In the scorching desert,
A gust of wind that made one's face hurt,
There was also a rustling sound that covered most of one's vision.
But these could not cover Butterfield's vision, nor could they cover the face behind the screen.
"That … That's Lacus Klein?! How is that possible?! "
Isha, who was sitting in the back seat, exclaimed and straightened her body uncontrollably.
That pink hair that fluttered in the wind,
That pair of firm and clear eyes,
That familiar face,
Butterfield clenched his teeth, but he found that his thoughts were extremely clear.
The person in front of him was real.
That was not the fairy tale princess in the PLANT in space, far away from the earth's land, but the real songstress princess who fell into the mortal world from the endless void.
"Lacus Klein. Is that so? "
Butterfield was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Hahahaha! So that's it! So that's it!! "
"Captain Butterfield. Stop it! You have no chance of winning! "
In the midst of Butterfield's laughter, Ray Mingkai's voice sounded on the communication channel.
"Hey! Yes! We have no chance of winning! From the beginning, we were not your opponent. Is that so? Knight, no, the survivor from Unius 7, Ray Mingkai! "
Butterfield's thoughts began to operate at high speed when the pink figure appeared in the cockpit of the white Baku.
Everything formed a chain in Butterfield's mind.
The passenger plane that inexplicably crashed in the desert,
The broken Baku that should have been scrapped and turned into a battlefield tombstone was unexpectedly reactivated and involved in the battle again,
The strange man and woman that suddenly appeared in town,
And the pink figure that walked out of the repaired Baku's cockpit,
All of this told Butterfield a fact.
The sky was going to change!
"I didn't expect you to be able to guess my identity. As expected of the Desert Tiger. That's right! My name is Ray Mingkai. "
Hearing Lei Mingkai confess his identity, Butterfield already had a rough idea of the situation.
"Aisha. Go out! This battle is over. "
Rakko's power was gradually turned off. Butterfield and isha walked out of the cockpit and stood on the blazing desert. They looked at the girl standing in front of the white Baku across the tumbling sandstorm.
"The battle is over! Captain Baltfield. Your subordinates are not in any danger. "
Ever since the Silver Wind incident, this was the first time Lux had revealed her true appearance to anyone other than Ray Mingkai.
"Andy. Was she really Lax Klein? Isn't she … "
"Yes! Aisha. She was Lax Klein. No, to be exact, she was the real Lax Klein. As for the one from PLANT, I'm afraid it's a fake. "
"How is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible. Aisha. That annoying Kreutzer has been transferred back to PLANT. "
Suddenly, just as Butterfield was about to open his mouth, a wave of movement came from a nearby sand dune.
"Stop! Martin! That's not an enemy! "
On the dune, the red-haired youth with a pale face and bloodstains on his forehead struggled to raise the gun in his hand. He stared intently at the figure standing in front of the white Baku with his eyes that were blurred by captivating red.
Then, he pulled the trigger!
"Bang!"
The sound of the gunshot immediately suppressed the clamor of the wind.
The bullet with A Red-haired Boy's killing intent swept across the sand dune and went straight for the pink figure.
However,
The bullet did not hit the target in the next second. Instead, it was blocked by a looming "wall".
"Buzz!"
Immediately after, just as Butterfield shouted to stop, the bullet that was blocked by the "wall" turned back and flew toward the sand dune where Martin was at a faster speed than before.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, a small bullet shot from Martin's pistol plunged into the sand dune under Martin's feet and set off an explosion that could not be caused by a small pistol bullet.
In the huge impact, the sand dune under Martin's feet exploded.
Martin, who was standing on top of it, was like a kite with a broken string. After flying high into the air, he fell heavily on another sand dune, letting his body roll down the sand dune.
"Martin!"
The whole process of Martin shooting and being blown up only took a short moment. Other than shouting to stop him, Butterfield could only watch him roll down the sand dune.
"Aisha. Go and check on Martin! "
This episode was not what Butterfield expected, but it had already happened.
"Don't worry! It's just some superficial wounds. We controlled the power. "
Lei Mingkai's figure emerged from the cockpit of the white Baku and walked to Lux's side.
"Power? What was that flash of light just now? Is this the power that allowed you to survive the Silver Wind incident? "
Butterfield looked between Ray Mingkai and Lacus, then stared at Ray Mingkai and said.
"Did you hold back just now?"
"Sort of! Against the famous Desert Tiger, I've already done my best. "
Ray Mingkai nodded and agreed with Butterfield's statement.
It was easy to kill the enemy, but in a battle of life and death, it was far more difficult to leave the opponent alive than to kill each other.
Butterfield was silent, then shook his head.
"Forget it! Then, can you tell me why you are here? And not in PLANT? "
"We can't go back for the time being! Captain Butterfield. I'm sure you already know what PLANT and Zaft have become. "
Lacus took a step forward and looked directly into Butterfield's eyes.
Compared to Ray Mingkai who landed on Earth on the Archangel and could only obtain a small amount of information through official channels, Butterfield, who was inside Zaft and commanded a force, had more convenient and extensive information channels.
Butterfield was silent.
Indeed.
Ever since the Silver Wind incident broke out, although the Klein Faction constantly called for restraint and only pursued the real culprit, in the eyes of some people, the actions of the Klein Faction, especially the girl who was still in the hospital and had not been discharged from the hospital, were undoubtedly equivalent to fanning the flames.
"She, who is she?"
"I don't know. The only thing I know is that after the Silver Wind incident, she has become me. Captain Butterfield. I hope you can trust me on this. "
"Trust you? You're really making things difficult for me! "
After Butterfield let out a self-deprecating laugh, he looked at Ray Mingkai.
"Your Highness! The reason we can stand here and chat now is because your Knight Protector showed mercy. It's not because of my doubts about her, Lacus Klein. "
"Then, Butterfield, you can go and verify it. Prove who is the real Lacus Klein between me and her. "
The next moment, Lacus's words stunned Butterfield.
"Really … really surprised me. Your Highness. Aren't you afraid that I will come back with more troops to kill you? "
"You can try! Captain Butterfield! But next time, I won't show mercy. "
The one who responded to Butterfield was Ray Mingkai.
"Using the power that bounced Martin's bullet back? The power that could scatter Baku in one hit? "
"That's just one of the many methods."
Ray Mingkai said frankly.
"One of the many?"
Butterfield muttered.
"It seems that not only have we been underestimated, we have even been reduced to a group of soldiers not worth mentioning! Hehe. "
A myriad of thoughts, but they could not stop Butterfield from judging the current situation.
"Naturally, I will investigate Lax Klein's identity. But, will you let us leave now? "
Butterfield's worry was real.
When Lacus revealed her true identity, the position of Butterfield and the others became subtle.
If they were allowed to leave, they might turn around and bring more enemies to hunt down Ray Mingkai and Lacus. They might even attract the forces from PLANT to pursue them.
For example, the MS troops led by Law Lu Kreuzer.
However, Lacus and Ray Mingkai had already reached a consensus on this point.
"Yes. We have no evil intentions. This battle is just for the sake of having a conversation with you, Captain Butterfield. For this reason, other than the damage to Baku, we did not harm your lives. "
Lacus' words made Butterfield shrug his shoulders.
"This is difficult! Knight. This battle is not just a civil war between Baku. I'm afraid you have already sent Dawn Desert to my base before this, right? "
"Indeed. But, Captain Butterfield, didn't you already expect this? "
Butterfield glanced at Ray Mingkai, who had also seen through his actions, and coldly snorted.
"Likewise!"
Smoke constantly rose from the off-road vehicle. The sound waves set off by the anti-armor missiles hit the sky above the base, destroying the sentry towers and strongholds built in the various key areas of the base.
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Zaft has already lost all of Baku! There is no longer any force that can stop Dawn Desert from reclaiming this city! Quick! Quick! Quick! "
Dawn Desert's leader, Seb, looked at his team members who had successfully attacked the base with excitement. He constantly waved his arms, beckoning his team members behind him to keep up.
"He really succeeded!"
On another off-road vehicle, Carrie raised the shoulder-fired missile and stared blankly at the base that was originally impossible to break through.
"Carrie! We have to move faster! Zaft's Baku seems to have withdrawn from this base. "
Zisaka bent down slightly, picked up the semi-automatic rifle beside his feet, and handed it to Carrie.
Following the fall of this base, Zaft's rule over this area had also ended.
However, was this really the result of that young man?
Zisaka did not know the answer to this question.
Outside the base where smoke was rising, a red MS was quietly squatting at the bottom of the valley, waiting for its time to attack.
As for its owner, he put down the binoculars in his hand with a relaxed expression.
"Sure enough, this is a very profitable business."
Law did not expect this commission to be so easy.
He just brought his Red Heretic Gao Da here and quietly watched the end of the battle.
"Law. Don't you think it's a bit strange? That base didn't seem to resist! Dawn Desert's group seems to have just picked up a big bargain. "
"Is that so?"
Shan Chui Shu's words made Luo frown, but he didn't care much.
"Forget it! Since Dawn Desert has captured Zaft's base, and Zaft's MS did not appear, then our commission is over. Let's go back! "
"Okay!"
Dawn Desert, who was dazzled by the easy victory, did not find any abnormalities in the base. Even if there were some sober people who found even a trace of abnormalities, they could not express their objection in front of the huge fruits of victory.
This was because the Zaft Army led by Butterfield had really left this place.
"Andy. Martin is fine, he just fainted from the fall. The wound on his head is just a flesh wound. "
Aisha, who checked on Martin's condition, returned to Butterfield's side and said softly.
"Yeah. I know. Send a signal to let everyone abandon unnecessary things and hide according to the original plan! "
After Butterfield finished speaking, he took two steps forward, stood in front of Ray Mingkai, and extended his hand.
"Thank you! Your Excellency Knight. Thank you for bringing Her Royal Highness here. "
Looking at Butterfield's right hand, Ray Mingkai extended his hand and responded.
"It's what I should do. Captain Butterfield. "
Butterfield smiled gently, let go of his hand, and said self-deprecatingly:
"From today onwards, there is no Captain Butterfield. What we have is just Andy Baltfield who escaped from the battlefield. "
Immediately after, Butterfield raised his hand to stop Lux from speaking.
"Your Royal Highness. Which one is the real Lacus Klein? I will verify it. But I hope that before the results come out, you can see the truth of this world. "
Lacus moved her lips, but in the end, she just nodded silently.
"I will. Captain Butterfield. "
Butterfield waved his hand.
"I've said it. From now on, there is no Captain Butterfield! "
After saying that, Butterfield patted Ray Mingkai's shoulder forcefully.
"Young man! We'll meet again! "
"We'll meet again!"
Ray Mingkai and Lacus did not explain much about the Silver Wind incident. With a simple exchange, the man named Desert Tiger seemed to have understood what Ray Mingkai and Lacus meant.
