Two weeks have passed in a flash. Both Orb and ZAFT have been working hard to prepare for the attack on Moon Base. They want to attack a base that has been jointly operated for many years. The space base does not mean that if you want to attack, you can just lead the troops there, especially when Orb needs to cross from the earth to the space to fight. Even if you seize the time, the preparations took almost two weeks.
In the past two weeks, Orb's troops did not just stay in one place without any movement. They have been annihilating the remaining forces of LOGOS all over the world, annihilating the remaining coalition forces on the earth, and creating an illusion for the universe that they are still busy stabilizing the earth. At the same time, they did not relax at all on the moon, paying attention to the Requiem hanging above their heads.
Xiao Ran even personally drove Justice Gundam and was active in various battlefields. In order to improve the completion of tasks, he cleaned up the forces and troops belonging to LOGOS. During the two weeks of battle, the Phantom Pain was located on the ground. The ball's troops were completely wiped out, and the secret service intelligence agency hidden under the alliance was also wiped out. Xiao Ran even met several pilots who were as powerful as Emilio, Sven and others.
Although the large army of Orb is still on the earth, Archangel quietly went to the universe with its full load, and joined Cruze and the fleet at Heaven's Pillar. The passengers included Mu, Billy, Mayu, and Athrun The foursome of, Kira, Eshe, the Stella trio and Ace Pilot of Orb have also merged with Lacus and Eternal in the universe.
In addition, Dearka and Miriallia also returned to Orb, and were arranged by Xiao Ran to join Second Archangel. Going to the universe, Miriallia became the CIC of Archangel, and Dearka boarded the Buster Gundam, which was received from the Librarian Organization.
After receiving the surrender of the librarians, Orb also received the bodies of many librarians, such as Cyclone Savior, Misty Rage Gundam, Buster Duel, Gale Strike, etc. Derivatives of G Series, these machines may originally be on par with the Mass-produced Mecha from various forces in terms of performance, but with the librarian's technology, the new derivatives have completely surpassed the performance of the prototype, so currently these derivatives of G Series can be put to use.
In addition to these people, another person who also drove the Providence Gundam derivative also joined the team after Archangel entered Heaven's Pillar. This person was Commander Preia, the former librarian. At the request of Xiao Ran, he also temporarily became a member of the Archangel combat force.
The new machine Lacus prepared for Kira and Athrun has been handed over to the two people. However, the specific data and performance of the machine Xiao Ran or Orb are not available, but what is certain is that both machines are equipped with it. Solar Furnace, as early as two years ago Lacus arranged for personnel to start manufacturing GN Solar Furnace, instead of the red imitation version, it is completely improved by Coordinators technology and shortened the time required to manufacture the genuine Solar Furnace.
It is also equipped with components such as the Glow Transmitter thruster and Beam Shield delivered to Lacus by Xiao Ran, but after all, the two bodies are not Because of Orb, Mwu, who hosted Archangel in the universe, did not obtain more specific body information from Lacus.
Just when Orb was preparing to send the troops who had returned to Orb into the universe in batches, at the moment when the factory built by the last LOGOS on the earth was blasted by countless beams of light, Xiao Ran watched the fire explode in front of him, and a new reminder suddenly popped up in his mind:
"Ding, the mission of disintegrating LOGOS and exterminating the remaining forces of LOGOS has been completed. The current mission completion rate is 95%. You have obtained S-rank evaluation."
"S-rank evaluation will receive Golden Treasure Chest×2, and the rewards will be distributed after the mission ends."
"Ding, Main Mission Three, completely annihilate the alliance, break through Earth Force Moon Base, and destroy the alliance's ultimate weapon Requiem. This mission is a group mission for all camps except for the alliance force participants. Once Requiem is launched, it will be deemed a mission failure. Requiem attack time: 24:00:00."
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then raised his left hand. At this time, on the screen of the watch, a twenty-four-hour countdown in seconds was rapidly decreasing. Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment. He put down his left hand and pulled the operating lever to drive Justice Gundam, and quickly flew towards Second Archangel behind him.
"Bargyll, contact Durandal immediately and inform the local people to immediately send the remaining troops to the universe as quickly as possible regardless of the cost. See if there is any way nearby that can allow us to go to the universe immediately!"
Bargyll's somewhat puzzled voice sounded in the communicator, "What happened? I'll start contacting you immediately."
"I have a premonition that Requiem is about to launch, hurry up." Xiao Ran hung up the communication after saying that. He didn't realize when cold sweat broke out on his head. At this time, Xiao Ran was really starting to panic. Twenty-four hours The launch of Requiem may be just a matter of mission failure for other participants, but mission failure will not have too terrible consequences for them. Even if the mission fails, other participants will only deduct some rewards. If the rewards are reduced and the evaluation is low, they can return to Prometheus without any worries.
But once Requiem is fired, the impact on Xiao Ran will be huge, because Xiao Ran cannot be sure whether the place where Requiem's first shot attacked is PLA NT is still Orb, even though Xiao Ran has reminded Durandal to pay attention to Requiem's attack transfer to the intermediary, but who knows where ZAFT is currently? How many intermediaries did Bian destroy, and even if several intermediaries were destroyed, who can guarantee that Requiem will not attack Orb, and once Requiem attacks Orb, Xiao Ran's Faction Territory will be finished, and countless citizens living in Orb will also be finished. This will have an absolutely huge blow to Xiao Ran.
Main Mission Three only had twenty-four hours to complete, which was completely beyond Xiao Ran's imagination. He had originally thought that the changes in Durandal might cause the same changes in Main Mission Three, but he did not expect that this change would actually limit the time. The change would increase the difficulty of annihilating Moon Base, making this mission a limited-time mission with only one chance.
If you want to prevent the launch of Requiem, you must break through the joint Moon Base. Once you break through the joint Moon Base, it will be equivalent to wiping out the remaining forces of the joint. The key to the task is to break through Moon Base within twenty-four hours. But the current problem is, twenty-four hours The countdown has begun, but Xiao Ran is still on the earth at this time. Only at most one-third of Orb's Military Strength will be gradually sent to the universe within two weeks. It is impossible to send all the troops up in the remaining 24 hours, and there are no 24 hours to transport troops to the mainland.
The lack of troops will inevitably lead to many obstacles when attacking the joint Moon Base. This is another point where the difficulty of the mission is increased. Prometheus will indeed not make some messy things in the normal mission process, but the time limit of this mission alone is enough to increase the difficulty of the mission to a level corresponding to that after Xiao Ran changed the entire world plot.
Two minutes later, Justice Gundam flew into the hangar of Second Archangel. Just after the aircraft stopped and was not sent to the bracket for fixation, Xiao Ran opened the cockpit cover and jumped directly from above. Yes, a height of more than ten meters may be dangerous for ordinary people, but jumping from such a height with countless people watching in astonishment, it landed lightly with no impact at all, and instantly transformed into a fast running figure and disappeared into the Gnaku in the blink of an eye.
When Xiao Ran rushed into the bridge, it didn't take more than two minutes before he stood next to Bargyll and asked, "Have you notified them?"
Bargyll also nodded and said, "We have contacted Orb and asked them to transport troops to the universe as soon as possible. What happened?"
"There are still more than twenty-three hours and fifty minutes before Requiem united with Moon Base will be launched. Don't worry about where I know this from." Xiao Ran frowned and looked at Bargyll and said, "Now we must seize the time and go to the universe to stop it immediately. We have no time to waste here."
Bargyll's pupils shrank suddenly. Although it was a little strange where Xiao Ran got the news, it didn't mean that she would be concerned about what Xiao Ran said. After being suspicious, I asked Xiao Ran again for the most specific time. The same countdown as the one on the Xiao Ran watch also appeared on the home screen of Archangel.
"What should we do."
"Send all members and bodies of Silver Hand to the universe within three hours. No matter what method is used, Second Archangel must also go to the universe within the same time. The more troops that can be sent to the universe before the battle officially begins, the better. There is also our fleet in Heaven's Pillar. All the forces are put into the battle. Requiem must be prevented from launching at all costs."
"Three hours?" Bargyll frowned. Three hours was really too tight. Second Archangel didn't prepare any plug-in equipment to help it go to the universe when it set sail. It was like a joke to send Second Archangel to the universe within three hours.
Moreover, sending all the members of Silver Hand to the universe in three hours is also a very difficult task. Now that all Silver Hand are scattered all over the world, it is impossible to gather them together and transport them together in three hours. And relying solely on Orb's own power, it is impossible to send these scattered Silver Hand members individually to the universe in such a short period of time.
But Xiao Ran had a certain reason for doing this. Silver Hand is currently the most powerful MS Unit among Orb, and most of its members are also participants. They should have joined this mission, and during the battle, participants can also exert more powerful abilities than ordinary pilots.
As for Second Archangel, it is another reason. There are two large warheads from Fleet World in Second Archangel, MDE Bomb and Reaction Missile. The twenty-four-hour limit is too great. In addition to transporting to the universe, then gathering to the moon, and experiencing the battle with the Union, it is impossible to say how many are left. Maybe the 24 hours will be over before breaking the direction of the Union Moon Base, so Xiao Ran wants to take Second Archangel is sent to the universe, because only Second Archangel has the ability to launch two large warheads. The worst is to send the warhead to the universe, and the most is to manually drive the MS to send the warhead to the appropriate place for detonation. However, the person who detonated the warhead wants to It is probably impossible to escape. The key point is that ordinary pilots do not have the ability to protect the warhead from detonating smoothly in the chaotic battlefield. It will inevitably require a pilot with outstanding ability to do it. Therefore, Xiao Ran will not choose this artificial explosion method until the end.
"Three hours, three hours at most. Every extra minute saved is an advantage for us. We must not waste time." Xiao Ran patted Bargyll on the shoulder and looked in the direction of the big screen. "Contact Durandal."
After hearing what Xiao Ran said, CIC immediately began to try to contact Durandal. Because of the disintegration of the United Earth forces and the beginning of cooperation around the world, the communication intermediaries of various forces were completely connected together. It can be said that N-Jammer's interference with communications has been reduced to the minimum level, and it will basically not affect factual communications on a global scale.
A few minutes later, Durandal's figure appeared on the big screen. The sudden contact made Durandal feel a little strange, but before he spoke, Xiao Ran said directly, "I have definite news, less than two months ago. Fourteen hours later, Requiem combined with Moon Base will launch. The target is unknown but it is either PLANT or Orb. Now I am making arrangements to go to the universe. You need to respond immediately."
"What?" Durandal was shocked when he heard Xiao Ran's words. Then he saw a countdown in the upper right corner of the screen in front of him. Regarding the accuracy of Xiao Ran's intelligence, Durandal, like Bargyll, would not doubt it. Seeing the rapidly decreasing time, he also got angry and punched the table hard. "I will arrange it right away. Is there anything Orb needs help with?"
"There are indeed some things that need your help. I need to send Second Archangel to the universe. The Alliance has their ultimate weapon. Second Archangel also has the ultimate weapon belonging to Orb. If we can send Second Archangel up, we can stop Requiem The launch of is likely to be even greater. In addition, Silver Hand is now scattered in various places. It is also necessary to coordinate and use the power of various forces to help Orb send Silver Hand to the universe. There is not much time, and it is best to complete it within three hours."
