Exercise day.
The A-Laws fleet originally stationed in Gibraltar is now sailing in the vast North Atlantic Ocean, and Li Xia and Ed stand side by side on the spacious flagship bridge.
"What's the point of this exercise now?" Ed asked in a low voice, "Don't tell me when Camus doesn't come, and he didn't even bring a banshee. Is it just to waste energy and consumables? Military spending is also taxpayer. Wouldn’t it be better to cancel the money instead of burning it?”
"This is a joint military exercise with the imaginary purpose of destroying the apostles. How can you cancel it if you say it's cancelled? Do you think it's child's play?" Xia said unhappily, "Lingus, are you advocating something to Camus again? Now, he has no reason to reject me."
"Don't put the black pot on my head, maybe your personality is not as attractive as you think?" Ed said indifferently, "You believe so much, the second goal of the apostle must be Gibraltar?"
“Historically speaking, the Gibraltar base existed at the very beginning of the federation. Geographically speaking, it is the closest military base to Dakar. From the apostolic point of view, coastal bases are easier to attack than inland bases. "Xia Ya smiled smugly, "This is something that can be easily deduced, Lingos, it seems that your IQ is nothing more than that."
Ed thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "The reason is too far-fetched, I can't accept it."
"It doesn't matter if you accept it or not, the facts will prove me right." Char said confidently, "The apostles will be destroyed before entering the Strait of Gibraltar, and even if they are accidentally defeated at sea, it is more convenient to use than inland. nuclear strike, and this joint exercise will be the bridgehead for mankind to counterattack the Apostles - under my leadership."
"Even at the expense of dragging Britannia into the water?" Ed asked rhetorically, "To establish your status as a global leader?"
"Don't spit, Lingos." Xia Ya glanced at Ed with a teasing look, "I thought Queen Nanali insisted on participating in order to take the opportunity to have a private meeting with you? Don't forget that she is NT, so am I, your sophistry is meaningless."
Ed's admiration for Nanali's tenacity to try to block him at every opportunity, while being powerless over her disruptive behavior. In order to make Nanali feel a little better, he also gave Tai Gundam as a gift, but did not see any improvement.
"Lingus, have you thought about another question?" Xia suddenly showed a half-smiling look, "Why do you think I have to bring you? I'm afraid you don't believe the consultant's reason."
"...To figure me out?"
"No, in order to prevent others from plotting against me." Char said meaningfully, "The exercise was arranged today because of my judgment that the apostles could not be here soon, but even I will have judgments. When mistakes are made, your presence is necessary for that."
Ed was alert. "What are you implying?"
"Sometimes it's part of the fun to come up with the answer yourself, Lingus, don't you think?" Xi Ya smiled very strangely, "I look forward to your wonderful reasoning, even if you lose your NT ability, I hope you haven't lost the ability you once could. Excellent insight into the truth at a glance."
"Mr. Covatello." The bridge staff not far away gave a standard military salute, "Our army has arrived at the designated location, and the Britannia fleet has not yet merged, please instruct."
"Stand by where you are." Xia said solemnly, "It's time for me to prepare for the attack."
"Wait." Ed's eyes widened in surprise. "You? Attack?"
"Camu was bewitched by you and refused to join the army. Amuro's transfer order was just issued yesterday, and NT must play a key role in the exercise." Xia gently pulled the collar, "Don't forget that I once Amuro played ACEs back and forth."
There are too many grooves, and Ed doesn't know where to vomit, so he can only choose to shut up obediently, and silently watch Xia Ya turn and leave the handsome back.
After a while, Xin'anzhou, painted in red, attacked smoothly and hovered silently above the sea. In the cockpit, Xia, who had already changed into a driver's suit, finally couldn't help laughing: "Siegel was just like that back then. It's too naive for a clever little girl to try to trick me."
Yes, from the very beginning, Char had expected that the location that Lux gave him was true but the time was false, and he even expected that Lux would take advantage of this military exercise to recruit the apostles in advance to try to kill with a knife. So he continued to conduct the military exercise according to the plan, and did not ask Lingos to go with him until the last moment. The moment he learned that the plan was broken, Lux's shocked expression still clearly appeared in front of his eyes.
Lingus is Lux's biggest weakness. As long as he acts with Lingus in the name of a consultant from beginning to end, Lux can't make any substantial waves at all. The only accident in this military exercise was that Queen Nanali volunteered to participate, and even brought her own dry food - just in case, the nuclear warheads used against the apostles were supplied by Britannia free of charge.
"Judging from the results of the last test, Nanali's motives against Lingos are not fake. The stinky kid has some scheming, but it stops there." Xia thought comfortably, "Help me save my life. I have to thank Lingos for the money for the bomb."
Nearly there is Nanali sticking the nuclear bomb upside down, Anaheim dispatching Gundam far away, and Lingos is helpless on the side Lux, Amuro unicorn will be transferred to Gibraltar soon, he Xi Ya wants to break his head. How to lose if you don't come out, the future of replacing Mathenas as the Prime Minister of the Federation, unifying the earth circle, and leading all mankind is clearly visible.
"The only turning point is that Lux forcibly attracted the apostles and made Lingos and I die together, but no matter what, she won't be so mad about her husband—" Her thoughts came to an abrupt end, and an alarm bell rang out in Xia Ya's mind. ,"what's the situation?!"
"Mr. Covatello!" An eager voice sounded on the friendly channel, "I detected an approaching unknown object, I will send you the image immediately, please give instructions!"
After a few seconds, a blue regular octahedron appeared on the cockpit display. The appearance of the octahedron is as smooth as a mirror. From a distance, it looks like a large exquisite handicraft without any aggressive appearance.
"I remember that this thing was given by Lingos, it's definitely an apostle." Xia Ya tried to keep his composure despite the waves of crises in his mind, and thought bitterly, "A vicious woman, still It's so cold-blooded that you don't even spare your husband?"
"It's Thunder Angel!" Ed's voice sounded immediately, "Covatro, let everyone retreat immediately, the farther the better, use the nuclear bomb to solve it!"
"What are you kidding, how can you retreat without fighting?" Xia Ya scolded sharply, "What's the face of A-Laws? What's the face of the Federation? What's the face of my Cobatro Bagina? If everything is solved directly by throwing nuclear bombs, What is the significance of the formation of the NT force?"
As soon as the voice fell, the blue regular octahedron on the screen suddenly changed. Like a high-dimensional geometric pattern unfolding in a low dimension, the octahedrons are exaggeratedly spread out. After a dizzying and precise reorganization, they finally become a complex three-dimensional figure formed by the mosaic of multiple cubes of different sizes. The geometric figures are separated up and down, and in the center is a small red bead.
"I can't wait to expose the weakness. Sure enough, the apostle has no IQ?" Xia Ya moved his knuckles eagerly, and his grip on the operating lever tightened a bit, "With the performance of Xin'anzhou, say Not sure…”
Under Char's gaze, the red orb suddenly began to glow so rapidly that even the sky seemed to darken. Relying on NT's intuition for many years, Xi Ya instinctively moved to the left, and the next moment, a dazzling beam of light brushed across the sea. The huge heat instantly evaporated the sea water and raised the water vapor in the sky, and Xin'anzhou's right arm and right leg were damaged to varying degrees.
"Mr. Covatello, a ship is broken!" The flagship shouted again, "Please give instructions!"
"The whole army retreats and spreads out the formation!" Xia ordered immediately, "Inform Britannia that our army will launch a nuclear bomb as soon as it reaches a safe distance! ... Oops, there seems to be a problem with the communication equipment, and each ship is autonomous. avoid!"
After he finished speaking, he turned off the communication device and put his full attention on the MS driving. The destination of the apostles was not unexpectedly Gibraltar, which was due east. Without even thinking about it, Xi Ya steered Xin'anzhou to the north at full speed.
Thunder Angel sensed NT, and made two more shots in the direction of Xin'anju, but they were all escaped by Xia Ya dangerously and dangerously. Fortunately, Angel of Thunder was very obsessed with what Gibraltar didn't know, and after two shots, he gave up Char and moved on. The originally mighty and majestic fleets fled in the blink of an eye, looking like iron coffins from a distance.
"Although I'm very sorry, I would like to ask you to attract some firepower for me." He glanced back at the direction of the friendly forces and breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, I took the initiative to get on the plane and attacked in advance, and it seems that I can escape safely. Siegel, It seems that your daughter is far inferior to mine in terms of wisdom and luck."
Just in case, Xiaya flew north again for a while, and didn't stop slowly until he was sure that he was completely safe. There is an endless sea on all sides, and only his MS hovers alone above the sea.
"As expected of the unicorn's front-end body, the performance of Xin'anzhou is really excellent." He finally couldn't help laughing out of the rest of his life, "There is no NT in the fleet, according to the firepower and range of Thunder Angel, it should be estimated by now. It's been wiped out, it's time to contact Britannia for a nuke."
The moment he saw Thunder Angel fire, he judged that with the current armed resistance, it must be the end of complete destruction. Such a terrible range may not even be able to escape, so he immediately made the decision to survive. Throwing away friendly troops as bait or something is even more familiar, picking up the old habit of the one-year war.
"The only pity is Lingos. His knowledge can be used even more. But even if he dies, he saves the effort of political struggle with the moon, and just brings Minerva back." Ya thought happily while turning on the communication device, "A ruthless woman can even handle her own husband, and she must find a chance to deal with it after she returns, and the secrets of her body need to be dug up."
As soon as the communication equipment was turned on, before he could contact the base, a young voice sounded on the public frequency: "Excuse me, is it Mr. Cobatro Bagina in Xin'anzhou? This is the hub of Britannia. Wood Suzaku, we have received your army's report on the apostles."
"It's just in time, please prepare to launch a nuclear bomb immediately, and make sure not to let the apostles enter the Strait of Gibraltar." Xia looked at the small point on the edge of the map, which was approaching at a high speed, and let out a sigh of relief. Zhili, "By the way, how did you find me?"
"I see you, the one in the black MS is me." As he spoke, a dark MS appeared in the field of vision, rapidly growing in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, "His Majesty Nanali is on a personal expedition, it is His Majesty's perception. to your location."
"It seems that my luck is really good." Xia Ya smiled with relief. "There are no people in the area. Although Xin'anzhou is a nuclear power machine, I don't know how long it will take to fly back to the inland like this."
"Yes, your Majesty Nanali's luck is indeed good. You flew to a place where there is no human footprint, and you happen to be a low-level NT. You can't perceive your majesty and can only be perceived by your majesty." The black MS finally flew to the vicinity of Xin'anzhou. "Long time no see... Mr. Foul Frontal."
"Shumu-kun, what do you mean?" Xia Ya was suddenly alert, and immediately tried to contact the base via satellite, "... The concentration of Minovsky's example exceeds the standard? Is Britannia going to rebel?!"
"The person who sold Mr. Lingos and ran away deserves to die. Just treat me as a mad woman who avenged her sweetheart." A nice female voice resounded in Xia Ya's mind, "This MS in front of you is a The toy that Mr. Lingus gave me after I ascended the throne to try to calm my emotions, you can try to resist, Char Aznabu, aren't you a red comet?"
Feeling the boundless killing intent and malice that came over her perception, Xi Ya gritted her teeth and roared "Nanalie Vi Britannia!", Xin Anzhou raised his gun and shot at the same time.
The God of Hell opened his wings with a swipe, flashed his scythe, dipped his body to avoid the shooting, and suddenly charged towards Xin'anzhou. Xia Ya just subconsciously twisted the fuselage relying on NT's intuition, and was cut into two pieces with lightning speed. Even the ejected cockpit was caught by Hell Death at a faster speed.
Suzaku controlled the body to exert a slight force, and the spherical Zhou Tian cockpit was immediately squeezed into an irregular shape, and the hatch was completely sealed and could not be escaped.
"Impossible..." Xia Ya was still immersed in the shock of the second, "A mere ACE goalkeeper, how is it possible..."
"I don't publicize Suzaku's record in the coup in the capital just to be useful one day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. By the way, you don't know that Mr. Lingos is immortal, right? He even has an AT position. , It's okay to say that he is a member of the apostles." Nanali laughed happily in his mind, the laughter was so harsh, "Look at you, you don't know anything, who else do you want to plot?"
"What are you arresting me for?" As expected of Xia Ya, he calmed down in just a few breaths, "There's nothing we can't talk about, we can make a deal."
"I'm a woman and an NT. I don't like to deal, I only like to be emotional." Nanali said cheerfully, "The person who hurts my brother is unforgivable, so the person who hurts Mr. Lingus is unforgivable, you see, very simple Makes sense, right?"
Xia Ya had a headache. What he was most afraid of was the unreasonable female NT.
"So your treatment has been decided," Nanali said grimly. "Cobatro Bagina must die here today."
