Chapter 393 Artemis of Destruction
Everyone was silent. They all knew the dangers of this trip, and even more so the necessity of doing so. Now both the Earth Army and ZAFT have lost their confidence in nuclear weapons. Binding force, restricting only one side is not enough. It is unrealistic to intervene in every battle to stop it. Therefore, it is necessary to attack both sides at the same time and stabilize both sides so that both sides can no longer use nuclear weapons to prevent the tragedy from happening.
"Also, except for me, Setsuna, Lyle, Tieria, Luo, and Gai, everyone else will be transferred to you."
"No!" Everyone objected again, originally The mission of the White Tiger is already very dangerous, and now it has to divide its combat power. Does this mean it is not dangerous enough?
"Don't underestimate the Earth's military. Even if you lose two mobile fleets, it's not easy to mess with. The pressure on your side is just as great, and our mission is more dangerous. If you don't have enough strength, just follow us. Death will also share our energy, so the more streamlined and elite we are, the safer we will be," Yang Hui explained to Ma Liu, Baji Lulu, Lux and others.
"That won't work! You can't be too conceited, Yang Hui. How can we possibly fight against the entire ZAFT with only your combat power!?" Kira stood up and yelled at Yang Hui. In his opinion, this was just going to die!
"That's enough. We are not going to fight the ZAFT army head-on. Our goal is just to find and destroy ZAFT's nuclear weapons..."
"It's simple." Aslan Standing up for Kira, "Let's not mention where the nuclear weapon you mentioned is. Even if you can find it, this strategic weapon will definitely be surrounded by heavy troops, not to mention you have to think about how to break through Boya first. "That's right, at least let Kira and Aslan be with you..." Lux suggested, the suggestion of dividing the troops into two groups could no longer be objected to. , the current disagreement lies in the division of combat power.
There is no doubt about the abilities of Yang Hui, Setsuna, Lyle and Tieria. There is also no doubt about the emperor's ability and the firepower of the White Tiger. However, they want to break through ZAFT's defense lines and go deep into the rear to find and find the enemy. It is not realistic to destroy strategic weapons, but if you add Kira and Aslan, plus the Freedom Gundam and Justice Gundam equipped with the meteor system, it is almost enough.
"No, Kira and Aslan are the main combat forces on your side and must follow you." Yang Hui directly rejected Lux's proposal.
Just kidding, it’s just because you have Kira and Aslan on your side that Yang Hui dared to propose splitting the troops into two groups. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to send the Eternal and Archangel to the lunar crater base to intercept the launch. The Earth's military fleet has received a nuclear bomb.
"But on your side..."
"Okay, that's it. Let's get ready and set off in an hour."
Everyone had complicated expressions, they knew Yang Hui has made up his mind, and no one can change what he has decided.
But they still put their last hope on Huang and Wang Liumei. Although Ma Liu and Baji Lulu are also Yang Hui's women, the time for them to establish a relationship with Yang Hui is shorter than that of Huang and Wang Liumei, and their tacit understanding with Yang Hui is worse than that of Huang and Wang Liumei. If there were no two people who could persuade Yang Hui, it would be them.
To their regret, Huang and Wang Liumei shook their heads in front of everyone and had no idea of persuading Yang Hui. Firstly, they also knew that they could not persuade Yang Hui; secondly, the decision Yang Hui made was indeed The most reasonable plan at present is whether it is dividing the troops into two groups or dividing the combat power.
Because they know that Yang Hui did this not out of arrogance, but out of mission. They have not forgotten the mission given by Promis Fortress to ensure the safety of the members of the Three Ship Alliance. Although they have made changes, by The White Tiger took the place of the Grass Pheasant, but they were unable to determine whether the member of the three-ship alliance certified at this time of the mission was the Grass Pheasant or the White Tiger.
One more thing is that the members of the three-ship alliance also include other MS pilots accompanying them, Barry Ho, Jiang Kelly, Luo, Cong Yungui, Asaqi, Mayura, Jiuli Others are included in it. Every time a person is killed, the reward will be reduced. Now three people have been lost. It may not be possible to lead them all to survive, but one can survive, so they are all arranged to the earth. Along the way, compared to going deep into PLANT, the pressure on the lunar crater side is much smaller.
"Get ready. It won't be easy on your side. Remember to contact Halbarton. With him here, it will not be difficult to master the crater base."
After saying that, without giving everyone a chance to refute, Huang and Wang Liumei also left the conference room, leaving people looking at each other.
"They... what on earth is going on?"
"Oh, it seems that no one can persuade Yang Hui at the critical moment."
"We ... Do you really want to watch them go deep into PLANT? "
Aslan's question silenced everyone. Of course they didn't want to, but... they couldn't persuade Yang Hui to change his mind and follow him secretly? Even more impossible.
"We can't change his decision. We can only complete our mission as soon as possible and then go to support." Baji Lulu said to everyone.
"...This is not easy." Mu scratched his hair and complained. Not to mention that the mission of the White Tiger was a narrow escape, how could they do any better? The pressure they need to face is still huge.
Although Wang Liumei gave them Duane Halbaton's contact information and told them that Duane Halboton could assist them in controlling the lunar crater base, but...who can say for sure?
What if Duane Halboton refuses to cooperate with them and even attacks them with others?
“Since we have chosen this difficult path, we can only continue to walk on it.”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Yes, when they chose this thorny road, weren't they already prepared? Complaints, regrets, anxiety, helplessness... are all excuses. What they have to do is to do everything as well as possible, end the war as soon as possible, and reduce the number of people who lose their lives because of the war.
At this point, everyone dispersed with heavy hearts, preparing to face the most difficult challenge. The MS belonging to the White Tiger headed for the big island under the leadership of Barry Huo and Jiang Kelly. On the Angel, Luo and Cong Yungui came to the White Tiger.
"Are you really planning to do this?" Luo and Cong Yungui asked after catching up with Yang Hui. It was obvious that they were very nervous.
"What? Are you scared?" Yang Hui raised the corner of his mouth and asked them jokingly.
"No... aren't you afraid?" Luo asked in surprise. Yang Hui and Setsuna, Lyle, and Tieria behind him were about to go deep into PLANT with just one battleship and single-digit mobile suits. Searching for and destroying ZAFT's hidden nuclear weapons is a complete act of suicide, right?
Hearing this, Yang Hui turned his head and looked at each other with Setsuna, Lyle, and Tieria and smiled.
Are you afraid? It's not that serious. It's not like they haven't experienced battles in which the numbers of the enemy and ourselves are vastly different. They still remember the battle in the world of Gundam OO when they were jointly besieged by three major powers and almost wiped out the group. This seems to be about the same, right?
To say that you are not afraid... it is not that you are not afraid at all. Who is not afraid of death? This mission is very difficult, and Yang Hui is not completely sure.
But...won’t you do it if you’re afraid? Of course not, otherwise they would not have chosen to join [Celestial Being], participate in the [Celestial Being] plan, or follow Yang Hui to Promis Fortress.
"If you are scared, you can leave, Cai. Even if your mission is completed, I will transfer the commission to you." Yang Hui said to Luo and Cong Yun.
"Who wants to leave!?" Luo shouted and punched Yang Hui, "You are not afraid of me, what are you afraid of? Besides, I am the luckiest person in the universe. With me here, say Maybe we can find the target at once, destroy it while everyone is not paying attention, and then escape completely?"
"Haha, I'll lend you a favor," Yang Hui laughed. Knowing that Luo was joking also relieved the fear in his heart, but seriously, what if Luo's shit luck really worked? Wouldn’t that please everyone?
"Since I accepted the commission and you have not breached the contract, I will carry it out." Cong Yunqi did not ask to leave. Generally speaking, he would not go on such a mission that can be regarded as death. Participated, but this time... His heart was moved. He, who had always been calm, had a fire burning in his chest. This was a flame that should have been extinguished a long time ago. He wanted to go, he wanted to witness, and he wanted to participate.
"Okay."
This was the last chance Yang Hui gave them to withdraw, and it was also the last chance ZAFT gave them to withdraw. The White Tiger is about to set off, and their current location is far away from the forefront of the gambling. Yaz Fortress is not far away, which means they will be able to enter PLANT soon.
No one is sure that they have not been discovered. Once discovered, there will be an endless pursuit. At that time, they will not be able to withdraw if they want to, even if Yang Hui is willing to let them go. , it also depends on whether ZAFT’s pursuers will let them go.
"Beep beep beep..."
At this time, Yang Hui's PAD rang. It seemed that the emperor's communication was connected directly. He thought she was going to ask Yang Hui for instructions for the White Tiger to sail, but it turned out that The emperor's expression was serious, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his heart thumped, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
"Yang Hui! Come to the bridge immediately!"
"Okay."
Suna, Lyle, Tieria, Luo and Cong Yungui were also shocked by the emperor's seriousness and panic. They went to the bridge with Yang Hui. As soon as they entered the bridge, they saw a scene that made their expressions change drastically.
“This is it!”
“Are you kidding me?”
"This...isn't this Artemis!? How could it...become like this?"
That's right, the image displayed on the screen is really the cosmic fortress of the Eurasian Federation, which is said to have Artemis, the invincible umbrella, was no longer the shape they recognized. The asteroid was torn apart, the scattered meteorites seemed to have been melted, and the mushroom cloud caused by the violent explosion was still standing in the universe.
Artemis was destroyed!
"What just happened!?" Yang Hui asked the emperor.
“ZAFT takes action...”
