Chapter 324 Faith

"That's right." Another voice came in, and Mu came over with a serious face. Not only Mu, but also Kira, Cagalli, Nicol and Dearka also came over. Everyone stood together, all focusing on Athrun.

"Is it really okay for you to appear in Orb now?" Mu looked at Athrun and said, "Kira is your enemy, right? You are fighting for that Gundam called Freedom. Is that why you came here? But now you don't attack Kira, you don't attack Freedom Gundam, but you stand here and talk to us calmly. Is this really okay?"

"And it's not just you, it's the same with these two little devils." Mu said, and also looked at Dearka and Nicol, and said, "I kept them here because I wanted to use their power to protect this country from Earth Force's attacks. It can be said that there is no conflict with ZAFT and PLANT, so it will naturally not cause you more trouble."

"But in today's situation, we will also enter the universe. At that time, we may inevitably have a battle with ZAFT forces. It is completely different from the time when we were at Orb. Although I don't care about the military uniforms you are wearing, I at least want to fight with people I can trust."

"You are the son of Padric. Sala. Whether it is in terms of relationship or the military uniform you are wearing, it is a painful thing for you to leave your father and your own army. If you do not strengthen your beliefs, you will not be able to fight at all. What do you think?"

"Ah, okay." Dearka scratched his hair and shrugged helplessly. "Uncle, I think you have gone too far. It doesn't matter where we appear. Do you think Nicol and I can still go back to ZAFT? Nicol is assisting Masked Man defeated ZAFT's top secret-level machine, Rebirth Gundam, which is in the same series as Freedom Gundam and Justice Gundam. As for me, I did some inexplicable things in Alaska. I'm afraid I have long been regarded as a traitor by ZAFT."

"And I also found a reason to protect and fight here. What's more, I don't want to see the earth made by Genesis into a state where it is impossible to live at all. For these reasons, I have already made up my mind to continue fighting. I think Nicol is the same."

Nicol smiled slightly and nodded to Mu: "Mr. Mu, I am the same as Dearka. I like the peace here at Orb and can play electronic games freely with Mr. Xiao Ran You can easily play the piano in the game, and I no longer want to fight, but if it is to protect this peace, I will also give my own strength. Genesis must be destroyed, and mankind should not be destroyed by us Coordinators."

"And just like what Representative Asaha said, Coordinators are also human beings. They are just humans who have evolved ahead of schedule. They should not be divided into two races to fight endlessly. Peace is what everyone hopes to exist. If possible, I also want to play my piano in the packed venue of the old humans, Coordinators."

Graham also nodded slightly after hearing what Nicol said, "The war between races ends with one party completely eradicating the other. If such a war really starts, then the world will probably have to face hundreds of years of continuous conquest. I am deeply touched by this."

"Graham, you talk too much." Xiao Ran glanced at Graham with a warning look. Graham also smiled apologetically when he saw Xiao Ran's expression, "Sorry, sir, I couldn't help but express these feelings."

Graham had this feeling entirely because there were too many such wars in 00 World, at least before the appearance of heavenly beings, there were too many wars fought for hundreds of years all over the world. Things like annihilation of nations and genocide have not never happened. These things are lessons and reminders like blood in history.

"In Orb... no, what I saw and heard on Earth and PLANT reminded me a lot." Athrun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke and glanced at his friend Dearka After, Nicol and Kira, they firmed up their expressions and said slowly, "What is right, what is wrong, what I know and what I don't know, these things are still unclear to me until now."

"It's just that I know what I long for... Frankly speaking, like everyone else, maybe you don't believe it, but this is how I feel now."

"The previous quarrels and battles with Dearka and Nicol also made me understand the truest thoughts in my heart. When I first learned about their sacrifice, I was filled with pain, and all I could think about was revenge, but Knowing that they are still alive and have joined Orb makes me feel betrayed and a little angry, but I also envy them and am happy for them because they have found their own reasons to fight and the goal they want to fight for."

"It's not about killing the enemy, it's not about the conflict between Coordinators and the old humanity, it's about protecting, and for peace. If possible, I want to do the same, and I want to fight for peace and protection."

"You are really strong." Mu suddenly smiled and glanced at Kira: "This guy is completely different."

"Uh." Kira was stunned for a moment, then looked at Athrun with a smile and said, "He has been like this since he was a child."

Mu sighed, looked at Xiao Ran and spread his hands and smiled, "The responsibility Orb has given us is really heavy, but fortunately there is someone taller to bear it, so it doesn't make me feel breathless. Anyway, I only need to do what I can do, and others will think about it and take responsibility."

Cagalli, who didn't know the real situation at all, was confused and looked at Mu blankly. "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? I felt something was wrong just now. Why are there so few people in Akatsuki Works? Did those MS come here for maintenance or something? Why haven't they been seen again since? What preparations have you people been so busy doing?"

Kira is silent, Dearka is silent, Nicol is silent, and Xiao Ran is also silent.

Mu patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder, turned around and waved his hand coolly. "You are the tallest one here, so I leave it to you."

Xiao Ran sighed silently, looking at Cagalli who was staring at him with his eyes and couldn't help but look away. "Representative Asaha and I issued an order to evacuate Orb. The MS that could not be carried were destroyed on the spot, and all the tanks sank into the sea."

"Evacuate? Is this what you meant when you said you were going to the universe?" Cagalli looked at Xiao Ran in disbelief, and asked excitedly, "Why are we retreating? Didn't we win?"

"Cagalli." Kira held Cagalli's shoulders and gently shook his head at Cagalli: "The teacher is right, we can't guard Orb."

"Do you know how many Gundams Earth Force produced?" Xiao Ran looked at Cagalli and asked himself, "According to the intelligence sent back by Orb's intelligence personnel who sacrificed themselves, and with the full support of major armament companies on the earth and the moon, this number is no less than fifty."

"There are all kinds of experimental machines, those in the sea, on land, in the sky and in the universe. There are all kinds of Gundams that are suitable for fighting in different environments."

"The ones driving these machines are basically Coordinators that was added to Earth Force and Enhanced Human made by Earth Force themselves, which is Living CPU. This time we won, then if the next battle What to do if there are more Gundams appearing in the game? The number doesn't need to be too large. Fifteen units are enough to entangle all of us. So without the help of us, are the M1 Astray of Orb really the opponent of the extremely terrifying number of Earth Force MS?"

"In order to protect the foundation of Orb from being destroyed, in order to protect the fire that can make Orb reborn from dying out, we have no choice but to evacuate." Xiao Ran glanced at Cagalli and sighed slightly, "For the rest, representative Asaha will explain to you, and it is best for representative Asaha to explain it to you in person."

Cagalli glanced at Xiao Ran, turned around and ran outside. Kisaka, a qualified bodyguard, also nodded to Xiao Ran and quickly chased after him. Looking at Cagalli's leaving back, Xiao Ran also sighed again.

"Graham, go." Xiao Ran exhaled and nodded to Graham. The latter responded and ran towards the cockpit of Black Astray. Xiao Ran also looked at Kira: "If there is a battle within today, then it is time to take action. If not, it will start as soon as the sun starts to set in the evening."

"Currently, the only ones that can catch up with the launch speed of the battleship are your Freedom Gundam, Justice Gundam, my Lightning Aegis, Graham's Black Astray, and the fighter plane I brought back. However, I must personally fly the fighter plane to protect Akatsuki Works's equipment from safely escaping. The only one who can help you is Black Astray."

"I can participate." Athrun said from the side, "I will work with Kira to protect the three warships and leave."

"The key is timing. We must seize the last warship to leave and enter the universe together." Xiao Ran looked at the two of them and nodded. "If it's the two of you, I'm at ease."

Kira and Athrun nodded, Athrun turned to look at Black Astray, to be precise it should be Although the color of the backpack behind Black Astray is different and the shape is also slightly different, it can still be seen at a glance that the backpack behind Black Astray is exactly the same as that of Justice Gundam.

Athrun asked, "I didn't have a chance just now because of other things. Mr. Xiao Ran, can you tell me what happened to the backpack of this machine?"

"Does it feel the same as your Justice Gundam backpack?" Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Actually, the backpack number of this Black Astray is Destiny-00, which is the same model of the Justice Gundam backpack. But in fact, it only has the same appearance and basic functions. The inside is completely different."
