Artemis.
The Artemis Asteroid Fortress was built in 1935. Although this satellite fortress was judged to have no strategic significance from a military strategic perspective, it was equipped with a light wave barrier called the "Artemis Umbrella".
Because of this, it got the title of indestructible and unsinkable.
Although after the war between ZAFT and the Earth began, this satellite fortress, located in the L3 space domain, was still judged by ZAFT as having no strategic significance. Fortunately, it avoided ZAFT's series of attacks in the universe.
plan.
However,
That's where the luck ends.
As the Archangel, pursued by the ZAFT fleet, fled in panic to the area where this satellite fortress was located, the countdown to its fall had already begun to beat.
Facing Artemis with its "umbrella" unfolded, the Kamoka Lorathia-class battleship also had a headache.
Because ZAFT learned the information that the Earth Alliance was secretly developing mobile suits and battleships in Orb's neutral colonial satellite, and then Rau Lu Cruse openly let his side ignore the situation inside the colonial satellite.
After the mobile suit used heavy firepower equipment inside the colonial satellite, which eventually led to the collapse of the colonial satellite, a recall order was immediately issued, allowing Cruze to return to the homeland for questioning.
Similarly, those who followed him back to his homeland were Aslan Sala.
In order to continue to pursue the Archangel, Rau Lu Cruze deliberately left behind the Kamoka Lorathia-class battleship to pursue the target.
However, facing the "umbrella", the three people left behind, Yitzhak, Diego and Nicol, were in trouble for a moment.
Moreover, the captain of the Kamoka also admitted that with the current strength, even if the main fleet of the ZAFT fleet arrives, it will not be able to break through the "Umbrella" defense in a short time and capture it.
After some discussion, Nigel seemed to have an idea.
"If it's my Thunder, there should be a way to break through the umbrella's defense."
——————
"One Lorathia-class ship, start retreating!"
Located on the right side of Artemis, in an area with some floating rubble, the Polaris, which was running at full speed, finally caught up and discovered the retreating Loracia class.
Seeing this, Feng Yun touched his chin and looked at He Ming out of the corner of his eye.
"Captain, now is not a good time to attack."
He Ming naturally knew what Feng Yun was thinking.
"But this Loracia class is about to run away. After it leaves, Artemis's umbrella should also be closed."
Feng Yun sighed.
"Although I have heard about Artemis's ruthlessness before, I didn't expect that when I really have to face this big rock, I will feel a headache. Presumably, the Lorathia-class ship knows how difficult the "Umbrella" is.
Will you decide to retreat?"
"No. That's not a retreat! Captain."
He Ming smiled.
Feng Yun was stunned and looked at He Ming.
"Colonel again, your intuition?"
A mysterious light flashed in He Ming's eyes.
"No. It's not intuition, it's just intelligence."
"Intelligence? Colonel, do you think there is a way to capture the "Umbrella" on that Lorathia-class ship?"
"Well, probably! Let's just wait and see!"
He Ming turned around and walked out of the bridge.
"Captain, pay more attention! Although there is only one Lorathia class, it may be equipped with a new mobile suit developed over the Atlantic!"
When Feng Yun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay! Colonel, do you also want to participate in the attack?"
"Um."
At the same time, Artemis, who was investigating the Archangel, also received the news.
Artemis Commander Major General Garcia looked calm.
This is a natural result.
Under the protection of the "Umbrella", even if ZAFT's main fleet comes here, it will not be able to break through the "Umbrella" defense in a short time.
The protection of the "umbrella" is indestructible!
However, right now, he still has a little trouble to solve.
The mobile suit carried by the Archangel seems to have been encrypted.
Now that ZAFT's side has retreated, there is no longer a need for him to continue to pay attention to the enemy's movements.
Next, it’s time to solve the MS problem.
When Garcia led people to the Archangel to find the pilot who could activate the mobile suit, Malu, Bucky Lulu, and Mu were separated and locked in a certain room, waiting anxiously for the so-called
The results are out.
However, in this increasingly quiet atmosphere, Malu felt more and more anxious. In order to relieve the atmosphere, Malu moved her lips and finally asked.
"Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu. Can I ask a question?"
"Captain. Excuse me."
Natal Baqilulu nodded slightly, she could see that Malu wanted to relieve her anxiety.
"Before, um, before, when you guys found out that Kira was driving the Strike Gundam, you didn't seem to object to him boarding the Strike Gundam."
Malu remembered the rendezvous with the Archangel, and after Kira boarded the Archangel in the Strike Gundam, when the surrounding crew members learned of Kira's adjuster identity, Natal Bakiruru was the first
One stood up, stopped the crew's actions, and affirmed Kira's contribution to piloting the Strike Gundam, thus preventing the Strike Gundam from being robbed.
"No. This is nothing."
Natal Bakirulu shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"It's just that I saw some things not long ago."
"thing?"
Malu could tell that there seemed to be a story hidden in Natal Bakirulu's emotion.
"Well. Things. If those can still be called things."
Natal Baji Lulu lowered her gaze, preventing Malu and Mu from seeing her eyes.
Because, not long ago, she relied on her family connections and learned some news from certain channels, which refreshed her understanding of the unity of the earth.
Under those slogans that clamor to protect the blue sky of mankind, there are hidden dirt and heinous crimes that are unknown to everyone.
Looking at the news about those who rob children all over the world, or adopt children, and finally treat these poor children as randomly discarded experimental subjects,
Looking at the pieces of horrific information in my hands that had been recorded by interested parties but could never be made public,
Natal Baji Lulu's sky almost collapsed.
Born in a military family, and having been regarded as the future military seed by her elders since she was a child, Natal Baqilulu, who had devoted everything to cultivate her, at this moment, after witnessing the information, she actually had an idea.
A sense of collapse that I don’t know why I’m fighting.
Sitting feebly on the chair, looking at the information placed haphazardly on the table, Natal Bakilulu looked at the ceiling in a daze.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of that day on the cold road, when the man looked at the girl he carried back from the bush with his own hands. His eyes did not show the hostility of the monster, nor did he regard the girl as a monster.
There is only pity and warmth in the coldness of grass and grass.
Even when he was next to the girl who would attack everything around her crazily from time to time due to stimulation, that person would always try his best to control the force without hurting the girl, and wait for the girl to calm down.
"I'm afraid, at that time, or perhaps earlier, that person already knew the dirt and evil hidden behind the glory of the Earth United!"
"The blue sky is stained by the adjuster! We must protect this piece of blue sky! Therefore, the adjuster is a monster and an unforgivable existence!"
"However, the Earth Alliance, as a natural person, has secretly extended its evil hands to innocent children and used various experiments to train these poor and innocent children into cold murder weapons."
As he allowed countless thoughts to attack his body and the outlook on life he had established under the guidance of his elders since childhood, a deafening cheer came from not far away.
"What is it? What happened?"
For some reason, Natal Bakilulu stood up uncontrollably, walked to the window, looked outside, and found a group of people cheering around a TV set on the street.
"Recently... our country... has successfully operated a solar power generation system... allowing production lines to recover... since the spread of neutron jammers..."
"Solar power generation system?!"
Vaguely, Natal Bakirulu seemed to have heard news about the East Asian Republic.
Suddenly, Natal Bakilulu turned around, picked up the contact device that was covered with many documents on the desktop, and dialed a number.
"Hello, uncle. It's me, Natal Bakirulu. Well, I seem to have heard a rumor recently."
Natal Bakilulu suddenly felt her voice trembling.
Because, a guess seemed to have arisen in her heart.
"Yeah! Yes. Solar power generation system... Oh, yes. Just a momentary curiosity. Well, my injury is almost healed. Thank you for your concern, uncle!"
After hanging up the phone, Natal Baqilulu put down the communicator, only to find that her hands seemed to be trembling.
This is not fear!
Instead, he was so excited that he was shaking uncontrollably.
"You...even after knowing the dirt, you still insist on believing in mankind? And do you also bring a ray of hope to mankind?"
Looking down, he saw the information scattered on the table.
Natal's eyes flashed, and she quickly collected the documents, threw them into the shredder, and then took out the iron bucket containing the shredded paper.
As the match struck with Natal's finger, the flame quickly flooded the inside of the iron barrel.
In the firelight, Natal Bakilulu seemed to see her own face.
I saw the face of someone who wanted to see that person again and asked him what he thought face to face.
After that, Natal Bakirulu gradually noticed a slight change in herself and the United Earth soldiers around her.
And these changes, when Natal Bakilulu saw Kira stepping off the Strike Gundam, involuntarily drove Natal Bakilulu to make the decision to recognize Kira.
"boom!!!"
Natal Bakilulu's thoughts were torn apart by a violent shock.
"Enemy attack?!"
Natal Bakilulu stood up suddenly, her eyes lit up with a bright light!
"ZAFT's attack is coming!"
"What?!"
Mu and Ma Liu didn't seem to have reacted yet.
"Major Mu! We must seize the opportunity and get out of here!"
Natal Bakirulu is not willing to sit still and wait for death.
Because, if this continues, there is no way she will meet that person again!
