Especially for people who have just stayed up late and fell asleep soon, this is an extremely bad thing.
The piercing enemy attack alarm instantly detonated the silence of the ruling throne, and those who had just woken up, or who had not yet woken up, or who had not returned to their rooms to rest after their shift was over, suddenly became excited, and swarmed towards their stations.
Run away.
"How's it going?"
Lei Mingkai and Teresa stepped into the command center one after another.
"The peripheral warning drones discovered that a considerable number of BETA fleets appeared in the surrounding space and are heading here."
In the main console of the command center, Wei Erweian and Sharon stood there, watching the data changes on the main screen.
"Then I'm ready to attack!"
Lei Mingkai turned around and left without thinking.
But before he had gone far, he bumped into Aiseiram who had just stepped out of the elevator.
"Princess Iseilam, I'm sorry!"
Lei Mingkai grabbed Aiseiram.
"I'm fine! Thank you, Your Highness. Besides, Your Highness does not need to attack this time!"
Aiseiram shook his head and said with a little red cheeks.
"No need to attack?"
"Well, Vilvienne, right?"
Aeseilam looked at Wilvia.
The latter nodded.
"Yes. After this period of hard work, GHOST has formed a scale. There are over a hundred GHOSTs that have entered official combat order."
Sharon next to her also added.
"In addition, after going offline and entering a sealed state, there are more GHOSTs that can be awakened for combat at any time than those that enter the official combat sequence."
In this way, there is no need for Lei Mingkai or even others to attack this time.
"Although it's a bit sudden, this is also a test. Isn't it?"
"That's right! Let them be the audience for once!"
Driven by catapults, each GHOST slid into the void, formed an attack formation in a squadron-level formation, and headed straight for the incoming BETA fleet.
In an instant, bright balls of light bloomed between the first and second warning circles of the domination throne.
Looking at the beautiful but deadly light balls, Lei Mingkai suddenly remembered the scene in the later part of the plot of Macross F, where the F fleet used reactive bombs as regular ammunition to pour towards the enemy.
Today, the same is true for the Throne of Dominance, which has successfully mass-produced Freyja.
"It seems that the BETA fleet of this size can no longer pose a threat to the throne of domination."
Lei Mingkai raised his eyes and looked at the number of BETAs scanned by the radar. There were over 10,000 BETAs, large and small, in various forms, but they were so helpless in front of GHOST, which only had about fifty sorties.
"This is inevitable. Otherwise, our efforts during this period will be in vain. Isn't it?"
Sharon showed a proud smile.
As the core AI of the Dominion Throne, Wilvia and Sharon have indeed spent a lot of effort to plan the important position of the Dominion Throne in the Earth-Moon Circle strategy of the Britalia Empire.
"There is a new situation. It seems that it is not our side that suffered the BETA attack, but combat reactions in other places."
Wei Er slightly raised his hand and put the intercepted information one by one on the main screen.
There was an attack on Ptolemy,
There is an attack on PLANT,
There are also scenes of different but unfamiliar colonial satellites from around them constantly asking for help from the outside world after being attacked.
For the former two, Lei Mingkai was not worried about their safety, but for the latter, Lei Mingkai frowned.
"These colonial satellites have not been seen on the star maps around the Dominion Throne before. Are they new?"
Wei Er nodded slightly.
"Indeed. When you went to the moon, there were several unusual force field changes. And these colonial satellites happened to appear after these force field changes ended."
"Speciality?"
Apart from this, Lei Mingkai could not think of any other possibility.
There is only one way to verify these possibilities.
"It seems that I still have to attack! Wei An, Sharon, please help me prepare the spaceship!"
"Wait a minute. I have to prepare for an attack as well!"
Theresa took a step forward and called out to Lei Mingkai.
"It would be great if the Sons of Danu could attack. But now, aren't the Sons of Danu still under maintenance?"
Faced with the fact that the outer armor of the Sons of Danu had been dismantled for internal maintenance, Teresa finally sighed silently.
"What's more, this time it's just investigation!"
For the time being, we put aside Lei Mingkai's preparations to attack and head to the unfamiliar colonial satellite, and shifted his attention to PLANT.
A car driving out of the commercial street was speeding on the ring road.
As the surrounding scenery continued to recede, the car quickly merged with another convoy coming from other directions and became a member of this convoy.
At the same time, Mayu, who was sitting in the back compartment, also received communications from the motorcade.
"Mayu. Is it really okay?"
It's Lux's communication.
Looking at Lux who looked a little worried, Mayu smiled confidently.
"No problem. It's not my first time with those monsters. Oh, yes, my brother seems to call them BETA, right?"
"Yes. What appeared near PLANT was the BETA in the cosmic form. You have only fought against the BETA in the land form before, right?"
Mayu's information has very detailed records in the database of the snake surrounding the atrium.
Lux, who had carefully reviewed the information, was naturally very aware of the dilemma Mayu faced.
"Well, that's true. But this time, I have to take action! Otherwise, it won't make sense to the Speaker."
As ZAFT's red-clad elites, they cannot always use the excuse of protecting Lux to evade their due responsibilities.
Moreover, today's mission is not just as simple as attacking.
The intelligence coming from the eyeliner shows that today it seems that exactly two new airframes have completed the testing work required to roll off the production line and entered the actual combat testing stage.
In a sense, these incoming BETAs are much better than targets that only move according to established procedures.
"Okay! Please be careful!"
Seeing Mayu's firm attitude, Lux no longer insisted.
But after the communication was disconnected, Lux fell into thinking.
"Miss Lux, please don't worry about Miss Mayo! She is also a being with SEED after all."
"SEED?"
Lux naturally knows the secret of SEED.
"Jormungandr, do you think the speaker will discover Mayo's secret?"
Jormungandr, who was sitting opposite, shook his head.
"Probably not. Regarding Miss Mayu's matter, we have already properly handled it. I'm afraid this will be a test from the Speaker."
"Test?"
Lux's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Did they discover our existence? Or is it just a test?"
"Maybe it's the latter. Maybe it's just testing the potential of the name Asuka."
"Asuka?"
At Jormungandr's reminder, Lux thought of the young pilot on the Minerva.
It seemed that a long time ago, she and Lei Mingkai had met the young pilot among the Orbs.
"True Asuka. During the joint attack on Orb, I once moved the Asuka family to safety in Scandinavia under the orders of the Lord. After that, True Asuka also followed the snake surrounding the atrium.
The arrangement came to PLANT and became a part of ZAFT.”
"Really? Is this also one of the backup plans you arranged for Jormungandr?"
"Just be prepared! Miss Lux."
Jormungandr talked about his various arrangements with a very calm expression, as if he was talking about trivial things.
But Lacus didn't dare to underestimate these arrangements.
Now it seems that Jormungandr's arrangement is indeed one step ahead of the speaker.
"It seems that the Speaker wants to observe Mayu's performance and even use it to stimulate Asuka's potential?!"
"It's very possible. After all, we haven't concealed Mayu's name as a "flying bird" at all. This situation is also one of the situations we imagined."
For the citizens of PLANT, it was a common sight for the air raid sirens to ring in the sky. The convoy of Lux, Mayu and Jormungandr quickly drove off the ring road and turned onto a road heading to the factory area.
Not long after, after going through many checkpoints, Lux and others arrived at the central area of the factory area.
"Lord Lux, Miss Mayu, please come with me! The Speaker has been waiting in the Gnaku for a long time."
Under the leadership of the personnel arranged by Durandal in advance, Lux and others walked around and came to a brightly lit Gnaku.
"Welcome everyone! Miss Lux, thank you for your hard work!"
As soon as Durandal, who was surrounded by everyone, saw the arrival of Lux and others, he immediately stepped forward to say hello.
"No, Speaker, you are exaggerating. This is what I should do. What's more, I also want to see that strange country in person."
Lux returned the greeting reservedly.
"It seems that Miss Lux has gained a lot in the Britannian Empire! But this is not the time! We have more important things to do."
Durandal nodded, and then turned his gaze to Mayu, who was standing behind Lux.
"Is this Mayu-Asuka?"
"Yes! Speaker Durandal! I am Mayu Asuka."
Mayu stepped forward to salute and responded to Durandal loudly.
"Well. Very good! Then, I am very confident about the next action!"
Durandal nodded approvingly.
"Mayu, that is your next mission! Drive it, wipe out the enemy, and then bring back the actual combat data. Can you do it?"
Under the light, two dark giants with the same appearance and the same outline were standing there quietly, as if waiting for the destined person who could awaken their existence.
"That's the body that belongs to you, Mayu."
"Its name, no, their name, is destiny."
"As you can see, they are the same, like twins. The only difference is that their control systems are specially optimized for the driver's habits."
"Mayu Asuka. Although you haven't participated in many battles, many people within ZAFT speak highly of you. Therefore, this Destiny Gundam is yours! I hope you are as good as we think you are.
I hope that in this way, I can become the guardian who defends PLANT and resists the enemy!" (To be continued)
