Chapter 136 End of the First Stage

The follow-up results of [Operation Bat Driving] came out within a week. Guludik was sentenced to fifteen years in prison, and he retained his honors. He could still return to the army after serving his sentence. This also allowed Guludik to continue fighting as a member of the Federation Army after his release, instead of ending up with nothing and having to secretly collect intelligence for Fleet, and eventually being killed because he knew too much.

All the members of the Songstress were rewarded, a medal of the highest honor, and all the members were promoted by one level.

Although all the people on the Songstress were dispersed, they were still in the Federation. As a member of the Federation, they would naturally continue to fight side by side one day, so they were not too sad.

If we say who benefited the most from this battle, it must be Yang's Enterprise.

Originally, Yang's Enterprise was just a leading military enterprise, and it has never had a good reputation among the people. After all, military enterprises are mostly death merchants in the eyes of ordinary people. Without them, there would be no war.

But this time, the news spread that the two most important young masters of Yang's Enterprise actually disregarded their own safety and personally participated in the [Bat Driving Operation], and contributed a lot to it, which could even be said to be an important factor in determining the outcome of the war. They were directly labeled as heroes, and the reputation of Yang's Enterprise rose like a rocket.

With reputation, there will naturally be customers. Yang's Enterprise's civilian machinery, which had always been mediocre, was suddenly raised to a level similar to the military industry, which can be said to be a double gain of fame and fortune.

Of course, this is just on the surface. The biggest gain is naturally the captured Jedus and the technical data brought back from the Anbat Fortress. After selectively handing it over to the Federation, what remains is the most valuable wealth of Yang's Enterprise.

Let's not talk about anything else, at least the two's bodies can reach the perfect B-level, and they don't have to drive the body to fight as carefully as before.

None of these are what Yang Hui cares about. What he cares most about is the prompt of the mission ending. The timeline of the Gundam AGE world is quite long, running through three generations of the Asuno family, which is several times longer than the Gundam OO world. Since the Gundam OO world is carried out in stages, the Gundam AGE world should naturally be the same, so now they just need to wait to return to Promise Fortress.

But it must be said... sometimes surprises, no, shocks come so suddenly.

[The first stage of the mission in the Gundam AGE world is completed, [Bat Driving Operation] is a complete success, all important people survive, reward 1 construction opportunity, 1 building reinforcement opportunity, 1 skill extraction opportunity, 1 skill reinforcement opportunity, and the material gift package (micro) world deviation will be uniformly calculated after the end of the Gundam AGE world...

PS: Skill extraction opportunities, skill reinforcement opportunities, and material gift packages must be returned to Promise Fortress before they can be used]

"..."

Yang Hui and Graham were stunned, and then the next prompt sound made Yang Hui crazy.

[The second stage mission is released. Join the Federation Army, participate in the war with VEGAN, ensure the success of the Nordram Defense War, and assist Flit Asuno in launching a coup, seize the power of the Federation high-level officials, and expose the secret relationship between the Federation high-level officials and VEGAN.

PS: Before the success of the Nordram Defense War, ensure that all members of the Diva survive. The reward will be increased for each additional person who survives. ]

"Fuck you! Mephis! Can you explain it?"

[What does the Commander need to explain? ]

"Mission! What does this second stage mission mean? Why is there such a big difference between the first and second stages? Shouldn't you return directly after giving a small mission?"

[Commander, I never said that the mission world is divided into several parts. ]

"What about the Gundam OO world?"

[Because the Gundam OO world is the Commander's novice world, the difficulty is reduced, and it is normal to complete each world; at the same time, according to my calculations, the Commander is likely to die in the final battle of the Gundam OO world, which is also a protection for the Commander. 】

"..." Yang Hui had a thousand MMPs in his mind but didn't know whether to say them or not. Are you looking down on me?

"Yang Hui, is there a big problem with this mission?" Graham asked. There was no problem with postponing the return to Promise Fortress. Wouldn't the more missions, the more rewards? Why was Yang Hui unhappy and looked like he was about to get angry?

"Problem? Haha, there's nothing wrong with the problem itself..." Yang Hui glared with dead fish eyes and sneered.

"Then why..."

"...It's just that the Battle of Nordram took place 25 years later."

Graham: (⊙ω⊙`)

"That means we have to stay in this world for at least another 25 years to complete the second stage of the mission, and..."

"And!?"

"...The Gundam AGE world does not have one protagonist, but three. This is a heroic chronicle that runs through three generations of the Asuno family. Now that the second stage of the mission is out, there is naturally a third stage, which means..."

"..." Graham turned gray and white, which means that he and Yang Hui have to stay in the world for decades until the war ends after Flit's grandson is born before they can return to Promise Fortress!

This is outrageous! After a few decades, he will be an old man, right?

Although he likes to travel between different worlds and enjoy different battles, but... staying in one world for decades is also deadly!

"Yang Hui..."

"Don't look at me with that expression, I am also in pain."

Yang Hui was really annoyed. The world of Gundam AGE was one of the most special of all the mecha wars he knew. Although other works were long-standing, they were also divided into many different works for publication. Only Gundam AGE briefly described the story of three generations in just 49 episodes.

"Wait! Mephis, let me ask first, if I enter the world of Gundam UC, I won't stay there from the One Year War to UC0225, right?" Yang Hui asked hurriedly. If we were to say which series of works had the longest time span, it would naturally be the origin of all Gundams - the UC era. Not counting various black histories and subsequent RC, the story of the UC era lasted for more than a hundred years. I couldn't really experience the entire UC era directly, right? Wouldn't that be an old monster?

[No. ]

"Huh~ That's good."

The UC era was a world that Yang Hui had to go to no matter what. The long time and many works had an advantage that could not be ignored, that is, there were many talents! Look at how many talents you can name in Gundam AGE? Are there as many as the fractions of the UC era?

Not to mention that Yang Hui has been thinking about saving so many tragedies that should not have happened in the UC era, such as the love and hatred between the mule and the duck, Camus and his women, the death of General Rebir, etc.

"Yang Hui, Graham, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Yulin suddenly came. Seeing Yang Hui and Graham's lost soul, Yulin couldn't help but ask worriedly (mainly worried about Yang Hui).

Yang Hui was a little helpless. He didn't know whether he should tell Yulin the truth now. If he returned to Promise Fortress, Yulin must be taken back, so she had the right to know, but the first stage of the mission had just ended. He didn't want Yulin to be affected by the huge truth from now on.

Faced with a complex psychology, Yang Hui could only look at Graham for help, but... it was useless.

"I'm optimistic about you!"

Although he didn't say so, Graham's expression and thumbs up conveyed this meaning to Yang Hui.

"I knew you were unreliable!" Yang Hui naturally responded with the "same" look, and then looked at Yulin.

"Yang Hui, it's okay."

Yulin pretended to understand, but Yang Hui still caught the sadness in her eyes. Yang Hui was the first and only person Yulin trusted wholeheartedly after her family died. Maybe it was because of the attraction between the same kind, or maybe it was the feelings hidden in her heart that affected Yulin, but she was still very sad to find that Yang Hui had a secret to hide from her.

"Yulin, this is related to our biggest secret. This is an endless vortex, and it will also be full of various battles and dangers. Are you... sure you want to know?" Yang Hui told Yulin directly without any mercy, because Yulin was a very kind girl. If she didn't want to get involved, Yang Hui would choose to give up.

"I... I..."

Faced with Yang Hui's serious tone and Graham's equally serious expression, Yulin was entangled for a while.

"It's okay, Yulin, think about it carefully first."

Yang Hui turned around and prepared to leave, leaving the space for Yulin to think alone, but the moment he turned around, Yulin grabbed Yang Hui's clothes from behind.

"Will you...will you leave me?" Yulin asked timidly.

"...If you don't want to know...Yes." Yang Hui nodded with determination. His thoughts were changed by Yulin. At first, he thought that he would definitely take Yulin away, even if he kept her as a mascot in Promise Fortress.

But in front of the hesitant Yulin, Yang Hui realized that he should not force others to make choices because of personal feelings. He and Yulin just had a good impression and ambiguity, and he couldn't tell what kind of feelings they were, and nothing had happened yet. In this case, he shouldn't force a kind girl to be involved in his vortex and force her to share his responsibilities.

"Then I want to know!"

Yulin suddenly became determined, which made Yang Hui and Graham stunned.

"You...you promised me that you would never leave me alone again..." Yulin blushed and lowered her head and sobbed. She was afraid of fighting, but she was more afraid that Yang Hui would leave her, and then she would become alone again.

She didn't blame Yang Hui for being cruel. After all, he had made it clear that the consequence of knowing would be endless fighting and danger. If she didn't want to know, Yang Hui's cruel departure from her was to protect her.

"...Okay." Yang Hui nodded and gave Graham a look, signaling him to leave first so that he could be alone with Yu Lin.

Graham smiled and turned away. His indifference to love between men and women did not mean that he liked to eat dog food. Since both parties had made a decision, he only needed to wait, waiting for another comrade to join them.

"Haha, Yang Hui, I hope you know how to explain to Miss Huang and the others."
