"Miss Lux."
Lux appeared next to Andrew and smiled with Hilda and others.
"In the near future, you and those machines will definitely become an indispensable fighting force. Miss Hilda, Mr. Mars, and Mr. Herbert, please be patient."
"But--"
Mars muttered.
With his rough style, he didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Lacus.
Not only him, but also combat pilots with unique personalities such as Hilda, now only declare their loyalty to this dreamy young officer and obey her orders.
At this time, they feel that they can't do their best, so they are particularly angry.
But Lux on the screen smiled gracefully, and said softly as if to comfort their anxiety: "We will be fine."
Andrew also patted his chest and assured: "We are Scuds. Even if one or two Nazca-class ships come, we can still get rid of it. Even if it is chased, I will still be here. Do you doubt the ability of the Desert Tiger?" ?”
"This is not a desert!"
Hilda replied without thinking.
"Then I'll call him Space Tiger instead."
Andrew laughed boldly and hung up the communication.
Mas held his head weakly: "That's not the problem..."
At this time, an announcement sounded in the hangar.
[After the Eternity departs, the factory will enter silent mode! 】
"damn it!"
With no choice, Hilda and others had no choice but to walk back to their respective phones.
At the same time, on the monitoring screen.
The stones that covered the hull of the Eternal for camouflage gradually scattered in all directions.
The light red battleship that emerged from it also ignited its jet engine at this moment and drove towards the outside of the gravel belt with maximum power.
After a while, it disappeared into the distance.
Hilda looked at the departing boat, feeling anxious and angry, but there was nothing she could do.
"We have to make adjustments as soon as possible!"
Hilda looked up at the three MSs side by side, her eyes a little anxious.
These MSs with black bodies and purple limbs have large propellers surrounding their prominent shoulders, skirt-like waists and ankles, giving them a unique rounded appearance.
This was originally a new model that Zaft had stopped developing. Later, the factory obtained the design drawings and assembled it by itself.
The pillar of heaven.
"Lord Mina, there is an encrypted message coming from the emergency channel!"
Just as Mina Sahak was about to enter the room, she was interrupted by a voice from behind.
After hearing this, Mina Sahak glanced at the hospital bed in the room, then turned to look at the visitor: "What happened?"
"I just received news from the terminal that the Eternal has launched an early attack when encountering danger. If possible, I hope we can respond to the package ejected from the Eternal." The soldier reported the news he had just received.
"Do you know the specific route?"
Mina Sahak frowned subconsciously when he heard this.
"No route information was given, but they will launch the package at β coordinates." The soldier hurriedly replied.
"The Izumo is ready to attack immediately! Let Adino and Aditya accompany us to attack!"
After Mina Sahak finished speaking, he turned around, glanced at the room, and walked straight in the direction of the Izumo battleship.
The development of the earth's situation has moved in the direction she least wants to see.
The two fools of the Seran family pushed Orb into the abyss.
Whether it's for the so-called future or for the people of Orb.
Lux's existence is undoubtedly extremely important, and she must not have any accidents.
In the room, on a modified hospital bed, Noel's originally closed eyes slowly opened at this moment.
Deep in the universe.
The existence of the Eternal was learned by ZAFT.
Two Nazca-class battleships arrived first.
In the forward command headquarters, Lina Serra Miron and Courtney Hieronymus, who had just returned to prepare to go to the PLANT Integrated Design Bureau, also received combat orders.
The Ever Given is heading toward its landing orbit at full speed. The pursuing Nazca-class battleships had already appeared behind, but they could not catch up with the speed of the Eternal. However, the opponent's mobile suits were dispatched one after another, accelerating towards them. The back cabin of a "Zaku" opened and fired the first wave of missiles.
"The missiles are coming!"
Feeling the chill on his spine, Dacosta reported loudly.
Andrew immediately gave instructions.
"Automatic attack begins! Right rudder 10, down rudder 20!"
The Eternal's interception system was activated, and the barrage quickly swept down this wave of missiles.
The shock wave of the missile explosion shook the ship.
The bombardment-shaped Zaku carried the long barrel on his waist and fired out beams one after another. The Eternity dodged left and right, but was still narrowly missed by several shots.
As a support battleship, the Eternal's combat capabilities are not strong.
"Don't let the MS climb up! Counterattack in the air!"
More than a dozen Zaku and Fire Tigers dispatched from the Nazca class attacked one after another with missiles and beams.
Although the Eternal's interception system and anti-air missiles could barely prevent their approach, it would inevitably slow down its sailing speed.
The distance to the Nazca-class battleships behind them gradually shortened.
[Main gun locked! 】
"Avoid! Turn left rudder 10!"
The Nazca class soon launched naval gun fire.
The helmsman of the Eternal had no choice but to use all his strength to make the mothership avoid this wave of fire in a tail spin.
However, waves of more intense artillery fire continued to come.
The swaying hull of the ship made Dacosta feel as if he had stepped on a coffin.
The earth, which is as blue and bright as glass, is clearly right in front of us, but it always gives people a sense of being far away and beyond reach.
Finally, Andrew stood up and left the table.
"This can't go on like this! I have to take action!"
"team leader!"
Dacosta stopped him reflexively.
Facing so many mobile suits, even the Desert Tiger would have a hard time blocking them all. Maybe he would become a dead tiger today.
But Andrew pointed his big hand and shouted sternly at Dacosta: "I'm going to catch those flies, but you keep some distance from me! Listen, Dacosta, don't let them hit the engine!"
"--yes!"
Just after Dacosta finished responding, he saw Andrew disappearing behind the elevator door.
The commander may not be able to win, but what can he do if he can't stop him?
Their mission is to escort out the treasures in the Eternal's arms.
For this mission, Andrew did not hesitate to be a pawn.
So did Da Costa and others.
Andrew's new plane, Gaia, soon left the ship.
As the voltage of the VPS armor changed, the body changed into a fiery red color, cutting through the darkness of the void, and rushed towards Zaku who was trying to approach the bridge.
In the swaying ship, Lux asked in a calm tone: "How far is it from the launch site of the landing module?"
Upon hearing this, Dacosta hurriedly looked at the dashboard at hand.
"There are 20 more—no, 25!"
"Excuse me, everyone, please hold on until there!"
Listening to her pleading request, Dacosta and everyone nodded firmly: "Yes!"
