Machine Lion Roar

The battle is over.

Whether it was the Archangel or the Montgomery, everyone on the Montgomery was involuntarily relieved, for fear that the air that was able to breathe at this moment would leave them again.

"Captain Ramias. There are only two Mobius from the Montgomery. We were hit hard."

Copman's complexion is not very good.

Although his Montgomery survived and did not follow in the footsteps of the Law and Bernard, the Mobius carrier aircraft it carried has exhausted the last trace of power.Even though there are still two scarred Mobius in the Montgomery Gnaku, the pilots who can drive it have reached the limit.

Maru nodded silently.

"However, thanks to our hero, if it weren't for the activity of Strike Gundam and its pilot Lei Mingkai, we might have been killed."

A large number of Genes, as well as the pressure of a new type of machine developed by Zaft, which was captured by Zaft, will still feel tremendous pressure even if the Eighth Fleet arrives.

The survival was indeed thanks to the active activities of Lei Mingkai and Assault Gundam.

"Yes! This is our luck."

Maru nodded, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Copman's proactive stance was undoubtedly taking what the man, Cruze had said just now, as the wind in his ears and letting him go with the wind.

"Yeah! This is our luck! I will report all this to the Admiral after I merge with the main force of the Eighth Fleet. Captain Ramias. Then, the next journey, please!"

"Yes! I will arrange it properly! Colonel Copman."

After the fierce battle, the Montgomery that lost its combat power was indeed only handed over to the Archangel and Strike Gundam to protect it.

Otherwise, the choice presented to Colonel Copman was to wait for the fate of being sunk by the Zaft fleet behind him.

In the battlefield full of wreckage, the scarred Montgomery exhausted its strength, followed closely behind the Archangel, and drove towards the coordinates where it merged with the Eighth Fleet.

At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the end of the battle, a surviving damage control team member wearing a space suit took emergency measures to deal with the more important injuries on the Montgomery.

As their hands rose and fell, the flashes of welding tools lit up like stars on the Montgomery's body, and at the same time, these star-like flashing points also fell into a floating view of the Archangel. In the eyes of the girl in the viewing platform.

"Why are you here? Audrey."

When Lei Mingkai, with a trace of fatigue on his face, passed the observation deck, he found that Lux was floating in the observation deck, looking at the Montgomery ship behind.

"The battle is over."

Lacus turned her head, raised her hand and gently pushed it on the ceiling, and she slowly fell to the ground, standing in front of Lei Mingkai.

"Just now, I saw that battle. The red body gave me a familiar feeling."

When Lacus said this, there was no blame or complaint in her eyes, and some were just calm.

"That is Aslan's body."

Lei Mingkai looked around and whispered the fact.

"Aslan?! Aslan Sara?"

Lacus exclaimed halfway through, but abruptly suppressed her own voice, not to mention reaching out and patted Pink Harrow in her hand.

In Harrow's program, whenever you hear a specific person's name, or a specific face, the corresponding name will be called out.

Lei Mingkai nodded and tapped his feet lightly, and the whole person drifted past Lacus. He turned around to face Lacus when Lei Mingkai reached out and caught the railing in front of the window.

"Actually, Aslan is not the only one, the other three Gundam pilots may also be people you know."

"who is it?"

A little under Lacus's feet, she floated to Lei Mingkai's side and asked softly.

Lei Mingkai couldn't see anything in Lux's eyes.

"Itzhak, Diego, and Nigor."

As soon as Lei Mingkai reported the name, Lux's hands clenched tightly.

Yes.

These are all names she is familiar with.

These are all the descendants of the Supreme Critics Councilor, and they are also friends of Lacus since childhood.

Especially Nigor, the boy who gently played the piano turned out to be a soldier driving and fighting on the battlefield.

"War is a melting pot that can melt everything. As long as you fall into it, no matter how you struggle, the result will be the same."

At this moment, Lei Mingkai who sensed Lux's mood swings sighed softly.

"···"

Lux was silent.

Now that she had been seized of her identity, she seemed to have lost Klein's natural eloquence and became an ordinary girl. Facing the immediate predicament, she was at a loss.

"Don't worry! Everything will be answered in Scandinavia. Isn't it?"

Hearing this, Lacus nodded silently.

"Hmm! I believe it will. It's just..."

Lei Mingkai understands Lacus’ concerns.

However, there is no alternative.

As long as the fleet following the Archangel is still under the leadership of Kruze, there will be battles.

However, there should be some time before the next battle begins.

Just when it joined the Eighth Fleet.

The next voyage was calm.

The heavy damage caused by the previous battle was not only the Archangel and Montgomery, but also the heavy damage to the Cruze side.

Gene lost a great part, and Storm Gundam was cut into two after the duel Gundam. Although the pilot was fine, it was undoubtedly a great shame for them.

Although Thunder Gundam is fine, it has become small and transparent in front of the Divine Shield Gundam that has captured two frigates.

"All cheer up! If you are so depressed, should I be the first to commit suicide?"

Kluzer stood in front of the teenagers and said with a self-deprecating smile.

"The strength of the enemy is what we expected from the beginning! Because of this, the stronger the enemy is, it proves that our decision to stand here is correct! The strong, ruthless, and cold-blooded enemy of the Scarlet Valentine's Day event , That’s why we boarded! So, this failure is nothing!"

"As expected! Captain Cruzer."

Outside the room, the girl in red looked at Cruze and shook her head slightly.

Her behavior made Aslan very puzzled.

Judging from the girl's words and deeds, she seemed to be very familiar with Cruze.

"What? What's on my face?"

The girl in red immediately felt Aslan's sight.

"No. It's just..."

Aslan was startled, and turned his face quickly, not looking at the girl's eyes in red.

"just?"

The red-clothed girl raised her brows and showed a teasing smile.

"just···"

Aslan moved the corners of his mouth and said quickly.

"Just think you are familiar with Captain Cruze."

"This is it?!"

The girl in red raised her eyebrows and said unexpectedly.

Strangely, Aslan heard a hint of disappointment in her tone.

"I've met Captain Cruz a few times before. It's not familiar. Besides, you're still a fool as always! Aslan.

The red-clothed girl sighed, then raised her hand to stop Aslan's move to speak.

"Fortunately, I waited for you for so long. In the end, I still have to let myself take the initiative. Alas, I am really disappointed! Aslan. Remember! My name is Erice, Erice Pompeii!"

"Alique?!"

The moment the name sounded, Aslan's mind rang, and the whole person was stunned.

After he woke up, he realized that a small note was pasted on the wall next to him.

"I have watched the previous battle video. Now there are some ideas, just to adjust your Divine Shield Gundam. Please look forward to it! Alice can stay."

"···"

Aslan looked at the note in silence.

There was chaos in my mind.

The powerlessness that seemed to be familiar, but unable to find any key points that could solve the mystery was heavily pressed on Aslan's heart.

"who are you?"

Time passed quietly in the tense mood.

After a tense voyage, the worst situation did not happen, but the best situation is already here.

As the Archangel and Montgomery drove all the way, they finally came to the coordinate of the eighth fleet.

Moreover, judging from the converging signal from afar, the Eighth Fleet has been waiting there for a long time.

"Confirm the signal for the rendezvous of the Eighth Fleet! Now, the Archangel will follow the original plan to complete the rendezvous with the Eighth Fleet. Everyone, thank you!"

Seeing the flickering light signal in the distance, Maru's heart that had been hanging up was finally slowly letting go.

"Captain. Congratulations!"

Bucky Lulu was also relieved.

This way, no matter who encountered it, it would be uncomfortable, and it might even be impossible for the colonial satellite to leave.

Among the Gnaku, after assisting the maintenance team to complete the zero-style maintenance of Mobius, Mu also approached Lei Mingkai.

"Warrant Officer. We are about to join the Eighth Fleet."

Lei Mingkai, who was adjusting the program of Strike Gundam, smiled slightly.

"Major. Do you still call me a warrant officer? That's just a temporary expedient."

Lei Mingkai's warrant officer title is just an expedient plan jointly made by Maru and Bucky Lulu.

After rendezvous with the Eighth Fleet, this so-called warrant officer will also become invalid.

not to mention···

"What are you talking about? Warrant officer. Everyone sees your ability! What's more, the current situation of the war needs talent like you! How to say? How about staying on this ship?"

Lei Mingkai's powerful strength has already impressed Mu.

If given the opportunity, Mu wants to choose to fight with Lei Mingkai.

After all, as a teammate with a strong pilot, this is more reassuring than anything else.

"Let's talk about it later!"

Lei Mingkai pushed his keyboard back to its original position and got up and left the cockpit of Assault Gundam.

Looking at Lei Mingkai's back, Mu was a little baffled for a while.

"What about the kid?"

The arrival of the Eighth Fleet undoubtedly brought a strong sense of security.

With a single-ship attitude, the Archangel, who was hunted down by the Zaft fleet all the way, was finally able to rest for a while under the protection of its own fleet.

As the commander of the Eighth Fleet, Admiral Halbaton will personally board this new type of warship created by the plan he personally led.

The news of the arrival of the man who advocated the development of the new Archangel and Project G, and was known as the "Wisdom Button", will naturally be heard by Lei Mingkai.

"Audrey. Your thoughts."

Right now, there may be a bold and risky approach.

That is to gamble on whether the so-called wise general is really as rumors-like, sensible and calm, and wants to end the possibility of this increasingly sinking war as soon as possible.

But looking at Lux's appearance, she didn't seem to want to try.

"Then I will go back!"

"Well, I am waiting for you."

Lacus looked at the back of Lei Mingkai, who had put on the uniform of the Earth Union Army, turned around and returned to the room.

Lux didn't dare to bet, nor did Lei Mingkai.

Lei Mingkai was able to recite all the information about Halbaton.

But the specific image is only the performance during the time between the rendezvous with the Archangel and the sinking of the fleet led by Cruze, and Maru's description of it.

As the shuttle slid into the Gnaku of the Archangel, Maru who had been waiting for a long time led people to greet him.

The reunion between teachers and students is naturally touching.

After repeatedly confirming that his students were not in serious trouble, Halbarton turned the topic to what he cared most.

"This ship seems to have been tempered by the flames of war. But, what about the fuselage?"

When the expected question appeared, Maru hesitated.

Because, before Halbottom came, Bucky Lulu had some disputes with her on this issue.

Everyone in the United Earth Army on the Archangel knows that the strength of Strike Gundam is not only based on its own potential, but also on Lei Mingkai's superb driving skills.

As long as the two are combined, the Archangel and Assault Gundam are still the latest sharp weapons that Halbaton expects!

But Maru made it very clear that he would not force Lei Mingkai to join the Earth Alliance.

Because, at the beginning, Lei Mingkai made it clear that he wanted to protect his sister "Audrey", and in the following days, Maru learned that the two seemed to be going to some place in Northern Europe. When the country became neutral, Maru had already made a decision.

"Admiral. Please here! Assault Gundam has been prepared. It can be handed over to the Eighth Fleet at any time."

Maru deliberately changed the subject, making Halbadon look at him.

However, the crowd standing behind the officer Archangel was too eye-catching.

"they are?"

Maru felt an agitated spirit, but he had to respond.

"Yes! They are the Heliopolis students who helped on the Archangel."

Although Halbaton looked a little old, his actions were unexpectedly flexible. Only a little bit below his feet, in a state of microgravity, he came to the teenagers and came to Lei Mingkai.

"Are you the pilot who attacked Gundam? In the process of coming here from Heliopolis, you killed no less than ten Genn pilots?"

Halbarton's wise eyes met Lei Mingkai's eyes.

"Yes. This is Kay Britannia."
