The battle was aborted, but the ZAFT army gave up the pursuit of the Archangel, and the Vethalius followed the rear of the Archangel with five Lorasia-class battleships, heading towards the previously agreed coordinates.

However, compared to the previous relaxation and comfort, the ZAFT army at this time frowned and felt deeply troubled.

"What the hell? These four MS. Captain Ardis looked at the heretical Gundam Blue Machine, the Angel of Power, the Angel of Wisdom, and the Angel of Virtue in the picture, and he had a lot of thoughts.

"Could it be another mech secretly developed by the Earth Army?" Aslan was suspicious.

"No, it shouldn't be." Kreuzer shook his head and directly rejected the possibility.

"That's ......"

"Have you analyzed their body data?" Kreuzer asked Captain Ardis.

"Based on the records of the last battle, there is a preliminary judgment." As he spoke, Captain Ardis opened the analysis data, "This blue airframe has worse overall performance than the X series, and it is not equipped with PS armor, but the pilot's skills should not be underestimated; The other three airframes are also not equipped with PS armor, but their overall performance is not inferior to that of the X series, which should be the same series of airframes, but not the blue ones, and the pilots are also good at it. ”

Hearing this, Aslan also dispelled his previous thoughts, convinced that this was not a new mech secretly developed by the Earth Army, after all, the X series was the forerunner, and they didn't even get their hands on the first batch of MS produced by themselves, and judging by the OS, natural people can't use it freely.

So...... Which force are these organisms?

At this moment, a familiar face flashed through Aslan's mind.

"Is it ......?"

There was a guess in his mind, but Aslan still didn't say it, he had once again violated his duty as a soldier.

"Hmm...... Have you found out what the organization is? Kreuzer asked.

"Yes......" Captain Addis explained to Kreuzer with two more documents, "...... It has been confirmed that the blue body belongs to the [Giant Serpent's Tail] mercenary organization, the leader is Cong Yunji, who is an adjuster, and the data shows that he and [Giant Serpent's Tail] are currently the best mercenaries, and the commission completion rate ranks first, and the industry's evaluation of Cong Yunqi himself is also quite high; Three more airframes...... Only the information of this logo can be found. ”

"Logo?"

"That's right, this is the logo of the mercenary organization [Celestial], but...... You can only find the name, member, establishment time, and task record...... Nothing is known, as if it came out of nowhere. ”

"Huh? That's interesting. The corners of Kreuzer's mouth curled, and he directly determined that the [Celestials] were just wearing the skin of a mercenary organization, and their true identity was very likely to be ......

"Captain, Captain Attis, if that Cong Yun impeachment is the adjuster, can we ......?"

"Impossible." Captain Ardis knew that Aslan had the idea of persuading the other party to surrender, and I have to say that he was really naïve.

"Why? We are all adjusters. ”

"[Giant Serpent's Tail] has been famous since it became famous, both the Earth Army and our ZAFT have invited them more than once, but they have all been rejected, money, beauty, power, status, the other party is not interested, just like an eagle flying freely in the sky, unwilling to be put in a cage." Kreuzer said to Aslan.

[Giant Serpent's Tail] He is still quite familiar with it, he himself has fought with Cong Yun's impeachment, and the two are comparable, which is commendable.

"How can this be ......"

Aslan couldn't understand that Kira was like this, and Cong Yun was impeached, they were all adjusters, they were all compatriots, shouldn't they unite together to resist the brutal and despicable Earth Army?

"People have all sorts of ideas, Aslan."

"Yes......"

"What about the [Celestials]? Can you get in touch? Aslan asked again, although he didn't know the other party's information, but he was able to drive the MS, and he was very good, only he could be a adjuster, at least Aslan thought so.

"It has already been done, and the other party has refused the communication request." Captain Addis said.

“……”

"Alright, Aslan, let's get ready for boarding, we'll be arriving at the designated coordinates soon."

"Yes."

"Addis, how many MSs do we have left?"

"Counting the Rackney team and the Porter team, there are still 17 [Jeans], and our team only has the Holy Aegis, Duel, Tempest, Thunderbolt, and the captain's [Sigu]."

"Is the loss so great?" Kreuzer frowned slightly.

"Most of it was lost in the hands of four unknown mechs."

"What a nuisance...... Entering the second-level combat configuration, after arriving at the agreed coordinates, all the MS units attacked and stood by near the battleship. ”

"Yes!"

The order was given, Kreuzer also left the bridge, this time he was also going to attack, the Eighth Fleet was coming, their chances were running out, it would be difficult not to sink the Archangel here, so that all the decisions he made from [Heliopolis] would turn into a joke.

……

The people of the Archangel were also quite nervous at this time, and they immediately arrived at the agreed coordinates, and their hole cards to save their lives were about to be handed over, the Eighth Fleet was not far away, but the enemy was too close, and the combat power was qualified to compete with the Eighth Fleet, and no one knew if the ZAFT Army would attack after receiving Lux.

Although both [Serpent's Tail] and [Celestial] showed strong combat power, even surpassing the Strike Gundam, the imbalance between the two sides' combat power was so serious that it could not give them a sense of security at all.

"Arrive at the specified coordinates, captain ......"

Maliu looked through the glass of the bridge and looked at the ZAFT fleet not far away, and her nervous heart couldn't calm down.

"[Morbius Zero], Fraka is on standby, so that Kira and the VIP are ready."

"Understood."

Ma Liu looked at Yang Hui, Yang Hui nodded, took over the work of communication control, and contacted [Giant Serpent's Tail] and [Celestial].

"All planes are on standby, if the ZAFT army abandons the responsibility of VIPs, they will make every effort to rescue the VIPs back."

"Understood." XN

"X105, Assault, Kira Yamato, Prepare to Strike."

"Understand, Yang Hui ......"

"Don't worry, I'll come back after sending people off, and ...... Lux"

"I know what to do."

"I'll leave it to you, Assault, please attack."

"Kira Yamato, attack, strike."

After the strike of the Gundam, he did not send Lux to the ZAFT Army as soon as possible, but stayed around the Archangel and waited for Yang Hui's instructions.

Yang Hui also immediately sent a communication application to the ZAFT army.

"This is the ZAFT Army, the captain of Team Kreuzer, Rau Lu Kreuzer."

The blonde masked man, the mysterious smile, even across the screen, the scheming and sinister temperament makes people feel uncomfortable, but the corners of Yang Hui's mouth are curled, this is the first meeting with Kreuzer, right? It's different, but Yang Hui is also looking forward to the next contact with Kreuzer, because ...... He needed an old fox and an old yin like Kreuzer on his team.

"This is Yang Hui, Miss Lux Klein is in the Strike Gundam, your fleet retreats to coordinates (762.124), and can only be received by the X303 Aegis Gundam alone."

"We do not agree to your request and cannot guarantee the safety of Miss Lux Klein and the X303 Aegis Gundam."

"You have no choice but to meet our demands, the fleet retreats, and the X303 Aegis Gundam comes to receive Miss Lux Klein alone, if you do not agree, we will treat you as a waiver of all responsibilities to Miss Lux Klein, and the return will be terminated immediately."

“…… Yes, we agree to your request, but please abide by the spirit of the contract and not allow any form of attack on Miss Lux Klein and X303 Aegis until the return is over. ”

"No problem, you guys retreat, arrive at the designated coordinates, and the return begins."

"Okay."

At the end of the exchange, Kreuzer reluctantly accepted Yang Hui's request, which made him very uncomfortable, I don't know how long he hadn't eaten deflated, and all the current actions were carried out towards his plan, but as soon as Yang Hui appeared, he was deflated one after another, and this feeling of being led by the nose was too aggrieved.

If he could, Kreuzer wanted to sink the Archangel along with Lux Klein and Yang Hui, so that the chaos he needed would be preliminarily completed.

But he didn't dare, the identity of the ZAFT army was still very important to Kreuzer and could not be abandoned.

"Captain......

"Back off, we don't have a choice, our priority is to get Miss Lux back."

"Understanding ......"

"Despicable natural man!"

"Damn! actually used Miss Lux's safety to survive. ”

"If it's a man, it's a decent fight!"

……

Everyone in the ZAFT army felt aggrieved and scolded Yang Hui's approach for being too despicable, since they are all soldiers, then put on a position and fight in a dignified manner!

Threatening them with civilians is the most despicable thing to do!

But they were helpless, and the MS troops could only retreat with the fleet.

The Holy Shield Gundam piloted by Aslan stayed in place and did not move, his mood was very complicated, he was about to take Lux back, and he could also meet Kira, he was still thinking about how to persuade Kira to come to ZAFT, as far as Kira's current ability was concerned, it could be reused immediately, and being able to fight side by side with his good friends was what Aslan was looking forward to the most.

and Yang Hui......

He wanted to figure out, why did Yang Hui do this? From the beginning of the [Heliopolis] encounter, Aslan has been thinking about this question, why did Yang Hui help the Earth Army, and threaten them with Lux's life, is it really because he is not a adjuster?

After the ZAFT fleet retreated to the designated coordinates, Kira and Aslan were instructed to move towards each other at the same time, and when they were about to reach the position where they were close to each other, both planes stopped at the same time and opened the cockpit.

Seeing that Lux and Kira were indeed in the cockpit of the Strike Gundam, Aslan breathed a sigh of relief, at least it wasn't a trap.

But when Lux flew out of the cockpit of the Strike Gundam and came to Aslan's side, he was dumbfounded.

Because...... Lux's spacesuit, in the position of her belly, rumbled, at least ...... Seven or eight months, right? Yourself this is ...... What's missing? Or did something happen!?
