"Harvey!" Aeschi scolded softly. Now that she knew that the army was in an extraordinary situation, she did not feel any dissatisfaction or regret at all. On the contrary, she hoped that she could show more of herself in front of Xiao Ran, be it in terms of temperament or ability, so that she could obtain more opportunities and help.
"It's fine. As long as you abide by the army's rules and our supplementary agreement, I don't care what jokes you make under normal circumstances, but I still hope that you can be serious and cautious when doing things." Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head. "As for the faction territory, I didn't set too many restrictions. The purchase of stay time is also at Prometheus' lowest price. As for the army's help, of course, this must be done according to the rules. If you have enough contribution points, if you show good potential, or if you do something beneficial to the army, not only will the army subsidize the purchase of stay time, but there will also be other rewards."
"These are all clearly stated in the supplementary agreement. You should have noticed the other benefits of the army other than the faction territory. Although the army is still very small, and many of the benefits are not as good as those of the larger armies, we will not fall behind in terms of technology. In addition to what the faction territory can give us, we also have our own technicians who can improve your mecha. Currently, the army has mastered a lot of technology, so we should be able to create a highly customized mecha that you will be most satisfied with."
"There are also many other things. You will understand when you look at the army's specific rules. It's too complicated to explain, but I must remind you that only by putting in the effort will you reap the rewards."
"We understand." As the big sister of the four-man team, Aeschi used a short sentence on behalf of the four to express their determination. At least, it was the determination that came from the current battle between the two factions.
The Gadi Lu began to retreat as soon as it saw Xiao Ran's retreat signal. Originally, after the main forces of the Minerva were led away by Xiao Ran and the guided missiles, the remaining Luna Maria and a few other ZAFT soldiers who had not even appeared in battle were left to deal with the Gaia Gundam on the Gadi Lu. The Abyss Gundam and a few other soldiers could only protect themselves. It was basically a one-sided battle.
Before Zhen and Rei rushed back, two of the Minerva's mecha had been destroyed. The Minerva also suffered some damage, so Luna Maria and the other Minerva pilots did not dare to leave the ship too far. They could only rely on the powerful firepower of the Minerva to defend themselves. It was not until Rei and Zhen rushed back that the situation changed.
However, after Xiao Ran sent the retreat signal, the Gadi Lu, which had suffered minor damage and lost two people, also decisively began to retreat. Zhen and Rei did not continue to pursue the Gadi Lu, whether it was out of their own will or because they were obeying the orders of the Minerva pilot, Thalia Kuradis, who was almost incapacitated. They could only let the Gadi Lu swagger away.
After Rei and Zhen returned to the warship, they were quickly summoned to the captain's room for questioning.
Dilandar sat in the captain's room without saying a word. Captain Thalia sat in her chair and looked at the two men standing across the table. One of them had his head raised and his expression was normal, while the other had his head lowered. She could not see the expression on his face. She said in a deep voice, "It took about ten minutes from the time I sent the message to ask you to come back immediately to the time you arrived at the Minerva. Six people went, but only two came back.
What happened? "" We were not facing just one Chaos Gundam, but a total of three people, including the traitor, "Rei said calmly. "Among the four pilots who joined the Minerva, two of them were traitors planted among us by the enemy. The Chaos Gundam's pilot alone was not something we could easily deal with. Coupled with the sudden betrayal of the other two pilots, we were at an absolute disadvantage. If it weren't for the other two pilots fighting desperately to cover our retreat, we might have been captured by the enemy." Lei Xin said calmly, unhurriedly.
After Rei finished speaking, True Flying Bird's body stiffened. Dilandar frowned and Thalia's shocked expression froze in the captain's room.
"Is that so?" Dilandar lowered his head slightly and said with a frown, "I know a little about those four people. They seem to have defected from the Alliance to the ZAFT. However, because they made a lot of contributions before this and sent us all the information about the G-series mecha from the Alliance two years ago, they were put in an important position. I didn't expect that other than two of them, the other two were actually pawns planted by the Alliance. This also confirms that the mastermind behind this operation is the Alliance." Thalia rubbed her head.
As for whether Rei was telling the truth or not, Dilandar and Thalia did not seem to have any doubts from the beginning. They waved their hands and said, "Forget it. Things have developed to this extent. Compared to the safety of the president and Prime Minister Aube Ashar, the three mecha are not that important. Besides, the Minerva has been damaged, and we have lost the possibility of continuing the pursuit. This matter ends here. You can leave now."
"Yes." Rei calmly saluted the two of them. He then pulled True Flying Bird, who did not know how to face the situation, out of the captain's room. After the two of them left, Thalia shook her head and said, "It seems that he is still too young. This kind of thing has impacted him greatly."
"It's okay. I believe that he will grow into an excellent pilot who can take charge of a region." Dilandar smiled, stood up and walked towards Thalia. He said, "It seems that repairing the Minerva will take some time. Thank you for your hard work today."
"No." Thalia shook her head gently. She looked at Dilandar who was walking towards her and leaned her head on his chest.

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When the Chaos Gundam returned to the Gadi Lu with the four Zagu Phantoms, the people on the Gadi Lu who were still unaware of the situation were shocked. However, when Xiao Ran told Ian Lee that the pilots of the four Zagu Phantoms were on their side, Ian Lee was still baffled. Although he opened the hatch to let the five Zagu Phantoms in, the necessary precautions were still in place. He even personally led a large group of armed soldiers to the garage.
When Xiao Ran came out of the cockpit of the Chaos Gundam, he saw that the four Aeschi pilots had also left the cockpit. However, countless guns were pointed at them. He raised his eyebrows and landed beside Ian Lee. He gently waved his hand and said, "Put down your guns. They are not enemies."
Ian Lee was a little hesitant. "But where did they come from …"
"It doesn't matter. Even if they are not the Alliance, at least they are not ZAFT." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "Regarding this point, I can see that from the way Stella and the other two fought for the mecha. After I entered the armory, they also took the initiative to leave. That was why we were able to escape so easily. However, it seems that they have some information that they want to tell me personally."
"But Senior Colonel, you still have to be careful." Ian Lee nodded and ordered the soldiers around him to put down their weapons. He also ordered the four Zagu Phantoms to be completely locked down in front of Xiao Ran, Aeschi, and the other three. Although he could not refuse Xiao Ran's orders, he could warn Aeschi and the other three not to have any bad thoughts.
"Bring them to my room. Be polite. After all, they are our guests." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he turned around and left Gnacou. Although Ian Lee would listen to Xiao Ran's words and be polite to the four, he would not let go of any inspection. It was not until Xiao Ran rested in his room for about half an hour that the four people who had taken off their ZAFT combat uniforms and changed into short-sleeved shirts and trousers were sent to Xiao Ran's room under the guard of several soldiers.
After the four people entered, Xiao Ran waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to leave. Although the soldiers were also hesitant and worried about Xiao Ran's safety, after Xiao Ran's serious tone, they still left the room and stood outside the door.
Xiao Ran originally wanted the four people to sit down, but when he looked around the room that even he was not familiar with, there were no suitable seats for the four of them, so he gave up on this idea. When the four people saw Xiao Ran clearly, especially the mask on Xiao Ran's face, they all had a shocked expression on their faces.
Xiao Ran sat on the chair behind the office desk and looked at the shocked faces of the four people with interest. He smiled slightly and said, "This is not the first time we have met."
"The general during the mission? It's actually you, no, it's you, sir? How is this possible? Isn't sir on the opposite side of us? " Harvey's reaction wasn't slow, but he said whatever came to his mind. He directly revealed his identity in the Gundam 00 world.
"Don't be surprised. I was the general who led you at that time, and I was also a participant in the opposite side. That's why you all retained the memories of the general, which is me. However, it's precisely because the memory is very normal and Prometheus's method of diluting memory is too good, so even if you have the memory of someone like that, you will still think it's normal in your heart."
