Chapter 306 Arrival at the Land of Peace

After receiving the reply from Orb, the four of them were completely upset.

"What happened? Why didn't ZAFT see the official diplomatic statement?" Aslan continued to ask.

"This is a separate diplomatic act between Orb and the Atlantic Federation. There is no need to issue a statement to ZAFT, let alone make a formal statement to the outside world. Please ask the ZAFT army to stay away from the Orb border immediately. Because you attacked the escort ship of Orb's dignitaries, we will strongly protest to your Carpentaria base. At the same time, if you do not leave our border, our fleet will regard you as a hostile force and launch an attack."

"... We have reason to suspect that Orb has joined the Earth Union. If you do not make a reasonable explanation, we will judge Orb as a hostile country and launch an attack immediately!" Aslan did not give in, and also threatened Orb with an attack. Although the four Gundams could not wipe out all of them, there was no problem in destroying more than half of them and retreating safely. After all, Orb's army has been restricted by the Earth Union and PLANT. The total number is not large, and the destruction of half of the fleet is enough for Orb to feel painful.

"This is just a normal diplomatic behavior between Orb and the Atlantic Federation. Orb has not changed its position as a neutral country. If ZAFT or PLANT has any questions about this, please ask through formal diplomatic channels. Now, please ask all ZAFT troops to stay away from the Orb border. This is the last warning!"

The tone became stern. Aslan knew that this was an ultimatum. If it was really as the other party said, then they would have no reason to launch an attack, otherwise they would be the ones to be accused.

The Aegis Gundam retreated silently and returned to his companions to issue a retreat order.

"Why? Can't we just fight directly?"

"Coward!"

Izak and Diego expressed dissatisfaction, but they were not idiots. They knew that they could only retreat obediently under the current situation. After all, their elders were members of the Supreme Council. They were influenced by them since childhood and knew something without participating in political work.

Nigel and Aslan were silent. Nigel didn't have such a strong obsession with the Archangel, so it didn't matter. He didn't want to conflict with Orb at this time, and Aslan thought more.

"They actually prepared a reasonable reason for entry a month ago, escorting Orb's important personnel... important personnel... important personnel who are connected to the Archangel... Yang Hui? Yes, it must be him!"

After fighting with the Archangel, it turned out that Aslan was not completely without growth, at least he would not obey other people's orders in everything, especially after becoming the captain, he tried to change himself and tried to think independently. This time, he had almost no entanglement and was sure that the person who caused all this was Yang Hui.

"Aslan...Aslan!" Nicol kept calling Aslan. Seeing that Aslan did not respond, he increased the volume, and there was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

"I'm fine..."

"What's wrong with you? Did you think of something?"

"Well, go back first, I'll explain it to you when I get back."

"Okay..."

...

On the other hand, the news of the Archangel's entry has spread throughout Orb. Orb's territory is very small, and the battles that took place near the sea can be seen on some coasts. Instead of hiding it and being discovered by the people, it is better to announce it directly and explain it to calm the people.

At the same time, the top leaders of Orb also gathered together for a tense meeting and discussion.

"Lord Uzummi, is it really okay to let the kid from the Yang family mess around?" Someone questioned Uzummi.

"Well, this time it was indeed a bit messy." Uzummi frowned deeply. After all, Yang Hui has always been steady in doing things. He usually arranges everything so that people can't find an excuse to target Orb, but this time... it's completely out in the open.

Although entrusting the Archangel to escort him and Cagalli back to Orb is also a formal diplomatic activity, and all legal documents have been prepared in advance to deal with ZAFT's difficulties, who among the senior people can't see that Yang Hui is helping the Archangel?

Uzummi knows Yang Hui and knows how much Yang Hui hates the Atlantic Federation, so it is impossible for him to get close to the Atlantic Federation. Yang Hui is a person who values ​​his companions. He traveled with the Archangel for a period of time before. It should be during that time that Yang Hui regarded the people on the Archangel as companions. His behavior is just to help the Archangel, not the Atlantic Federation.

But it's different in the eyes of outsiders, because the Archangel belongs to the Atlantic Federation.

"Xiaohui should have prepared a backup plan, right?" Yang Hongyu also knew his son, so he explained.

"..." Everyone was silent. Who had not been scared by Yang Hui? Who didn't know that Yang Hongyu seemed to be the second in command of Orb, all thanks to his son? It's just that no one exposed it.

"But what should we do now?" asked a patriarch of the five major families.

"Let's wait until he comes back and see what he thinks first." Uzumi decided.

"Then what should we say to the outside world..."

"Just tell the truth. I have a feeling that this world is going to be in chaos, and Orb may not be able to stay out of it."

"..."

...

Under the escort of the second fleet, the Archangel came directly to the first island of Orb, which is also the island where the army and the [Dawn Society] are located. Even satellites cannot observe the dock here.

"Huh~ Finally arrived safely." Yang Hui stood up and stretched to relax.

"Thank you so much, Yang Hui." Malu thanked. Not to mention that the Archangel could enter Orb for supplies and repairs, starting from North Africa, no, from [Heliopolis], the Archangel could sail for so long, Yang Hui really helped a lot.

"We are all companions, why are you so polite?" Yang Hui waved his hand, asking everyone not to care.

"Companions..." The others smiled at each other, but Malu and Bakilu had complicated expressions. It was naturally worthy of joy and even excitement that Yang Hui could regard them as companions, but... the difference in their identities destined that this "companion" would not last long, and in the future... they might even become enemies.

Malu and Bakilu could not imagine what it would be like if they became enemies with Yang Hui, and how they should face it.

"Okay, everyone, take this opportunity to have a good rest. There will be no more enemies during this period."

"Yahoo!"

"Finally, I can have a good rest!"

"Yahoo, yahhoo, I've been exhausted during this period. I can't sleep well."

...

Compared to the cheers of Arnold and others who originally belonged to the Earth Army, Thor, Mirialia, Saiyi and Kaz looked at Yang Hui with expectation. They were originally citizens of Orb, but they joined the Earth Army halfway. They could not leave the Archangel before getting permission, but they also wanted to see their parents.

Of course, it would be best to get approval to enter the city of Orb.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to help you fight for it. At worst, I will let you meet your parents." Yang Hui promised.

"Great!"

"Please, Yang Hui."

"Just waiting for your good news!"

...

After making the promise, Yang Hui looked at Malu and Bakilu and said, "You and Major Flaka should get ready. Lord Uzmi wants to see you."

"Huh?" Hearing this, the two girls were stunned.

"Please, although we have conducted diplomatic negotiations in advance, everyone can see that I am helping you, which also makes Orb's position delicate, so..." Yang Hui spread his hands and told them "You know".

"Sorry, I have troubled you."

"I told you not to mind it. It is very unfamiliar to thank you all the time." As he said, Yang Hui reached out and patted the shoulders of the two women, "This is just comfort between companions, not sexual harassment!"

"Puff~ Hahahaha..."

Hearing this, the two women were stunned for a moment, blushed and lowered their heads, covered their mouths and chuckled, and the others laughed without caring about their image. It was not really that funny, but the long-term frustration and hardship made them need to vent more, and they needed more joy to dilute the previous suffering.

Malu and Bakilu took care of themselves a little. Mu also received the notice and took a shower and changed into clean clothes. He went with Yang Hui to meet Uzumi. As early as when the Archangel entered Orb for transit, Uzumi had already come to the [Dawn Society]. Uzumi was also very interested in the people on the Archangel and wanted to see what they had that was worth Yang Hui's help.

Uzumi was accompanied by Huang and Wang Liumei, as well as Setsuna and Tieria.

All the way to the reception room of the Orb National Defense Headquarters, Yang Hui saw Huang, Wang Liumei and others sitting next to Uzumi. There were four empty seats on the long square table, one next to Uzumi, which was prepared for Yang Hui, and three empty seats opposite Uzumi, while Setsuna and Tieria stood behind the three as guards. Lyle joined them after entering the reception room.

It had been a long time since we last met, and there was excitement and joy, but it was not the time to talk to each other. Yang Hui nodded to everyone with a gentle smile, and then sat down next to Uzumi.

After entering the room, Malu, Bakilulu and Mu also sat down in the empty seat opposite. However, after sitting down, the three of them took a brief look at [The Lion of Orb], but more attention was paid to Huang, Wang Liumei, Setsuna and Tieria.

Especially Huang and Wang Liumei, their age is the same as Yang Hui, but they are just girls. They have already experienced why Yang Hui is qualified to sit with Uzumi, but these two girls... are they the same as Yang Hui?

And Setsuna and Tieria, although they are also teenagers, but Mu can feel most clearly that the temperament they show is the same as Lyle, they are all experienced warriors, and they are all very strong.

The three people's sight was naturally noticed by Uzumi and others, but they just smiled and did not delve into it, but they would not tell them the truth, after all, they are soldiers belonging to the Atlantic Federation.

"Then let's officially begin, Major Lamias, Major Flaka, Lieutenant Bakilulu."

"Thank you very much for Orb's help, Mr. Uzumi, and thank you for your reception. I just don't know if you are here... for matters related to my ship's stay in Orb?" Malu asked after thanking him.

"Yes, but it's not just that. There are also matters related to the transaction between Orb and the Atlantic Federation."

"Transaction?"

"Yes, your ship escorted Orb's dignitaries back to Orb, and Orb provided your ship with material supplies and repair assistance. This... is just a superficial transaction, and the real transaction... is that Orb provides the Archangel with as much assistance and convenience as possible, but your ship must report all the combat data of the assault from [Heliopolis] to the present, and ask its pilot, the adjuster Kira Yamato, to provide technical support to [Aurora Society]."
