Chapter Twenty-Five: Broken Artemis
The Kingdom of God, the Land of the Void, the City of Science Fiction.
Standing on the roof of the Moudong Building, looking at the Sky Temple floating in the sky, Yuyi said a little sadly: "I always feel that the gap is very big." What should I do, Yuyi is very troubled. ”
Hearing Yuyi's words, Shiori Sekine said with a wry smile: "Don't say you're troubled, I, Irie Miyuki, Naoko, Asami, Shiina, and Yusa are not troubled." ”
took out the dream card, tapped it gently, and looked at the bread that appeared in front of him with a seven-colored light, Shiori Sekine said in surprise: "It's been a while, I'm still a little unaccustomed, no matter how I look at it, I think it's very incredible, although the world after death has been very incredible before, but, this kingdom of God, there is really no way to get used to it, we, can we really stand by the side of Zheng, who created such an incredible kingdom of God." ”
Putting down the drum stick in her hand, Irie Miyuki said timidly: "Or, let's do something, do something that can make us feel at ease, although our academic performance in school is not very ideal, but, if we work hard, we shouldn't be worse than Angel and Miss Shion, in the Tower of True Knowledge, we can also do something that only we can do." ”
After speaking, Miyuki Irie's eyes became resolute, and the feeling of the little animal disappeared, and there was a feeling of finding the direction. Yes, unlike Miss Shion, we still have the possibility, and if we work hard, we may be able to help Zheng.
"I want to go with Shiina to receive Lian's teachings, my motor nerves are still very good, maybe, I can become a strong person like Lian." Putting down the guitar in her hand, Naoko said with some uncertainty.
"Then Miyuki and I will go to the Tower of Knowledge, maybe we can help too." Shiori Sekine hugged Miyuki Irie and said with a smile.
"Yuyi's words, I don't know, I'll go to the country of flowers to have a look. Yuyi doesn't have so many luxuries. As long as you can find someone who can like you and like yourself, you can do it. Touching his head, Yuyi said with a little smirk.
"It's going to be very hard for you to do this." Looking at such Miyuki Irie, Shiori Sekine, Naoko, and Asami Iwasawa, thinking of Shiina who practiced with Luo Cuilian, and Yuzuo, who was wandering in the abyss in confusion, he couldn't help but whisper. The light is only the voice that Yuyi himself can hear.
"Asami." Naoko, who had waited for a long time and didn't hear Asami Iwasawa's voice, turned her head to look at Asami Iwasawa, who had been looking at the temple floating in the clouds, and asked softly.
"I'll go find Yusa and go there with Yusa. I think there's something out there that will give me a satisfying answer. "Pointing to the Temple of the Sky. Asami Iwasawa said seriously.
That one, Zheng's former stepmother, should be able to give us a little guidance. Looking at the Temple of the Sky, Asami Iwasawa thought seriously.
It's really a very bold act. Hearing Asami Iwasawa's words, Naoko, Miyuki Irie, and Shiori Sekine were all a little shocked.
When Zheng Shuanglong thinks about the girls who live in the kingdom of God and have a good relationship with him, the girls are also carrying out their own actions, carrying out actions that make themselves meaningful and valuable. Enrich yourself. Let yourself be no longer troubled.
Gundam World, Heliopolis.
Liu Yi who was sitting in the captain's room alone. Holding a silver badge and communicating. "In Artemis, I see. Well, that's it, something else. I'll take care of it, well, battleships, specially equipped high-speed attack battleships. There is no problem, there are these things in the communication with the blue universe, if nothing else. I hung up. ”
Liu Yi, who ended the communication with Zheng Shuanglong, looked at the badge in his hand called Roaming Two-Dimensional, and said with a little distress: "I don't know why, I always have an ominous feeling when I look at this Roaming Two-dimensional system, and I am really very troubled." What is the bad name, take this kind of name that is going to suffer, haven't you been pit by that roaming two-dimensional, or rather, because you have been pitted, so you also want others to be pitted. It's really very overly interested. It's terrible. ”
Archangel, restaurant.
When the girls were looking for a solution to their troubles, when Liu Yi was troubled because of Zheng Shuanglong, Zheng Shuanglong was also very troubled and hugged Athena, and worked in the restaurant with Liliana and Qingqiu Yuan Huina, looking at a group of Eurasian Federation soldiers with submachine guns with a wry smile, and said with a wry smile: "Can't you live if you do your own evil?" ”
I don't know if it's about the soldiers of the Eurasian Federation, or about myself.
The Archangel sailed into the port of Artimis.
The Eurasian military base at L5 is a small military base built on a border asteroid and is not very important in terms of military position, but it is known for its unique defenses. The entire asteroid is shrouded in a light wave defense belt, and no object or weapon, not even a laser light wave, can penetrate this layer of defense, so it is called the "Umbrella of Artimis", which can be called an impregnable absolute defense weapon.
Malu was originally worried that the "Archangel", which was built under extreme secrecy, did not have any military identification code, and might not be able to enter the port smoothly, but she did not expect the other party to give permission to do so.
But before entering the port, Mu said to Kira in a mysterious way. "Go and encrypt the Strike Gundam launcher. Let it become impossible for anyone but you to activate. ”
Kira didn't understand what he meant, of course, but it wasn't long before he understood what he meant.
As soon as it entered the port, the Archangel was surrounded by armed soldiers and MAs. The airtight locks were broken, and the soldiers all rushed in. The crew was speechless in astonishment, and was coerced into gathering in the dining room by the soldiers with guns.
And at this time, Zheng Shuanglong just lifted the enchantment, woke up Liliana and Qingqiu Yuan Ena, got up from the dormitory with Athena in his arms, and prepared to go to the canteen to eat, although he also arrived at the cafeteria, but it was really not a pleasant thing to be pressed to the canteen by someone at gunpoint.
The use of mystical techniques in the mystical world is also a kind of consumption for Zheng Shuanglong, a true god, especially if it does not cause the backlash of the world's consciousness, the power of fantasy consumed can be a large amount, so Zheng Shuanglong also tries not to use mystical techniques in most cases.
Artimis, Commandant's Office.
"Do you say endangering this Artemis? What a stupid thing! I know how scared those guys are of this satellite. It won't be long before the ship leaves; As always. I can't do anything. Looking at the three remaining officers of the Archangel who were brought here, Mu, Natal, and Maliu, the commander of Artemis said with a smile.
The three of them looked at the commander wordlessly. After laughing, Commander Galucia returned to his polite attitude from earlier. He smiled and said, "When they leave, it's not too late for you to contact the Lunar Command." Rest well until then, I see you're all tired. I immediately called for someone to prepare the room. ”
In other words, to control our freedom of action, right? Mu wrenched his face and pondered.
As he was taken away by the soldiers who had been called in, Mu turned to Galucia again. He asked, "Is Artemis really that safe?" ”
The commander, who had turned his back to them, glanced at him half-glance back, and replied with a wry smile. "It's safe. It's like being in a mother's arms. ”
Zaft, Gamow.
"Neither laser nor physical bullets can wear through the 'umbrella'. Ay. Although the other party can't beat it either. ”
"So, they won't attack either? How could there be such a stupid thing. Diaca said in annoyance.
Moored to a position where Artimis could be seen, Captain Selman, Yitzhak, Diaca and Nigaul were briefing in Gamow's bridge.
There was no strict hierarchy in the Zaft army, only the titles of captains, captains, and so on. Due to the high level of basic intelligence of the army as a whole, soldiers were allowed to make autonomous judgments on the front lines of battle, rather than just obeying orders from their superiors.
It is a miracle that this undisciplined militia was able to fight a war with Earth for eleven months without losing. Is the overall quality too strong?
Nigaul looked at "Artimis" on the strategic panel with great seriousness. "At this stage, there is still no way to break through the 'umbrella', and this is really a dilemma."
"What to do? Wait for them to come out? Diaca sneered.
Yitzhak glared at him impatiently. "Diaca. Is it time for jokes? When Captain Kreuzer returns to the front when he is done, do you want to report that we have achieved nothing? That's a shame! ”
Because of the destruction of Obhayliopolis, it is necessary for Kreuzer to take Aslan back to the PLANT to make a report. So, the task of pursuing the Archangel was in the hands of Yitzhak.
Said so by Yitzhak. Diaca had no choice but to remain silent. There is no result, this kind of thing is really not very glorious.
At this moment, Nigaul suddenly spoke. "This umbrella shouldn't be activated very often, right?"
"Yes. When there are no enemies around, the 'umbrella' will be closed. But if we try to approach him while he's off, they'll be aware of it before they even come into range of the satellite. Then it will start again. In the same way, Diaca spread his hands in a gesture of surrender.
But Nigaul added, "My body, the Thunderbolt Gundam, may be able to do it." ”
Yitzhak and others, who had always ignored him in the past, looked at him in surprise at this time.
At some point, a mischievous look appeared on Nigel's gentle face. "In addition to phase transfer armor, it has an interesting feature. Mirage system, fantasy particles. ”
Archangel number.
Inside the Archangel, people whisper uneasily, and a group of soldiers with guns stand right at the entrance.
"What? What's going on? ”
"Why don't you explain it to us......"
The refugees who don't know what is going on are talking to each other, but the crew members are also confused.
"I say, aren't you allies with Eurasia? Are they at odds with the Atlantic Federation? Say asked Jackie.
"This is the Eurasian Federation, not the Atlantic Federation, and that's the biggest problem, that thing out there, as an ally, it's obligated to share it, isn't it. The Eurasian Federation is okay, at least it will leave something for the Atlantic Federation, and if it is an East Asian Republic, it is estimated that everything will be eaten clean. Although I have eaten it several times, I have to say that the food of the Archangel is really very poor. It was Zheng Shuanglong who sat down with the food and took a bite of the food, and Zheng Shuanglong once again couldn't help but sigh at the craftsmanship of the head chef of the Archangel.
United Earth Forces. That being said, it is not a united group. With the common goal of countering the "Zaft", the United Earth was established in C.E.70, but this was formed by the convergence of different countries. The North American continent and even Central and South America and other major powers form the Atlantic Federation, and the Eurasian Federation, as its name suggests, is dominated by European countries from the north to the west of the Eurasian continent, including some Nordic countries. In addition to these two federations, the East Asian republics and other small states form the so-called Earth Union. With so many small groups, it is inevitable that there will be power struggles and interference from major powers, plus mutual containment. It's hard to say it's all in unison.
The "Archangel" and the "Strike Gundam" are new weapons secretly created by the North Atlantic Federation and the community outside the organization, and although they are allies of each other, it is impossible for the Eurasian Federation not to pay attention to this.
"I'm sorry the food was terrible." The head chef, who was also imprisoned here, couldn't help but complain.
"You're a refugee who came up with Frey. Seems to be a doctor. Is that really the case, then, will we have any problems? Mirialia asked, a little worried.
"No problem, our words, the problem is this ship and that airframe, plus the pilot. The Eurasian Federation is a bit of a hooligan, though. But for inconsequential civilians, nothing will be done, and the international impact is not good. They'll converge a little bit. Speaking of this, Zheng Shuanglong looked at the military uniforms on Miliaria, Thor, and Sai. He reminded with a smile: "If I were you, I would change this outfit, and sometimes, wearing this outfit also requires great enlightenment." There will be trouble. Are you ready for this? ”
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and a bald man led the officers and soldiers of the Eurasian Federation in. In an arrogant tone, he asked, "I am the commander of this satellite base, Gerald. Galicia. Where are the MS pilots and technicians on board? ”
Hearing the commander's words, after thinking about Zheng Shuanglong's admonition before thinking about it, everyone present stopped talking.
It's cold......
"No one said, it's really a very troublesome thing." Seeing that his words were being ignored, the commander of Artemis said with a little anger.
"Why do you ask us? Because the captain won't say it? How about you want to take the Strike Gundam? A soldier from the Atlantic Federation, who sensed that the atmosphere was not right, asked loudly.
Lucia was annoyed at first, then smiled contemptuously. "What do we want? It's just that it's a rare opportunity to take a look at it and ask something about it before it is released to the world. Who is the driver? ”
Madek replied, "It's Captain Flada, please ask him if you have any questions." ”
"We also saw the battle just now. The only one who can operate the 'Zero' with a wire-controlled barrel is the man at the moment, and I at least know that. Garnosia looked around. Seeing that no one wanted to answer, he grabbed Miriaria's hand nearby.
"Ah......" Poor Commander, the hand holding Mirialia was pierced by a silver needle.
"HAT00000023, if I were you, I wouldn't have reached out and would have been cut off. For the sake of the Eurasian Federation, it is normal to ask questions, and it is understandable to ask male soldiers, which will make people think that you are brave and resourceful, and loyal to the country. But bullying a girl, what is it? Cut, I really can't stand it, be careful that I go to make a small report, let that Moruda? Azra Aylu stuffs you into a missile launcher. Taking out a magnetic card from his arms and throwing it on the commander's face, Zheng Shuanglong said very calmly while eating.
"Wait, Moruda? Your Excellency Director Azraairul?! Put the guns down for me, hurry up! Hearing the name of a certain big man in Zheng Shuanglong's mouth, His Excellency the Commander hurriedly ordered the soldiers who had raised their guns because they saw their commander being attacked to put their guns down.
"Your Excellency?" Not bothering to stop the bleeding in his bleeding palm, the commander looked at Zheng Shuanglong, who was very calm, and asked cautiously.
"Didn't the magnetic card give it to you, ask me what I'm doing, didn't you see me eating, I can understand if you're looking for a driver or something, I also understand something, but it's too much to do with these little girls, understand." Taking the napkin handed over by Liliana and wiping his mouth, Zheng Shuanglong looked at the commander and said calmly.
"Yes, I understand very well." Seeing Zheng Shuanglong's majestic appearance, His Excellency the commander, who heard the whispers of a soldier beside him who had inquired about the magnetic card, wiped his cold sweat, nodded, and hurriedly responded.
After speaking, the commander turned his head to the soldiers beside him, and dozens of soldiers rushed in, preparing to transfer the male soldiers of the Archangel to other places for interrogation.
There are big people here who can't be messed with, so there's no problem with changing places.
Seeing Thor, Sai and other companions being savagely escorted, Kira, who was a little impulsive, couldn't help but stand up and said loudly: "Please stop, I'm the driver." ”
"What did you say?" Looking at Kira's childish face, Galucia's face was purple with anger and humiliation. How can such a young child be a driver, fooling me? "Take it away! Unbehaving children should be well educated. ”
"Don't fight! He's the driver! Because he's the adjuster! Seeing that the escorted Sai was kicked several times, Frey couldn't help but stand up and say.
As soon as these words came out, expressions of hatred immediately appeared on the faces of Madek and the others, while the officers and soldiers of the Eurasian Federation such as Galucia stayed in place in shock. Kira, on the other hand, stared at them as if she was about to bounce back into their sight.
Kira was the only one who was taken away, and the other male soldiers were no longer worthless, so let it go, and it was very bad behavior to make the big man here angry.
Seeing Kira forcibly taken away by the people of the Eurasian Federation, Thor turned to Frey and asked, "Why did you tell me!" ”
"But that's how it is. I've saved you. Frey had a look of ignorance of good people.
Thor was overwhelmed by Frey's words. Half a ring, then said angrily: "Don't you want to think about what will happen to Kira?" You're a man! ”
Frey retorted loudly, "What am I! Isn't this a base for friendly forces? What does it matter if you talk about the driver. Why not? ”
Looking at Frey, who had no guilt at all, Thor was so angry that he could barely speak. "Who do you think the Earth Army is fighting against?"
A seismic wave. The explosion of a low dive struck with a violent shaking.
"There's something interesting going on." Feeling the sudden vibration, Zheng Shuanglong, who was sitting in the restaurant mildly eating, said softly.
With the help of the Mirage system, Thunderbolt Gundam silently passes through the unopened umbrella, bursts the light wave defense system, and begins to attack Artimis.
Kira, who was escorted to the Strike Gundam, took advantage of the shock of the explosion to kick the soldier who was pointing a gun at him out of the cockpit and shut down the cockpit.
In the same cafeteria, Neumann and the others are subduing guards who are distracted by the sound of explosions. They knocked down the soldiers and ran to the bridge without looking back. They slid neatly into their seats and quickly activated their ships. It didn't take long for Malu and the others, who had escaped on their own, to also arrive at the "Archangel".
"Captain!" The crew heard a chorus of joy. Mu also grabbed Sai's head nearby and said, "Well done, boys!" Then he sat down.
"What is this satellite about?" Said, who had just been kicked several times, pouted unhappily. Really, Malu felt the same way, and she raised her voice.
"Archangel, sail!"
At some point, there were more Duel Gundams and Storm Gundams outside. Without the protection of an umbrella, Artemis could not withstand a blow from them. The Thunderbolt Gundam shoots out a halberd-like lancer enthalpy from the three halberds, knocking down the MA in action. The blast from the Storm Gundam Cannon Tube pierced through the control room, and blinding blast flames erupted from the opening. Explosions occurred one after another, and the surface of the moon floating in space seemed to bloom.
The Archangel escaped the explosion with great difficulty, led by the Strike Gundam.
Artemis fell. (To be continued......)
