Chapter 206 Showdown? Test?

"What did you say? The Second Moon was invaded?"

VEGAN has received news that the Earth Federation Army is about to launch an operation to recapture the Luna Base. As the supreme commander of the Earth invasion operation, Gerhardt led the fleet to garrison the front-line base for attacking the Earth after capturing the Gundam AGE-3, but suddenly heard the bad news from the Second Moon.

"Yes, the [Three Archangels] personally led a very small number of people to sneak into the Second Moon to recapture the Gundam AGE-3 and the pilots. Although they were discovered in time before they escaped and surrounded and killed, the other party used a trick to deceive Lord Ilse with a fake asteroid, and finally let him escape." Fram Nora reported.

"Is Lord Izelkanda okay?" Gerhardt asked with concern. Although they have different ideas, Izelkanda is both an elder and a teacher to him.

"Lord Izelkanda personally piloted the Gundam Legirus and fought against the Angel of Judgment. Although he suppressed it for a while, he still lost due to physical reasons. If it weren't for the timely rescue by the seniors, I'm afraid..."

"Damn it!"

Gerhardt clenched his fist and hit the armrest of the seat, secretly cursing why he was not there. If he was there...

"Lord Gerhardt."

"I'm fine. By the way, what is the Gundam Legirus? Is it a new machine?" Gerhardt asked after calming down. He is the commander and cannot let his emotions affect his mentality.

"Yes." Fram Nora called up the data of the Legirus Gundam and explained to Gerhardt, "The Legirus Gundam is a brand-new machine made by analyzing the Gundam AGE-3 and combining it with the technology of EXA-DB. Its performance in all aspects far exceeds that of the current MS, and even exceeds that of the Dawn Gundam of [Judgment Angel]."

"Is it a Gundam belonging to VEGAN?" Gerhardt carefully browsed the data of the Legirus Gundam and its battle record with the Dawn Gundam, "...it is indeed a powerful machine."

Gerhardt saw that the reason why the Dawn Gundam was suppressed in the record was because it consumed too much in the early stage and did not go all out, but this did not deny the excellence of the Legirus Gundam. After all, Izelkanda's driving skills were not very outstanding.

"If you can configure such a machine for Master Gerhardt, then defeating the Gundam is just around the corner." Fram Nora said happily.

"No, you are wrong. You can't defeat the Gundam with an excellent machine alone." Gerhardt shook his head and said.

"How could it be?"

"VEGAN's death god has never been a Gundam, but Mr. Yang Hui and his three companions. They not only have excellent machines, but also unparalleled driving skills. This is why Gundam is really difficult to deal with. Both the machine and the pilot are indispensable." Gerhart said.

"But Gerhardt's technology is not weak, it's just the machine..."

"You still underestimate Mr. Yang Hui, Fram." Gerhardt interrupted Fram Nora's defense and continued to explain to her the terrifying aspects of Yang Hui, "The terrifying thing about Gundam is that it can evolve infinitely. Although other Gundams, except for the latest Gundam AGE-3, are not connected to the core of infinite evolution - the AGE system, Mr. Yang Hui himself is another AGE system."

"Another... AGE system?"

"That's right, look at the speed of development of the Federation's military power. After Mr. Yang Hui joined the Federation Army, it began to rise rapidly, especially the universal models of mass-produced machines and the enhanced backpacks that can cope with various combat situations. This has achieved the role of the AGE system, and even calculated various situations in advance, and..."

As he said, Gerhardt played the battle records of the Legirus Gundam and the Dawn Gundam again, and slowed down the speed so that Fram Nora could see it carefully.

"Mr. Yang Hui didn't use his full strength. You can tell from the actions of the Dawn Gundam that he was testing or probing."

"Test? Testing the performance of the Legirus Gundam? In such a dangerous battle!?" Fram Nara was horrified. She felt that this was simply a fantasy. He went deep into the enemy's rear, was surrounded by many enemies, and was outnumbered. At the same time, he was caught off guard by the new machine. He actually had the leisure to test the data of the enemy's new machine instead of retreating as soon as possible?

But after carefully looking at the battle data, many clues can be found. There are many opportunities to escape from the battle with the Legirus Gundam in the records, but the Dawn Gundam turned a blind eye to them all and kept fighting with the Legirus Gundam. Moreover, some actions... seemed to deliberately give the Legirus Gundam room to play.

"This... is this something a human can do?"

Fram Nara's voice was trembling. She put Yang Hui to an unreachable height. She didn't even know if this was Yang Hui's limit. She was afraid that she would think that this was Yang Hui's limit and then be broken again.

"So he is Mr. Yang Hui, the man who makes the impossible possible."

Jerhart deeply agrees with Fram Nara's evaluation of Yang Hui. That man has been creating miracles since he appeared.

Jerhart has been working hard to improve himself in order to catch up with Yang Hui and surpass Yang Hui. If he wants to realize his ideal future, he must climb over the mountain of Yang Hui.

But... every time he climbs up a distance, he thinks he is closer to the top of the mountain, but finds that the top of the mountain is still out of reach, or even farther away from him.

Yang Hui is like a black hole. No one can see what exists in the center of the black hole, and what kind of world is inside the black hole.

"Lord Gerhart, then your goal...our common wish...is there still a chance to be realized?" Flam Nora asked tremblingly. When she thought of Yang Hui's horror, she couldn't see hope. .

Gerhat stood up and came to Flam Nala, patted her shoulder and comforted her: "There is hope, it is difficult, but precisely because it is difficult, it is worth our efforts and efforts, isn't it? "

"……yes!"

Gerhart is right. It is precisely because the road ahead is difficult that they will move forward bravely. If the goal is easily achieved, will they still move forward with a heavy burden?

Won't!

And...the more difficult the goal, the more fulfilling it will be when it is achieved.

"Speaking of which, Flam, does Lord Izelkandar have any new orders?" Gerhart asked.

"Lord Izelkandar already knows the movements of the federal army and ordered us to prevent the federation from retaking the Luna Base..."

"Are you going to stick to it?"

"No, Izelkandar has another order. If nothing can be done, you can retreat when the opportunity arises and restart the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation."

"What? Restart the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation?"

Gerhart was shocked. The [Mouth of the Abyss] operation was a combat plan used against the Lost Loulan Base. Plasma bombs were detonated from inside the base, destroying the base and the enemy forces together.

"Yes, Lord Gerhart...should we...perform it?"

"...I'll think about it and I'll go down first."

"yes."

Gerhart did not deny that Izelkandar's order was correct. The Luna Base is not only a large base for the Federation Army, but also a very important production base in the universe. The Luna Base has a complete production line for battleships and MSs. Once recaptured, the federal army can quickly replenish its forces, which is a serious threat to VEGAN, which is short of resources and has low productivity.

but……

Once the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation is successful, although it can destroy this base integrating strategy and production, and also inflict heavy damage on the federal army, it will also push the hatred between Earth and VEGAN to an irreversible point.

As a result, there is no room for peace talks between the Earth Federation and VEGAN, which refutes Gerhart's purpose.

But if it is not carried out, it will be a blatant disobedience to Izelkandar's order. If it is not handled well, it will become a traitor of VEGAN, and the hard work over the years will be ruined.

"Is it...is it time for a showdown with Lord Izelkanda? Or...is this a test you gave me? Lord Izelkanda..."

…

Turning his attention to the other side, Yang Hui and his party finally returned to the federal territory after a long submersible voyage and arrived at the colonial satellite Tordia.

"Qio! I'm so glad you're safe." Romary hugged Qiao tightly, fearing that he would disappear again in the next second.

Since receiving the news that Qiao was captured by VEGAN, she has missed him day and night, not thinking about food or tea. Although she believed that Yang Hui and the others would be able to rescue Qiao, as long as she did not see Qiao come back, she would not be at ease.

Now...the big stone in her heart finally fell.

"I'm sorry, Mom, for making you worry." Qiao comforted Romari by patting her on the back.

"As long as you're okay, it'll be okay..." Romary let go of Qiao and wiped her tears.

"I'm sorry, Romary, I didn't protect Chiao." Yasem also apologized to Romary. He clearly promised to protect his son, but he broke the promise because he went to perform other tasks.

"Asem, I don't blame you. Yunoa told me that you and Uncle Yang Hui went on a more dangerous mission. I hope you are safe."

"Romary..."

The couple hugged each other, releasing their worries and venting their thoughts.

The warmth only lasted for a few minutes. Asem let go of Romary and said apologetically: "Sorry, Romary, I have to go to a military meeting. There will be a large-scale battle soon..."

"Well, go ahead and remember to come back safely."

"Yes, I promise you."

After saying that, Asem looked at Qiao again with a very serious expression: "Qiao, we will fight again soon. You... take this time to think carefully about whether you want to continue to fight in the Gundam."

Yasem knew everything Qiao saw and heard in VEGAN. To be honest... he was also a little shocked, but the shock was not enough to shake his belief. This is war, not a child's game. Only by ending the war as soon as possible can more people be saved.

"I...I know...I will think about it carefully." Qiao replied with his head lowered.

"Well, Romari, Yunoa, and Chio, I'll leave it to you."

After saying that, Asem left. The battle to retake the Luna Base was about to begin. As the captain of the [Celestial Being] Brigade, he had to attend.

After Asame left, Romary noticed that Qiao was in a bad state, pulled him to sit down and asked: "Qiao, did something happen?"

"Mom...I..."

"It's okay, Qiao. If you have any doubts, you can tell mom."

"Mom...I...am I a traitor?"
