When Fangzheng and the others arrived in this world, the Earth Federation Defense Headquarters was already in chaos.
"The Earth-Moon defense line has been completely lost! Don't we have any other way? "
The higher-ups of the Earth Federation slammed their fists on the table.
"Let's use nuclear bombs. That's our last resort!"
"Are you stupid? Nuclear bombs? Are you sure nuclear bombs will work on those monsters? If we can't get rid of those monsters, we'll be the ones who kill ourselves first! "
"So what? We're going to die anyway. Even if we die, we have to choose for ourselves! "
"Nonsense! What if, what if we can win? "
"Win? Are you kidding me? What do we have left? MS, battleships, defensive weapons, and even the fortress satellites can't fight against those terrifying metal monsters. What else can we do to win? "
Listening to the quarrel of the crowd, a burly man with hair in a V-shape closed his eyes and sighed.
He was the Commander of the Earth Federation Army and the father of the Fuzi's captain, Commander Li Jia. But now, he was just a tired old man.
"What are those monsters?"
While muttering to himself, the Commander opened his eyes and stared at the Reapers on the screen in front of him. Those metal monsters suddenly appeared. No one knew where they came from. They only knew that these monsters were first discovered on the battlefield between the Earth Federation and ZAFT. At that time, they thought these monsters were ZAFT's latest weapons, but they soon found out that this was not the case …
No, it should be said that the Commander hoped that these monsters were ZAFT's hidden weapons. That way, they could at least solve the problem through political means. But the situation was not like that. These metal monsters did not communicate with them at all. They only killed anyone they saw, be it Earthlings, Tweakers, Homo Evolutis, or aliens. To those alien monsters, they were all the same.
They mercilessly harvested all the armies on the battlefield at that time, completely wiping them out.
Before the two sides could react, news of the colonies and colonial satellites of both sides being attacked by these monsters came from all directions. Even the evil forces, including the Underground Empire and the Jupiter Lizards, were attacked by these monsters.
At that time, whether it was Earth, PLANT, Gideon, or the Martian forces, they all finally understood one thing.
That was, the other party's goal was to exterminate all life.
However, even if they knew this, even if they put aside their long-standing prejudices and joined forces, they were still no match for these terrifying metal monsters. In the counterattack on the moon, the fleets of various forces launched a counterattack against the reapers. However, after paying the painful price of two-thirds of the entire fleet, they only obtained the "result" of killing one reaper.
On the other hand, they had lost hundreds of warships, and the entire MS fleet had been destroyed. In the end, not even a tenth of them had survived.
Of course, they temporarily "repelled" the attack of the Reapers. After all, according to the report, those terrifying metal monsters left the moon after this battle.
But they did not really retreat. On the contrary, the Alliance soon found out why these strange things retreated. They went to human settlements all over the universe and launched a merciless attack!
The Mars colony was destroyed.
SIDE Colonial Satellites 1 to 7 were all destroyed.
The Jupiter Lizard Empire was blasted into pieces.
PLANT … became history three days ago.
But now … all that was left was Earth and the defeated soldiers in his hands.
The MS was useless. No matter which force it was, its attack power was not enough to penetrate the armour of those metal monsters. Not only that, the metal monsters' drones were the natural enemies of the MS. They were fast, agile, extremely strange, and had terrifying firepower. Basically, no MS could resist the attack of those drones!
By now, humanity was almost at the end of its rope.
The meeting had been going on for three days, and during these three days, there was only one question they were debating.
That was … should they use nuclear bombs to attack the reapers?
The positive view was that they would die sooner or later anyway. According to the information they had received, these reapers did not need slaves. They would use special technology to transform humans into terrifying monsters. In other words, even if humans surrendered, they would not escape death. In that case, they might as well die a glorious death. The nuclear bombs on Earth were enough to completely destroy the entire planet 180 times over. Even if they could not destroy those monsters, they would show them the backbone of humanity.
Humans could go extinct, but they would never surrender!
The negative view was that such self-abandonment would not end well. Although they had no way to defeat those monsters at the moment, humanity must not go extinct. They could hide, even if they had to live in a cave for tens of thousands of years. As long as they were alive, human civilisation would continue to exist one day!
Only when they were alive would there be hope! Death was just a cowardly act to escape fear!
"How ironic."
While the Commander was having a headache over this endless quarrel, an elegant and calm voice sounded beside him. The Commander turned his head and saw a blond man wearing a Gion uniform sitting on a chair next to him. The blond man folded his arms and looked at the meeting in front of him playfully.
"What a farce, isn't it? Commander, humanity is about to go extinct, yet they're still having a meeting here? If the meeting could solve those monsters, then we wouldn't need to show up, would we? "
"Captain Xiaya …."
Hearing the blond masked man's ridicule, the Commander smiled helplessly. But before he could say anything, another voice sounded from his other side.
"This is the nature of humanity, sad and weak. Humanity will eventually perish, and this is the beginning of destruction."
"Captain Kreutz …."
Looking at the blond masked man sitting on the other side of him, the Commander felt very uncomfortable. Can't you two masked men find a place to have a heart-to-heart talk? Why do you insist on sitting on my side, and sandwiching me in the middle, what's the meaning of this?
"To deal with those monsters, Captain Xiaya, do you have any methods?"
"I don't have any good methods ….. after all, human strength is limited. I can fight against an army, I can also find a chance to win in a battle to the death, but I won't be stupid enough to think about how to resist a landslide or a tsunami …."
"Interesting."
Hearing Xiaya's answer, Kreutz chuckled.
"So, Captain Xiaya, do you view those monsters as a natural disaster?"
"More or less, after all, they are very similar to natural disasters, aren't they? You see, they suddenly appear, suddenly erupt, and humans are simply powerless to resist … .this is not an enemy that we can fight against with the MS. But then again, Captain Kreutz, you don't seem to want humanity to win? This doesn't sound like the words of a hero who successfully broke the shield of those monsters and successfully destroyed one of them in the moon counterattack. "
"The destruction of humanity is destined. I just want to sit in the special seat and watch it. It's a pity to be asked to appear before the climax of a drama …."
Speaking until here, the two men looked at each other.
"Huhuhu …."
"Huhuhu …."
Imperial Commander-in-Chief: "… … … …"
Can you two go somewhere else to chat? I feel so cold here, is the air conditioning in the venue too high?
"Beep — —!"
However, at this moment, an urgent alarm suddenly sounded, interrupting the quarrel in the venue. Soon, an anxious voice appeared on the screen.
"Reporting, the radar has detected the metal monster! It's heading towards Earth! There are 30 of them! It will reach Earth in an hour! "
"Sure enough!"
Hearing this, the Commander's expression changed. He stood up, turned around, and walked out of the venue. In his opinion, what those politicians were discussing was irrelevant. As the Commander of the Federation Army, there was only one thing he had to do!
Accompanied by the urgent alarm, battleships quickly took off and arrived outside Earth in a formation. The Commander looked at the screen in front of him with his fists clenched.
This battle was a battle of life and death for the entire Earth. If they failed again, then … .humanity would really be completely destroyed.
"Reporting, enemy tracks have been detected ahead!" “
The Commander had already seen the sound of the huge Reapers on the screen. He raised his right hand, hesitated for a moment, and then swung it down.
"All fleets, fire!!"
