Mi Lai didn't know whether Xiao Ran was telling the truth or a lie. He said it was a lie, but looking at Xiao Ran's face, he looked so indifferent. He felt like he was swearing at the first glance. If he said it was true, it was revealed in Xiao Ran's words. The information is too shocking and terrifying. As long as a little bit is revealed, their ship will immediately become a target for both the Earth Federation and the Zeon Army, and it will instantly be involved in the center of the battle between the two forces.
Among the three girls, Mi Lai's thoughts are mature. He can think of more things than Artesia and Frau. He also knows that he has no other choice but to join. , I had no choice but to smile bitterly in my heart.
Xiao Ran looked at the three of them and clapped his hands gently: "We still have nearly two hours. You can get familiar with the work of the bridge here to avoid being in a hurry in the event of a battle."
As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, Captain Jeffrey took over: "Monica, I'll leave the three of them to you."
"Okay, Captain." The orange-haired girl in the bridge trio smiled and nodded, while Monica also admired Captain Jeffrey in her heart. After Captain Jeffrey finished speaking, he responded and walked towards Artesia and the other three.
Monica squinted slightly when she smiled, and looked gentle and easy to talk to. Compared to Xiao Ran, in the eyes of the three girls, Monica seemed easier to get along with.
While Monica was taking the three of them to familiarize themselves with the equipment in the bridge, Xiao Ran also looked at everyone in the Skeleton Team, including Jigus and Nalo, starting with Ozma. After looking at several people one by one, Xiao Ran groaned and spoke slowly: "Currently, it is certain that six machines have been obtained. In order to ensure that the six machines can exert the maximum combat power, we will give priority to those who are not currently available. Driving under the influence.”
What Xiao Ran said about not being affected was naturally referring to the weakening of Prometheus. Among the current team, Naluo, Elf, and Jigus. Rukino Saki, including him, Xiao Ran, were not in the most perfect condition. But several members of the Skeleton Team are different. They joined this mission world as newcomers, and their attributes were not suppressed in any way. Instead, due to their own talents, after being digitized by Prometheus, each of them had their own abilities. A lot of enhancements have been made due to digitization, the most direct of which. It is a direct reflection of skills.
Among the five members of the Skeleton Team, Ozma and Brela are certainly the two with the best driving skills, followed closely by Art and Michelle, and finally Luca, who is responsible for auxiliary investigation.
The decision to let Rukino Saki pilot the Gundam was just to ensure safety. Elf was not a suitable pilot, so it was necessary to replace the two and select someone else to take over.
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and realized that the total of six machines was just enough for the skeleton team and the six of him. But you have to think about who pilots which machine. After looking at Alt and then at Ozma, Xiao Ran nodded and said, "I will pilot one of the six machines myself, Alt. Brera, you guys take over Elf and Rukino Saki's machines."
Xiao Ran asked Art, whose driving skills were slightly inferior to Ozma's, to drive a Gundam. This was also because Art was more impulsive during battles. Driving a Gundam was safer in terms of safety. Brela's driving style was also quite good. The aggressive, dash-and-sweep combat style of piloting your Gundam is all about safety. Combat effectiveness can also be greatly guaranteed.
As for Ozma. It is more stable than young people. Even when driving the Zaku II, there is no problem as long as you are careful, and it can be used directly now. There is only one Zaku II.
As for young Shota Luca, Xiao Ran felt that it would be safest for the boy to stay on the bridge. In addition to the fact that Xiao Ran had already expected a Guncannon to appear in his mind and was ready to be driven by Michelle, who specializes in sniper type, the general arrangement was like this. After the remaining two Zakus were repaired, Xiao Ran was going to hand one of them to Jigusi, and Naluo would drive the remaining one.
In fact, Xiao Ran doesn't have to drive the Gundam. He wants to hand over all three Zakus to newcomers to drive. However, with the current performance of the Zaku II, it is difficult to truly unleash Xiao Ran's full strength. Even if he can, The performance of the Dezaku II is 120% the same, so there is nothing you can do about driving a Gundam with a C-class body.
"If we can find a suitable place to modify the body, we won't have to worry so much. Forget it, be careful and as long as we can go to the moon, all these problems can be solved." Xiao Ran shook his head and continued. : "Of the three remaining units, only one can be put into use immediately. Ozma, I will leave this unit to you to drive, but please note that the performance of this Zaku II is not as good as ours. The aircraft you pilot is more stable than them, so be careful when fighting."
"I know." Ozma didn't feel there was anything bad about piloting a worse machine. As a captain, he naturally needs to think more about his team members. Instead, Art was stunned for a moment and wanted to speak. He let his body out, but was gently pulled by Michelle beside him, and shook his head at him.
Xiao Ran also saw Michelle's movements, smiled and said to Michelle: "Michelle, I estimate that I will get an artillery-type machine in the future, although it is somewhat different from the sniper-type machine you are good at driving. , but I think there should be no problem if we just make do with driving.”
Michelle pushed up her glasses and showed a charming smile: "To me, any machine is the same as long as it has a gun."
Xiao Ran smiled and said: "If the last two machines are repaired, Jigus and Naluo, you can each pilot one."
"Yes." Jigus and Naluo simply responded, and after the two received the reply, Xiao Ran said to the last Luca: "Luca, you don't need to join us if we fight head-on. But you also need to share the firepower control of the battleship. The side firepower and lower firepower of this battleship are very weak, and manual operation is often required to achieve better results."
"I know." Luka pouted and nodded. The cute look on the other side made Mi Lai stunned: "Is such a young child already on the battlefield?"
Monica smiled slightly: "Don't underestimate him, he is a qualified soldier and is very good at battlefield reconnaissance."
Mi Lai was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Have you all been trained since childhood?"
"How is that possible?" Monica covered her mouth and smiled. Shaking his head slightly, he said: "We all have our own normal lives, and we join here for our own reasons. Don't think of us as the kind of people who have been trained and indoctrinated into evil thoughts since childhood."
"Sorry." Milai smiled apologetically at Monica and turned to look at the ship's steering wheel. Asked: "My future job is to control this battleship, right? But why do you have so many people but no helmsman?"
Monica did not hide anything from Mi Lai, but she did not tell her too much in detail: "It's not that there is nothing, but our helmsman is performing other tasks, and he is also a very powerful person. , well, don’t ask me any more questions. I can’t tell you any more without permission.”
"I understand." Mi Lai nodded.
On the other side, Xiao Ran was also talking to Na Luo: "Na Luo, you choose someone from your side, preferably someone who volunteers to be the helmsman. From now on, he will work on the bridge and follow Miss Milai. Learn to control the ship.”
"Okay, I'll go take a look soon."
After the arrangements are completed. Xiao Ran also asked everyone to take a good rest and then left the bridge and went to Gnakuli where the Gundam was parked. He turned over and sat in the cockpit and began to check all the data on the body. A qualified pilot must have the most knowledge about his own body. Xiao Ran had not checked the body's systems and data before, also because of lack of time. Now there is still more than an hour, and Xiao Ran just happens to be really familiar with it. This black Gundam.
After Xiao Ran left, everyone in the Skeleton Team also left. Only Ozma stayed on the bridge, and Nalo went to find her people. Choosing a suitable person determines his future development direction. And Jigus also left the bridge alone.
When the trio on the bridge heard that they could rest, they left one by one. Girls always have to think more, and of course that includes choosing their own room in the battleship. So I left with the three newcomers and started wandering around the living area. While familiar with the structure of the battleship itself, he also quickly assigned himself to his own room.
In the end, Miley and Artesia were assigned a double room, and Monica shared a room with Frau. After everyone else left to clean up their rooms, Miley and Artesia were also in their rooms. They were busy, and the two of them didn't speak much at first, but it didn't take long for Mi Lai to put down the work in his hands, sit on the bed and look at Artesia.
"Um...can I call you Artesia? After knowing your real name, I still feel a little uncomfortable calling you that name."
Artesia turned around and nodded to Mi Lai: "Of course, this is not the Earth Federation or Zeon. It doesn't matter what name you call me."
Mi Lai nodded slightly, remained silent for a while and asked, "Do you believe what Alex said?"
"I don't know either." Artesia hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head: "What he said is terrible. If it is true, it would be even more terrible. The entire world is being controlled by the privileged classes of the Earth Federation. I was deceived and deceived by them, but no one discovered this deception for so many years.”
"But whether it's true or not, there is no possibility for us to retreat. Either we will join them or be imprisoned by them. What else can we do except believe in us." Artesia also sat down and sighed slightly. : "I just don't know them... No, it's about how many people there are in our organization and what kind of forces are standing behind us. It may be inevitable to fight against the Earth Federation, but in the end, can we resist the pressure of the Earth Federation?" the most important."
"Yes, after knowing so many things, it is impossible for us to quit." Mi Lai also shook his head, and after looking at Artesia, he said: "But it's really hard to believe that you actually She is the daughter of the Daken family, the founder of Zeon, and she actually ended up in this place. It’s incredible. Do you still remember what happened at that time?”
Artesia lowered her head and shook her head gently: "This happened a long, long time ago. The current Zeon is the Zeon controlled by the Zabi family, not the Zeon in my father's mind. And at that time It’s been so many years since, and I don’t remember many things clearly.”
It's not that she can't remember clearly. Even though she was still young at that time, how could Artesia not remember such an important period of fate change? It's that all this has passed too long for her, and she doesn't want to be there anymore. To reminisce.
Miley saw Artesia's look and knew that Artesia was unwilling to continue this topic, so he changed the topic: "Well, Mr. Alex said, your brother is the Red Comet Char." Do you agree with this? It’s really hard to imagine that the famous Red Comet is actually the eldest son of the Daken family. Didn’t the news say that your brother has been assassinated and passed away?”
"No, I feel that my brother is still alive!" said Xia Ya, Artesia seemed a little impulsive, but after reacting, she still smiled apologetically at Mi Lai: "I believe it, because as Mr. Alex said , This kind of lie cannot last forever. Since my brother has joined this organization, I have been looking for him. If I don’t join this organization, I don’t know when I will see my brother, so this is the reason why I join. "
"I believe that even if you have heard so many things you shouldn't have heard, it won't be the reason why you really joined this organization. I think you also want to see changes in the world, right? "
Mi Lai looked at the ceiling: "Maybe."
An hour passed quickly, and Al Elf also brought back three Zakus. In addition to the Zakus, a Guncannon that Xiao Ran had expected, and a new model of the Earth Army's Guntank were also there. Within the transportation range, Guntank was sent directly into the third Gnaku under Xiao Ran's arrangement, and Guncannon squeezed into the Gnaku containing two Zakus.
Because MS were given priority to be transported, there was an obvious lag in supplies and ammunition. In the end, when the scheduled time with Char came, the ammunition and supplies could only replenish half of the White Fortress's full load of one Zaku II. He had already rushed in from the entrance of the space port. (.)
