With the destruction of the Archangel and the explosion of the Freedom Gundam, as well as the death of the pilot Kira, the battle has finally come to an end.

But for everyone, what impressed them the most was the murderous actions of the Inquisition.

Although everyone on the Minerva had seen the Inquisition's warships before, and they had also spent some time with Duanmu Huai and the others, they had never seen what the Inquisition was like during the battle because they had never fought together. In their impression, although Duanmu Huai and others are a little difficult to get close to, they are not objects that cannot be communicated.

However, the attack on the Archangel shattered everyone's minds, and for the first time, the Inquisition revealed its murderous side.

The war between the Earth Federation and PLANT is mainly about separating the winners and losers, just like the previous communication from Captain Talia to the Archangel, as long as the other side surrenders, they are willing to accept it.

But the Inquisition is different, for the Inquisition, the so-called enemy is to be completely destroyed, to be eliminated, not to leave a single one, not to negotiate, not to compromise. Like the Orb and Earth Federation Army that Minerva encountered before, if they were replaced by the Inquisition, I am afraid that they would only be destroyed without mercy.

Surrender? Non-existent, no matter what choice you make, while being deemed by the Inquisition to be enemies to be eliminated, they are destined to have only one fate——— and that is tragic death and total destruction.

"Well, then, it's time for us to take our leave."

Duanmu Huai looked at Captain Talia in front of him and said, the latter's expression was quite complicated, and now Talia finally understood why Duanmu Huai asked if he wanted to let go of the Archangel before, co-authoring for the Inquisition, they were already enemies. Originally, if Minerva had done it directly to the Archangel, there might not have been so much trouble......... Hey, now Talia has started to think about how to write the report after returning to PLANT.

"Hopefully, the next time we meet, we won't be enemies."

"As long as you are not enemies of humanity, then you are not enemies of the Inquisition. And I want you to remember that what seems like the right goal doesn't necessarily lead to the right outcome. ”

"I'll take that to heart."

Captain Thalia nodded, then looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Your Excellency, if I may, may I ask......... What's next for the Inquisition? ”

"We basically understand the issue of the Earth Sphere, and for the time being, it is only a struggle between the Earth Federation and PLANT, and it does not deserve the attention of the Inquisition. But now that the cosmic monsters outside the solar system are on the move, we're going to go to the edge of the solar system to fight the cosmic monsters. ”

Duanmu Huai is not nonsense, in fact, while they were running around Earth on the Minerva, Akot had been leading the Inquisition fleet to fight a large number of cosmic monsters on the edge of the solar system. It's also strange to say, I don't know if it's a coincidence, every time Arcot encircles and suppresses the cosmic monsters, eight times out of ten, they will meet the Exelion battleship they have seen before, and the latter is chased by the cosmic monsters every time.

Later, Arcot was speechless, and simply sent a fleet to hang directly behind the Axelion, and used them as bait to fish.

Although the Inquisition fleet has fought off cosmic monsters time and time again, Albert has discovered that these are just the vanguard squads of cosmic monsters. Their large forces are currently located in the Lyra's Bird's Head Galaxy, totaling more than 100 million, with wings about 80 AU apart.

This amount was already beyond the scope of Echot's combat authority, so she hurriedly consulted Duanmu Huai, and Duanmu Huai also made the decision to leave Minerva after receiving the news. After all, the-stirring stick of the Archangel has been destroyed, and what remains is the war between the Earth Federation and PLANT, which he does not plan to interfere with, in contrast, the cosmic monsters outside the solar system are more worthy of Duanmuhuai's attention.

Of course, for the sake of insurance, Duanmu Huai also explained the situation to Captain Talia and the others, at least let them be a little more careful.

"A total of more than 100 million cosmic monsters with a length of about eighty astronomical units........."

Sure enough, hearing this, the faces of Captain Talia and the others suddenly changed.

"You're not kidding."

"Of course not, if you are interested, you can go and have a look, the target is on the Lyra side, and the people who have come to the solar system are just miscellaneous fish, and the real army has not yet been dispatched.

"Trial Court ........."

"For the Inquisition, this level of enemy is not worth mentioning, and we naturally have a way to deal with it, and the reason why I tell you is that I hope you can grow a little longer."

"Shouldn't it be better for us to unite and fight the enemy together?"

"Can you convince PLANT or the Earth Federation?"

"Uh..............."

Facing Duanmu Huai's rhetorical question, Captain Talia was speechless, his own family knew his own affairs, although the threat of cosmic monsters was indeed great, but they were still far away in the constellation of Lyra, and it could be said that they could not threaten humans in a short period of time. Even if you report this news yourself, I'm afraid that the council will think that the other party may not attack humans, and if humans take the initiative to attack, it will anger the cosmic monster Yunyun......... Hey, in terms of politics, Captain Talia can't help it.

Of course, another reason is that despite the fact that the humans of this galaxy are fighting in the universe, they don't even have the ability and technology to cross galaxies. I can't go if I want to, so I can only stare here.

So it can be seen that no matter how much the fish in the fish pond fight, there will be no improvement.

"Mr. Inquisitor."

At this moment, I saw Setsuko suddenly look at Duanmu Huai and spoke.

"Will I be able to go with the courtroom? Regardless, I want to be able to repay you, and I want to do my part in the fight against cosmic monsters. ”

"Me too......... To be honest, I think it's better for me to deal with cosmic monsters than to fight between humans........."

Amari also raised her hand, and Yaz next to her quietly glanced at Captain Talia, and then silently raised her hand.

Of course, the reasons for the three are different. Setsuko Ohara wanted to repay the favor because she was saved by Duanmu Huai. And Amari herself has no interest in the idea of the Earth Federation and PLANT, and she also hates cannibalism between humans, and it is more suitable for her to fight cosmic monsters than to fight with humans.

As for Yaz's thoughts, she was originally a civilian, but later she was forced to become a member of Minerva because she accidentally rode in a mecha that was considered a military secret. As for Jaz, if he can take this opportunity to transfer from Minerva to the Inquisition, he can say goodbye to his forced military status.

After all, she is not a PLANT person, so there is no need to work hard for PLANT!

And the reason why they were able to make this choice was also because they didn't actually have a sense of belonging to the forces on both sides, Setsuko was from another world, Amari was a warlock from the Demon Order on another planet, and Yaz was even more of a civilian, unlike Captain Cuvatro or Amuro, anyway, their forces in this world were also on the side of PLANT, so they couldn't leave this war.

"Are you sure? For the record, the intensity of the battlefield in the Inquisition is not like the skirmishes you have experienced before, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. ”

“……………… I'm fine. ”

"Me too."

"Uh, I'll think about ........."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's warning, Setsuko Ohara and Amari both nodded, while Yaz was a little intimidated.

"I'm fine."

Duanmu Huai didn't care, and Captain Talia smiled wryly.

"I see, Miss Setsuko, Miss Amari, you are not a soldier of ZAFT in the first place, so you can decide whether you want to stay or not, as for Miss Yaz..............."

"Woo —————!"

Seeing Captain Talia looking at him, Yaz's body stiffened.

"I really didn't expect you to have such feelings, since that's the case, then I will appoint you as the representative of our Minerva to go to the Inquisition to help fight against the cosmic monsters."

"Uh............... I'm just talking now, is it too late? ”

"It's an order."

"Yes..............."

Yaz lowered her head in frustration, there was no way to do it, after all, she had signed an agreement with ZAFT, and she was nominally a soldier of ZAFT, not a free man like Setsuko and Ammary, so as a soldier, it was her duty to obey orders.

In other words, Yaz's plan to escape from ZAFT and regain his free body was a complete failure.

After this, the two sides separated, and Captain Talia struggled with how to write a report as he headed for PLANT. And Duanmu Huai led everyone back to the flagship three little pigs.

For Setsuko and the others, it was not the first time they had boarded this splendid battleship, but they were still amazed. Duanmu Huai motioned for Audrey to take them to his room, and then came to the combat command room.

"Ah, Uncle Inquisitor!"

Seeing Duanmu Huai walk in, Akot hurriedly stood up, while Shizuka next to him sighed.

"You're finally back."

"It's alright......... What is the current state of the war? ”

"The cosmic monsters' offensive has weakened, and I think maybe they are sensing the destruction of the advance force, so they are gradually starting to act more cautiously. But I think they will probably continue to grow in intensity......... And they are currently trying to break through the defenses of the solar system in all directions, and frankly, I think that one force alone may not be enough to deal with it, and at least two fleets will be needed. ”

"I see, I'll requisition two more fleets, thank you, Arcot."

While speaking, Duanmu Huai touched Akot's head and looked, it is convenient to have a commander, he can do everything for himself, and he only needs to be responsible for stamping the seal. This is much better than before, you must know that in the past, this kind of thing had to be done by Duanmu Huai himself, although it was convenient to say that it was convenient, but Duanmu Huai himself had to die of exhaustion.

After all, he's not that fond of real-time strategy.

If anything, Duanmu Huai would rather play civilization.

"No, nothing ........."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Akot's face also turned red and lowered her head, while Duanmu Huai patted her on the shoulder, and then looked at the others.

"Okay, you can also go and rest, and we'll talk about the details when we figure it out......... Well? Ann, what are you anxious about? ”

Looking at An's restless look, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but squint his eyes, Gu Leiya is not here, what the hell are you jumping up and down?

"Huh? Nothing, that......... Yes, I'm going to pick flowers, pick flowers..............."

"What the hell? Forget it, disband........."

"Click."

Just then, the door opened, and Mary entered, and when she saw Ann, her eyes lit up.

"Miss An, you're finally back, just right, I've already made what you want!"

"Shh———h

Seeing Maria, Ann also hurriedly ran to her side, covered her mouth, and then she turned her head and grinned at Duanmu Huai.

"Then, I'll go first........."

"Wait a minute."

As soon as An took a step, he was grabbed by Duanmu Huai by the collar and pulled back.

"What did you ask Mary to make for you?"

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

"Maria??"

Duanmu Huai looked at An and turned directly to Maria, who was stunned for a moment.

"Ah, Miss An asked me to build her a mecha ........."

"I knew you couldn't be idle!"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai glared at An viciously, and the latter immediately shrank his body in fright and stuck out his tongue.

"Because you're really handsome........."

"So you just want it? Well? No, you don't even have a drawing, how did you make it? The other party can't be kind enough to tell you the data of their mecha. ”

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

An quietly glanced at Lumiel beside Duanmu Huai, who took a step back with the same expression.

"Miss An, didn't you say that this was the commander's order?"

“…………………”

Good guys, all the ghosts, huh.

At this moment, Duanmu Huai was directly speechless.
