Under the light, the huge jet-black steel giant was slowly pulled up from the heavy-duty transport vehicle by the crane, and then placed on the mobile platform, and slowly entered the temporarily cleared Gnaku.

This is Scandinavia's first exposure to emerging technologies.

Whether it is the specifications that should be used in the containment site, or the technical indicators and equipment for daily maintenance, it is a huge challenge for Scandinavian technicians.

Especially, in this situation where both eyes are black, it is a huge problem to repair the lost hands and feet of the dark steel giant.

"I didn't expect that the Dark Assault would be brought back so quickly."

Lei Mingkai stood on the high platform, looking at the technicians below who were busy surrounding the dark attack, and sighed slightly.

"That's also thanks to the help of Special Envoy Bernard."

Astrid stared at the other side - military trucks with the logo of the Eurasian Federation were following the instructions of the personnel sent by Scandinavia, and drove into this place in a long convoy.

A temporary factory built on the edge of the Scandinavian border.

This is a temporary factory built in the name of a food processing plant for refugee relief.

Although it is different in reality than in name, this temporary factory still transfers a steady stream of food from the country to refugee gathering points established around the Scandinavian border.

This can be considered a kind of disguise.

A tacit pretense shared by both parties.

"The United Nations is planning to attack Victoria Airport so soon?"

Looking at the dark attack that was slowly pushed into the factory, Lei Mingkai pondered.

He had reached an agreement with the special envoy Bernard before, but Lei Mingkai remembered that it should be at least two months before the real third Victoria offensive and defensive battle.

"No. According to the intelligence obtained by Jörmungandr, the Alliance does not plan to launch the third offensive and defensive battle of Victoria so soon. What Bernard and the others are doing now is nothing more than attacking everywhere and using some benefits to win over their allies. After all,

, the force required to attack Victoria Airport cannot be accomplished by relying on one or two armored detachments."

Astrid told the information she knew one by one, but among the information, there were a few points that made Remingkai pay special attention.

First of all, the withdrawal of the "Desert Tiger" left a gap in ZAFT's defense forces in North Africa and south of the Mediterranean. Under such circumstances, ZAFT still followed the pace that Remingkai was familiar with.

Prepare for a larger and more brutal battle.

"For this reason, are you willing to transfer the latest technology you just acquired to us? Do you want us to use it as a knife to attack Victoria Airport?"

At the moment when the dark attack was completely isolated in the factory by two huge iron doors, Lei Mingkai showed a hint of ridicule.

"That is inevitable. Although the Earth Alliance is powerful, there is not only one voice within them."

Astrid said loudly.

"From the moment this war began, the Earth United seemed to have declared war on PLANT and launched a fierce battle. However, in fact, not long after the war began, two important members of the Earth United who had considerable say in the war,

And they all pretended to be onlookers."

"The Nova Attack and Defense War? That was a battle that caused substantial estrangement within the Earth Alliance."

Remingkai muttered a name silently, knowing that what Astrid said was correct.

"Although the new MS technology we got in Scandinavia is the latest developed by the Earth Alliance, in fact they seem to have a newer and more powerful MS. This has also been confirmed by Jörmungandr.

.”

Astrid sighed quietly.

"That is inevitable. Otherwise, they would not be so generous. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of MS cannot be judged from one-sided data. The pilot who drives it is the decisive factor. Otherwise, no matter how good it is,

MS is just a giant piece of scrap metal."

"It does sound like that."

Lei Mingkai's words made Astrid smile slightly, and then continued to ask:

"So, are you planning to go to the United Earth's base in the Middle East after the Dark Assault is repaired, or do you have other plans?"

Lei Mingkai pondered for a while, constantly calculating his next actions in his mind.

"What do you think?"

"I think?"

Astrid was stunned for a moment, then showed a playful smile.

"Your Excellency is really good at changing the subject! However, if possible, I would suggest that you go to Orb first. After all, the princess is still here! If she is still here, our actions may be a little difficult.

Expand."

"Orb?"

"Yes. As for Victoria, we can still delay it for a while! In addition, the existence of that small island may make you feel uneasy, right?"

indeed.

As long as the mystery of that small island is not solved, the dark clouds hanging over Lei Mingkai's mind will never be lifted.

Just as Astrid said, there is a great opportunity now for Remingkai and the others to go to Orb in a legitimate manner.

"Is there any reason why the restoration work of the Dark Strike has not made progress and why I want to escort Miss Audrey to Orb for a friendly visit?"

"Yes."

At this moment, the two of them smiled tacitly.

A notice from the Kingdom of Scandinavia was placed in front of Cagalli.

Cagalli looked back and forth several times at the announcement, which was only the size of an A4 paper and contained only a few hundred words, but she couldn't react for a moment.

"Zissaka. What exactly is Scandinavia?"

"I don't know. However, as a national etiquette, this is inevitable. Miss Cagalli, you came to this country in person and attended the banquet held for the second daughter of the Sass family. As a thank you gift, their behavior is understandable.

.”

After knowing the content of the notice, Chisaka just expressed his opinion, but in fact, the meaning of Scandinavia is probably only known by Uzmi, who is known as the Orb Lion.

See it through!

As for Cagalli...

It's far from that point yet.

"Yeah?"

Cagalli's eyes fell on the list of people visiting Orb, and she discovered that after the name Audrey Sass, there was the name Kai Britannia.

"He, why is he on this list?"

At the banquet, Cagalli saw the scene between Remingkai and Bernard having fun.

Under the influence of this scene, Cagalli will inevitably regard Lei Mingkai as someone who has joined the Eurasian Federation.

"It is said that he is the guardian knight of Miss Audrey Sasse."

"Guardian Knight?"

Cagalli's eyes widened slightly, as if she was surprised by the name Guardian Knight.

"That's the official title for Kay Brittania. Miss Cagalli."

Chisaka coughed slightly and reminded Cagalli not to think wildly.

Zissaka had a similar reaction when he first heard the Scandinavian official's name for Remenko.

He never imagined that such an ancient name would still exist in this world where humans have already set foot in the universe.

"Really? Forget it. He is also on the list to visit Orb, so it means that this country has no intention of joining this war."

Cagalli suddenly felt that her actions seemed a bit reckless.

Even during this period of time, Scandinavia has always been generous and allowed Cagalli to visit within the allowed range, but when Cagalli looks back, she will inevitably have a feeling - being attacked by that rude person.

Woman, the feeling that Mrs. Rose said.

"She's just a reckless wild girl wearing the aura of a princess."

"Zisaka. Let's get ready to go back!"

"Yes! Miss Cagalli."

The next day.

At the airport in the capital of Scandinavia, a team composed of the Scandinavian diplomatic mission visiting Orb, as well as Cagalli and others who returned to Orb, were conducting a mission in a specially designated protected area.

rest.

Cagalli, who was staying in her own area, looked around and finally set her sights on the couple in the Scandinavian diplomatic mission.

The two people being watched by Cagalli didn't seem to care about the looks from around them, and were still talking to themselves.

"Kay, I heard from Astrid about this trip. Is it really okay with you?"

Lux knew about the deal between Remingkai and the Eurasian Federation.

"No. After all, the fastest action over there will be two months later. With such a long time, the variables will naturally be huge. Therefore, before that, what we need is to solve the problem on our side."

"Is that the island?"
