Machine Lion Roar

Chapter 537: The Arrival of the Advance Squadron

In the boundless space, five Nazca-class high-speed battleships gathered on a remote route, but not far from the current location of the Archangel.

At the same time, behind the five Nazca-class high-speed warships, there are two transport ships that complement the three of the lost Jean's Nazca-class high-speed warships.

"Captain Cruzer! The supply operations have been completed 75%. According to the current progress calculation, all supply operations will be completed in 1 hour."

CIC's report made Kluzer nodded in satisfaction.

The defeat in the previous battle did not infuriate Patrick Sala, who currently controls nearly half of the council. Instead, he just passed the fermented influence of the Silverwind attack and overwhelmed the close friend and opponent Higel Klein. The chairman of the National Defense Commissioner approved a supplementary plan for the newly-wounded Cruze fleet.

of course.

Such a quick approval represents an answer.

"Do you want me to get rid of the long legs as quickly as possible? Chairman, you really look up to me!"

Kluzer sat in the chair, rubbing his chin carefully, and an arc was drawn in the corner of his mouth.

Duel Gundam suffered heavy losses and has lost the ability to participate in the next battle.

And Aslan suffered some injuries in the fierce battle. Although not serious, it did affect Aslan's performance.Under such circumstances, if you want to kill the Archangel with Assault Gundam, Cruze might have to make another plan.

"That machine is Mu. Is that man's son driving?"

From the combat records of the four Gundams, Kluzer saw that the assault Gundam that seemed to be reborn and burst out with powerful combat power.

However, Kruze was not sure that Mu was driving the Assault Gundam the breath he felt from the Assault Gundam.

After pondering for a moment, Kruze smiled coldly.

"Forget it! At that time, it seems that you have to go out in person! Otherwise, it is impossible to figure out who is driving that machine."

On the other side, Yitzhak, Diego, and even Nigor stared blankly at Aslan, who was wearing a bandage, and the girl who was communicating with him how to prepare the Divine Shield.

A girl with a pretty face in red.

"Hey! Have you heard of such a red one among Zaft?"

Yitzhak quietly stabbed Diego, who was standing next to him, with his elbow.

Diego shook his head in a daze, and then looked at Nigor.

Nigor raised his hands and shook them again and again, indicating that he did not know.

"What the hell is this...? Aslan, who obviously has a fiancee, is still so close to other strange women?!!!"

Yitzhak's eyebrows throbbed wildly, and there was a anger in his heart.

Fortunately, Diego, who was quick-eyed, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yitzhak, pulling him away somehow. Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Nigor a look of "you know, don't look down on it".

It made Nigor hesitate for a while.

As a friend of Aslan, he naturally knows the marriage contract between Aslan and Lux.

But when he saw that the communication between Aslan and the girl in red seemed familiar, Nigor didn't know how to speak.

Swaying from side to side, Nigor finally sighed secretly, turned back to the cockpit of his Thunder Gundam, and silently debugged the OS program.

The red-clothed girl naturally noticed the movement here.

However, she didn't say anything bad, but naturally pulled Aslan to talk about how to adjust the Divine Shield Gundam.

"Yeah. You mean the pilot of Strike Gundam was good at melee combat?"

The dexterous hands moved quickly on the keyboard, and the sound of their tapping on the keyboard was like a clear and beautiful music, which made Aslan sitting in the cockpit a little surprised.

"um, yes."

Aslan shook her head slightly, sobered herself up, and said while recalling the battle at the beginning.

"The pilot of that aircraft is very good at using high speed to fight, and the fighting skills are unexpectedly strong. He can always launch attacks in places that people can't imagine.

"Really? For that, do you want this kid to fly faster?"

The girl in red stopped flying her hands on the keyboard, and her flickering eyes looked towards Aslan who was working with her to debug the system.

Aslan didn't doubt he was there and nodded.

"Yes. Assault Gundam seems to have different performances according to the type of backpack. But Aegis Gundam is a body developed for the purpose of high-speed combat, so there is no reason that Aegis Gundam will be slower than Assault Gundam. "

The corners of the red-clothed girl's mouth were slightly raised, and she said crisply:

"Really? In that case, I understand. So, it's all right now."

When the voice fell, the red girl's finger had already pressed the confirmation button.

The next second, the screen in front of Aslan suddenly went black and lost any response.

"you···"

Aslan just wanted to speak, but was surprised by the screen that immediately re-lit.

Because, according to the start-up time of the previous OS system, it is still at the stage of reading the system.

But right now, the OS system is already fully booted and is in a standby state.

"Very pleasantly surprised, right?"

The girl in red smiled mysteriously, and then began to pack her notebook and tools. Then, she looked at Aslan who hadn't reacted, and blinked mischievously.

"Really idiot as always! However, this is a special service that only you have, Aslan."

It wasn't until the red-clothed girl left that Aslan reacted afterwards.

"Special service?!"

Looking at the system in the standby state, Aslan subconsciously began a new round of debugging. As a result, there was a sound that made Nigor stick out of the Thunderbolt’s cockpit and looked at the Aegis. .

"Aslan, what happened?"

"No. Nothing. Just ran into some problems."

After Aslan prevarication casually, a wry smile appeared.

"Start-up speed has been increased by two-thirds, and program response time has been shortened by three-quarters. This..."

Aslan was surprised, but found that he didn't seem to have asked the name of the girl in red who came with the supply ship.

However, in the exchanges just now, the indescribable sense of familiarity still haunts Aslan's heart.

"Who is she?"

Aslan's doubts did not last long before he was interrupted.

Because a new battle is about to begin.

At the other end of the boundless space, the advance squadron of the Eighth Fleet, which had been in contact with the Archangel, finally came to the front of the Archangel.

The flagship of the Eighth Fleet Advance Squadron, the Nelson-class battleship Montgomery, and the accompanying two Drake-class frigates, the Bernard, completed the task of converging with the Archangel.

The commander of this squadron is Colonel Copman of the Atlantic Federation.

Whether it was from the order or from the military rank, his arrival was undoubtedly a long sigh of relief for Maru, the captain who drove the ducks to the shelves.

"A Nelson-class battleship, two Drake-class frigates? From the past, this may be able to complete the task of escorting the Archangel and the main fleet. But..."

Standing in the observation deck, Lei Mingkai's eyes always fell on the Nelson-class battleship.

He knew that Frey's father, George Alstad, the deputy foreign affairs officer of the Atlantic Federation, existed on this battleship.

His existence may be a great help for Lei Mingkai and Lux.

However, before getting this help, he had to go through a fierce battle.

"Zaft's chaser?"

What exactly Lei Mingkai was thinking about, Mu didn't know.

But he knew that Lei Mingkai now had the same worries as him to some extent.

"That fleet is probably the fleet led by Lau Lu Cruz. The man will not be absent for the next battle."

Mu's complexion became solemn.

Since meeting Kluzer, Mu has always had a hunch.

No matter how he runs, Cruzer will definitely be waiting for him in front, waiting to fight him to the death.

"Lau Lu Cruz?"

Originally, Lei Mingkai had the opportunity to meet with this extremely popular team.

But unfortunately, whether it was in the Time and Space Administration of the City of Stars, or in this SEED world, he has never been able to meet Kruze.

"Probably, in the upcoming battle, I, we will fight this legendary man. Major Mu, do you think the advance squadron..."

Mu was taken aback, then spread his hands, shook his head, and sighed:

"Forgive me! If that man really goes out in person, protecting the Archangel will be enough."

As he said, Mu's eyes became very solemn.

"The enemy this time is far more terrible than the previous ones."

"Yes! Even more terrible!"

Under the gaze of Lei Mingkai and Mu, a shuttle boat slid out of the Montgomery and flew to the Archangel quietly.

The change in the world may be accidental.

Lacus, who had been mingling with the children on the Archangel, unexpectedly looked at the man who strode into the dining hall under the protection of the two armed soldiers.

"Frei! Frei! Frei! My daughter! Where are you?!"

"Frei?"

Lacus pondered for a while, a face with a savage and defiant face appeared in her mind involuntarily.

In private, Lei Mingkai once used the evaluation of "spoiled princess" to describe Frey.

It seems that Lei Mingkai's evaluation is indeed correct.

After taking a look at the children who were terrified by the two soldiers with live ammunition, Lacus patted them on the back, soothing them, while raising her head to look at the man and said:

"Mr. If you were looking for Miss Frey, she would have returned to her room ten minutes ago."

"Yes, is it? Thank you!"

Upon hearing Lux's words, the man who rushed into the dining hall excitedly turned around and rushed out, not knowing where he was going.

"Okay! Alright! They're gone! Don't be afraid! It's all right."

However, a trace of sadness flashed under her eyes while comforting the child.

Although the man was a bit reckless, his love for Frey was real, so real that anyone could feel his love for Frey.

This also reminded Lux ​​of her father.

"Audrey, what about you? What about the children?"

Lei Mingkai's voice sounded when Lux was feeling sad about being separated from her father.

"Kay?!"

Lux was startled, and then secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Unexpectedly, the children told Lei Mingkai what had happened just now.

"The man looking for Frey? Really? That's Frey's father. He's just too worried about Frey. Okay! Children, go back and find mom!"

Lei Mingkai knew what happened, and after coaxing the children away, he stretched out his hand towards Lux.

"Audrey, it's time to prepare!"

"Again, is it going to fight again?"

The water mark on the corner of Lacus's eye is still clear, but she has restored the Lacus Klein that Lei Mingkai is familiar with.

"Yes! So that we can reach Scandinavia smoothly."

Before the reunion of George and his daughter began, they were interrupted by a harsh alarm.

"Dad! Zaft is calling again!"

During this time, the delicate Frey was almost frightened by the battle with Zaft.

"Don't worry! The Eighth Fleet will protect us!"

George comforted his daughter, then looked at the soldiers following him.

"You leave one to protect Frey, and the other takes me to the bridge!"

Knowing what he should do at this moment, George placed Frey in the room, then turned to the bridge.

But before he was halfway there, he ran into Lei Mingkai who was heading to Gnaku.

"wait!"

On the Archangel, which is short of personnel, there are even fewer personnel wearing pilot uniforms.As soon as he saw Lei Mingkai's pilot uniform, George immediately realized that the young man in front of him was the pilot who was driving the Assault Gundam.

"Are you the pilot of that new aircraft?"

Lei Mingkai stopped and saluted:

"Yes. I'm Kay Britannia. I am a pilot who volunteered to become Strike Gundam."

"Well, I've heard Captain Maru's evaluation of you. I beg you for the next battle!"

"give it to me!"

Seeing George heading to the bridge from the back, Lei Mingkai's mouth slightly cocked.

"Destiny is always incomprehensible. I thought that while protecting the Archangel, while dividing part of the attention to protect the Montgomery, I found that the object I wanted to protect had already ran on the Archangel."

"Is there nowhere to find if you step through the iron shoes? Kay, that's what your native dialect says, right?"

The zero voice sounded in Lei Mingkai's mind.

Obviously, it also knows Lei Mingkai's plan.

As long as George, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs of the Atlantic, is rescued, then Lei Mingkai and Lacus' journey to the earth will be much easier.

"Of course! Now, we just have to win this battle!"
