Regarding Xiao Ran's question, Sven shook his head in confusion. For him, everything that happened now was simply too subversive. A senior commander of Goufs turned into the supreme leader of Orb. This may not be that important, but after being imprisoned for such a long time in a state of indifference, he didn't really think about what to do.
However, before, without knowing the identity of Xiao Ran, he was almost incompetent and was defeated and captured. Now he knows the identity of Xiao Ran and heard the story of Kira and Athrun. Until now Xiao Ran This question from gave Sven a big impact. If he had such an opportunity, he really didn't want to go back to Phantom Pain, and he didn't know how to choose whether to accept Xiao Ran's invitation to join Orb.
Although Sven is a person trained by Blue Cosmos headed by LOGOS, he is very different from Stella, Sting, and Orro. The most important point is that at least physically he is still a normal person, has no dependence on drugs, and has not had his memory altered.
Therefore, even if it is regarded as a tool by the coalition, it is still a tool with its own thoughts, unlike the three Stellas before, where even memories and thoughts are controlled by the coalition. But if you choose not to go back to the United, Sven actually doesn't have many choices other than staying at Orb.
After exhaling a breath, Sven looked up at Xiao Ran: "What about my two teammates?"
Sven still has feelings for his two teammates. Even as friends, Sven hopes that the two teammates can escape the control of the phantom pain, instead of being used as tools by the phantom pain with no future.
Xiao Ran spread his hands, smiled slightly and said, "If you can convince them to join Orb, I can welcome them on behalf of Orb, but as far as I know, of the two people in your team, forget about the male one. But the attitude of the female pilot towards Coordinators is not that So friendly, and Orb is a place where Coordinators and natural people live together. If she is willing to join Orb, then I am afraid that I will impose certain restrictions on some of her behaviors. I will only lift the restrictions after the observation period and confirm that she has no problems. I hope you can understand."
When it comes to Sven's two teammates, I'm afraid no one knows them better than Sven. He also knows that what Xiao Ran said is true, so he nodded without any rebuttal and said, "I understand, and I will try my best to convince them."
Sven's words also mean that he agreed to join Orb. As he said before, if he is unwilling to go back to Phantom Pain, then staying in Orb is the only option, and his friend Emilio also chose to join Orb, and compared to the Phantom Pain, joining Orb can indeed make them live like a person instead of a tool, so in fact, Sven has nothing to really hesitate or embarrass.
After both of them agreed, Xiao Ran also smiled in a good mood, but joining in means joining. Although Xiao Ran will not limit the freedom of the two of them, it will also give them enough time to walk around in Orb. It is really If you want to know more about Orb, there will also be people monitoring the two of them for a long time. Even if Xiao Ran doesn't mention this, Sven and Emilio can both imagine and understand it.
Xiao Ran released the two of them directly from prison, chose to believe them and gave them relative freedom just because of their words, and also allowed them to freely choose to act in Orb. This is already considered Xiao Ran represents Orb's great trust. Sven and Emilio will never feel anything bad even if they know that someone will definitely follow them and monitor them.
After Xiao Ran asked someone to arrange accommodation for the two of them, the person who came with them took them away again. After the car left, Xiao Ran turned around again and continued to face the sea. Hearing the sound of the waves coming from the seaside, he waved to the side.
Following Xiao Ran's movements, the guard captain also quickly ran to Xiao Ran's side and bent slightly to make a listening gesture.
"Those Goufs people, unlike the unknown about this unit after I recovered my memory, should know a lot of information about this unit. Find a suitable opportunity to communicate with them and ask them to hand over Goufs's information as much as possible."
The guard captain nodded and remembered Xiao Ran's words. Although Xiao Ran just said to find a suitable time, the captain had already planned to inquire about the situation from the two people tomorrow. Although the person who inquired about the situation did not necessarily have to be him as a guard, Xiao Ran's order could be conveyed to any place in Orb through him, and someone would naturally take over the matter.
The role of Sven and Emilio for Orb is not only reflected in their driving and operation of MS, but also for Goufs He definitely knows a lot more than Xiao Ran, and the revelation of how many unreasonable things he has done for Phantom Pain can also become a booster for Durandal's plan to deal with LOGOS.
In the following time, Sven and Emilio really began to live in Orb as civilians under the arrangement of Xiao Ran. After coming into contact with Orb Coordinators and natural persons, The friendship between them was different from the devastation caused by wars around the world. The two people's souls once again suffered a very special impact. Although this impact left them a little confused, they still felt the faint warmth and warmth in their hearts. They seemed to understand what Xiao Ran meant by protecting.
Although Xiao Ran was also paying attention to the situation of the two of them, it was just paying attention. It did not interfere in the lives of the two of them, and they also did not urge them when they decided to enter Orb Army, making these two controlled by phantom pain since childhood. For people who have always been exposed to the dark and murderous side of the world, coming into contact with such a peaceful scene like Orb is also a kind of baptism for the souls of these two people. Xiao Ran believes that after experiencing such a baptism, they will naturally gradually understand their true thoughts.
As for Second Archangel, because it was heading to the ZAFT Gibraltar base, its contact with the local Orb gradually began to decrease. The distance was one reason, and the timeliness of communication was another reason.
However, the latest news from Second Archangel was that when they went to the ZAFT Gibraltar base, they met Minerva who was being surrounded and fought hard by Combined Fleet near Kleta, and asked Xiao Ran what Second Archangel should do.
When Xiao Ran received this news, he was in a huge underground testing space of Akatsuki Works of Orb, waiting for the first test result produced by Akatsuki Works The test of the new version of the test machine began, and on the entire viewing platform, in addition to Xiao Ran, there were also a lot of senior officers from Orb, senior officials from Akatsuki Works, and members of the cabinet.
When the secretary hurriedly reported the news to Xiao Ran, basically everyone sitting behind Xiao Ran knew such a thing, and the request for instructions printed out on white paper fell into the hands of Xiao Ran. Judging from the time, half an hour had passed since Second Archangel sent this message.
Seeing this news, Xiao Ran was also stunned for a moment, and also frowned slightly. Second Archangel triggered the time Xiao Ran did not deliberately choose the time, and Minerva returned to the Gibraltar base in the original plot and suffered The scene of the attack should be the time when Athrun's savior was cut into human sticks and Orr died in battle, and Xiao Ran doesn't know when exactly this happened.
So after seeing this request for instructions, Xiao Ran had to say that it was an outrageous coincidence. He really didn't expect that although the general trend had not changed much, the details had been completely changed, and Second Archangel was so caught up in it. The target of Second Archangel this time is the Gibraltar base, which is the same as the target of Minerva. This seems a bit difficult to handle.
It makes sense to help, and it makes sense not to help. After all, although ZAFT and Orb have no alliance, they are still cooperative. It is indeed unjustifiable to refuse to save them. After all, both parties have a common goal, and Durandal is indeed in this matter. He showed considerable sincerity, and even took the initiative to hand over the librarian's Photocopy Person to him. Although Xiao Ran was not sure what the conspiracy was, at least on the surface, Durandal's sincerity was at least fulfilled.
It's okay not to help. After all, even if Orb cooperates with ZAFT, it is not an alliance after all. Orb is also a Neutral Countries. I will see if you hit yours. At worst, it makes sense to take the initiative to protect ZAFT's people after the battle is over.
But doing this is indeed a bit hurtful, at least on the surface. But the real key is that Minerva now has Athrun, Zhen Feiya, and Lei as the main force in the battle. These three people can't have any problems at all. Moreover, the message sent by Second Archangel still says that Minerva is fighting hard. Xiao Ran cannot turn a blind eye to this alone.
After frowning for a few seconds, Xiao Ran said to the secretary next to him without much thought, "Let Second Archangel pass through the middle of the battlefield and hit whoever dares to attack. Just be polite to Minerva, and just hit them casually to show off. If the United dare to open fire, hit me hard."
The secretary was stunned after hearing Xiao Ran's words. Then he pursed his lips and nodded, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, and then left at a trot, twisting his butt and leaving.
Xiao Ran is not joking when he says that he wants to hit hard. With the current combat configuration of Second Archangel, although there is only one battleship, it is not difficult to hit hard. With so many special-purpose aircraft and the existence of B-class Mecha, a joint fleet will still have this ability.
The command of Xiao Ran was quickly spread from Orb, and due to time constraints, the equipment in Orb was used to increase the communication signal and try to use more It was transmitted to Second Archangel in a short time. Even so, even after a lot of communication transfers, there was still a delay of fifteen minutes before Xiao Ran's words were sent to Second Archangel.
After Bargyll saw Xiao Ran's words, he smiled helplessly and looked at Mu, who was standing next to him and was also paying attention to the battle ahead, and said, "The order is here."
Mu turned his head and asked, "What should I say?"
"Let's drive directly from the middle." As soon as Bargyll said it, Mu understood what Xiao Ran was thinking. He laughed and said, "This is a good idea, so I'll go down and prepare first."
"Yes." Bargyll nodded, and after Mu left, he started to issue an order with a serious face on the bridge of Second Archangel: "The whole ship is in the first combat state. All pilots board the aircraft immediately and set sail. Inform the entire ship that we will pass through the middle of the battlefield. All aircraft and units pay attention to safety. There is no need to take the initiative to attack, but if attacked, they can launch a counterattack as soon as possible."
CIC quickly passed on the command from Bargyll, and soon began to arrange the attack procedures of each aircraft in Second Archangel, because Second Archangel only has two launch ports, and in view of the fact that there are so many missiles attached to the body Under such circumstances, it is not possible to complete the attack of all the airframes in a short time, and the two airframes that attacked for the first time were the Crimson Forbidden driven by Billy and the Midnight Gundam driven by Mayu.
"Crimson Forbidden, Midnight Gundam, are ready to attack. Black Strike, Crimson Aegis are ready to attack."
"Roger that."
Following the orderly arrangement of CIC, each machine body flew out of Second Archangel's launch port and began to surround Second Archangel, while Gaea Gundam and several others who did not have the ability to fly The machine body jumped directly to the upper deck of Second Archangel and also assumed an attacking position. Abyss Gundam gave up the ejection action, walked directly to the outside of the hatch and jumped into the sea on its own initiative.
Second Archangel's movements also attracted Minerva and Earth Force who were fighting. It turned out that Second Archangel suddenly appeared in this position Earth Force The E side still seemed a little worried, but although the United side did not win Minerva after such a long time, they were still relieved that Second Archangel had not made any moves.
But Minerva was different. When he discovered Second Archangel, Captain Talia never thought of asking for help from Second Archangel. Even Second Archangel released Heine. The aircraft he piloted later expressed his gratitude to Second Archangel. Although Second Archangel did not really join the battle, in general, it also alleviated some of the pressure on Minerva because of the United's fear of Second Archangel.
But if it were Zhen Asuka, this guy had always been aggrieved during the battle. What a bastard, he refused to save his life. These words also came out of his mouth from time to time. He remembered his identity, but now he had to fight hard for Minerva and ZAFT. Although he understood in his heart that it was not convenient for Second Archangel to take action, he also had a lot of complaints on his lips.
And now Second Archangel actually started to move forward and released so many MS, which immediately shocked the United Party and Minerva, especially Athrun and Zhen. The two of them did not understand Second Archangel. Despite E's intention, he saw that there was a tendency to actively join the battle there. It was clear that the neutral country's position was thrown aside. This would definitely cause Orb a lot of trouble. How could he not be shocked and surprised?
"Those guys, if they are coming, why didn't you come earlier, you bastards." Zhen gritted his teeth and cursed angrily. Although he said that, in fact, what he was thinking was something else, "What is that battleship doing? Why should this kind of battle be involved? Assholes, aren't you afraid that Orb will get into trouble and war again?"
In my heart, I may have guessed that the reason why Second Archangel took action after waiting for so long was because he had received an order from Orb's homeland. Perhaps it was because of him, Lei, and Athrun.
Under such anger, Impulse Gundam actually exploded with higher combat capabilities under Zhen's driving. At this moment, Zhen's eyes had become blank. He looked blank, but in fact, he triggered his own power, SEED.
Zhen, who had unleashed his SEED ability, destroyed several joint Windams in the blink of an eye. Now he only had one idea: to solve the current situation as soon as possible and not let Orb's battleships and MS join the battle.
But even if it was true, facing the ambush and siege that had been premeditated by the United Nations, how could it be possible to end the battle before Second Archangel entered the battlefield at a distance as small as the naked eye's sight range, and Second Archangel had no choice but to choose the busiest place in the battle area and pass by. The numerous mobile suit protections around Second Archangel took up a large area in the battle area.
And that kind of slow and unhurried progress made everyone in Minerva sweat for the people on Second Archangel, not to mention the members of Second Archangel who were in the middle of the battlefield. Sweat was pouring from their foreheads, and everyone raised their concentration to 120%. Not only the battleship personnel, but also the M S-Class Pilots also tightly grasped their operating levers and were ready to fight back at any time.
The entry of Second Archangel almost divided the combat area into two halves, one half was in the direction of Minerva, and the other half was in the direction of Earth Force, which greatly hindered the joint offensive. Second Archangel's actions also made the commander of Earth Force furious. For a moment, he didn't know whether to ignore Second Archangel, continue to attack Minerva at the risk of accidental damage, or stop there or attack Second Archangel together.
