Chapter 13 It’s Too Late

Three days passed in a flash. Xiao Yun, Erica and several engineers took a plane to South Africa. In addition to the golden machine, another M1 Heretic and related equipment and various equipment needed for logistics will arrive one after another through some special channels within a week.

However, when Xiao Yun and his team just arrived in South Africa and got off the plane, Erica received a headache.

After the connection was cut off, Erica, who changed into a skirt and a straw hat, covered her face helplessly: "We are one step late. Her Royal Highness has now gone to North Africa."

Xiao Yun looked up at the sky speechlessly. The sun was very dazzling: "………………"

He came here with great interest to see the scene of the Archangel falling from the sky, but he went to the wrong place.

"But this is not the worst." Erica said helplessly: "Although it was expected that the princess would not play by the rules, the letter from Major Chisaca who was with Princess Cagalli said that the princess had joined the resistance army in the Dawn Desert."

"Originally, I was just planning to let you practice with the bandit warlords in the melee here, but now the situation is a bit complicated."

"I know, that's ZAFT's territory." Xiao Yun spread his hands helplessly and said: "This Dawn Desert is mainly aimed at ZAFT. In other words, if the runaway princess is really in danger, then the first thing we have to face now is the regular army of ZAFT. . "

Erica also felt a headache: "But if this happens, the problem will be much more serious. The strength of an individual is not enough to compete with the regular army. If we really go, it will not be a real battle but a suicide. "

Xiao Yun smiled indifferently: "The boat will naturally straighten itself when it reaches the bridge. Now that we are here, we can only follow the footsteps of Her Royal Highness the Princess and move forward. The rest is to take one step at a time. The situation may not be as bad as you think. "

Erica sighed: "I hope so. It can only be so. "

Just like this, the few people who just got off the plane turned around and got on the plane again and started chasing Cagalli's footsteps in the direction of North Africa.

Now the whole of North Africa is almost within the sphere of influence of ZAFT, but there are also many resistance forces active under the surface, and the Dawn Desert is one of the best.

When on the plane, Erica found the information of the Dawn Desert for Xiao Yun. Although it is just a guerrilla organization, this organization is not ordinary. A small organization has a wide intelligence network spread across various countries, and even maintains a close private relationship with Orb.

Of course, on the surface, Orb definitely cannot have any relationship with the Dawn Desert. Everything is communicated through vests, but in fact there is a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship. This can be seen in the information Erica gave Xiao Yun.

At least in addition to the Earth Federation Army, which is eager for the Dawn Desert to disrupt ZAFT, Orb is also a powerful supplier of equipment and funds, and Chisaka, who is now protecting Cagalli, has an unclear relationship with the Dawn Desert.

At the same time, the current leader of the Dawn Desert, Ashman, and the representative of Orb, Asha, are also old acquaintances, so it is not surprising why Cagalli ran to this remote place to join such a guerrilla.

The other information is about the ZAFT army stationed in North Africa, which is also the main resistance target of the Dawn Desert. It belongs to the ZAFT regular army led by Andrew Bartfield, nicknamed the Desert Tiger. The thickness of the resume in the information alone clearly represents the fierce military exploits created by this Desert Tiger.

While Xiao Yun was looking at the information, Erica came to Xiao Yun with two glasses of water. She handed one of the glasses to Xiao Yun and asked, "How is it? Do you have a chance of winning against this Desert Tiger?"

"I don't know." Xiao Yun shook his head and told the truth, "It's hard to determine the opponent's strength from the paper without a real fight, but as long as it's a ground battle, I will be able to fight back anyway."

"But we agreed in advance that if the situation is not right, I will only delay time at most, but I will never fight to the death. I am not interested in anything that has nothing to do with the hired mission."

Erica was not as optimistic as Xiao Yun: "It's understandable. As long as it delays for a while, it will be enough for Major Chisaca to take Her Royal Highness the Princess to a safe place, but I hope it's better not to fight. ZAFT's regular army is better. "

Xiao Yun smiled slightly: "I'm afraid the runaway princess won't give us this opportunity."

Erica shook her head, not wanting to continue on this heavy topic. Looking at Xiao Yun, who still looked very young, she asked: "Why did you want to be a waste dealer?"

Xiao Yun looked at Erica strangely: "It was purely a coincidence, and I didn't know what I could do or what I should do. I just let it go and walked step by step to where I am now. Anyway, I don't have any clear goals, but I don't like to be idle. "

"Strange people, without goals but unwilling to do nothing, so they set their goals on making money. "Erica smiled lightly, raised the cup and took a sip of tea and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, today seems to be Valentine's Day?"

"Really?"

Xiao Yun was stunned and shook his head. Xiao Yun had never paid much attention to the passage of time since he came to this world, and he would not deliberately pay attention to what day it was. Anyway, it takes more than half a month to come to this world. It's not short, but every day is quite fulfilling.

Now think about it carefully, after arriving in Orb, the first ten days were spent every day. I just stayed in Shuguang Club for a few days, and then I was sent to Africa. I didn’t seem to have done much, but it seemed like He had done so much that it felt like a long time had passed.

Obviously, I calculated carefully that it would only take a few days to really get to know Erica in front of me, but probably because I stayed together for too long every day, it seemed that I was already very familiar with her.

Time passed quickly. A man walked out of the cockpit of the transport plane and whispered a few words to Erica. The latter nodded and said to Xiao Yun: "We are almost there, but we can't go directly into ZAFT's occupied area and nearby. There is no place to land, so you need to prepare for the airdrop."

Xiao Yun nodded and stood up. He picked up the VT and walked towards the back of the cabin. After walking down the stairs, he saw the golden Heretic lying in the cabin. In addition to the Heretic Gundam, there were also many other things in the huge cargo warehouse. supplies and vehicles. In fact, if this batch of supplies were not more important, this transport plane would not be unable to transport the M1 Heretic and the golden machine here at the same time.

A large transport plane with a length of almost 80 meters and a height of 18 meters is enough to carry more things besides the Heretic Gundam.

As soon as Xiao Yun sat in the cockpit and started up the aircraft, the communicator rang. As soon as he was connected, Erica's voice rang: "Xiao Yun, when we are ready, we will start releasing the golden aircraft." "Yes, we will follow you out after you drop it, and be careful to keep a distance from the material vehicles behind you."

"Understood, ready."

"Then let's get started."

The door of the cabin slowly opened, and the restraint device holding the golden machine was released after the door was fully opened. The golden machine slid and then completely lost weight and began to fall freely. As the golden machine detached, a box behind it Boxes of supplies were also put out one after another, and the last ones to follow were two off-road vehicles full of people.

When Xiao Yun landed easily with the help of the Xiangyi backpack thrusters, VT also immediately adjusted the grounding parameters so that the aircraft landed steadily on the ground.

When Xiao Yun controlled the machine to slowly turn around, what caught his eyes was the setting sun, the desert sky was the same color, and a row of parachutes slowly falling to the ground one by one. This scene made Xiao Yun suddenly have a special feeling. I wanted to express my feelings, but after thinking about it for a while, I didn’t know how to describe it. In the end, I just said silently in my heart, “Fuck.”

Looking at the picturesque scenery, I wanted to recite poems and send them to the world. But I am uneducated, so I can travel the world with just one word...
