After a 24-hour break, "Fortune" began to pursue the Zardo fleet... The pursuit process lasted a little longer, enough for everyone on board to do a lot of things.
Liz and Zhao Yun, the two guys who drove the super system, continued to laugh at the hard work of the rookies; like Leon, who was beaten to retreat by Kira in the previous battle, they carried out real machine training from time to time to improve the control of VF. -31 proficiency; experienced the most messy battle in his life, Sima Yi, who thought that he was to blame as the commander, began to organize everyone to practice tactics for the sake of shame; Patrick dumped the blame that he did not win Give "Chi Angel Gundam no beam saber", so I went back to "Gundam 00 World" and forced the MS team of AEU to equip Chi Angel Gundam with a GN beam saber; Kalod exerted extraordinary adaptability and was accustomed to working in zero gravity. The MS battle in the environment; Morgana finally gave the Thunder Gundam to Ada, and took over the VF-31 that originally belonged to Ada, and had a great time; Cagalli wanted to return to Orb, but was called by Leeds The mouthpiece is convinced and quiet for a while; Nigall might be a nice guy, but he's not on Leeds' list of relationships, so go with it...
But business seems to be coming sooner than expected.
"Is it aware that we are chasing them, and deliberately seduce us to come here? That is to say, what can be used here?" Liz, sitting on the captain's throne, made a final final call to all the fighting spirits ready to attack. remind.
"I still say the same thing. As soon as I found something wrong, I immediately summoned and put on a steel battle suit. As long as the cockpit is not placed directly in front of other people's cannons, the VF-31 will survive the bombing." Maybe it will be able to survive in the future. Let the maid team remodel the cabin, and let the little friends wear steel suits to directly control the body, but it can't be done yet, it can only be used as a response to emergency escape.
"—Not much nonsense, Yellow Turban thief, attack!"
…
Given that the Nazca-class ship and the "God of Fortune" have almost the same maximum speed, it is a simple problem to follow up. If there is no accident, the location of their next battle will be at Zado's base camp.
However, an accident happened - in order to mourn the victims of the "Scarlet Valentine's Day Incident", PLANT (the country of the Zardo Army) sent a consolation group to the ruins of the satellite "Junius 7", and the consolation group was captured on the way. Entering the military conflict between the Zardo Army and the Federal Army, the ship Silver Wind issued a distress signal.
It is not clear whether the Zardo Army calls itself "the people's army", but there is still "Lacus Klein" in the Solace Corps, an idol-level peace ambassador known as "the first songstress", even if Cruze is no longer willing , I still have to take a detour to save people... Well, people are saved, Aslan's fiancee is alive and well, but this detour also caused them to be caught up by "God of Fortune".
"Captain Cruze, please let me drive the Strike Gundam!" The time was shared, a group of people from Leeds trained for a wave, and Aslan also took advantage of this time to leave the hospital bed.
"I also think Aslan-kun is the most suitable for you to drive," Cruze smiled and looked at Aslan, who seemed to be close to his fiancée, but actually needed Lux to take care of him to a certain extent. " But your body obviously can't support driving MS..."
If you want to withstand the impact of acceleration when manipulating MS, you have to train for another month and a half, right? This still takes into account the physical condition of the adjuster.
"But...!" Aslan gritted his teeth.
His best friend got on the Assault Gundam to save himself, and came here like a snare, and now he is participating in the battle to protect himself. Aslan felt extremely guilty.
Cruzer shook his head, "Unfortunately, I don't have much time to communicate with you now... That's not an opponent that can be neglected."
Cruze, who was cut off in the previous battle, can only be the commander on the bridge today, and ordered: "The opponent's manipulation skills are very general, remember to use the floating objects everywhere! Attack!"
(—Kira Yamato, Strike Gundam, strike!)
…
(The Confederate battleship has appeared on the radar, what is the pressure of the ion container?)
"It hasn't reached 3% yet, I can only barely reach the maximum pressure, but I will find a way."
(Well, please, Aina.)
"Yes, brother."
After Aina left the sanctuary in Heliopolis, she was unable to contact Shirou Amada, and had to return to the Principality of Zeon on a transport boat with regret... The journey was smooth, and events like "Scarlet Valentine's Day" were rare after all. , Generally speaking, the three major forces will not deliberately launch attacks on civilians. However, she arrived in Zeon almost at the same time as the information provided by Zardo, "Aubu is developing new Gundams and battleships for the Federation", so she could not be spared any time.
It is impossible to share the technical information of the new Gundam. Zado just wants Zeon to deal with the Archangel. The so-called "strategic partner" is almost this kind of relationship. And the Principality of Zeon really had no choice. In order to intercept the Federation's new warships, they even sent a new MA "Apsalas" developed by Aina's older brother Kinias Sakhalin that was still in trial production— The core armament is a super-powerful high-energy MEGA particle cannon, which has the huge power to destroy a military base with solid fortifications in one blow; it lacks flexibility, but it uses the Minovsky particle aircraft technology to sprint at an amazing speed. Easily break through the enemy's line of defense; armor technology has not broken through, but the defense is barely strengthened through thickened armor.
Admittedly, the current Apsaras is still very flawed, but its potential is already evident. Once the phase-shift armor technology is applied, unless it encounters the X Gundam that can launch satellite microwave guns and the unreasonable group of martial-arts Gundams on the earth, it can completely carry the firepower of the enemy MS troops and destroy it in the rear. The battleship will instantly change the pattern of the battlefield.
However, whether Apsaras will be mass-produced and become a common model of Zeon in the future, it is a distant matter. It is currently only a trial work, and only Aina who has been undergoing special training can drive it. It is for this reason that Aina, who was once regarded as a dead man, was immediately assigned to the mission of "Intercepting the Archangel" as soon as she returned to her hometown.
(The cable is ready to unlock, is it ready?)
"Anytime." Hearing the liaison officer's voice, Aina held the control levers on the left and right with both hands.
Apsaras is the hope of Kynias, the means to realize the dream of revival of the Sakhalin family. Aina's thoughts are a little different. She originally just wanted to help her brother, but the encounter with Shirou Amada made her look forward to the end of the war after completing Apsaras... She is not naive enough to think that the war can be won indiscriminately. The negative form was over, and since that was the case, she could only try to make the Principality of Zeon win.
But in the end, what she hopes to see is a peaceful world like the paradise seen on Heliopolis.

"—Aina Sakhalin, Apsaras, strike!"
…
After rushing out of Heliopolis, Shirou Amada discussed with Mu La Frada and decided to go to the nearest military fortress of the Earth Federation Forces, "Altaimis", which is known as "Altaimis". The energy shield defense system of the "Umbrella of Mies", it should be no problem to retreat to protect the Archangel.
The best result is naturally that Artemis supplements the manpower and MS troops, and the Archangel departs for the Federal Army Headquarters Atlantic Base on Earth. Abacus, leaving the Archangel in Artemis is also an option... At any rate, it has been delivered to the Federal Army, and the rest of the big figures are fighting each other. Anyway, a captain and a second lieutenant are not eligible to participate.
However, Zardo's fleet was driven back by Liz and the others, but Zeon's fleet stopped in front—
"Hey, only Captain Mu can't stand it! Can't the red one still attack?" Shirou Amada, who ran from the bridge to the engine room, shouted the opponent's maintenance staff who were busy.
Before the Archangel rushed out of Heliopolis, two prototype machines and related parts were moved indiscriminately. The maintenance staff worked overtime to adjust along the way. The blue heresy machine was already driven by Mu and rushed out to fight, and it is still there The red heresy remains.
"Unless you want to fight with the Vulcan Cannon with your fists and feet, it will take another half an hour!" The maintenance personnel who were already doing their best to repair the beam rifle and beam saber, regardless of whether the other party was the acting captain, shouted in a loud voice.
"Half an hour?! Go on like this, and within five minutes we will be killed by a big headless tortoise!" Apsaras looks like this, Amada Shirou didn't make a mistake, "... wait, I was earlier When I checked the parts, wasn't there a real Japanese sword?!"
"You mean 'Juyi character'? Hey, do you really want to use that thing to fight, I can't guarantee anything!" He is just a basic maintenance technician, not a design engineer of Gundam. Confidence!
"I can manage so much at this time! Help me prepare!" Amada Shirou hurriedly floated into the cockpit of the red heresy machine.
"During the battle, I was cut off by Zeon's MS beam saber, I don't care!"
The mechanic yelled to get his job done quickly.
"- Amada Shirou, the red heretic, attack!"
