This warship, which was redesigned by the Earth Alliance by transplanting Visser's armored cavalry Deucalion, was quietly parked in the dock.
This is the dockyard of the United Earth Headquarters, and it is also the final resting place of the battleship Deucalion.
The Deucalion, which had just been activated, was once again sealed and put to sleep. It was not because Deucalion suffered any irreparable damage, nor was it because Deucalion had reached the time of retirement.
But because the heart of Deucalion, the heart of Deucalion, the armored cavalryman of Visser, is about to usher in the fateful moment of stopping.
"What time is it now? I don't know, Saki."
Standing in the dock control center, Darzana's eyes were very calm.
Although she, as a captain who had just taken office and was about to retire, was also facing the same fate as the battleship Deucalion, Darzana did not feel any pity.
Because she knew that as the Deucalion's heart stopped, this war would finally come to an end.
"It's 0500, five o'clock in the morning. There are still 5 minutes until the last communication."
I don’t know that Saki Kaoru stood up straight. Like Darzana, when the battleship Deucalion was decommissioned, they also moved from front-line positions to logistics positions and served as instructors at the Military Command Academy. Of course, as a consolation,
The military ranks of the two men have naturally been promoted.
"Five minutes? This may be our last chance to see the scenery here. I don't know, Irisaki. Have you planned what to do next?"
Darzana sighed secretly.
The war is indeed over.
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. But, according to Brother Kaizuka, that mysterious world seems to be very good."
I don't know, Saki Xun was silent for a moment, and then came up with a very tempting idea.
"I don't know, do you believe what Brother Kaizuka said?"
Darzana was stunned and asked subconsciously.
"Well, isn't it? The unknown and the mysterious are the sources that drive the development of human society. Knowledge comes from the culture, life, and customs of advanced civilizations, and even the basic scientific and technological knowledge of developing civilizations. For those on our planet,
It is undoubtedly a fatal temptation for human beings."
I don’t know if Saki Kaoru spoke eloquently, but Darzana frowned.
"I don't know, Saki. Has anyone ever told you why you're not lovable?"
"Really? I personally think that being considerate will add a lot of points to one's personal image."
"You are talking nonsense!!"
Five minutes passed quickly.
As a radio wave was sent from the void, the fate of the battleship Deucalion also came to a decisive moment.
"This is Avalon! United Earth Headquarters, please answer!"
The correspondent glanced at Darzana and handed over the headset.
"This is the United Earth Headquarters. I am Darzana. Avalon please speak!"
"Hello! Captain Darzana. I am Captain Teresa of Avalon! From now on, our Avalon and Wind Chimes will enter the hyperspace voyage. At that time, due to the special status of the hyperspace voyage, your
Unpredictable situations may happen to Deucalion, which you belong to! Have you made the corresponding preparations?"
"Yes! Captain Theresa, our preparations have been completed! From now on, the battleship Deucalion will be temporarily sealed. Please rest assured!"
"Understood! Then, the communication ends here. Captain Darzana, if there is a chance in the future, we may meet one day."
"Really? Captain Teresa. I will look forward to it. This is the United Earth Headquarters. End of communication! Good luck to Avalon and the Wind Chime!"
The next second, the main screen of the control center lit up.
At the same time, a picture of space with many rubbles floating appeared.
"The communication is over. Is the console connected to the satellite?"
Darzana handed the headset back to the correspondent and looked at the main screen.
"Yes! The signal is good now. The signal interference that has been bothering us since the Orbital Knights launched the war has completely disappeared."
"Has the signal interference disappeared? Haha, this is really a parting gift. But there is probably nothing worth paying attention to on that lunar base."
Darzana knew that when Iseiram publicly announced that he would lead the remaining tens of thousands of people to follow Avalon and the super battleship MACROSS, which once appeared, brought the unparalleled shock of the United Earth Army to leave the earth, the moon
Even if the base will not be destroyed, there will still be an empty shell left, waiting for the Earth Alliance to take over.
As for the latter, Darzana is the most confident.
After all, in her past contacts, she didn't think Lei Mingkai and Aiseilam would be the decisive ones.
"Lock signal! Avalon, and the Wind Chime are ignited one after another! Colonel Darzana, it's about to begin."
"Well. Get ready to record everything! This will be the first opportunity for us humans to experience space jumps and what they call time and space navigation. Cheer up!"
"yes!"
When Darzana said this, everyone's spirits became tense.
They did not dare to make any irreparable mistakes in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In Avalon, Aeseiram secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The decision to take tens of thousands of people away was undoubtedly an impulsive one.
But what she didn't expect was that Lei Mingkai and Captain Hudson of the MACROSS Wind Chime didn't object to this impulsive and reckless decision.
"Princess Iseilam, believe me, this will be the most correct decision you have ever made in your life."
This is what Captain Hudson said after hearing Iseilam's decision.
Then, the tens of thousands of people at the lunar base and their carry-on luggage, including the ALDNOAH reactor, the armored cavalry, and many other products born from ALDNOAH's black technology were all packed aboard the Wind Chime.
"Space technology?"
Looking at the Wind Chime that kept swallowing up supplies from the moon base, Lei Mingkai raised doubts.
"Yeah. Yes. As the main battleship on the front line of the fight against the Abyss, MACROSS can easily take half a year, or even several years, to perform its mission. Especially in the abyss, the environment is so bad that support may be cut off at any time.
, the improvement of material reserves is particularly important. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, each cutting-edge warship will be equipped with different specifications of space technology."
Hudson nodded and introduced to Lei Mingkai some of the space technology configured on the Wind Chime.
"Really? It seems that Avalon is just a battleship in its infancy. There is a huge gap between it and the Wind Chime."
From the outside, the Wind Chime looks no different from the MACROSS that Lei Mingkai is familiar with, but its interior is beyond Lei Mingkai's imagination.
Because judging from the inner nature of the Wind Chime, this is not MACROSS at all!!
"Hahaha! Don't underestimate yourself, Mr. Lei Mingkai. Every inspector of the Space and Time Administration will eventually have a battleship as powerful as the Wind Chime, no, even more powerful. After all, compared with those of us who are fighting on the front line of the abyss,
, the inspectors are the warriors who go deep into the abyss and strike a fatal blow at the abyss' weak point."
"That's right."
This is the memory of how tens of thousands of people were taken away from the moon base.
Now, everyone at the moon base has been arranged.
All that's left is to enter the hyperspace channel and return to the City of Stars.
"Princess Iseilam, please sit tight! We are about to set off."
Teresa stretched out her hand and motioned for Aeseiram to sit down.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Captain Teresa."
After thanking Aiseilam slightly, he subconsciously looked at the guest seat to Teresa's left.
There was no one there.
"Excuse me, is the Knight Commander busy with other things now?"
Theresa was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Well, the Knight Commander is currently accompanying Her Majesty Euphemia. Therefore, he did not come to the bridge."
"Your Majesty Euphemia?"
After saying this, Iseiram remembered that Euphemia seemed to have not appeared for a while due to physical reasons after the battle in the royal capital.
"Yes. Her Majesty Euphemia is currently ill and is recuperating. Therefore, except for the knight commander and necessary medical staff, she does not want to meet anyone else. Please forgive me for this, Princess Iseilam! In addition, she does not want to meet anyone else except the knight commander and necessary medical personnel.
, His Majesty and the Knight Commander also said that after returning to the City of Stars, a grand welcome party will be held for Princess Aiseilam and the people who are following you."
Teresa's explanation made Aseiram frown slightly, but she didn't say anything more and chose to accept it.
"I understand! Then, I will give our Visser the highest gift of thanks to Her Majesty Euphemia and Knight Commander Remingka at the welcome meeting, to thank Your Majesty and the Knight Commander for opening up a new world for us Visser."
This was the end of a small confrontation.
The moment this small confrontation ends, it's time to enter the hyperspace tunnel.
colorful light,
The dreamlike flower of light, as if it does not exist in the world at all, is the symbol of Avalon and the Wind Chime entering the super-dimensional passage.
Through the real-time satellite connection, everyone at the United Earth Headquarters was shocked by the two flowers of light blooming in the earth-moon orbit.
Especially when they learned that Avalon and the Wind Chime were about to enter a hyperspace voyage, the scientists gathered by the United Earth Headquarters with all their strength were so shocked that they forgot about the work at hand, until one of them unconsciously turned his gaze.
When they moved to a screen where no byte of data was read at all, the people who screamed woke them up.
"Impossible!! There is no data!! How is it possible?! All the satellites responsible for monitoring hyperspace navigation have not read any data at all?! How is it possible?!! Is this a dream?!!"
Dream?!
The two flowers of light that bloomed as Avalon and Wind Chimes completely disappeared from this world are in the orbit of the earth and the moon, announcing to the humans of this world that there are more wonderful things outside this vast and boundless universe.
world.
However, current human beings cannot even truly launch interstellar colonization by relying on the power they have created.
"They really tricked me."
Darzana looked at the two flowers of light on the screen and smiled slightly.
"However, it is a very good result. I don't know, Saki, if there is a chance, would you like to go to that world with me?"
"I'm happy to accompany you, Captain."
No matter how unbelievable it is to the United Earth Headquarters, time travel seems normal to Kaitsuka Inaho, who has experienced it.
"This is the bridge! Avalon has now entered the hyperspace channel! The hyperspace engine is operating normally. Everyone is off alert."
At the same time as the announcement from the bridge sounded, all the people who had tied themselves to safety chairs before the start of the hyperspace voyage unbuckled their seat belts and left the safety area in groups of two or three.
Among these people, Kaizuka Inaho and his sister Kaizuka Yuki were also among them.
"Sister Xue, you don't have to come with me, right? It's not like I won't come back."
After unbuckling his own seat belt with both hands and feet, Kaitsuka Inaho naturally reached out to help his sister unbuckle her seat belt.
"Ah! Thank you! Inaho."
Kaitsuka Yuki, who was first stumped by the seat belt and then rescued by Kaitsuka Inaho, heard her brother's nonchalant words. She suddenly became angry and raised her hand and went straight to Kaitsuka Inaho's forehead.
"Idiot brother! We are siblings! No sister would let her brother run away to another strange world. Besides, I don't know if those people will lie to you."
Kaizuka Inaho touched his red forehead and said calmly:
"No. That's not a lie. When I was on Avalon, I made comparisons through various materials. Although the language they used seemed to be the same as ours, there were some differences in the subtleties.
Difference. Especially the star map saved on this battleship is also different from what we have collected."
As he talked, Kaizuka Inaho saw his sister's expression gradually becoming dissatisfied and subconsciously changed the topic.
"Speaking of which, is there really no problem with the Earth Alliance? Strictly speaking, Sister Xue, you are considered a deserter now."
"Idiot! If I am a deserter, so are you, Inaho. After receiving my application for retirement, the headquarters approved my retirement almost instantly, as well as yours."
"Yeah?"
"Yes! After all, joining the Earth United Army is also to improve our family's life."
Seeing his sister's fussy expression, Kaizuka Inaho smiled slightly.
"Thank you! Sister Xue."
"Idiot brother!"
Outside the door, Koichiro Marito breathed a slow sigh of relief.
"These siblings really don't make people worry!"
"Haha! This shows that their relationship is very deep, doesn't it?"
Next to him, Cecil closed his hands slightly, with a touch of emotion on his face.
"That's true! But having said that, Mr. Marito, is this also true for your retirement?"
Lloyd looked at Koichiro Marito.
"Yes! Maybe it's because I have such a bad reputation as an alcoholic. Before I even applied, they kicked me out of the army! But that's okay."
"Really? Then, welcome to join our Britannia Empire! Your Excellency, Koichiro Marito!!"
