Chapter 13 Unexpected Enlistment in the Army
Less than twenty minutes after entering the atmosphere, the White Fortress entered the combat state again.
The situation that everyone had been worried about happened without any suspense, and the North American front of the Gene army had already come to attack.
Although the warships have outstanding performance, it is obvious that the enemy generals are ready.
Captain Brad made a wrong judgment because he was tempted by the Gene Army's fighter force, which made Amro just drive a steel tank to attack. When the steel tanks were gaining the advantage, the enemy's tank troops that had already lurked were dispatched. In the end, Brad had to ask Amro to drive Gundam to attack.
Although it was the first time to fight in the atmosphere, Amro, who mastered superb skills in the fight with Charia, the ace pilot, quickly got used to fighting under gravity. Although he was temporarily suppressed by the firepower of the Gene's tank troops during the process, Amro finally used all his strength to defeat the Gene's tank troops.
Although Lenas was not on the bridge, she watched the entire battle through the TV inside the ship.
"Thank you for your hard work, Amro!"
Lenas saw Amro coming from afar and greeted him. However, after Amro approached, Lenas realized that the hero who had fought desperately just now was in a bad mood.
Amro glanced at Lenas and walked over.
"He looks very tired." Lenas thought, looking at Amro's back.
"Lenas, what's wrong?" At this time, a kind question suddenly came from behind.Lenas turned around and saw that it was Serra, and told her what she was thinking.
"Is that true!" Serra sighed, "I have always relied on him to fight, and it seems that it is still a bit difficult for me. After all, I am only fifteen years old!"
Lenas nodded in agreement.
Sera turned her head and said to Lenas: "After all, this is a warship. You are a folk person, so go back to your room and stay!"
Lenas nodded, but asked again, "When can I land? Miss Sera."
"Land?" Sera asked in confusion.
Renas replied, “I want to get off the boat soon.”
Renas wanted to step on the land she longed for and feel the breath of nature. However, Sera associated her with other folk people in the warship and thought: "It seems that she is also afraid of staying on this warship. But where can she go after she gets off the ship?"
Although I heard from Frabao that Renas no longer minds amnesia, there is still a difference between whether there is memory and whether he can live a life, especially in this war-torn era. For a teenage girl, no matter whether she has amnesia or not, she may not be able to live.
Sera thought carefully and finally combined reason and her own feelings, she came up with the answer. Sera, who had always felt guilt and gratitude for Lenas, had already turned this guilt and gratitude into responsibility. She had decided that she had to send Lenas to a safe place intact no matter what. Therefore, Sera did not intend to leave Lenas in Gene's control area.
Sera shirked: "About this, I'm afraid it's not possible yet, because this is the occupied area of Gene, and it's easy to be attacked if you stop rashly."
Lenas didn't feel anything unusual, so he simply answered "Oh".
In the next few days, the White Fortress did not encounter any attack from the Gene army, so the atmosphere on the ship became more relaxed invisibly.
Renas met the crew one by one in the past few days. In addition to Serra, Fra and Amro who had known each other, she also met the fat and short Hayato Kobayashi, the somewhat bad-looking Kai Seiting, the steady and brave Long Jose, the gentle but stern Mile Yajima, and the serious and cold-faced Brad Noah.
Just as Renas was getting used to life on the warship, an unexpected situation happened.
"What? Fra and the children were kidnapped?" Brad looked at Lenas and Sera in surprise.
The incident happened when Fra, Sera inspected the cabins where the people were. Most of the people were old people, and they were almost all forced to move to the universe by the federal government on Earth. Therefore, the grudges between them and the federal government have not been a day or two. This time they were able to return to the earth, which made them reluctant to return to the universe. But if they were riding this warship to the base of the federal army, things might not be as they thought. It was precisely because of this that they decided to force the warships to stop in violent ways so that they could get off the ship. In the end, they forced three children and Fra Bao, who was reluctant to leave these three children.
Although Sera escaped safely, she was actually released because someone needed to report to her superiors. Sera was worried about Lenas' safety, so she brought Lenas, who had been recuperating in the room on the way.
At this time, Lenas had already changed into a female military uniform, but she was different from Serra and Fra, two girls who had joined the Federal Army. She had to put on her military uniform just because she had not changed her clothes.
Brad, who heard about this, fell into deep thought. Before that, he had heard about the changes in the folk life, had already discussed with Lieutenant Lieutenant Lieutenant Lieutenant who was on the ship. Lieutenant Lieutenant wanted to keep the folks on the ground, but Brad insisted on sending the folks to the territory of the Federal Army.
Brad didn't expect that the folks he sympathized with would do such a thing this time.
In the end, Brad decided to rescue the hostages with Serra, Hayato Kobayashi and Kay Seiting, while the scheduled takeoff test of Amro's core fighter jet was carried out as usual.
Brad ran out of the bridge with his men, and Renas, a folk man, was about to follow the end. Just as she was about to step out of the bridge, she suddenly said "Wait a minute" and made her stop.
Lenas turned his head in confusion and looked at Lieutenant Liete who called her.
Lieutenant Liete pointed to the location of the communication center and said, "Everyone has left, there are not enough staff here, you are now acting as a communications soldier."
"Hey? Me?" Renas hesitated.
Lieutenant Liete's face changed and he shouted loudly: "Ass the orders, Private."
Lenas immediately reacted that Lieutenant Liete mistakenly thought she was the same recruiting soldiers as Fra and Sera.
Lenas was about to explain, but was suddenly interrupted by the alarm sound from the radar.
"What's wrong?" Lieutenant Liete became serious and muttered.
"A Gene fighter is approaching the core fighter jet," the radar control report said.
"What?" Lieutenant Liete understood the seriousness of the matter. Amro was just a recruit with two hours of combat experience. Needless to say, if he was driving Gundam, but now he was just a core fighter, he might not be so lucky.
When Lieutenant Liete saw that Lenas still had no reaction, he immediately started to get angry and shouted in a sharper tone: "If you don't want to die, go to your post."
Amro is the guardian of this warship. If he does not support Amro now and causes him to be injured or killed, then the warship will sink in the near future.
Because of Lieutenant Liete's angrily shout and the stimulation of "death", Lenas subconsciously ran to the communications operation table and brought up the headphones left by Sierra.
