When Noel came to the hangar, Aslan was already waiting here.

"We...what's the matter with you? Did something happen?"

Aslan was about to say something, but found that Noel's expression was a bit wrong.

"Why do you ask?"

Noel was stunned.

"It's nothing, it's just that something is wrong with your face."

Aslan shook his head and said nothing.

"Is there?"

Noel touched his cheek when he heard the words.

But this was really rough, and I don't know what Lux's reaction was.

I don't think there will be any bad reactions...

No, what if...

It's not right, after all, it's Lux, with Lux's character...

But Lux is also a girl...

But I really have no experience...

"Um·····"

"Noel?"

Aslan had already come to the cockpit at this time, and when he looked back, he found that Noel was still standing still.

"What...when did you go up?"

Noel raised his head in astonishment, only to find that Aslan was already standing at the door of the cockpit.

Aslan smiled helplessly, turned around and went straight into the cockpit.

the other side.

Lux had already returned to the bridge at this time.

"Hey, did something good happen to our princess?"

Andrew noticed the change in Lux's expression for the first time.

When he learned that Noel had left, although Lux's expression didn't change much, he could still find some negative emotions.

But now—well, a woman's heart is needled.

"Yes, it's a good thing."

Lux smiled and walked to the seat and sat down.

Anyone with eyes could see that she was in a good mood.

"Um?"

Andrew felt a little strange looking at Lux's smile.

"Oh, it's really a good thing."

However, when he looked at Lux's palm on the dashboard of the seat, everything was clear.

"It's nice to be young—"

Inexplicably, Andrew thought of his past, really...

After hearing this, Captain Mariu also followed Andrew's line of sight to look at Lux.

The dazzling ring on the fingertips is particularly dazzling.

"Oh, it's really a good thing."

A smile appeared on Captain Maliu's face, and he couldn't help but feel happy for Lux and Noel.

She still remembers what Lux looked like when Noel left.

'What is this uncontrollable emotion in my heart—'

Lux's former self-doubt still lingered in her ears, but now - after so much, the two finally came to this point.

"Get up, set sail—"

With a sense of relief, Captain Maliu gave the order loudly.

————

early morning--

In the Indian Ocean, where the shadows of large and small islands are scattered, there is a huge warship floating.

That is the aircraft carrier of the Earth Alliance.

"This ship will set sail at O9:OO. The first combat configuration will be released. The maintenance squads will be on standby in combat status."

A broadcast sounded in the aircraft carrier, and all the fighter planes and pilots had also received the sortie order, and a tense atmosphere permeated the ship immediately.

On the bridge, Preia was talking to the person on the other end of the communication machine.

"You want me to send out all the Windhams on the team? What are you kidding me!"

The other party roared loudly, his tone full of suspicion.

It's a pity that in the face of the other party's roar, Preia just replied with cold eyes: "Please clarify, I am not requesting, but ordering!"

"What nonsense order, the order I received is to build a defensive stronghold against the Chuckantalia base. We are the troops sent to build the frontline base! The task has not been completed yet, how can you mobilize the MS...!"

"The enemy is all Zaft, isn't it? It's the same as fighting anyone. Also, you've had enough nonsense, so hurry up and send me the whole machine. If you have any questions, you can submit your comments directly to the army headquarters."

"But before the military order comes down, you have to listen to me!"

Preya hung up the communication directly after speaking.

He doesn't care about any **** bases, he is just looking for the closest friendly troops with MS that can be adjusted.

As for what the other party's mission is, it is not within his scope of consideration.

This is the prerogative of the Phantom Pain.

The Phantom Pain Commander only needs to bring the minimum required team members and equipment to the mission location, and the rest can be dispatched on the spot, even the ship type and soldiers are optional.

Of course, this is not absolute, after all, the phantom pain force is useless to some military leaders.

For example, some fleet commanders can only obey orders to those people, the Phantom Pain Unit.

If it is said that FAITH only has the right to expedient measures.

The phantom pain has the right to surpass the ordinary commanders on the front line.

"What about Chaos Gundam, Gaia Gundam and Abyss Gundam?"

Preya hung up the communication and asked the soldier next to him.

The MS controller immediately replied: "The whole machine has completed the preparation for the attack."

"Very good, this ship will stay where it is and don't move. I don't want to go back without a warship to do it."

After giving the order to the captain, Preia looked down at the screen again, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth under the mask: "We finally meet..."

There is a special heat pattern on the desktop screen, clearly marking the name of the Minerva.

"Let them attack immediately after the preparations are completed, and at the same time, Chuixue Shenyi No. 1 and No. 2 are ready to attack. This time, no one can save them."

After saying that, Prea turned around and walked straight out of the bridge.

Because the Atlantic Federation wants to ship an item to the Eurasian Federation.

The Phantom Pain trio were drawn out.

As for the other people, they were also dispatched to various bases for defense.

Now there are only five MSs on the battleship, including the expansion trio and Niya and himself.

But this amount was enough to sink Minerva to the bottom.

Soon, a broadcast sounded in the hangar, and the battleship door slowly opened.

"Chaos Gundam, please take your place..."

"Abyss Gundam, please take your place-"

"Gaia Gundam, please take your place—"

As the order was issued, the three MSs took off one after another.

However, Gaia Gundam jumped to the coast and was responsible for the base defense mission.

Except that Gaia Gundam can't fly, after all the MSs in the base are drawn, there must be something left for the person in charge of the base to feel at ease.

With the departure of the two MSs.

Fuxue Shenyi No. 1 and No. 2 also left the base one after another.

At the same time ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Chuck Thalia Base.

Considering the strength of Su Yinshi's garrison, Zaft stepped up his support this time.

The Minerva, which received orders from headquarters, departed from the Capantalia base along with the Nila and Cambu submarines.

In addition to the Minerva's fixed armament, and the six UMF/SSO-3 Esho that were standard on the two submarines, they also carried twenty AMA-953 Barbie Air Combat MSs.

AMA-953 Barbie is what Zaft used to replace the original Zaft Air Combat MS Dean. Not only do they have more powerful firepower, armor and flight speed than Dean, they are also deformable MS.

This is also the reason Talia chose to go to the Gibraltar base before Noel and Aslan arrived.

【Drop drop drop drop -】

"captain!"

However, just hours after setting sail, Barto, who was in charge of searching for the enemy, called out loudly in the sound of the siren.

At the same time, many spots of light appeared on the heat source detection screen in front of him, gradually approaching the Minerva.

Thalia looked at him in surprise.

The atmosphere on the bridge suddenly became tense.

"Thermal pattern vs. Windam - Quantity, fifty-five!"

When Barto shouted out the number, Thalia couldn't believe her ears.

"Fifty-five?"

This number of MS fleets is definitely not a fleet that happened to be sentinel nearby, but an enemy formation set up with the abacus of winning.

Barto's face stiffened, and he added:

"One of them is Chaos Gundam, Abyss Gundam!"

"Chaos Gundam, could it be that troop?"

For a moment, Thalia felt her heart tighten.

Unknown battleship——The troops of that mysterious battleship have also landed on the earth?
