On a sunny day with clear blue waves, an imposing super fleet that had assembled several fleets from the Earth Alliance was sailing from north to southwest along a predetermined route.

As this super fleet split through the waves and moved forward into the wind, five to ten warships of different models left the fleet and headed away in other directions.

"The first squadron and the second squadron have entered the scheduled sea area, and the third and fourth squadrons still need half an hour to reach the scheduled sea area."

There was a tense and orderly scene on the bridge of the flagship aircraft carrier Enterprise of the United Earth's Orb combat fleet.

Regardless of whether they are the captain in command, or the units that carry out commands to the flagship and other warships in the fleet, they all complete the work before the battle begins step by step according to the predetermined pace.

"It seems that this country that likes to dream still hasn't woken up!"

In the bridge, a young man with short blond hair and a sky blue suit sighed softly.

"Perhaps I am hoping that there will be different voices from the international community."

The person who said this was the captain of the aircraft carrier.

The man in a suit, Murta Azrael, the director-general of Blue Cosmos, smiled, waved his hand casually and said:

"International influence? Ridiculous! What kind of international influence is there in this world now? They are either our United Earth allies, or those adjusters who should have been destroyed! Orb, you still want to stand in the middle and fish in troubled waters? Hehe! This world

Nothing is that cheap!”

After a pause, Murta Azrael moved his eyes and looked at the porthole.

At this moment, outside the porthole, happened to be the fifth squadron, which was also the moment when the last squadron that completed the sea blockade of the main island where Orb's capital was located set off and disappeared from sight.

"All preparations have been completed! Just wait for the last minute to arrive! Orb! Don't let me down!"

In the dock of Shuguang Society, the dry dock has completed the water filling operation, and it is just waiting for the moment when the pure white warship waiting quietly in the dry dock will attack.

certainly.

The Liberty Gundam and Jet Black Strike Gundam, which have completed the modification work, have also returned to the Archangel's Gnaku, and are also waiting for the battle to begin.

"That's great! I also want to have Her Royal Highness to sort out my clothes!"

Holding his helmet and standing in front of a Heretic Gundam, Mu looked at the Liberty Gundam - the man and woman standing opposite each other, talking softly.

The soft black ponytail hangs gently on the white high-collared robe, and the soft white hands stroke the collar of the pilot uniform, which looks quite stiff compared to the clothes.

"Kay. Father and the others have already left Orb one step ahead. According to Jormungandr's intelligence, the Earth Alliance has deployed the Pacific Fleet, Atlantic Fleet, and even an unknown number of new mobile suits this time. So, please be careful!

"

Lux, who still maintained Audrey's appearance at this moment, gently warned Lei Mingkai.

Lei Mingkai smiled confidently.

"Yes. I will be careful! However, it is still unknown whether the Earth United mobile suits can touch the Freedom Gundam. After all, the current Freedom Gundam is equipped with a flying-wing light transmitter."

Listening to Lei Mingkai's words, Lux couldn't help but raise her gaze, looking at the steel giant behind Lei Mingkai, and at the pair of steel wings quietly gathered behind it.

Judging from the gray-black appearance, this pair of steel wings is unremarkable.

But as long as it is fully unfolded and blooms with brilliant brilliance, there will be a stream of light symbolizing death on the battlefield!

The appearance of this stream of light was a request that Lux made on a whim when she saw Sereni after she escaped from the Alaska military base with Remingkai.

Maybe this is God’s will!

"Kai, next, I will serve as CIC on the Archangel."

Dispelling the thoughts in her mind, Lux gently expressed her decision that she had never told Lei Mingkai.

"Huh? Really? I know!"

What surprised Lux ​​was that Lei Mingkai didn't express any objection, and even just said "hmm" and calmly accepted her decision to make an independent decision.

"Kai, don't you object?"

Lux asked a question, but received a chuckle from Lei Mingkai.

"No. There is no point in objecting! This is your decision! Then, after the battle starts, I will protect the Archangel!"

Lei Mingkai moved his eyes, glanced at Mu and other people in the maintenance team not far away, and asked in a low voice:

"Lux, you haven't told Captain Malu and the others yet, have you?"

Lux shook her head slightly.

"Let's wait until this battle is over! Prime Minister Uzmi also means the same thing."

That's right.

The existence of two former ZAFT pilots, Reming Kai and Nigel, was quite a shock to the crew of the Archangel.

If the crew were to learn that the black-haired girl following Remingkai was actually Lacus Klein of the PLANT Klein family, she was even related to the current leader of the Klein faction, Sigurd Klein.

If we pass each other by, I'm afraid some accidents might happen.

For the sake of safety, and to allow the Archangel to participate in this battle without being affected, both Lacus Klein and Orb Prime Minister Uzmi kept this secret tacitly.

"Miss Audrey! Miss Audrey! Please go to the bridge immediately after hearing the announcement! Please go to the bridge immediately after hearing the announcement!"

The radio suddenly sounded, and it was Mirialia's voice.

This girl who was born in Orb made a fateful choice when she learned that Orb was about to be attacked by the United Earth. She stayed on the Archangel to welcome the war.

Similarly, the people who stayed with her on the Archangel still had the presence of Kaz and Dole.

"I'm leaving first! Kai."

Lux first took two steps back, then took a few steps forward and gently hugged Lei Mingkai.

"I'll be watching you from the bridge, Kai! Please be careful!"

"Yeah. I'm right next to you! If anything happens, call me immediately!"

Youxiang left, and Lux's back disappeared into the elevator leading to the bridge.

Then, a whistle sounded from beside Lei Mingkai.

"Peeping at others is not something a morally sound adult would do! Major Mu."

Lei Mingkai didn't need to look back to know who was making the whistle.

"How enviable! Mr. Knight, compared to you who captured the heart of the princess, I am much more miserable!"

Surprisingly, Mu started to vomit his bitterness as he spoke.

This surprised Lei Mingkai.

Before he could react, Mu put his arms around Lei Mingkai's shoulders.

"Let me tell you, Sir Knight, don't talk about my side of things! Do you have any tips to make it smoother for me to drive a mobile suit? After all, this is my first time to drive such a big thing in a battle."

Heretic Gundam.

That was a machine Orb specially dispatched based on Mu's habits and abilities in order to enhance the Archangel's combat power as much as possible.

With the assistance of Shuguang Society in terms of hardware, Lei Mingkai also provided software support.

The purpose is to allow Mu to successfully pilot the Heretic Gundam.

Having said that, now that the trajectory of the Archangel has changed, even if Mu chooses to return to the Archangel, he will lose the fate of piloting the Strike Gundam.

This is really...

Um?

etc.

Suddenly, Lei Mingkai's eyes changed.

He seemed to have guessed something.

"Wait! Mr. Knight! Since you have guessed it, don't say it out loud! No matter what, I am still a major. At least I have to retain some dignity as a man, right?"

As soon as he saw the change in Lei Mingkai's eyes, Mu called out to Lei Mingkai on the spot.

Lei Mingkai shook his head helplessly.

No wonder you come to him for fun, it turns out...

"Ahem. Major Mu. I have debugged the OS program of Gundam Assault. There will be no problem when using the backpack left by Strike Gundam on the Archangel. However, the backpack interface has been temporarily processed.

For this reason, during combat, Major Mu must pay attention to the distance between him and the Archangel."

Mu nodded understandingly.

"Is it to prevent the backpack's output from suddenly decreasing or even exploding?"

"Well, yes. There is no way around this. Dawn Society has not designed many weapons for the M1 heresy. Therefore, we can only take some risks."

Mu nodded, patted Lei Mingkai's shoulder, and walked towards his heresy.

"Attention all ships! Attention all ships! All personnel are ready for level one combat! All personnel are ready for level one combat!!"

Lux's voice sounded.

The war between Orb and the Earth Alliance has begun!

The moment the clock passed the final time limit given to Orb by the Earth Alliance, Murtagh Azrael, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately gave the order to attack.
To be continued...
