SERVING AS A BASE FOR TWO MOBILE SUITS, ETERNITY ALSO SERVES AS A STORAGE PLATFORM FOR METEOR. The Eternity has an internal repair depot and a linear catapult for the containment and release of the Gundam, however, the METEOR is parked on the outer wall of the forward hull. As a transport, the Eternity is armed only with missile launchers, machine guns, and beam cannons. However, at the request of engineers from the Infinity Group lurking in PLANT, the propulsion engine was improved, which further increased the speed of the battleship, and the "Igelstellung" 75mm automatic multi-barreled CIWS was added, and the battleship hangar was renovated so that the battleship could carry 4 MSs. ”

I drove Knight to speed over, and a strange pink battleship appeared in front of me. The battleship does not seem to have a main gun, but only relies on the missiles inside the ship to fend off the attack. In the distance, the Eternity is entangled with some Gates (a new mass-produced MS that the Z.A.F.T military has just researched and manufactured), according to the information, the Eternity is not a combat ship, it is a support type of supply ship, and its combat capability is not very strong. However, because it is a new type of battleship, it is very fast, and it can still be supported under the siege of a small number of MS. I took advantage of the chameleon system to follow the Eternity. Ten minutes later, the Gates besieging the Eternity were destroyed, and there were no other MSs around the Eternity. I canceled the chameleon system.

A silvery-white MS suddenly appeared in front of the Eternity. The people on the Eternity seemed to be taken aback as well, and after a few seconds of stillness, a hundred and ten missiles were fired at me. I raised my beam gun and blew up all the missiles that flew in. This move seemed to shock the battleship, and the next wave of attacks did not come out for a long time.

"Unknown MS please answer, what is your purpose!? Since you don't plan to attack this ship, why are you stopping us!? A strong male voice came from the international communication channel.

"......" I didn't answer.

"Repeat...... Unknown MS please answer, what is your purpose!? Since you don't plan to attack this ship, why are you stopping us!? The voice rang out again.

This time, I didn't choose to be silent, I opened my mouth and replied, "This is the Z.A.F.T. belongs to Leonard Team Captain Leonard von Finterrad, who has been ordered to pursue the Eternity......"
