ce.November 16, 1972.
The war in the Thirteenth Jungle continues to rage.
With the help of the expansion people and Preia and others, the Atlantic Federation single-handedly fought against East Asia and Eurasia in the Thirteenth Jungle battlefield without falling behind.
You can even fight with twice your own strength.
As the beams of light intersected, countless fireballs exploded from the sky.
The melee between the three parties caused the originally green dense forest reserve to be covered in smoke.
Countless fallen giant trees tell the story of the tragedy here.
At the same time, the deep sea was thousands of miles away from the battlefield.
The Archangel successfully rendezvoused with the Archangel and the Pheasant.
There aren't a lot of words or dialogue.
"The whole ship is ready to attack!"
The three warships began to sound their alarms at the same time, conveying this order.
The three warships set off together and rushed towards the battlefield of the Thirteenth Jungle.
Inside the Archangel.
Noel put on the MS pilot suit that he had been away from for a long time, and boarded the elevator leading to the Archangel's MS storage warehouse with Mu La Flagg.
"I never imagined that I would board MS at the same place as you."
In the elevator, Mu La Flag looked at Noel beside him and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
The two people who had fought life and death actually attacked at the same time in this way. I thought back to the time when I was shot down twice by this guy.
It really makes people lament the impermanence of life.
"hehe."
Noel just smiled when he heard this, watched the elevator door slowly open, and said, "I hope this won't be the last time."
"Um?"
M. La Flagg looked stunned.
Looking at Noel walking out of the elevator, Mu La Flage didn't understand the meaning of Noel's words for a moment.
the last time?
Didn't Noel join the Three Ship Alliance?
Ignoring Mu La Flag's doubts, Noel stepped out of the elevator and stepped on the steel bridge and walked straight towards the Covenant Gundam on the left.
"Young man, long time no see."
Cojero Madek, the chief maintenance officer of the Archangel, stood in the cockpit and smiled at Noel and said hello.
"It's been a long time indeed."
Noel looked at the scrawled face of the other party, and subconsciously the image of the Sky Overlord appeared in his mind.
Until now, Noel still didn't understand how the Archangel had an Air King. It was obvious that the Air King had not even been equipped with the Archangel at that time.
Now think about it, piloting an atmospheric fighter to fight in a space war, it's really a big deal if you don't die.
"These are the various adjustment parameters of the Covenant Gundam. See if there is anything that needs to be adjusted."
As Kojero Madek spoke, he took out a noteboard and handed it to Noel.
The Covenant Gundam was extremely damaged during the South American battlefield.
However, due to the Junius Treaty, the Covenant Gundam, which was already on the destruction list, was not repaired even after it was taken into custody by the Carpantalia base.
Later, when Noel left the Carpantaria base, Lux took the Covenant Gundam away with him.
So in general, all maintenance work on the Covenant Gundam relies on Orb and Archangel.
And it only started recently.
This is also the reason why the Covenant Gundam was placed in the MS maintenance bay.
"Thanks."
Noel reached out and took the noteboard and looked at it. Some parameters really needed to be adjusted in the battleship.
At least he can't be as evil as Kira.
"Noel——"
Just as Noel was looking at the clipboard, Lux's voice came from the direction of the elevator.
"Lux?"
Noel looked up and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw Lux chasing after her with a hesitant expression.
Cojero Madek looked back and forth between the two of them, smiled and patted Noel on the shoulder, saying: "There is still a little time before we arrive at the battlefield."
After saying that, he turned around and passed by Lacus, heading towards the elevator.
He is different from Mirialia and others who ran around after the armistice. For professional reasons, he has been working in the rebuilt Dawn Society.
So he knew more or less about Noel and Lux.
"How did you come?"
Noel put down the clipboard and asked Lacus.
"this……"
Lux came to Noel, took off a ring from her white finger under Noel's gaze, and handed it to Noel.
Noel looked at the delicately carved and shining silver ring on Lux's hand, and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, not reaching out to pick it up immediately.
Lux had no intention of retracting her arm when she saw this, but she didn't say anything either. She just looked at Noel silently, with a trace of panic in her firm eyes.
"Take it back, it's an important thing."
As he spoke, Noel pushed back Lux's palm holding the ring and said with a smile: "You should be very clear about my situation. It is not suitable for me."
He knew the meaning of the ring, but it was precisely because of his knowledge that he could not accept it.
His body had undergone some changes without him knowing it, although his performance during this period should have been good.
But he himself couldn't be sure whether this was a return to the past or a real development in a good direction.
In this uncertain situation, Noel cannot make any promises.
"It's just because it's important that I entrust it to you for safekeeping, isn't it?"
With a little more force in Lux's hand, she pushed him in front of Noel.
The thoughts contained in these words made Noel couldn't help but look at Lux's expression in surprise.
Lux didn't say a word, just stared at Noel with her clear and beautiful eyes.
"Thanks."
Looking at Lux's fluorescent eyes, Noel suddenly felt relieved.
While speaking, Noel took the ring from Lux, but he did not wear it on his hand.
However, just when Noel was about to put it into his pocket, Lux suddenly took out a necklace from her pocket and turned the ring into a pendant in Noel's stunned eyes.
Looking at the pendant necklace in Lux's hand, Noel couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Is this the so-called ultimate plan?
Lux didn't say anything, she just stood on tiptoes and approached Noel with the necklace in hand.
In an instant, a fragrance lingers in the nose. It is not as strong as a rose, nor as light as a daisy, but it makes people feel comfortable and comfortable.
The two embraced each other under the gaze of the covenant.
After a moment, Lux slowly lowered her toes, reached out and touched the ring on Noel's chest, staring at Noel with crystal light in her eyes, and her helpless and uneasy expression was no longer the same smile as before.
"Please come back, come back to me."
She didn't know when she would see him again this time. She only hoped that during this parting time, her ring would remind him of her occasionally.
This emotional voice was deeply ingrained in Noel's heart, and Noel couldn't help but look at Lux's face in ecstasy.
At this moment, Lux was stronger than Noel had seen.
But at the same time, he was more confused, fragile, and easily broken than he had ever felt.
"I will."
Noel held Lux's hand and nodded with a smile.
Witness the light of peace illuminating the world together in a future full of singing——
Noel never forgot this promise.
