Xiao Ran is really at his wits end now. If there is no such weird situation at the beginning of the mission and he is directly among Orb, he can lead Orb's space army to kill the universe and push away everything in Junius 7. Give the old fox Durandal and logos, and then make a big move with U World.
But the problem now is that his camp is limited. He can return to Orb at all costs, but even if the main mission is successful, until the conditions that trigger the camp change are not found, the next Prometheus release The main mission will also be the main mission of the United Army, so standing in Orb's camp will cause the main mission to fail one after another.
Xiao Ran did not dare to try the consequences of failure in the main mission. Of course, the consequences of failure were not unbearable for Xiao Ran. At most, some merit point rewards would be deducted and some punishment would be given. However, it was such a blatant violation of the Prometheus regulations. It is better not to do this kind of task. Being unable to complete it and deliberately not completing it are two concepts. The former is lack of ability, while the latter is intentional.
Xiao Ran's main mission has never failed, but he doesn't know if there are other bigger punishments besides the seemingly slight punishment of deducting merit points after the failure of the main mission. However, there are no other bigger punishments at all in Prometheus. The fact that the participants will deliberately not complete the task of Prometheus is definitely not due to the great moral integrity of the participants.
Moreover, in terms of identity status, it is completely different from all the mission worlds he has passed before. When he used the ultimate mission card to enter the mission world, his status was left during the interval. But this time he took on the role of a relatively important plot character in the United Army, so his status during the interval became unknown.
He can return to Orb regardless and let the main mission fail, but is the Orb today really the same Orb he left then? Can he take over the military and political power again even if he returns to Orb? Everything that happened in the past two years was completely blank to Xiao Ran. He couldn't even figure out how he changed from a retired Orb boss to a soldier in the coalition army. If Cagalli is really on the Minerva, then it means that a lot of changes have definitely happened to Orb in the past two years, which will make Xiao Ran's originally changed plot and trajectory return to its original state to some extent. , which makes Cagalli appear so weak just like in the original plot in Armory One.
Before all of this was unraveled, before Xiao Ran found the triggering conditions for the camp change, before he reunited with Ma Liu, Cruze and Luo to get their own machines, the random jumping around relying on his physical strength was not It's a sensible thing, so the best thing to do is to play his current identity well and do as much as he can without violating the requirements of the main mission. Things that can be changed are the best choices.
At least, he must also find out as soon as possible what happened in the United Army, PNT, and Orb during the two years he left. In his current capacity as the senior commander of Phantom Pain, It shouldn't be difficult to figure this out just by thinking about it.
"As for Junius 7, I'm sorry. Although I don't want this to happen, I don't have the ability to stop it now. I can only do what I am now." Xiao Ran felt faintly in his heart. Sigh, knowing clearly that what happens next is a disaster. But in such a situation, he had no ability to stop it. This feeling of powerlessness made Xiao Ran very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Xiao Ran has been in Prometheus for such a long time. Although there have been great changes, human nature cannot be changed so easily. In addition, Xiao Ran has never thought about how to adapt himself, so the simple kindness in his heart that is unwilling to see losses and sacrifices still remains in his heart.
So he wanted to save some innocent people. Let the sacrifices and losses be less. His character is not a Virgin but just a simple human nature. But reason also told him that he couldn't rush towards Junius 7 so directly now, otherwise he would definitely be tricked into his plan by the old fox.
"You must remove yourself from this matter, let alone take the initiative to go in the direction of Junius 7, lest you be caught by the Minerva. That old fox in Durandal confirmed our identity, and even mine. Then he blamed me for all the bad things. That's wrong. As long as that old fox is willing to do anything wrong on my side, whether he can confirm my identity or not, he can blame me in advance. , the sword points directly at the United Earth. When I can change my camp, I will be implicated in this mess. It will be really tiring to deal with these old foxes."
Xiao Ran rubbed his head with a headache, and he groaned in his heart, and even if he could bring the Minerva over in advance, it would be useless. Not to mention what Durandal thought, but after all, it was impossible for the Minerva to carry and explode Using the equipment that separates Junius 7, the kind of nuclear bomb that can penetrate into the ground and explode, even if it goes ahead of time, it will only hit the outpost without any effect. On the contrary, it will make him actively involved in the incident.
"If the Galaxy Diva is here, why are there so many troubles?" Xiao Ran shook his head gently. This time he was alone in the start and in the world of Gundam. Although his identity was different, it seemed to bring him back. When it comes to entering this world for the first time, it’s the cautious and step-by-step approach.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ran decided to proceed with the original plan of the Gadi Lu. It was not because he was selfish and cruel and watched everything happen without being moved, but because he really had no way to solve the current problem. The only way The only thing that can be done is to slowly hook the Minerva according to the development of the plot, so as to prevent the Minerva from deviating in other wrong directions and being unable to catch up with the destruction of Junius 7.
And even if he 'coincidently' guides the Gadi Lu to Junius 7, the situation he will face will be the same as that of the Minerva arriving first, which will not be of any help to the situation at all. All these preconditions cannot be solved. He himself was implicated, and eventually became a scapegoat promoted by both the Union Army and PNT. Once his identity was revealed by the Union, the scapegoat would eventually become Orb.
"You have to go back and forth, either hide in another place, or fight like in the original plot. This feeling of being powerless is really terrible." Xiao Ran shook his head, exhaled softly and said, "According to the original plot The plan remains unchanged, it is precisely because we don’t know if anyone from Zat will catch up, so we need to continue according to the plan.”
"clear."
The Gadi Lu was heading towards the scheduled route, and the Minerva had been following the traces of the Gadi Lu. More than an hour passed in a flash, and Xiao Ran was adjusting the Chaos Gundam in Gnaku. os, the people who commanded the maintenance team took the time to adjust the body. Originally, the Chaos Gundam had two armed pods that could be used, and they also had the function of launching missiles, but the number was still too scarce for Xiao Ran. Therefore, we must seize the time to replenish the Dragoons of Chaos Gundam.
As for this kind of quantitative supplement, it is not difficult for the technicians on the Gadi Lu. As long as they connect a few energy pipelines and fix the dragoons on the legs without affecting the operation of the body itself, Just the waist and back. However, due to the two-way constraints of manpower and equipment, Xiao Ran only asked the maintenance team to add a total of four supply dragoons of the Holy Shield Dagger to the back and legs of the machine, while Xiao Ran was responsible for the system adjustments. .
With the efforts of all the maintenance personnel, it took almost two hours to connect the energy pipeline and install the Dragoon. Although the appearance looks like a temporary one, it can even be installed on both sides of the body. The dragoon's energy supply pipes can be seen on the sides of the thighs and back, but this is the limit of what can be achieved at the moment.
Not long after Xiao Ran completed the modifications to the dragoon's operation in the body system and connected to the four new communication channels of the dragoon, a large heat source was discovered on the bridge, and it was moving towards the dragon at an extremely fast speed. Chase in their direction.
Xiao Ran quickly jumped out of the cockpit of the aircraft and quickly rushed to the bridge. Ian Li only heard the sound of the bridge door opening behind him, and he was already sure that the person who came in was Xiao Ran, without looking back. He opened his mouth and said: "As expected, we caught up. It's really a powerful high-speed ship."
"distance."
"7000."
"The entire army is in combat configuration, and all pilots are ready in the waiting room." Xiao Ran patted Ian Li on the shoulder and said: "Don't get into an entanglement with the opponent if you cannot confirm the combat power of the opponent's warship, but just let the opponent If you keep chasing, you will catch up with us sooner or later."
"After entering the meteorite belt, I will pilot the Chaos Gundam to attack. I will try my best to gather the enemy's power on me and let Stella and Orlu guard the battleship. The others will make arrangements according to the situation."
Ian Li was stunned, turned to look at Xiao Ran, frowned slightly and said: "Is it too dangerous for the colonel to do this? If the opponent's warship has more combat power than estimated, it will be very difficult for the colonel to get involved in the battle. It’s difficult to provide support.”
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said: "I think the quality of the Zat machine will not be worse than that of the Holy Shield Dagger. Moreover, there are several machines that can provide mobile support. Even if they can't defeat them, they will suffer a little damage. It’s okay to run away after trouble.”
This sentence made Ian Lee speechless. He could only nod silently and commanded: "Prepare the attack procedures for the Chaos Gundam immediately. All pilots board the aircraft and are on standby." (.)
