The Pacific Fleet responsible for stopping the Freedom Gundam was completely destroyed!
When the news was conveyed back to the Gallarhorn headquarters by the survivors of the Pacific Fleet, the big shots sitting on those seats were all stunned by the unbelievable news.
Except for Iznario Farid, who temporarily left the Gallarhorn headquarters due to business, the other heads of the five families watched in silence the real-time footage transmitted back from the area where the Pacific Fleet sank.
The blazing flames burning steel battleships,
Thick smoke billowing into the sky,
There are also pictures of the Gallarhorn soldiers struggling to escape from the sinking battleship and swimming towards the nearby life rafts between life and death.
The great figure who has always stood at the top of Gallarhorn and even human society has brought an unimaginable impact.
The once invincible Gallarhorn fleet was so easily killed by an enemy of unknown origin.
total annihilation,
A disastrous defeat in which the entire army was wiped out.
At this moment, neither the eldest Duke Bakulanzan nor the youngest Duke Kuzan could say any word, word or sentence to describe the mood at this moment.
After a long time, the eldest Bagulan Zangong slowly exhaled, looked around at the clan leaders, and asked slowly:
"Everyone, do you know where Duke Farid is now?"
"Before he left, Lord Farid asked me to tell you that he will personally supervise the rescue operation as the guardian of Karta Isu."
Lesdal Elion, the head of the Elion family, one of the Seven Stars families, answered this question.
Lord Bagulanzang glanced at Lesdar Elian, who used to be a generous person and had a good reputation in Gjallarhorn, and nodded slowly.
"Since it is about the plan to rescue Karta Isiu, it is not surprising that Lord Farid did not attend this meeting. But after the meeting, we must inform Lord Farid of the destruction of the Pacific Fleet."
"Well, I don't think we need to worry about this problem! After all, Special Agent Major McGillis Farid is still at the headquarters, making final preparations for the next operation against Tekkadan."
The person who answered Bakulan Zangong was still Lesdar Elian.
Although this seemed a bit inappropriate, Bakulanzan didn't pay any attention to it.
As the head of the Elian family, who was very popular in the past and was also the guardian of the new Duke Kuzan, he was naturally qualified to answer the question. What's more, none of the other families wanted to answer Bagulanzan.
This was not intentional to show off to Bakulanzan, but they were still in the shock of being destroyed by the Pacific Fleet.
"McGillis Farid? Excellent young man."
Bagulanzan nodded slowly, but then he slowly picked up the cane beside him and gave it a heavy slap.
"Boom!"
The sound of the cane hitting the ground instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"How long has this been? How long has it been since we, Gallarhorn, no, since we were born, have not faced this situation? Mr. Erian, in your memory, the earth is like our backyard.
Has there ever been a situation that destroyed our fleet?"
Lesdal Elian frowned? Then he slowly shook his head.
"No."
"Where's Mr. Falk?"
"No."
"Where is Lord Baduwen?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when asked by the eldest man, Bagulanzan. Then he shook his head.
"No! In my memory? The earth is like Gjallarhorn's backyard. Nothing as terrible as today has ever happened."
"That's right! Never. Since I was born, nothing as terrible as today has ever happened to the earth under the supervision of Gjalalhorn. I believe that everyone, including me, is just like the new Kuzan
Honestly, this is my first time encountering something like this."
The old man took a breath and continued:
"So, has anything like this happened in the hundreds of years since Gallarhorn was founded?"
This question immediately stumped the patriarchs present.
Everyone, look at me. I look at you. I couldn't answer the old man's question for a while.
Until Lesdar Elian, stroking his beard, slowly told a brief history.
"In the history of Gallallhorn, there have indeed been situations that allowed Gallallhorn's fleet to be destroyed in a short period of time. But? That only happened during that period of history that should have been wiped out long ago.
situation."
Lesdal El-Erian's eyes gradually revealed a sharp light.
"And that period of history is what we call the era of calamity wars."
"What?!"
"What?!"
"Mr. Aili! You can't joke, can you?! That? That was hundreds of years ago. How is it possible..."
As the youngest Duke Kuzan among the patriarchs of the Seven Stars Family, Iogu Kuzan finally couldn't help but speak.
"What happened hundreds of years ago? How could it happen again now? Mr. Kuzan, is this what you want to say?"
Lesdar Elian raised his hand to interrupt Iogu Kuzan's speech, and then continued:
"Although even I find it a bit unbelievable, in fact, the situation that can cause the destruction of the Gallarhorn fleet as a whole can only happen in the era of calamity wars."
"Mr. Erian, are you saying that we, Gallarhorn, should raise the alarm to the highest level now that the Pacific Fleet is destroyed, and then plunge the world into the same fear as during the Calamity War? Just because of an unknown aircraft.
?!"
Duke Falk refuted Lesdal Allian's words, but Lesdal Allian was not angry.
"No. I didn't mean that. It's just that I used an inappropriate metaphor. Compared with the calamity battle that wiped out mankind back then, our enemy now is an unidentified fighter piloted by an unknown fighter with poor performance.
A human being who transcends the body of what we, Gjallarhorn, know.”
After a pause, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Lesdar Elian's lips.
"This is much better than when our ancestors faced cold and ruthless machines that only knew how to kill humans."
Outside the window is the endless, sunny ocean.
McGillis squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the sea view outside. He raised his hand to turn off the communication from the outside world and exhaled slightly.
"What a surprise!"
Amidst the sighs, the voice of my friend Galio also came in from outside the door.
"Special Major McGillis! This is bad!"
"Calm down! Galio. If you want to tell me the news about the destruction of the Pacific Fleet, then you can relax. I already know about it and have informed Mr. Farid who is out of town."
The calmness shown by McGillis gradually calmed Galio down.
Then, he showed a wry smile.
"I didn't expect Kalta's extraterrestrial orbital command and control fleet to be so miserable. Not only was the commander captured, he even destroyed a Pacific fleet."
McGillis looked at the wry smile on Galio's face, turned slightly, and looked at the endless sea again.
"Gario, maybe you'll be unhappy if I say this. But, I'm afraid it's her fault that Carta is in this situation now. You who participated in that battle may know more than me. What do you think?
In that case, what action should Karta take?"
"Of course, use fleet firepower to seal off the airspace, and coordinate with the attack rhythm of the MS troops to encircle and destroy the aircraft..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Galio was stunned.
At that time, what Karta did fundamentally violated the command requirements taught in the textbook, and might even be included in the many failure cases in the textbook.
"Understood? Galio."
Even though his back was to Galio, McGillis knew that Galio's expression must be changing at this moment.
The bitterness on Galio's face gradually deepened.
He understood what McGillis said.
It’s just that it’s a little hard to accept Karta’s self-inflicted actions.
"Despite this, we still have to rescue Karta, don't we? This is not only for the friends we grew up with, but also for the sake of our Gallarhorn and the face of the Seven Stars family."
Galio's bitterness gradually receded, and what remained was his firm will to save his childhood sweetheart.
"Yes! That's true. However, we must master new power. Now, this Gallarhorn, which has become decayed and corrupted over hundreds of years, no longer has enough power to deal with new enemies."
When McGillis turned around again and faced Galio, Galio saw McGillis' eyes that were shining with an unknown but persistent light.
"Perhaps it's time to return this corrupt and decayed Gjallarhorn to its original starting point!!"
Deep in the ocean.
On the mirror-like sea, a huge cruise ship was heading north along the planned route, heading towards a city called Anchorage somewhere at the northern end of the ocean.
As night falls, the calm ocean becomes more quiet and mysterious while being enveloped by the scattered starlight.
However, beneath the veil of silence and mystery, the interior of the cruise ship was filled with joy.
“Awesome!!!”
"Wow!!"
exclamation,
exclamation,
Even cheers rang out one after another in the cabin.
Listen carefully, it seems as if a carnival is going on.
In fact, the situation in the cabin now is not much different from that of a carnival.
"What happened? There seems to be some noise outside."
Before landing, Shimae, who was still moving with Tekkadan, slightly raised his eyes and looked at the place where the sound came from.
"It seems to be because of the news from Mr. Lei Mingkai."
Gudelia, who had just come from the dining hall, hesitated for a moment, but still showed a smile.
"Your Excellency Lei Mingkai's battle was successful. Now, there is no enemy in this ocean that can threaten this cruise ship."
"oh?"
Shi Miao raised her eyebrows, seeming a little surprised.
"Did Lord Remingy defeat Gjalalhorn's Pacific Fleet?"
"No. It was destroyed. Kai has sunk all of Gjallarhorn's Pacific Fleet."
The person who answered Shimei was not Gudelia, but a girl with pink hair tied into a high ponytail and wearing a purple formal suit.
"Oh? I wonder who you are?"
The strange girl made Shimiao's expression become slightly solemn.
Among the Tekka Group, he was the most unfamiliar, there were only two people he had never met before.
Even Karta Isho, who was captured by Remingkai, was witnessed by Shimei being commanded back and forth by Fumitan.
Therefore, the remaining two people are probably the pink girl in front of me and Lei Mingkai, who has been talked about by everyone in the Tekka Group.
"I am Lacus Klein. This is my first time meeting you! Your Excellency Tomonosuke Tamae. Please forgive me for not being able to visit you in time!"
The pink girl apologized to Shimiao with a kind smile and walked into the room.
At the same time, as soon as the pink girl walked into the room, the woman who followed behind her but was not noticed immediately by Shi Miao also surprised Shi Miao slightly.
"Karta Isu?!"
However, Shi Miao's expression was destined to be dominated by surprise.
The heavy footsteps that followed brought an aura of uneasiness, even fear.
It seems that it was born in the depths of human genes from the barbaric era, and will revive once it comes into contact with the terrible memories left over from the barbaric era.
"Teacher!! Be careful!!"
The young man standing behind Shi Miao took a quick step and stopped in front of Shi Miao. His face tightened as he looked at the snow-white lion who slowly stepped into the room from the door.
In this not-so-spacious room, if this beast that suddenly enters the room goes crazy, the people in this room will definitely die.
"Don't worry! Type Zero won't hurt anyone. On the contrary, it will be the key to letting Lord Tamae and Gudelia head to Edmonton first."
Lux opened her mouth to stop the young follower from moving, and told the whole story.
Gudelia, who had already seen the Lion Zero, naturally looked calm, but Shimiao unexpectedly looked unusually calm, and even laughed.
"Hahahaha! Is this the Lion-dono the Tekkadan gang of grown-up boys are talking about?"
After raising his hand to tell his followers to step back, Shi Miao stood up with his cane, and walked in front of the snow-white lion under Lux's gaze.
"Nice to meet you! Mr. Shishi. I am Shimeo Higashinosuke. Please give me your advice on the next journey."
Shimiao's show of goodwill did not receive a response from the snow-white lion.
Instead, the snow-white lion just glanced at Shimiao, then walked towards Lux and lay down not far behind him.
Zhimiao is not angry about this either.
"Hahahaha! It seems that Mr. Lion still has a bit of a temper. That's fine! Miss Lux Klein, I hope you won't take offense! Although I am a little old, I still like to see new and novel things."
"No. Don't worry, Lord Shimiao. Moreover, next, you and Gudelia will sit in the cockpit of the Zero, cross the ocean, and reach Edmonton first!"
