Chapter 324 Set sail again (big update for Hong Ci!)
Half a month passed quietly, and everyone was busy and couldn't get away.
“It’s finally fixed.”
“Well, it’s time for us to leave Orb.”
Ma Liu and Baji Lulu were a little reluctant to leave. They and Yang Hui ...We have established a relationship, but now we have to separate.
During the half month in Aub, Yang Hui brought them a completely different feeling, peaceful, relaxed, plain but warm and happy. If you are a weak-willed person, you may have been intoxicated by it, right?
But they can't. They are soldiers and have unfinished duties, so they must leave.
They are also very afraid of their relationship with Yang Hui, afraid of sinking, afraid of forgetting their identity and forgetting their responsibilities, so they must separate from Yang Hui.
"What Yang Hui said...what do you think?" Ma Liu asked Bucky Lulu.
“…I don’t know.”
"Puch~"
"Laughing...why are you laughing?"
"No, I just think you have changed, Natal." Malu chuckled, feeling very happy too. , she and Baji Lulu have always had ideological conflicts, and the relationship between the two parties is not very good, but Yang Hui, as the link between the two, connects them together.
Not only that, Baji Lulu was indeed changed by Yang Hui. If it had been before, Baji Lulu would have replied without hesitation, "That's nonsense. Obeying orders is a soldier's bounden duty!" Class words.
But now she is hesitant and entangled, which shows that the firm belief that Baji Lulu has developed since childhood has been shaken.
"Aren't you the same?" Bucky Lulu's pretty face turned red and she asked Ma Liu softly.
Ma Liu was stunned for a moment, and her face also turned rosy.
"Yes, isn't he just such a person?" Ma Liu sighed with emotion.
Most people may not be able to see the change in Malu, but Bucky Lulu can. Malu is another kind of soldier in the traditional sense, although it is completely different from Bucky Lulu’s iron-blooded style. But when faced with orders from high-level officials, she may doubt or argue, but she will definitely execute them.
But now, she was confused, even more shaken than Bucky Lulu.
If after arriving at the Alaska base, the military superiors issued an order to disperse them, Bucky Lulu might just be in a dilemma, and Ma Liu would probably do what Yang Hui said and stay on the Archangel, and even ask others to come along. Leave.
“Beep beep beep…”
“It’s me.”
“Captain, the sailing procedures are ready, please come to the bridge.”
"Understood, coming right away."
After finishing the communication, Ma Liu and Baji Lulu looked at each other and sighed in unison. Yang Hui's words lingered in their hearts and could not be dissipated, but they were about to be separated. Maybe this separation was an eternal farewell, and they could only hide it in their hearts. Deep down in your heart, do what you need to do in front of you.
As for the future... let’s talk about it then.
When they arrived at the bridge, everyone had already taken their seats and looked at them. Arnold and others had a bit of reluctance and emotion in their eyes. Who doesn't like peaceful days?
The reluctance in the eyes of Mirialia, Sai and others is even stronger, because Orb is their motherland. If possible, who would want to leave the motherland and become a soldier of other countries?
Maru and Bakiruru looked out the window through the glass of the bridge. Next to the Archangel, Uzumi came, Cagalli came, Yamato and his wife came too, and Toki Er, Mirialia, Sai, and Kaz's parents all came, but they didn't see the figure who was thinking about them.
Ma Liu and Baji Lulu were silent. They hoped that Yang Hui would come to say goodbye, but they didn't want him to say goodbye. However, when they saw that he was not here, they felt inevitably disappointed and sad.
"Is he disappointed with us?"
"Maybe, but...it doesn't matter anymore."
"...The sailing process begins!"
“Understood, the sailing process begins and water injection begins!”
...
Cagalli looked at the Archangel that was about to leave, clenching her teeth and clenching her fists into fists.
Originally, Cagalli wanted to leave with the Archangel, even packing her luggage, but Uzumi stopped her.
“Do you want to go with that ship?”
“Yes.”
"Then you want to fight against PLANT as the Earth Army? Do you really want to fight?"
"No! I don't want to fight!"
"Why is that?"
"I want to help them! I want to end the war as soon as possible!"
"If you go to the war, will the war end?"
"...but..."
"If you kill someone else's husband, his wife will hate you; if you kill someone else's child, his mother will hate you. If you are in the hands of someone else, ...I will also hate him deeply. Why don’t you understand such a simple truth?”
“Of course I know! But I don’t want to be the only one living in Orb...”
“What can you do with your superficial and self-righteous sense of justice!?”
“…”
"Fighting is not only about carrying a gun. Orb's peace is not about ease. Didn't Yang Hui tell you already?"
"Father..."
These truths are stuck. Carrie understands everything, but she just doesn't want to admit it because she feels that she is too weak and can't find any other way to fight except carrying a gun.
"Where's Yang Hui? Why didn't you see him?" Cagalli shook her head to drive away distracting thoughts. She looked around and found that the person who should come to see off the Archangel did not come. If Cajiali If Carrie just wanted to help the Archangel, Yang Hui had sailed a long distance with the Archangel, and the bond between them was not comparable to that of Carrie.
Not to mention, there are two women on the Archangel who like him.
"He is where he should be."
"Tch, cold-blooded."
Hearing this, Uzmi sighed, knowing that Cagalli was just venting her anger and was not interested in Yang Hui. There is no malice, but just this little detail can tell how big the gap is between Cajiali and Yang Hui.
"Forget it, you should just be a princess, Cagalli." At this moment, Uzumi finally made up his mind, leaving him constantly torn between sensibility and rationality. A decision was made.
......
"The Orb Army sent a notice that no ship was found in the surrounding area. We will set off at the scheduled time."
"Tell them that we know."
Some people were surprised by the Orb Army. Bu actually sent a convoy to send them away, using the number of battleships to confuse the ZAFT army, making everyone feel more grateful to Orbu.
Of course, this was just the beginning. After the Archangel sailed out of the dock, radar control became tense.
"The radar reacted! Heat source comparison, MS4!"
"What!?"
"How is it possible!? This is still in Orb territory!"
Everyone They believed that the four MSs that came quickly were Duel, Storm, Thunder and Holy Shield. They were also shocked by their determination, and they actually dared to rush into Orb territory to attack them at the risk of danger.
But soon, it was discovered that it was not.
"Database comparison... They are four unknown MSs in the battle of the Eighth Fleet!"
"What!?"
They were not enemies, but it shocked everyone even more.
The intelligence of the [Celestial Being] mercenary organization has always been an unsolved mystery for the major forces. The major forces have also been trying every means to get in touch with the [Celestial Being], trying to recruit them or even destroy them. them, but to no avail.
And all the forces are speculating that Orb is behind [Celestial Being].
Orb never admitted it, so the speculation remained speculation.
And now, four aircraft appeared from the territory of Orb. Under the shocked eyes of everyone, they guarded the left and right sides of the Archangel together with the escort fleet. Isn’t this a direct recognition of [Celestial Being] and Orb? relationship?
"Yang Hui! You..."
Ma Liu and Baji Lulu were lost in thought. The emotions they had finally suppressed burst out in an instant, and their empty hearts were filled with touch and sweetness.
This is telling them with actions that I have not disappointed them and will still protect them.
"Captain."
"Sail!"
"Understood!" Seeing the scene where the Dawn Gundam, Archangel, Cherubian and De Angel suddenly appeared, guarding the Archangel, my brain lost the ability to think.
"He is where he should be."
This sentence echoed in my mind, like a deafening bell ringing close at hand.
“This damn bastard!”
Cagalli was upset again, because this kind of thing was not told to her in advance!
“Let’s go, Cagalli.”
"Where to go?"
"The General Command Room of the Ministry of National Defense."
Seeing the seriousness on Uzmi's face, Cagalli did not dare to be willful and followed Uzmi obediently. Behind her, she had a feeling that there would be more surprises, no, shocks waiting for her.
Arriving at the general command room of the Ministry of National Defense, Cagalli was once again dumbfounded. The command room was crowded with people. Everyone was working hard, turning into precise gears that rotated at high speed, driving the Orb Army. Huge machine.
The person responsible for commanding them is a person Cagalli has never thought of, let alone dared to think of.
"Emperor!"
That's right, the person in charge of command is none other than the Emperor. He grew up with Cagalli and was a good friend who he thought he knew very well.
When the emperor saw Uzmi and Cagalli arriving, he did not welcome them, but just nodded, and then continued to return to his intense work.
“Has the drone reconnaissance produced any results?”
“Outside Orb’s territorial waters, the ZAFT submarine fleet was discovered, located at coordinates (021,023), (031,876), (901,010), (755,890) ”
"Traces of MS troops?"
"No found!"
"Correct the route, adopt Plan B, and immediately send the revised route to the escort fleet and the Archangel."
"Understood!"
"Telegraphed the four machines of Daybreak, Enangang, Cherubian and De Angel, and the scheduled plan will directly enter the B2 stage."
"Understood!"
At this time, Wang Liumei connected the communication with Huang.
"How is the situation?" Without greetings or greetings, the emperor asked Wang Liumei directly.
"The deal has been reached, and Orb's territorial waters have been extended by ten kilometers."
"Very good! The first and second fleets set sail and implemented planned plan C1."
< br>
"Understood! The first and second fleets will set sail immediately and go to the designated positions to stand by. Repeat once, the first and second fleets will set sail and go to the designated positions to stand by."
"The third and fourth fleets are ready to set sail. Get ready, the 1st and 2nd Aviation Groups are on standby, and the 1st MS Strike Group is on standby."
"A press conference will be held in 5 minutes to announce the expansion of Orb's territorial waters to the world."
< br>“Understood!”
“Very good, [Stage Combat] begins!”
"Understood!"
