Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1304: Detour

"Did something happen with Lelouch?" Yang Hui frowned. Lelouch was Reyvil's disciple and was absolutely top-notch in the field of strategic command. There wouldn't be any problems. Although the Tessa Fleet that followed him to Kurkistan was a newly formed fleet, its members were all old members and there was no such thing as rookies. Everyone knew what they should do and there would be no internal conflicts. The only problem was that the ace force was a little less. Except for the [Mithril Team] including Sosuke Sagara and the [Zodiac Twelve] trained by Yang Hui himself, there was no top ace that could suppress the entire battlefield on its own, but this should be completely enough.

"On the one hand, we don't know what special things exist in Kurkistan. The Zanskar Empire, the mechanical beasts, the metal beasts, the invaders, and the unknown new enemies frequently launch attacks on Kurkistan. In just one month, there have been four large-scale simultaneous attacks, and the longest uninterrupted attack lasted for a week. In addition, a new enemy has been identified, an enemy called Mecha Armor. According to the information revealed by Brahma... the man that Lelouch temporarily received, there is a madman named [Hook Claw Man] with a group of people who are causing trouble all over the world, and Mecha Armor is [Hook Claw Man]'s subordinate."

"Gun and sword!" Yang Hui was stunned for a moment. Fan, mecha armor, [Hook Claw Man], if combined together, wouldn't it be a gun and a sword? That was indeed a madman who led a group of fooled people to become madmen.

However, if it is true as Cruze said, the situation in Kurkistan is indeed critical. No matter how strong the Promise Legion is, its members are all human beings. Humans will get tired. Good physical fitness can ensure that the body is not so tired, but the brain will be tired, and the heart will also be tired.

"What about the other aspect?" Yang Hui asked Cruz.

"Haha, you are really the only one who can help Lelouch with this matter." Cruze smiled meaningfully, which made Yang Hui stunned for a moment. No way... Then he thought about it and figured it out.

"Nunally and Yuffie?"

"Hmm." Cruze nodded with a smile that contained a bit of malice.

"Sigh..." Yang Hui held his forehead with his hand, feeling a headache. It was normal for siblings to quarrel and for couples to quarrel, but the grudges and hatred between Lelouch, Nunnally and Euphemia were really difficult to resolve. Oh, I'm talking about Lelouch, Nunnally and Euphemia in this world, especially Lelouch and Euphemia. This was a "joke" at the cost of their lives. Plus, Euphemia was also a newcomer who had just joined the Promise Legion and didn't have such a firm and strong heart.

"It's troublesome."

“It’s really troublesome.”

"I understand the situation. I would suggest that Captain Mitsuha go to the Photonic Power Research Institute to meet with Kabuto Koji first, and then go to Kurkistan. If Lelouch can't hold on, I will let Char, Amuro, and Camus go ahead to provide support."

"Don't move your forces." Cruze objected immediately. This was not his decision alone. "I have discussed this with Sumeragi, Onmyoji, Rebil, Flit, Garp, and Gil. Char, Amuro, Lara, and Camus must not move. This world still hides secrets that we don't know. Before everything is clear, you must have enough protection around you."

What Cruze said was a light word. According to everyone's original decision, not only could Char and the other three not be allowed to leave Yang Hui easily, they even planned to transfer five of the existing top aces to [Drestriga] to form a nine-man exclusive guard, because the sudden disappearance of Dujuantai really scared them.

However, the war situation in various parts of the world is urgent and it is difficult to transfer so many people. Important battlefields need people to keep watch to prevent the emergence of enemies that ordinary fleets cannot resist. Especially the [Knights]. The [Dawn series] that are not awakened do not have the ability to fight alone, so everyone cannot be easily transferred.

Rebil also suggested that Yang Hui stay away from Drestriga and away from the greatest danger, but Huang immediately objected because she knew Yang Hui and he would not leave Drestriga, at least not until he figured out what secrets existed on Drestriga.

"At present, the combat power of [Drestriga] is excessive." Yang Hui shook his head and said to Cruze, "Originally, I alone was enough. Char, Amuro, Camus and Lala are more suitable to be transferred to places where they are more needed..."

"Not enough." Cruze interrupted Yang Hui directly, "The combat power around you is never enough. You should be very clear about the disappearance of Dujuantai. If... that was a trap set by the Knight for you, what do you think the consequences would be?"

Why did the disappearance of Dujuantai scare Cruze and his team so much? Because they couldn't find any trace of Yang Hui after he disappeared! If, as Cruze said, this was a trap set by the Knights for Yang Hui, and they had arranged more than a dozen Knights or Knight-level combat forces at the location of his disappearance, what was Yang Hui's chance of survival?
"I'm not a weakling..."

"But there are always people better than you. Although we can't focus all our attention on you, your safety is always the top priority." Cruze said to Yang Hui seriously.

"Well, I can't argue with you guys."

"The Emperor and Rebil have been mobilizing their troops recently and preparing for two major battles. One is the battle to recover lost territory from the Zanskar Empire, and the other is the battle of Shen Gu Star against Ulugaru. As long as these two battles are successful, the Zanskar Empire will be forced back to their homeland, eliminating their threat to the Earth. Shen Gu Star is the outpost for Ulugaru's invasion of the Earth. The threat of Ulugaru cannot be completely eliminated, but it can be minimized."

"...I understand. If necessary, just pass the message to Mitsuha Greywallai. For now, she will faithfully carry out the orders from her superiors."

"The most important thing is to quickly uncover the secrets of Drestriga and AOS. Professor Elfman is planning to suspend his research on photon force and go to Drestriga." Cruze smiled jokingly.

"No, no, no need!" Yang Hui had a headache. Professor Eifman was so old, why did he still do what he wanted? Couldn't he give his students more trust? "Then you have to work hard. If the old men are really determined, we can't stop them." Cruze pursed his lips and spread his hands. This was a joke, but also a fact. Iolia Huchenberg from the Research Department, Professor Eifman and Mr. Wang, these three were the treasures of the Promise Corps. Anyone who met them had to be polite and dared not offend them.

"We've already gained something. Tell them not to be nervous."

"I'll tell you exactly what I said."

After discussing the serious matters, Yang Hui and Cruze did not waste too much of each other's time, especially Cruze. As the chief of intelligence, he was too busy. He came in person this time, on the one hand because of his fishing plan, and on the other hand because such a long time had passed, and he hoped to report the situation to Yang Hui in person.

Next, Cruze will naturally escort Xinzhuang Jian back to the federal army headquarters, but... Xinzhuang Jian's value does not lie in his smart mind, or the super AI technology in his brain, but... taking a detour.

"Sir." Seeing Xin Zhuangjian being escorted onto the plane, Cruze's adjutant ran to his side and whispered in his ear, "The intelligence has been leaked, and traces have been found all along the route."

"Haha, he took the bait so easily?" Cruze was a little surprised. Given the cautiousness of his opponent, he shouldn't have been able to hook him out so easily. "Let someone check again. Our opponent shouldn't be so easy to deal with."

"learn."

"By the way, is my machine debugged?" Cruze asked again as the adjutant turned to leave.

“Perfect condition.”

"very good."

……

On the other side, Yang Hui returned to [Drestriga] and happened to meet Sanye Greywalli who came to his door.

"Colonel Yang Hui, I would like to discuss with you Drei Kreuz's next course of action." Sanye Greywallai asked straight to the point without any idle chat.

"Captain Sanye, what do you think?" Yang Hui did not immediately state his choice, but first asked for Sanye Greywallis's advice.

"I suggest that we go to the Photon Force Research Institute. Currently, mechanical beasts are wreaking havoc all over the world. Kabuto Koji of the Photon Force Research Institute is not only a combat hero, but also one of the people who knows mechanical beasts best."

"Well, I support your suggestion, Captain Sanye." Yang Hui nodded with satisfaction. This idea coincided with Yang Hui's. Sanye Greywallai's overall view was also growing. If it were her at the beginning, she probably would not consider it from the perspective of the entire war, but focus on the task at hand and the troops around her.

"After that... I want to listen to Colonel Yang Hui's advice. DBD phenomena are happening all over the world, and the locations are too scattered. If it's just Drei Kreuz, we won't be able to get there in the first place. In addition, the Federation Army has also received many visitors from other worlds, so..."

"How about this, Captain Sanye, let Lian mark the DBD phenomena that occur around the world. I'll take a look and then plan a suitable route. It's unrealistic to investigate all the DBD phenomena. The ones we missed can be handed over to friendly forces." Yang Hui suggested. He did not directly propose to go to Kurkistan. Rebil would then convey it to Sanye Greywallai in the form of a formal order, so there was no need for him to do this.

"Thank you for your hard work, Colonel Yang Hui, but I have an idea... Can we contact friendly forces and send the visitors from another world to Drei Kreuz?" Sanye Greywallai asked.

"That's no problem. Except for those visitors from another world who have special arrangements, all can be transferred to Drei Kreuz. I will contact General Rebil directly about this matter."

Regarding the arrangement of visitors from another world, Yang Hui also thinks that they should be gathered together. Judging from the current SRX team, the five El members, and Ando Masaki, the people who can be selected by the DBD phenomenon and sent to this world are definitely not ordinary characters. So... will gathering them together trigger new reactions? In addition, Drei Kreuz was originally to help them find a way home, and in the process they will also become an effective fighting force for [Drestriga]. This is a win-win situation.
