Andrew, who sent away the three Xiao Ran, looked up at the sun that was still hanging in the sky. The dazzling light made him squint his eyes. "The Berserker and his guardian? What will the encounter on the battlefield be like? Hehe, be careful of the people who come to PLANT from Orb. What do you mean, guardian."
While Tiger Andrew was thinking about what Xiao Ran's last sentence meant, Xiao Ran sitting in the car also closed his eyes and thought, "The support has been advanced, and And that's not even counting the reinforcements from Gibraltar's ZAFT forces base on Earth, eight supplementary pilots and eight mobile suits. This doesn't even count the upcoming duel Buster Gundam from Gibraltar base. E's two Gundams, what's going on! If you include the support of Gibraltar, plus the current strength of Andrew's men, there are at least fifteen or more units. With just Strike Gundam and two Skygrasper, it is simply impossible for Archangel to break out from here. This is not the universe, and there are so many evacuation routes."
"The inexplicable support was also very strange. It came directly from PLANT. Although I had prepared for it, I didn't expect that the participants would gradually join the plot so quickly. Now Earth Force and ZAFT Since there is no larger-scale battle in, it is not surprising that ZAFT would send more troops to Archangel and Strike Gundam, who have shown greater combat power than in the original plot so far."
"The number of soldiers in PLANT is so small compared to Earth Force that there is no comparison. If there are really outstanding people, the chance of getting ahead in ZAFT is very high, not to mention those participants with special abilities, ZAFT On the one hand, it is very simple to investigate the true identity of those people. If you investigate from other aspects without contacting the person, the identity of all participants is absolutely impeccable. In other words, ZAFT will definitely feel confident about the participants in non-confidential tasks."
"Perhaps ZAFT's current missions are in line with the shortage of talented personnel and are unclassified missions. Until now, Archangel meets these conditions. In other words... are participants who join ZAFT more likely to have access to the main storyline than those who join Earth Force? Is this the advantage of joining the ZAFT camp?"
"As for Earth Force, although there are many soldiers so far, the disadvantage of backward weapons cannot be ignored. Once the battle begins, the possibility of victory is not high, so participants who join Earth Force also have advantages, which is the implicit evaluation reward of Main Mission. Earth Force is not stingy with the talents of MS Piloting members. Presumably, most of the participants who have joined Earth Force have obtained high military ranks. The rewards of the system cannot be faked. They are things that can really strengthen their own strength. However, because Earth Force has too many fronts, and Archangel itself regards Archangel as an outcast, it will be more difficult to get access to the main line. Speaking of which, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages."
Xiao Ran's closed eyes suddenly opened, he sighed for a moment, and said in his heart, "No, no, what I should be thinking about now is how to get Archangel out of here safely. Why am I getting further and further away from here? Hey, this This time is really troublesome. I don't know whether it was God's arrangement or luck. Luo appeared here in advance. Could it be that the key to Archangel's escape this time is Luo and his Junk Guild team."
"It seems that I did the right thing by asking Luo to enhance and transform Strike Gundam." Xiao Ran shook his head, with a sad look on his face. "But if I drive Skygrasper to fight, it will cost me my life. I have to find a way."
The people arranged by Andrew sent the three Xiao Ran to the city and then left. What Xiao Ran heard just now in Andrew's reception room These things also made him unable to let go. He could already confirm that among the eight additional pilots, there were definitely participants. Even if the number was not large, as long as one or two people would bring huge trouble to Archangel and him.
So after arriving in the city, we walked around and went directly back to the parking place. Cagalli wanted to question Xiao Ran several times on the road about what he meant by his previous actions, but he actually agreed to Tiger's invitation, and they even had a good conversation with each other. Not to mention, they even hugged each other before leaving, just like they were good brothers.
But Kira, who has been in contact with Xiao Ran for a long time and knows a lot about Xiao Ran, saw Xiao Ran's thoughtful expression. Even if he wanted to ask questions, he kept them in his mind. He even stopped Cagalli several times to avoid interrupting Xiao Ran's thinking, and just returned to Archangel in silence.
As soon as the car was parked, Xiao Ran looked around, and after not finding the person he was looking for, he jumped out of the car, leaving Kira and Cagalli behind without saying a word, and hurried to the bridge. When they arrived at the bridge, Xiao Ran didn't find the second person he was looking for, Mwu. After patting his head, he suddenly realized that there was nothing going on at this time. Mwu usually wouldn't stay on the bridge. After wasting a few minutes, he finally found her at Captain's Room.
Xiao Ran's first words when he saw Mwu made Mwu frown. "ZAFT has new reinforcements, a lot of them, eight MS."
"How do you know!?" Mwu asked with a frown.
Xiao Ran said directly without hiding anything, "We met Tiger today, and something happened that he invited us to be a guest. I heard it at that time."
"The situation is urgent?" Mwu looked at Xiao Ran's serious expression and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckled, "It's rare to see you speak so directly."
Mwu noticed Xiao Ran's nervousness and anxiety. When he heard that Xiao Ran went to Tiger's place as a guest, he was also worried and surprised. However, he did not ask what happened. Instead, he used his own way to make Xiao Ran calm down and relax.
"Can you still laugh at this time?" Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and was speechless.
"Am I going to be sad or nervous?" Mwu looked at Xiao Ran and shook his head gently and said, "Even if I do that, it will be of no use. It will not solve the current problem at all."
Xiao Ran pursed his lips. He couldn't tell Mwu that you don't understand. If there were no participants, he Xiao Ran would not be so serious, nor would he come to Mwu in a hurry to report the situation, just like when he was in the universe, although At that time, Xiao Ran was so frightened that he almost did something stupid. Now he is much better, at least a lot calmer. However, even if he is calm, the tension and anxiety in his heart are still unavoidable, because Xiao Ran is not that confident when facing the participant. There are really too many skills that the participants may awaken.
"In short, we must be prepared. This battle may be more difficult than before, and there is a threat of being sunk if we are not careful." Xiao Ran patted Mwu on the shoulder, and felt that he had affected the emotions of others too much, so he put a smile on his face again, "Of course, I will also be prepared, and I won't let anything happen to Archangel."
Mwu looked at Xiao Ran blankly. He had almost never seen Xiao Ran's forced smile. After seeing this smile, he seemed to feel that the situation might be more serious than imagined. "I know, I will let others prepare."
Xiao Ran left soon. Archangel was about to face a large number of enemies, and even participants who were very likely to appear. He could not resist with his current combat power alone. If he wanted to obtain new combat power, there was currently only one person who could help him - Luo Jure.
It's strange to say that I didn't see Luo there when I just came back, but when Xiao Ran came to Gnaku, I saw Luo Zheng and a large group of people from the maintenance class playing with Strike Gundam. Xiao Ran who saw Luo trotted over quickly. "Luo!"
Luo looked at Xiao Ran happily, waved to Xiao Ran and then slowly climbed down from Strike Gundam. When he reached Xiao Ran, he smiled and said, "Come back, I have found a lot of materials today. The modified body will definitely surprise you."
Xiao Ran Only then did he know the reason for Luo's absence before. He nodded and said, "I said I couldn't find you just now. When will the transformation of the body be completed?"
"I can't tell you the specific time." Luo scratched his hair and turned to look at Strike Gundam, which had already taken apart several replacement positions, and said, "The weapon interface on the shoulder needs to be modified and strengthened to be able to directly hang the huge Physical Sword, the joints also need to be moved, especially the waist, legs, and hands. I looked at the combat records of Kira, and I feel that these areas restrict him a lot, and there are too many other aspects that cannot be completed in a short time."
"Although I'm sorry, I still have to trouble you to complete the modification of the machine body as soon as possible." Xiao Ran frowned and said, "The current situation is a bit delicate. ZAFT has a lot of reinforcements, and There are also reinforcements from the Gibraltar base heading here. Without Strike Gundam, Archangel is just a living target. In fact, even with Strike Gundam, I don't know if it can resist with just this one machine."
"Is the situation serious?" Luo was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Ran nodded and said affirmatively, "Among the reinforcements are Enhanced Human who defected to ZAFT, and the two Gundams they snatched from Heliopolis. I think there are at least fifteen Gundams in total."
"A pair of fifteen!?" Luo's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "This is impossible. Even if I complete the transformation of the machine now, it is impossible for Strike Gundam to achieve that level. Even if Kira has that seemingly awesome combat record, it still can't be done."
"That's right." Xiao Ran turned his head to look at Ginn, who was standing aside and had no effect. "If I can fight... I can at least protect Archangel."
Suddenly, Xiao Ran turned his head to Luo: "Luo, please, I don't want to see Archangel sunk like this, I don't want to see the people I like die fighting here, and I don't want to see my friends and students destroyed along with Archangel. I know you definitely have a way, please help me."
After listening to Xiao Ran's words, Luo was silent for a long time, thinking with his head down. When he raised his head to look at Xiao Ran, his brows were still furrowed. "To be honest, although I have an MS, that MS has been labeled as a waste dealer and cannot participate in the war between ZAFT and Earth Force, so I can't help you fight."
Hearing what Luo said, Xiao Ran felt a knot in his heart, but before he had any other thoughts, Luo's face changed instantly, and he smiled, and said in a frivolous tone, "Hey, although I can't fight for you, but you can fight on your own. After getting along with the people of Archangel for a few days, I also feel that everyone is a good person, and I am very willing to help them. Also, aren't we friends? Isn't it normal to help friends?"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment. After Luo said hello to the people in the maintenance team, he turned over and got into a car. "Come with me, I will give you a gift."
