Chapter 593 Separation

With the destruction of the Archangel, the explosion of the Freedom Gundam, and the death of the pilot Kira, the battle finally came to an end.

However, for everyone, what impressed them most was the murderous behavior of the Inquisition.

Although everyone on the Minerva had seen the warships of the Inquisition before, and they had also been with Duanmu Huai and others for a while, because they had never fought together, they had never seen what the Inquisition looked like in battle. In their impression, although Duanmu Huai and others were a little difficult to get close to, they were not objects that could not be communicated with.

However, the attack on the Archangel completely broke everyone's thoughts, and the Inquisition showed its murderous side for the first time.

The war between the Earth Federation and PLANT was mainly to determine the winner, just like Captain Talia's communication to the Archangel before, as long as the other party surrendered, they were willing to accept it.

But the Inquisition was different. For the Inquisition, the so-called enemy was to be completely destroyed and eliminated, leaving no one behind, and there would be no negotiation, let alone compromise. Like the Orb and Earth Federation forces that Minerva encountered before, if it were the Inquisition, they would probably just destroy them all without mercy.

Surrender? No, no matter what choice you make, when they are identified as enemies that need to be eliminated by the Inquisition, their fate is destined to be only one - tragic death and complete destruction.

"Then, we should also say goodbye."

Duanmu Huai looked at Captain Talia in front of him and said, the latter's expression was quite complicated. Now Talia finally understood why Duanmu Huai asked her whether to let the Archangel go before, which turned out that they were already enemies to the Inquisition. If Minerva had directly attacked the Archangel, perhaps there would not be so many troubles... Hey, now Talia has begun to consider how to write the report after returning to PLANT.

"I hope we won't be enemies next time we meet."

"As long as you are not the enemy of humanity, you are not the enemy of the Inquisition. Moreover, I hope you remember that seemingly correct goals do not necessarily bring correct results."

"I will keep this in mind."

Captain Talia nodded and then looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, if possible, can I ask... ...what is the next plan of the Inquisition?"

"We have basically understood the problems of the Earth Sphere. For now, it is just a struggle between the Earth Federation and PLANT, which is not worthy of the Inquisition's attention. But now the cosmic monsters outside the solar system are ready to move, so we will go to the edge of the solar system and fight against the cosmic monsters next."

Duanmu Huai was not talking nonsense. In fact, when they were running around on the Earth on the Minerva, Ecot had been leading the Inquisition fleet to fight a large number of cosmic monsters in the edge areas outside the solar system. It's strange to say, I don't know if it's a coincidence, every time Ecot encircled the space monster, eight out of ten times they would meet the battleship Exelion they had seen before, and the latter was chased by the space monster every time.

Later, Ecot was speechless, and simply sent a fleet to hang directly behind the Exelion, using them as bait to fish.

Although the Inquisition fleet repelled the space monsters again and again, Ecot had discovered that these were just the vanguard of the space monsters. And their main force is currently located in the Lyra Birdhead Galaxy, with a total of more than 100 million, and the distance between the two wings is about 80 astronomical units.

This number has exceeded the scope of Ecot's combat authority, so she hurriedly asked Duanmu Huai, and Duanmu Huai also made the decision to leave the Minerva after receiving this news. After all, the Archangel, the troublemaker, has been destroyed. What remains is the war between the Earth Federation and PLANT. He does not intend to intervene in this. In comparison, the cosmic monsters outside the solar system are more worthy of Duanmu Huai's attention.

Of course, for the sake of insurance, Duanmu Huai also explained the situation to Captain Talia and others, at least to let them be more cautious.

"A group of cosmic monsters with a total number of more than 100 million and a length of about 80 astronomical units..."

As expected, Captain Talia and others' faces suddenly changed when they heard this.

"You are not kidding."

"Of course not, if you are interested, you can go and see. The target is in Lyra. At present, only some small fish have come to the solar system. The real army has not yet been dispatched.

"The Inquisition..."

"For the Inquisition, this level of enemy is not worth mentioning. We naturally have ways to deal with it. The reason I tell you is that I hope you can be more careful. "

"Shouldn't it be better for us to unite and fight the enemy together at this time?"

"Can you convince PLANT or the Earth Federation? "

"Uh............"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's question, Captain Talia was speechless. She knew her own business. Although the threat of space monsters was indeed great, they were still far away in the Lyra constellation. It could be said that they could not threaten humans in the short term. Even if she reported this news, the parliament would probably think that the other party might not attack humans. If humans took the initiative to attack, it would anger the space monsters. Alas, Captain Talia could do nothing about political matters.

Of course, another reason is that although the humans in this galaxy are fighting fiercely in the universe, they don’t even have the ability and technology to cross galaxies. They can’t go there even if they want to, and can only stare blankly here.

So it can be seen that no matter how much the fish in the fish pond fight, there will be no improvement.

"Mr. Judge."

At this time, Setsuko suddenly looked at Duanmu Huai and said.

"Can I go with the Tribunal? In any case, I hope to repay you, and I also hope to do my part to fight against space monsters."

"Me too... To be honest, compared to the fight between humans, I think it is more suitable for me to fight against space monsters..."

Ann Marie also raised her hand, and Yaz next to her quietly looked at Captain Talia, and then silently raised her hand.

Of course, the reasons for the three people are different. Setsuko Ohara wanted to repay Duanmu Huai because she was saved by him. As for Anmari, she has no interest in the idea of ​​the Earth Federation and PLANT, and she hates the killing of humans. Rather than fighting humans, it is better for her to fight space monsters.

As for Yaz, her idea is a bit subtle. She was originally a civilian. Later, because she accidentally took a mecha that was regarded as a military secret, she was forced to become a member of Minerva. As for Yaz, if she can take this opportunity to transfer from Minerva to the Tribunal, she may be able to say goodbye to her forced military identity.

After all, she is not a PLANT person, so there is no need to work hard for PLANT!

The reason why they can make this choice is that they actually have no sense of belonging to both forces. Setsuko came from another world, Anmari is a warlock from another planet, and Yaz is a civilian. Unlike Captain Kuwatro or Amuro, their forces in this world are also standing with PLANT, so they can't leave this war.

"Are you sure? Let me make it clear in advance that the intensity of the battlefield in the Inquisition is not like the small fights you have experienced before. You can lose your life if you are not careful."

"………………I'm fine."

"Me too."

"Uh, I'll think about it..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's warning, Ohara Setsuko and Ann Marie both nodded, while Yaz was a little scared.

"I'm fine."

Duanmu Huai didn't care, but Captain Talia smiled bitterly.

"I know, Miss Setsuko, Miss Ann Marie, you are not ZAFT soldiers, so you can decide whether to stay or go. As for Miss Yaz..."

"Ah—————!"

Seeing Captain Talia looking at him, Yaz suddenly stiffened.

"I didn't expect you to have such sentiments. In that case, I will appoint you as the representative of our Minerva to go to the Inquisition to help fight against space monsters."

"Uh... I'm just talking now, is it too late?"

"This is an order."

"Yes..."

Yaz lowered her head dejectedly. There was nothing she could do. After all, she had signed an agreement with ZAFT and was nominally a soldier of ZAFT, not a free person like Setsuko and Ann Marie. Therefore, as a soldier, obeying orders was her duty.

In other words, Yaz's plan to escape from ZAFT and regain her freedom was a complete failure.

After that, the two sides separated. Captain Talia was worried about how to write a report while heading to PLANT. Duanmu Huai took everyone back to the flagship Three Little Pigs.

For Setsuko and others, it was not the first time they boarded this magnificent warship, but they were still amazed. Duanmu Huai signaled Odile to take them to her room, and then came to the combat command room.

"Ah, Uncle Judge!"

Seeing Duanmu Huai come in, Ecot hurriedly stood up, while Shizuka next to him sighed.

"You're finally back."

"It's okay... How's the current battle situation?"

"The offensive of the space monsters has weakened. I think maybe they noticed that the advance troops were destroyed, so their actions gradually became cautious. But I think their strength may continue to increase... And they are currently trying to break through the defense line of the solar system from all directions. Frankly speaking, I think one troop alone may not be enough to deal with it. At least two fleets are needed."

"I know, I will recruit two more fleets. Thank you for your hard work, Ecot."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai touched Ecot's head. Look, it's convenient to have a commander. He helps you do everything. You only need to be responsible for stamping. This is much better than before. You know, in the past, Duanmu Huai had to do this kind of thing himself. Although it is convenient, Duanmu Huai himself would be exhausted.

After all, he doesn't really like playing real-time strategy games.

If anything, Duanmu Huai would rather play civilized.

"No, nothing..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Ai Kote blushed and lowered her head, while Duanmu Huai patted her shoulder and looked at the others.

"Okay, you can go and rest, and we'll talk about the specific situation after we figure it out... Hmm? An, why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing An's restless look, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Gu Leiya is not here, what the hell are you jumping up and down like?

"Huh? It's nothing, that...yes, I'm going to pick flowers, pick flowers..."

"What the hell? Forget it, let's disband..."

"Click."

At this moment, the door opened, and Maria walked in. When she saw An, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss An, you are finally back. Just in time, I have already built what you want!"

“Shh——”

Seeing Maria, An also hurriedly ran to her side and covered her mouth. Then she turned her head and smiled at Duanmu Huai.

"Then, I'll leave first..."

"Just wait for me."

As soon as An took a step forward, Duanmu Huai grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

"What did you ask Mary to make for you?"

"this…………"

“Maria??”

Duanmuhuai saw that An was looking around and talking about him, and turned directly to Maria, who was stunned for a moment.

"Ah, Miss An asked me to build a mecha for her..."

"I knew you couldn't stay idle!"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai glared at An fiercely, who immediately shrank back in fear and stuck out his tongue.

"Because he's really handsome..."

"So you just want it? Huh? That's not right. You don't even have the blueprints. How did you build it? The other party can't be kind enough to tell you the data of their mecha."

"this……………"

An quietly glanced at Lumière next to Duanmu Huai. The latter's expression remained unchanged and he took a step back.

"Miss An, didn't you say this was the commander's order?"

"………………"

Good guy, everyone is a mole, right?

At this moment, Duanmu Huai was speechless.
