"I'm sorry."
Xiao Ran's apology was full of sincerity. He knew that even without his existence, Kira and the others would inevitably board the Archangel. The key reason that led them to stand here step by step was because Kira followed Kajali and blocked Aslan and the others from snatching the Gundam. And because of the battle with Zeon after obtaining the Gundam, Kira blocked the escape route of Miriya and the others, which led to a series of events.
It wasn't that Xiao Ran didn't know about this, but he still took responsibility for all the mistakes that no one was aware of. His goal was to further increase their favorability, especially Kira's. When Kira became more and more mature with the war, or when he felt more and more tired of war, he would recall what happened today. When he sorted out the things one by one, he would be even more grateful to Xiao Ran. He was grateful that Xiao Ran had always been like the most sincere protector of their growth.
In front of Marlene, what Xiao Ran wanted to do was to establish his sense of responsibility and wisdom. In this way, he would have more authority to speak in front of Marlene. At the same time, he would also be able to get closer to the highest-ranking officer on the Archangel. As for what kind of special relationship he wanted to have with Marlene, Xiao Ran only thought about it in his heart. He didn't intend to do it at all.
After hearing Xiao Ran's apology and analysis, everyone present was stunned. Their faces were full of shock, but there was still a thought in their minds: Zaft would never do such a thing.
Indeed, if it were any other commander in Zaft, they wouldn't place the battlefield on the colonial satellite of a weak neutral country. But Kreutzer was different. Kreutzer's purpose was to expand the war and let the flames of war engulf the world. Then, the world would die with him. So, to such a crazy person, neutral countries weren't a problem at all.
Mary shook her head, "This is a colonial satellite of a neutral country after all. Zaft wouldn't do such a thing …"
"Neutral country?" Xiao Ran laughed and asked in return, "Then can I ask you, this warship and this Gundam belong to the Earth army in fact, so why are they here?"
Xiao Ran's words silenced everyone. The hope in their hearts was completely destroyed.
Bakirulu felt the dejection of everyone around her. She gritted her teeth and suddenly said loudly, "Captain Ramyes! No matter what, the Gundam and the Archangel must not fall into Zaft's hands! Since we know that the enemy will still attack, we don't have time to feel sorry for ourselves here. "
"Yes." Mary raised her head. There was a glimmer of luster in her originally dim eyes, "Yes, as long as we leave and place the location of the battle outside the satellite, it won't cause any damage to the satellite. Second Lieutenant Bakirulu, what's the situation of the ship now? Can we leave the satellite?"
"Captain Mary, in addition to the power source … the rest …" Bakirulu pursed her lips, looked at Mary and shook her head gently, but then said loudly, "With our current manpower, if we resupply, it will only take about an hour to reach the standard configuration."
"One hour." Mary looked at the time. At the same time, Xiao Ran also looked at the watch in his hand. There were less than 50 minutes left. In other words, Zaft would start attacking in about 30 minutes. After about 20 minutes, that is, after 50 minutes, the colonial satellite would collapse, and the plot would officially begin.
"It's already been almost 8 hours." Xiao Ran muttered silently in his heart. Although he knew that Zaft would start attacking soon, he concealed this information. After all, he also had his own purpose.
She took a deep breath and ordered loudly, "Everyone, start resupplying the ship immediately. Prepare the Assault Gundam and repair the Mbius Zero as soon as possible."
"Yes!" All the members of the Archangel present saluted and quickly turned to leave.
"Kira, please move the Gundam inside." Mary finished speaking to Kira. After seeing the latter nod, she turned to Xiao Ran and said, "There is no doctor on the ship now, but there should be someone who can re-bandage your wounds. After you have dealt with your wounds and settled them down, come to the bridge. We need your help."
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded in agreement.
Mary hurriedly left. She now needed to discuss the next course of action with the others. Xiao Ran and the others also followed Kira's Gundam into the Gnacou. After Kira stopped the Gundam, they were quickly brought to the living quarters of the Archangel and arranged for a soldier to treat Xiao Ran's wounds.
When the wounds were treated, the pain from the wounds was not as terrible as Xiao Ran had imagined. The two bloody holes on his shoulders also showed signs of healing. Although it still looked bloody, Xiao Ran understood that his injuries were not as serious as they looked. Originally, he only had 12 points of endurance left. He did not know when it had recovered to 14 points, but it still affected his movements.
After the battle, Kira was exhausted both physically and mentally. It did not take long for him to fall asleep on the bed. Xiao Ran, who had changed into an Earth army shirt and jacket, glanced at Kira. After saying a few words to Sei, he left. Twenty minutes had passed.
From the living quarters to the bridge, there was almost no one else. Almost everyone was focused on the task of resupply. It was not hard to imagine how short the manpower on the Archangel was at this time. When they arrived at the destination and saw the metallic bridge, even Xiao Ran, who was already prepared, could not help but feel a little excited. However, he quickly adjusted his mentality, but the smile on his face could not be concealed.
Xiao Ran's intrusion interrupted the argument between Mary and Bakirulu. Mu smiled at Xiao Ran in a friendly manner. After seeing Xiao Ran, Mary first sighed to Bakirulu, then said to Xiao Ran, "That's it. If necessary, we will need their help. Mr. Xiao, you're here. "
"Mhmm." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "If there's anything I can help with, just let me know. But I think it's better to let me familiarize myself with this place first."
"No, it's not like that." Mary stood up and walked in front of Xiao Ran. Looking at Xiao Ran's deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, she could not help but feel a little embarrassed. "It's like this, Mr. Xiao. We hope that you can persuade the child to pilot the Gundam again. Now, the only combat power we have on this warship is the Gundam, but …"
"No one can pilot it, right?" Xiao Ran smiled, then shook his head gently. "Miss Lamias, I just said that I don't want my student to be in danger."
Mary looked straight at Xiao Ran. "But you're in a very dangerous situation now. Whether on the Archangel or leaving here, as you said, the satellite may collapse at any time, isn't it?"
"Haha." Xiao Ran was speechless. In the end, he could only laugh. "You're right. I will help you. But it's Kira's freedom to pilot it. I won't force him to do anything."
Mary said, "Helping us is the same as helping yourself."
"Yes, helping you is the same as helping myself." Xiao Ran smiled, then turned and left. He walked all the way to the door of the bridge before turning back. "If there's anything else I can help with, just let me know."
"Beep, beep, beep!"
An alarm suddenly sounded in the bridge, causing the expressions of everyone in the bridge to change. Bakirulu ran to the signaller's position and clicked on it. The image was transmitted from the satellite's external monitor. It was clear enough to compare to the HD image Xiao Ran knew.
After Mary saw the image on the screen clearly, she suddenly exclaimed, "Five Zeon units, all equipped with fortress equipment. This is … the Sacred Shield! And a duel! Zaft's technology has reached this level? They entered the battle so quickly. "
Mary gritted her teeth. "Bakirulu, how long until we enter the battle range?"
"Ten minutes," Bakirulu said.
"Hey, is this all the combat power except for Blitz and Storm? Mr. Xiao, our lives depend on your eloquence. " Mu jumped up from the battleship pilot's seat and said to Xiao Ran as he ran into the fire control room.
Mary also frowned as she sat in the captain's seat. "All personnel first combat configuration. All supply work is to be suspended. Gundam, get ready to attack."
"There's no time to waste. I'll go down first." Xiao Ran's expression also changed. He seemed to remember that in the anime, only two or three Zeon units appeared in this battle. There was also Aslan in the middle, which made the battle seem less intense. But now, not only did the number of Zeons increase, even Y 'zak's duel gundam appeared. No one could guarantee what would happen if they did not take it seriously.
At this time, Xiao Ran's life and future were tied to Archangel. With such a change in the plot, even Xiao Ran, who usually did not feel nervous, began to feel nervous.
Less than two minutes after running out of the bridge, Xiao Ran already felt that Archangel had risen again. Kira also woke up from his sleep because of the alarm in the battleship. At this time, he was looking at the situation outside with Sei and the others through the aisle monitor.
Seeing Xiao Ran rushing over, Miriya asked worriedly, "Teacher, did Zaft attack again?"
Xiao Ran nodded with a heavy expression. "The current situation is very bad. Zaft has invested seven MS-class fighters with strong offensive equipment used to attack the fortress. There are even two MS-class fighters that have been snatched away. If we only rely on the Archangel … we can only be a live target."
"No …" Miriya covered her mouth and looked at Xiao Ran in horror. "Teacher, will we die?"
"I will go to the bridge later to help operate the weapons, but …" Xiao Ran turned to Kira and sighed. "Kira, they asked me to ask you to pilot the Assault Gundam. Of course, it's up to you whether you want to pilot it or not."
"Damn it, just because I'm the only one on this ship who can pilot it?" Kira clenched his fists, suppressing his anger. "If I say no, will I and this ship be … damn it."
Kira finished and was about to turn and leave, but the next moment, Xiao Ran pressed Kira's shoulder and stared straight at Kira. "Kira, no matter what your choice is, you have to remember that we will always be with you. We will always be with you in life and death. I will also support you on this ship, and our lives … are in your hands."
