Machine Lion Roar
Chapter 616: Halbaton Under House arrest
Ptolemy base on the moon.
As a lunar base built with the moon as a relay point, this earth union is busy all the time.
In the midst of this busy period, a female soldier who had changed into the rank of major was standing on the edge of the aisle, looking at the very familiar, but differently detailed new battleship ahead.
Conspicuous but lonely hanging outside, the left and right take-off runway that combines the dual functions of take-off and the positron electronic siege gun, independent but high erected bridge, and the same shape, but with black paint as the main appearance Body.
"If you change black to white, I'm afraid this battleship will be the Archangel, right?"
The female soldiers who watched this new black warship were not other people, but had bid farewell to Maru and the Archangel at an earlier time, and were ordered to come to the universe, to the Earth’s united lunar base in Ptolemy’s Ba Kirulu.
The first time she came here, Bucky Lulu was told that she was about to become the captain of the new battleship Lord Angel, which was based on the archangel as the prototype.
For this order, Bucky Lulu was not surprised.
However, after receiving this order, news of the fall of the Alaska base also reached Bucky Lulu.
As a result, Bucky Lulu, who was anxious, sad, and even anxious to know about Maru and others, could only stand here and watch the Lord Angel in her free time.
She knew that even if she ran to ask the person in charge of this base, she would not get any effective results.
Judging from official sources, the battle situation at the Asraji base has revealed a weirdness from beginning to end.
How can the Cyclops system, which is obviously used to develop deep-space mineral deposits, appear in the Alaska base, deep underground in the base where this Earth Union is the headquarters?
This question is not Bucky Lulu's doubt at the moment.
More doubts, but after the fall of the Alaska base, Bucky Lulu accidentally ran into a man "protected" by two soldiers.
And this man happened to be the man who had lost contact with the Archangel for a long time, and he pushed forward the G Plan, Halbaton of the Eighth Fleet Admiral.
At that time, Halbaton was much more casual than Bucky Lulu who looked surprised.
After he nodded slightly towards Bucky Lulu, he left surrounded by the two soldiers.
At this moment, Bucky Lulu, who was suddenly blessed to the soul, turned around abruptly and saluted Halbaton's back:
"Disrespect! The original Archangel belongs to Natal Bucky Lulu who has seen the Admiral! In addition, report to the Admiral! Because of the long loss of contact, there is important information on the Archangel that needs to be submitted to the Admiral in person! Please give instructions from the Admiral!"
Bucky Lulu's surprise attack not only stunned Halbaton, but also shocked the two soldiers who followed Halbaton.
After they looked at each other, a soldier stepped forward and stood in between Bucky Lulu and Halbaton.
"I'm very sorry! Major. Now Admiral Halbaton needs to go to the conference room for a meeting right away! If you have anything, please submit an application to the base command center!"
After that, the soldier turned and left, and "clustered" Halbaton with another soldier toward the depths of the aisle.
The glimpse that Halbaton gave Bucky Lulu before he left, made Bucky Lulu fully understand Halbaton and why the Eighth Fleet disappeared without a trace.
The doubt did not disappear when he met Halbaton by accident. Instead, it became thicker and thicker, so thick that Bucky Lulu, regardless of the possibility of angering the upper leadership of the base, really ran to the command center and truthfully submitted the need to and Ha Barton filed his application face to face.
What surprised Bucky Lulu was that the application was actually passed.
Today is the time to meet with Halberton.
After leaving the dock where the Lord Angel is located, he followed the directions all the way and passed through several forks that Bucky Lulu had not passed. When the soldiers who came to lead the way met, Bucky Lulu found the command center. The route map given is only one third of the journey to meet Halberton.
In the ensuing journey, the soldiers leading the way for Bucky Lulu changed as many as three times.
This weird phenomenon caused Bucky Lulu to frown.
According to her speculation, Halbaton was under house arrest.
Wouldn't it be that such cumbersome surveillance measures were used in such a large battle?
Standing behind the third soldier who came to lead the way, Bucky Lulu raised his eyes to the gate guarded by two soldiers.
As soon as they saw Bucky Lulu, the two soldiers exchanged their gazes with the soldier who led the way, then turned around and inserted their keys into the door lock, and counted down to 1 in unison. Twist the door lock to open the door to Halbaton's residence for Bucky Lulu.
Seeing this scene, Bucky Lulu's heart sank.
This base...
Do not,
It should be said that the Earth Union's wariness of Halbaton has reached a heinous level.
As an admiral commanding the Eighth Fleet, he actually ended up like this.
Being guarded by numerous checkpoints is more than just being locked in this way like a severely sentenced prisoner. As long as you lack a key, you can only be locked up in the room inside.
"Welcome! Natal Bucky Lulu. I'm afraid we haven't seen each other for a while. It's been good these days!"
What greeted Bucky Lulu, who had seen the many hurdles on the road, was Halbaton’s intimate greetings.
Bucky Lulu was puzzled by this, but he was relieved somehow.
The Admiral of the Eighth Fleet, Brigadier General Duane Halbaton, did not abandon himself because of being under house arrest.
"What's the matter? Could it be that, now that he has been resigned from the post of admiral of the fleet, and only the useless hat on his head, Halbarton can no longer let the newly appointed captain Natal Bakiruru sit down. Have you had a good chat with me?"
Seeing Bucky Lulu looked somewhat ecstatic, Halbarton smiled slightly and joked about his situation casually.
"No! Admiral, you joked!"
Bucky Lulu was startled, and said sternly.
"This is just a momentary trough! This war still needs people like Halbaton to sit down to usher in the dawn of the end!"
Halbaton waved his hand, the smile on his face seemed a bit bitter.
"Major Natal. What are you talking about? I'm just an old man sitting here, wasting my life."
"No, Admiral..."
Bucky Lulu looked anxious, but Halbaton stopped him before he could finish speaking.
"Okay! Today is just a reminder of the past! Major Natal. How is the situation on the Archangel side? I heard that the Archangel disappeared after the First World War at the Alaska base? What is going on?"
As a person under house arrest, Halbaton has very few channels for obtaining outside information.
The latest news he can know is that the Archangel disappeared after the First World War in Alaska.
"Admiral, don't you know?"
Bucky Lulu naturally knew the news about the Archangel, but Halbaton's situation surprised Bucky Lulu again.
"Yes! I am just a lazy slacker."
Halbaton laughed, but his gaze was fixed on Bucky Lulu's.
"is it?"
Bucky Lulu sighed slightly, and then said all the news she knew.
In her narration, Halba frowned, sometimes stretched out, sometimes asked Bucky Lulu for details, and sometimes asked Bucky Lulu to continue the story.
After a conversation, nearly an hour has passed.
"So that's the case. Did two mobile suits of unknown origin rescue the Archangel? One of them is very similar to the assault?"
Halbaton recalled the intelligence that Bucky Lulu had said, trying to connect it into one piece, trying to spell out the truth as much as possible.
"Yes. Judging from the photos circulating in the army, one of the light-winged fuselages should have been developed based on Strike Gundam. But we don’t know where it belongs."
In fact, when Bucky Lulu told Halbaton about the situation of the Assra battle, Halbaton also had a rough guess.
"Sure enough. The seeds are beginning to germinate!"
The Archangel’s intention to land successfully at the headquarters in Alaska has finally begun to bear the fruit Halbaton expected.
However, this fruit may not be picked by the union of the earth.
At least, the current Earth Union is not qualified to pick this fruit.
"That's it for today! Major Natal Bucky Lulu."
Bucky Lulu, who was still in the mood for something, didn't expect that Halbaton would actually make a "removal order" to let her leave.
"Admiral! Now the Lord Angel..."
Bucky Lulu subconsciously wanted to say something and tried to get Halbaton out of the mountain, but was interrupted by Halbaton again.
"Okay! Major. Now you are the captain of the Lord Angel! I'm just a semi-retired old man. The rest is up to you!"
No room,
No flaws were revealed,
Bucky Lulu was invited out of the room by Halbottom.
Seeing that little carelessness, Bucky Lulu, who slowly closed the door that shut the people inside, could no longer say anything.
She already understood.
The Eighth Fleet Admiral she was familiar with, Duane Halbaton who advocated Project G, probably no longer exists.
however,
She didn't know.
The back of her departure was watched by the upper level of the base.
"Huh! I didn't expect Natal Bucky Lulu to have such a relationship with Halbaton."
In the shadows, a voice full of hatred came.
"No. Don't make a fuss. As long as you live on that ship, there are few people who won't have anything to do with Halberton. Brigadier Hanton."
After another slow male middleman sounded, he continued:
"But even so, there is no way to conceal the talents of Natal Bucky Lulu. In our shortlist, only she is qualified to be the captain of the Lord Angel."
"Huh! That's it! Anyway, the Eighth Fleet has been dismantled by us! And Halbaton can only stay in the depths of this base until he is old."
"Hey! That's right!"
Halbaton in their mouth already knew his fate.
Do not.
It should be said that when the Archangel successfully landed in Alaska, when the confrontation between the Eighth Fleet and the squadron led by Cruze ended and returned to the lunar base, Halbaton had already understood his destiny.
However, in this fate, Halbaton has a feeling.
That is, I will not end up with the unbearable ending that those people think.
as long as···
As long as you stick to some point in the future.
"Ob has fallen. Uzmi Nala Ashar also seems to be martyred. Then, the seeds he left behind should also come to the universe. The opportunity should come!"
The seed in Halbarton's mouth is no one else.
It was the Archangel and Kusana that came to the desolate and permanent L4 Lagrange point.
It used to be a busy colony satellite group.
However, as the war between Zaft and the Earth Union became more intense, the L4 that was spread by the war still failed to escape the fate of ruin.
Precisely because of this, this has also become a temporary anchor point for the Archangel and Kusanagi.
"The code comparison is complete! It is the tail of the giant snake and the recovery room that left first."
I saw that in the airspace filled with many fragments, behind the gleaming light, it happened to be the tail of the giant snake and the mothership of the recovery house.
"Okay! Here, everyone can take a break!"
Near L4 Mendel is a desert in space.
As long as there are no accidents, no one will come here.
In Lei Mingkai's memory, the subsequent Zaft and Earth union is far from visible.
indeed.
After confirming that there were no signs of enemies around, Maru discussed with the captain of the Kusanaru Zizaka, and arranged for the rotation of personnel and personnel on duty.
Otherwise, everyone after a great battle might not be able to hold on for long.
"Audrey. Are you free?"
Lei Mingkai blinked at Lux.
"It just happens that I take turns! Come here now."
Lacus comprehendly responded, and after entrusting the matter to Miriaria, he followed Lei Mingkai and came to Gnaku.
Then, after obtaining Maru's consent, the two piloted the airship and flew towards the colonial satellite Mendel in front.
This is not an adventure game the two want to play.
Rather, in this colonial satellite, someone has already been there, waiting for the arrival of Lei Mingkai and Lux.
No, when the two airships flew over the mothership of the recovery house, Luo’s Red Heresy also flew out of the mothership, waved towards Lei Mingkai and Lacus, and flew into Mendel first. Clear the way for the two landing.
"Why is my father waiting for us in this colonial satellite?"
Lux looked at Mendel who was getting closer, very puzzled.
"Perhaps, this colonial satellite is the birthplace of the legendary "strongest adjuster", right?"
A red light appeared from the edge of Lei Mingkai's eyes.
It is Covenant Gundam.
Like Lei Mingkai and Lux, its destination seems to be Mendel.
