At the same time, the battle outside Orb's territory was also in full swing.
Kira has been holding back the Aegis Gundam attacking the Engine Department for a while.
"Aslan, get out of the way! Let me deal with this guy!"
Just then Duel Gundam suddenly came over.
"Yitzhak! Now is not the time to pass!"
"Cut the nonsense!"
With rage boiling in his chest, Yitzhak drew out his beam rifle and started shooting rapidly at the Strike Gundam.
Kira looked at Yitzhak who was obviously moving forward, calmly blocked the beam with his shield, pointed at the aircraft at Yitzhak's feet and pulled the trigger.
"piu——"
"What!?"
"Boom——"
Because the distance was too close, the aircraft under the Duel Gundam's feet was immediately penetrated by the beam and exploded.
Faced with this situation, the Duel Gundam had no choice but to quickly throw away the aircraft, drew out its lightsaber and jumped towards the Strike Gundam which was not far away.
"We can't let him come up!"
Kira watched Yitzhak's movements and immediately activated the fine-tuning thruster on his back, and while jumping high, he also drew his lightsaber.
"昘——"
Two light blades flashed through the air, leaving behind sharp afterimages——
"How can this be!?"
Yitzhak looked at the broken hilt of the Duel Gundam and the disappearing light blade, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
How could this guy suddenly become so strong! ?
"Yitzhak, be careful!"
"Yitzhak!"
"boom--"
However, while he was stunned, the Strike Gundam turned around and kicked the Duel Gundam's back thruster.
While kicking him into the sea, he used his strength to jump to a higher place, and in front of him was the Thunder Gundam that came to support him.
"Damn guy! Die!"
As Yitzhak was kicked away, he flipped his body over and set up a beam cannon on his back to attack the Strike Gundam.
Unfortunately, due to balance reasons, Yitzhak's beam attacks were completely evaded by Strike Gundam.
"ah--"
Nigel was stunned by the Strike Gundam's double jump. He had no time to react and collided with the Strike Gundam that was rushing towards him.
Although he reluctantly raised the beam rifle, the distance between the two parties was too close, and the Strike Gundam was knocked off the spacecraft with his shield.
"昘——"
Kira piloted the Strike Gundam and did not pursue it. Instead, he pierced the aircraft with his lightsaber with his backhand.
Then he looked at the two enemy planes falling towards the sea, turned around and jumped back onto the plywood of the Archangel, picked up the beam rifle and started to fight back.
"Kira...you..."
Seeing the two people being dealt with neatly, Aslan had mixed feelings in his heart. Kira's growth rate was too amazing. In just three months, he had reached this point.
Although Yitzhak has elements of recklessness in him, it does not mean that he is weak.
And Nicol——
"Aslan..."
Kira looked up at the red machine in mid-air, feeling bitter in his heart.
"hateful!"
At the same time, in the passage inside the ship that was shaken by the bullet, Cagalli punched the wall hard, feeling extremely regretful in her heart.
She just recognized the red aircraft among the four enemy aircraft attacking the Archangel.
The face of the young soldier illuminated by the fire came to mind.
Aslan····
Recalling his name, Cagalli couldn't help but have a thought in her mind, should I really have pulled the trigger at that time...
If she had killed that person at that time, maybe the ship would not have been in danger... However, this thought was thrown away by her as soon as she thought of it, because she - she really couldn't hold it down.
"Orb troops appear in territorial waters!"
In the bridge, Arnold Neumann, who was in charge of the helmsman's main gun, suddenly spoke.
"What did you say?"
Lieutenant Bakki Lulu and Captain Malu were both shocked when they heard this.
"Eh? Are you here to help us?"
Kaz, who had been curled up in his seat, suddenly let out a cry of surprise when he heard this, with a hint of hope in his voice.
Even several other young members showed expressions of surprise. After all, for them, Orb is their motherland.
"We are too close to the territorial waters, left rudder 15!" Captain Malu hesitated and said. The appearance of the Orb army was not good news for them.
"but····"
"In this case, once we are attacked by Orb, we will really be doomed!"
Ma Liu naturally knew that there was not much room for evasion now, but there was no way, that was the fact.
Before Maru could finish her explanation, Cagalli, who rushed into the bridge, couldn't hold back her impulse and shouted, "Don't worry about them! Just rush into the territorial waters like this!"
Hearing her voice, the crew members turned their heads in shock.
"I'll go talk to Orb! Hurry!"
"You're going to tell me? But..."
Ma Liu was confused and was about to ask what happened——
"The deployed Orb fleet is calling!"
As soon as Pal finished speaking, the communication screen opened on the front screen.
The face of a general was reflected in the slightly chaotic image quality, saying: "Notify the approaching Earth military ships and ZAFT forces——"
Cagalli looked at the other person's face, inadvertently glanced at the follower Chisaka, and looked at the screen randomly and sternly.
"Your ship and fighter plane have approached the territorial waters of the Orb-United Chief State. Our country is a neutral country and does not accept any armed ships, aircraft or mobile suits entering its territorial waters or airspace. Please change the route immediately!"
Listening to the soldiers of my country say these words.
Kaz and others still had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
On the other hand, Ma Liu and others immediately became serious.
"Once again, please change the route immediately! If you do not obey our military warning, our fleet will exercise the right of national self-defense and attack you."
"Attack, attack...even us? How come...!"
Kaz shouted involuntarily, and Thor and others also looked stunned.
Cagalli was shocked when she heard this, then roared and rushed to the communication seat, saying: "Leave him alone! Continue to the territorial waters!"
As he spoke, he snatched Kaz's headphones, turned on the microphone and roared: "In this situation, you can actually say that!"
"The Archangel is about to enter Orb's territorial waters now! But you are not allowed to attack!"
Hearing such a rude tone, even the general in the picture opened his eyes wide.
"who are you!"
These words were so willful that the other party couldn't help blowing his beard and glaring at her on the screen. If he couldn't hit anyone, he would have wanted to come over and slap her twice.
Listening to the other party's roaring questioning, Cagalli pushed back without any weakness and said: "Who are you? If you can't make a decision, take over the Executive Yuan...take my father..."
Cagalli hesitated for a moment, then shouted: "Call me Uzmi Yula Asghar! I...I am Cagalli Yula Asghar!"
"hiss--"
"What!?"
Everyone who was born in Orb couldn't help but gasp. No one in Orb didn't know Uzmi's name.
The head of state, although he is just the predecessor, is still the head of state. He is also the head of the Ashar family. Doesn’t the Orb resident know about such a person?
If Uzumi is Cagalli's father, then wouldn't she be... a princess! ?
The entire bridge was silent, and everyone looked at Cagalli with stunned expressions.
Only Cagalli's follower Chisaka shook his head helplessly, summing up in two words - tired!
The general who heard Cajiali's words on the other side of the screen couldn't help but be stunned for a long time. He swallowed and calmed down for a while, then stammered and said, "You...what are you talking nonsense...! What's going on, Princess?" Maybe on that kind of battleship!”
His reaction was reasonable, after all, anyone would be shocked if he suddenly encountered such a thing.
But driven by passion, Cagalli just gritted her teeth and yelled: "What did you say?".
The general was startled and continued hurriedly: "Even if it's true! But without any evidence, it's impossible for me to accept what you said!"
"you……!"
[Beep, beep, beep——]
Kajiali was about to shout back, but an alert suddenly came from the battleship radar.
"Detected the approach of unregistered MS! Two in number! One of them belongs to ZAFT - Gates!"
