Chapter 280 The beginning of the withdrawal of the Utopia

"Thank you, Mr. Durandal."

After hurriedly putting on makeup to disguise himself, he arrived at his hiding place. Durandal, a rising star in the political arena with elegant black hair, nodded in greeting.

The look of grief for losing her father could no longer be seen on Lux Kulayin's face.

"My condolences, Miss Lux." Durandal, who was polite and full of personal charm, smiled and greeted.

"I deeply apologize for what happened to Speaker Kulayin, if it weren't for the fact that my power is too weak."

"If there was no way to check and balance Sarah in parliament, this kind of thing might not happen."

"This has nothing to do with Mr. Durandal." Shaking her head, Lux looked at the elegant Durandal in front of her with a smile.

Observing his father's mouth carefully, he was one of the candidates for the outstanding leader among the coordinators of the next generation.

In fact, when Lux was observing herself, Durandal was also doing the same thing.

When he received an invitation letter from an unknown person at his home, he hesitated, but for the greater ideal in his heart, he came without hesitation.

Although it seems that the power of the Sala faction dominates the satellite group now, the Kulayin faction is still an important force that cannot be ignored.

Being able to deliver secretly developed weapons like the Freedom Gundam and escaping from the Sara faction's pursuit many times are proof of this!

What's more, now that the head of the Kulayin faction has just died, there is a crisis, and there is an opportunity in the crisis!

Durandal, who was familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, couldn't let this opportunity pass by!

"I wonder if Miss Lux invited me over as a guest. Is there anything she wants me to do?"

Seeing that Lux never revealed the serious reason why he came over, Durandal threw a straight ball and expressed his attitude first.

That means that he is on the side of the Kulayin faction. Even though he has not made it public before, his position is still biased towards the Kulayin faction.

At the same time, this is also in line with the current situation and shows that I am a magnanimous person.

After thinking about it, Lux hesitated for a rare moment. Of course, a person with ulterior motives is not worthy of trust, but he is an overly direct person.

Do you really want to follow your father's original idea and transfer part of the resources of the Kulayin faction to support Durandal, so as to act as a check and balance on Sarah?

Just when Lux couldn't see anything on the surface because of her father's death, in fact, because she had lost an important supporter, she didn't have the courage to give it a try as before.

"No, Miss Lux! ZAFT has just issued a declaration of war. In the name of Orb repairing the Alliance Archangel and taking in our defected Freedom Gundam, ZAFT has officially declared war on Orb! And the war has begun.

The time is scheduled to be ten minutes later!”

Desert Tiger's brother-in-law, panting, pushed open the door to the room, and rushed in shouting as if he had lost all control.

"Attack Orb in ten minutes?" Her beautiful eyes suddenly opened, and Lux ​​stood up subconsciously and asked.

Oh? Looking at Lux who had lost her composure, a strange look flashed in Durandal's eyes.

Sure enough, there is no way to completely avoid the sudden loss of father's support, even if the girl in front of him is already quite outstanding.

This is really great!

"How could this happen! Speaker Sarah never mentioned this in the Council."

The expression was also extremely shocked. Durandal only slowed down for half a beat, and then he stood up and said loudly.

"Has Speaker Sara considered Plant to be his family? Miss Lux, I will go back to the council and request an emergency review. Speaker Sara must give us an explanation!"

"Plant must not slip into a dictatorship!"

After speaking, he appeared very serious and anxious, pretending that Durandal was about to leave and run to the council to hold a meeting.

"Wait, Mr. Durandal!"

When the dark-haired rising star in the political arena, a man whom her father had once favored before his death, ran to the door, Lux made a decision in her heart, and then called him decisively.

My hand was already on the door handle, and I heard the sound I wanted to hear. It was safe!

Durandal, who knew what he was doing, showed a smile of success behind his back where Lux could never see.

"Miss Lux, time is running out now. If you have anything else, we can talk about it later."

The smile disappeared the moment he turned around. No matter how you look at Durandal's anxious expression, it cannot be faked.

"ZAFT's war against Orb has begun. Even if the council is convened now in ten minutes, it will not help."

With the decision made in her heart, Lux's true charm was revealed, and she spoke softly.

"Under such circumstances, we must focus on the future. Speaker Sarah cannot act endlessly, so Mr. Durandal, please become the leader of the opposition in the Council!"

"Only in this way will the dawn of peace come, and communication and understanding between coordinators and natural persons will be possible again!"

Regardless of his image, he ran inside Orb's highest official residence, pushing aside staff members who were milling about like headless flies one after another.

The scenes before me were inexplicably overlapped with those on Orb's colonial satellite that day.

Cagalli felt extremely disappointed.

It turns out that it’s not that the officials on Orb’s moon are incompetent, but that all officials on Orb are incompetent.

Looking at the helpless Orb managers who only knew how anxious they were, the thoughts that Cagalli had already had in her mind became more and more determined.

"Father, ask for help from the United Army! I will contact Rhodes directly. I believe that Obben Island will be able to survive the crisis this time!"

Cagalli shouted as she pushed open the door, ignoring the urgent defense arrangements being made by Uzmi inside and the surprised looks of other Orb superiors.

"Yes, yes! Ask for help from the Union Army!"

With a cold sweat on his forehead, the head of the Sailan family, the head of the Mediterranean family, nodded repeatedly.

He wished he could grab the phone on Uzmi's desk right now and hand it to Cagalli, the phone specifically used to contact the coalition forces.

So that the main force of the Union Army and the Blue Cosmos led by Rhodes would appear at the doorstep of Orb Country like teleportation.

"Then what? Join the United Army and declare war on the plant?"

After calmly assigning the task to the Minister of Defense, Uzumi calmly said to Cagalli and everyone present.

Then he asked the head of the Sailan family.

"Haven't you been advocating getting closer to the plant recently? Let the coalition troops come over now, okay?"

After hearing Uzmi's words, I didn't know how to respond, and I was like ants on a hot pot, scurrying around anxiously.

The head of the Sailan family almost shouted, "It is your son-in-law's request to get close to the plant. I am a staunch Federalist!"

"Why not!" Cagalli didn't have so many other worries. She slapped her hands hard on the table in front of Uzmi and leaned forward.

"Ten minutes! Now there are no more ten minutes! ZAFT simply planned a sneak attack! Now we still have some free time to discuss the next thing."

"Isn't the top priority the priority to protect Orb? Let's consider the rest later!"

"No, Orb's power can protect Orb!" Looking at her daughter calmly, Uzumi once again flatly rejected Cagalli's proposal.

"Orb is a peace-loving country and will never join the vortex of world war. Don't forget Orb's ideals!"

"Ideas cannot be eaten! Why don't you understand? Father!"

Really unable to understand her father's stubbornness, Cagalli simply reached for the special phone on the table to contact the Union Army and Rhodes.

Bang! Reaching out to hold down her daughter's hand that had grabbed the phone, Uzmi shouted coldly.

"The guards will take Cagalli down. She is not allowed to contact the outside world without my order!"

"Yes!" After hearing the request of the top representative, four guards came in and dragged the girl out regardless of Cagalli's identity and the grief-stricken expression on her face.

"Father, why! Didn't you say you wanted to protect Orb?"

Heartbroken and without any struggle, Cagalli shouted one last time before disappearing.

"Ob has Orb's ideals!" Stick to Your Heart Uzmi seemed to be explaining her daughter's confusion, and said to herself and other people in the room.

I don't know what happened inside Orb's highest official residence. Because of Plant's sudden declaration of war, ZAFT will come in ten minutes.

In the peaceful and peaceful country, it was like a piece of ice dropped into a boiling oil pan.

The island is full of citizens fleeing the city. Because they are eager to escape, every road in the city is crowded with vehicles.

The number of vehicles increased in an instant, and there were also car accidents caused by people fleeing in a hurry.

This has further worsened urban road traffic.

There were scoldings, fights, criminals taking advantage of the chaos, and the lack of security personnel.

Before the war came, a scene of purgatory on earth had already appeared on the small island of Orb.

The cries of children, the roars of adults, the plumes of smoke caused by car accidents and man-made accidents, etc., all make up the pictures on the Ukiyo-e.
