After obtaining Duanmu Huai's consent, the Minerva adjusted its direction and slowly flew towards the battleship according to the guidance of the Inquisition.

"It's unimaginable ........."

The closer they got to the ship, the more shocked the group on the Minerva became. After all, the Imperial Warships of the Inquisition, not to mention anything else, are really outstanding in appearance. The glittering Gothic church, with its huge pitch-black gun muzzles on both sides, makes it look like a sacred city in the sunlight.

Most people are just amazed at the sheer size and magnificence of the ship, but as the captain of the ship, Talia has a complicated expression, although she is not a scientist by profession, but as a captain, Thalia also understands how terrifying the Inquisition's technology is. You must know that even in the universe, it is unimaginable to build such a huge warship nearly five kilometers long, not to mention that it has entered the atmosphere of the planet right now, and logically speaking, with the mass and weight of this battleship, it will already have a drastic impact on the surrounding environment.

However, it stood still in mid-air, with almost zero impact on its surroundings, as if it were basically non-existent.

What kind of technology is this?

Talia is sure that ZAFT does not have this kind of technical ability, and I am afraid that the New Earth Federation does not have ......... Moreover, they call themselves tribunals......... Truth be told, it's not a peaceful word.

It's just that judging from the situation just now, they are also enemies of cosmic monsters, so the two sides may have something in common.

Maybe these people are aliens?

As Talia turned these thoughts, the Minerva had reached the side of the Inquisition, and the hangar door opened, welcoming the Minerva inside, and then docked on one of the bridges in the hangar.

"Captain, what's next?"

To be honest, most of the crew in the boat were a little drumming at this time, and they didn't know what to do.

"I'll go and meet with each other and explain the situation............... The others are standing by in place, and I don't think the other side should be hostile, after all, if they are hostile, we will definitely not be able to escape. ”

Well, that's true, and everyone didn't refute it. In front of such a huge warship, the Minerva was like a small fishing boat, powerless to fight back. If the other party really wanted to do something to them, I'm afraid they would have done it a long time ago. However, it is indispensable to guard against others, and of course we must be vigilant.

"But captain, you can't go alone.........!"

"That's right......... So ........."

Talia thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Miss Amari, Miss Setsuko, Miss Yaz, come with me."

"Huh?"

Hearing Talia's order, the three people who were named were all taken aback.

"Is that okay? Captain? ”

"Yes, if I only bring the members of this ship, it may cause you some misunderstandings and worries, Miss Amari is a resident of this world, Miss Setsuko also got acquainted with us because of the dimensional shock, and Miss Yaz, you also boarded the body for some reason and stayed on the Minerva, I think you all have different positions, and you should be able to clearly convey the communication and negotiation between me and the other party."

Called Setsuko by Talia,It's a girl with long brown hair.,Wearing a dark red uniform similar to ZAFT.,Her name is Setsuko Ohara.,Originally a resident of another world.,Before the [World Fusion] event, due to the influence of the dimensional shock, she was teleported to this world with her companions, and was initially regarded as a thief who stole the ZAFT mecha, and fought with the ZAFT team here.

It's just that this girl's expression is very dark at the moment, and when she heard Talia's order, she just nodded silently and didn't speak.

And Yaz. St. Claus, on the other hand, was a young girl with a blue ponytail who looked like a junior high school student, she was originally a refugee fleeing the war, and during an attack, she rode on a plane that was placed in the hangar at the time, and although she successfully defeated the enemy and protected herself and the shelter, she also had to stay on the Minerva as a pilot because of military secrets.

I have to say that her experience really reminded Talia of someone and someone and ......... Well, that's needless to say.

Naturally, not to mention Amari, she is a native of this planet and a member of the Demon Cult, one of the ruling forces on this planet.

Therefore, from the standpoint, none of these three people are Minerva's people, so they certainly won't hide any secrets from each other. This is also what Talia needs to avoid, after all, there are many dragons and snakes on this Minerva now, and there are people from all kinds of forces, if she only takes her own people, it will inevitably make people suspicious and uneasy.

And the reason why they were chosen instead of others is that these three people are relatively honest and will not make things like others at every turn......... This time, they used to communicate with each other, not to quarrel with each other. With the strength of the Inquisition, arguing with them would definitely be harmful.

After the preparation, the group of four came to the hatch, and then the hatch slowly opened——— and then everyone saw a girl in a maid's costume standing there, waiting for them.

"Master is waiting for you, please come with me."

After saying this, the maid made a gesture to the crowd, motioning for them to follow, and then turned and walked towards the passage on the other side, and Talia and the others hurriedly followed.

I have to say that seeing that it was a human in front of them still made them somewhat relieved, after all, the style of this battleship is too strange, and they are really worried about whether they will encounter any strange alien species......... But if the other party is human, then it is much easier.

But.........

This ship is amazing.

Walking in the corridor with the maid, Talia and the others couldn't help but marvel in their hearts. To be honest, in their world, the interior decoration of ordinary battleships is basically equal to nothing, of course, there is nothing strange about it. Or, in general, warships are like this.

But the warships of the Inquisition were clearly different, not only were they full of Gothic churches on the outside, but they were also completely different from many of the warships they had seen before, not only were the walls decorated with exquisite carvings, but even the walls were lined with huge statues of knights' armor, and even if you looked up at the dome, you could see the splendor and decoration on them.

It's more appropriate to say a castle than a battleship.

Not to mention the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows next to it.........

Talia looked out of the large glass window at his side and could see the scenery clearly. It is true that this looks like a good view, but in general, a battleship is not designed like this. The reason is also very simple, no matter what material glass is, it is more fragile than the alloy hull, and it is easy to break once it is attacked.

But the trial court did just that......... Is their technology already so powerful, or is there something else that can be done to avoid this problem?

While Talia was taking a closer look around and gathering information, the maid led them to the bridge.

"This is it."

As the bridge gate opened, Talia and the others also walked in, and after seeing the scene inside, the four of them were even more surprised.

Although they had seen many incredible things along the way, Talia could guarantee that even so, when she walked onto the bridge, Talia felt an unimaginable surprise and shock.

The luxurious palace-like bridge is not to be mentioned for the time being, after all, this is already a feature of this battleship, and other than that, the ——— that surprised Talia and the others the most was people.

Led by the maid, they had not seen the crew of the battleship all the way, and now, Talia had finally seen it.

I saw that around this hall, there were people standing guard everywhere, they were all beautiful blonde girls, wearing white armor, holding spears and shields——— but other than that, the most surprising thing was that these girls had a pair of white wings behind them, looking like angels in mythological stories.

To be honest, it even made Talia and the others feel as if they had strayed into a mythical world, as if they were not in some warship now, but more like in the palace of the gods.

And under the throne in front of Talia and the others, there were several young girls, all of whom were wearing very strange clothes, and they were looking at Talia and the others curiously at the moment. And on the throne of the high platform, a bald man with a fierce face who was several times taller than ordinary people was sitting there, staring at them faintly.

“…………………”

I have to say that the moment she felt the bald man's eyes, Talia only felt as if her blood was flowing backwards, and her whole body was extremely cold, as if she had seen some kind of terrifying beast, and she almost couldn't help but shiver. But fortunately, this gaze was only swept away, and it was quickly withdrawn.

"Hoo ..............."

Talia let out a sigh of relief and looked to the side, only to realize that the others who had followed him also looked like they had escaped death.

And at this moment, Duanmu Huai finally spoke.

"Hello, Captain Thalia, welcome to the Inquisition, I am Duanmu Huai, the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition."

"Hello, Mr. Inquisitor."

Talia also came to her senses at this time, and hurriedly bowed.

"I'm Captain of the ZAFT Coalition Minerva ........."

"I don't need to say this kind of polite words anymore, I heard, you want to talk to me?"

"Yes."

Talia nodded, then spoke to explain her intentions. In fact, her idea was very simple, which was to exchange information with the court, explain the current state of affairs, and ask if the other party would like to act with her......... After all, everyone is an outsider, and they may have a good relationship with each other.

Of course, Talia didn't dare to say that now, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and at present, the Minerva was not qualified to act in conjunction with the Inquisition. So she just explained Minerva's situation and expressed her hope for some help.

"Of course it's not a problem."

After listening to Talia's request, Duanmu Huai nodded.

"I can provide you with the supplies you need. By the way, I have a question, what do you guys want to do next? ”

"We're not sure yet......... Since we don't know how far this planet is from Earth, we want to fix Minerva first, and then find a way to leave this planet and return to Earth. ”

"Uh-huh..............."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, and then smiled slightly.

"So, I have a proposal, let's make a deal."

"Deal?"

"Yes, I'm interested in the world as well, so I'd like to be able to take a few of my men aboard the Minerva to join you. However, I would like to state in advance that the purpose of the Inquisition is not to intervene in the civil war of mankind, and our targets are only demons, aliens, and heretics. Therefore, if you were to fight other human forces, we would not be able to help. ”

"This ..............."

Hearing this, Talia was somewhat embarrassed, and frankly, she didn't want to let these mysterious people with unknown identities enter her warship. But to be honest, no one is strong in the form now, and the other side has shown good intentions, at least so far, plus ......... Talia also has her own little abacus.

She had already seen the warships of the Inquisition, and she could estimate the strength of the Inquisition, although Duanmu Huai claimed that they would not intervene in the internal battle of the human race, but once something really happened to the Minerva, they would definitely not stand idly by......... After all, the current situation of the Minerva is not very good, as can be seen from the fact that they are so embarrassed that they can't even find a place to repair and maintain.

At this time, if there is a force, it must be used.

"Okay."

Thinking of this, Talia made a decision.

"I promised."
