Xiao Ran was at his wit's end. If this strange situation did not occur at the beginning of the mission and he was directly in Aube, he could have led Aube's Space Army into space and pushed everything on Eugenius-7 to the old fox Dilandal and LOGOS. Then, he would have made a big move against the UC world.
But the problem now was that his faction was limited. He could return to Aube regardless of everything, but even if he succeeded in the first main mission, before he found the conditions to trigger the change of faction, the next main mission issued by Prometheus would still be a joint military main mission. Then, standing in Aube's faction would lead to the failure of the main mission.
Xiao Ran did not dare to try the consequences of failing the main mission. Of course, the consequences of failure were not unbearable for Xiao Ran. At most, some war achievement points would be deducted and some punishment would be imposed. However, it was better not to blatantly violate the mission issued by Prometheus. Being unable to complete the mission and deliberately not completing it were two different concepts. The former was due to the lack of ability, while the latter was due to the intention.
Xiao Ran had never failed a main mission before, so he did not know if there were any other punishments other than the deduction of war achievement points. However, there were no participants in Prometheus who would deliberately not complete a mission from Prometheus. This was definitely not because of the participants' moral integrity.
And in terms of status, it was completely different from all the mission worlds he had been to before. In the past, when he used the ultimate mission card to enter the mission world, his status was "Leave" during the interval. But this time, he took on the role of a relatively important storyline character in the joint military, so his status during the interval was unknown.
He could disregard everything and return to Aube and accept the failure of the main mission, but was the current Aube really the Aube he left? Even if he returned to Aube, would he be able to take over the military and political power again? Everything that happened in the past two years was a blank slate to Xiao Ran. He did not even know how 'he' turned from a retired Aube to a small soldier in the joint military. If Kajali was really on the Minerva, it meant that a great change had happened in Aube in the past two years. Xiao Ran's original storyline and trajectory had returned to normal to some extent, which made Kajali appear so weak in the armory as in the original storyline.
Before everything was solved, before Xiao Ran found the trigger to change his faction, before meeting up with Mary, Cruzet, and Law to obtain their own mechs, it was not wise to rely on his strength to jump around recklessly. Therefore, the best thing to do was to play his current role well. Under the premise that he did not violate the requirements of the main mission, the best choice was to do what he could and change as much as possible.
At the very least, he had to find out what happened in the joint military, PLANT, and Aube in the two years he was away. With his current identity as a senior colonel commander, it should not be difficult to find out the truth by beating around the bush.
"As for Yunus 7, I'm sorry. Although I don't want this to happen, I don't have the ability to stop it now. This is all I can do for now." Xiao Ran sighed faintly in his heart. In fact, he knew that what was going to happen next would be a disaster, but in such a situation, he had no ability to stop it at all. This feeling of powerlessness made Xiao Ran very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Xiao Ran had been in Prometheus for a long time, and although he had changed a lot, his human nature wasn't something that could be easily changed. Moreover, Xiao Ran had never thought about changing himself, so he didn't want to see losses, he didn't want to see sacrifices, and he still kept his pure kindness in his heart.
Therefore, he wanted to save some innocent people and reduce the sacrifice and loss. His personality was not that of a saint, but of a pure human nature. However, logic also told him that he could not directly rush to Yunus 7 now. Otherwise, he would definitely fall into the old fox's trap.
"I have to remove myself from this matter. I can't take the initiative to head towards the direction of Unius 7 to avoid being caught by the Minerva. That old fox, Dilandar, will pin all the blame on me after confirming my identity. No, as long as that old fox is willing, as long as there's anything wrong with me, regardless of whether he can confirm my identity or not, he can pin all the blame on me in advance and point his sword at the Earth Union. That's right, as long as that old fox is willing, as long as there's anything wrong with me, regardless of whether he can confirm my identity or not, he can pin all the blame on me in advance and point his sword at the Earth Union. When I can change sides, I will also be involved in this rotten matter. It's really tiring dealing with these old foxes. "
Xiao Ran rubbed his head with a headache and snorted twice in his heart. Besides, even if he could bring the Minerva there in advance, it would be useless. Regardless of what Dilandar was thinking, the Minerva would not carry equipment that could blow up Yunus 7. That kind of nuclear bomb that could drill into the ground and explode, even if he went there in advance, at most, it would be useless. Instead, it would actively involve him in this matter.
"If the Milky Way Songstress was here, there wouldn't be so much trouble." Xiao Ran shook his head lightly. This was the start of the game alone, and it was also the world of Gundam SEED. Although his identity was different, it seemed to make him return to the first time he entered this world. He had to be careful and take every step carefully.
After shaking his head, Xiao Ran decided to proceed according to the original plan of the Gadi Lu. It was not that he was selfish and cruel, but he really did not have any way to solve the current problem. The only thing he could do was to slowly follow the development of the plot and not let the Minerva deviate in the wrong direction and fail to catch up with the destruction of Yunus 7.
And even if he "coincidentally" guided the Gadi Lu to Yunus 7, the situation would be the same as the Minerva's arrival first. It would not help the situation at all. The premise was that he could not implicate himself in all of this. In the end, he would become the scapegoat pushed by the alliance army and PLANT. Once his identity was pointed out by the alliance army, the scapegoat would eventually become Aube.
"After all this, I either have to find a place to hide or fight according to the original plot. This feeling of powerlessness is really terrible." Xiao Ran shook his head, exhaled softly, and said, "Follow the original plan. It's precisely because we don't know if ZAFT will catch up with us that we have to continue according to the plan."
"Understood."
The Gadi Lu was heading toward the predetermined route, and the Minerva had been chasing after the Gadi Lu. More than an hour had passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Ran was adjusting the Chaos Gundam's OS in the Gnacou, directing the crew to make adjustments to the body of the Chaos Gundam. Originally, the Chaos Gundam had two armed pods that could be used, and it also had the function of launching missiles. However, the number of armed pods was still too small for Xiao Ran, so he had to hurry up and replenish the Chaos Gundam's dragoons.
As for replenishing the number of dragoons, it was not a difficult task for the technicians on the Gadi Lu. As long as they connected a few energy pipes without affecting the body's operation, they could fix the dragoons to the legs and back. However, due to the two-way constraints of manpower and equipment, Xiao Ran only asked the crew to add a total of four Sacred Shield-equipped dragoons to the back and legs of the Chaos Gundam. Xiao Ran was responsible for the system adjustments himself.
With the efforts of all the crew, it took almost two hours to connect the energy pipes and fix the dragoons. Although the appearance of the dragoons looked like they were hastily made, and the energy supply pipes for the dragoons could even be seen on both sides of the body and on the back, this was the limit of what they could make at the moment.
Not long after Xiao Ran finished modifying the body's system for the operation of the dragoons, he connected to the four new communication channels of the dragoons. The bridge discovered that a large heat source had appeared behind them, and it was chasing in their direction at an extremely fast speed.
Xiao Ran quickly jumped out of the cockpit and quickly rushed to the bridge. Ian Lee only heard the sound of the bridge door opening behind him, and he had already confirmed that the person who came in was Xiao Ran. Without turning his head, he said, "Sure enough, it's catching up. What a powerful high-speed ship."
"Distance."
“7000。”
"All troops in combat configuration, all pilots in the waiting room, get ready." Xiao Ran patted Ian Lee on the shoulder and said, "If we can't confirm the combat power of the enemy's warship, don't get entangled with them. However, if we let them continue chasing us like this, they will catch up to us sooner or later."
"After entering the asteroid belt, I will pilot the Chaos Gundam to attack, and try to gather as much of the enemy's power as possible on me. Let Stella, Oru, and the others guard the warship. The others will make arrangements according to the situation."
Ian Lee was stunned. He turned his head to look at Xiao Ran and frowned slightly. "Colonel, isn't this too dangerous? If the enemy's warship has more combat power than we estimated, once you get involved in the battle, it will be difficult for us to provide support. "
"It's fine." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I think the quality of the ZAFT's body won't be worse than the Sacred Shield-equipped dragoons, and there are also a few bodies that can provide mobile support. Even if we can't beat them, we can still escape after causing them some trouble."
