"Reinforcements from Orb..."
When Preia received the order in the bridge, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
Especially when I saw the special note at the end of the order - the Lord Angel will also accompany him.
"Aircraft carrier one and frigate six are expected to enter the area tomorrow evening."
The captain conveyed information about Orb.
They are currently anchored in Suez and awaiting orders. They may continue to pursue the Minerva or may receive new missions.
But no matter which item it is, they have to find a base nearby for supplies.
"It's really a good plan to drive away wolves and devour tigers, but I just don't know who is the fisherman -"
Recalling the recent situation and some intelligence, Preia showed a trace of sarcasm on his face.
————
"Earth Army reinforcements?"
Noel, Aslan, and Heine were called to the captain's room together.
Thalia nodded in front of the map panel and continued: "Yes, I just don't know if they plan to attack Gibraltar or come here."
In addition to the four Faiths in the ship and room, there was also Deputy Captain Arthur, who was staring at the map nervously.
"-However, since reinforcements are still being sent at this period, it is most likely to save face. On the one hand, they probably also want to regain the land route to Suez. The headquarters also has the same view."
In other words, what was taken away must be taken back.
Aslan looked at the map worriedly. Since ZAFT captured Carnahan, all the cities in this area have been separated from the control of the alliance.
Judging from the friendly reactions of people in various cities to ZAFT, it can be seen how they were oppressed by the alliance before.
Now, the reinforcements from the coalition forces may once again change the power map of neighboring areas, and all their efforts will be in vain.
Noel, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but ask: "Except for reinforcements, what is Suez's current combat strength? I mean, what is the approximate size of their troops?"
As soon as these words came out, Talia's face turned bitter.
"Quantity is not an issue...it's just that there is a high probability that it may be Loanglin's troops."
Upon hearing this, Aslan and Heine were instantly shocked.
"Are you sure?"
Listening to Aslan's inquiry, Thalia replied: "Those people should also come. After all, there is no need to use them on other fronts."
Aslan and others were suddenly enlightened when they heard this.
Because Plant insists on independent defense operations, if the Earth United does not attack Plant, then Plant will not launch an attack on the Earth United.
This means that the Earth Alliance can completely deploy elite troops to encircle and suppress the Minerva.
This is also the reason why the Earth United Elite Forces are a group when they arrive.
In fact, if other fronts do not take the initiative to launch an attack, they only need to equip corresponding basic troops.
"It's really over."
Noel also felt a little dizzy. He had been a little upset recently, but he became even more upset when he heard about this.
He actually wanted to run away, but because he couldn't figure out what Lacus meant and couldn't contact Lacus at all, he didn't know whether he should run away or not.
It's fine now, I don't have to run away even if I want to.
He ran away from the battle and couldn't even wash himself.
"--Anyway, this ship is about to attack."
Thalia did not worry about this issue for too long and said: "We will be the vanguard - the entrance to the Sea of Marmara, guarding the Dardanelles Strait. We are scheduled to sail at 06:00."
"yes!"
Noel and others responded immediately.
Thalia looked at the new crew member Heine again and confirmed with him.
"You too - okay?"
"Okay, of course."
Heine's attitude was still so generous and calm, which made Thalia feel relieved a little.
As Heine said before, when four faiths are on the same ship, the issue of unity of opinion becomes very important.
But for now, this shouldn't be a problem.
Speaking of which, this is all due to Heine's cheerful and open-minded character.
"Then, I'll go prepare for the voyage right away."
Arthur stood up, and the three of them saluted together, preparing to exit the captain's room.
Before they reached the door, they heard Thalia calling to Aslan and others: "There is one more thing..."
The three of them stopped and looked over.
But seeing Thalia's eyes seem to be worried, she said: "This time the reinforcements for the Earth Army are actually the Orb Army, and according to the intelligence, the Lord Angel may also participate."
Aslan didn't understand what she was saying at the moment, but once he understood it, he was stunned.
Arthur, who had just walked out the door, couldn't help but gasped when he heard this: "Orb?"
"Lord Angel Number?"
Noel was concerned about another issue.
Isn't the main angel number Kira?
Why does this have anything to do with Kira Yamato?
"It's hard to say... After all, they are a member of the United Nations."
Thalia rarely spoke vaguely, perhaps because of Aslan's mood.
Aslan tried hard to resist the cold feeling that went up from the soles of his feet.
"Ob, Kira...how could it be...!"
Orb has always been proud of not invading other countries, not allowing other countries to invade, and not intervening in the disputes of other countries.
Uzumi entrusted the future to Cagalli and everyone, and the figure who died holding on to her pride seemed to appear before her eyes.
Even as he was indignant, Aslan couldn't help but hesitate.
So, in the next battle, will I have to fight Orb...
And the main angel number——
Seeing Aslan's inner struggle, Thalia warned solemnly and clearly: "The current Orb is the Earth Army."
Aslan was speechless for a moment and could only look into her eyes.
Thalia lowered her voice and warned again and again: "Can you?"
"……yes."
Aslan clenched his fists and finally answered.
That's it for returning to the military.
Once he was in the army, he could not go against the interests of the colony after all.
Aslan understands rationally, but his emotions are confusing.
He chose this path because it was the only way he could do it at the time, but was it really good?
Especially thinking about the life-and-death battle with Kira, are we going to make the same mistake again——
"Noel, the Kira in Aslan's mouth——"
Heine looked at Aslan's absent-minded look and subconsciously asked Noel.
You have to say that Heine's character is indeed a bit cheerful.
It was as if the unpleasantness of the restaurant that day had disappeared.
"Kira Yamato, the pilot of the Freedom Gundam."
Noel glanced at Heine and replied helplessly.
I originally thought that with the addition of Heine and the others, the battle would be much easier.
As long as we are not besieged, or if there are fewer people coming to besiege, it will really be like chopping melons and vegetables.
But with the addition of Kira——
With Kira's strength, even if the performance of the machine he is driving is not the strongest now, it is still enough to hold him or Aslan back.
You can even drag the two of them directly.
This is not to say that Kira's strength is superior to the two, but because of Aslan's character, once Kira stops there, Aslan's strength will be reduced by at least 50%, plus the enemy is Orb——
Well, Aslan might as well be a Luna Maria.
And it would be impossible for him to deal with Kira in a short time.
