Chapter 481: Gathering of Heroes
On the outskirts of the Kingdom of Scandinavia, Orb's army was no longer hidden, and surrounded the entire country openly.
At the moment the battle began, Wang Liumei had already held a press conference to announce to the world that behind the Atlantic Federation, behind [Blue Cosmos], there was the figure of the death merchant [LOGOS]. They relied on provoking wars to gain various interests for themselves, and behind [LOGOS], it was Scandinavia that was manipulating, so the root cause of the world's distortion was the Kingdom of Scandinavia.
At the same time as the announcement, countless evidence was also announced, otherwise people all over the world would not believe it. [LOGOS] Fortunately, the Kingdom of Scandinavia still has a good reputation in the international community. It does not fight or compete, has no ambition, and maintains good diplomatic relations with many countries. Even if it follows the lead of the Atlantic Federation on the surface, it has not caused dissatisfaction from others.
Not only is the Kingdom of Scandinavia too weak on the surface, it has also portrayed itself as a tragic character who "has to obey because of helplessness".
And now, the iron-clad facts have mercilessly torn off the false mask of the Kingdom of Scandinavia, revealing its bloody true face... It's not really its true face, at least the intelligence of Festum has not been made public.
But this is enough to explain why Orb suddenly launched large-scale combat operations around the world and why it sent a large army to besiege the small country of the Kingdom of Scandinavia.
Similarly, the East Asian Republic and the Duane Halbottom faction also held a press conference immediately afterwards, announcing all the core members of [LOGOS] that they had obtained, and publicly tried them, which also pushed public opinion to the peak and ignited the indignation of people all over the world, especially the grassroots members of [Blue Cosmos], who were completely following the beliefs of [Blue Cosmos] and hating the Adjuster, but now...
[Blue Cosmos] was actually controlled by a group of death merchants, who were just trying to create disputes and profit from them, which caused their beliefs to collapse, and all the negative emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were vented on [Blue Cosmos].
In the troops surrounded by the Kingdom of Scandinavia, the Archangel quietly docked on the sea, waiting for the arrival of Yang Hui and others.
"Haven't they arrived yet?" Mu asked anxiously. After all, he knew more and knew that this was a battle that would determine the fate of the world.
"There is still half an hour before the scheduled time." Malu was also very anxious, but she was the captain and had to keep her emotions stable.
"Captain, Lieutenant Colonel Huo and Major Kelly have arrived!"
"Lieutenant Colonel Reina and Major Harrison have arrived!"
"Major Houston has arrived!"
"Lieutenant Carl and Lieutenant Broderick of the Space Army have landed on the Earth on the Kirin! Luo Juel of the Scrap House and Cong Yunhe of [Tail of the Giant Serpent] are accompanying them!"
"Major Juel of the ZAFT Army, Captain Elsman, Lieutenant Hanifs, and Lieutenant Westingfrus have arrived!"
...
Messages came one after another, representing the arrival of one ace after another, including those from Orb and ZAFT, all of whom rushed here after completing their missions to participate in the final decisive battle.
"Contact the Kirin, receive them as much as possible, and resupply them immediately."
"Understood."
The Archangel recovered some of the machines, and the others temporarily went to the Kirin for resupply. Especially the aces of the ZAFT army. ZAFT does not have an integrated air-space warship. Only the most advanced Minerva has the ability to fly briefly in the atmosphere. As a result, it was left in the universe by Yang Hui, so they can only temporarily go to the Kirin or Archangel to stay and wait for the arrival of others.
"What's the situation?" After boarding the Kirin, everyone rushed to the combat meeting room. No matter whether they knew each other or not, they nodded and greeted each other. After all, the next battle was very dangerous, and they were very few comrades.
"Except for the Sky Sword, everyone has arrived. Where is Mina?" Malu asked Swen Carl Bayan and Emilio Brodrick.
"The commander used the [Sky Boat], and her internal organs were displaced. She should not have woken up yet." Swen Carl Bayan replied.
"Mina! Alas..." Malu sighed. She knew Mina's character, arrogant, and competitive, and she couldn't say anything.
"After emergency treatment, the doctor said there is no danger to life."
"That's good."
"I say..." Isaac leaned against the wall with his arms folded, his tone a little impatient, "Why hasn't that guy come yet?"
"Isaac!" Diego and other ZAFT aces were frightened by Isaac's tone and attitude. They are now on Orb's ship. If they accidentally piss off the other party, they will be the meat filling of the dumplings.
"It doesn't matter." Malu first stabilized their emotions. After all, they are all comrades in the next battle, and they can't make the relationship awkward. "The Sky Sword has entered the scheduled orbit and is expected to meet us in ten minutes."
"Tsk, what a hassle." Isaac complained, and what he said also represented the thoughts of many people present, "Since it is so dangerous, why not just use nuclear weapons to flatten that country? Orb should have it, right?"
"Ob will not take the initiative to use nuclear weapons to attack other countries. Once nuclear weapons lose their deterrent significance, it will be a disaster for the world." Malu explained with a normal expression, but these were all excuses, because the intelligence of Festum had not been made public, and most of the people present did not know how terrible the enemy they might face this time was.
It was not that Festum was not afraid of nuclear bombs, but that they were worried, because they only knew that Festum was hidden in the core area of the palace of the Kingdom of Scandinavia, but where this core area was, whether it was above ground or underground, was unclear.
Once nuclear bombs were used, all traces of the Kingdom of Scandinavia would be erased. Once Festum was hidden deep underground, it could avoid the attack of nuclear weapons. In a short period of time, they would not be able to explore the ruins of the Kingdom of Scandinavia. Once they wasted time, or they escaped, and Festum resumed activities, then... the world would be finished.
So Yang Hui did not think of using nuclear weapons to directly destroy the Kingdom of Scandinavia. He had to see Festum being destroyed with his own eyes before he could be at ease.
"Tsk, coward." Because they didn't know the real information, Izak and others just thought that Orb cared too much about his face. Even if he promised not to use nuclear weapons at the beginning, what would happen? Since the war has been declared and it is confirmed that it is the enemy, then just destroy the enemy!
Ten minutes passed quickly, and the Sword of Heaven descended from the sky and came to the side of the Archangel and the Kirin.
"Yang Hui."
"Thank you for your hard work, Malu."
"It's okay. Compared with your mission, we have already had an easy time."
"Are all the people here?"
"Except Mina who used the [Ark of Heaven] and is in a coma, everyone else is here."
"Mina... forget it, I'll preach later, everyone go online."
"Understood."
Soon, all the aces present looked at Yang Hui's young and majestic face, and couldn't help but get nervous.
"Now I will announce to you the full content of this battle plan, including our goal this time, and the real information about it. The information to be disclosed next may bring a huge shock to you, but please believe that all this is the most real information."
