The dark room was very quiet, with only the slight sound of the machine and the occasional whispered conversation of the full-time technician.
Preya looked at the end of the room in trance in the control room, where there were three round beds, side by side like sorrel leaves.
The beds were covered with a domed glass cover, and the three young drivers were lying inside in different sleeping positions.
To be honest, their sleeping faces are as innocent and cute as young children, as if they don't understand the troubles or fears in this world.
Even now after undergoing genetic expansion, the three of them still need to carry out later 'repairs' due to innate reasons.
Preia stood behind the captain's seat and asked Colonel Li, "How long will it take to get to location B?"
"About two hours."
the operator replied.
Li looked at Preia tentatively: "Do you think there will be a pursuit?"
"I don't know, but just because I don't know, I assume there will be. There is nothing wrong with thinking about the worst at all times, especially on the battlefield."
As Preya spoke, the face half-covered under the inorganic mask vaguely revealed an inhuman coldness.
[Colonel Preya, here is the latest order from the military! 】
"I am coming over now."
After Preia finished speaking, she turned around and glanced at the trio before turning and drifting towards the bridge.

At the same time, the battleship Minerva.
"I really don't know what to say to express my apology..."
Durandal said in his usual diplomatic tone.
Behind him, the captain of the ship, Thalia Kuradis, also helped to apologize.
"It is our negligence to involve you, princess, in such a situation. Please forgive me."
Aslan and Cagalli were led to the captain's cabin of the Minerva.
Although their identities were confirmed and secured, Aslan couldn't help but feel depressed and complicated.
After paying so much price, in the end, peace could not stay with the world for a long time——
If this is the result of the sacrificial battle, then what is the meaning of the pain and sacrifice...
For a moment, Aslan couldn't help but picture his father's face in his mind.
Cagalli, who was sitting in front of Durandal, had a bandage on her head, her face was pale and her head was lowered, looking a little dazed.
"Are there still no clues about that unit?"
After a while, Cagalli finally couldn't help but ask.
Durandal was silent for a moment and then responded vaguely: "Yes, after all, we even have ships..."
"At least there is no 100% clear evidence yet."
In fact, this sentence is already very clear.
Anyone who is not a fool knows where the power behind it comes from, but because there is no concrete confirmation, it cannot be said clearly now.
Even if you know that the Gadi Ru once served the Atlantic Federation, the Gadi Ru has never been recorded in the Atlantic Federation military files.
In this case, even if everyone knew that this was the work of the Atlantic Federation, there was still nothing they could do about it.
"Of course, we will step up our efforts to stabilize the situation, at least before the situation becomes irreversible, and nip all unstable factors in the cradle."
At the end, Durandal's tone couldn't help but become a little heavy.
"Um."
A trace of regret appeared on Cagalli's face, and she nodded firmly: "The world today can no longer withstand any stimulation!"
Her hands were clasped tightly in her lap as if in prayer.
The world is on the verge of balance. It is just barely maintaining the balance of power on the table. Even a small stimulus will make this peace disappear in one breath.
Especially the contradiction between natural man and adjuster.
"By the way, if you don't mind, please take a look inside our ship while you still have some time!"
Durandal made an invitation to the two of them with enthusiasm as if to break the deadlock.
Now it was Captain Thalia's turn to have a look of astonishment on his face.
"speaker……!"
She warned in a low voice behind Cagalli's back.
This ship is Zavod's latest warship. Of course it is a state secret. How can it be easily shown to foreign heads of state?
Even Aslan's eyes revealed the impression that the Speaker's proposal was too rash.
Durandal seemed calm and composed.
"Although it is temporary, the princess has entrusted her life to us. As an ally, our country should also show due sincerity."
As soon as the Speaker said this, Captain Kuradis could not object, otherwise it would be like denying this alliance relationship.
Aslan became more and more confused about this Durandal.
Is he a pure personality? Or is there a deeper intention behind it?
——————
"Having said that, I still can't believe it! It just doesn't seem real."
Peering into the cockpit of Zaku Phantom, Vino sighed.
"yes……"
Youlan answered dully while typing on the keyboard.
"How could things suddenly turn out like this!"
Vino continued to complain to his compatriots, and Yolan also sighed sadly.
The launching ceremony was not even held before being thrown into actual combat, and the crew members were also confused, not to mention recruits like Vino or Yulan who had never experienced actual combat.
"But, shouldn't this start a war...what do you think?"
Vino lowered his voice and quietly sought Yulan's agreement.
Yolan just shrugged and didn't answer.
Shin Asuka listened to the conversation between the two of them and walked across the hangar.
War - his eyes became slightly gloomy.
This battle almost shattered his self-confidence.
The group of people who sneaked inside to seize the MS were able to demonstrate their strength the first time they got on the machine. If it weren't for the help of the two MS this time, everything might have been over.
As he thought about it, his eyes passed over the two Zaku Phantoms not far away that were still in a state of repair.
It is now known that one of the stations was piloted by Captain Noel Cassia.
But the other one——
"Hey, do you know who flew that Zaku Phantom?"
Although I felt a little knotty in my heart, it was a fact that I saved my life, and I should at least say thank you to them.
But I saw the two of them tilting their heads and thinking for a long time.
At this time, a voice from behind shouted:
"It's Ashar's representative from Orb!"
The person who answered was Ray Zabarel.
"Eh?"
This was also the first time Lunamaria had heard of this.
"Ashar of Orb?"
Zhen Feiniao thought he heard wrongly.
At the same time, in the corridor inside the ship.
Noel found Durandal and his party.
"Mr. Noel?"
Before Noel could speak, Durandal, who was leading the way, spotted Noel first and said with a surprised expression: "I didn't expect you to be on the boat."
The tone of surprise was just right, as if he had just learned that Noel was on the battleship.
Noel was stunned for a moment, and said with a somewhat inexplicable expression: "Yes."
"Are you driving the other Zaku Phantom?"
Durandal suddenly continued to ask.
Noel looked at Durandal, who had been knocked down, and resisted the urge to punch him and said: "I am sorry for violating the military regulations."
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. If Mr. Noel hadn't acted righteously this time, the consequences would have been disastrous. I think those in the military department would understand."
Durandal waved his hand magnanimously and excused Noel: "What do you think, Captain Thalia?"
"I will explain it when I submit the report to the military department."
Thalia looked at the performance of the two bastards in front of her with mixed emotions.
But she had to cooperate with the performance.
"Thank you in advance, Captain Thalia."
Noel felt bad all over.
He obviously came here to cause trouble, but it turned out to be his own fault.
"Speaking of which, where is Captain Noel planning to go?"
Durandal continued to ask.
"Find a place to rest."
Noel replied.
"Is that so? You might as well visit the battleship with us. You happen to be familiar with the princess."
Durandal asked Noel in a questioning tone.
After hearing this, Noel looked at Aslan and Cagalli, pondered for a moment and then nodded.
