The scorched land was scattered with flames that were still burning.
Under these still dancing flames were the tents that were still crowded a few hours ago, but were now burned down by the attack of the armed helicopters.
Looking around, the refugees who were lucky enough to escape all had the same face after returning to the camp.
Frustration, sadness, but there was no anger.
It was as if the destroyed camp in front of them was something they were accustomed to.
"Miss Astrid. The preliminary results are out. In the attack just now, at least a hundred refugees died and thousands of people were injured. More than 70% of them were seriously injured. "
"Do your best to treat them! Save as many as you can. "
Astrid Sachs was not surprised by the preliminary results.
Under the attack of five armed helicopters, the unarmed refugees only suffered such casualties, which could be considered a great fortune amidst the misfortune.
After the people around her were sent away, Astrid looked up and looked at the right side of the razed camp.
There, an MS Baku, which was mainly white and had a golden edge, was standing there, quietly guarding the refugees who were looking for possible surviving supplies in the ruins like a guardian.
Under the protection of this pure white MS, the panic on the refugees' faces gradually subsided, leaving only hope for survival.
After the end of the battle just now, news came from the Scandinavian capital that they were organizing people to come to the border to accommodate the refugees. Before the new people arrived, Scandinavia allowed the refugees to temporarily enter Scandinavia's territory and resettle them while waiting for new arrangements.
However, on the ruins, there were still two somewhat troublesome existences.
The pilot of the white Baku, who piloted the five helicopters that were destroyed, stood next to the ruins and looked at the refugees who were rummaging through the ruins.
"Are they also adjusters?"
Under the white Baku, the black-haired girl couldn't bear to look at the refugees who rummaged through the ruins for a long time, but they were pleasantly surprised to see the charred objects. After screaming a few times, they turned around and ran to the temporary shelter in Scandinavia.
"Most likely. If that wasn't the case, those lunatics wouldn't have come here and started a massacre for no reason. "
The man standing beside the black-haired girl nodded slightly.
Although the battle just now was short, the White Cat State Zero had already cracked the communication channel between the armed helicopters and played their conversation to Ray Mingkai and Lacus.
"Blue Persian chrysanthemum."
The black-haired girl fell silent.
Now that the war between the Earth Union and PLANT was gradually heating up, the extremist Blue Persian Chrysanthemum was taking advantage of this opportunity to expand wildly. Perhaps in the near future, the people of PLANT and the soldiers of Zaft would have to face these crazy people.
"Sister, Big Brother. This is for you! "
Suddenly, a series of footsteps were heard, and a young face with a hint of baby fat appeared in front of them.
She was a little girl in shabby clothes who looked to be between five and six years old.
There were a few fresh flowers in the little girl's hands, which seemed to have been plucked from the surroundings.
"Hello! Is this for us? "
Seeing the little girl walk over with unsteady steps, Lacus immediately squatted down and opened her arms, afraid that the little girl would accidentally fall.
"Hehe! This is for Big Sister, Big Brother! Mommy said that you are the ones driving this … "
The little girl who was supported by Lacus laughed happily. When she passed the flowers in her hands to Lacus, she tilted her head and looked at the white Baku behind Lacus, as if she didn't know what Baku was called.
"Its name is Baku."
Ray Mingkai raised his gaze and looked not far ahead, where a man and woman were standing.
Although their faces were pale, overall, they were slightly better than the other refugees.
When the man and woman saw Ray Mingkai looking at them, they bowed to Ray Mingkai in unison.
They must be the parents who asked the little girl to send flowers to thank them!
"Weiwei. Your parents are still waiting for you! Go back quickly! If you are late, you won't be able to eat a hot dinner! "
At this time, a cold female voice sounded, attracting the attention of Lacus and the little girl.
"It's Sister Astrid!! You are here!!! "
The little girl seemed to recognize the woman standing not far to the left of the white Baku and immediately opened her mouth to shout.
"En. It's me. Weiwei, quickly go back and eat! I still have some things to discuss with this Big Sister and Big Brother! "
What caught Lei Mingkai's attention wasn't the soft blonde hair, but the pair of moon-shaped hair clips in the middle of the blonde hair.
Ray Mingkai had seen something similar to the double moon-shaped hair clip in Lacus's pink hair not long ago, no, it should be said that he had just seen it.
Evidently, Lacus had also noticed the double moon-shaped hair clip in the blonde girl's hair.
"Your name is Weiwei? It's a very nice name. Alright. Go back to your parents, Big Sister still has some things to do! "
Lacus coaxed the little girl away, watched her return to her parents, and then turned to look at the blonde girl standing three meters away.
At this moment, Ray Mingkai and Lacus were sizing her up, and the other party was sizing them up too.
"Thank you very much for your timely support! We have just finished setting up the accommodation point and preparing dinner. Are you interested in coming with me? Consider it as a thank you for your help! "
After a while, the blonde girl took the lead in withdrawing her gaze. After seemingly casually glancing at the white Baku, she extended an invitation to Ray Mingkai and Lacus.
After Ray Mingkai and Lacus looked at each other, Ray Mingkai nodded and gladly accepted the blonde girl's invitation.
However, the blonde girl's gaze seemed to be faintly focused on the white Baku.
For this reason, Ray Mingkai raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The white Baku disappeared in front of the blonde girl.
"Illusion particles?"
The blonde girl let out a small exclamation.
"No. It's not illusion particles. "
Ray Mingkai denied the blonde girl's statement, and then glanced at the refugees who were orderly entering Scandinavia in the distance.
"Oh. I was negligent! "
The blonde girl belatedly realized that she was a little rude.
Then, she adjusted her expression and introduced herself with a serious expression.
"I'm Astrid Sas, the eldest daughter of the Sas family. It's a pleasure to meet you! "
The eldest daughter of the Sas family.
The blonde girl's self-introduction made Lacus's gaze fluctuate, but fortunately, with the holographic image concealment, she did not reveal any flaws.
And Ray Mingkai did not seem to have much fluctuation, but in his mind, he was thinking:
"I've traveled far and wide to find you. I just came to the border of Scandinavia and I already met the Sas family. But, is the person in front of me trustworthy? "
After Astrid introduced herself, she had been observing the expressions of the two.
To Astrid's surprise, she didn't see any of the expressions she expected from Lei Mingkai and Lacus.
This made her a little surprised and puzzled.
While puzzled, Astrid quietly led Ray Mingkai and Lacus to the camp.
As for her plan to hide White Baku from the Earth Alliance Army that might come later, it ended with White Baku activating the ECS system and perfectly disappearing.
Under Astrid's lead, Lei Mingkai and Lacus successfully passed through the crowd, and entered the temporary shelter that had just been set up through a special passageway on the other side.
Along the way, Ray Mingkai and Lacus saw the refugees in tattered clothes under the guidance of the Scandinavian soldiers. Even the refugees who were in a sorry state during the attack were finally able to wash off the mud and change into new clothes.
"That's what we can do for now. Before the new team from the capital takes over, this is all the outpost can do. "
Astrid noticed Lei Mingkai's and Lux's gazes.
"Mhmm. This is good. At least, it's better than the previous situation. "
Ray Mingkai nodded.
"Is that so? But in a place where the flames of war spread, even this is just wishful thinking. "
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Ray Mingkai felt that Astrid seemed to be testing Lacus.
"We've been discovered? Or should I say, the woman called Jörmunggaard? "
As Astrid, Ray Mingkai, and Lacus entered the deepest part of the outpost, far away from the refugees' office, the surrounding people immediately retreated ten meters away, their backs facing the room, and were alert of the surrounding situation.
"Kai. Attention! That woman is strange. "
The White Cat's warning rang in Ray Mingkai's mind.
But Ray Mingkai did not take it to heart.
Because the other party did not have any malicious intent.
After sending everyone ten meters away from the room, Astrid raised her hand and removed the double-moon-shaped hairpin from her hair and placed it in front of Lacus. Then, she retreated to the corner of the room and waited for Lacus to continue.
Is this a test?
Ray Mingkai glanced at the double-moon-shaped hairpin, then looked at Lacus again, but found that Lacus was silent.
Hesitation, perhaps due to Lacus's current mood.
Whether or not the other party saw through her disguise, what was placed in front of Lacus now was a multiple-choice question.
Slowly, Lacus raised her gaze and met Ray Mingkai's eyes.
Her gaze was questioning, but it was also filled with determination.
Seeing this, Ray Mingkai nodded slowly and let Lacus make the decision.
Then, Lacus took the double-moon-shaped hairpin in her hand and gently stroked it.
Seeing Lacus pick up the double-moon-shaped hairpin, Astrid did not say anything, nor did she stop her. It was as if she was an unimportant bystander, watching Lacus's next move closely.
Even when Lacus looked into her eyes, her gaze remained calm and unchanging.
Lacus's fingers nimbly moved around the double-moon-shaped hairpin.
In just an instant, with a soft sound, the double-moon-shaped hairpin in Lacus's hand suddenly bounced to the left and right. After half a circle, it turned into a circle, a perfect circle.
Ray Mingkai, who was standing beside Lacus, clearly saw that there seemed to be a faint python carved on the round surface when the double-moon-shaped hairpin turned into a circle.
Under the light in the room, Ray Mingkai had the illusion that the python was moving.
"Circling the Midgardian Ring! This was something that only Klein could do. As expected, it's you! The sister that we have never met, Lacus Klein. "
When Lacus turned the double-moon-shaped hairpin into a circle, Astrid, who had been treating herself as a bystander, finally voiced out her intentions.
But for some reason, Ray Mingkai vaguely sensed that Astrid had heaved a sigh of relief after Lacus passed the test.
"Astrid Sass. Is this enough? "
Lacus put the circle hairpin on the table and asked Astrid.
Astrid smiled and pointed at the side of her face.
"No. There's still one more thing to do! Please remove your disguise. This place is already safe! Our sister. "
After saying that, Astrid looked at Ray Mingkai.
"Please don't be nervous! The princess's Knight Protector. This place is already safe! Otherwise, you wouldn't have come all the way here, right? "
Ray Mingkai secretly communicated with the White Cat, State Zero. After confirming that there were no hostile targets around, he nodded at Lacus.
After receiving Ray Mingkai's confirmation, Lacus slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
She knew that her choice just now was not wrong.
Then, it was time for both sides to show their trump cards.
"In the name of Visser, be liberated!"
A stream of light flashed and pink hair flew. Lacus Klein's face appeared in front of Astrid's surprised expression.
"This … Jormunggaard really didn't lie to me! Lacus Klein, is your disguise really that realistic?! "
As soon as Jormunggaard's name appeared, the atmosphere in the room seemed to lighten up.
Or rather, both sides found a common ground that allowed them to adapt to each other.
"No. This is something that Kai lent me. "
Lacus raised her hand and gently touched the pendant in front of her heart and said with a smile.
"Is that so? It seems that our princess has found a reliable Knight Protector. "
Astrid looked at Ray Mingkai with a faint smile. Before Ray Mingkai and Lacus could react, she suddenly revealed a piece of news with a serious expression.
"Although it's a little late, there's something that Lacus Klein needs to confirm personally."
"Please speak!"
"According to the investigation results after confirming the existence of Lacus Klein's real body around the Circle of Midgard, it seems that there is a mysterious force supporting the actions of the fake. Now, we have confirmed that members of this mysterious force are lurking in a small island in the South Pacific. "
With that said, Astrid Sas looked at Lacus and bowed.
"Please give the order! According to our family's covenant, when Klein's children appear in Scandinavia, Scandinavia will obey Klein's orders. "
