The long-awaited trip to the universe finally began.
Under Olga's arrangement, the partners assigned to the mission boarded the shuttle to the universe.
"We are finally leaving. Miss. "
Fumitan, who was sitting on the left side of the first-class cabin, looked at Gudelia across the aisle.
Gudelia nodded slightly.
But her emotions didn't seem to be too early.
It seemed like she was affected by the encounter on the farm a few days ago.
Fumitan's eyes flickered a few times, but she didn't say anything.
She knew that even if she spoke, the girl who was regarded as the hope of the Martian people wouldn't be able to walk out of the trap in a short period of time.
This was because Fumitan was nothing more than a maid from start to finish.
Compared to the master and maid who had their own thoughts, Olga, who was sitting in the front, was a bit nervous.
The mole was confirmed to be Todo Milconnen.
Moreover, after getting information about Orcus from the mole, Olga made a series of arrangements for the mole.
But even so, Olga was still not confident.
Orcus wasn't a threat to the new Ironflower Regiment.
The real threat to the Ironflower Regiment was the mountain behind the Orcus Chamber of Commerce – Olga Lars Horn's Mars branch.
While there was still some time before the launch of the shuttle, Olga reexamined his plan in his mind, trying to find the slightest flaw in it.
While thinking, Olga couldn't help but look at the two empty seats in front of her.
Those were Ray Mingkai and Lacus' seats.
According to the arrangement, Lei Mingkai and Lacus were on the list of people who would be taking the shuttle into space.
But on the eve of departure, Ray Mingkai changed his mind.
He rejected the plan to take the shuttle to space with the Ironflower Regiment and head to the ark to transfer to the assault transport ship under the Ironflower Regiment's name – Fishing Fire.
Olga tried to persuade Ray Mingkai, but was rejected again by the resolute Ray Mingkai.
Especially when Olga stated that on Mars, they could only successfully enter space with the shuttle. Ray Mingkai's attitude was still firm, and there was even a hint of unquestionable.
This gave Olga a headache, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, Ray Mingkai was not only the client, but also the investor of the Tiehua Group.
If it wasn't for Ray Mingkai's timely investment, the Ironflower Regiment probably wouldn't even be able to board the shuttle.
"Olga, are you thinking about your excellency?"
Eugene, who was sitting behind Olga, poked his head out and looked at the pondering commander.
"Yes. Yes, there were some. May I know how Sir Ray Mingkai will meet us? "
This question obviously couldn't be answered in a short time.
That was because the shuttle had been launched.
The burden of the instantaneous acceleration caused everyone in the Ironflower Regiment to shut their mouths. They focused on resisting the strong overload caused by the shuttle breaking free from gravity.
It wasn't until the shuttle crossed the sky, broke through the shackles of gravity, and successfully entered space that everyone slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Strangely, when the shuttle broke free from gravity, Gudelia, who endured the burden of the overload, actually felt a sense of relief after the shuttle successfully entered space.
It was as if the problem that had been bothering her for several days had disappeared without a trace. All that was left was the boundless feeling of facing the boundless space.
"Next, we just need to enter the low orbit terminal and wait for the pilot ship?"
Fumitan, who was gradually in a better mood, asked Biscat, who was sitting in front of him.
"Mhmm, yes."
But just as Biscat responded, Olga, who was sitting in front of him, stood up.
"No! Before that, we need to solve some problems! Orcus' ship appeared ahead of time. "
"What?"
Except for Eugene, the rest of the teenagers followed Olga's gaze and looked out of the porthole.
On the right side of the shuttle, a dark green armed transport ship was sailing at a constant speed.
"That's Orcus' ship? It's so early! "
The teenagers were amazed by the client's early arrival.
But Olga sighed slightly.
"Everything is just as Your Excellency speculated! Biscat, go inform the three suns and moons to prepare for attack! Eugene, follow me to the cockpit! We need to speed up the shuttle! "
"Ah! Yes! "
Biscat had to go to the farm to help, so he missed the opportunity to interrogate Todo Milkonnan, so he was a bit confused by Olga's order.
But he didn't hesitate at all.
In his surprise, Biscat clearly saw three light spots appear behind Orcus' ship and accelerate toward them.
Without a doubt.
The three light spots were the light emitted by the MS thrusters.
"Let's go! Eugene! We can't stop here! "
— — —
The wind blew.
Since the early morning, the wind that lingered around the Ironflower Regiment's base gradually became clamorous.
Ironflower Regiment's financial accountant, Dexter Kurast, led the remaining teenagers in the Ironflower Regiment's base and stood at the gate. They quietly looked at the body standing on the wasteland — Free Gao Da.
"It's about time! Commander and the others should have entered space. "
Dexter looked at the time and muttered to himself.
When Ray Mingkai refused to take the shuttle into space, Dexter was also there.
Like Olga, he couldn't understand and didn't know why Ray Mingkai refused to take the only shuttle on Mars that could enter space.
But Dexter knew that he was lucky enough to witness the reason why Ray Mingkai refused to take the shuttle into space before Olga did.
"Dexter. Did the boss meet up with the commander? "
The youths standing beside Dexter looked at him curiously.
They all knew that Free Gao Da could fly.
But the teenagers also knew that no matter how fast the MS flew, it couldn't smoothly escape the shackles of gravity without the help of external conditions.
Dexter nodded silently in the face of their questions, but he couldn't say anything that could resolve the doubts in their hearts.
One had to know that he was also puzzled in his heart.
Under the confused gazes of the youths and Dexter, the Freedom Gundam towering over the wastelands was in the final stages of its preparations before departure.
"The energy system is operating normally, the connection is normal!"
"The neural response system is normal, the concentration is within the normal deviation value!"
Lacus looked at the data displayed on the screen in front of her attentively, and reported the various values that Free Gao Da currently possessed.
As for Ray Mingkai, he placed both hands on the control stick and waited for the final moment to arrive.
"It's about time."
As State Zero's voice sounded, a shadow appeared behind Free Gao Da, accompanied by a strong wind that swept across the wasteland.
It was a beast with faintly discernible edges, and its body was so huge that it could almost be compared to Free Gao Da.
However, Dexter and the others couldn't see the appearance of this ferocious beast clearly in the wind that was gradually becoming more intense. They could only vaguely sense that something had appeared behind the Freedom Gundam.
"My preparations here are complete."
As the shadow of the beast completely appeared behind Free Gao Da, State Zero raised his head and looked at the sky.
"It's starting over there too. Kai, it's time for us to set off! "
"Okay!"
Ray Mingkai nodded.
"So, Lacus, are you ready?"
Lacus, who was monitoring the various data of Free Gao Da, smiled sweetly, then relaxed her body and leaned into Ray Mingkai's embrace.
"Okay. I'm ready! "
Her pink hair gently brushed against Ray Mingkai's nose.
Lacus's laughter sounded clearly.
"The process of breaking through gravity alone, I believe it will be a very good experience!"
Ray Mingkai laughed loudly.
"Maybe! Then, let's begin! State Zero! "
"Understood!"
The sound of the wind suddenly became very noisy.
In the strong winds that stirred up gusts of sand, Dexter and the others caught a glimpse of the Freedom Gundam breaking through the sandstorm and flying high into the sky through the gaps between their arms that were blocking the sandstorm. They also heard sounds coming from the sky.
"Dexter, and everyone from the Ironflower Regiment, for safety's sake, retreat a little further!"
Ray Mingkai's voice was mixed in the sound of the wind, but it was clearly transmitted to the ears of Dexter and the others.
Without hesitation, Dexter immediately pulled the teenagers and retreated into the facility of the base.
"Okay! The audience has gone far away! "
State Zero urged repeatedly, as if he couldn't wait for the battle that was happening in the void above them.
"Radiant Bearer, activate!"
This was the second time Free Gao Da fully activated the Radiant Bearer after obtaining it.
The first time it was activated was when he resisted the attack of Genesis.
And now, Ray Mingkai was trying to rely on the unparalleled acceleration of the Radiant Bearer to break through the gravity of Mars and break through the gravity well alone.
With the activation of the Radiant Bearer, Free Gao Da's steel wings fell off one by one, and under some kind of power, they gathered into a huge ring behind Free Gao Da's back.
The moment the ring appeared, lines of patterns that were distributed according to a certain pattern suddenly appeared on the surface of the ring. Even with the appearance of these patterns, similar patterns began to appear on Free Gao Da's back, but with some subtle differences.
"Radiant Bearer, activation is complete! State Zero, it's up to you! "
The moment the ring was fully activated, Ray Mingkai's voice was transmitted to State Zero's ears.
Then, a thunderous roar resounded above the wasteland that was engulfed by the strong wind.
"Roar!!"
The moment the roar shook the sky, the wind and sand were torn apart by a light pillar that was filled with electric sparks that shot straight to the sky.
"Boom!!"
The target of this light pillar was not the sky above the head, but Free Gao Da who had fully activated the Radiant Bearer.
The moment the terrifying light pillar that was burning the wind and sand touched the Radiant Bearer, a dazzling radiance that was even more dazzling than the light pillar, like the arrival of a star, wantonly bloomed its own brilliance above the Martian sky.
"Boom!"
The arrival of a star.
Thunder rolled.
In the torn wind and sand, there were flashes of lightning that were bouncing endlessly, as if it was sending blessings to Free Gao Da who had broken through the gravity well.
Attracted by the thunderous roar, the people who rushed out of the bunker could only stare blankly at the dazzling radiance, the star that broke through the blue sky at an unimaginable speed and disappeared from their sight.
In the Martian space, in low orbit.
A chase was unfolding fiercely.
Under the influence of Lei Mingkai, Olga, who knew in advance that Orcus would betray them, made first-hand preparations. Without hesitation, when she discovered Galalhorn's MS, she immediately ordered the three suns and moons to attack. She also accelerated the shuttle out of low orbit and flew directly to the coordinates where she would rendezvous with Fishing Fire.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The smoothbore cannon in Babatos' hand continued to fire shells, trying to attract Lars Horn's MS that was chasing the shuttle.
"It feels easy to aim. Their movements are not as fast as Free Gao Da's at all! "
Looking at the accelerating MS in front of her, Triri-Moon murmured calmly.
Perhaps for other militia organizations, Lars Horn's MS and pilots were at least second-rate or above.
However, after being personally trained by Lei Mingkai (pressing them to the ground), when faced with the siege of five Glazes from the Galalhorn branch, Three Suns and Moons did not feel the slightest pressure. They seemed to be at ease.
Among the five Glazers, there was naturally a Commander Glazer personally piloted by Connor Conrad, the head of the Mars branch.
With all kinds of calculations in his mind, he would not let go of this great opportunity to keep Gudelia around Mars.
If it were not for the fact that Babatos' long-range attacks were really difficult to deal with, Conrad would have already chased the shuttle.
"Dammit! What is going on with this body? Is this the body that killed Crank? "
The conspicuous small horn on the Commander Glazer's head made Triri-Moon pay special attention to its existence.
As a result, most of Barbatos' attacks were focused on it, much to Connor's annoyance.
In desperation, Conrad could only take a step back and command his subordinates to besiege Babatos.
"Ain! Hurry up and attack! This may be the murderer that killed Lieutenant Crank! "
With this order, the attacks of the Glazers besieging Babatos became even more ferocious, and they practically sealed off all of Babatos' paths of retreat. It was as if they wouldn't stop until one of them died.
"Tsk! Are they coming? "
Three Suns and Moon frowned slightly. She subconsciously glanced at the radar and found that the shuttle had almost run out of the maximum range of the radar. However, behind the shuttle, the armed transport ship of the Orcus Chamber of Commerce was still hot on their tail.
"What do we do? Olga. "
In front of her was the Glazer troops that surrounded her and Babatos, and in the distance was the armed transport ship that was chasing after the shuttle.
This was the predicament that the Ironflower Regiment was currently facing!
Under the firepower net woven by the Glazers, a ray of light quietly appeared and went straight to the armed transport ship that was chasing after the shuttle.
At this moment, whether it was the Glazers or Babatos, their radars all sent out a shrill alarm that a super-high-speed object had appeared!
This was a ray of light that appeared above the Mars atmosphere without warning.
It was also a ray of light that caught everyone off guard, but it caught up with the Orcus armed transport ship in the blink of an eye.
It was a ray of light that caused the Orcus armed transport ship to be directly smashed in half and exploded!
