In a situation where conventional means were ineffective, it was extremely difficult to get rid of participants with superhuman physiques without leaving a trace. In order to get rid of participants, other than using powerful weapons and large-scale weapons, one could also get participants to deal with other participants themselves. However, the latter method wasn't practical as there were too many uncertainties, so Kreutzer didn't consider it.
Moreover, when killing these participants, they must also ensure that these participants were not in their own Airframes because no one could be sure whether these participants had something similar to an emergency escape device. Although their Airframes were destroyed, they would be teleported to a safe place the moment their Airframes were destroyed, thus escaping their pursuit. They would then become the fish that escaped the net, and everything about this mission would be announced to the public.
In Prometheus' huge market, there was no fully active teleportation escape device, nor was there any escape device that could be used in a non-combat state without relying on the Airframe. All escape devices were passive or semi-passive. The most important thing was that they must be used in conjunction with the Airframe in order to play the role of the escape device. There was also a small limitation in this, that was, they must be used in conjunction with the Airframe.
To put it simply, if participants encountered danger without piloting their Airframes, they could only use their own abilities to escape the danger. There was no way to use any escape device to escape the danger. But if they were piloting their own Airframes, and their Airframes were destroyed by the enemy in battle, then the bound escape device could teleport the participant out of danger at the moment their Airframes were destroyed.
In other words, if they wanted to kill these participants, the best choice was to kill them directly when they were not piloting their Airframes.
In addition, although Prometheus would erase the memories of the participants after the mission, the participants would not erase the memories of each other. Even if their memories were erased, they would still remember what they had done in this mission world and what kind of battle they had experienced. Only the memories of this world would be blurred and lost. If Xiao Ran really killed them and they escaped, these participants would still remember that Xiao Ran had become the leader of the faction. They would also remember that Xiao Ran was the one who killed them. This did not conflict with or affect them.
Kreutzer's methods were much more ruthless than Xiao Ran's. He didn't even hesitate to use the Main Angel to accompany these participants who had already been deemed as targets to be eliminated. While Xiao Ran remained in the original United Army's Earth base, the headquarters of the new, unnamed organization discussed the formation of the new structure with the various factions. As the victor of this war, Aubry's trump card, the Silver Hand, naturally needed to appear on the day of the new organization's establishment.
The two Archangel class warships, the Archangel and the Dominion Angel, became the two main warships of the Silver Hand. Most of the members of the Silver Hand set off from Aube to the place where Xiao Ran was. The personnel allocation of the two battleships was also carefully considered by Kreutzer. All the participants to be killed were arranged to be on the Main Angel, including some participants who had already joined the Burning Legion. The non-participants of the Silver Hand, including Aeschi, were arranged to be on the Main Angel, along with the Mech.
The two warships set off peacefully. One or two of the participants on the Dominion Angel felt that something was wrong. However, important members of Aube like Aeschi and Mary were on the Dominion Angel, and everything on the two warships was normal. No matter how these people who felt something was wrong observed and contacted other participants, the final result was that there was nothing wrong.
Only a few people knew about Cruzet's plan. Except for Aeschi's group of four, even those who had secretly joined the Burning Legion were completely unaware. So even those who had joined the Burning Legion thought that this was just a normal appearance. Not to mention that they had already joined the Burning Legion, even if they hadn't, it was perfectly normal for the participants of Aube's camp to show up.
But in fact, Cruzet did not intend to kill those who must be eliminated on the way. Instead, he set his destination at the base where Xiao Ran was currently located. He was prepared to kill all these participants in the most unlikely place and at the most unlikely time.
After the two warships, the Dominion Angel and the Archangel, left Aube, a MS team led by Mu, Mayo, Aslan, and Billy also set off from Aube into space. At the same time, they brought dozens of MED micro-missiles with them. After entering space, they began to converge with the fleet that had been setting off from PLANT at the fastest speed.
There were the most participants in Aube's camp, but there were also participants in the Zaft's camp. Since they wanted to kill all the participants who were not from their own army, naturally, the participants in the Zaft's camp would not be able to escape. If they wanted to kill the participants in their own camp, they did not need the cooperation of others. However, if they wanted to kill the participants in the Zaft's camp, they naturally needed the cooperation of the Zaft's people.
Cruzet directly contacted Dilandar, who was still the chairman of PLANT at this time. He told Dilandar about his plan to kill several Zaft pilots without hiding anything. In response to Cruzet's unreasonable request, Dilandar agreed without hesitation. Just like Cruzet, he arranged for several participants in the Zaft's camp to 'take the lead' to take the shuttle to Earth under the pretext of the establishment of a new organization. He also arranged for several participants in the Zaft's camp to 'take the lead' to take the shuttle to Earth and ensure the safety of the landing passage. The ace troops, including the Minerva, would depart later to join them.
Under such circumstances, Aslan, Mu, and the others also arrived in space and waited for the arrival of their targets. Although Aslan participated in this mission, he was not very clear about the reason behind it. However, with Aslan's character, he would not ask about the reason behind this special mission in the name of Aube, let alone Mu, Mayyou, Billy, and the others.
In fact, with the cooperation of Dilandar, there was no need to use as many people as Aslan, Mu, Mayo, Billy, and even a small Ms team. However, they had to operate the MED missile, and they were here to prevent any accidents from happening. Hence, Kreutzer still arranged for so many people to settle the matter here.
When the huge transport aircraft appeared in front of Aslan, Mu, and the others, who had been waiting in space for a long time, several MS teams quietly began to move closer to the transport aircraft.
The flight crew of the transport aircraft were all trusted personnel specially arranged by Dilandar. Naturally, they were not surprised by the sudden appearance of the MS. They did not sound the alarm of the transport aircraft to alert the participants in the transport aircraft. They even slowed down the speed of the transport aircraft and cooperated with the MS of Aslan, Mu, and the others. They successfully placed all the MED warheads in various places of the transport aircraft.
It was not until this time that the pilot of the transport aircraft picked up the communicator and began to communicate to the whole ship, "We are about to arrive at the predetermined location. All pilots, please go to the waiting room immediately to wait. The rest of the crew, please get ready to launch the MS attack immediately."
Several ZAFT participants, who did not notice anything amiss at all, quickly went to the waiting room of the transport aircraft and began to change their clothes there. At this time, the crew of the transport ship also began to disappear from the transport ship one by one. The people in the control room of the transport ship directly changed into spacesuits, opened the emergency escape channel, and directly left the transport ship.
When the ZAFT participants looked through the glass of the waiting room into the hangar, they realized that there was not a single person in the hangar at this time. One of the escape capsules that was in the forced launch stage disappeared in the blink of an eye. These participants realized that something was wrong. They began to panic and wanted to leave the waiting room and go to their own MS. However, the door of the waiting room was completely locked. Before they could do anything else, a black light flashed in their eyes. The next second, their whole body was completely pulled into a long, twisted shape and lost consciousness.
Without firing a shot, Aslan, Mu, and the others completed the task assigned by Cruzet in the name of Xiao Ran. The participants and the transport ship completely disappeared from this world, leaving not a trace behind. Mayo and Billy each carried a few people in spacesuits. The MS team that followed the team also grabbed two escape capsules and began to move towards a ZAFT battleship that had appeared not far away. It was not until all the people who escaped from the transport ship were returned to the ZAFT battleship that both parties quickly left the place as if nothing had happened, leaving nothing behind.
When the two battleships, Dominion and Archangel, arrived at the base that they had seized from the United Nations, they did not enter the inner port of the base for the sake of safety. They only stopped at an ordinary port on the coast, which meant that they did not enter the real interior of this huge military base.
Less than an hour after the two battleships stopped, they received news that Xiao Ran was going to bring people from various countries to visit the two battleships. Other than the pilots on the two battleships, basically all the departments on the two battleships were busy because of this news. Dominion Mary and Archangel Bakirulu even brought officers of all levels out of the battleships to welcome them outside. At the same time, some pilots from the two battleships were also dispatched to carry out escort and patrol duties to prevent any accidents during the visit.
However, those who did not join the Burning Legion and did not know that there were many participants who had joined the Burning Legion around them, let alone those who were selected to carry out the patrol duty were actually participants who had joined the Burning Legion. Those who were not part of the Burning Legion who were not aware of the situation were glad that they did not have to be busy. As they had just arrived at the destination, they were informed that there would be high-ranking officials of this world coming to visit. They were also given a restriction order to not leave the battleship or wander around. They only gathered in twos and threes, or stayed alone in their own rooms to rest.
Most of the participants had a superior mentality compared to the natives. Since no one asked them to appear when there were people visiting, these participants who were waiting to return to Prometheus after completing the mission were not willing to pretend how obedient they were and appear to be excellent soldiers among the natives.
Moreover, when they knew that the leader of Aube's camp was also a participant, there was no difference between the participants with the same identity after completing the mission. They were willing to follow the Dominion under the name of the Silver Hand without causing any trouble. The Archangel's arrival here was already giving Xiao Ran considerable face. Of course, it was not without the intention to see Xiao Ran as soon as possible.
Kreutzer had completely grasped the mentality of these participants, or rather, he had completely grasped the mentality of the majority of the participants. Even if there were a few participants who had other thoughts, they would naturally make the same choice as the other participants under the influence of herd mentality.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of these participants and to give the members of the Dominion more time to prepare, Xiao Ran indeed led the senior officials of various forces to the Archangel and the Dominion for a tour. Under the principle of "do not disturb unrelated people" and the inherent superiority of the participants during the tour, none of the participants actually appeared at the positions where Xiao Ran led the senior officials of various forces. Similarly, the soldiers of all levels on the Dominion were also ordered to stay in their respective rooms. They did not know that every time Xiao Ran led a group of people to visit a place, a group of people would quickly disappear.
It was not until Xiao Ran led those people around the Dominion that more and more officers of all levels gathered around Xiao Ran. In fact, there were no other staff members on the Dominion except for the participants.
It was not until Xiao Ran led a group of people away from the Dominion that several cars came from afar and stopped in front of the officers of all levels on the Dominion, led by Mary. Seeing these cars stop, these officers did not waste any time and quickly got into the cars and left. Less than 20 seconds after these cars left, several MED micro-missiles directly exploded in the Dominion.
