Although the vast universe is empty, it is still easy to hide some things.
Therefore, at a certain time period, in a certain space region, near a certain orbit that is about to become a hope, a certain ZAFT fleet that "happened" to appear here is appearing here in a silent sailing posture.
"Report! An unknown target appears in the space ahead! Based on the infrared and optical radar scans, it can be basically confirmed that it is a new mobile suit used by the Earth Alliance during the Nova War!"
Among the leading Nazca-class battleships, a middle-aged man wearing ZAFT white clothes frowned.
There was indeed an encounter in this area not long ago, but ZAFT finally defeated the Earth United fleet after paying the price of one Nazca-class aircraft and two Zeon aircraft.
Judging from the post-war reports, this was just an unremarkable encounter.
However, in the following days, both the ZAFT fleet participating in the war and the fleet he led vaguely heard a piece of information from "certain channels".
That is, the Earth Alliance will test new equipment and new weapons in this area. Once these new equipment and new weapons are put into practice, they will pose a serious threat to ZAFT and even PLANT itself.
As the information "received" appears, the content becomes more and more serious and horrifying.
In the end, ZAFT's white-clad commander couldn't hold it any longer and ordered his fleet to remain silent and sneak up to this area.
Then, they were surprised to find that the Earth Alliance was really active in this area, and through continuous scanning with optical radar, they also discovered the existence of the Heavenly Pillar.
"Then, isn't that Orb's Heavenly Pillar?"
As a fleet commander cruising abroad, this commander in white is no stranger to the existence of the Heavenly Pillar.
Even since the joint war with the Earth, he has met the Heavenly Pillar several times from a distance.
"But the orbit where the Heavenly Pillar is located is not here."
His adjutant frowned.
From the database, it is indeed the Heavenly Pillar.
But the orbit of the Heavenly Pillar is not here.
What's more, those who appeared in front of the Heavenly Pillar were the MS and MA troops of the Earth Alliance.
Could it be that the United Earth is really secretly testing some new type of weapon as the "intelligence" said?
"Can we contact the local PLANT?"
The commander in white looked at CIC cautiously.
Almost half a month has passed since he led this fleet to sail. If he hadn't received "that intelligence", he would have been on the return route by now.
Therefore, he was afraid that something he didn't know would happen during this half month.
A few minutes later, CIC seemed to have made contact with the mainland. After nodding repeatedly, it forwarded the communication to the commander in white.
Seeing this, a look of solemnity flashed across the face of the commander in white, he picked up the microphone at hand and made contact with the other party.
"Yes! It's me. Please speak!"
PLANT satellite group, the colonial satellite where ZAFT headquarters is located - December City.
After completing the formation of the army, Cruze, who rarely took a break, put on light clothes and sat in a coffee shop not far from Zaft's headquarters. He leisurely flipped through the newspaper in his hand, holding a cup from time to time and slowly reading.
Take a sip.
He is waiting for someone.
He is waiting for the right person to appear.
As the hour hand moved, a handsome young man with blue hair like the blue ocean appeared on the side of the street.
"Captain Cruse. I am Aslan Sala."
Under the gaze of everyone around him, the young man walked up to Cruze, stood at attention and saluted.
"Well. Nice to meet you. I'm R. Lu Cruze."
After Kruse stood up and saluted, he pointed to the chair.
"Please sit down! If you want something to drink, feel free to do so. Oh, and please don't tense up. Today is just a private meeting between you and me. With Zaft, or with the review
It won’t matter.”
Seeing Cruze speaking so calmly, the young man couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
Just as the waiter came over and asked the boy if he had any favorite drinks, a commotion suddenly came from the other side of the street, causing a series of exclamations and shrill screams.
Before the boy could react, an even more terrifying explosion suddenly went off.
"boom!!!"
A violent shock wave suddenly swept through the entire street, scattering panicked passers-by. It also blew away all the surrounding signs, sun umbrellas, tables and chairs placed on the roadside, and then hit passers-by.
"Danger!"
The young man was startled, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull down the stunned waiter, then turned the table in front of him down to block the two of them.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
There was a sudden sound of several objects hitting the table, and the waiter finally reacted.
"Thank you... Thank you! Guest, thank you so much!"
The young man shook his head, cautiously raised his head from behind the table, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the shock wave caused by the explosion had dissipated.
"What a misfortune! Aslan, it seems that our meeting today was not a pleasant experience."
Compared to Aslan, who was a little embarrassed, Kruse, who was dressed in light casual clothes, was unusually calm and even joked about his meeting with Aslan.
"Captain Cruze, are you okay?"
Cruze shook his head and pointed forward.
"Aslan, you need to care about them more than me."
Aslan raised his head and saw that pedestrians were lying on the street.
In fact, the closer you get to the center of the explosion, the more horrific the tragedy becomes.
"Then, are those...Zaft's people?"
At the center of the explosion, a raging fire was burning a car, and not far from the car, a man was in tatters, but it could be vaguely seen that he was wearing ZAFT's black uniform, but his lower body had been blown up
The man fell into a blur and fell into a pool of blood.
"I'm responsible for treating other people, Aslan, you go check on that person's condition."
Cruze took the lead and began to treat passers-by who were affected by the explosion.
Aslan was a little slower, but his goal was very clear, which was to go up and check the condition of the man in black from ZAFT.
It was a pity that when Aslan walked quickly through the streets that were in a mess and full of screams, the man in black from ZAFT reluctantly rolled his eyes, glanced at Aslan, and then died.
"What on earth happened?!"
Aslan couldn't figure out the clue at all.
It was obviously just an ordinary day, but something like this happened!!
what is happening?
Half an hour later, after Aslan, who was covered in blood, assisted the medical staff to put the last wounded person into the medical vehicle, he saw Cruze, who was also covered in blood, standing next to him.
"Captain Cruze, I'm so sorry! Today..."
Cruze raised his hand and patted Aslan's shoulder, but in the next second, he looked at the blood mark on Aslan's shoulder and said half wryly, half teasingly.
"Didn't I just say it? Today seems to be our unlucky day!"
