Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 624: Bird Catching (I)

Everyone has a most vulnerable side in their heart. The only difference is that some people hide it well, while others expose it. Siegfried is always a practitioner of the first type.

His arrogance and sharp tongue would make strangers find it very difficult to get along with him, but just like Aslan now, once you get familiar with him, you will find that after peeling off the hero's shell, Siegfried is, after all, just a boy younger than him.

Therefore, when Aslan saw Siegfried at his most helpless moment, which was extremely rare, he instinctively felt angry. This anger had previously existed when Yitzhak blew himself up.

It was precisely because of this anger that when the explosion came, Aslan pressed Siegfried and Stella under him regardless of the consequences.

Perhaps, there really is a god of destiny in this world, and Aslan's will of self-sacrifice was somehow responded to by Siegfried. The spiritual skeleton on the Dawn Phoenix sensed the brain quantum waves of the two, so the golden phoenix broke through the constraints of time and space and successfully came to them.

"This is."

Since Hilde had only completed the construction of the main body, the Phoenix now did not carry any weapons. It only had two sides of the armed armor DE installed with real furnaces and long tail balance wings. Like two nimble little birds, they firmly blocked the shock wave of the explosion for the trio.

"Captain Ramias, this machine..."

"There was no response from the radar. It was like it appeared out of thin air above your heads. However, the aircraft identification number is still ORB-01. It should be the successor model of the Dawn."

The explosion happened very suddenly, but the reaction of the People's Revolutionary League garrison was equally quick. At the same time Aslan called the mothership, three Yashimas came flying from a distance in a reconnaissance formation. After the war, Anksha's equipment replacement plan was also affected by funding, so the air supremacy in South America is still based on the inexpensive pumpkin pie.

"There's no response from Aslan's Dawn. The situation seems a little strange. Shin Asuka and Mu have already set out to support you. Be careful."

Even though her professionalism is not as good as Bakirolu's, Marlu is a former United Army officer after all. Logically speaking, the Dawn is Orb's support aircraft. No matter what kind of black technology it uses, it should not ignore Ptolemy's call.

Judging from the movement trajectory of the Armored Armor DE, the driver should not be in a coma, so Maru immediately noticed the abnormality and immediately teamed up the 1.5 Gundam and the Regeneration Gundam to attack. Mu's experience plus the momentum of the bird are enough to deal with most emergencies.

"Meiling, keep calling the Dawn pilot. We must figure out what went wrong."

Before Meiling could carry out her captain's order, the situation on Aslan's side changed again. The cockpit of Dawn Phoenix slowly opened in mid-air. With the help of the observation device on his tactical suit, Aslan was surprised to find that there was no one in the cockpit.

"There's something wrong with that machine! Captain, immediately order the Revolutionary Alliance to stop the operation. There's something wrong with the Dawn!"

Before he finished speaking, the GN particles emitted from the solar furnace produced a strange resonance with Siegfried's body. Phoenix stretched out his hand towards the ground as if he had a mind of his own. Then Siegfried, who had completely lost consciousness, used the anti-gravity properties of the GN particles to slowly float into the air and finally entered the cockpit.

As the hatch closed, Aslan was certain that some unknown changes had taken place inside the MS. Its originally mechanized movements had become extremely agile after absorbing Siegfried's body, and it even made anthropomorphic movements of looking left and right in mid-air.

This change also made Aslan alert. Before figuring out the reason for the change, he immediately set up control of the scene. Shin Asuka and Mu were already on their way, and if ordinary troops intervened at this time, it would only cause unnecessary danger.

However, Aslan missed one point, that is, the Celestial Being came without any notice this time, and there was no communication with the military during the whole operation. The military did not take action at first because they recognized Siegfried's reputation, and the previous live broadcast also let them know that the trio was really saving people. But as the bomb went off, everything changed. Currently, the only hostage who can be confirmed to have survived is the political officer, and it is basically impossible for the rest of the people to survive in such an explosion. With such a big incident happening on their territory, the military cannot abandon the action plan that has been formulated long ago just because of a word from the Celestial Being.

"Oops!"

Due to the distance, three pumpkin pies arrived at the scene in a triangular shape before the Celestial Team. At the same time, Phoenix seemed to be triggered by some kind of switch. Two DE armed planes flew back behind it, and then stepped on the sky full of brilliant light and rushed forward like a god.

"This is the 34th Mobile Division of the People's Revolutionary League."

Although there was no communication between the two sides, the MS pilots of the People's Revolutionary League subconsciously prepared to call first. With this idea in mind, two of the three Pumpkin Pies did not even unlock their weapons.

But Phoenix's action made the captain stunned. Before he could figure out whether to use the fire control radar to lock the opponent according to the procedure, a golden shadow of the plane flew past them, and then the three pumpkin pies were cut into a pile of parts out of thin air.

"Captain Ramias, that's Siegfried in there, but he's definitely not the one driving. He's already lost consciousness. Contact Hilde immediately. We must find out what's wrong with this machine!"

"Meiling is already starting up encrypted communications. The maintenance team has put Immortal Justice on autopilot. You and Stella, get out of there quickly."

Although the three pilots managed to escape, Yashima's fate made Mariu immediately change his mind and he notified the maintenance team to change the landing point of Immortal Justice to one kilometer away.

Because even she herself was not sure what the consequences would be if she really launched Immortal Justice into Phoenix's warning circle. Fortunately, with the bonus of tactical uniforms, Aslan and Stella quickly left the center of the outbreak.

"Uncle Mu, did you see clearly what weapon it used just now?"

"It's so fast that the speedometer can't even keep up with it. We are on Earth, which has gravity and resistance. This speed is simply too fast."

Compared to Kotori's reckless thinking, Mu activated all the measuring instruments built into the Regeneration Gundam the moment Phoenix attacked Yashima.

Whether it was to transmit the images back to Orb so that Hilde could receive the correct information more intuitively, or to prepare in advance for rescuing Siegfried, for Mu, not fighting an unprepared battle was something engraved in his instinct.

"It's coming, Siegfried is inside, should we..."

"Get away!!!"

As the golden light flashed, the right hand of the 1.5 Gundam had completely disappeared. Shin Asuka looked at the alarms that kept ringing in the cockpit in a daze. Not far away, the Regenerating Gundam had already released its GN Fangs to save the situation, but before Mu could start micro-manipulation, he was surprised to find that all the GN Fangs had escaped his control and were aimed at himself.

“This is really going to be bad.”
