1068 Decaying Dust (5000 words)

The output of the Requiem has finally come to an end.

No matter how powerful it was, it couldn't penetrate the four layers of the seemingly fragile, but incomparably hard I force field.

"Requiem is finished, the target is alive!"

In the command center of the moon base, this sentence sounded.

Immediately after, a gunshot rang out.

"Phew!"

however

The gunshot did not hit anyone, but again hit the long-dead Jepley.

The commander slowly lowered his pistol, calmly looked at the battlefield on the main screen that had been flooded by the torrent of light, and said slowly: "First, second, third... As long as all the fleets that are still able to fight, all change their objectives. Our new target is Phoenix Gundam!! ”

There are not many words, but the meaning has been conveyed.

What's more, at this time, there are no more soldiers in the command center of the Earth Union, and some of them are just photocopyers who were born madly!!

As the order was issued, the many fleets that were engaged in the ZAFT began to tear apart.

Whoever still has a shred of sanity will be shocked and suspicious when they see the Phoenix Gundam and Oracle Gundam blocking the incomparable Requiem.

Why isn't Requiem's goal PLANT? Rather, the capital of the allied East Asian Federation?

Why are the before and after orders so contradictory? First stubbornly defended the third satellite relay point, then requiem fired at unplanned targets, and now ordered the whole fleet to attack the Phoenix Gundam?

Such a contradictory order could not help but make most of the senior officers suspicious, but since the command center of the lunar base was already controlled by the photocopiers at this time, they had no way of knowing the truth.

Yes, it's just a matter of how fast or slow you react to the execution of the command.

As a result, what appeared in front of Aslan's eyes was the lunar orbital fleet with different actions.

"Is it over?" Shin Asuka looked at the Phoenix Gundam and then at the Lunar Orbital Fleet, which had split into two parts.

"Probably! But the only thing known is that the enemy is infighting. Aslan breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze also fell on the Phoenix Gundam and the light curtain behind it that was more than ten kilometers long and wide.

"So, that's a Martian whale, right?" Erin's face was a little pale, and in the fierce battle just now, she unfortunately tore some of the wounds on her thighs, and now she still relied on the pressure adjustment function of the pilot's suit to temporarily suppress the wounds.

"Probably." Ray replied subconsciously, but he had been looking at the location of the Oracle Gundam behind Phoenix Gundam since just now. According to his understanding of Kreuzer, the man would not have taken such an extreme action so recklessly.

But now the man did.

At this time, the order to retreat from ZAFT was suddenly given.

Surprise, confusion, and even relief quickly spread through the ZAFT fleet at this moment.

"Retreat? What about Requiem? Why don't you go and kill it? What if..." Asuka asked in surprise.

"No, really. It's not our business anymore. The fleets of the East Asian Federation have begun to attack the Requiem. Aslan shook his head and shared the information about the area where the Requiem was located with Shin Asuka.

"What? When did it happen? ”

"Just now, when the Phoenix Gundam and Oracle Gundam blocked the Requiem." After Ray lightly dropped this sentence, he turned around and left in the Legendary Gundam.

So, the people who confirmed the order to retreat flew back towards the Messiah and the Minerva.

The retreat of ZAFT was a great relief to the divided lunar orbital fleet.

Even if they were confused about the order from the lunar base, which led to a split, they were still afraid of being attacked at this sensitive moment. Luckily, ZAFT seems to have been intrigued by the phenomenon caused by the Phoenix Gundam.

With this kind of happiness, the Lunar Orbital Fleet, which has been split in half, is speeding back towards the lunar base on one side, and the other is heading towards the location of the Phoenix Gundam, and at the same time, it has released all the MS it can carry, striving to defeat the enemy in one blow.

Seeing that there were no less than fifty battleships, the MS fleet of nearly a hundred planes rushed at full speed, only the Eternity and Kusanagi, Dawn Gundam, Strike Freedom, and the terminal fleet of the three Great Demons were extremely weak.

"Hey, hey! Really? After seeing that general burst out with such amazing strength, did he still have the courage to rush over and fight? The desert tiger of yesteryear, Bartfield today smiles wryly and spits in the cockpit of the assault on freedom.

"This fuselage belongs to the young man, can I really drive it?"

"That can't be helped. Now Kira's situation simply can't get into the universe. So Mr. Barterfield will do his best. Once again, Kagalli, who was connected to the Dawn Gundam, had a look of helplessness on her face.

Originally, Kira was included, even if only Dawn Gundam, Assault Freedom, and the three Great Demons could still have an impact on a major battle, but now Kira's situation has frustrated this plan.

"Do your best?" Bartefield sighed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said seriously: "Then, let's do our best!" ”

With that, Barterfield looked back at the Phoenix Gundam, which was still showing crystallization, and said, "I hope our savior can wake up in time!" ”

Not long ago, when Lux suddenly sang a song, everyone at the terminal understood.

Now Lux may have had a slight connection with the general sitting inside the Phoenix Gundam, otherwise, how could the faint pulsation coming from the Phoenix Gundam become more and more clear, even so clear that they sometimes don't need to open their mouths to be able to have a conversation with each other.

"Is this the power of the new human?" Lux clasped his hands into fists and placed them on his chest, staring at the Phoenix Gundam for a long time, which was becoming more and more crystallized. "Senpai, is this the person you've always supported?"

Lux's heart reached the blurred figure standing by at this moment.

"Yes! We are one. Lin Mingmei's phantom turned her head, glanced at Phoenix Gundam, and then looked back at Lux and smiled, "Thank you!" Now, that's enough. I will look forward to the day when we meet again. Good bye! Lux Klein. ”

The ethereal voice fell, and Lin Mingmei's phantom floated up like a snowflake, flying towards the Phoenix Gundam one after another.

Seeing this, Lux subconsciously stretched out her hand, wanting to keep Lin Mingmei, but she unconsciously froze, and gradually, a trace of realization rose in Lux's heart.

"Eternity! Unleash the Meteor! Maximum Battle Speed! Let's stop the lunar orbital fleet! ”

"Oh! Miss Lux. Isn't that embarrassing me? It's hard enough to just drive the Assault to attack freely, and now with the Meteor system?! As soon as he heard Lux's order, Barterfield immediately complained.

"Andy. Now is not the time to complain. From beginning to end, Aisha, who was watching Lux's every move, naturally understood what was in Lux's mind at the moment.

"Yes. Understand! Barterfield shrugged his shoulders and finally accepted the order.

With the release of the Meteor and the merger with Strike Freedom, the strongest mech of life is here!

however

The driver was not Kira Yamato, but Bartfield, who was extremely unconfident about his ability to handle the assault freedom.

From this moment on, the Dawn Gundam, equipped with the Meteor System's Strike Freedom, three Great Demons, and two warships stood firmly in front of the incoming Lunar Orbital Fleet.

And the other party was not frightened. Instead, all the batteries on the battleship were erected and locked, waiting for the moment to come into range.

"Deputies. It's on! Barterfield took a deep breath, looked at the aiming interface that popped out of the console, and said slowly.

"Hmm!" Cagalli replied, and the Alaiyah system began to move towards the upper limit of fusion at this moment.

In this battle, Cagalli does not intend to retain her strength, which means that Cagalli is ready to break through the limiter with a high possibility.

However, as the sword was drawn, the fierce battle that Cagalli, Bartfield, and even Lux had imagined did not happen.

What appeared before their eyes was another miracle.

light

The light that kept emanating from the crystals slowly pulled out ribbons of light in the void space as the Phoenix Gundam moved, and it was beautiful.

But this beautiful picture is not very beautiful for the incoming lunar orbital fleet, perhaps it is terrifying.

At the beginning, the Lunar Orbital Fleet, which had been watching the movements of the Phoenix Gundam, was pleasantly surprised to find that the Phoenix Gundam had actually been delivered to the door by itself. So, the order was given to attack with all his might.

However, in the next moment, all the attacking airframes lost all reaction in the Phoenix Gundam waved, and even the power system was paralyzed, leaving only the pilot to toss in the cockpit in vain, and finally opened the cockpit, watching the Phoenix Gundam fly away in confusion and panic.

"The main gun!! Main Gun Fire!! ”

The commander of the fleet shouted frantically after seeing that his MS troops lost all reaction when they were waved by the Phoenix Gundam as soon as they were waved in front of them.

As a result, the main cannon he was shouting for did not fire, and the battleship they were on lost all reaction like the MS, and the power furnace was turned off.

"How is that possible? Just waved your hand and destroyed an entire fleet? Is the god reappearing? ”

At this moment, both the fleet commander and the MS pilot looked at the Phoenix Gundam flying towards the moon base with fear, but awe.

Bartfield, who also saw this scene, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Alas. Looks like we're in luck! ”

"Yes. You're in luck. ”

Suddenly, Kreuzer's voice rang in Barterfield's head.

"Rau-Roy Kreuzer? It's really you bastard. Bartfield, who had been unpleasant to Kreuzer from the beginning, immediately scolded.

"Captain Barterfield. I haven't seen you all these years, but my temper has grown a lot. Kreuzer sneered, then continued, "Lux Klein. I know what you think, and so does the Lord. Now I have a copy of the Eternity database to transfer. Wait until you read these materials before making a decision! ”

With that, everyone felt that Kreuzer's presence had disappeared from everyone's perception.

Looking back, the Oracle Gundam, which had just remained in place, had already flown a long distance towards the moon base.

"Fate?!" After receiving the information, Lux looked at the word displayed on the information and muttered silently.

meantime

The command center of the moon base was still busy, even if the fleet facing the blocking of the Phoenix Gundam lost its reaction, even if the first and second lines of defense were defeated by the 17th Task Force of the East Asian Federation, the commander of the photocopier remained calm, and a faint smile seemed to appear.

"The third line of defense is broken! Our MS troops have been lost! We don't have any strength left to stop the enemy's attack! ”

The current situation can be said to be a complete defeat.

All they need to do now is sit here and wait for the final outcome to come.

As photocopies, they never had the right to choose to live and die.

"Click." The Commander of the Photocopyers picked up the pistol again, raised his left hand to turn on the red button next to him, pressed it, and then looked at the dazzling red countdown on the main screen, and smiled: "For eternal life!" ”

"For eternal life!"

At some point, all the photocopyers under the podium picked up their pistols and pointed them neatly at their heads.

"Let's go!"

As the words of the photocopier commander fell, a uniform gunfire rang out, and the blood mist that flew over the command center also spread, hovering in the air for a long time, reflecting the red countdown on the main screen.

"Avril, Stella, Mayo! Stop! Let's get out of here now! ”

Suddenly, at the moment when the photocopiers committed suicide together, it was obvious that Graham was not right and immediately called out to all the MS troops who were about to break into the base.

"The situation inside is not right, retreat immediately!!"

"But?" Stella was stunned, a little unable to react.

"Stella, let's go! I also feel wrong. Avril hurriedly called out to Stella.

But Mayo suddenly cried out.

"No, no, no! Phoenix Gundam is here! Brother is here! ”

"What?" Everyone was taken aback, and then looked back to see that it was the crystallized Phoenix Gundam that had come from the light.

However, no matter how Avril and the others called, the communication was good, but the Phoenix Gundam never reacted, but rushed into the moon base with his own head buried in his own eyes.

"What should I do?" Avril and the others looked at each other. Do you want to follow it? Or don't follow?

"Let's retreat first! With Phoenix Gundam's abilities, it should be fine. Graham has the answer.

In the end, under the skeptical gaze of everyone, all the MS took the wounded along the way, and then withdrew a large distance with the fleet, quietly watching the silent moon base.

"Oh? What a crowd! ”

Kreuzer finally stepped on the last beat and came to Graham and the others.

"What happened to my lord?" As soon as they met, Graham asked. And this question is also the voice of Avril and them, and even all the fleet generals, including Maliu.

"Huh? How so? Now the adult is like a newborn baby, but like a divine being. In short, very contradictory. I don't know what to say. After Cruze said something, he suddenly looked at the Requiem and said, "Look! Adults came out. ”

With a little light slowly rising from the cannon of the Requiem, the steel artifact that shimmered with cold light was actually occupied by gray-red patches, and gradually spread towards the intact parts, and then the gray-red patches that had swallowed all the steel parts gradually produced a decomposition effect and quickly dissipated in this universe.

"So, that's?"

In the distance, despite the order to retreat, Dirandal kept the main screen to monitor the lunar base to observe the follow-up of the Seventeenth Fleet of the East Asian Federation, and he saw such an astonishing scene.

"Is it decaying?" Dilandal crossed his chin and fell silent.

Subsequently, under the gaze of Dirandal, not only the Requiem, but also the relay point used to distort the beam of light was quickly eroded by some force under the influence of the crystallized Phoenix Gundam, and then dissipated into space, and from then on, the Requiem no longer existed in this world.

"It's over."

Watching the requiem disappear, almost everyone's hearts rang with this sentence, and maybe compared to the war, they were more interested in the creature that still appeared back and forth in the light curtain, suspected to be a Martian whale.

Perhaps this is the alien creature that humans have imagined after stepping into space.

In any case, the war finally stopped for a while.

It's just that in the shadows of the Messiah, the plan that Dilandar called destiny also raised its head in this moment.

"Lux. Is it all true? Cagalli, who was able to get out of her wheelchair due to the microgravity, pushed and pressed her hands alternately on the wall, and slowly landed in front of Lux.

"If the information provided by Kreuzer is correct, it is most likely true." Lux's face was unusually solemn. She didn't expect that the information provided by Kreuzer would have such a powerful and explosive impact, and even she couldn't accept the truth in a short period of time.

"If in doubt, why don't you ask the general?" Bartfield, who stood aside with his neck crossed, suggested.

After Lux and Cagalli looked at each other, Lux finally made a decision.

"It seems that we have to use our real identities to meet General He Mozhi this time."
