After talking to the others, Halberton planned to meet Yifei with the three of them. He left the meeting room and found Kira and Yifei. General Halberton had no intention of forcing them to stay.
"When it's time to disembark, you're a little reluctant, right?”Halberton interrupted Kira, who was deep in thought.
"I'm shocked by the abilities of you Modifiers. These Gundam were only able to barely resist ZAFT's mech warriors. I didn't expect it to become an incredible super weapon in your hands.”Kira wanted to interject, but Halberton did not give him the chance. He continued,"Your parents are also natural people, right? Why did they turn you into adjustors? No matter what, I really want to end the war as soon as possible.”
Then, Halberton looked at Yi Fei and said,"How many years has it been, child?"
Halberton's words shocked everyone present. Then, they all looked at Yi Fei, but Yi Fei only said quietly,"Long time no see, Uncle Halbaton."
Ignoring the shocked crowd, Halberton continued,""How's your sister?”
"I can already walk normally, but it's still a little difficult."
"Is that so?"
Halberton sighed. After all, he hadn't discovered it in time.
From Halbaton, Mary learned that a six-year-old boy was filled with hatred for the Earth Corps because he did not discover the internal problems of the Earth Corps in time. When he heard Natal's report about the Neo Drive, he decided to confirm if it was the child from back then. He did not expect it to be him, and Mary did not expect that Yifei would have a bad relationship with the Earth Corps because of a girl.
When the adjutant came to report, Yi Fei looked at Halbaton and said,""Extremists are the source of war, not the mediator. The dead are gone, and the living must live better. For the sake of peace, you should take care.”
Halbaton was silent for a moment. The adjutant finally interrupted and asked the general to return to the warship. Before leaving, he gave us his blessings again and finally explained the role of Will to Kira.
The bridge of the Archangel
"Barr, activate! The rear missile tube is loaded with Cosmin!"
Natalie gave the order to prepare all the equipment systems.
"Gottfried, Lohengrin, prepare to fire!”
Even though he knew that Yifei was a powerful fighter who stayed on the Archangel, it still couldn't solve the problem of insufficient manpower. A series of orders kept Jacky busy. He secretly cursed," Damn it!" because they had to last until they reached Antarctica with so few people. At this moment-
"Sorry, we're late!"
The bridge door opened, and the young men's clear voices rang out. Marius and the others turned around in shock. Dole, Sai, Mirialia, Kaz, and the students of Heliopolis walked in energetically and sat in their previous seats.
"You guys…"
Marius asked in a daze.
"Since you are all willing to stay and be volunteers, I can allow it.”
Natalie said to Dole and the others. "Before Colonel Hoffman left, he said that if the students were willing to stay, they could get my permission directly.”
Natalie gave a brief explanation as if she had known about this situation. Marius blinked her eyes as she realized something. The incident with Sheely made her realize that not everyone knew about the teenagers 'decision.
"Oh right, Kira got off the boat."
Sai Yi, who was seated at the Cic, said as if answering Marius's confusion.
"It's probably going to be hard for us to replace him, but, hey, it's better than nothing, right?”
Thor, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, gestured to Neumannen, who was driving. Jacky glanced at the two people behind him and smiled. The passengers, who were originally dumbfounded, were now filled with joy as they accepted their existence.
However, he had mixed feelings. On one hand, she was grateful for the determination of the youngsters, but on the other hand, she felt that the responsibility on her shoulders had increased. They had their own considerations when making this decision, but these children were too young and too naive. She couldn't help but worry about what kind of shadow their decision would cast on their lives.
However, she had to bring these children to Earth safely. ZAFT
" Seal off all the cubicles. All subjects, get into position immediately! Three minutes later, the MT will be activated. Everyone, check your systems…"
The door of the infirmary opened, and Y'zaks ran out in a frenzy. His upright face was half-covered in bandages, looking a little haggard from the pain.
"No! You still have to rest…"
"Long-winded! Let me go!"
The medic chased after him and wanted to grab him, but he shook off his hand and rushed to the deck of the ship in exasperation. The wound on his face stung, but what hurt him even more was his pride.
In the previous battle, the assault had damaged the duel's electrical system, causing a small explosion in the cockpit. The explosion had damaged Y'zak's helmet, and the fragments of the mask had scratched his face. If the cockpit had cracked, it would have threatened his life.
However, Y'zaks was not happy about his survival.
As a Red Specter Elite, he hoped to reach a higher level. Of course, Y'zaks believed that he had the ability to improve, and he had established merits again and again to prove this point.
He should have been able to easily defeat the Earth United Army's MS. However, he failed three times. Previously, he had thought that it was because of Aslan that he had not succeeded. He was different. As long as Aslan was not in the way, he would definitely deal with those guys next time. With such an idea in mind, they rushed to fight before the enemy ships met up with the lunar fleet.
However, while Assault had dodged his attack like a child's play, he had also dealt with his own Mech and Nicole's Thunderbolt with ease. He had even been injured.
How could this be? Being injured by a mere natural person was simply a great humiliation! Y'zaks had always believed in his own ability and believed that the value of a person depended on his own ability. Such an injury was undoubtedly worse than death.
I must wash away this humiliation!
Y'zaks changed into his driver's suit and sat in the duel.
"Stop, Y'zaks! Aren't you…"
"Stop nagging! Hurry up and guide!"
The control officer stopped him in surprise, but he did not let him finish his sentence hysterically and started the duel. The voice of Kruze calling out to the entire MSS came from the radio.
" The only target is Long Legs! Don't waste time on other things!
Of course, Y'zaks didn't intend to spend time on other goals.
As Keane approached, the dark sea of vacuum blossomed with flowers of fire.
Mabius and Keane opened their cannons. After dodging Mabius 'missile, Keane fired a rocket launcher. Ignoring the explosion, Ma Keane turned to his new prey.
The four G's were like tigers among sheep. With their mobility and overwhelming firepower, they shot down the Earth Alliance Army's MAs one after another and approached the fleet.
On the bridge of the Mineraos, Halbaton, who was watching all this, could not help but sigh.
" Damn it…G-series…!"
"It's indeed an impressive MT…but it's a little tricky to turn into an enemy.”
Hoffman said coldly.
Seeing that the center of the Eighth Fleet was still motionless, Kruze said in a bored tone.
"It seems that no matter what, Halberton still wants Longshanks to land on Earth ~ He hid her behind so carefully.”
"It's easy for us. We don't even need to launch a surprise attack.”
Adelis was also a little bored. Compared to the combat power of the Archangel, dealing with those MAs was simply too easy.
"He already knows that he can't defeat us with battleships and the UA. He's a smart general, and I heard that he was the one who ordered the development of those.”
Kruze's voice was as cold as ice.
"Then at least in this battle, we will prove his theory for him…!”
Just as Kruze said, the four G's went straight for the fleet after eliminating the M's that came to die. It didn't take long for them to teach the Earth Corps how to behave.
"Selecus has been shot and is unable to fight! Ka Shan has to be silent!"
"Antigona and Tolemy were sunk!”
In the bridge of the Mineraos, the operator's panicked voice kept ringing out. Hoffman, who was sneering at first, stood up in shock.
"What is it? It had only been six minutes since the battle began…and they had already lost four ships?”
At this moment, the enemy ship in front of the long-range ship moved.
"The enemy ships Nazca and Lauya are approaching!”
"Selecas and Kashande are being targeted by the lasers!”
"What…?"
"They're actually planning to attack a warship that has left the battle line…? Damn it…Kruze!"
Halberton said angrily.
" Aslan and Nigel are too naive…"
On the bridge of the Phissalis, Kruze muttered to himself with a sinister smile.
"As long as we leave them alive, they will use new weapons to deal with us.”
The main cannons of Phisalus and Gamow fired at the same time. With a blinding flash of light, the two Destroyers were sunk.
The screen showed the scene of Selecas and Cassander exploding. The cruel and merciless actions of Team Kruze caused the crew of the Archangel to fall into a cold silence. The captain's communicator received the message, and Marius picked it up.
'Hey! Why am I on standby?
Vlada's voice was filled with anxiety.‘Even the 8th Fleet would be in danger against those four!'
"Captain Vlada!"
"... Sigh, even if I send one out, it won't change much!'
"This ship has not received the attack command! Please continue to stand by!"
'But'
Then, he cut off the communication.
'Looks like Mu can't hold it in anymore,' thought Mary.
Type Zero had already recovered to its peak condition from the previous rush, but at this moment, it could only watch helplessly at the disadvantage of our army. Of course, Vlada was under a lot of pressure.
Marius felt the same way.
Protecting the ship and sending it safely back to headquarters was the most important task for the Eighth Fleet, including Marius and the others. Once the Archangel was destroyed or missed the opportunity to land on Earth, it would be meaningless. She understood all this, but was it alright to just stand by and watch?
She thought hard for a while and finally made a decision.
"Get me the Mineraos!”
Halberton appeared on the screen with a flustered expression. Behind him, there were constant sounds of " Use the beam!”、"Shoot it down!" shouted.
"What's wrong?" Halberton's voice was close to an angry roar.
"I want this ship to leave the fleet and immediately enter the landing procedure.”
"What did you say?" Halbaton said in astonishment.
Hoffman, the adjutant, cut in and said angrily,"Do you want to escape on your own?"
"The enemy's target is this ship," replied Marius sternly. If I don't leave, the entire fleet will be destroyed!”
"It may be difficult to reach Antarctica, but from this position, we can still land within the Earth Corps 'air control circle! As long as they could hold on until the critical point of atmospheric entry, they would be able to get rid of Keane and the Zaphte warship!”
She did her best to explain, not intending to compromise.
"Your Excellency!"
A bitter look appeared on Halbaton's face, and his subordinate made it clear in a few words that such a large fleet was unable to compete with three enemy ships and a dozen MSSs.
With a bitter smile, he said to Marius,"'…You're still as reckless as ever, Marius Lamias.'
"…All the subordinates learn from their superiors.”
Marius responded with a smile.
'Alright! The Archangel immediately prepared to land. We will definitely send you to the critical point. Not a single wolf in hot pursuit was allowed to pass!'
Marius 'enthusiasm seemed to have ignited a fire in the admiral's heart. A reliable smile appeared on his face as he turned back to the passengers and gave orders.
The Mineraos opened communication channels to all the ships.
" Mineraos to all ship control groups. The fleet is about to move to the defense line to escort the Archangel to the critical point of atmospheric entry…"
Suppressing the increasingly intense deathmatch in the vacuum, Halberton's deep voice resounded.
" This will be a harsh battle, but for tomorrow's battle, this warship is a warship that our army must not lose. Immediately regroup! Don't let the enemy pass through our rear!'
'Let them see the potential of the Earth Corps!'
It was the crystallization of his passion, and also the hope of the soldiers fighting on the front lines-to defend the Archangel and attack!
His firm willpower surpassed words and inspired all the soldiers. While Halbaton was giving his speech, the Archangel began its landing procedure.
'All personnel begin preparations for atmospheric entry.'
"Landing? Under such circumstances?"
Vlada turned around and shouted at Madrick.
The Archangel had chosen this time to land on Earth while the intense battle raged on. He was very dissatisfied with this kind of gambling behavior.
"It's useless even if you shout at me. Sigh, it's better than continuing to drag it out, right?”
"That's not what I meant. It's just that…"
"Even if we get rid of the Zfft and Keane, those four planes are still a problem, right?”
A familiar voice suddenly rang out, startling both Vlada and Madrick.
"-little imps?"
Kira and Yifei, who were in their pilot suits, flew over as usual in a weightless state. Vlada and the others were tongue-tied for a while. The young pilot, who should have gotten off the ship a long time ago, said straightforwardly as he passed by the two of them.
"I'm on standby in the assault. Let's still fight in the first position, right?"
Yifei also interjected.
"I won't leave until Milia and the others are safe."
"Didn't he get off the ship?" Madrick was puzzled.
"This should be their own choice.”
Vlada muttered to himself as he watched the young man drift towards the cockpit.
"Going to the battlefield at such a young age will make life very difficult.”
Madrick glanced at the man who was known as the Eagle of Antimion. His tone was not as carefree as usual. Instead, there was a hint of loneliness in it. When Vlada was famous on the battlefield as a top-notch driver, she was probably older than Kira, but she was still young.
Compared to the mature Yifei, Kira's words at this moment, whether it was his personal experience or his future life…
