(I often get the chapter numbers wrong lately. Is it because Yi Zui has been feeling empty during this period?)
After El-Elf and others ended the communication, they found a place to hide near the contact point and kept observing the situation nearby. Perhaps they were trying to control the two cronies sent by Commander Constance who had taken refuge in Char. As collaborators, El-Elf will maintain basic trust and normal suspicion towards these two people, but for the so-called Rebel Army and El-Elf who have never been in contact with each other in this capital satellite, there is no basis for trust at all.
Maintaining corresponding vigilance, El-Elf also asked everyone to disperse and patrol around. Under the current Zeon environment, wearing Zeon's military uniform is just like wearing casual clothes. It will not attract too much attention from others. After all, after losing the war, New Zeon was established and split After acquiring a lot of power belonging to Zeon, the scale of newly recruited soldiers continued to expand, and the proportion of soldiers among Zeon citizens was also in a very abnormal state. This resulted in the Zeon Army having too many soldiers, and most of them wore military uniforms when resting, making Zeon's military uniforms very common.
After waiting for less than half an hour, a medium-sized vehicle with the Capital Defense Force logo parked at the place where we had arranged to meet. When this car appeared, Setsuna actually shocked the two sent over. El-Elf glanced at the medium-sized car parked on the roadside and just said as if talking to himself:
"The car is 7.3 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. Based on the height of the car from the ground and the wheel pressure, it can be inferred that the car should be unloaded. Have you noticed anything?"
"No."
"Everything is fine."
"I am here too."
The small earphones in his ears transmitted the voices of other patrolling members to El-Elf's ears. He glanced at the parked car again and walked out of the open door. A man who was also wearing Zeon Army military uniform and had the same defense brigade badge, but from the man's empty right sleeve, we could tell that this man's arm may have been completely lost due to the war.
El-Elf walked out generously from the dark place where he could observe the surrounding situation. After arranging his clothes, he took a steady step of the same distance with each step and walked towards the parked medium-sized car. He also did not forget to inform the two people and said, "Let's go, the person we are waiting for has arrived."
"What... what?" One of them looked at the back of El-Elf in surprise and said to the other person, "How can he be sure that he is the person we are waiting for? Hasn't he not contacted us at all?"
"Don't worry about it. He has already passed. Let's follow him quickly." The other person also frowned and put his hand behind his back. He pulled the person who spoke before and trotted to follow El-Elf until El-Elf walked in front of the one-armed man.
"You are the one who came to pick us up." El-Elf looked at the man, and what should have been a question turned into an affirmation in his mouth, which also made the middle-aged old handsome guy have a slightly stunned expression on his face. Then he shrugged and smiled at El-Elf, "I'm here to pick you up, but I don't know if you are our guest."
"Understood." El-Elf nodded slightly and then fell silent. It was only then that the two guys following behind ran over. Seeing El-Elf and the one-armed man, one of them tentatively said, "We were sent by the young master to receive guests."
"That's right, I'm here to pick up the guests and take them to where they need to go." The one-armed man smiled slightly and gave the secret code for the meeting. After speaking, he extended his only left hand to El-Elf, a young man who seemed to be very interesting. "I am Lance Garfield, boy, what is your name?"
"El-Elf."
"L-ELF? L11?" Lance Garfield raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Is this just a code name? Isn't it popular nowadays not to use names?"
El-Elf glanced at Lance Garfield with a faint look, seeming to be examining this man with only one arm. Seeing El-Elf's eyes full of scrutiny, Lance Garfield also smiled casually and said, "Sorry, I used to be an instructor in a military academy, so I am more sensitive to code names."
"No, this is my real name." El-Elf said calmly, then turned his head and glanced in other directions. At this time, everyone who was scattered was also walking in this direction. Seeing this scene, El-Elf just said to Lance Garfield: "There are too many of us, let's get in the car first."
After a while, everyone was in the car. After Lance Garfield, the last person, got on the car, the driver who had not gotten off the car started the car and drove steadily towards an unknown destination.
Lance Garfield was a little surprised when he saw that there were eleven members in the car. Because except for Ozma, a man who looks about the same age as himself, the others are almost all children who are no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. Although in this era, there are not a few children aged sixteen or seventeen who go to the battlefield, and there is no shortage of brave and capable people, but it is certainly strange that all such children appear here.
Especially Little Shota Luca and Glan Glan who look smaller, but from the appearance they are just like elementary school students.
Lance Garfield was silent for a long time, and suddenly looked at the oldest Ozma, and asked, "I would like to ask, what is your mission this time? Of course, if it is confidential, you don't need to tell us, but if you want our assistance, I also hope to know a little bit about the purpose of your mission."
Ozma sat with his arms folded. He laughed and glanced at El-Elf, who was silently looking at the palmtop computer in his hand, and said, "The commander of this operation is not me. You have to ask him this question. Although I don't think there is anything that needs your help in this mission, but if he is willing to tell you, that's okay. But we can ask you to provide us with some convenient clothes, okay?"
Lance Garfield's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard Ozma, but he nodded. "Of course we will provide you with clothes and necessary weapons, but no matter what your mission is, we also hope that you can act with caution, because we Resistance Organization also have our own goals and missions."
Lance Garfield's words are telling El-Elf, Ozma and others not to make things too big and out of control in this satellite, lest they and others are also exposed and affect the real purpose of Resistance Organization's operation.
El-Elf looked away from the screen of the handheld computer and looked at Lance Garfield again. A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he said in a calm voice, "I see, I understand."
This sudden and incoherent sentence made everyone look at him. Alter, who was sitting next to the car window, was holding his head and looking at the scenery outside. He also turned to look at El-Elf. In his child form, Glan Glan also had a child-like personality. He jumped directly in front of El-Elf, grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously. "What do you understand, what is it?"
"Lance Garfield, formerly a military academy instructor, was responsible for teaching MS Piloting, MS battle command, etc., participated in Odyssey Operation and lost his right arm, and now serves as Capital Defense Force lieutenant colonel." El-Elf said with a calm expression. Slowly speaking, he said, "Judging from your current behavior, you are just following the arrangements to come to meet us. The person we really contacted before was not you, but someone who can command someone like you who is already a lieutenant colonel. Then the person who commands you will be higher than you in terms of position, and a certain range can probably be determined."
"From what I found in the contact network, regarding the recent serial bombings in the Principality of Zeon, all the people who died were Zeon Army senior officials and military officers who were loyal to Zabi family. I can surmise that these serial bombings were all carried out by your organization."
"A person who can commit so many bombings but not let any clues implicate himself should have a lot of power behind this organization and power in this satellite and even within Zeon. Combined, I can guess that your superior should be Capital Defense Force The commander of - Henry Shlesser, in this case, the entire Capital Defense Force may be considered members of the resistance Zabi family, then your goals are exactly the same as ours."
Lance Garfield's eyes were not big at first, but after El-Elf said those words bit by bit, he became curious, and then listened carefully, and then the look of surprise on his face became more and more intense, until finally his small eyes stared at El-Elf who said these words.
"It is not difficult to deduce these, because your appearance has already proved your identity. I only obtained these results through reverse speculation." El-Elf added unhurriedly, "If you don't know your identity, it is not easy to deduce these without more intelligence data, and there is not enough evidence to support such speculation."
"You... who are you?" Lance Field seemed to have seen something incredible. He looked at the young man who was so ordinary and had no emotional fluctuations in his eyes. He really felt like he had been completely seen through.
"It doesn't matter if you answer this question together with the previous question. Our goal is the same. Our goal is to capture all members of Zabi family currently in this satellite. Indeed, in a sense, we need your help, but it is not necessary help. In our team Wu Li, any four people have the strength to completely eliminate Zabi family and all Guard Force, but it is also due to the lack of personnel. The assistance I need is for you to suppress other resistance forces after our operation is successful, such as other families of Zabi family."
"Also, although I feel very sorry after inferring these things, after I checked your information, I can probably rule out that you were injured due to your own carelessness. Among Odyssey Operation, we are the only ones who can hurt you and save your life." El-Elf Although he said he was sorry, it was obvious from his tone and expression that you could not hear any sense of apology. "Although we can hide our identities from you, I think this will become an unstable factor in our cooperation, so I am sorry that you have been hurt and become what you are now."
Lance Garfield's pupils shrank instantly, he reflexively put his left hand behind his back, and said in an incredible voice, "You are actually...Federal Army!"
As soon as the three words Federal Army came out, not only did Lance Garfield hold his weapon and start to be on guard, but even the two guys sent to assist El-Elf and others were also blinded, looking left and right, not knowing what to do.
"I suggest you don't need to be so nervous." Ozma folded his arms and chuckled. His relaxed look didn't seem to care that Lance Garfield might pull out his weapon at any time and point the gun at them. He said with a smile, "We are on the same side now, and we are all sitting together for the same purpose, so we are not enemies."
Lance Garfield did not relax his vigilance at all, and was still slowly retreating. "Federal Army, Astray MS Battalion, why are you here."
"It's true that we are Astray MS Battalion, but it does not mean that we are Federal Army." El-Elf glanced at Lance Garfield lightly and said, "From the beginning, we have never belonged to Earth Federation. The reason why we appear on the battlefield as Federal Army is just to attack Zabi family's Military Strength, in fact, among the Odyssey Operation, you should be able to tell that among the Zeon Army who have come into contact with our Astray MS Battalion, there are very few casualties due to the battle. Most of them were either captured, or you were given enough time to retreat. This also shows that although we are enemies of Zeon, we are not hostile to Zeon soldiers."
"Our enemy has always been clear, and that is the culprit who led to the emergence of this war and the rapid decline of Earth Sphere's total population of more than 13 billion to only 6 billion in one year. All members of Zabi family, especially Kilian Zabi."
"The reason why we are here is because the man with the pseudonym Char has always been an important member of our Rebel Army team, and the establishment of New Zeon is also inseparable. Open our support, and we are currently working hard through Federation's internal power to return all Zeon Army prisoners on earth to the hands of New Zeon."
