The dark room was very quiet, with only the slight low-pitched sound of the machine and the occasional chatter of the full-time technician.

From the control room, Prea stared ecstatically at the end of the room, where three round beds stood side by side like sorrel leaves.

The beds were covered with a glass cover with a strong dome, and the three young drivers were lying in different sleeping positions.

To be honest, their sleeping faces are indeed as innocent and cute as young children, as if they don't understand the troubles or fears of this world.

Even now that they have undergone gene expansion, the three of them still need to carry out later 'maintenance' due to congenital reasons.

Preia stood behind the captain's seat and asked Colonel Li, "How long will it take to get to point B?"

"About two hours."

the operator replied.

Li looked at Neo tentatively: "Do you think there will be a pursuit?"

"I don't know, but it is assumed that there will be because I don't know. It's not wrong to think about the bad all the time, especially on the battlefield."

While Preya was speaking, the one half-covered under the inorganic mask revealed an inhuman coldness.

[Colonel Preia, there is the latest order from the military! 】

"I'll come over now."

After Preya finished speaking, she turned to look at the trio, turned and floated towards the bridge.

——

At the same time, the battleship Minerva.

"I really don't know what to say to express my apology..."

Durandal said in his usual tact.

The captain of the ship, Thalia Kuradis, who was behind him, also helped to make amends.

"It was our negligence to involve you in such a situation, Princess, please bear with me."

Aslan and Cagalli were taken to the captain's room of the Minerva.

Although their identities were confirmed and guaranteed, Aslan couldn't help feeling depressed and complicated.

After paying so much price, in the end, peace was not able to stay with the world for a long time—

If this is the result of the once sacrificed and slaughtered battle, what is the meaning of the past pain and sacrifice...

For a time, the face of his father appeared in Aslan's mind.

Cagalli, who was sitting in front of Durandal, had a bandage on her head and lowered her head with a pale face, looking a little dazed.

"Are there still no clues about that unit?"

After a while, Cagalli finally couldn't help but ask.

Durandal was silent for a while after hearing the words: "Yes, after all, we even have ships..."

"At least there's no 100% clear evidence yet."

In fact, this sentence is very clear.

As long as you are not a fool, you will know where the forces behind it come from, but because there is no specific confirmation, it is impossible to say clearly now.

Even if you know that the Gadi Rue once served in the Atlantic Federation, the Gadi Rue has never been recorded in the Atlantic Federation military files.

In this case, even if everyone knows that this is the work of the Atlantic Federation, there is still no way to take it.

"Of course, we will also step up our pace to stabilize the situation, at least before the situation is irreversible, and all unstable factors will be strangled in the cradle."

At the end, Durandal's tone couldn't help but become a little heavy.

"Um."

A trace of remorse appeared on Cagalli's face, and she nodded firmly: "The world can no longer withstand any stimulation!"

Her hands were clasped on her knees as if in prayer.

The world is on the verge of equilibrium, and now it is just barely maintaining the balance of power on the table. Even a little stimulation will make this peace disappear in one breath.

Especially the contradiction between natural person and adjuster.

"By the way, if you don't dislike it, please visit our ship while there is still time!"

Durandal made an invitation to the two with enthusiasm as if to break the deadlock.

This time, it was Captain Thalia's turn to have a look of astonishment on his face.

"speaker…!"

She lowered her voice warning with Cagalli behind her back.

This ship is the latest warship of Zavot, of course it is a state secret, how can it be easily shown to foreign heads of state.

Even Aslan's eyes revealed that the Speaker's proposal was too rash.

Durandal, however, seemed poised.

"Although it is temporary, the princess has entrusted her life to us. As an ally, our country should also show due sincerity."

As soon as the Speaker said this, Captain Kuradis would not be able to object, otherwise it would be like denying this ally relationship.

Aslan couldn't understand this Durandal more and more.

Is he a pure personality? Or is there a deeper purpose behind it?

———

"Having said that, I still can't believe it! It just doesn't look real."

Leaning into the cockpit of Zaku's phantom, Vinuo sighed a little.

"yes…"

While typing on the keyboard, Yolan replied sullenly.

"Why did things suddenly turn out like this!"

Vino continued to spit bitterness at his compatriots, and Yolan also sighed sadly.

Before the launching ceremony was held, they were thrown into actual combat, and the crew was full of confusion, not to mention recruits like Vino or Yolan who had never experienced actual combat.

"However, shouldn't the war just start like this... what do you think?"

Vino lowered the volume and quietly sought Yolan's approval.

Yolan just shrugged and didn't answer.

Shin Asuka listened to the conversation between the two of them as he crossed the hangar.

War - His eyes became slightly gloomy.

This battle almost shattered his confidence.

Those who sneaked into the interior to capture MS were able to exert this kind of strength the first time they got on the machine. If it wasn't for the help of the two MSs this time, everything might have ended.

Thinking about it, his eyes glanced at the two Zaku phantoms that were still in maintenance not far away.

It is now known that one of the stations was driven by Captain Noel Cassia.

But the other one—

"Hey, do you know who drove that Zaku Mirage?"

Although there are some pimples in my heart, it is a fact that someone saved my life, at least I should thank them.

But they both tilted their heads and thought for a long time.

At this moment, a voice from behind shouted:

"It's the Ashar representative of Orb!"

The person who answered was Ray Zabarel.

"Eh?"

It was also the first time that Lunamaria had heard of this.

"Ashar of Orb?"

True Asuka thought he had heard it wrong.

At the same time, in the aisle of the ship.

Noel found Durandall and his party.

"Mr. Noel?"

Before Noel could speak, Durandal, who was leading the way, found Noel first, and said with a surprised expression, "I didn't expect you to be on the boat."

The tone of surprise was just right, as if he really just knew that Noel was on the battleship.

Nuoer was stunned for a moment, and said with a somewhat inexplicable expression: "Yes."

"Could it be that you are driving another Zaku Mirage?"

Durandal suddenly continued to ask.

Noel looked at Durandal, who was slamming upside down. He resisted the urge to punch him and said, "I am very sorry for violating the military regulations. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"The rules are dead, and people are alive. If it wasn't for Mr. Noel, the consequences of your righteous action would be unimaginable. I think those in the military would understand."

Durandal waved his hand generously, but Noel excused himself: "What do you think, Captain Thalia?"

"I'll explain when I submit a report to the military."

Talia looked at the performance of the two **** in front of her with mixed feelings.

But she couldn't help but cooperate with the show.

"In that case, thank you Captain Thalia in advance."

Noel felt bad for the whole person.

Obviously he came here to make trouble, but it turned out to be his own.

"Speaking of which, where is Captain Noel planning to go?"

Durandal continued to ask.

"Find a place to rest."

Noel replied.

"In that case, why don't you visit the battleship with us, it just so happens that you used to be acquainted with the princess."

Durandal asked Noel in an inquiring tone.

When Noel heard the words, he looked at Aslan and Kagali, and nodded after a little pondering.
