Gundam: The wind blowing through the universe

"There will be an air battle later. The two guys who can't fly, Xunlei and Xigu, should go to the Archangel."

In the dock of the Dawn Society, the Archangel was the first warship to set off. The attack had been gathered into the Gnaku. Siegfried was left making the final arrangements for Regret and Jiang Kelly.

Originally, from the perspective of team deployment, Thunder should go to the Kusanagi, but Regret insisted on staying on the Archangel. Siegfried, who knew what he was thinking, just patted his reliable comrade. After communicating with Zisaka, Obu agreed with his opinion.

"This is the CIC broadcast of the Archangel. Repeat, this is the CIC broadcast of the Archangel. Siegfried and Kira, please listen to me. If you dare to disappear again this time, I will definitely be angry, Thor. Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Captain Lamias."

As a result, before he was halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Mili's spontaneous broadcast by taking advantage of the convenience of her CIC post. Probably Malu reacted, and the next second Mili was cut off from the signal, leaving Siegfried smiled helplessly.

In fact, after coming to Orb from the Archangel, Siegfried keenly discovered a problem. As Kira's old classmates, Milly and the others, for some reason, felt a strange sense of distance from Kira who had returned from PLANT. Compared to him, who later For readers, it is clear that they should be closer to Kira, but the fact is that both Millie and Thor are more willing to chat with Siegfried, as if the person who came back is not Kira.

"It's true Milly, Thor can't control her anymore. Where did you just say that?" After a pause, Siegfried's thoughts became fragmented. After thinking for a while, he continued, "The Archangel will Use the positron cannon to open the channel, first you, then the Kusanagi, Kira and I will be the queens and finally go up to the universe with the Kusanagi, are there any questions?"

"No problem, see you in the universe!"

"See you in the universe!"

As former ZAFT and former coalition soldiers, they had seen too many life-and-death farewells, so naturally they would not be coy about such an occasion. As both pilots, they knew that the last thing to do was to let Siegfried's psychology fluctuate at this time. This kind of thing has always been a near-death mission. Kira's freedom is still nuclear power to some extent. If he wants to escape smoothly with Yanhong's ability to attack, it can only be said that half of it depends on Siegfried's mentality and ability, and the other half can only depend on whether God is appreciative of it. It’s time to eat.

"correct."

The Archangel has made final preparations and is constantly broadcasting requests for its personnel to return to the ship immediately. Siegfried looked at Regret's back and hesitated for a moment. He wanted to say something but only started to stop there. .

"Don't even think about it!"

As a result, Regret seemed to have predicted this outcome and blocked Siegfried's plan by speaking in advance. Not only that, he even quickened his pace and quickly opened the distance between the two.

"Hey, I haven't said anything yet, hey! Uncle Regret!"

"I knew it even if you didn't tell me, so I'm telling you not to even think about it."

"If I don't come back smoothly, someone should tell Hilde."

"Say it yourself, or let your princess say it, or let Miri say it. Anyway, I won't say it. I love whoever I love."

"I still have your suicide note, don't force me to recite poems in public!"

Looking at Siegfried who was uttering incoherent threats but with a serious expression on his face, Regret wanted to refuse this 'unlucky' mission, but after moving his mouth, he finally chose to wave back. He waved his hand.

After all personnel had boarded the ship, the bow of the Archangel was raised high after takeoff. Along with Lohengrin's roar, the red positron stream drew brilliant traces in the air, followed by the ignition of the auxiliary thrusters on both sides. This ill-fated battleship slowly left this land that had been devastated by war.

In the end, Siegfried did not wait for Aslan and his Justice Gundam. The entire Orb was busy with the evacuation work. Faced with the chaotic battlefield signals, no one had the time to identify whether an unknown mobile suit had appeared. In Orb's airspace. But regardless of whether the Justice Gundam has been here or not, the fact that is now on the surface is that the only two MSs behind the scenes are the Yanhong Strike and the Freedom.

In the Yanhong Assault, Siegfried kicked Harrow into the cockpit, and then glanced at the Kusanagi not far away. At this time, Cagalli should be walking towards here under the escort of Uzumi. , after thinking about it, he jumped into the cockpit and closed the door.

"Aren't you going to see Cagalli?"

While Siegfried was immersed in debugging the final air combat parameters, Erica's profile picture appeared on the screen. She was still aboard the Kusanagi and decided that she could not just sit back and ignore the emotional problems between the two 'children'.

"What can I say? I can't change Uzmi's mind, and I can't save her country. I can't even save that ordinary family. What can I say? Say Cagalli, don't cry. Next With me? What happens after that? After she watched her father die for her country, what else can I say?"

"But your presence is what gives her the courage to persevere. Why don't you even understand this!"

"My existence is to protect you from going to the universe safely. If I can't even do this, everything else is empty talk and the most incompetent lie."

"Then you too"

"I'm sorry, Director Erica, I'm going to prepare to attack."

The communication was turned off smoothly, but Siegfried still subconsciously pointed the camera at the position of the Kusanagi. At this time, Cagalli had just been handed over to Chisaka by Uzumi. In her desperate cry, As a father, Uzumi finally handed her something in the form of a photo, and then closed the Kusanagi's hatch with his own hands.

‘Have you told her Kira’s identity? After all, it’s always good to have insurance. ’

I don't know if he sensed Siegfried's gaze, but Uzmi's eyes also found Yanhong Qiang. At the last moment of his life, the Orb lion nodded slightly in Siegfried's direction.

"Speaking? Hello, amplify the voice collection."

"Hello, I understand." After a burst of noisy electronic sounds, what came to Siegfried's ears was Uzmi's voice that had been analyzed by the system.

"Cagalli is asking you to be a hero, Siegfried."

"Confirm that all personnel have been evacuated, the automatic system is activated, and the Kusanagi's liftoff procedure is started. May God Haumea bless you."

The voice on the radio has completely evoked Siegfried's memory. After connecting to the communication of Freedom Gundam, looking at Kira's serious expression, Siegfried just nodded to him, and then Yanhong attacked the first one. Got out.

‘Should I sing a song called The Chariot of Dawn to suit the occasion? Forget it, I am tone deaf and can still hum in my heart. ’

It was obviously a life-and-death situation, but Siegfried's heart was extremely peaceful. Carrying Hilde's expectation to return home and Cagalli's wish to protect the motherland, he had doubts about himself for the first time, 'Then, What do I want? ’

The repaired Calamity stepped on the back of the plunder and was already in front of him. Siegfried's pupils directly entered the SEED state. Yanhong attacked sideways and avoided the long-range beam cannon, and then the rail gun fired continuously and bombarded Calamity. on the body.

‘Aren’t you going to hide? Do you really want a mass accelerator? ’

After seeing that Calamity and Plunder could not dodge or dodge live ammunition, Siegfried drew out his ship-cutting knife. In order to obtain maximum mobility in air combat, he did not mount a shield from the beginning. After firing continuously with his beam rifle, Start looking for opportunities for close combat.

"Hello, high energy reaction."

The Forbidden City jumped out from under the water, induced the plasma cannon to draw an arc, perfectly bypassed his teammates, and attacked Yan Hong.

The Freedom Gundam that appeared behind him raised its shield and blocked the attack for him. Then the shoulder plasma cluster beam cannon fired at Plunder in an attempt to knock Calamity off its back and into the sea, but Shani had already predicted Kira's movements. , the forbidden block stands in front of freedom, deflecting the light of freedom.

"Kira, try to keep your back to the mass accelerator, they don't dare attack that."

On the battlefield, Siegfried only believed in the principle of "making the best use of everything". Knowing that what Azleru wanted most was the Dawn Society and the Mass Accelerator, he naturally chose to use this thing as his amulet.

"Oluga, don't break that thing, or you will suffer again when you go back."

Seeing that Calamity on his back was still muddle-headedly smashing the Kraken monster against the mobile suit on the opposite side, Claude didn't want to be unlucky with such a retard, so he changed the flight path left and right in order to prevent Calamity from facing the mass accelerator.

The core components of the Kusanagi were accelerating from a distance. The three Xiaoqiang were helpless and did not dare to let the attack fall on the huge accelerator. Instead, the Yanhong Strike and the flexible attacks of the Freedom Gundam kept making them frustrated.

"Die!"

Forbidden City seized a rare fighter opportunity and took advantage of Yanhong's attack to dodge slightly away from the accelerator, inducing the plasma cannon to deflect the accelerator and move towards this 'nasty machine'. ’

At this time, the Kusanagi had already arrived beside everyone. The Freedom Gundam was the first to grab the outside, and then stretched out its hand towards Yan Hong. However, if Siegfried chose to grab the freedom, he would be hit by a forbidden hit.

In the SEED state, Siegfried's sixth sense was extremely sharp. The moment before the forbidden attack hit him, the IWSP backpack separated. Then, using its own inertia and the thrust of the airflow after the backpack exploded, Yanhong attacked and grabbed it. The hand holding the Freedom Gundam climbed onto the outer wall of the Kusanagi at the last moment.

The next second, the Freedom Gundam fired a salvo of weapons, causing huge waves on the sea to block the attack of the three small forces. The Kusanagi also completely left the mass accelerator and rushed into the blue sky.

Just as Azleru was confidently preparing to land on Obben Island, the violent explosions from Dawn Society and Kaguya caused the entire coalition to stop attacking.

"Neither Orb nor the world will be at your mercy!"

Standing in the blazing fire, Uzumi looked at the back of the Kusanagi in the sky and let out the last roar of a lion. Siegfried in the Yanhong Assault looked at the huge fire, but his mind kept churning with the memory card. Carrie's desperate cry.

'Time passes slowly, and the two people passing by are so close yet so far away. ’

In fact, it's not that Siegfried has low emotional intelligence. Uzmi was still putting pressure on him until the last moment. Under constant PUA, he could no longer face Cagalli who had lost her father and country, so he could only choose to fight to escape.

The last sentence is an amalgamation of the titles of the two previous volumes, and runs through Siegfried's helplessness.

The Orb chapter is over. This chapter and the next two chapters are all bad for me.
