After a 24-hour stop, the Fortuna began to pursue the Zado fleet...... The pursuit lasted a little longer, enough for the people on board to do a lot of things.

Liz and Zhao Yun, the two guys who drove the super mech, continued to laugh at the hard work of the rookies; Defeated dogs like Leon, who had been beaten to retreat by Kira in the previous battle, were trained from time to time to improve their proficiency in maneuvering the VF-31; experienced the most chaotic battle in his life, Sima Yi, who thought that he was the commander of the army, could not escape the blame, and began to organize everyone to practice tactics in order to be ashamed; Patrick threw the pot of his unsuccessful victory on the 'Angel Gundam No Beam Sword', so he returned to the "Gundam 00 World" and forcibly asked the MS team of AEU to equip the Angel Gundam with a GN beam sword; Carlod exerts extraordinary adaptability and is accustomed to MS warfare in a gravity-free environment; Molgana finally gave up the Thunderbolt Gundam to Ada, and took over the VF-31 that originally belonged to Ada, and had a lot of fun; Cagalli was a little tempted to return to Orb, but was persuaded by Liz's verbal cannon and quieted down for the time being; Nigaul may be a good guy, but he's not on Leeds' list of relationships, so he can do whatever he wants......

However, business seems to have come sooner than expected.

"Did you sense that we were chasing them and deliberately lured us here? That is, what is there to exploit here? Liz, who sat on the captain's throne, gave a final reminder to all the members who were ready to attack.

"I'm still the same thing, as soon as I notice that something is wrong, immediately summon and put on the steel suit, as long as the cockpit is not placed directly in front of someone's cannon, the VF-31 will survive the explosion." In the future, it may be possible to let the maid team modify the cabin, so that the little friend can directly control the body in a steel suit, but it can't be done now, and it can only be used as a countermeasure in case of emergency escape.

"-No more nonsense, Yellow Turban Thief, attack!"

Given that the maximum speed of the Nazca-class ships is almost the same as that of the Fortuna, it is a simple matter of catching up, and if there are no accidents, their next engagement will be at Zado's base camp.

However, the accident happened - in order to mourn the victims of the "Blood Valentine's Day Incident", PLANT (the country of the Zado Army) sent a mourning group to the ruins of the satellite "Junius 7", on the way, the mourning group was drawn into a military clash between the Zador Army and the Federation Army, and sent a distress signal on the ship Silverwind.

It is unclear if the Zado Army calls itself the "People's Army", but there is still "Lux Klein", an idol peace ambassador known as the "First Singer", in the mourning group, and even if Kreuzer is not happy, he still has to take a detour to save people...... Well, the people were saved, and Aslan's fiancée, Miss Azlan, was jumping around, but this detour also caused them to be caught up by the "God of Wealth".

"Captain Kreuzer, let me pilot the Strike Gundam!" Time was shared, and a group of people from Leeds trained in waves, and Aslan also took advantage of this time to leave the hospital bed.

"I also think it's most appropriate for Aslan-kun to be driven by you," Kreuzer smiled and looked at Aslan, who seemed to be intimately next to his fiancée, but actually needed a certain amount of care from Lux, "but your body obviously can't support driving MS......"

If you want to withstand the impact of acceleration when manipulating the MS, you have to recuperate for another month and a half, right? This is still counting the physical condition of the adjuster.

"But ......!" Aslan gritted his teeth.

Aslan felt extremely guilty about the fact that his best friend had come here in a trap to save himself, and now he had joined the battle to protect himself.

Kreuzer shook his head, "Unfortunately, I don't have much time to communicate with you right now...... That's not an adversary who can afford to be careless. ”

Kreuzer, who had been sharpened in the previous battle, could only be the commander on the bridge today, and ordered: "The opponent's maneuvering skills are very average, remember to use the floating objects everywhere!" Sortie! ”

(-Kira Yamato, Strike Gundam, Attack!) ）

(The battleships of the Federation have already appeared on the radar, what is the ionization vessel pressure?) ）

"It's not 3% yet, so I can barely reach the maximum pressure, but I'll figure it out."

(Well, please, Aina.) ）

"Yes, brother."

After leaving the vault in Heliopolis, Aina was unable to contact Shirou Amada, so she returned to the Duchy of Zeon by transport ship with regret...... The journey was smooth, and incidents like "Blood Valentine's Day" were in the minority, and generally speaking, the three major forces would not deliberately launch attacks against civilians. It's just that she arrived at Zeon almost at the same time as Zado's information that "the Obruti Federation is developing new Gundams and warships", which made her not have half of her spare time.

It is impossible to share the technical information of the new Gundam, and Zado just wants Zeon to dispose of the Archangel, and the so-called "strategic partner" is almost this kind of relationship. And the Duchy of Zeon really had no choice, in order to intercept the Federation's new warships, they even sent a new MA "Apsalas" developed by Aina's brother Kinyas Sakhalin, which was still in trial production - the core armament is a super-powerful high-energy MEGA particle cannon, which has the great power to destroy military bases with strong fortifications in one blow; Lacking in flexibility, but with the application of Minovsky particle vehicle technology, the speed of the dash is amazing, and it can easily break through the enemy's defenses; There was no breakthrough in armor technology, but the defense was barely strengthened by thickening the armor.

Admittedly, the current Apsalas is still deeply flawed, but its potential is already visible. Once the phase-displacement armor technology is applied, unless it encounters the X Gundam that can launch satellite microwave cannons and the unreasonable martial arts Gundam on the earth, it can completely carry the fire of the enemy's MS troops to destroy the warships located in the rear, and instantly change the pattern of the battlefield.

However, whether the Apsalas will be mass-produced and become a common model for Zeon in the future is a distant future, and it is currently only a prototype, and only Aina, who has been specially trained, can drive it. Because of this, Aina, who was once regarded as a fallen person, was immediately assigned to the mission of "intercepting the Archangel" as soon as she returned to her hometown.

(The cable is ready to be unlocked, is it ready?) ）

"Anytime." Hearing the liaison's voice, Aina clasped the levers on the left and right sides with both hands.

Apsalath was the hope of Kiñas, the means of realizing the dream of reviving the House of Sakhalin. Aina's thoughts were a little different, she originally just wanted to help her brother, but her encounter with Shirou Amada made her look forward to quelling the war after completing Apsalas...... She wasn't naïve enough to think that the war would end without a winner, and in that case, she could only try to get the Duchy of Zeon to win.

But in the end, what she wanted to see was a world as peaceful as Heliopolis had seen.

After breaking out of Heliopolis, Shirou Amada consulted with Mu-la Vlada and decided to go to the nearest military fortress of the Earth Federation Army, "Arutaimis", which has an energy shield defense system known as the "Umbrella of Arutaimis", and it should be okay to shrink down to defend and keep the Archangel.

The best outcome is naturally for the Aru-Termis side to replenish the manpower and MS troops, and the Archangel will then set off for the headquarters of the Federation Army on Earth-Atlantic Base, but if the risk is too great, or if the commander of Aptsalas has his own small calculations, leaving the Archangel in Aru-Tamis is also an option...... It's good to say that it has been delivered to the federal army, and the rest of the big guys are pulling each other, anyway, a captain and a second lieutenant are not qualified to participate.

However, Zado's fleet was driven back by Liz and others, and Zeon's fleet was stopped in front -

"Hey, only Captain Mu can't stand it alone! Can't the red one attack yet? Shirou Amada, who ran from the bridge to the engine room, shouted to the maintenance personnel who were busy with his hands.

Before the Archangel rushed out of Heliopolis, it took advantage of the chaos to move two prototype machines and related parts, and the maintenance personnel worked overtime to adjust along the way, and the blue heretic machine had been driven out by Mu to fight, and now there was still a red heretic machine left.

"Unless you want to fight the Vulcan cannon with your fists and feet, it will take half an hour to get faster!" The maintenance personnel, who were already working hard to repair the beam rifle and beam sword, regardless of whether the other party was the acting captain, opened their voices and shouted.

"Half an hour?! If we continue like this, in less than five minutes we will be killed by a big turtle without a head! "Apsalas looks like this, and Amada Shirou doesn't describe it wrong," ...... Wait, didn't I have a physical Japanese knife when I checked the parts before?! ”

"You mean 'Kikuichi Writing'? Hey, are you really going to fight with that thing, I don't guarantee anything! "He's just a grassroots maintenance worker, not a design engineer of Gundam, and he has zero confidence in that physical knife!

"There is still so much to manage at this time! Help me prepare! Shirou Amada hurriedly floated into the cockpit of the Red Heresy.

"During the battle, I was cut down by Zeon's MS's beam sword, I don't care!"

The prepit yelled and did his job quickly.

"—Shirou Amada, Red Heretic, Attack!"
