Chapter 339 Free Kira

Above the earth, the ZAFT fleet was deployed densely, and the MSs as dense as locusts set off from the catapult deck, and then the landing capsules in the belly of the battleship were in place.

"The action will start at the scheduled time, all personnel please complete the preparations quickly."

"The deployment of the landing troops has been completed, and everything is normal in the combat area."

"Laser communication line, final inspection... no abnormalities."

Not only in the universe, but also on the ground, the ZAFT army moved, and a large number of troops attacked from the Carpentaria base and headed towards Alaska.

After receiving the report that everything was ready, Patrick Sala stood up from his seat and announced the start of the operation.

"May this operation end the war soon and show the world true freedom and justice. [Breakthrough Operation], start!"

"[Breakthrough Operation] starts..."

"Target Alaska, Joshua..."

"Action Plan No. 6 of the Bureau of Affairs, approved to be unsealed..."

"Operation code, [Breakthrough], target Alaska, Joshua..."

"Joshua!?"

"How could it be..."

"What?"

"Earth Army Headquarters?"

"Isn't it Panama?"

Except for the Space Command Headquarters, the ZAFT Fleet, Carpentaria Base, and the ZAFT troops that had already attacked were all very shocked, because the orders they had received before this moment had always been to attack Panama.

In order to directly destroy the Atlantic Federation's Earth Army Headquarters in this battle, Patrick Sala deliberately released false news and made many false moves to successfully deceive everyone, and sealed the real target of this [Breakthrough Operation] as the highest level of confidential information, and did not unseal this secret until the start of the operation, just to keep it secret.

Compared with the Panama Spaceport, the Earth Army Headquarters is more important. As long as the operation is successful, the Earth Army's senior officers will be caught in one fell swoop, and the Earth Army's command system will be paralyzed instantly.

At this time, the troops that had been prepared at the Gibraltar base launched a lightning attack on Panama before the other side came to their senses, and would capture it in one fell swoop.

In this way, the Earth Army can already declare defeat.

But what he didn't expect was that the intelligence had been leaked long ago, and the Earth Army had also prepared traps for them to step on, and Patrick Sala's wishful thinking would eventually fail.

...

The rain stopped, and the sky returned to bright and clear, but people's mood did not change because of the warm light.

After learning about Patrick Sala's crazy behavior, Siegel Klein immediately returned to the Supreme Council to question what was going on. He was accompanied by Mentor Malchio. Although he was not a member of PLANT, his prestige could still play a certain role.

Lacus found Kira in the glass house, but found that he was crying.

"I... want to go."

"Where to go?"

"To Earth, I have to go back."

"Why? Even if you are one more person, the war will not end."

Kira nodded to Lacus's advice, but still did not change his determination: "But... I can't continue to stand by and watch here. If I believe that I am powerless and do nothing, I will be even more powerless. Then nothing can be changed and nothing will end."

"Are you going to fight ZAFT again?"

"No."

"Then is it the Earth Army?"

"No, what should we... fight? I seem to understand... a little."

"Huh?"

"Yang Hui once told me that his fight... is to protect, to protect everything he said he cherished, and to control his own destiny, so that he would not be able to hide under the table and shiver when danger came, praying for others to save him. I didn't understand it before, but now... I think I understand this feeling."

After experiencing life and death and coming to PLANT, he always felt that he could let it go and his duties were over, but he was confused and found that he could do nothing and didn't want to do anything except fighting.

After hearing about the attack on the Alaska base, Kira thought of his companions who went to Alaska, and the two warring parties. He accidentally killed Aslan's companions, and Aslan killed his companions in anger. He and Aslan were fighting to the death. Why did all this happen?

He now... figured out a lot of things. All these tragedies were caused by the war. Without the war, he would still be happily studying and living with his companions in school; without the war, his reunion with Aslan should be a beautiful reunion; without the war, there would not be so many tragedies.

"... I understand." Lacus could feel that Kira had really grown up, and a big stone in his heart was put down. "Although I have always disagreed, it's time to give you what Yang Hui asked me to prepare for you."

"Eh? Yang Hui? Things prepared for me?"

"Yes, on the first day you arrived in PLANT, I told Yang Hui about you. He also asked me to prepare some gifts for you and asked me to pass them on to you when you need them. To be honest, I refused at first."

"Lacus..."

"Because you are kind, Kira, and too simple, you are not a qualified warrior. You finally escaped from that vortex by chance, and you should not return to the place that you hate so much, so I have never mentioned anything about the earth and the war to you, just hoping that you can continue to live in peace, but now... I feel your awakening, so I will also give you that thing as agreed." Lacus said seriously.

"Lacus... you and Yang Hui..."

"We are like-minded comrades, working together for a peaceful world and a better future." Lacus said, but added in his heart: "Just now."

"I see." Kira knew a little about the relationship between Yang Hui and Lacus. Anyway, the intimacy is definitely not as simple as comrades. Besides, Lacus is also Aslan's fiancée, which is a bit confusing, so don't ask.

"Thank you, Lacus, thank you for saving me, thank you for everything you have done." Kira bowed to Lacus to express his gratitude.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do. We are friends, aren't we?"

"Friends... yes, we are friends, and Yang Hui..."

"As for Yang Hui, you need to return to Earth to thank him in person."

"Uh... I'm afraid he will laugh at me."

"It seems that you really know him well. Hehe, come with me. There is no time to waste."

"Okay."

When they came to the house, Lacus handed him a set of red ZAFT uniforms.

"Kira, put on this." Lacus said to Kira, and then told the butler: "Please contact there, Lacus Klein will sing the song of peace."

"Yes, Miss."

The butler left, Kira took the military uniform without asking any more questions, put it on obediently, and followed Lacus to a military base with a high level of confidentiality.

As he stopped, the darkness in the room was dispelled by the light. Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Kira exclaimed: "Eh? Gundam!"

"Not quite the same." Lacus knew the origin of the name Gundam. It was Kira's abbreviation of the first letters of the full name of G. It was not G, but it was almost the same. "This is the ZGMF-X10A Freedom. It incorporates the performance of the Earth Army MS. It is the latest ZAFT machine developed by the new Speaker Sara."

"This is..."

"Yes, this is the gift Yang Hui prepared for you. He told me that you will definitely be able to use it and use it to do the right thing."

"...It's not enough to have faith alone, and it's not enough to have power alone. It's the unity of knowledge and action."

"Ah? Do you know this sentence too?" Lacus said with a little surprise.

"Well, when I was in elementary school, Yang Hui said to me..."

"So go, go where you want to go, do what you want to do, and use this Freedom."

"Thank you, and you should be safe too."

"Well, I look forward to seeing you next time, Kira."

"You too, Lacus."

Kira sat on the Freedom Gundam and started the system.

"Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assault Module, isn't it also Gundam?" Kira laughed at himself. He didn't expect that he would get the power he hated the most, and he had to use this power to do what he wanted.

"Anti-neutron jammer! So powerful, the power is more than 4 times that of the assault!"

After checking all the systems of the Freedom, Kira activated the PS armor.

When the Freedom Gundam was activated, the base had already noticed the situation of the Freedom Gundam, and it was immediately in chaos, and called the nearby patrol troops to intercept.

The air gate opened, and the Freedom Gundam soared into the sky. When it rushed out of the base, it was intercepted by four [Zeen].

"Don't stop me! I have to go!"

In the eyes of the [Zeen] pilots, the Freedom Gundam was like a meteor flying back and forth, with a firepower network woven by heavy machine guns.

Kira pushed the joystick and stepped on the pedal to the bottom. The fire behind the Freedom was blazing. In the blink of an eye, it came to the front of the two [Zeen] in front. The sharp blade at the waist was unsheathed, and the light flashed. The heads of the two [Zeen] were cut off along with their right hands and weapons. The pilots sat in the cockpit, dumbfounded and didn't know what happened.

At this moment, a shuttle passed by the Freedom Gundam. Aslan, who was sitting by the window, only saw a blue phantom flashing by. He thought he was dazzled and was about to take a closer look at what it was.

"How long will it take to return to my country? I can't wait." Diego held his head with both hands, and his lazy and expectant voice interrupted Aslan's thoughts.

"Don't worry, Diego, we will be back to our country soon." Nicol comforted.

"That's right, but I don't know what task Speaker Sara will assign us." Diego looked at Aslan while speaking.

"Eh? I don't know."

"Really? That's a pity."

On the other side, after the Freedom Gundam was activated, Lacus left the military base under the escort of the soldiers.

"Miss Lacus, we have to evacuate."

"What about father?"

"Someone has been sent to pick him up."

"Okay, let's go too and hide in Junius."

"But Miss Wang's order..."

"When a general is away from home, he is not subject to military orders." Lacus stuck out her tongue playfully.
