After sending off Xiao Ran and the other two, Andrew looked up at the sun that was still hanging in the sky. The dazzling light made him squint his eyes. "The berserker and his guardian? What will it be like when they meet on the battlefield? Heh, be careful of Aube and the people from PLANT. What do you mean, guardian? "
Just as Andrew was thinking about the meaning of Xiao Ran's last sentence, Xiao Ran, who was sitting in the car, closed his eyes and thought, "The reinforcements are actually ahead of schedule, and they are not from Earth's Zaft military base. Eight backup pilots and eight MS-class fighters, and this is not counting the two Gundams that are coming from Zaft's base. What is going on? If we count the reinforcements from Zaft's base, and Andrew's current forces, we have at least 15 mechs. With just the Gundams and the two Sky Overlords, it is impossible for the Archangel to break out of here. This is not the universe, so how can there be so many escape routes? "
"The inexplicable reinforcements are also very strange. They actually came directly from PLANT. Although we were prepared for this, we did not expect the participants to gradually join the plot so quickly. Now that the Earth Army and Zaft have not engaged in a large-scale battle, it is not surprising that Zaft would send more troops for the sake of the Archangel and the Gundams, which have so far displayed greater combat power than in the original plot."
"The number of soldiers in PLANT is so small compared to the Earth Army that there is no comparison at all. If the truly outstanding people are in Zaft, the chances of them standing out are very high, not to mention those participants with special abilities. It is very simple for Zaft to investigate the true identity of those people. Without coming into contact with the people themselves, all the participants' identities are impeccable. In other words, Zaft will definitely be quite confident in using the participants in non-confidential missions."
"Perhaps in Zaft's current mission objectives, there is a lack of qualified personnel who urgently need to be replaced by outstanding personnel, and it is also a non-confidential mission. Until now, only the Archangel has met these conditions. In other words … the participants who join Zaft will have an easier time coming into contact with the main plot than the participants of the Earth Army. Is this the advantage of joining Zaft's faction? "
"As for the Earth Army, although there are many soldiers so far, the disadvantage of their outdated weapons cannot be ignored. Once the battle starts, the possibility of victory is not high. Therefore, the participants who join the Earth Army also have the same advantage, and that is the hidden evaluation reward of the main mission. The Earth Army is not stingy with their talents in the field of MS pilots. Presumably, most of the participants who have joined the Earth Army now should have obtained higher military ranks. The system's rewards can't be faked. It is something that can really strengthen one's own strength. However, because the Earth Army has too many battlefronts and has abandoned the Archangel, the opportunity to come into contact with the main mission will be more difficult.
Xiao Ran's closed eyes suddenly opened and sighed. "No, no, what I should be thinking about now is how to get the Archangel out of here safely. Sigh, this is really troublesome. I don't know if it's God's arrangement or luck, but Law appeared here in advance. Could it be that the key to the Archangel's escape this time is Law and his recycling house team?" Xiao Ran sighed and said in her heart.
"It seems that asking Law to enhance the Assault Gundam before was the right thing to do." Xiao Ran shook his head with a distressed expression. "But I have to pilot the Air Overlord to fight. This is asking for my life. I have to think of a way."
The people arranged by Andrew left after sending Xiao Ran and the other two to the city. Xiao Ran could not let go of the things he had just heard in Andrew's reception room. He could already be sure that among the eight replacement pilots, there were definitely participants. Even if the number was not large, as long as one or two people would bring great trouble to the Archangel and himself.
So, as soon as they arrived in the city, they took a detour and returned directly to the place where they parked their car. Kajali wanted to question Xiao Ran several times on the way. He actually agreed to Tiger's invitation and talked so happily with him. He even hugged her like a good brother before leaving.
But Kira, who had been in contact with Xiao Ran for a long time and knew a lot about Xiao Ran, saw Xiao Ran's thoughtful expression. Even if he wanted to ask questions, he kept them all in his heart. He even stopped Kajali several times to avoid interrupting Xiao Ran's thinking. They returned to the Archangel in silence.
As soon as the car was parked, Xiao Ran looked around and did not find the person he was looking for. He jumped out of the car and left Kira and Kajali behind without saying a word. He hurried to the bridge. When Xiao Ran arrived at the bridge, he did not find the second person he was looking for, Mary. After patting his head, he suddenly realized that Mary would not stay in the bridge at this time. He wasted a few minutes and finally found her in the captain's room.
The first thing Xiao Ran said when he saw Mary made Mary frown, "Zafka has new reinforcements. There are quite a lot of them, eight MS."
"How did you know!?" Mary asked with a frown.
Xiao Ran did not hide anything and said directly, "We met Tiger today. Something happened and he invited us to be his guest. I heard it at that time."
"Is the situation urgent?" Mary looked at Xiao Ran's serious expression and could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "It's rare to see you speak so directly."
Mary noticed Xiao Ran's nervousness and anxiety. When she heard that Xiao Ran actually went to Tiger's place as a guest, she was worried and surprised, but she did not ask what happened. Instead, she used her own way to calm Xiao Ran down and relax.
"You can still laugh at this time?" Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and was a little speechless.
"Do I have to be sad and nervous?" Mary looked at Xiao Ran and shook her head gently, saying, "Even if I do that, it's useless. It can't solve the current problem at all."
Xiao Ran pursed his lips. He could not tell Mary that she did not understand. If there were no participants, Xiao Ran would not be so serious and would not rush to report the situation to Mary. Just like in the universe, although Xiao Ran was so shocked that he almost did something stupid, he was much better now. At least, he was much calmer. However, even if he was calm, the nervousness and anxiety in his heart could not be avoided. Xiao Ran was not so confident when facing participants. There were too many skills that participants could awaken.
"In short, we have to be prepared. This battle may be more difficult than before. If we're not careful, we will be in danger of being sunk." Xiao Ran patted Mary's shoulder. He also felt that he had affected the others too much, so he put on a smile on his face again. "Of course, I will also be prepared. I won't let anything happen to the Archangel."
Mary looked at Xiao Ran in a daze. She had never seen Xiao Ran force a smile like this before. After seeing this smile, she seemed to feel that the situation might be more serious than she imagined. "I know. I will let the others be prepared."
Xiao Ran soon left. The Archangel was about to face a large number of enemies, and even participants who were very likely to appear. It was impossible to resist with its current combat power alone. If he wanted to obtain new combat power, there was only one person who could help him at present — Law Jul.
It was strange to say that Law was not there when he came back, but when Xiao Ran came to Gnacou, he saw Law and a large group of people fiddling with the Assault Gundam. When he saw Law, Xiao Ran quickly trotted over. "Law!"
Law looked at Xiao Ran happily. After waving to Xiao Ran, he slowly climbed down the Assault Gundam. When he walked to Xiao Ran, he smiled and said, "You're back. I went to find a lot of materials today. When the time comes, the modified body will definitely surprise you."
Xiao Ran knew why Law was not there before. He nodded and said, "I said I couldn't find you just now. When can the body be modified?"
"I don't know the specific time." Law scratched his hair and turned to look at the Assault Gundam that had been dismantled. He said, "The weapon interface on the shoulder needs to be modified and strengthened to be able to hang the huge solid sword directly. The joints also need to be moved, especially the waist, legs, and hands. I saw Kira's combat record. I think these places restrict him a lot. There are other aspects. There are too many things that can't be done in a short time."
"Although I'm sorry, I still have to trouble you to complete the modification of the body as soon as possible." Xiao Ran frowned and said, "The situation is a bit delicate now. A lot of reinforcements have appeared in Zaft, and there are also reinforcements coming from Potalo Base. Without the Assault Gundam, the Archangel is just a live target. Oh, in fact, even if there is an Assault Gundam, I don't know if this body alone can resist it."
"Is the situation serious?" Law froze for a moment.
Xiao Ran nodded and said affirmatively, "There are Enhancers who defected to Zaft in the reinforcements, and two Gundams they took from Hailiopolis. There are at least fifteen Gundams in total. I don't think it's wrong."
"One against fifteen!?" Law's eyes widened and he said incredulously, "It's impossible. Even if I complete the modification of the body now, it's impossible to make the Assault Gundam reach that level. Even if Kira has that seemingly powerful combat record, he can't do it."
"Yes." Xiao Ran turned his head to look at Jean, who was standing aside and said, "If I can fight … at least I can protect the Archangel."
Suddenly, Xiao Ran turned his head to Law: "Law, please, I don't want to see the Archangel sunk like this, I don't want to see the people I like die here, and I don't want to see my friends and students destroyed with the Archangel. I know you absolutely have a way, please, help me."
After listening to Xiao Ran's words, Law was silent for a long time, bowing his head and thinking. When he looked up at Xiao Ran, his brows were still tightly wrinkled: "To be honest, although I have an MS, that MS has been labeled as a waste merchant. It can't participate in the war between Zaft and the Earth Army, so I can't help you fight."
Hearing Law's words, Xiao Ran was surprised, but before he could think of other ideas, Law's face changed instantly. He smiled and said in a frivolous tone: "Hey, although I can't fight for you, you can fight by yourself. After getting along with the people on the Archangel for a few days, I also feel that everyone is a good person. I'm willing to help them. Also, aren't we friends? Isn't it normal to help friends?"
