Chapter 589 Target Locked

After returning to his room, Duanmuhuai immediately contacted Audrey.

"Audile, inform Aikote to bring me a moon-class vessel."

"Hey? Mr. Knight, is it finally our turn to take action?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's order, An was very excited. After all... she had been watching a show all this time, and she was almost tired of watching it. But An is still very obedient and knows that the power of the Tribunal cannot be used casually. But now that Duanmu Huai has begun to mobilize battleships, does it mean that Duanmu Huai seems to have found the enemy?

"It's almost the same. It's just that we're still in the observation stage. We're moving a warship just in case."

"Then who is our enemy?"

"Archangel."

"…………………Why???"

It has to be said that Ann, Mary and Lumière were all surprised when they heard Duanmuhuai's answer. Only Ogis was still sitting next to her expressionlessly, reading her book calmly.

"The Archangel is... the one that appeared on the battlefield before?"

"Why them? Didn't they say they were coming to stop the war?"

"Listen up, little girls."

Hearing the curious inquiries from the girls, Duanmu Huai chuckled.

"Since you are working in the Tribunal, I have to tell you one thing - in the Tribunal, what you have to be careful about is not the idiots who are crazy and shouting about destroying the world all day long, but you should be more careful about these idiots. A gentleman who speaks of benevolence, peace and justice.”

"This... Mr. Duanmu, do you mean that the other party is just using this slogan as a cover, but actually has another purpose?"

Mary asked curiously - Well, I have to say that this is indeed in line with a writer's thinking.

"That's part of it, but the tougher part is the guys who actually believe in the slogans."

"I do not quite understand."

Lumière shook her head.

"If the other party truly believes in freedom, peace and justice, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

"So, what kind of freedom, what kind of peace, and what kind of justice?"

Duanmu Huai sneered.

"Isn't it just to stop the war? I tell you that I can do it too."

"Hey? What are you going to do?"

"It's very simple. First blow up the Earth, then blow up the PLANT, and kill both sides. Then there will be no war?"

"Uh...this is too..."

"Don't be too fussy, just say that the war prevented it!"

"………………"

Facing Duanmu Huai's words, everyone was speechless for a moment.

Well, although there is a bit of that, but in terms of the result, the war was indeed prevented. After all... everyone was killed, who would fight?

One hundred thousand Yin soldiers?

"So you see, it's that simple."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

"Kindness, justice, and peace are all ambiguous concepts. World peace is a good thing, but what exactly should be done to achieve world peace? Fight for justice, so what do you mean by justice? These are all Something that no one else understands except the person speaking, and sometimes kindness itself is the greatest evil.”

After saying this, Duanmu Huai chuckled.

"You see, it's like many times when two countries are at war, it would be over if one side loses and the other side wins, but in the end, there are still people coming to mediate, and some humanitarian relief is needed, and they say that the war should not hurt civilians, and so on. , As a result, the war that was supposed to end in one month was delayed for a year. Only God knows. The longer the war lasts, the more people will die. What’s the point of rescue? The same goes for the Archangel. They may really believe that they can prevent the war, but in fact their arrival only intensifies the intensity of the war and more people die.”

"Ah, I understand."

Hearing this, An seemed to suddenly realize it and clapped her hands suddenly.

"This is why, Mr. Knight, you always say that the goal of the Tribunal is to protect mankind, not to be a messenger of justice, right?"

"Yes, children can be taught."

Duanmuhuai nodded.

"Protecting mankind is a very clear goal. As long as we have eliminated the enemies that threaten mankind and whether mankind has survived, we will know whether our goal has been achieved. Protect, destroy, conquer... Clear goals bring clear goals. As a result, the ambiguous goals of fighting for justice, fighting for peace, and fighting for freedom will only become the trigger for prolonging the war.”

Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.

"As for love, peace and justice, what's the use of shouting slogans? In the final analysis, it's like driving in heavy fog and falling off a cliff to your death."

In fact, among the enemies of the Tribunal, there are many similar "braves" or "just men". As mentioned before, the player once encountered a rebellion on a planet. One side was the resistance army who was bewitched by the evil god, and the other side was She is a righteous church saint. Both sides fought for their beliefs, and in the end, justice won, and the saint was directly tied to the stake and burned to death by the player.

The reason is very simple. The Saint is also the evil god's pawn. As long as the two sides fight, the evil god will win. It doesn't need to care about which side wins next. As for whether the saint herself has good motives, it is meaningless. The Inquisition only looks at the results.

Those guys who shed tears of pain and confess "I didn't expect this to happen, I just thought it was the right thing to do" will only die before the hammer of the Inquisition.

Therefore, Duanmuhuai doesn't care whether the people on the Archangel really believe in that stupid belief, or if they just use it as a cover to achieve their own ulterior purposes. The fact is that the emergence of the Archangel caused the war. Prolongation and the meaningless death of human beings——this is different from the conquest between the two forces, and it is already considered heresy.

Therefore, from the moment they were deemed heretics by the Inquisition, the fate of the Archangel and his crew was already doomed.

"Dong dong dong."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Anmari walked in.

"Ah, I'm sorry to bother you all, but have you seen Miss Setsuko?"

"Setsuko? No."

"Did you go for a walk?"

After all, the Minerva is currently being repaired in a secret ZAFT stronghold, and there is no other place to go, right?

"I don't know, but her mecha is not in the hangar. No one knows where she went... Everyone is a little worried..."

"Liumiel, investigate."

"clear."

Lumière nodded, then reached out and tapped on the terminal for a moment.

"Found it. Miss Setsuko seems to have received a message from someone and then left."

"who?"

"A man named Toby... He said he had something important to tell Miss Setsuko and asked her to go alone."

"Why?!"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai and others had no reaction, but Anmari was shocked.

"How can it be?"

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Mr. Toby came to this world together with Miss Setsuko, one of her companions, but... in the previous battle, he was already dead! Even the machine was destroyed!"

"So what is this? A letter from a ghost?"

"...Please don't, stop joking..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Anmali's face suddenly turned pale. She really didn't expect that this magician was actually afraid of ghosts.

"Anyway, let's go see what's going on."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stood up.

After all, being idle is idle, right?

At the same time, in the snowfield, the battle also came to an end.

"boom!"

The blue machine fell heavily to the ground. Setsuko Kohara staggered out of the broken machine, panting.

"Why... why did it become like this."

Setsuko's eyes were blank as she looked at the broken machine in front of her. Not long ago, Setsuko received a message from her companion Toby who was supposed to die. The other party claimed that he had something very important to tell her and hoped that she could go to the designated place alone. Although Setsuko also suspected that there was something wrong with this, she still drove the mecha to the designated location just in case.

As a result, when Setsuko came to this snowy field, she was surrounded by a group of dark drone mechas. Setsuko was no stranger to these mechas. They had been following them since they came to this world. Chase yourself. And his captain and Toby were also killed in the battle with these mechas!

And now, they are targeting themselves!

Although the enemy was outnumbered, Setsuko did not escape. Instead, he drove the mecha forward and wiped out the black mecha army. But in the end, Setsuko encountered a yellow mecha and was evenly matched.

Just when the two sides reached a stalemate, suddenly, Toby suddenly appeared driving his mecha and fought off the yellow mecha.

To be honest, Setsuko was extremely surprised when she saw this scene. You must know that Tobi had died a long time ago. She watched the opponent die with her own eyes, and the remaining parts of Tobi's mecha had already been integrated into her own. In the mecha, what's going on with Tobi?

Didn't he die back then?

Just when Setsuko was excited about being reunited with her companions, what she didn't expect was that the other party actually launched a direct attack on her! Setsuko, who had not expected to be stabbed by one of her own people, was caught off guard and the aircraft was severely damaged. It was not until this moment that the aircraft disguised as Tobi regained its original appearance.

"That, that's..."

Setsuko looked pale as she looked at the pitch-black mecha in front of her. She was very familiar with this machine. It was the machine of the man who killed the captain and Toby before!

"Crack!"

At the same time, the hatch of the black mecha opened, and then, a figure jumped out and walked to Setsuko. It was a young man with black hair. He stared at Setsuko coldly, without any warmth in his eyes.

"You, who are you?"

"I'm Asakim, Dovan."

"It was you who...killed the captain and Toby...! Why did you do that!"

"Why?"

Hearing Setsuko's inquiry, Asakim sneered, stretched out his hand, grabbed Setsuko's hair, and forced her to raise her head to look at him.

"You want to know my purpose? It's very simple. I just want you to suffer for it. Come on, give me your tears of despair!"

Asakim suddenly raised his right hand and slapped Setsuko in the face, knocking him to the ground.

"First, I want to carve pain and fear on your body..."

"no, do not want…………!"

"Despair, Setsuko, let your heart be completely enveloped in sadness! I want you to always remember the sadness and pain of such an important person being taken away!"

As he spoke, Asakim reached out his hand again, tore Setsuko's uniform apart, and pushed the girl to the ground.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Someone, please help me! Help me...!"

"Hahahahahaha!!"

Listening to the desperate screams of the girl who fell in front of him, Asakim laughed loudly.

"Keep shouting, this blissful cry! Pain, sigh, and then fall with unbearable sorrow! Ah ha ha ha ha... Wu!"

However, Asakim's laughter stopped abruptly at this moment, and then blood spurted out from his chest and sprinkled on the girl's face.

"Ugh...ah..."

Asakim's eyes widened, and his smiling face that was distorted by elation just now was full of doubts. He lowered his head and looked towards his chest - he saw a huge blade with a chain saw. It just penetrated his body.

At the same time, another voice came from behind Asakim.

"Wow, as a man, you actually do such a shameless thing. I think you are tired of living, so...just go to hell!"

“Buzz————————!!”

Accompanied by Duanmu Huai's words, the penetrated Asakim was suddenly lifted up by him. The next moment, the chain sword rotated crazily, quickly cutting through Asakim's flesh and bones!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Under the severe pain, Asakim screamed loudly, and then Duanmuhuai raised his chain sword high, just like a wood chopper holding an ax that had hit the wood, and smashed it hard against the ground!

"boom!!"

"Ugh...ah..."

At this moment, Asakim's body had been completely split from the middle, leaving only the head and neck parts still connected. An ordinary person would have died long ago, but Asakim was still vomiting blood at this moment, but he had no intention of dying. He raised his head and glared at Duanmuhuai fiercely.

"It's useless, don't even try to kill me, I'm immortal...immortal...!"

"Oh, I don't think so."

Duanmu Huai raised the chain sword again, and this time - black flames appeared on the sword.

"To be honest, I've seen a lot of idiots like you who seek death just because they can't die, so let me bring you the destruction you desire - prepare to accept your destined death!"

The next moment, the chain sword slashed down again, piercing directly into Asakim's head, splitting the pretty boy's face directly in the middle. At this time, Asakim's expression finally changed.

"This, what kind of power is this? What kind of flame is this?"

"Despair and suffer, your soul will be thrown into the flames of the Tribunal and become fuel, and your life will end here!"

"No, no, no————!!"

Asakim struggled desperately and twisted his body, but it had no effect. The rotating chain saw directly split his head and completely cut open his body. The next moment, pitch-black flames erupted instantly, completely covering Asakim's body in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Asakim's pitch-black body parked not far away exploded.

"boom-----!"

With the explosion and burning of black flames, the pitch-black body and its owner were completely swallowed up.

"I'm done. I didn't expect that I would see such an 18R plot when I came here."

Duanmu Huai retracted his chain sword and looked at Kiezi who fell not far away, his clothes torn and his body covered in blood and unconscious.

"...Forget it, let's take her back first and then talk about it."
