"I speculate that once you join the battle, you should trigger Side Mission. You can decide for yourself whether to accept the specific trigger. Your task is to ensure that the Junius 7 that falls to the earth becomes small enough, but you cannot do it too much and ensure that the fragments of Junius 7 fall to the earth. In addition, pay attention to your own safety and leave Junius 7 before reaching the critical point."
"As for the mission, Prometheus will not issue missions that cannot be completed. That is to say, as long as you accept Side Mission and it is a branch line to prevent Junius 7 from falling, then it will probably be a complete Side Mission. As long as you can ensure that the completion is above the passing line, you can leave."
Xiao Ran said, looked at the four of them, and continued with their understanding expressions, "And you will also take this opportunity to escape from this ship. The exclusive body in your hands should have the ability to break through the atmosphere. After escaping, replace the body, and you can even use a few Zaku Phantom as shields to land on the earth, and then go directly to Orb."
"Of course, this has to wait until those fragments fall to the earth." As he said, Xiao Ran once again took out two letters written by himself and handed them to Eshe: "These are my handwritten letters, one is for Bargyll, and the other is for D. S. S. D. I have told you what to do before, just do as I say."
Eshe solemnly took the two letters and put them into his Storage Slot, nodded and said, "Understood."
"Get ready and set off. I'm afraid I will have to stay in Earth Force for a while, but whether you go to Orb or D. S. S. D., I will contact you as soon as possible." Xiao Ran nodded to the four people and patted Eshe's shoulder lightly. "Be careful, safety first."
After the four people nodded, Xiao Ran left. He ordered the guarding soldiers outside the door to take the four people to change clothes and then returned to the bridge again.
"Has it been arranged?"
Xiao Ran sat down next to Ian Li again, nodded and said, "It's arranged. Try to record everything that happens. I want to know what happened over there."
"Already doing it."
When Eshe and four others left the Gadi Lu, the entire bridge became quiet. Through the Gadi Lu's detector, Xiao Ran sat on the Gadi Lu and witnessed it with his own eyes. All the battles on the Junius 7 saw machines belonging to the ZAFT fighting each other, and all of this was caught in the sight of Xiao Ran, and was also recorded by the Gadi Lu.
Xiao Ran saw with his own eyes that Junius 7 split into two halves. Fortunately, most of the half was deflected to a safe orbit away from the earth due to the internal explosion, but the other half flew towards the earth at a faster speed because of the same change of angle.
Even though he did not personally participate but was sitting on the bridge of Gadi Ru's ship, Xiao Ran was still in an extremely uneasy mood. He wished he could join in the battle to eliminate Junius 7's threat to the earth. However, reason and reality also told him that even if he joined, he would not change the current situation too much, and the four Eshe who he could do could also do it.
Xiao Ran originally didn't know how many explosions occurred on Junius 7 due to the explosion of mobile suits, but Xiao Ran knew that the people on Junius 7 who obstructed the sabotage work were far more powerful than what Xiao Ran saw in the plot. There are more and more. Although Xiao Ran has only seen the animation before and is not sure how many enemies there are, the number of MS belonging to ZAFT that can be detected by the Gadi Lu is more than one hundred, not just the small Joule Team in the animation.
On the other hand, although the other group was using the ZAFT machine, they were unable to identify the number of machines it belonged to. Every attack, counterattack, destruction, and obstruction by both sides would slow down the destruction of the Junius 7. It was not until more than an hour later that they had not completed enough to eliminate the greatest threat.
Xiao Ran took a few gentle breaths and asked, "Li, based on the completion of Junius 7's crushing work without affecting the earth, what is the current degree of completion."
Ian Lee did not answer Xiao Ran's question immediately. Instead, he turned around and repeated Xiao Ran's question to the information processing personnel on the bridge. It was not until the information processing personnel completed the calculation that he turned around and answered loudly, "Thirty percent, the mass of the other half of the debris that continues to move towards the earth is still too large. If debris of this mass falls into the sea, it will cause tsunamis around the world."
"If it falls on the Australia continent, then everything on the Australia continent will be completely destroyed. At least 80% of the completion rate must be achieved to minimize the damage to the earth, and the last 20% must also be scattered on the earth in the form of fragments. After passing through the atmosphere, less than 8% of the fragments will be left."
"Only 30%, the time until the debris reaches the critical point." Xiao Ran gently tapped the armrest of his chair, and the information processing staff quickly gave Xiao Ran an answer, "Seventy minutes, but judging from the current situation, unless ZAFT appears with overwhelming force to eliminate the unknown terrorists, it will be difficult to complete the operation."
Ian Li looked at Xiao Ran and saw the eagerness and impatience in Xiao Ran's heart. After being silent for a while, he asked, "Do you need us to join too? If we join too, maybe we can buy some time."
"No." Xiao Ran gritted his teeth gently and said coldly, "I believe ZAFT can definitely do it, and there is no order or reason. If we do this, we will only get ourselves into trouble."
"But Colonel, you are obviously very worried, aren't you." Ian Lee continued, "Although the Colonel is the senior commander of a cruel force like the Phantom Pain, he will never attack innocent people. Even in battle, he will not deliberately hit the enemy's cockpit. You, Colonel, are not the ones who care about this, are you?"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ian Lee who looked calm. He never thought that Ian Lee would say such words, but Ian Lee continued to say, "I respect you very much, Colonel, so I will give full support to all your decisions, Colonel. No matter what you plan to do, Colonel, Gadi Lu will fight with you."
Everyone on the bridge was silent and listened to what Ian Lee said, but no one objected to it. But just when everyone seemed to be gathering their morale and determination, Radar Control suddenly shouted out in surprise, "The radar has detected a new enemy, there is no relevant information, the number is eighteen, the speed is very fast, and they are heading in the direction of Junius 7."
"What? Reinforcements? Which side are they from?" Ian Lee was also stunned by Radar Control's shout, while Xiao Ran frowned slightly, and was so surprised that he did not forget to say, "Transfer the screen."
When the actual scene appeared on the screen, Xiao Ran and Ian Lee couldn't help but take a deep breath. "How is this possible?"
Eighteen machines are all the same G Series, Strike, Duel, Buster Gundam, Blitz Gundam and Aegis Gundam, and they are completely different from the first five G-series Mecha, and also different from the current Goufs. The G-series Mecha owned is even more different. None of the eighteen machines has a logo that belongs to Earth Force, but a logo that does not belong to the United, ZAFT, or Orb at all. All the logos on the eighteen machines are exactly the same, a temple and a yellow halo.
"Librarian!? Why did he appear here?" Xiao Ran was very familiar with this logo, and his heart sank immediately. During the last war, the librarian broke in once, but he didn't expect that he would break in again now and like this. Such a huge power, and these eighteen machines have not yet come into contact with ZAFT, so even Xiao Ran cannot understand which side these guys who come out of nowhere are on.
But soon, the development of things gave Xiao Ran an accurate answer. After the eighteen machines belonging to the librarians came into contact with ZAFT, a nearly massacre battle began, and Xiao Ran's heart sank to the bottom with these librarians.
Because Xiao Ran can almost infer that the machines driven by these librarians may be photocopied clones of their participants.
Not only Xiao Ran, but also Durandal on Minerva was almost confused by this sudden enemy. His gentle expression turned into a cold face, and even his brows were frowned. Indeed, everything was arranged by him, but his next arrangement was to destroy Junius 7 and reduce the loss to an acceptable level. Originally everything was going according to plan, but now the situation is completely out of his control.
Less than a minute passed, and the Gadi Lu received a request from Minerva to help them destroy the Junius 7 fragments. After Ian Li read the request sent by Minerva, he also turned to look at Xiao Ran: "Colonel, do you have a reason to go to war now?"
"I will fly Chaos Gundam to attack, and let Stella and Orro help ZAFT deal with those unknown enemies. Contact with new targets without my permission is absolutely prohibited."
"Understood." Ian Lee nodded and said to CIC: "Let Gnaku prepare for an attack. All members will attack to help ZAFT destroy the fragments of Junius 7."
Just when Xiao Ran was about to leave the bridge, Radar Control shouted again and he breathed out softly, "Report, there is a high-speed object on the earth entering the universe. This... is a battleship, Second Archangel that disappeared in the last war!"
At this moment, a reminder belonging to Prometheus popped up in his mind.
