Immortal Soul of Steel

Lin Youde looked at Durandal with a meaningful look.

Now Durandal did not pay attention to Lin Youde's gaze, but Lux noticed it, switching his eyes back and forth between Lin Youde and Durandal curiously and doubtfully.

‘Did Youde discover something else? ’

Knowing that Lin Youde's new human telepathy can sense other people's emotions, Lux felt that Lin Youde must have discovered something to have such strange eyes.

At this time, ZAFT soldiers were hurriedly reporting to Durandal.

"Yes, Speaker. Chaos Gundam, Gaia Gundam, and Abyss Gundam are currently causing trouble outside."

"It's very dangerous here. Please take refuge quickly, Speaker."

Durandal waved: "It doesn't matter to me. The safety of Miss Lux and Prince Kira is the first priority."

"Immediately arrange for Prince Kira and Miss Lux to take refuge."

At Durandal's order, a dozen soldiers came to Lin Youde and Lux.

"Miss Lux, Prince Kira, please go this way."

Lin Youde did not refuse, but he did not refuse directly either. Instead, he asked Durandal for it.

"Speaker Durandal, can you help us arrange a highly mobile mobile suit?"

Durandal looked at Lin Youde in shock, and Lin Youde replied calmly.

"In this situation, it is too dangerous to simply evacuate from the ground."

"Instead of running, it's better to use MS to evacuate."

Before Durandal could reply, the ZAFT soldiers on the side returned.

"No, if we send out MSs to evacuate at this time, we will become the target of the three Gundams."

Lin Youde had a cold face and remained unmoved.

"Not always."

"What?"

Amidst the stunned expressions of the ZAFT soldiers and Durandal, Lin Youde calmly replied.

"Perhaps the performance of your newly built new machine far exceeds that of conventional mass-produced machines."

"But it's not just the performance of the machine that determines the outcome of the battle."

"As long as the difference is not worse than two generations, the performance of the machine will not be the key to victory or defeat!"

Lin Youde's calm and composed attitude stunned the ZAFT soldier who had just spoken.

However, Durandal reacted quickly and stopped other ZAFT soldiers who wanted to speak with one hand and said.

"Prince Kira is the ace pilot who created the legend in the last war."

"We can't pretend we didn't hear what he said."

"Arrange a highly mobile mobile suit for Prince Kira."

At the same time, Durandal warned Lin Youde solemnly.

"Prince Kira, please take Miss Lux and retreat immediately after you get the machine."

"We would rather lose three new machines than let Miss Lux suffer a hair!"

When the other soldiers heard this, they also responded loudly.

"Defend Miss Lux to the death!!!"

The ZAFT soldiers shouted in unison, making Lin Youde nodded and replied.

"Don't worry, I can tell the difference between what's important and what's important!"

As he said this, Lin Youde also murmured in his heart.

‘Sure enough, the treatment of different people involved in the plot is completely different. ’

‘At this time in the original book, Aslan and Cagalli seemed to have just been asked to take refuge. ’

‘There are no requests or anything like that. There seemed to be only one person responsible for taking the two people away, and there was no so-called escort at all. ’

‘It’s hard to say that Durandal, an old fox, doesn’t have the intention of wanting Cagalli, the Orb leader, to die directly in this commotion. ’

‘In fact, in the original work, if Aslan hadn’t been so eager to protect his wife, he would have fought to protect Cagalli. I'm afraid that Cagalli has already burst into tears as soon as the second season of the animation opens. ’

‘But it’s different here now. A dozen ZAFT soldiers with loaded weapons obviously really want to protect Lux and me. ’

‘It seems that Durandal has not made any plans to let Lux and I die here. ’

While feeling so emotional, Lin Youde also took Lux's hand and left with the escorting ZAFT soldiers.

When leaving, Lin Youde and Lux ​​nodded to Durandal.

After watching the two people leave, Durandal breathed a sigh of relief and continued down the road.

"Stop them at all costs."

"Order the Minerva to provide support..."

As they gradually moved away, Lin Youde and Lacus could no longer hear Durandal's voice.

Lux followed Lin Youde and asked softly: "What should we do next?"

As Lin Youde ran, he said to Lux: "Adapt accordingly. When you get the machine body, leave it to me."

"Don't worry, my mission now is to protect you..."

"We'll talk about the rest later."

Hearing this, Lux felt warm in her heart and let out a sweet hum.

Led by a dozen ZAFT soldiers, Lin Youde and Lux ​​quickly arrived at a warehouse not far away.

In this warehouse, there are several MSs that have not been started yet.

ZAFT soldier: "Prince Kira, the units here are all spare MSs. The preparations have been completed, but they are all Zaku Warriors for land combat."

"All the high-mobility aircraft have been dispatched. I'm sorry, we... Wow~!"

A violent explosion exploded outside the warehouse, causing everyone to fall to the ground in all directions.

Lin Youde held Lacus and walked to a green Zaku Warrior.

"We don't have time to worry about it so much. It doesn't matter if it's a land combat machine. As long as it's a mobile suit, there will always be a way."

Lin Youde carried Lux ​​onto the Zaku, and the others ran to other machines, apparently planning to attack together.

Jumping into the cockpit of the Zaku Warriors, Lin Youde fastened his seat belt and said to Lux who was holding the cockpit seat behind him.

"Lux, please be patient, this battle will be over soon."

Lux nodded, squatted behind the seat obediently, and asked in a low voice.

"Youde, did you expect this kind of scene?"

Lin Youde quickly pulled out the keyboard to adjust the OS of the Zaku Warrior, and replied in a multitasking manner.

"That's right. After all, Gundam snatching operations are a tradition of the Gundam series."

"Although that's just a joke, I have said before that there are only a few things that can trigger events when coming to P.L.A.N.T. this time."

"Nothing happened when we came, and nothing happened at Aslan and Cagalli's children's full-moon banquet. The only time left is to come and visit the launching ceremony of the new ship."

"Originally, I thought that those who attacked might attack the new type of ship, but I didn't expect that ZAFT actually prepared a new type of Gundam."

“Although it’s a bit surprising that the attack on a new type of ship turned into a Gundam snatching operation, it makes sense.”

"I have made plans for this kind of occasion before."

"My original plan was to have Durandal bring the Freedom Gundam over, and I would fly the Freedom Gundam with you there, using the excuse of publicity to ensure our safety."

"Unexpectedly, before I even raised my request, the attacker over there had already taken action."

“Plans have outgrown changes, and now we have to improvise.”
