Chapter 343 Welcome Back

Under the hard ice, several submarines were sailing closely. In the most gorgeous conference room of one of the submarines, two senior officials of the Atlantic Federation sat side by side, each of them had a box full of machinery in front of them.

"Is it almost done? Can we start?"

"Yes."

The two took the same small key from their necks and inserted it into the keyhole in front of them.

"May this sacrifice end the war soon."

"For the pure blue world, 3, 2, 1."

The keys turned at the same time, and nothing happened on the scene, but in Alaska thousands of miles away...

...

The Archangel led the surviving friendly fleet to break out of the gap torn for them by the Angel of De without stopping. The Angel of Exia, the Angel of Wisdom, and the Angel of De guarded around the fleet. The Dawn Gundam and the Freedom Gundam fell behind, alert to possible pursuers.

But after Yang Hui confirmed the news announced by Kira, although the battle did not stop directly, it was no longer so fierce. The offensive momentum of the ZAFT army slowed down, and even enemy planes continued to return from the breached [Gate].

The Earth Army ignored all this and tried every means to follow the breakout fleet and leave this troubled place.

"It's almost done, we'll be safe soon..."

"Beep beep beep..."

Before Malu finished speaking, he received a report.

"Strong energy radiation has been observed in the Alaska base, and the [Cyclops System] has been activated!"

"Full power! Evacuate immediately!"

The powerful storm composed of microwaves swept everything, and the machinery, human body, and buildings were all destroyed in an instant, turning into dust in the extremely high temperature. The dust was fused together and turned into charcoal, and violent flames soared into the sky, and a gorgeous mushroom cloud bloomed in the sky.

"Ah! How could it be..." The ZAFT commander who was still hesitating was dumbfounded. He was still hesitating whether to order all the troops to withdraw, but it was his hesitation that missed the best opportunity to retreat.

If it weren't for Yang Hui's influence, the ZAFT army would lose more than 70% of its troops here, but now it has only lost 50%. If he could be more decisive, he would only lose 20% of his troops at most.

"We were tricked by a natural person." Cruze said sadly. On the surface, he was sad about the heavy losses of his friendly forces, but in fact, he was also very unhappy because Yang Hui's sudden appearance caused his plan to fail to achieve the expected results.

"Carpentaria base called!"

"What happened again?"

"Ob...Ob launched an attack on the occupied area of ​​Oceania Federation! Torres Strait was occupied, Port Moresby and Papua Bay fell, and Ob is marching into Papua New Guinea!"

"What!?"

"What happened?"

Now even Cruze couldn't keep calm. He never thought that Ob would take the initiative to join the game and seize Port Moresby, Papua Bay and Torres Strait. This is the only way for their army to return!

If it was really taken away by Ob, then they would have only two ways to retreat. One is to return to Carpentaria base through the territorial waters of the East Asian Republic, and the other is to go around the Arctic Ocean and return to Gibraltar base.

Neither of these two roads is easy to take, not to mention that they are only a remnant army now, with many wounded and a shortage of supplies.

Now we must find out what happened at the Carpentaria base.

"The telegram said that when we started the war, the Orb fleet left the territorial waters and moved towards Papua New Guinea, advancing in four directions. One set up a front in the Torres Strait, one stopped at Osprey Reef, one directly occupied Port Moresby, and the last main force landed in the Gulf of Papua."

"Where are the people at the Carpentaria base? Are they just watching?" Cruze asked.

"No, the remaining troops at the Carpentaria base were also dispatched, but the enemy's front was too tight, and Orb also dispatched the MS troops. They were defeated and had no choice but to retreat to the Carpentaria base."

"Tsk, what a waste!" Cruze cursed. The remaining troops at the Carpentaria base were not many, but not few. Orb was so big, how many troops could it have? They were blocked by a small fleet of the enemy, which means that the enemy had already arranged a perfect defense line before they met the enemy, and that they only discovered the enemy's actions when the enemy had already hit them right under their noses. What else could they be! ?

"What should we do now?" The commander asked Cruze. Originally, Cruze was the commander-in-chief of this operation, but he was asked to act as the commander because Cruze needed to drive the MS to attack.

"...Is the battle over there over?" Cruze asked.

"No specific news yet."

"...Accommodate the MS troops, the fleet will dive, and return to the Gibraltar base from the Arctic Ocean."

"But..."

"We only have this one way to go. The East Asian Republic will never let us go." Cruze was also helpless. It seemed that there were two ways to go, but in fact there was only one, that is, returning to the Gibraltar base from the Arctic Ocean.

"Yes."

Originally, Cruze was in a very good mood, but now he was in a mess. He returned to his room and took off his mask directly, and sat down on the chair tiredly.

"You are really hard to deal with. I didn't expect you to attack so quickly and have such a big appetite! But... hehe, the 'gift' I prepared for the world is not so simple, Yang Hui, let's wait and see."

...

Under the leadership of the Archangel, many friendly fleets were still preserved, but after they were out of danger, they dispersed. The Eurasian Federation troops had to return to their home country, and some of the Atlantic Federation soldiers who were originally abandoned also left. They still don't believe that they are abandoned, so they have to find a way to return to their home country.

If it weren't for the Archangel and the Dawn Gundam and other MS who saved them, they might have shot directly.

The Archangel received the very few people who were completely desperate for the top leaders and stopped on a small island not far away. First, they had to decide what to do in the future, and second, they also wanted to see Kira and Yang Hui.

"Yang Hui!"

Seeing Yang Hui, Maru and Bakilulu finally couldn't help it. They didn't care about other people at the scene and threw themselves into his arms and cried.

"Why... why on earth is this happening..."

Malu and Bakilu were completely disappointed with the Atlantic Federation's top brass. They could still find excuses to convince themselves of what had happened before, but this betrayal and abandonment completely dispelled the last bit of trust in their hearts.

The military uniforms they once regarded as their faith were always stinging their skin and their hearts when they wore them.

"Alas, it's okay, it's all over." Yang Hui gently hugged Malu and Bakilu and comforted them. He had always told them that the top brass of the Atlantic Federation were not trustworthy and were all a bunch of bastards, but they didn't believe it. Now that they have discovered the cruelty of reality, their former faith has collapsed, and Yang Hui doesn't know how to comfort them.

"Yang Hui..."

"Come with me to Orb."

"... Yeah."

After Malu and Bakilu agreed, Yang Hui looked at Mu and others again.

"Come with me to Orb. The Atlantic Federation can no longer accommodate you."

"..." Everyone lowered their heads with gnashing teeth. Of course, they knew they could not return to the Atlantic Federation. Even if they were abandoned, their identities were still soldiers. They violated the orders of their superiors and evacuated the battlefield privately, which was a violation of military orders.

Even smarter people have thought that they are already dead in the Atlantic Federation's list. The top leaders will not allow the truth to be exposed. They will face the result of execution if they go back.

Orb is undoubtedly a good place to go. The peace of the neutral country makes them linger, and the top military leader of Orb is Yang Hui. Yang Hui will not use them as abandoned like the top leaders of the Atlantic Federation.

But... except for Miliariya, Saiyi and Kaz, the others are like Maru and Bakilulu. The military uniforms on their bodies are their beliefs, and now... even if they are shattered, it does not mean that they have completely disappeared. It is difficult for them to accept being traitors for a while.

Without getting a response from everyone, Yang Hui was not anxious, but looked in another direction, where the Freedom Gundam was parked, and Kira in a ZAFT pilot suit walked over.

"Yang Hui, everyone..."

"Welcome back, Kira."

"Well, thank you, Yang Hui, I received your gift, although I can't say I like it."

"Kira, it's really you!"

When Malu and others saw that Kira was still alive, they found it hard to accept for a while, even if they were face to face.

"Long time no see, Captain, Lieutenant, Major, and everyone." He smiled at everyone.

"Kira!" After coming to their senses and confirming that this was the real Kira, everyone rushed over to surround him. The joy of reunion diluted the sadness and anger, and Frey threw herself into Kira's arms and cried.

"Frei, I'm back."

"Wuwuwuwu, don't do this again next time! I was scared to death! Wuwuwuwu..."

Kira also saw a lot of things clearly, including the twisted feelings between him and Frei. He was sure that he fell in love with Frei, even if it was just a little bit. Now that they met again, he couldn't turn a blind eye. Yang Hui was right. A man must be responsible to the end. As for whether Frei's love for him was still twisted, he didn't care. Even if it was twisted, he would help Frei turn it around.

"You kid!"

"Why are you here?"

"You...you really...are you not a ghost?"

"Well, no." Kira responded to everyone and crossed the human rights to come to Saiyi. It was a bit complicated at first, but soon became clear.

"Sai, I'm sorry..."

"You bastard!" Sai punched Kira with tears in his eyes, "But you're still alive... That's great!"

"Well, sorry, I made you worry." Kira was not angry, but smiled happily, because he knew Sai was really worried about him, and Sai had let it go. Compared with the complicated relationship between the three, he cared more about Kira's safety.

"Did you go to ZAFT?" Mu asked.

"Yes, but I'm not ZAFT, and I'm not the Earth Army."

"Huh?"

"I understand." Malu and Bakilulu left Yang Hui's arms. There were indeed many things between them and Kira that needed to be discussed. As for Kira's statement that he was neither ZAFT nor the Earth Army, everyone had no other ideas, after all, they were in the same situation now.

"What about that machine? What should we do?" Maru asked. Since Kira was back and met them, they would have to act together in a short time.

"If you mean maintenance and supply, then it is not needed for the time being. That machine is equipped with an anti-neutron jammer."

"Anti-neutron jammer? In other words... nuclear power!"

"If you want to retrieve its data, I will refuse this request and leave here. If you want to rob it, I will protect it even if I am your enemy."

"Kira..."

"You..."

Maru and others looked at Kira in disbelief, not because of Kira's speech, but Kira's eyes and attitude. They had never seen such a firm look on Kira.

"This includes you, Yang Hui."

"Puff~Hahahaha..." Feeling Kira's hostility, Yang Hui and Lyle couldn't help laughing, and even Setsuna and Tieria, who had always had a cold expression, couldn't help but curl up their mouths.
