The Archangel finally arrived at Fort Artimis. This military base belonged to the European Union and was located in the fifth universe. It was a small-scale military stronghold built on a border asteroid.
It wasn't a very important military stronghold, but it was famous for its unique defense system. The entire asteroid was covered by a light wave defense belt. No object or weapon, not even laser waves, could penetrate this layer of defense. Therefore, it was called the " Umbrella of Altimis ", an absolute defense weapon that could be called an iron wall.
At first, Marius was worried that the Archangel, which was built under extreme secrecy, would not have any military identification code and might not be able to enter the port smoothly. He did not expect that after a simple application, the other party would agree so readily.
However, before entering the port, Mu suddenly found Kira, who was accompanying Flay on a stroll on the ship.
"I'm sorry, I need to borrow your friend for a while!”
Mu smiled and greeted Flay, then hugged Kira's shoulder and went to a corner.
"What's wrong?"
Kira asked. Mu Yu answered mysteriously.
"Go and encrypted the activation program of the assault Gundam. Make it so that no one can activate it except you.”
"You mean…"
"You accepted our permission to enter the port so readily. No matter how you think about it, there must be a problem. In short, there's nothing wrong with being careful!"
"I understand!"
Soon, Mu's worries were proven to be correct. The Archangel had just entered the port when it was surrounded by armed soldiers and the UA. The airlock was broken, and the soldiers all rushed in. The passengers were so shocked that they could not speak. They were forced to gather in the dining room by the armed soldiers.
"What's going on?"
Facing the furious Marius, the officer of the European Union smiled fawningly.
"It's just that we're allowed to seal off your ship's control and firearms control as a basic measure. This was also a last resort, right? Your ship is not registered, and of course, it does not have the identification code of the alliance army. Although we have judged the situation to allow entry, unfortunately, we have not recognized your ship as an ally.”
Although what he said made sense, it was somewhat contradictory. If they were really worried about the possibility of enemy forces, they could have refused to let the Archangel enter the harbor.
The officers separated them from the other passengers and brought them into the interior of Artimis, surrounded by armed soldiers. After entering the commander's office, he saw a burly bald officer waiting inside.
He was Gerard Galucia, the commander of Artimis.
" Welcome to Artimis.”
He deliberately put on an attentive attitude and invited Marius, Natar, and Muru to take a seat.
"I see. Your ID does seem to be from the Atlantic Federation.”
After they reported their names and ranks, he roughly used the computer beside him to search. Mu said sarcastically.
"I'm sorry to have made you spend so much effort.”
"No, it's nothing. I've heard of your name as well.‘Hawk of Antimion. I also participated in the battle at Grimaldi's front line!”
For some unknown reason, Galucia started to befriend Mutao. Mu followed the other party's tone and continued.
"Is that so? Was he in General Bivat's army?”
"Yes, although the battle failed, the fact that you shot down five Zeons gave us a lot of motivation!”
"Thank you for your compliment!"
Mu replied politely. He did not think that the other party would let go of a big fish like them on account of his face.
As expected, Galucia quickly asked.
"But why did you come here with that warship?”
"Due to a special mission, please forgive me for not being able to report in detail.”
Looking at Mu's nonchalant manner of avoiding the main point, Galucia narrowed her eyes.
"But I don't know where the so-called secret came from. Of course, I think that the value of information is higher than 'where' and 'what is it'.”
"…I see."
Sitting next to the confused Marius and Natal, Mu pulled a long face. It seemed that his previous speculations were correct. However, Natal had yet to realize what Galucia was up to, so she went straight to the point.
"If possible, I hope to get supplies as soon as possible. We have to get to the moon headquarters as soon as possible. Besides, Zaffet is probably still tracking us-"
"Zafte? Is this it?"
Before Natal could finish, Galucia sneered and turned on the screen on the wall.
What was shown on the screen was a ship that was anchored in the universe near Artimis.
"Lao Ya level!"
Compared to Marius and the others, who could not help but hold their breaths, Galucia did not make them feel nervous at all.
"As you can see, those guys are already looking outside the 'umbrella'. It's been a while."
Looking at the nervous trio, he smiled maliciously.
"Now, even if we have supplies, we can't get out.”
"Those people are chasing us."
Mu said.
" If we stay any longer, I'm afraid it will endanger Fort Artimis. If possible…"
His words were interrupted by Galucia's sudden burst of laughter.
"Did you say 'imperil'? This 'Artimis'? What stupid words! I know very well how afraid those guys are of this satellite. The battleship would leave soon. Just like usual, he couldn't do anything.”
The three of them looked at the commander speechlessly. The person in front of him had no idea how dangerous the X-series was. Only when he saw the regulator pilot the Gundam in battle could he understand the horror and danger.
After laughing, Galucia returned to her previous solicitous attitude.
"It won't be too late for you to contact the Moon Command after they leave. Before that, you should rest well. I see that you're all quite tired.……I'll get someone to prepare the room immediately."
In other words, control our freedom of movement?
Mu pulled a long face and pondered. As the soldiers were being led away, Mu turned to Galucia.
" Is Artimis really that safe?”
The commander, who had already turned his back to them, glanced at him and replied in an extremely confident tone.
"It's safe, just like being in a mother's arms.”
