X1 rift.

Since the appearance of the space rift that was born in the earth-shattering war that year, it has caused many space changes of different scales.

Every now and then, there will be some meaningless, useless rocky debris.

From time to time, there will be some lifeless, lifeless, strange-looking flesh and blood.

From time to time, there will be mysterious objects that even the most authoritative scientists can't analyze the source and root.

Although there are occasional good harvests, more often than not, the ZAFT fleet stationed in this space domain is not so much stationed as it is regularly cleaning this space domain.

Um,

To put it nicely, it is to defend against invaders who may rush out from the opposite side of the X1 crack.

To put it bluntly, it is a street sweeping brigade sent by ZAFT to clean up here.

"Tsk!"

This is not.

The ZAFT Fleet in charge of this area is the Jiuer team led by Yitzhak Jiuer.

"Save your energy, Yitzhak. No one here will watch your show!"

As Yitzhak's best friend and deputy for many years, Diego waved his right hand and said helplessly.

The scene in front of me has been staged countless times since the Jiuer team was sent here.

Here!

Didn't you see that there was already a small recess in the wall?

It is also difficult for Yitzhak to find the same position so accurately every day and smash it down hard.

Not to mention how embarrassing this would be for the damage control team, Diego felt a pain in his right hand just looking at it.

"This guy doesn't think this wall is someone's face?"

"Shut up! Diego."

After Yitzhak shouted violently, he immediately put away his right hand, shook it, and looked ahead coldly.

Seeing Yitzhak's appearance, Diego shrugged helplessly.

Who is this guy sulking at every day?

If Diego didn't speak, the other people on the bridge naturally didn't dare to speak.

After all, after staying in the Meier team for a long time, everyone knows that apart from Diego, there is only one other person who can persuade Yitzhak's irritable character.

Although Zaft was vigorously promoting the holy lion knight, in fact, many people knew the deeds of Yitzhak, Diego, Aslan and Nigel. Therefore, most people in the Meier team regarded Yitzhak's irritability at that time as an expression of unwillingness and anger after being refrigerated by Zaft.

"Shua!"

Just then, the automatic door to the bridge opened.

All eyes on the bridge immediately fell on the figure standing outside the door.

In the next second, the atmosphere that gradually became dignified due to Yitzhak's rage dissipated.

Because, the savior appeared.

"Huh? Wait! Captain Meier! You, your hand hurt?!"

Wearing a hairstyle similar to the traditional girl's hairstyle, the tall girl in red looked around the bridge, and locked on Yitzhak's right hand that was constantly oozing blood.

"Yes! Shihe. Your Captain Meier smashed the wall again! Look, this guy doesn't care about his right hand!"

As soon as Diego saw the appearance of the red-clothed girl, he made way for the space indiscriminately, and at the same time secretly contributed to the flames.

"Shut up! Diego! Is this the time to take care of such trivial matters?"

Yitzhak glared at Diego and scolded angrily.

Diego immediately pleaded guilty again and again.

"Yes! Dear Captain Meier. I will carry out the mission according to your order now!"

Diego went downhill, with a light touch on his feet, and with the help of microgravity, he flew to Shihe's side, and patted Shihe's shoulder the moment he passed by.

"I'm counting on you, Yitzhak! Shihe."

"Vice-captain! You just left like this?!"

Diego laughed.

"Who told me to still have investigation missions on me? Shihe, you can't let the injured Yitzhak attack with me, can you?"

"Diego! What are you dawdling about? The time is almost up!"

The moment the door closed, Yitzhak's angry voice came as expected, causing Diego to shake his head.

This guy, after so many years, is still so dishonest!

The so-called reconnaissance mission is nothing more than an enemy reconnaissance conducted in advance to contact the two support troops that are about to arrive here.

For Diego, a veteran of the battlefield, it is not a difficult task.

However, the name that appeared among the two fleets that came to support, let alone Yitzhak, even Diego would inevitably feel turbulent when he saw it.

Sara Fleet, Sacred Lion Fleet.

These are two powerful fleets specially set up to improve Zaft's combat effectiveness after launching the fate plan with Zaft, which can face most environments in the future battlefield.

They are different from the ZAFT fleet led by the captain in white in the past.

The Sarah Fleet and the Holy Lion Fleet are closer to the United Earth fleet, but they are different in details.

For example, they pay more attention to the delivery and combat capabilities of MS, and are more inclined to battlefield air defense and fire support. To a large extent, they transfer the battlefield lethality capability to MS, etc. according to ZAFT's speculation on the future battlefield. new restructuring.

Therefore, such important two fleets were handed over to Aslan Sara and the Knight of the Holy Lion who was promoted by the Supreme Council headed by Durandal.

The latter, of course, need not be said.

As for the former, the reason why Aslan-Sara was able to become the commander of the Sara fleet in one fell swoop, in the eyes of outsiders, is nothing more than the result of the Sara faction that still has a strong internal force in Zaft.

However, as the heir of the high-level internal officials of the Sara faction, Diego knows a lot of inside information.

However, these inside stories to some extent led to the reason why he and Yitzhak were dispatched to this almost garbage space to pick up garbage.

Diego, who woke up from his thoughts, realized that he was already standing in front of Zaku's phantom.

Taking the helmet from the maintenance crew next to him, Diego threw away all his thoughts, leaving only one thought.

"It doesn't matter! Think of it as meeting a long-lost best friend!"

Far above the geosynchronous orbit on the other side of the earth.

A mighty and high-morale space fleet is slowly breaking away from the shackles of gravity along the predetermined course, sailing towards the depths of the universe.

"The alpha engine output is normal. It is expected to enter the predetermined course in ten minutes."

"The energy shield is deployed normally, and the energy consumption is lower than one-third of the predetermined value."

"The ecological maintenance system is operating normally, and the energy consumption is less than half of the predetermined value."

"..."

One after another, the sound of reports filled the vast bridge.

This is the first space battleship designed and manufactured by the Britannian Empire since it officially stepped into the universe.

At the same time, as the flagship of the Empire's First Space Fleet, it is also a new space battleship named Avalon following the name of the flagship of the previous generation of the Empire.

This space battleship has successfully crossed the limit of 500 meters. With a total length of 680 meters and a size of more than 230 meters at its widest point, it has become the largest tonnage, the largest number of equipment and armaments, and the largest number of aircraft in the Imperial space fleet. The strongest battleship.

Therefore, it became the main battleship of this mission.

"General Veletta. I didn't expect you to be the commander of this new battleship!"

As one of the leaders of the empire's cutting-edge technology, Lloyd, who is also the designer of this brand new empire flagship Avalon, handed over the follow-up data monitoring work to Cecil, who is a capable team member, and then looked up at the standing in the sky. The tall figure next to the commanding officer's seat was empty.

"Your Excellency Lloyd. I am not the commander of this flagship. Strictly speaking, I am only an agent."

Wearing a cloak with the lion crest of the Empire's First Space Fleet tattooed on it, Veretta turned her head to look at Lloyd.

She was very aware of the character of this wicked doctor with extremely high talents, so she didn't want to continue talking with her.

However, the other party is also an insider of this mission, no, it should be said to be one of the key people who led to this mission.

Seeing Veletta's indifferent look, Lloyd knew he had stepped into a pit.

So he changed the subject.

"According to the monitoring records a week ago, there was an abnormal peak in the fluctuation of the X1 crack~lightnovelpub.net~ According to the data intercepted at that time, there will be a huge abnormal peak in 5-7 days."

"And according to the comparison of the data recorded in the past, this time the abnormal peak is very likely to be the phenomenon of matter passing through the X1 crack. Right? Dr. Lloyd."

When the door was opened, there was also a voice like the sounds of heaven.

Accompanied by the sound of rhythmic heavy footsteps, a woman wearing a lady's long dress of the imperial royal family and a mighty and majestic lion appeared on the bridge.

Their appearance immediately made everyone in the bridge stand up and salute in unison.

"On behalf of all members of Avalon, Veretta-Nu sends greetings to Earl Klein and Lord Saint Lion!"

"Say hello to Earl Klein, Lord Saint Lion!"

There was no snow-white male lion, but after shaking his head left and right, he walked to the commander's seat and waved his hand.

"Okay. You guys get on with your work!"

"Yes! Lord Saint Lion."

After driving the irrelevant people back to work, Xiongshi turned his head and looked at the woman who came with him.

"Lax. Is your arrangement in place?"

It turned out that the woman was the real Lacus Klein.

Over the years, she has been staying in the Britannian Empire, walking in the empire as a count granted by the current Empress Euphemia-LI-Britania.

Now, the woven results of years of walking will be fully presented before Lux's eyes.

"Of course! Whether it is now or before, they are enough to make people feel at ease."

Lux recalled the scene when she had face-to-face contact with Mia and Eric.

"Naturally. That's limited to the ally's position."
