Just as Aube's fleet began to move towards the Alliance's fleet, almost everyone in the world paid attention to the upcoming battle between Aube and the Alliance. No one knew who would win or lose at this moment. On one hand, the Alliance was now strong and had a large number of troops. On the other hand, it was Aube who had become weak but had a certain foundation. More importantly, on Aube's side, there was Xiao Ran, who was troublesome and feared by the Alliance.
The world was more concerned about the final outcome of this battle. If Aube won, it would give those countries, forces, and regions who were not willing to join the Alliance the courage to resist. If the Alliance won, then the entire Earth would completely become the Alliance's backyard, which was something most people did not want to see.
And under the sea far away from Aube, the Archangel was also quietly anchored at the bottom of the sea. Everyone on the Archangel also learned about the current situation between Aube and the Alliance through some intelligence and information. This was especially true for Kajali. Two days after leaving Aube, she found out that Xiao Ran had returned to Aube and took over all the rights in Aube. After that, he arrested all the Selan family members. She shouted angrily and wanted to rush back to Aube to ask Xiao Ran why he arrested the Selan family members.
However, Kajali's impulse did not receive the support of everyone on the Archangel, including Kira. She was forced to stay on the Archangel.
Kajali's approach in Aube was to compromise step by step for stability, while Xiao Ran's approach was to strengthen step by step for stability. The two had different views and thoughts, so Kajali could not understand why Xiao Ran arrested all the Selan family members as soon as he returned to the country. He even cleared out almost two-thirds of the entire cabinet. Even some military personnel close to the Selan family were all arrested.
According to Kajali, Xiao Ran's actions would only bring Aube into chaos and into the abyss. However, after a few days, Aube did not fall into chaos because of Xiao Ran's actions. Instead, they became more united. It was like a few slaps on Kajali's face, making her angry and embarrassed.
However, she also insisted that everyone return to the Archangel. She also knew that Xiao Ran's strength had stabilized the internal situation in Aube, but at the same time, he would also be attacked by the joint forces. As the former leader of Aube, she naturally had the foresight. Sure enough, now that the joint forces had begun to attack Aube, Aube was even more aggressive in sending troops to meet the attack. That attitude of 'either you die or I live' also made Kajali extremely worried.
Not only was Kajali worried, but Kira also had countless doubts in his heart. Why didn't Xiao Ran appear earlier or later? Why did he choose to appear when Kajali left Aube? As for Xiao Ran's actions, Kira would not have any judgment. No matter what Xiao Ran decided to do, Kira would think that Xiao Ran had his own ideas.
Lax was wiser than both Kira and Kajali. She had already seen from the attitude of Mary, Uncle Maxi, and several bridge crew members on the Archangel that Xiao Ran's return was clearly something that they already knew. Therefore, Xiao Ran also knew about the departure of the Archangel. However, Lax cleverly concealed this and pretended not to know anything.
Like Kira, Lax also did not understand why Xiao Ran did not appear in Aube in advance, nor did he stop the Archangel. Instead, he allowed them to do what they wanted. Lax knew that Xiao Ran did not understand why Xiao Ran would do this. He also did not understand why Xiao Ran was so sure that Kajali would leave. However, after Kajali learned about the series of actions and reactions that Xiao Ran showed after returning to Aube, Lax somewhat understood what Xiao Ran was thinking. Kajali was too impulsive and immature. Not only could she not be a help to Xiao Ran's return, but she would also become an obstacle to Xiao Ran's return.
Therefore, he could only sigh when he saw Kajali impulsively and angrily wanting to run back to Aube every time. Lax knew very well that since Xiao Ran chose to appear after Kajali left, he hoped that Kajali would leave. At this time, even if Kajali returned to Aube, it was more likely that she would be secretly put under house arrest by Xiao Ran.
Lax even thought about what might happen if Kajali really returned to Aube. She would have a conflict with Xiao Ran, release the members of the Selan Family and a series of henchmen, and then split Aube. Or Xiao Ran would directly leave and return Aube to Kajali. However, with Kajali's ability, she would probably retreat and join the World Security Alliance under the pressure of the Selan Family.
On the other hand, there would definitely be people in Aube's army who would choose to leave with Xiao Ran. Not only the army, but also the Dawn Society, the civilians, and even those who were willing to support Xiao Ran's cabinet would leave with him. The end result would still be a split in Aube.
Lax could understand why Xiao Ran chose to appear after Kajali left. However, Xiao Ran's actions at this time really made Lax a little confused. Xiao Ran was too domineering, so domineering that it did not match the current situation of Aube. When the alliance sent out a fleet to attack, he did not choose to stay behind and defend. Instead, he took the initiative to attack in an almost provocative manner. Was it because he was too firm in Aube's ideals? Was it because he was too confident in Aube's current strength?
And even if he was forced to join the World Security Alliance, Xiao Ran could have let Aube join the alliance and the Zaft Army without sending a single soldier. At that time, even if the alliance wanted to pressure Aube to send out troops, they could at least buy more time to solve the problem.
In short, Lax also felt that Xiao Ran's choice to fight was a little too impulsive. Lax supported the idea of using a battle to prove his firm beliefs. However, she was worried about whether Aube's current strength could really fight against the alliance. After all, once the battle started, there was no turning back. If he failed, he would really lose everything.
It was normal for Lax not to be able to guess Xiao Ran's thoughts. The Xiao Ran she knew was not an impulsive person, but a person who moved after a certain time. Lax believed that Xiao Ran must have his reasons for doing so, but she didn't know what the reasons were. The reason why Xiao Ran refused to join the World Security Alliance from the beginning, and even provoked the alliance like a declaration of war, was also to pave the way for him to make Aube his exclusive territory.
Carrie's weakness and concession had caused a lot of resentment within Aubrey's inner circle. However, Ashar's legacy had caused many people to habitually support and obey. What Xiao Ran wanted to do was to completely display a side that was completely different from Carrie's. She was gentle to her own people and tough to the outside world. She wanted to use this battle to raise Aubrey's morale. She wanted to use this battle to win more support.
He wanted everyone in Aube to see the difference between his rule and Kajali's rule. He wanted everyone to know the changes that he brought to Aube after his rule. He wanted to bring confidence and glory to the people of Aube. He wanted to let all the people of Aube live there without any worries. He also wanted to let them know that his army was invincible. He wanted to let the army know that only under his leadership could they protect Aube and win again and again.
Therefore, Xiao Ran had to win this battle, and it had to be a beautiful victory. Only by winning without any pressure could Xiao Ran propose his conditions to the alliance. Some conditions and compensation that might be difficult for the alliance to accept, but could raise Aube's status in the world again and make all restrictions disappear.
Just as Lax was guessing Xiao Ran's thoughts and subsequent actions, Kira's usually silent and gentle face had a touch of helplessness. He walked into her room.
"Kajali knows that Aube is about to go to war with the alliance. Now, she's in the bridge asking Captain Mary and the others to go back to Aube. She said that she wants to stop the fleet. She can't let Teacher willfully lead Aube into the abyss." Kira said while shaking his head. He sighed and said, "We can't persuade her no matter how hard we try."
Lax smiled and shook her head at Kira. She stood up and said, "If Kajali can't understand his actions, then why not give them a chance to talk to each other personally?"
Kira paused for a moment. He looked at Lax and said, "You also agree to go back now?"
"No." Lax shook her head and said, "There's no point in going back to Aube now. Even if Kajali goes back to Aube, no one will listen to her orders at this time. Besides, didn't Xiao Ran remove Kajali from all her positions? To Aube, Kajali is just a better person than a commoner. She can't affect his will and Aube's actions."
Lax looked at Kira with a smile. "And don't you already have your own ideas? Go, do what you think. Maybe then we'll get all the answers."
"Got it." Kira nodded. He smiled gently at Lax and firmly turned to leave Lax's room. After Kira left, Lax thought, "Why did you do this? What's your purpose? Kajali has unknowingly become an obstacle to you. Is that why you let her leave? It seems that I need to return to the universe to prepare. "
