Chapter 580 Proposal

After getting Duanmu Huai's consent, the Minerva adjusted its direction and flew slowly towards the battleship according to the guidance of the Tribunal.

"It's unimaginable..."

The closer they got to the battleship, the more shocked the people on the Minerva were. After all, the imperial battleship of the Tribunal is really outstanding in appearance. The magnificent Gothic church, plus the huge black muzzles on both sides, is like a sacred city under the sunshine.

Most people are just amazed at the hugeness and magnificence of the battleship, but Talia, as the captain, has a complicated expression. Although she is not a full-time scientist, as a captain, Talia also understands how terrible the technology of the Tribunal is. You know, even in the universe, it is unimaginable to build such a huge battleship that is nearly five kilometers long, not to mention that it has entered the atmosphere of the planet. Logically speaking, with the mass and weight of this battleship, it would have caused a huge impact on the surrounding environment.

However, it is so stable in the air, and the impact on the surroundings is almost zero, as if it basically does not exist.

What kind of technology is this?

Talia is sure that ZAFT does not have this kind of technical ability, and I am afraid that the New Earth Federation does not have it either... Moreover, they call themselves the Inquisition... To be honest, this is not a peaceful word.

But from the situation just now, they are also enemies of space monsters, so the two sides may have some common points.

Maybe these people are aliens?

Just as Talia was thinking about these things, the Minerva had already arrived at the side of the Inquisition battleship, and then the hangar door opened, welcoming the Minerva in, and then docked on one of the berthing bridges in the hangar.

"Captain, what should we do next?"

To be honest, most of the members on the ship were a little nervous at this time, not knowing what to do.

"I will meet with the other party and explain the situation... Others stay on standby. I think the other party should not be hostile. After all, if they are hostile, we will definitely not be able to escape."

Well, this is true, and no one refuted it. In front of such a huge battleship, the Minerva is just like a small fishing boat, with no ability to fight back. If the other party really wanted to do something to them, I am afraid they would have done it long ago. However, we must be on guard.

"But Captain, you can't go alone......!"

"That's true......Then......"

Talia thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Ms. Ann Marie, Ms. Setsuko, Ms. Yaz, come with me."

"Huh?"

Hearing Talia's order, the three people whose names were called were shocked.

"Is this okay, Captain?"

"Yes, if I only bring the members of this ship, you may have some misunderstandings and concerns. Miss Ann Marie is a resident of this world, Miss Setsuko also met us because of the dimensional shock, and Miss Yaz originally boarded the machine for some reasons and stayed on the Minerva. I think you all have different positions, and you should be able to clearly convey the communication and discussion between me and the other party."

The girl called Setsuko by Talia is a girl with long brown hair and wearing a dark red uniform similar to ZAFT. Her name is Setsuko Ohara. She was originally a resident of another world. Before the [World Fusion] incident, she was teleported to this world with her companions due to the influence of the dimensional shock. At first, she was regarded as a thief who stole the ZAFT mecha and fought with the ZAFT team here. Later, they got to know each other through fighting, and the two sides gradually became familiar with each other.

It's just that the girl's expression at this moment is very gloomy. When she heard Talia's order, she just nodded silently without speaking.

Yaz. Saint Claus is a girl with blue twin ponytails who looks like a junior high school student. She was originally a refugee who was hiding from the war. During an attack, she boarded the aircraft that was placed in the hangar without authorization. Although she successfully defeated the enemy and protected herself and the shelter, she had to stay on the Minerva as a pilot because she was carrying military secrets.

It must be said that her experience really reminded Talia of someone and someone and... well, there is no need to say more about that.

Not to mention Ann Marie, she is a local resident of this planet and one of the ruling forces of this planet, from the Demon Cult.

Therefore, from a standpoint, these three people are not from Minerva, so they will definitely not help Talia hide any secrets from each other. This is also what Talia needs to avoid. After all, there are all kinds of people on this Minerva. If she only takes her own people, it will inevitably make people suspicious and uneasy.

The reason why they were chosen instead of others was that these three were relatively honest and would not get into trouble like others... They went there to communicate with each other instead of quarreling with each other. With the strength currently shown by the Tribunal, quarreling with them would definitely do more harm than good.

After the preparations were completed, the four of them came to the hatch, and then the hatch slowly opened - and then everyone saw a girl in a maid outfit standing there, waiting for them.

"The master is waiting for you, please follow me."

After the maid said this, she gestured to everyone to follow, and then turned and walked towards the passage on the other side, and Thalia and others hurriedly followed.

I have to say that they were somewhat relieved to see that the person appearing in front of them was a human being. After all, the style of this battleship was too strange. They were really worried about whether they would encounter some strange alien species... But the other party was For humans, it would be much easier.

but………

This ship is really awesome.

Following the maid walking in the corridor, Thalia and others couldn't help but marvel inwardly. To be honest, in their world, there are basically no interior decorations on ordinary battleships. Of course, this is not surprising. In other words, generally speaking, battleships are like this.

But the battleships of the Inquisition are obviously different. Not only does it have a magnificent appearance and a Gothic-style church, but the inside is also completely different from many battleships that everyone has seen before. Not only are the walls decorated with exquisite carvings, there are even... There are huge statues of knights in armor, and even if you look up at the dome, you can see the splendor and decoration on it.

This place is more suitable to be called a castle than a battleship.

Not to mention the huge floor-to-ceiling windows next to it...

Thalia looked at the huge glass window beside her, and could clearly see the scenery outside. Indeed, the scenery looks good like this, but generally speaking, battleships are not designed like this. The reason is also very simple. No matter what material the glass is made of, it is more fragile than the alloy hull. Once attacked, it will be easily damaged. If the Minerva followed this battleship's example of having floor-to-ceiling windows, it would probably have been shattered long ago.

But the Inquisition did this... Is their technology already so powerful, or is there another way to avoid this problem?

While Thalia was carefully looking around and collecting information, the maid also led them to the bridge.

"right here."

As the bridge door opened, Thalia and others also walked in. After seeing the scene clearly, the four of them were even more surprised.

Although they had seen many incredible things along the way, Thalia could guarantee that even so, when she walked into the bridge, Thalia still felt an unimaginable surprise and shock.

Not to mention the luxurious palace-like bridge, after all, this is already considered the characteristic of this battleship, but apart from that, what surprised Thalia and others the most - are the people.

Led by the maid, they did not see the crew of this battleship all the way, but now, Thalia finally saw it.

I saw people standing guard everywhere around this hall. They were all beautiful girls with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing white armor and holding spears and shields in their hands. But apart from that, the most surprising thing was, These girls all have a pair of white wings behind them, looking like angels in fairy tales.

To be honest, this even made Thalia and others feel as if they had mistakenly entered a mythical world, as if they were not in a battleship now, but more like they were in the palace of a god.

Under the throne in front of Thalia and others, there were several girls standing. They were all wearing very strange clothes, and they were looking at Thalia and others curiously. On the throne on the high platform, a bald man with a figure several times taller than an ordinary person and a fierce face was sitting there, staring at them indifferently.

"………………"

It has to be said that the moment she felt the bald man's eyes, Thalia felt as if her blood was flowing backwards, and her whole body was extremely cold, as if she had seen some kind of terrifying beast, and she almost couldn't help but fight. Tremble. But fortunately, this gaze only glanced past him and was quickly withdrawn.

"call……………"

Thalia let out a breath and looked around, only to realize that the others who followed her also looked like they had escaped from death.

At this moment, Duanmu Huai finally spoke.

"Hello, Captain Thalia, welcome to the Tribunal. I am Duan Muhuai, the Grand Inquisitor of the Tribunal."

"Hello, Mr. Inquisitor."

Thalia also came to her senses at this moment and bowed hurriedly.

"I am Talia, the captain of the ZAFT Alliance Minerva..."

"No more polite words like this. I heard that you want to have a chat with me?"

"Yes."

Thalia nodded, and then explained her intention. In fact, her idea is very simple, which is to exchange information with the Tribunal, explain the current situation, and ask the other party if they are willing to act with her... After all, we are all outsiders, and they may be able to take good care of each other.

Of course, Thalia dared not say that now. After all, the strength gap between the two sides was too great. From the current point of view, the Minerva was not qualified to join forces with the Tribunal. Therefore, she just explained the situation of the Minerva and expressed the hope of getting some help.

"Of course it's not a problem."

After listening to Thalia's request, Duanmu Huai nodded.

"I can provide the supplies you need. By the way, I have a question, what do you want to do next?"

"We are not sure yet... because we don't know how far away the planet is from the earth. We want to repair Minerva first, and then find a way to leave the planet and return to the earth."

"Um……………"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, then smiled.

"Well, I have a suggestion, let's make a deal."

"Deal?"

"Yes, I am also very interested in this world, so I hope I can take a few subordinates on the Minerva to act with you. But I want to make it clear in advance that the purpose of the Inquisition is not to intervene in human civil wars. Our targets are only demons, aliens and heretics. Therefore, if you fight with other human forces, then we will not help."

"This......"

Hearing this, Talia was somewhat embarrassed. Frankly speaking, she did not want to let these unknown mysterious people enter her warship. But to be honest, the situation is not strong now, and the other party has shown goodwill at least so far, plus... Talia also has her own little calculations.

She had seen the warships of the Tribunal, and from this she could estimate the strength of the Tribunal. Although Duanmu Huai claimed that they would not intervene in the internal fighting of humans, once the Minerva really encountered something, they would definitely not stand idly by... After all, the current situation of the Minerva was not very good, as they were already in such a difficult situation that they could not even find a place for repairs and maintenance.

At this time, every bit of strength counted and all should be used.

"Okay."

Thinking of this, Talia made a decision.

"I agree."
