The next day.
A tense atmosphere hovers over the Gibraltar base.
The originally happy LOGOS crusade alliance became wary.
The atmosphere between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT has become inconsistent.
According to the latest intelligence, a spy force affiliated with the Earth Alliance suddenly attacked the Gibraltar base last night.
Fortunately, they were discovered by alert soldiers as they infiltrated ashore.
A fierce gun battle broke out between the two sides.
Although many ZAFT soldiers suffered casualties, fortunately they did not have too much impact on the base.
But among the sacrificed soldiers, there was one person that countless ZAFT soldiers could not accept - Noel Cassia.
The MS combat pilot known as the strongest natural man, known as the Red Death, did not die on the battlefield, but died in a sneak attack without warning.
The battle broke out very close to where Noel Cassia lived.
Noel Cassia, who was resting in the villa, was affected by the fighting and unfortunately died.
"How's the search going?"
In the office of the temporary combat headquarters, Durandal asked his subordinate adjutant.
"The incident happened suddenly, and the place was destroyed by fire. Not much information has been sent back for the time being."
The adjutant replied with a helpless expression.
"Is that so, are you sure Noel Cassia is dead?"
Durandal continued to ask.
"Fragments of a body similar to his size were found in the villa, Noel——"
"What I'm asking is, are you sure your people actually killed him with your own hands!"
Durandal directly interrupted the adjutant and asked with cold eyes.
"Wha, what, what do you mean, Speaker!"
The adjutant was startled by Durandal's words.
"I'm not pursuing your responsibilities and problems, and I don't want to pursue them now."
As Durandal spoke, he slowly stood up from his seat, came to the window and looked down at the Gibraltar base, and said: "I just want to know one thing now, whether you really killed Noel Cassia with your own hands."
An accident did occur last night, and a raid did occur.
But the key thing is that the process by which this happened has changed.
The unknown force should have come to rescue Noel Cassia. As for the source, it is possible that the Sarah faction or people from Lax Klein.
Of course, this is not the crux of the matter.
The crux of the problem is that his plan was disrupted.
In order to ensure that Noel Cassia's reputation in ZAFT's army was minimized, he gave Noel a choice that was not a choice.
Die, or die by defecting to Zaft to save Lux.
With Noel's character, he would definitely choose the latter.
He also planned an opportunity for Noel to defect.
For example, we can use the help of the 'Old Sarah Faction and the Old Klein Faction' to rescue Noel and clean up the political arena.
Because only in this way can the impact of Noel Kasia's future rebound be minimized, and only in this way can Noel Kasia be legitimately killed.
He will also have a lot of room for maneuver in the future.
But now, a sudden attack completely disrupted his plan.
What's even more deadly is that the New Klein faction, the forces behind his adjutant, made small moves during this attack, trying to forcibly remove Noel Cassia.
Of course, this matter is not really unacceptable to me.
After all, the attack has occurred.
There is also the possibility that Noel Cassia faked his death and escaped, and Noel Cassia's death can be considered a good result.
So the first task now is to determine whether Noel Cassia is dead or not.
"According to the news from the soldiers, they did shoot and hit Noel Kasia. Judging from the location of the hit and the number of shots, there was no chance that Noel Kasia would survive."
When the adjutant heard this, he did not continue to hide it and told the news he had learned.
According to the soldier's recollection, Noel Cassia was indeed shot three times in the back.
And because the distance was not too far, even if he wore a body armor in advance, these three shots would be enough to kill him.
"Where's the body?"
Durandal turned around and asked.
"Taken away by the other party."
the adjutant replied.
Durandal frowned slightly when he heard this. He was not satisfied with this answer.
But things have developed to this point, and there is nothing we can do if we are not satisfied.
But I really have to find a way to resolve the political chaos once and for all.
These guys are too presumptuous, and they start to take action when they see the general trend coming, and it is a burden to keep their food and wine bags.
"Issuing an announcement that Noel Cassia was killed in a battle with the spy force sent by LOGOS!"
Although Durandal wanted to return immediately and deal with all those who were holding him back, there was a more important thing at hand - the crusade against LOGOS!
All subsequent actions are based on the successful crusade against LOGOS.
"Yes, but in this case, the charges against Noel Cassia -"
"Publish an announcement and hold an emergency press conference later. I will attend then."
Durandal had no interest in explaining such stupid questions.
"yes."
Although the adjutant was unwilling to hear this, he had no choice but to comply.
"Adjusters are not all smart people."
Durandal raised his head and sighed after speaking.
If this matter is not left to LOGOS now, it will be troublesome if it is labeled as a political factional struggle.
However, the crusade against LOGOS must be accelerated.
But in this case, the ambush on Lux would have to be delayed.
He doesn't like to gamble on ethereal things like luck and probability.
In the face of the situation, he must ensure that he will kill with one blow.
Noel Cassia is Lux's sharp sword. When Noel Cassia's death cannot be confirmed.
The best way is to completely kill Lux, the queen, in Mendel.
"I hope you are really dead——"
About ten minutes later.
[Now when I should be actively preparing for war, I have no choice but to announce a piece of sad news——] In Durandal’s speech.
News of Noel Cassia's death spread around the world through live press conferences.
Under Durandal's impassioned speech.
Noel Cassia's death was blamed on LOGOS.
At the same time, it also proved Noel Cassia's innocence. He was wrongly accused and was still the ZAFT hero he once was.
The crowd was excited for a while.
The fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Sara faction reached its peak.
The heroes on the battlefield did not die on the battlefield, but died in dirty sneak attacks.
Even the corpses couldn't be pieced together neatly because of the high explosives.
This unacceptable fact stimulates every ZAFT soldier.
"Oh, this is really happy news."
In contrast, in the Paradise Island base, Jibril and others looked extremely happy sitting in the luxurious conference room.
"Are you going to admit this just like this?"
One of the LOGOS members who fled here asked.
"Do you think it's useful for us to deny it? What else can we do besides letting us create an image of someone who dares to do something but not to act inappropriately?"
Jibril asked rhetorically.
It's true that they didn't do this, but so what?
Will anyone believe you if you tell me? Would anyone who wears the same pants as ZAFT believe it?
In other words, people who are qualified to doubt will not believe it, and people who can believe it are not qualified to doubt it.
The two sides are already sworn enemies, and the other party holds great righteousness. In this case, one's own denial is meaningless, and will instead allow the other party to use the situation as an excuse.
Instead of engaging in this meaningless war of words with Durandal, let him continue to belittle LOGOS with righteousness to boost ZAFT's morale.
It is better to remain silent and let the death of Noel Cassia boost the morale of our own soldiers.
After all, the Red Death still has a certain degree of intimidation.
"In this world, the winner gains everything, and the loser loses everything. People will buy into whatever you say when you win. If you fail, the truth can turn into meaningless bullshit."
"But this matter is indeed interesting——"
Jibril expressed disdain for Durandal's behavior of throwing dirty water.
How can the general trend be changed and influenced by such a small fight?
What we are fighting for now is hard power.
But that being said, he was also very interested in who did it.
After all, he still likes the civil strife in ZAFT's politics.
But this matter can only be discussed later. After defeating the coalition forces in front of them, this may not be a breakthrough in dealing with ZAFT.
