It's just that despite the addition of Ito Sei, in the face of absolute numbers, the advantage of one or two airframes can't change the outcome of the entire war at all. So after a few hours of fighting, Obu suddenly issued a retreat order to the Archangel alone, ordering it to retreat to the mass accelerator Kaguya, preparing to ascend to the universe with Obu's Kusanagi.
"Leave Obu? Are you saying that we have to escape? Master Himi. "In the command room of the Bright Night mass accelerator, Margaux looked at Himi in shock.
"I'm sure all of you know that it's only a matter of time before Aubrey falls," Chi Mi said calmly in a deep voice.
"Father, what are you saying?" Kaka asked in disbelief.
"Everyone has already taken refuge, and the enemy has reinforcements. The next attack will be taken by us." Himi turned to Kaka and whispered to everyone.
"But even if we lose Obu, there is still something we cannot lose." Himi looked at Margaux and Sei Itō, Mu, and the helmsman of the Archangel behind him and said, "Behind the Earth Corps is the leader of the Blue Persian Chrysanthemum, Murta Azrael. Moreover, Plant has now fallen into the hands of Patrick Sala, who advocates that the Adjusters should be the new race. If this continues, the world will become an endless war between two factions that do not recognize each other. Will your future become like this? If you can see another future, then hold on to the only remaining spark here and move towards that goal. "
"Although this is a very difficult path, I hope you can understand, Margaux Lamias." Himi finally said to Margaux gently.
"We believe that although the spark is small, it will never be extinguished." Margaux looked at Sei Itō and Mu behind her and said with a serious expression.
"Then quickly go and prepare." Himi said.
"Yes." Margaux agreed and brought Sei Itō, Mu, and the helmsman back to the Archangel to prepare. As for the following battle, Sei Itō and Mu did not need to participate.
Just as Archangel was preparing nervously, the three new Gundams of the Earth Army that had previously returned to the fleet due to exhaustion of energy appeared on the battlefield again and flew rapidly towards Huiye.
"Captain Ramias, let's go." At the same time, Nimmy's voice rang out from the bridge.
"I understand." She then contacted Kira, who was already seated in the Freedom Gundam. "Kira."
"I'll cover you. Archangel, set off," Kira said immediately.
"Raise the bow of the ship by 20 degrees. Prepare the positron siege cannon." After receiving Kira's reply, the Archangel's engine immediately started at full speed, propelling the Archangel into the sky. At the same time, Maude, who was sitting in the captain's seat, ordered loudly with a serious expression, "Launch!"
As Maude's words fell, two scarlet lights immediately shot out from the front of the Archangel's legs and rushed into the sky. Then, as if a seal had been broken, a circular positron diffusion interference immediately appeared in the sky. It enveloped the Archangel like an ion channel, helping the Archangel to break free from the shackles of gravity and accelerate into the atmosphere.
Then, shortly after the Archangel ascended into the sky, the Grass Shaker, which was wrapped in heat-resistant armor, also accelerated away from the mass accelerator under the protection of the Freedom and Justice Gundams and broke through into the universe.
The moment after the Grass Shaker left the mass accelerator, a bright white light brighter than the sun suddenly lit up from the center of Aub. Then, a series of violent explosions occurred in Aub, destroying Aub's government building, the Dawn Society's factory, and the mass accelerator Huiye that the Alliance desperately wanted.
…
One day and one night later, on June 18, the Grass Shaker, which was in geosynchronous orbit, completed the combination operation with the other parts of the Grass Shaker that were previously stored in orbit. Then, Maude, Sei Itō, and Mu took a small engineering inspection ship to the Grass Shaker to discuss the next plan of action with the actual person in charge of the Grass Shaker, Kisaka.
"Welcome to the Grass Shaker." In the garage of the Grass Shaker, Kisaka, who was wearing an Aub military uniform, said to Maude and the other two who came out of the inspection ship.
"Thank you," Maude thanked him. Then, she left the garage with Kisaka and walked toward the bridge.
"The facilities here are so complete." During the journey, Mu looked at what he saw along the way and sighed.
"Since the beginning, the Grass Shaker has been used as a ship to communicate with the colonial satellite Heliopolis. Although the mech's operating system and weapons are equipped, it is not as complete as the Archangel," Kisaka explained.
"It is divided into five parts and only uses the central part to communicate," Mu said. "It is a very efficient way to do it."
Soon, they came to the bridge of the Grass Shaker.
"It looks like the Archangel," Maude exclaimed as she looked at the environment in the bridge.
"It is the Archangel that looks like it because their mothers are all from the Dawn Society." Kisaka smiled at Maude, then turned to look at the woman sitting in front of the console with her back facing them. "Can you show the universe map?"
"Yes." Immediately after, that woman's voice sounded.
"Director Erica Simmons?" Mu exclaimed in surprise.
"Hello, Major. Because you want to use the M1 in an unfamiliar space, you can't do it without me. " Erica smiled and greeted Mu, but when she glanced at Sei Itō from the corner of her eye, a complicated look flashed in her eyes. Then, Erica turned back and pressed on the console, and a universe map appeared on the big screen in front of Kisaka.
"Now we are here." Kisaka landed in front of the map, looked at one of the big red dots, and said, "As you can see, L5 is Plant, and L3 is Artemis. But neither of these places is suitable for us, so the only place we can go now is probably here."
"Go to the L4 colonial satellite group?" Maude asked in surprise.
"Although the Grass Shaker and the Archangel have no problems with supplies at the moment, they are not inexhaustible, especially fresh water, which will soon become an urgent need," Kisaka explained. At this time, Carrie, who was wearing the Dawn Society uniform, and Aslan, as well as Kira, who was wearing the Earth military uniform, came to the bridge together to listen to Kisaka.
"The L4 colonial satellite group was destroyed at the beginning of the war, and then abandoned one after another. Now there is no one left, but it can still be used as a water source."
"It reminds me of some painful memories," Maude said softly.
"It doesn't matter, this is different from Unius 7." Sei Itō patted Maude's shoulder and smiled. Then Maude remembered that Sei Itō had participated in the attack and defense of the L4 satellites. In terms of understanding of the L4 satellites, no one here could compare to him.
"There are still a few colonial satellites in L4 that are still in operation." At this time, Aslan suddenly said, "A long time ago, due to intelligence reports that the Youke Group used that place as a base, Zaft had investigated that area. Although there are no longer any residents, there should still be a few colonial satellites that are still in operation. "
"If it's a suspicious group … I have a rough idea." Sei Itō said thoughtfully, and then said to the people looking at him, "It's probably the mercenaries and recyclers, and possibly the intelligence dealers. L4 was their gathering place before it was destroyed. But don't worry too much, those guys are very smart, they won't attack us for no reason, so going to the L4 satellite group is not a bad choice. "
"Then it's decided." Kira smiled at Carrie.
"Okay." Carrie agreed.
"But, is this really okay?" Since the next path had been decided, Mu suddenly turned to Aslan and said, "Of course it's not just you, there's another person as well. I also saw the battle on Aub, this was forced by the situation at the time. Although I don't care about the military uniform you're wearing, we may have to fight Zaft in the future based on the situation, this is different from Aub, are you aware of this? Also, you're Patrick Sarah's son right? "
"Whose son he is has nothing to do with this. Aslan, he … "Carrie said angrily.
"It's more painful than you think for a soldier to leave his own army, not to mention that the leader there is his own father. If he doesn't believe in his own righteousness, he can't even go to the battlefield. This is a very big turning point, is it that simple? And he's different from Kira, he's a regular soldier of Zaft. " Mu said seriously to Carrie, then stared at Aslan and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, but if we're going to fight together, I hope you can trust me. Is that okay? What do you think? "
After a moment of silence, Aslan looked up at Mu and said seriously, "In Aub … no, in Plant, on Earth, I've thought a lot about what I've seen and heard. Whether it's right or wrong, what I know and what I don't know, I haven't figured out these yet, but … the world I envision is the same as all of you, I think so now."
"You're really strong." Hearing Aslan's words, Mu immediately returned to his usual self and said frivolously, "Different from Kira."
"I've been like this since I was young." Kira was stunned at first, then looked at Aslan and smiled.
"The things Aub gave us are huge," Mu said softly. "To be honest, it's almost impossible with just these two battleships, but our determination won't change."
"In fact, if you are really determined, it is not impossible to achieve it." As soon as Mu's words fell, Ito Sei suddenly said. Instantly, everyone's eyes, including Erica Simmons, focused on him again, looking at him seriously and expectantly, waiting for him to speak.
