--Lacus perspective--
With the assistance and cooperation of Haman, Lacus first witnessed the powerful combat power of the 'Celestial Being' flagship in Gwameir's genna cabin:
Just Newtype dedicated to Bigro Custom, there are three others including Haman dedicated to Newtype Bigro Custom.
In terms of conventional mobile weapons, in addition to the direct team of Cima that has already attacked, two other 4-machine High Mobility Zaku II teams equipped with conventional Bigro Custom have also launched.
Of course, the current loading capacity of Gwameir slightly exceeds the standard loading capacity, but it has not yet reached the extreme loading situation where it is completely inactive.
And this slight overload itself was intentional when we separated from the support fleet led by Aina.
The purpose is to ensure that Gwameir can respond to the worst possible situation as a single ship, while also facing the needs of the Archangel, Creuset Team and 8th Fleet advance teams.
So now we only have to face the 8th Fleet advance team alone, which is undoubtedly a killing opportunity.
After most of the mobile weapons units in the Gna cabin were dispatched, only Luther's 'Time Observer' and Haman's were left in the Gna cabin. With Newtype's dedicated Bigro Custom and one or two backup aircraft in the corner, the crew of Silver Wind also arrived at the genna cabin under the guidance of the 'Celestial Being' petty officer.
Of course, although they had reported safety through internal communication before, the crew of Silver Wind immediately became excited when they saw Lacus, who seemed to be unscathed, and some even cried for joy.
As the leader of these people, the captain of Silver Wind suppressed his emotions and saluted Lacus.
"Master Lacus, it's great to see with my own eyes that you are safe and sound."
"This is all thanks to everyone's efforts, and I am very happy to see that everyone is safe and sound."
Facing the crew members of Silver Wind, Lacus bowed seriously in return, which once again caused a commotion among the crew members.
"Lacus-sama!" (talking all over the place)
Haman next to Lacus looked at this scene that he was used to seeing next to Luther, and secretly let out a "cut" sound a little impatiently;
Perhaps sensing Haman's impatience, Lacus also stretched out his hand to silence everyone's voices and softly made a 'request'.
"Although everyone is still very tired, and I heard that Silver Wind has only barely completed the initial repairs, I still have one thing to ask of you."
"Master Lacus, what are you talking about? Please give me the order!"
After the crew either expressed support or nodded in recognition of Captain Silver Wind's response on their behalf, Lacus also showed a charming smile.
"Thank you everyone.
I would like to trouble you all to drive Silver Wind from here. After a grand circle outside, you can just transfer to the boat deck of Gwameir.
Although there should be no risk, after all, Silver Wind has just completed repairs, so please don't be careless."
Faced with Lacus's request, it was naturally the captain of Silver Wind who responded on behalf of the Silver Wind crew.
"Such a trivial matter is nothing to worry about, just leave it to us, Lord Lacus!"
After saying that, after receiving a nod from Lacus, the captain of Silver Wind turned to the crew.
"Young men, please listen to the order clearly and board the ship! For Lord Lacus!"
"For Lord Lacus."
Lacus and Haman watched everyone board the ship, and then watched Silver Wind being lifted to the sortie cabin just like Bigro Custom after communicating with the ground crew and maintenance personnel in the genna cabin.
"Sorry Haman for keeping you waiting. Let's go back to the bridge."
Faced with Lacus's words, Haman unexpectedly did not act immediately. Instead, he left a sentence after a moment of silence.
"For brother Luther's career, you are much more useful than that sneaky cat Flay.
So although I don't like your attributes that are more similar to mine, I give you permission."
Facing Haman who turned around and left immediately after saying that, Lacus immediately followed, but couldn't help but feel entangled in his heart:
This is to ensure that Patrick·Zala does not go to extremes and insists on maintaining the engagement with Athrun;
Or to better ensure the independence of Clyne Faction, stay single and wait for a more suitable candidate who may exist;
Or at the cost of partially losing independence, choose to enter into a political marriage with Mr. Luther·Deikun of 'Celestial Being';
Or...
--Cagalli perspective--
Walking alone on the already familiar road from the Gwameir bridge to the living area, Cagalli was still in confusion.
I originally thought it was a simple issue of war and peace, but after listening to the analysis of Luther and Lacus, who seemed to be of the same age, I found that my thoughts were so naive.
Sure enough, he was still too well protected by his father?
Cagalli thought this way, and then laughed at himself - can this be considered his father's fault?!
Looking back now, when my father faced his stupid question about why he helped Earth Alliance develop mobile suits, I'm afraid it wasn't that he was speechless, but that he didn't know how to explain it clearly to his naive self!
And the battle on the front line is more cruel than one's cruelest imagination.
Whether it's against the 'invincible' Haman, or against the 'Pirates' who were 'defeated' solely by virtue of the machine's superior performance;
Now that I think about it calmly, my legs can't help but tremble, and I even feel the urge to urinate...
"Is this the real battlefield...
It's completely different from the experience on the simulator...
So, what will a war like the World Tree battle be like...
If there is not enough strength, will Orb's army also face this situation?"
Thinking of this, Cagalli couldn't help but recall Luther and Lacus, and the unfinished topics about the 'Ouroboros' operation and Kaguya Spaceport...
"No, actually Luther and Lacus have made it very clear. I don't want to admit it myself!"
After recognizing this fact, a picture emerged in Cagalli's mind involuntarily:
The familiar city was turned into a sea of flames, the people close to him went to the battlefield, and the citizens who should be protected fled in all directions, but he could only watch helplessly as his father went to die but was forcibly taken away by his father's men...
Cagalli held his head in pain, feeling like something was about to burst in his head!
"Cagalli? Cagalli What's wrong with you, Cagalli!"
At this critical moment, Cagalli heard the familiar and concerned voice of Flay, and then Cagalli felt like he had entered a warm embrace.
"It's okay, Cagalli is okay. With 'Celestial Being' and Mr. Luther here, it's very safe here."
Under Flay's patient comfort, Cagalli finally calmed down;
Wiping away the tears that had flowed all over his face, Cagalli suddenly apologized to Flay.
"I'm sorry about Flay, Heliopolis. As the daughter of representative Athha, I haven't properly apologized to you yet."
"What are you talking about? Cagalli, it's all in the past.
And on Gwameir, I also feel very happy, and I can't wait to share it with my dad!
Dad is so slow, why haven't you come yet?"
After hearing Flay's somewhat inexplicable response to Cagalli's sudden apology, Cagalli also remembered his mission.
"Ah, by the way. Luther asked me to come to you.
It is said that we are now facing the 8th Fleet advance fleet, and the Deputy Foreign Minister Alstar may be on Montgomery!"
"Hey! Dad, can you see daddy?
Oops, I haven't put on a facial mask today, and I have to reapply my makeup!"
