"Noel?"
"Noel is here?"
The three of Kira were also stunned and looked around in disbelief. However, no matter how they looked, they never found any trace of the covenant.
"Repeat! Noel Cassia! Return to the Fesalius immediately to execute the second combat order!"
"Heh, it seems I don't have to think of ways to help you..."
Listening to Cruze's announcement, Noel sneered and flew the Covenant Gundam towards Mendel Port.
I was still thinking about how to help him, but after working on it for a long time, I was within the scope of his plan.
I just don’t know what his second combat order means...
————
"Seal it up with CNT glue first!"
"What? Then one more shot and it's over?"
"Otherwise, just find a talisman and stick it on it, and pray that the other side doesn't hit it!"
"Aren't you being arrogant?"
"Then do you want cnt glue?"
"······"
The Archangel, which had single-handedly blocked the Archangel, was particularly badly damaged.
In the space port dock, the battleship maintenance project is in full swing.
Adjuster pilots who are proficient in engineering are on hand to provide ways to increase efficiency.
Aslan, who was wearing a red driving uniform, was also among the maintenance crew, busy repairing the damaged main gun "Positron Cannon" on the starboard side.
The M1 Heretic Gundam, which was out for reconnaissance, flew in from the port.
"Mayura's return report!"
Mayura, one of the three girl pilots, reported clearly: "There are three Nazca-class ships! They are just behind the waste outside the port on the opposite side!"
Upon hearing this report, the expressions of the three captains on the communication line darkened.
"Three Nazca-class ships are here at once. This welcome ceremony is really grand!"
Although Andrew spoke leisurely, there was still a seriousness in his expression.
Malu also sighed. In addition to worrying about ZAFT's battleship, he was also worried about Diaka, Kira and others who ran into the satellite.
It's really a wave of ups and downs. The Nazca class is a high-speed ship and it's not easy to escape.
If it were a head-on confrontation, even though both sides were equally outnumbered, the existence of the Lord Angel was still a sharp sword hanging in their hearts.
"Where is the Lord's Angel?"
Chisaka also thought about the same question.
"Still no movement!"
Although the Archangel temporarily retreated, it remained at the outer edge of L4. It seemed like it was observing the movements of the ZAFT ship or waiting for the arrival of other Earth forces.
"Three Nazca-class ships...whose troops are outside?"
Andrew couldn't help but mutter to himself.
If we could know who the commander on the opposite side was, we might be able to judge ZAFT's intentions.
Listening to Andrew mumbling to himself, Ma Liu replied smoothly: "It's Team Cruze."
"It's actually that guy... he really thinks highly of us."
Andrew couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
Cruze, that's not a good person.
"Captured full-band announcement broadcast from ZAFT!"
Suddenly, Jackie's voice broke everyone's thoughts.
"ZAFT's full-band broadcast?"
"Put it out and listen."
Andrew was stunned for a moment and then ordered.
"Beep—Noel Cassia, please return to the Fesalius immediately and execute the second combat order!"
"Repeat! Noel Cassia, please return to the Fesalius immediately and execute the second combat order!"
"this····"
Listening to ZAFT's full-band broadcast, Lux and others couldn't help but be stunned.
What does this mean? Gu Yan
Find someone?
"This second combat order seems to be very important."
Noel, who had just left Mendel Port, heard this broadcast as soon as he came out.
After looking at the direction of the port, Noel flew the Covenant Gundam towards the Fesalius. Since Cruze had his own plan, then——
"If I remember correctly, Noel Cassia seems to be the pilot of the Covenant Gundam, right?"
Andrew said and couldn't help but look at Lux.
"It's him." Lux nodded and replied.
"Do you know his position?" Andrew asked thoughtfully.
Lux's eyes flickered when she heard this, and then she shook her head silently under Andrew's gaze.
She knew what Andrew meant by his position, but unfortunately she really didn’t know what Noel’s position was.
It’s okay to say he’s close to the Sara faction, and it’s okay to say he’s close to the Klein faction.
"Is that so? That would be troublesome..."
Andrew said with a wry smile when he heard this.
Although he had never actually fought against the Covenant Gundam, he could get a glimpse of it from his pursuit of the Eternal that day.
In this situation, Covenant Gundam's stance is enough to change the fate and outcome of the three parties.
Captains Cagalli and Malu, who were aware of the covenant's combat power, also had gloomy expressions.
Although they hate to admit it, their situation is indeed not good.
"Every ship please supply and prepare as soon as possible."
Lux looked past the crowd, and her sweet voice carried unparalleled firm will as she said solemnly: "We must not be knocked down by any party at this moment before the real enemy is knocked down!"
"The distance is one to two zero, three Nazca-class ships."
Using the waste as a cover, the operator anchored on the bridge of the Archangel not far from the colonial satellite and reported truthfully.
Natal sighed and turned her eyes to the man in a suit in front of her. At this time, he seemed to be enjoying the feeling of weightlessness, floating and admiring the scenery outside the window.
"Your Excellency Murtagh, in this situation where the enemy's strength is unknown, the party that takes the first action will be at an extremely disadvantage."
"ah?"
Hearing Natal's slightly angry tone, Murtagh turned his head and looked over in confusion.
"We should ask for support now, then withdraw temporarily and wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then attack after reorganizing the situation!"
At first she thought reinforcements were really coming, but upon closer inspection, only three aircraft from the 81st Independent Mobile Group were found.
It would be enough to just deal with the Archangel, but it wouldn't be possible to add a ZAFT.
After all, strictly speaking, their real enemy is ZAFT.
Moreover, we just received a broadcast communication from ZAFT, and the combat effectiveness of the Covenant Gundam cannot be underestimated.
As someone who relied on Strike Gundam to break through the sea and return to Earth, she knew very well how much impact a new Gundam paired with an ace pilot could have on the battle situation.
This is how the Eighth Fleet was destroyed back then!
"Eh-you still don't understand."
Listening to Natal's words, Murtagh sighed deliberately and said: "Professional matters should be left to professionals. As a soldier, you only need to be responsible for fighting."
After Murtagh finished speaking, he ignored Natal's increasingly angry eyes and continued: "Besides, only by completing impossible tasks can you be called outstanding - in our business world, this is just common sense."
His tone sounded as if the world he belonged to was superior to the military organization.
Natal couldn't help but reply: "This is a battlefield. Failure means death!"
"It's the same in the business world - by the way, you're not the kind of person who doesn't fight until you win, right?"
Faced with Murtagh's last words, Natal was speechless for a moment.
Seeing that he had caught her weakness, Murtagh stopped taunting her. Instead, he turned his gaze forward and said: "Although that is also good... But if you don't work harder at this juncture, you won't be able to succeed." The one who wins in the end!”
This is indeed true to the point.
"We can't stay here forever. Those guys are also ready... Please come on more in a while!"
Murtagh ended the conversation as if that was the end of the conversation.
Natal grimaced and said nothing. In the end, she still couldn't change Murtagh's mind.
"Oh, by the way, there may only be four machines that can help you deal with the Archangel this time. I have my own arrangements for the other two machines."
Murtagh came to the elevator and said this to Natal as if he had thought of something.
Then, regardless of Natal's anger, he reached the elevator and left the bridge with a smile.
