When Noel arrived at the hangar, Aslan was already waiting here.
"We...what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Aslan was just about to say something when he noticed something was wrong with Noel's expression.
"Why do you ask?"
Noel was stunned.
"It's nothing, I just see something wrong with your face."
Aslan shook his head and said nothing more.
"Is there any?"
Noel touched his cheek after hearing this.
But it was a bit rough to do this, and I don’t know what Lux’s reaction would be.
I guess there won’t be any bad reaction...
No, what if...
That’s not right. After all, it’s Lux. With Lux’s character...
But Lux is also a girl...
But I really don’t have much experience...
"Um·····"
"Noel?"
Aslan had already reached the cockpit at this time, and when he looked back, he found that Noel was still standing there without moving.
"What...when did you go up?"
Noel looked up in shock, only to find Aslan already standing at the door of the cockpit.
Aslan smiled helplessly upon hearing this, turned around and walked straight into the cockpit.
The other side.
Lux had returned to the bridge at this time.
"Hey, has something good happened to our princess?"
Andrew noticed the change in Lux's expression immediately.
When he learned that Noel had left, although Lux's expression did not change much, he could still detect some negative emotions.
But now - well, women's hearts are aching.
"Yeah, it's a good thing."
Lux smiled and walked to her seat to sit down.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is in a good mood.
"Um?"
Andrew felt a little strange looking at Lux's smile.
"Haha, it's really a good thing."
However, when he looked at Lux's palm placed on the dashboard of the seat, everything became clear.
"It's great to be young——"
Inexplicably, Andrew thought of his past, really...
Upon hearing this, Captain Malu also looked along Andrew's line of sight to Lux's.
The bright ring on the fingertip is particularly eye-catching.
"Haha, it's indeed a good thing."
A smile immediately appeared on Captain Malu's face, and he couldn't help but feel happy for Lux and Noel.
She still remembers what Lux looked like when Noel left.
'What is this uncontrollable emotion in my heart -'
Lux's former self-doubts were still lingering in her ears, but now - after experiencing so much, the two of them finally reached this point.
"Float up and set sail——"
With a feeling of relief, Captain Malu gave the order loudly.
————
Early in the morning——
In the Indian Ocean, where large and small islands are scattered, a huge warship floats.
That is the aircraft carrier of the Earth United Forces.
"This ship will set sail at o9:oo. The first combat configuration will be released. All maintenance squads will be on standby in combat status."
A broadcast sounded in the aircraft carrier, and all fighter planes and pilots had received the order to attack. A tense atmosphere immediately filled the ship.
On the bridge, Preia was talking to the person on the other end of the communication machine.
"You want me to send out all the Windhams in my team? Are you kidding me?"
The other party yelled loudly, his tone full of suspicion.
Unfortunately, facing the other party's roar, Preia just replied with cold eyes: "Please understand, I am not requesting now, but ordering!"
"What bullshit order? The order I received was to build a defensive stronghold against the Kapantalia base. We are the troops sent to build the frontline base! The task has not been completed yet, how can I let you mobilize MS...!"
"The enemies are all ZAFTs, right? It's the same for anyone you attack. Also, you've talked enough nonsense. Hurry up and dispatch all your troops. If you have any questions, you can submit your opinions directly to the military headquarters."
"But until the military command comes down, you have to listen to me!"
Preya immediately hung up the communication after speaking.
He doesn't care about any bullshit base. He is just looking for friendly troops that are closest to him and have MS that can be mobilized.
As for what the other party's mission is, it is not within his scope of consideration.
This is the privilege of the Phantom Pain Force.
Commander Phantom Pain only needs to bring the minimum required team members and equipment to the mission location, and the rest can be dispatched on the spot, including ship types and soldiers.
Of course, this is not absolute. After all, the Phantom Pain Force is useless to some military leaders.
For example, some fleet commanders can only obey orders from those people.
If faith only has the right to make expedient measures.
The Phantom Pain has authority over ordinary frontline commanders.
"Where are the Chaos Gundam, Gaia Gundam, and Abyss Gundam?"
Preia hung up the communication and asked the soldier next to her.
Upon hearing this, the MS controller immediately replied: "The entire aircraft is ready for attack."
"Very good, this ship will stay where it is and don't move. I don't want to be without a warship when I come back."
After giving the order to the captain, Preia looked down at the screen again, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth under the mask: "We finally meet..."
There was a special heat pattern on the desktop screen, which clearly marked the name of the Minerva.
"After preparations are completed, let them attack immediately. At the same time, Fubuki Shenyi Unit 1 and Unit 2 are ready to attack. This time, no one can save them."
After speaking, Preia turned around and walked out of the bridge.
Because the Atlantic Federation wants to transport a certain item to the Eurasian Federation.
The Phantom Pain trio were sent out.
As for the other people, they were also transferred to various bases for defense.
Now there are only five MSs on the battleship, namely the extended trio and Niya and himself.
But this amount was enough to sink Minerva.
Soon, a broadcast sounded in the hangar, and the battleship door slowly opened.
"Chaos Gundam, please take your place..."
"Gundam Abyss, please take your place——"
"Gaia Gundam, please take your place——"
As the order was issued, three MSs took off one after another.
However, Gaia Gundam jumped to the coast to take charge of base defense.
In addition to the fact that Gaia Gundam cannot fly, after all the MSs in the base are deployed, there must be something left to give the base manager peace of mind.
With the departure of two ms.
Fubuki Shenyi No. 1 and No. 2 units also left the base one after another.
At the same time, the chuck Thalia base.
Taking into account the strength of the Suez garrison, ZAFT increased its support this time.
After receiving the order from the headquarters, the Minerva, the Nila and the Cambu submarines set off from the Carpantalia base.
In addition to the fixed armament of the Minerva and the six umf/sso-3 ashes that are standard on the two submarines, they also brought twenty ama-953 barbie air combat ms.
AMA - 953 Barbie is used by Zaft to replace the original Zaft air combat MS Dean. Not only does it have more powerful firepower, armor and flight speed than Dean, they are also deformable MS.
This is also the reason why Thalia chose to go to the Gibraltar base before Noel and Aslan arrived.
[Beep, beep, beep——]
"captain!"
However, just a few hours after setting sail, Bato, who was responsible for searching for enemies, shouted loudly amidst the sound of sirens.
At the same time, many light spots appeared on the heat source detection screen in front of him, gradually approaching the Minerva.
Thalia looked at him in surprise.
The atmosphere on the bridge suddenly became tense.
"Heat streaks vs. Windam—number, fifty-five!"
When Baator shouted this number, Thalia couldn't believe her ears.
"Fifty-five?"
This number of MS aircraft groups is definitely not a group that happened to be on guard nearby, but an enemy formation set up with the calculation of victory.
Ba Tuo's expression froze and he added:
"One of them is the Chaos Gundam, the Abyss Gundam!"
"Chaos Gundam, is it that troop?"
For a moment, Thalia felt her heart tighten.
The unknown battleship - the troops of that mysterious battleship also landed on the earth?
Are they hunting us?
