686 The Dunes of the End

Outside, there was a sandstorm sweeping the world, and even if they stayed in the nearby valley, everyone in the Archangel who was hiding from the sandstorm could still hear the terrifying sound of the sandstorm hitting the outer armor of the Archangel.

In order to avoid the sandstorm, the Dawn Desert, which had just joined forces with the Archangel to repel the Bartfield team, also boarded the Archangel under the arrangement of Marliu. They were arranged one by one in residential quarters that were never full. At this time, Seb and Cagalli, who had settled in the group, did not stay in the living quarters with peace of mind, waiting for the sandstorm to pass. Instead, they hurried to Gnaku.

Just as the two of them walked into Gnaku, they suddenly heard a crisp sound. It sounded like someone had been slapped, and before Seb and Cagalli could react, they saw the lieutenant named Bucky Lulu holding his right hand into a fist in his left hand, bowing his head, and hurriedly rushing into the aisle next to him and disappearing.

Cagalli looked back at the crowd around the MS, which seemed to be called VF-25, with a puzzled face. In the midst of everyone's heckling actions that looked extremely strange in Cagalli's eyes, she grabbed Kira, who had just stepped down from under the Strike Gundam, and asked, "Kira." What the hell is going on?! ”

Kira was a little confused at first, but when Cagalli opened her mouth to ask, she immediately realized what Cagalli was asking. "It was Major Graham's VF-25 that was badly damaged in the previous battle, and after I piloted the Strike Gundam to help recover it, I saw Lieutenant Bucky Lulu arguing with Major Graham who had just stepped off the mech, and the result was that Lieutenant Bucky Lulu suddenly slapped Major Graham."

"That's it?" Cagalli blinked, and she seemed to sense something terrible at that moment. But the boy standing in front of her was also in a state of ignorance. After all, this teenager is still just a pure teenager, and he has not been pajamined by someone like in the original book. What's more, after someone had already joined up with the Eighth Fleet, he was sent back to the Atlantic Federation by Admiral Halbarton with privilege and priority. Thus, the fate of the two changed.

Cagalli, who was a little expectant, looked at Kira with a blank expression, so she didn't say anything and looked around directly. Sure enough, Cagalli saw a slightly familiar figure. She remembered that the girl seemed to be called Miriaria, right? Looking for her should be able to satisfy those little expectations in your heart. Cagalli, who had made up her mind, left Kira alone, ran over and pulled Mirialia and muttered.

Just as the two little girls were muttering, the crowd led by Mu was ridiculing Graham, who was flushed on the left side of his face. I saw Mu Yi hugging Graham's shoulders and sneering: "I can't think of it!" When did our Major Graham take that iceberg down? I've been in contact with you for longer than you! ”

Despite the hot pain on his face, Graham still didn't take it to heart. As for Mu's ridicule, Graham just smiled faintly. "When fate comes, it is natural to embrace it without hesitation."

Hearing Graham's calm words, Mu couldn't help but whistle and sigh. "Worthy of our Major Graham."

With Mu's sigh, the onlookers ridiculed again. At this time, Kira, who seemed a little worried, squeezed through the crowd and came to Graham and Mu. "Major Graham, I have something to ask you."

Graham didn't respond immediately, but after seeing Kira's increasingly solemn look, Mu dispersed the crowd and made way for him.

"Let the VF-25 be left like this! Even if you need to repair it now, you can't do it. Also, the system has been locked by me. Graham nodded to Mu and explained to the Kojero Army.

Looking at Graham, who left Gnaku with Kira, Cojero looked at the badly damaged and extremely dilapidated VF-25 in distress, scratching the back of his head and sighing: "Even if we are asked to repair it, we can't do it!" Although the Major didn't let us get involved in the maintenance of the VF-25, I could still see some clues. Major Mu, what do you say? ”

Mu, whose face was gradually covered with solemnity, nodded, as the most important combat force of the Archangel, VF-25, was hit hard in this battle. In this case, the result of the maintenance team being unable to start is inevitable. After all, after being together for a long time, everyone except for the maintenance class, including Maru, vaguely guessed that the VF-25 was different from the Strike Gundam. Now, Graham's unsolicited request is proof of this.

"You can only see walking steps. Anyway, we still have the Strike Gundam and two Airlords to hold up. Mu sighed. He was reluctant to let the VF-25 out of the fight, but the reality was such that he had to admit how dire the situation was.

On the other side, Graham, who had brought Kira to the lounge, sat down, looked up at Kira, who had written his thoughts on his face, and asked, "Ensign, is there something wrong?" ”

Under Graham's gaze, Kira hesitated for a while, and finally voiced the doubts in her heart. "Major Graham. Why keep fighting? Mr. Bartfield, haven't they already retreated? Why continue? ”

Graham, who thought that the young man in front of him was worried about something, was stunned for a moment, then smiled indifferently and said indifferently: "This is a task. It's a fight. ”

"But, Mr. Barterfield, he has ordered a retreat!"

"But didn't he go?"

"That's, that's..." Kira was speechless.

"No more." After understanding the doubts in the boy's heart, Graham also lost patience. He stood up and walked in front of the door, and as he was about to walk out, he said again, "Kira." Soldiers are born to abandon the meaning of fighting! ”

"Soldiers are born to give up the meaning of fighting!?" When Kira heard this, she was stunned. He didn't understand at all what Graham meant by this sentence. Although he had been trained by Ho inexplicably, those trainings were still only a few days, and they did not completely erase Kira's own "personality". Therefore, the teenager hesitated when confronted with Bartfield, who came into contact with him. Thankfully, Barterfield didn't become his opponent and went straight to Graham.

However, Kira, who is now caught in a whirlpool of hesitation and doubt, does not seem to realize that when he fights with other Baku, he pulls the trigger so decisively, so unhesitatingly, and even when an unknown force erupts, he directly kills the killer. This is evident when it is learned that the pilot on Rako is Barterfield.

How Kira thinks next, it's no longer about Graham. The only thing Graham had to think about at the moment was to send the current situation to He Mozhi in the universe and ask him to think about the next direction of the mission. After all, the VF-25 has been seriously damaged, and for some reason, even if Graham is carrying nano repair equipment, it is not easy to take it out directly on the Archangel, and show it in front of everyone, showing what is undoubtedly a miracle of magic in their eyes.

"What a distress!" Although he is distressed now, Graham does not regret his choice to fight Rako on land. As Graham pulled out the contact, and after a few moments of tapping on the virtual keyboard on it, a text message was sent somewhere in the universe.

Above the stars, a detachment of detachments was slowly moving forward.

The Tengyun, since leaving the "Graveyard" colonial satellite, has been heading towards the celestial domain where the mysterious coordinates obtained from the cargo ship are located.

At this time, the Tengyun was handing over to the military police detachment that had come to hand over the information.

"Tut-tut. Although I had heard about the Tengyun before, I didn't expect you to get such important information so quickly. The bald officer, who was wearing the uniform of a military police officer who was roughly the same as Feng Yun, He Moming and others, but who had completely different details, looked at the report in his hand and said in amazement.

"It's just luck." Feng Yun shrugged his shoulders and said that it was nothing.

"Old Feng. I'm starting to get a little jealous of you now. After glancing at Feng Yun, the bald officer put down the document in his hand and looked up at He Moming, who was standing on the side. You're that Colonel Ho? ”

Although the bald officer's military rank is only lieutenant colonel, due to the particularity of the gendarmerie unit to which he belongs, He Mo can only talk to him with an equal attitude. "Hmm. I am inexplicable. ”

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." After the bald officer exclaimed, he saluted He inexplicably. "I'm from Nova. Unexpectedly, those battleships and those mountain tigers were all provided by Colonel He. Colonel Ho's nobility is really impressive! ”

The first half of the sentence is fine, but the second half of the sentence is a little intriguing. But He was inexplicably not disturbed by the pretentiousness of the bald officer, and said calmly: "All this is for the rise of the East Asian Federation. There is nothing to praise about it. ”

The bald officer smiled, pointed at He inexplicably and said with admiration: "Let's not talk about anything else, just Colonel He's pampered and unfazed attitude is already worth learning from others." You know, some people start to flutter after achieving good results. ”

"Some?" As soon as He Mo heard this, he secretly glanced at Feng Yun. It seems that the lieutenant colonel of the gendarmerie in front of him seems to be revealing some terrible news. Is it to find fault? Or applaud? All this seems to be very intriguing.
