A lonely and silent universe.
A pink support ship docked quietly under the cover of gravel.
Lux sat in front of the computer in the bridge, tapping her hands constantly. She had to get ready as soon as possible.
Based on the latest information obtained.
ZAFT's coalition forces against Logos have given Logos an ultimatum.
According to the concepts of both sides, there must be a battle between them, and once ZAFT wins, Orb will be attacked next.
The theory of friend or foe has emerged and been implemented.
In this crusade, Orb was the only force that refused to participate in the attack on logos.
In addition, the Seran family has always publicly expressed its support for logos. Under such circumstances, it is only a matter of time before Orb is purged.
With Durandal having such great momentum, Orb may be his last chance.
"Didi——"
At this moment, an encrypted video came through.
Lux reached out and clicked it, but the figure that appeared on the screen made Lux slightly stunned.
"From the look of you, you probably haven't received the news yet."
Mina Sahak's face appeared on the screen, but her expression was slightly solemn at this time.
"Did something happen between ZAFT and Logos?"
Lux stopped what she was doing when she heard this.
"Last night at 23:17, ZAFT's Gibraltar base was attacked by unknown troops who sneaked into the base, resulting in 27 deaths and 36 serious injuries, including——"
Mina Sahak picked up the report and spoke quietly about what happened last night.
Having said this, Mina Sahak stared at Lux on the screen, as if he was preparing for her or waiting for something.
Lux looked at Mina Sahak's appearance and began to feel nervous for no reason.
"ZAFT Aith member, red elite—Noel Cassia."
"This is ZAFT's external report, right?"
The blue-purple-eyed child of Lux stared at Mina Sahak's face through the screen, her tone unknowingly filled with a hint of pleading.
"You already guessed it, didn't you?"
Mina Sahak put down the report, her expression looking particularly calm at this time.
Lux fell into silence after hearing this, just looking at Mina Sahak, trying to read something from her face.
"My plan was to start taking action after ZAFT's large forces attacked Paradise Island. To this end, I deployed more than 80 trustworthy soldiers from various fleets to infiltrate the Gibraltar base."
When Mina Sahak first received this information, his first reaction was that Lux had taken action.
Although a bit risky, I have to say that this is a very good solution.
He faked his death to escape and threw the blame to Logos. As long as he succeeded, he would not only clear Noel's original charges, but also escape from ZAFT with his original reputation.
Although he was doubtful about Lux's sudden action, he immediately ordered the soldiers to cooperate with the other party in the raid.
But when she received the report today, she realized that she had guessed wrong.
The people who attacked ZAFT's base last night were not from Lux, nor from Orb, nor even from within ZAFT.
It was a completely unknown force.
Lux was speechless for a long time after hearing this.
Just sitting in front of the computer blankly.
"According to the retelling of the subordinates who participated in the battle, Noel Kasia was indeed taken out of the villa by the opponent. However, during the evacuation, Noel Kasia was shot and his body was taken away by the opponent. Our soldiers also followed and tried to We brought Noel Cassia back, but the other party’s attitude was extremely determined, and the situation was too chaotic at that time, so Noel’s body was not brought back.”
Mina Sahak informed Lux of his subordinate's report in one breath.
Mina Sahak did not wait for Lux to answer, and continued to speak out her guess: "Judging from their retelling, the ultimate target of this raid should also be Noel, and Noel should be acquainted with the opponent and is just retreating. Something unexpected happened.”
"Noel was hit by stray bullets and fell down several times during the evacuation. He was able to leave the port only with the help of the other party."
Lux's body stiffened subconsciously when she heard that she was shot several times, but she still opened her mouth and asked in a calm tone: "Can you guess who the other party is?"
Mina Sahak noticed something strange about Lux, but did not reveal it. Hearing this, he quietly expressed his guess: "There are not many soldiers with such strength who are not afraid of ZAFT."
"At least in this current situation, no one except Logos is willing to offend ZAFT, plus the condition of being 'willing to take such risks to rescue Noel'——"
Meena Sahak did not continue.
With the current level of security at the Gibraltar base, it is not difficult to send spies into the base. Except for a limited number of confidential areas, the outer parts are almost casual.
It's not that ZAFT isn't vigilant, it's because no one would offend ZAFT at this time.
After all, ZAFT now represents 'human justice' in a sense.
Except for logos, no one wants to be labeled as evil by ZAFT.
So she really couldn't guess who the force that took action last night was.
Hills Satie, Matisse, Jibril, Lux, members of ZAFT's old Sara faction, Frey Alstar also has a few die-hard loyalists, Cagalli also has some die-hard loyalists, and He has his own heavenly pillar.
The above forces barely have this kind of strength, but their motivations——
It was impossible for Hills Satie to cause trouble at this point in time.
There has been no news from Mattis since the Thirteenth Jungle War, and it is impossible for him to show up at this time to stir up trouble.
It is possible for Jibril, but it is impossible for him to save Noel. If you say that he went to kill Normina Sahak, you still believe it.
Lux is eliminated, the Heavenly Pillar is eliminated——
The remaining few crooked melons and cracked dates...
"Is this so..."
Hearing this, Lux lowered her head and thought hard.
But she couldn't calm down her heart.
"I have sent people out to gather information. If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible."
Mina Sahak also felt a little uncomfortable inside at this time.
"Thanks."
Hearing this, Lux raised her head and nodded calmly.
"Believe him."
Mina Sahak looked at Lux's calm face and said complicatedly.
Besides that, she couldn't think of any words.
"I will."
Lux smiled and nodded.
Mina Sahak saw this and said nothing more. She just quietly reached out and closed the communication.
Outside the door, I saw that Mina Sahak had stopped communicating.
Lars, who was carrying the food, walked in carefully and placed the food on the table.
"You did it?"
Mina Sahak stopped organizing the documents and looked at Lars.
"Yeah, yeah, give it a try."
Lars nodded quickly.
"Thank you, but no need for now, I don't have much appetite at the moment."
Mina Sahak smiled, continued to lower his head and started flipping through the documents.
These are the latest intelligence compiled from various sources this morning.
"But you-"
"Go out and don't bother me for now."
Meena Sahak interrupted Lars directly.
"oh."
Lars wanted to say something else, but looking at Mina's smiling face, Lars had to turn around and leave the office with the dinner plate.
The door is closed.
Meena Sahak continued to look down at the documents, trying to find something out of them.
She didn't believe that Noel would die like this, never!
There is no way such a tough person would die in that place, absolutely not!
Recalling the information from last night, Mina Sahak gradually became irritable.
She pulled Noel's collar and asked, "Why don't you come to me for this kind of thing? Do you think I'm not trustworthy?"
Or will I hurt you? ?
"Noel Cassia! You'd better be dead. If you are still alive, I will crush you with my own hands!"
The deep and empty universe.
Lux continued to tap rhythmically with her hands in front of the computer.
There isn't much time left for her.
After logos was destroyed, it was Orb's turn.
The expanding war will completely sweep the entire world until only one voice remains.
Therefore, in order to prevent things from getting irreversible, you must seize the time.
Countless lives are being lost and this must stop.
However, I don't know when the frequency of tapping on Lux's hand gradually became slower.
His eyes gradually shifted from the screen to the fingertips of his right hand, where a light embodying longing and agreement shone fluorescently in the hole.
'If you don't want me to go there, I don't have to go...'
'I trust you--'
'Because of you, I now have the meaning of fighting...'
'I hope to sleep forever in a world full of singing...'
Hallucinations rang in his ears, and his blue-purple eyes were gradually shrouded in mist.
The voice that should have warmed her heart was now like a sharp knife piercing her heart.
If I had let him go with me in the first place——
If I had stopped him in the first place——
if·····
Unfortunately there is no if.
He had obviously guessed that Durandal would take action against Noel, but because of his own selfishness, he was put in danger...
Holding the empty palm tightly with his right hand, his thoughts formed a messy net, and the net became tighter and tighter, reaching straight to his heart.
The pain of suffocation spread throughout her body, causing her to curl up subconsciously.
