(There will be a second chapter after midnight. Friends who can't wait can read it tomorrow. Speaking of which, this holiday is still very tiring.)
On the bridge of Archangel, Mary and Bakirulu were a little depressed because they had no choice but to abandon their comrades. However, a text message from Menellao made Mary and Bakirulu stand up in an instant. At the same time, they showed an expression of disbelief and surprise.
"Rebellion!?" Mary slapped the armrest hard and shouted in a panic, "Contact Menellao immediately. I want to talk to General Halbarton directly!"
After trying to contact Menellao, the intelligence controller Dalida, the curly-haired man with glasses on the bridge, also answered loudly with an anxious expression, "There is no way to contact Menellao. They have unilaterally cut off all communication with Archangel."
After hearing Dalida's answer, Mary was already a little confused, "Turn the rudder 180 degrees to Menellao. We will go to Menellao to support them!"
Mary's order stunned everyone on the bridge, especially the helmsman, who looked at Mary with a stunned expression.
"Damn it!" Bakirulu clenched her fists tightly and turned to look at Mary, "Captain, calm down. There is no use for us to stay here! We will only be a burden to the entire Eighth Fleet. You must not turn the rudder at this time and let down the lives of those who sacrificed themselves! "
"But General Halbarton …" Mary lowered her head and said softly with a trembling voice, "Are we just going to pretend that we didn't see anything and run away?"
Bakirulu gritted her teeth and walked up to Mary, softening her voice. "This isn't running away. Our departure is also to save them. Only when we leave Zaft will they stop attacking, and General Halbarton will have the opportunity to mobilize troops to suppress the rebels."
It was not that Mary did not understand the current situation, but she could not accept the fact that she had to face the attack of her own people while fighting the enemy. It was too much for her to accept. After a long silence, Mary looked up at the huge battleship that had slowly moved behind Archangel on the big screen. She took a deep breath and said, "Leave the battle area at the fastest speed. Begin to calculate the landing trajectory. Gnacou, complete all the fixed tasks as soon as possible. Inform everyone to prepare for landing on Earth."
Everyone in the bridge said in unison, "Yes."
Miriya, who was sitting in the CIC seat, also sent the same message to Xiao Ran and Kira at the same time.
"There is a rebellion on Menelaus. The military police and landing force are completely unable to resist. The rebels are moving towards the bridge. The ship has decided to block all attacks on Archangel before the rebels reach the bridge. Archangel, please speed up and leave the battle area immediately to Earth."
"Prepare to land on Earth immediately. Assault Gundam must not be too far from the ship. Lightning Zeon, prepare to return at any time."
After Xiao Ran, who was piloting the Lightning Zeon, destroyed a Zeon that was rushing towards Menelaus, he also saw the message sent by Miriya. After reading the message, Xiao Ran just sighed and shook his head, but he was not surprised at all.
It seemed that as long as one was in the battle area, they would receive the same faction mission. So, not only did the four participants on Menelaus receive the mission prompt, even Xiao Ran received the same mission.
But so far, although Xiao Ran directly rejected the first mission, he was hesitant about the second mission because he knew that the Eighth Fleet would be completely wiped out here. Moreover, they were facing more Zaft than in the original storyline, so there was no doubt that they would be wiped out. Because the commander was Cruzet, Cruzet, who was trying to start a bigger war, would not let go of such a good opportunity to let Zaft attract hatred again. It was not Cruzet's style to not completely wipe out the Eighth Fleet, so he rejected the first mission without hesitation.
But on the second mission, Xiao Ran's hesitation was not without reason. After receiving Miriya's message, he understood what was going on on Menelaus. The four participants who were supposed to be monitoring should have received the same mission. In order to obtain information about the C-class body, they planned to subdue Halbarton and take him away directly. That was why they went all the way to the bridge. Originally, Xiao Ran was still hesitating whether to reject the mission, but after seeing Miriya's message, which stated that the military police and the landing party were no match for the Eighth Fleet, Xiao Ran also had the thought of accepting the mission and reaping the benefits of the fisherman.
In Xiao Ran's mind, he felt that the four participants might really be able to take Halbarton out of the ship and escape from this area. After all, from the previous two encounters with the other participants, other than Xiao Ran, the other participants seemed to have strange abilities. They could tell at a glance who was a Tweak, who was an ordinary young participant, and who was a bald participant that even bullets could not penetrate. So, Xiao Ran believed that the participants on Menelaus might have other abilities to ensure that they could complete the mission. Otherwise, they would not have done such a thing.
Although the mission did not mention any punishment for failure, Xiao Ran did not believe that there would be no punishment if he failed the mission. But after some thought, Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and accepted the second faction side mission, Protect Halbarton. Compared to the unknown punishment for failure, the reward of the mission was much more tempting.
Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at Menelaus, which was slowly blocking the enemy's path of pursuit and attack. At the same time, it also prevented him from continuing to shoot at the center of the chaotic battle. Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "Faction side mission two accepted!"
"Faction side mission accepted. Protect Halbarton, the wise general. Ensure Halbarton's safety before the end of the battle. Mission completion will reward C-class body construction information. Mission failure will result in expulsion from the Earth Army and pursuit by the Earth Army and Zaft Faction."
"Shh." Xiao Ran whistled softly and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He did not expect that the punishment for failing the mission would be expulsion from the Earth Army and pursuit by both factions. This was not a big deal for Xiao Ran, because his ultimate goal was not the Archangel, but Aube or the Three Spaceship Alliance. When he joined Aube or the Three Spaceship Alliance, he would be pursued by both factions anyway. This kind of punishment was not painful at all.
After accepting the mission, Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the Assault Gundam that was fighting the Storm Gundam. With a push and pull of the control stick, the Lightning Djinn raised its arm and fired a shot in the direction of the Storm Gundam. Then, a series of red beams faster than before streaked towards the Storm Gundam one after another.
"Is this guy crazy?" Diego sat in the cockpit and kept operating the Storm Gundam to dodge the Lightning Djinn's attacks. He found that the Lightning Djinn's shooting frequency was a third faster than before. Just dodging these attacks made him too busy to care about anything else. He could not care less about supporting the Duel Gundam in the distance.
Due to the series of non-stop high-frequency shots, the pulse cannon in the steel hand gradually heated up due to the lack of heat dissipation. Slowly, even the muzzle of the gun turned red. However, Xiao Ran did not stop shooting just because the muzzle turned red. After firing a dozen more shots, he finally released the trigger under the alarm in the cockpit. At this time, the Storm Gundam also dodged far away because of the Lightning Djinn's attack.
Looking at the distant Storm Gundam on the screen, entangled with each other, or fighting with beam swords, or shooting at each other, Xiao Ran directly pressed the communication button. "Call the Archangel. I can no longer attack. Lightning Djinn requests to return."
"Lightning Djinn allows return. Please return from the first ejection port."
"Roger that." After hanging up the communication, Xiao Ran operated the Lightning Djinn to unplug the power source connected to the pulse cannon. With a kick of his legs, the ejector behind him started up and quickly flew away from the Archangel. After a long distance in front of the Archangel, it turned in an arc and flew towards the Archangel's opened ejection port. The moment it flew into the ejection port, the Lightning Djinn also turned around. All the deceleration jets on its body continuously sprayed out. Finally, it hit the Archangel's internal resistance belt and stopped.
As soon as he got off the Lightning Djinn, a light wave rang out from the Archangel. "The Archangel is about to enter the Earth's gravitational field. Please prepare to descend immediately after the work is done. Gnacou's containment of Djinn must be completed within three minutes. The descent process will begin in five minutes."
When Xiao Ran left Lightning Djinn's place, he saw a group of workers in yellow uniforms jumping out from all over the place. He could even hear Markdo's hoarse voice shouting, "Quick! Everyone, hurry up and fix Djinn! "
