"Welcome back to our victorious hero!"
Leading the crowd, Dilandar personally welcomed the return of the Holy Lion Knight in the hall where the original Evidence 01 was placed.
"Speaker! Thank you for your help! "
The Saint Lion Knight stood still and saluted. It was done in one go, and it carried a sonorous and iron-blooded demeanor.
"It seems that our hero's demeanor is even better than before!"
Dilandar nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, he also signaled that the commissioner who led the Holy Lion Knight could leave. He stepped forward and patted the Holy Lion Knight on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work! Kai. "
"This is what I should do! There is no hard work. Speaker! In order to protect the people of PLANT, I should go through fire and water! "
The Holy Lion Knight said in a methodical manner.
Listening to the communication between the speaker and the Holy Lion Knight, the people around couldn't help but nod secretly.
Just as PLANT and Zaft jointly advertised, the man who was promoted to the position of hero by the speaker was indeed qualified to hold the title of Knight.
"Haha. Okay! Let's not be polite here. "
Dilandar smiled and didn't continue the topic of small talk.
He gestured slightly to the crowd behind him, and several people in the crowd left.
"I wanted to have a good talk with Kai, but just now, I happened to receive good news. Therefore, I hope Kai can come with me. "
"Yes! It's my honor! Speaker. "
Of course.
The crowd outside the Supreme Council hadn't dispersed yet.
Therefore, in this situation that was considered risky by security, Dilandar naturally couldn't leave from the front. Instead, he chose to leave from the underground exit on the other side of the Supreme Council.
When the world outside the window changed from the gloomy underground garage to a bright city, Dilandar adjusted his sitting posture slightly and turned his head to look at the world outside the car.
His gaze gradually focused on the huge orbital elevator standing in the middle of the city.
Clouds lingered around it, making the orbital elevator, which was related to the operating artery of the entire satellite city, hazy and abnormal.
The brilliance emitted by the elevators that rose and fell along the tracks seemed to come alive in this hazy cloud. It was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, like a small fish that stirred up ripples on the surface of the water.
According to the weather schedule of April City, soon, this satellite city would usher in a hazy drizzle.
"Kai. Now the security situation around PLANT has been stabilized. In the colonial satellites far away, some civilians have also sent requests, hoping to migrate to PLANT, or Zaft will send a fleet to support them. This is all thanks to you and the First Fleet you led. Therefore, the Supreme Council has made a decision to evaluate and reward your contributions. "
Dilandar withdrew his gaze from the clouds that gradually became thicker and looked at the Holy Lion Knight sitting opposite him.
"I'm ashamed. This is not something I can't do alone. If possible, I hope the Supreme Council will pay more attention to the many soldiers who sacrificed to protect PLANT. "
With his hands on his thighs and his back straight, the Holy Lion Knight didn't care about his own contributions. He only cared about the arrangements of his comrades who died in battle.
"Speaker."
Dilandar nodded slightly and looked at the mask in front of him.
"Speak! Kai, in the hearts of the citizens of PLANT, you are the guardian of PLANT. Therefore, your voice and your words are the voice that our Supreme Council must listen to. "
The Holy Lion Knight didn't immediately respond to Dilandar's words that were almost a promise. Instead, like what Dilandar did just now, he looked back at the world outside the window and the city that was constantly flying by outside the window.
"On the way back, I heard some rumors."
"Mhmm."
Dilandar put his hands together and put them on his abdomen as if he was listening.
"Now PLANT is implementing a material rationing system that prioritizes the supply of combatants and their family members."
The Holy Lion Knight paused, retracted his gaze, and looked at Dilandar.
"Yes. Because of this, PLANT was able to complete the adjustment of Zaft's combat force in the shortest time possible and take the lead in eliminating threats to the surrounding universes. Of course. This is also inseparable from the bloody battle of Zaft's soldiers. "
Dilandar admitted this point straightforwardly.
"Indeed. But I found that in the First Fleet and the allied fleets that once assisted the First Fleet, there were some rumors that they refused to continue to provide supplies to their families on the grounds of the death of their soldiers. I wonder if the speaker has heard of such rumors? "
"Oh?!"
The eyes hidden by the mask keenly captured Dilandar's surprise.
A look of surprise flashed across Dilandar's face.
"Is there such a thing? Kai, wait for a moment. "
With that said, Dilandar raised his hand and pressed a button on his side.
Then, an unfamiliar and calm voice sounded.
"Speaker. What are your orders? "
"You should have heard what the Knight said. Investigate it as quickly as possible. PLANT and Zaft will not allow the bullying of heroes to exist. In addition, urgently allocate a batch of supplies and distribute them to the families according to the First Fleet's casualty list. Well, you will personally supervise it! "
"Yes!"
Before Dilandar, who disconnected the communication, could speak and promise to thoroughly investigate the incident, the Holy Lion Knight spoke first.
"Speaker. Thank you very much! "
"No. This is what I should do. While you are fighting bloody battles on the front line, my duty is to stabilize the rear and provide an environment where you have no worries. "
With that said, Dilandar sighed.
"But this time, it is my negligence. Kai, if possible, I hope you can personally apologize to the families of the heroes who were treated improperly after the incident is investigated. "
"Yes! I will personally accompany the speaker. "
After that, there was nothing else to say.
Although Dilandar still had a lot to say and wanted to talk to the Holy Lion Knight in front of him, under this small episode, Dilandar knew that this was not the best time.
What's more, this small episode was not a bad thing.
When the hazy drizzle fell and wet the road to the factory area near the April City Space Port, Dilandar and the Holy Lion Knight came to a Gnacou located deep in the factory area.
The sense of weightlessness brought about by the microgravity environment made the body subconsciously miss the heaviness of the gravity environment. Dilandar's brows could not help but frown. It seemed that he could not immediately adapt to the discomfort brought about by the microgravity environment.
"It seems that after getting used to the gravity environment, you will feel uncomfortable with the microgravity environment."
Dilandar laughed at himself and raised his hand to signal the two Zaft soldiers guarding the large gate in front of him to open the gate.
"Come here! Kai. There are some things I need to show you. "
Behind the gate, other than Dilandar's figure, it was pitch black.
But this darkness made the Holy Lion Knight feel a sense of familiarity.
Yes!
It was a sense of familiarity that came from the depths of his memory.
"Ugh!"
In an instant, a stabbing pain appeared from the depths of his mind. It was as if thunder from the ninth heaven had split open the fog.
The moment the fog dispersed, a dazzling light also expelled the darkness behind Dilandar, revealing the truth behind the darkness.
A dark grey steel body.
Even in a folded state, it still looked like a pair of huge steel wings.
This figure was unforgettable at first sight. The Holy Lion Knight called out its name.
"Free, Free Gao Da!?"
That's right!
This was the legendary mech that became famous in the battle against Yakin Duwei. At the same time, it was also the mech that completely blocked the attack of the Genesis – Free Gao Da!
"Speaker, I remember that the Free Gao Da was destroyed under the attack of the Genesis. Isn't that right? "
As the "person involved", the Holy Lion Knight was very puzzled.
"Yes. This is not the Free Gao Da that appeared in the battle against Yakin Duwei. It was an accidental discovery by Zaft's technical department when they were cleaning up the past documents. "
Dilandar smiled and his eyes seemed to reveal a trace of pride.
"Of course. What was discovered at that time was only part of the design. In order to fully recover this group of incomplete design drawings, our technical department has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in order to succeed. Now that the First Fleet has returned victorious, we've finally been able to reappear this MS that is like the patron saint of mankind. "
Under the gaze of the Holy Lion Knight, Dilandar stretched out his finger and pointed at the dark grey steel giant.
"Knight. "Although your existence and your reputation have allowed PLANT to survive the crisis, it's still not enough. But no matter how powerful your ability is, you are still only a human. "
Dilandar's gaze moved away from the steel giant and fell on the mask of the Holy Lion Knight.
"No matter how powerful a Knight is, he always needs a sharp sword, a sharp sword that can kill any strong enemy!"
"And it is the latest crystallization of PLANT and the cutting-edge technology in Zaft's hands. It is also the sharp sword that our highest council has entrusted to you!"
"Sharp sword? Free Gao Da? "
The Holy Lion Knight was silent for a moment, then looked up again and met Dilandar's gaze.
"Speaker. This is no longer the Free Gao Da of the battle against Yakin Duwei. If this is the expectation of the highest council, then I am more willing to call it the Guardian of Freedom. Guardian of PLANT, guardian of the freedom of all citizens, Gao Da! "
"Oh?"
Dilandar was a little surprised, but he smiled slightly.
"Is that so? Guardian of freedom? Perhaps, this is a very good name, and at the same time, a good name that matches it! "
After a pause, Dilandar expressed again.
"This airframe is assigned to you. The naming is naturally up to you. Kay. "
