Chapter Twenty-Three: The Escape of the Archangel
"I didn't expect this to happen..."On the bridge of the Visalis, Ardis still looked frightened, and kept looking at the universe around "Heliopolis".
The consequences of our army were too appalling, but after a little calm, new concerns surfaced. He turned to look at Kreuzer. "What will happen to us? destroyed the colonial satellites of neutral countries, and the council ......"
"Where is the colony star that helps the Earth Army make new weapons?" There was no trace of confusion or regret on Kreuzer's face. "Most of the residents escaped, so it wasn't a big deal. Compare it to the tragedy of 'Blood Valentine'. Moreover, the parliament is now focused entirely on the issue of the East Asian Republic, and it will not care too much about a small country like Orb. A little reason can fool the past. ā
Kreuzer didn't say a word, such a thing, compared to what PLANT did on the earth, was really nothing, the wail of nearly 10 million dead.
Hearing Kreuzer's words, Addis swallowed back what he wanted to say and looked back at the screen. Indeed, compared to that tragedy...
However, what we did was compared to "Valentine's Day of Blood". Thinking of this, Ardis couldn't help but feel terrified of the still calm and unusually calm Kreuzer in front of him.
"Adis, the location of the enemy's newly built battleship, did you catch it?" Kreuzer asked coldly.
Kreuzer's words surprised Ardis again. "Do you still want to pursue? But in the previous battle, the MS of our army has ......"
"And four, aren't they?" Kreuzer interrupted Ardis and said.
Thinking of the meaning of Kreuzer's words, Artis's confusion deepened. "You mean, let the MS who took the Earth Army also go to the front?"
"Anyway, the data has already been extracted, so it doesn't matter. But we must not let that ship escape. Ardis was speechless in shock, and Kreuzer just stared at the strategy panel with his own eyes. He stared intently at the unfolded map. After a while, a few words were spit out. "Just open a net."
"Nets, you mean Nets?" Addis asked, puzzled.
"Vesalis goes first, and then waits for the enemy ship here. Gamov followed this path. Follow while searching for enemies. Pointing to the screen, Kreuzer said coldly.
Looking at the area indicated by Kreuzer, Addis frowned. "To Artimis? But only lock in that direction, in case they go in the direction of the moon or the direction of the nova......"
The voice of the communications soldier interrupted his rebuttal. "Massive heat measured! It is possible that it was a battleship! Comprehensive analysis of the predicted path, the reason for the acceleration of the earth's gravity, to the moon, the Earth Army Atlantic Federation headquarters! ā
Ardis looked at Kreuzer, but Kreuzer just shook his head.
"It's a disguise. Now it only makes me more convinced. Kreuzer asserted, "They are heading towards Artimis." Wishalis set sail and called Gamow. ā
Archangel number.
"It's so noisy, it's a little disappointing, such a place, such a soldier, such an immature son of luck, a little disappointed." After making out with Liliana, Qingqiuyuan Ena, and Athena, a satisfied Zheng Shuanglong hugged Athena in the form of Lori and took a good look at the Archangel. In the end, he looked at Kira, Mu, and Maliu, who were arguing with him, and said softly.
"I refuse!" Kira yelled angrily, "Why do you have to let me drive!" You may be right, there is war on our side. That's the reality too. But it's because we hate war that we choose neutral Heliopolis! Please, don't get us into the war again! ā
Malu bowed her head apologetically and was silent. Mu on the side opened his mouth and said, "But that thing is now only controlled by you, what can be done?" ā
"What do you mean you can't help it! I'm neither a soldier nor anything! Kira said resentfully.
"Sooner or later, the battle will happen, and when that time comes, will you still insist on this argument and send you to death?" Mu said this bluntly. This time, Kira didn't know how to deal with it.
Looking at Kira, Mu said solemnly: "Now the only ones who can protect this ship are me and you." ā
"But... I..."Tangled. Tangled, Kira really doesn't know what to do, there are his own companions here, but, he is the adjuster, and the Aegis Gundam opposite Zaft is sitting on his childhood friend, which makes Kira really entangled and doesn't know what to do.
Looking down at Kira, whose voice was trembling, Mu's expression suddenly softened. He whispered, "You have the power, you can do it, can't you?" In that case, do your best to do what you can. ā
Kira looked at Mu's face in some astonishment, then lowered her head in bitterness and rushed out.
"Xiaoya, this son of luck, is not ready to shoot, and has no consciousness to be killed, it is a big problem to forcibly push such a son of luck with an immature mentality and a son of luck without faith to the battlefield. It could kill the entire ship. Zheng Shuanglong lowered his head and said softly to Athena, who was a little tired in his arms.
"Yes." Rubbing her eyes in a daze, Athena, who was very cute, leaned her head on Zheng Shuanglong's chest, squinted her eyes, and was ready to rest.
"Really, I just let you have a good rest with Lily and Megumina, but I just don't want to, it's really not good." Gently stroking Athena's silver hair, Zheng Shuanglong said softly.
"There is no smell of dragons, which is very bad. The concubine body doesn't like it. Gently rubbed Zheng Shuanglong's arms, Athena squinted her eyes and whispered.
"Well, then, get some rest. Favorite Xiaoya. Looking at this Athena who was attached to him, Zheng Shuanglong's steps were light, there was no sound or shaking at all, so he held Athena so smoothly, and slowly walked to the dormitory assigned to him.
As for the idea of having a good chat with these friends gathered around Kira, the son of luck, Zheng Shuanglong has been left behind, and he is not an important person anyway. Apart from Frey, there are no characters worth paying attention to.
Actually, Kira? Yamato is also not an important figure in the eyes of Zheng Shuanglong.
In the low-level mysterious world, there is no mysterious world, it is taboo to take away the world's children of luck or something, and it will cause the backlash of the world's consciousness. Even a pseudo-god kingdom will fall into the hands of such a low, mysterious world consciousness if he is not careful.
And if one is not careful, it will also cause a backlash of pan-world consciousness, and in such a situation, even the true god cannot wait.
Except for the middle mystery world, the high mystery world, and other worlds that are not strong enough in the world consciousness, they can do something to the children of luck, and the children of luck in other worlds really have nothing to look forward to, and the benefits and risks are completely unequal.
Therefore. Kira? Yamato is not important in Zheng Shuanglong's eyes, and after seeing such an immature son of luck, Zheng Shuanglong is even less interested.
Zaft, Team Kreuzer.
"Aslan. Sara checks in! Aslan, who had been summoned to the captain's room, saluted respectfully, but Captain Kreuzer only calmly folded his fingers. Due to the need to bring his subordinates to a meeting like this, this captain's room is extremely simple and monotonous, with only necessary functions, but it does not feel the personal characteristics of the owner at all.
Looking at the son of the leader of Zaft, Kreuzer said seriously: "I should have talked to you earlier." You know why I called you, right? ā
Aslan said very seriously: "Yes...... I disobeyed the order. and acted without permission. I'm sorry! ā
In the battle of Heliopolis, facing his childhood friend, Kira, Aslan released the water. So much so that the other teammates died at the hands of the Archangel, and Aslan felt very guilty.
Kreuzer, who was sitting in the chair, said slowly: "I don't plan to punish you, but I just want to hear what you have to say." You know, that's just not like you. Aslan. ā
Aslan bowed his head stiffly and remained silent.
"When that machine starts. You're right there with it. Kreuzer looked at Aslan and said calmly.
"I'm so sorry, I'm shaken by something unexpected...... Aslan sighed as if struggling, holding back the tremors in his voice. Said loudly. "The one who didn't take the mech, and the one who drove it in it, was called Kira. Yamato, my friend at Moon Childhood School, is also an adjuster. I really didn't expect to meet him again in that situation... So I'd like to check again anyway......"
Kreuzer listened silently, muttered for a long time, and sighed. said: "I see... What an irony of war......"
Kreuzer got up from his chair, looked at Aslan, and asked seriously, "No wonder you are shaken, he is your very good friend, right?" ā
"Yes." Aslan replied with a complicated expression and a sigh.
Looking at Aslan like this, Kreuzer took a few steps forward, walked in front of Aslan, and said, "I understand. In that case, you don't have to participate in the next sortie. ā
"Ugh!" Aslan raised his face in shock.
"You can't shoot someone like that, and I don't want you to do that." Looking at Aslan, Kreuzer said calmly.
"No, Captain! That'sā" Aslan shook his head sharply. Be prepared to say something.
Looking at the excited Aslan, Kreuzer said solemnly: "Even if it is your friend in the past, now as an enemy, we have to attack him, I think you can understand it." ā
Aslan excitedly defended: "Kira... That guy was used by natural people! That guy... People are very good, but they love to be in a daze, and they are a good gentleman, so they must be unconsciously... So, I... I want to convince him! He's also a adjuster, so it's impossible not to understand my intentions! ā
"I understand your feelings. But what if he doesn't listen? Kreuzer said softly.
Aslan gasped. "By then......" His face sank, and he couldn't answer. However, Aslan quickly looked at Kreuzer again and said categorically. "I'll attack him."
Looking at Aslan who was leaving, Kreuzer pushed the mask on his face, and thought coldly: The first time you sit on the MS, you can exert such a powerful combat power, this powerful combat instinct, also known as Kira? Yamato, I don't think it will be the one, the source of the sin that is absolutely unforgivable. Anyway, there is one more reason not to let go of the Archangel number.
C.E.71.1.27 After two days of silent stealth, the Archangel finally saw Artemis of the Eurasian Federation, but ......
An alarm sounded on the bridge of the "Archangel".
"Measured a lot of heat! It is possible that it was the engine of the battleship. Distance 200, Y3317, mark 02C, the channel is 0 displacement 0! ā
"Sideways? In the same direction as ours? ā
Has the seat been discovered? Everyone was terrified.
"But at that distance, it's still a long ......," Natal muttered. Enemy ships are sailing side by side in the port direction of the "Archangel".
"The target is moving at a fairly high speed. The horizontal axis is about to overtake the ship! - The type of ship has been confirmed! It's Nazca-class! ā
Mu muttered in a low voice.
"It's counted. The enemy wants to rush to the front to intercept us! ā
"Where's the Laoya class?"
Natal asked hurriedly. Parr panicked and let out a sigh of astonishment.
"There is a moving heat source ...... 300 in the rear of this ship! When will it ......"
Outflanked by two ships.
A frightened silence immediately dominated the air on the bridge, as if it were about to fill the stagnation. Mu spoke. "We've been plotted. If you continue to go like this, sooner or later you will be caught up by the Laua-class, but if you start the engine and speed up and escape, the Nazca class will definitely turn around and rush back immediately. ā
Both Malu and Natal were stunned and silent. The hope that had glimmered at the dawn was completely shattered at this moment.
"Hey! Send the information of those two ships and the map of the universe here. Mu's voice brought the two female officers back to their senses. Yes, is there any countermeasure? ā
looked at Maliu's embarrassed look that didn't look like the captain should have. Mu sighed. "It's just now that I have to start thinking about it."
"Spot the shadow of the enemy ship! Spot the shadow of the enemy ship! Just the first combat position! Those with military status are ready immediately! The ship's radio rang out urgently, and Thor and the others looked up in surprise. There was also a commotion among the other refugees.
"Is there going to be a war? The ship ......"
The soldiers, who had finally had time to rest, all rushed out of the dormitory they had just been assigned to, and were busy putting on their uniforms as they ran.
"It's noisy." Athena, who was shrunk in Zheng Shuanglong's arms, gently rubbed Zheng Shuanglong's chest. Said in a daze.
"yes, then, so be it." Looking at Athena who was sleeping in his arms, looking at Liliana, who was tired and couldn't even wake up with this kind of alarm, and Ena Qingqiuyuan, Zheng Shuanglong, who felt a little too much in the past two days, opened an enchantment that enveloped the entire dormitory, isolating all the sounds that shouldn't be. At the same time, the dormitory will disappear from people's sight.
After doing this, Zheng Shuanglong sensed the situation outside and looked at the lovely Athena in his arms. I looked at the still charming and charming Liliana and Qingqiuyuan Ena who were asleep next to me, and felt the fresh and natural body fragrance. Finally, he tightened his hands and moved Athena into his arms, closing his eyes. I just slept like that.
Does it have anything to do with yourself fighting outside for life and death, anyway, you can't fight to death. The beauty is in her arms, and the wife is on the side, so it's not good to enjoy it. Sort of something.
"Kira. Yamato, please go to the bridge. Kira. Yamato, please go to the bridge ......"
Hearing this broadcast, Mirialia whispered to Thor, "Kira... What will be done? ā
Sei spat out a sentence in a daze. "If that guy doesn't fight, things will get very troublesome......
Thor had been masking for a moment. Mirialia shook his arm again. "Hey. Thor, are we just going to sit here and leave Kira alone to protect us? ā
In fact, there was no need to wait for her to say this, Thor was already thinking about the same thing. "'Do what you can', do your best,' right?" The words of the young officer, Captain Flada, lingered in Thor's mind.
It's true that Kira is a tuner, with abilities superior to his own, and there are some things that he really has to do. However, even if it is because of this, do you have to ask him to bear everything? My power may be really insignificant, but there must be some things that I have to do.
Thor stood up resolutely, looking around at his companions' faces. Everyone nodded as if they understood.
They made their way to the bridge.
Listening to the radio, Kira was still hesitating. However, there is no room for hesitation. If he hadn't stepped up to the fight, the ship would have been sunk nine times out of ten, and his companions and other refugees and crew members would have died. Of course, I can't escape it. It does not mean that you will win if you go to war, but if you don't fight, the possibility of survival will be infinitely close to zero.
Why yourself? Kira didn't want to fight at all. The MS that was destroyed by him was sitting inside, and it was another human life.
He didn't want to die. However, he didn't want to kill either. Why did he have to get his hands bloody? Moreover......
Aslan ......
Every time I pronounce this name, I feel a little more pressure in my breath.
Just like Zheng Shuanglong said, the current Kira is not ready to shoot and kill, nor is he ready to be shot. There is no firm belief, no mature mentality. This kind of Kira, but there will be problems.
Kira shuffled towards the bridge. With each step, he felt pain like the constant tightening of the cord around his neck.
As he reached a corner, Kira suddenly stopped. I was greeted by the students of Kato's group. But......
"Thor, you guys, what's wrong? Why are you dressed like that? "They're all dressed in the uniforms of the Earth Coalition.
"They said you have to wear a military uniform to go to the bridge." Kaz said freely.
Say, on the other hand, straightened his collar in a serious manner and explained to Kira, who was still confused. "We'd like to help with something on the ship, too. Doesn't it mean that there is a shortage of manpower? In any case, we are more familiar with the operation of machinery or computers than the average person. ā
"The military uniform is still Zaft's, it's more handsome, we don't even have a class badge, it looks so inferior." Thor quipped.
Corporal Dalida, who was following them, immediately reprimanded: "Don't pick three or four there!" ā
Thor saw that Kira was still dumbfounded, and grinned at him. "You can't just fight alone to protect us, we're here to help."
Mirialia also said, "It's all in this situation. We can do a little bit too ......"
"You ......," Kira was speechless. The hearts of his partners made his chest warm. I'm not alone.
[It seems to mean a little bit.] We look forward to seeing you perform. A son of luck without faith. Holding Athena, Zheng Shuanglong, who was lying next to Liliana and Huina of Qingqiu Courtyard, squinted his eyes, opened them, and thought happily.
C.E71.1.27, the fugitive Archangel encounters the Kreuzer team before the armed satellite of the Eurasian Federation, Artemis, and the battle is about to begin. (To be continued......)
