Inside the Archangel, people were whispering uneasily. A group of soldiers with guns stood at the entrance.
"…What? What happened?"
" Why didn't you explain to us…"
The refugees who did not know what was going on whispered to each other, but the passengers were also confused.
"I say, aren't you allied with the European Union? Could it be that they were not on good terms with the Atlantic Federation?”
Sai Yi asked Jacky.
"It's not that problem!"
Jacky replied fiercely. Paar sighed.
"Sigh, it's all my fault for not having the identification code…"
"Is this problem that serious?"
Thor asked, and Dalida answered with a wry smile.
"It seems so!"
"…I think the real problem lies elsewhere.”
Madrick said thoughtfully, and Neumman nodded with a bitter expression.
Although the Earth United Army was said to be so, it was not a united group. With the common goal of fighting against " Zfft," the Earth Union was established at C.E. 70, but it was formed by different countries. The North American continent, Central and South America, and other major countries formed the Atlantic Federation, while the European-Asian Federation, as its name suggested, was mainly composed of European countries from the north to the west of the European-Asian continent, including some Northern European countries. Other than these two consortia, the Republic of East Asia and other small countries formed the so-called Earth Union.
With so many small groups, it was inevitable that there would be power struggles and interference from the big countries. Coupled with mutual restraint, it was difficult to say that they were working together.
The " Archangel " and the " Assault Gundam " were the new weapons that the North Atlantic Federation had secretly built with the help of the community outside the organization. Although they were all allies, it was impossible for the European Union not to pay attention to this. To Fort Artimis, the Archangel was a meat bun delivered to their doorstep. Once it entered their mouth, they could forget about leaving unscathed.
Kira, who was sitting on the other side, listened to their discussion, but her expression was unmoved. He had already locked onto the Gundam, and with his trust in Marius and the others, he believed that the matter would be resolved in the end.
The only thing worth worrying about now was the Zafte army outside.
After experiencing a few battles, his intuition had become sharper and sharper. It was the same when he had a premonition that the Archangel would be attacked. Although he was inside Artimis now, he could vaguely see the warship of Zaphte outside. The sense of danger also came from there.
"Kira, what will happen to us?"
After waking up, Flay, who had been sticking to Kira's side, held his hand worriedly.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine.”
Kira held Flay's hand and gave her a reassuring smile. When Milia saw this, her eyes flashed with sadness. Sai was also disappointed, but their attitudes were completely different.
Milia had long realized this. Even if Kira and Flay became close, she could accept it. However, Sai was still holding back his anger. He thought that becoming a temporary crew member of the Archangel would change Flay's opinion of him. However, after he retreated from the bridge, he saw that Flay had been staying with Kira. There was no room for him to interfere at all.
In his heart, he had already made up his mind to find a chance to be alone and have a good talk with Flay.
Although their freedom of movement was restricted, it was a rare opportunity for the crew of the Archangel to rest. After the initial chaos and uneasiness subsided, the crew also tacitly agreed to the current situation. The tired rested and the hungry ate.
The soldiers who were in charge of monitoring them didn't seem to care about them. As long as they didn't do anything special and left the Archangel, they would ignore them.
"How long is this state going to last!”
Dalida came to the dining table with a plate. Jacky, who had already started eating, shook her head.
"I don't know. If the captain and the others don't come back, we won't know anything!”
"You can't make a scene against your allies!”
Paar glanced at the soldiers guarding the door with dissatisfaction.
The situation was much more complicated than he had imagined. Sai could not help but feel a hint of regret.
"There are all kinds of things in the Earth Corps!”
"This is the so-called politics!"
Thor was very relaxed. For him, no matter how bad the situation was, it was better than being chased and killed by " Zapht." After experiencing the crisis of the collapse of Heliopolis and the subsequent pursuit, his psychological quality had greatly improved.
"In short, we can only wait for news from the captain. Trust them."
Kira finally opened her mouth to speak, causing the crew in the dining hall to look over at the same time. Seeing Kira's calm attitude, they seemed to be infected. After the three sergeants left, Kira, who was the temporary pilot, had become the person with the highest status among them. Moreover, with his power, he also had the greatest say.
"Kira is right. We can only wait for news now!”
Jacky echoed, and everyone else nodded.
At the same time, there was also a discussion on the Gamow.
"Laser or physical bullets can't penetrate the 'umbrella,' although the other party can't hit it either!”
"In that case, they won't attack? How could there be such a stupid thing?"
Diaka said in annoyance and glared at Captain Sarman.
This person had a big beard, and his clothes were meticulous. His personality should be very strict. Compared to this bearded captain, Diaka obviously preferred to follow Captain Kruze.
Moored in a position where they could see 'Artimis', Captain Sarman, Y'zaks, Diaka, and Nigol were giving a briefing on the bridge of' Gamow'.
There was no strict hierarchy in the Zaphte army, only the titles of captain, captain, and so on. Because the basic intelligence level of the army was very high, the soldiers were allowed to make independent judgments on the front line of the battle, instead of just following the orders of their superiors. Of course, it was a different story for commanders like Kruze, who had great prestige and brilliant military achievements.
Diaka was still leaning his body and looking nonchalant, but it was Nicol who was staring at 'Artimis' on the strategy panel with great seriousness.
"At this stage, we still don't have a way to break through that 'umbrella'.”
"What should we do? Wait for them to come out?"
Diaka chuckled, but Y'zaks glared at him impatiently.
"Diaka, is this the time to joke? When Captain Kruze returns to the front line, do you want to report that we've accomplished nothing? That would be embarrassing!"
Hearing his words, Diaka could only remain silent. At this moment, Nicholas suddenly spoke.
"This 'umbrella' shouldn't be activated frequently, right?”
"Yes, when there are no enemies around, the 'umbrella' will close. But if we try to get close while it's closed, they'll notice us before we're in range, and they'll start again.”
Similarly, Diaka spread out his hands and made a gesture of surrender. However, Nicholas said again.
"My Mech, the Thunderbolt Gundam, might be able to do it.”
Y'zaks and the others, who had always looked down on him, looked at him in surprise. At some point, a mischievous expression appeared on Nicol's gentle face.
"Other than the phase transfer armor, it also has an interesting function.”
