Chapter 593 Separation


Chapter 593 Separation

With the destruction of the Archangel, the explosion of the Freedom Gundam, and the death of the pilot Kira, this battle finally came to an end.

But for everyone, what impressed them most was the murderous behavior of the Inquisition.

Although everyone on the Minerva had seen the battleships of the Tribunal before, and they had also spent some time with Duanmu Huai and others, they had never seen a trial during a battle because they had not fought together. What is the court like? In their impression, although Duanmu Huai and others were a bit difficult to get close to, they were not people they could not communicate with.

However, the attack on the Archangel completely shattered everyone's thoughts, and the Inquisition revealed its murderous side for the first time.

The war between the Earth Federation and PLANT is mainly about deciding the winner. Just like Captain Thalia's previous communication to the Archangel, they are willing to accept it as long as the other party surrenders.

But the Tribunal is different. For the Tribunal, the so-called enemies must be completely destroyed and eliminated. No one will be left behind, and they will not negotiate or compromise. Like the Orb and Earth Federation forces that Minerva encountered before, if they were replaced by the Inquisition, I'm afraid they would just destroy them all mercilessly.

surrender? No matter what choice you make, when they are deemed by the Inquisition as enemies that need to be eliminated, they are destined to have only one fate - a tragic death and complete destruction.

"Then it's time for us to say goodbye."

Duanmuhuai looked at Captain Thalia in front of him and said. The latter's expression was quite complicated. Now Thalia finally understood why Duanmuhuai asked him whether he wanted to let the Archangel go. Co-authored on Judgment As far as the court is concerned, they are already enemies. Originally, if Minerva had directly attacked the Archangel, there might not have been so much trouble... Hey, now Thalia has begun to think about how to write a report after returning to PLANT.

"I hope we won't become enemies next time we meet."

"As long as you are not enemies of humanity, then you are not enemies of the Inquisition. Moreover, I hope you remember that seemingly correct goals may not necessarily bring about correct results."

"I will keep these words in mind."

Captain Thalia nodded, then looked at Duanmuhuai.

"Your Majesty the Inquisitor, if possible, may I ask... the Inquisition's next plan?"

"We have basically understood the problem of the Earth's sphere. For now, it is just a struggle between the Earth Federation and PLANT, and it does not deserve the attention of the Tribunal. But now the space monsters outside the solar system are ready to move, so we will go there next Battle against space monsters at the edge of the solar system"

Duanmuhuai was not talking nonsense. In fact, when they were running around the earth on the Minerva, Aikot had been leading the Inquisition fleet to fight against a large number of space monsters in the fringes of the solar system. It's strange to say. I don't know if it's a coincidence. Every time Ecote encircles and suppresses space monsters, eight times out of ten, he will encounter the battleship Ecthelion that they had seen before, and the latter every time They were all in a panic being chased by space monsters.

Later, Ecott was speechless, and simply sent a fleet to hang directly behind the Exelion, and used them as bait for fishing.

Although the Inquisition fleet has defeated the space monsters time and time again, Ecote has discovered that these are just the vanguard team of the space monsters. Their large army is currently located in the Bird's Head Galaxy in the constellation Lyra, with a total number of more than 100 million, and the distance between the two wings is about 80 astronomical units.

This number exceeded Aikote's combat authority, so she hurriedly asked Duanmuhuai for instructions, and Duanmuhuai also made the decision to leave the Minerva after receiving the news. After all, the troublemaker Archangel has been destroyed, and what is left is the war between the Earth Federation and PLANT. He does not intend to intervene in this. In comparison, the cosmic monsters outside the solar system are more worthy of Duanmuhuai's attention.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Duanmuhuai also explained the situation to Captain Thalia and others, at least to give them some peace of mind.

"A group of space monsters with a total number of more than 100 million and a length of approximately 80 astronomical units..."

Sure enough, when they heard this, the expressions of Captain Thalia and others suddenly changed.

"You're not kidding."

"Of course not. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. The target is over the Lyra constellation. Those who come to the solar system so far are just some miscellaneous fish. The real army has not yet been dispatched.

"Inquisition..."

"For the Tribunal, enemies of this level are not worth mentioning. We naturally have ways to deal with them. The reason why I tell you this is that I hope you can be more careful."

"At this time, shouldn't it be better for us to unite as one and fight against the enemy together?"

"Can you convince PLANT or the Earth Federation?"

"Uh..."

Faced with Duanmuhuai's rhetorical question, Captain Thalia was speechless. He knew his own family affairs. Although the threat from space monsters was indeed great, they were still far away in the Lyra constellation. It could be said that they could not threaten humans at all in a short time. Even if he reports this news, the parliament will probably think that the other party may not attack humans. If humans take the initiative, it will anger the space monsters and so on... Hey, Captain Thalia doesn't care about political matters. There's a solution.

Of course, another reason is that despite the fierce fighting in the universe by humans in this galaxy, they do not even have the ability and technology to cross galaxies. I can't go even if I want to, so I can only stare here.

So it can be seen that no matter how hard the fish in the fish pond fight, there will be no improvement.

"Mr. Judge."

At this moment, Jiezi suddenly looked at Duanmuhuai and said.

"Can I go with the Inquisition? No matter what, I hope to repay you, and I also hope to do my part to fight against the space monsters."

"Me too...To be honest, compared to fighting between humans, I think it is more suitable for me to deal with space monsters..."

Anmari also raised her hand, while Yaz next to her quietly looked at Captain Thalia, and then silently raised her hand.

Of course, the three people's reasons are different. Setsuko Obara was saved by Duanmuhuai, so she wanted to repay her kindness. Annemarie herself has no interest in the idea of ​​the Earth Federation and PLANT, and also hates the cannibalism between humans. Instead of fighting humans, it would be more suitable for her to fight space monsters.

As for Yaz's thoughts, she was a little more subtle. She was originally a civilian, but she was forced to become a member of Minerva because she accidentally rode in a mecha that was regarded as a military secret. As for Yaz, if he could take this opportunity to transfer from Minerva to the Tribunal, he might be able to say goodbye to his mandatory military status.

After all, she is not from PLANT, so there is no need to work hard for PLANT!

The reason why they were able to make this choice was because they actually had no sense of belonging to either force. Setsuko came from another world, and Anmari was a warlock from the Demon Cult from another planet. , Yaz is a civilian, unlike Captain Kuwatro or Amuro. In any case, their forces in this world stand with PLANT, so they cannot leave this war.

"Are you sure? Let me state in advance that the intensity of the battlefield in the Tribunal is not like the small fights you have experienced before. If you are not careful, you will lose your life."

“…………I’m fine.”

"Me too."

"Uh, let me think about it..."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's warning, Setsuko Xiaohara and Anmari nodded, while Yaz was a little timid.

"I'm fine."

Duanmuhuai didn't care, but Captain Thalia smiled bitterly.

"I understand, Miss Setsuko, Miss Anmari, you are not ZAFT soldiers to begin with, so you can decide whether to stay or go. As for Miss Yaz..."

"Hey————!"

Seeing Captain Thalia looking at him, Yaz suddenly stiffened. "I didn't expect that you still have such feelings. If so, then I will appoint you as our Minerva representative to go to the Tribunal to help fight against the space monsters."

"Uh... I said now that I was just talking, is it still too late?"

"This is an order."

"Yes..."

Yaz lowered her head in despair. There was nothing she could do about it. After all, she had signed an agreement with ZAFT and was nominally a ZAFT soldier, not a free person like Setsuko and Anmari. Therefore, as a soldier, obeying orders is It's her calling.

In other words, Yaz's plan to escape ZAFT and regain his freedom was a complete failure.

After that, the two parties separated, and Captain Thalia was worried about how to write a report while heading towards PLANT. Duanmu Huai led everyone back to the flagship Three Little Pigs.

For Setsuko and others, this was not the first time they boarded this magnificent battleship, but they were still in awe. Duanmuhuai motioned to Audrey to take them to his room, and then came to the combat command room.

"Ah, Uncle Judge!"

Seeing Duanmuhuai walking in, Aikote stood up hurriedly, while Zhijinxiang next to him sighed.

"You are finally back."

"Are you okay...how is the current situation?"

"The offensive of the space monsters has weakened. I think they may have noticed that the advance troops were eliminated, so they gradually began to act cautiously. But I think their intensity may continue to increase... and they are currently passing through various The direction is to try to break through the defense line of the solar system. Frankly speaking, I think that one force alone may not be enough to deal with it. At least two fleets are needed.”

"I understand. I will recruit two more fleets. Thank you for your hard work, Aikote."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai touched Aikote's head and saw that it was convenient to have a commander. He could do everything for him, and he only had to be responsible for stamping the seal. This is much better than before. You must know that in the past, Duanmu Huai had to do this kind of thing by himself. Although it was convenient, Duanmu Huai himself was exhausted.

After all, he doesn't really like playing real-time strategy that much.

If anything, Duanmu Huai would rather play civilization.

"No, it's nothing..."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Aikote also turned red and lowered her head, while Duanmuhuai patted her on the shoulder and then looked at the others.

"Okay, you can go and have a rest. We'll talk about it later when we figure out the specific situation...Huh? An, what are you in a hurry for?"

Seeing An's restless look, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Gu Leiya is not here, what the hell are you jumping up and down like?

"Huh? It's nothing, that...yes, I'm going to pick flowers, pick flowers..."

"What the hell? Forget it, disband..."

"Click."

At this moment, the door opened, and Maria walked in. When she saw An, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss An, you are finally back. Just in time, I have already built what you want!"

"Shh——"

Seeing Maria, An also hurriedly ran to her side and covered her mouth. Then she turned her head and smiled at Duanmu Huai.

"Well, I'll leave first..."

"Just give me a moment."

As soon as An took a step forward, Duanmu Huai grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

"What did you ask Mary to make for you?"

"This..."

"Maria??"

Duanmuhuai saw that An was looking around and talking about him, and turned directly to Maria, who was stunned for a moment.

"Ah, Miss An asked me to build a mecha for her..."

"I knew you couldn't stay idle!"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai glared at An fiercely, who immediately shrank back in fear and stuck out his tongue.

"Because he's really handsome..."

"So you just want it? Huh? That's not right. You don't even have the blueprints. How did you build it? The other party can't kindly tell you the data of their mecha."

"This..."

An quietly glanced at Lumière next to Duanmu Huai. The latter's expression remained unchanged and he took a step back.

"Miss An, didn't you say this was the commander's order?"

"………………"

Good guy, everyone is a mole, right?

At this moment, Duanmu Huai was speechless.
