Chapter 324 Set sail again (big update for Hong Ci!)

Half a month passed quietly, and everyone was busy and couldn't get away.

"It's finally fixed."

"Well, it's time for us to leave Orb."

Ma Liu and Baji Lulu were a little reluctant to let go. They and Yang Hui... had established a relationship, but now they had to separate.

During the half month in Aub, Yang Hui brought them a completely different feeling, peaceful, relaxed, plain but warm and happy. If you are a weak-willed person, you may have been intoxicated by it, right?

But they can't. They are soldiers and have unfinished duties, so they must leave.

They are also very afraid of their relationship with Yang Hui, afraid of sinking, afraid of forgetting their identity and their responsibilities, so they must separate from Yang Hui.

"What Yang Hui said...what do you think?" Ma Liu asked Bucky Lulu.

"……I have no idea."

"Puch~"

"Laughing...what are you laughing at?"

"No, I just think you have changed too, Natal." Ma Liu chuckled, feeling very happy. She and Bucky Lulu had always had ideological conflicts, and the relationship between the two parties was not very good. But Yang Hui, as the link between the two, connects them together.

Not only that, Bucky Lulu was indeed changed by Yang Hui. If it were before, Bucky Lulu would have answered without hesitation, "That's nonsense, obeying orders is a soldier's bounden duty!"

But now she is hesitant and confused, which shows that the firm belief that Baji Lulu has developed since childhood has been shaken.

"Aren't you the same?" Bucky Lulu's pretty face turned red and she asked Ma Liu softly.

Ma Liu was stunned for a moment, and her face also turned rosy.

"Yes, isn't he just such a person?" Ma Liu sighed with emotion.

Most people may not be able to see the change in Malu, but Baki Lulu can. Maliu is another kind of soldier in the traditional sense. Although it is completely different from Baki Lulu's iron-blooded style, in the face of orders from high-level officials, , she may doubt, may argue, but she will definitely implement it.

But now, she was confused, even more shaken than Bucky Lulu.

If after arriving at the Alaska base, the military superiors issued an order to disperse them, Bucky Lulu might just be in a dilemma, and Ma Liu would probably do what Yang Hui said and stay on the Archangel, and even ask others to come along. Leave.

"Beep beep beep..."

"it's me."

"Captain, the departure procedures are ready. Please come to the bridge."

"Understood, coming right away."

After finishing the communication, Ma Liu and Baji Lulu looked at each other and sighed in unison. Yang Hui's words lingered in their hearts and could not be dissipated, but they were about to be separated. Maybe this separation was an eternal farewell, and they could only hide it in their hearts. Deep down in your heart, do what you need to do in front of you.

As for what the future holds... let’s talk about it then.

When they arrived at the bridge, everyone had already taken their seats and looked at them. Arnold and others had a bit of reluctance and emotion in their eyes. Who doesn't like peaceful days?

The reluctance in the eyes of Mirialia, Sai and others is even stronger, because Orb is their motherland. If possible, who would want to leave the motherland and become a soldier of another country?

Mariu and Bakiluru looked out the window through the glass of the bridge. Next to the Archangel, Uzumi came, Cagalli came, Yamato and his wife came too, as well as Thor and Miriali. Ya, Sai, and Kaz's parents all came, but they didn't see the figure who was thinking about them.

Ma Liu and Baji Lulu were silent. They hoped that Yang Hui would come to say goodbye, but they didn't want him to say goodbye. But when they saw his absence, they couldn't help but feel disappointed and sad.

"Is he disappointed in us?"

"Maybe, but...it doesn't matter anymore."

"...The sailing procedure begins!"

"Understood, the sailing procedure begins and water injection begins!"

…

Cagalli looked at the Archangel that was about to leave, clenching her teeth and clenching her fists into fists.

Originally, Cagalli wanted to leave with the Archangel, even packing her luggage, but Uzumi stopped her.

"Do you want to go with that ship?"

"yes."

"Then you want to fight PLANT as the Earth Army? Do you really want to fight?"

"No! I don't want to fight!"

"Why is that?"

"I want to help them! I want to end the war as soon as possible!"

"If you go to the war, will the war end?"

"……But……"

"If you kill someone else's husband, his wife will hate you. If you kill someone else's child, his mother will hate you. If you are in the hands of someone else... I will hate him to the bone too. It's that simple. Why don’t you understand?”

"Of course I know! But I don't want to be the only one living in Orb so comfortably..."

"What can you do with your superficial and self-righteous sense of justice!?"

"..."

"Fighting does not only mean carrying a gun, nor does Orb's peace mean ease. Didn't Yang Hui tell you already?"

"Father..."

Cagalli understands all these principles, but she just doesn't want to admit it because she feels that she is too weak and can't find any other way to fight except carrying a gun.

"Where's Yang Hui? Why didn't you see him?" Cagalli shook her head to drive away distracting thoughts. She looked around and found that the person who should come to say goodbye to the Archangel did not come. If Cagalli was just thinking If he wanted to help the Archangel, Yang Hui had sailed a long distance with the Archangel, and the bond between them was beyond what Cagalli could compare to.

Not to mention, there are two women on the Archangel who like him.

"He's where he's supposed to be."

"Tch, cold-blooded."

Hearing this, Uzmi sighed, knowing that Cagalli was just venting her anger and had no ill intentions towards Yang Hui, but just this little detail could tell how big the gap existed between Cagalli and Yang Hui.

"Forget it, you should just be a princess, Cagalli."

At this moment, Uzmi finally made up his mind, leaving him constantly torn between emotion and reason, and made a decision.

…

"The Orb Army sent a notice. No ship was found in the surrounding area. We will set off as scheduled."

"Tell them you got it."

Some people were surprised that Orb actually sent a convoy to send them away, using the number of battleships to confuse the ZAFT army, making everyone feel more grateful to Orb.

Of course, this was just the beginning. After the Archangel sailed out of the dock, radar control became tense.

"The radar reacted! Heat source comparison, MS4!"

"What!?"

"How is that possible!? This is still within Orb territory!"

Everyone thought that the four MSs that came quickly were Duel, Storm, Thunder, and Holy Shield. They were also shocked by their determination, and they actually dared to rush into Orb territory to attack them at the risk of danger.

But soon, it was discovered that it was not.

"Comparison of the database... They are four unknown MSs in the Eighth Fleet battle!"

"What!?"

Not an enemy, but it shocked everyone even more.

The intelligence of the [Celestial Being] mercenary organization has always been an unsolved mystery of the major forces. The major forces have also been trying every means to get in touch with the [Celestial Being], trying to recruit them, or even destroy them, but there has been no result. .

And all the forces are speculating that Orb is behind [Celestial Being].

Orb never admitted it, so the speculation remained speculation.

And now, four machines appeared from the territory of Orb, and under the shocked eyes of everyone, they guarded the left and right sides of the Archangel together with the escort fleet. Doesn't this directly acknowledge the relationship between [Celestial Being] and Orb?

"Yang Hui! You..."

Malu and Baji Lulu were lost in thought. The emotions they had finally suppressed burst out in an instant, and their empty hearts were filled with emotion and sweetness.

This is telling them with actions that he has not disappointed them and will still protect them.

"captain."

"Sail!"

"Understood!" XN

…

In the dock, Cagalli stared blankly at the scene where the Dawn Gundam, Archangel, Cherubian and De Angel suddenly appeared, guarding the Archangel, and her brain lost the ability to think.

"He's where he's supposed to be."

These words echoed in my mind, like the deafening sound of a bell ringing so close at hand.

"This damn bastard!"

Cagalli was upset again because she was not told this kind of thing in advance!

"Let's go, Cagalli."

"Where to go?"

"The General Command Room of the Ministry of National Defense."

Seeing the seriousness on Uzmi's face, Cagalli didn't dare to be willful and followed Uzmi obediently. She had a feeling that there would be more surprises, no, shocks waiting for her.

Arriving at the general command room of the Ministry of National Defense, Cagalli was once again dumbfounded. The command room was crowded with people, and everyone was working hard, turning into precise gears that rotated at high speed, driving the huge machine of the Orb Army.

The person responsible for commanding them is a person Cagalli has never thought of, let alone dared to think of.

"Emperor!"

That's right, the person in charge of the command is none other than Huang, who grew up with Cagalli and is a good friend who she thinks she knows very well.

When the emperor saw Uzumi and Cagalli arriving, he did not welcome them. He just nodded and then continued to return to his intense work.

"Has the drone reconnaissance produced any results?"

"Outside Orb's territorial waters, the ZAFT submarine fleet was discovered, located at coordinates (021,023), (031,876), (901,010), and (755,890)."

"Is there any trace of MS troops?"

"not found!"

"Correct the route, adopt Plan B, and immediately send the revised route to the escort fleet and the Archangel."

"learn!"

"Telegraphed the four machines of Daybreak, Energizer, Cherubian and De Angel, and the scheduled plan will directly enter the B2 stage."

"learn!"

At this time, Wang Liumei connected the communication with Huang.

"How is the situation?" Huang asked Wang Liumei directly without greetings or greetings.

"The deal is concluded, and Orb's territorial waters will be extended by ten kilometers."

"Very good! The first and second fleets set sail to implement planned plan C1."

"Understood! The first and second fleets will set sail immediately and go to the designated positions to stand by. Repeat that. The first and second fleets will set sail and go to the designated positions to stand by."

"The Third and Fourth Fleets are ready to sail, the First and Second Aviation Groups are on standby, and the First MS Strike Group is on standby."

"A press conference will be held in 5 minutes to announce to the world the news of Orb's territorial waters expansion!"

"learn!"

"Very good, [Stage Combat] begins!"

"Understood!" XN

Completed, working hard to code, come on!
