Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 665: Boomerang of Destiny (VIII)

"Notify the technicians to take over. They are so cruel that they didn't even leave a single person alive."

"Judging from the rigor mortis, the time of death is no more than 12 hours. If we work backwards, it means that we started to clean up the mess not long after we were attacked. This kind of ruthless and decisive enemy is the most troublesome."

Artemis Fortress, a Eurasian space fortress that once featured a light wave defense shield, was breached twice by Thunder and Blizzard in just three years. Especially the second time, Artemis Fortress, which had three Dendrobiums, was completely helpless under the attack of Blizzard. If Orb had not brought Neo Genesis back in time, the People's Revolutionary League would not have been able to even gather a front-line assembly point in the Lunar Orbit Battle.

Perhaps they felt that two major damages were too unlucky for a fortress, so after the war the People's Revolutionary League did not think of repairing Artemis. One Neo Genesis guarding Granada was enough to support the supply mission of the First Fleet, so after several rounds of bidding, the fortress was directly sold to Finas Zweig of the former Earth United Business Council.

However, at this time Zweig appeared in front of Tiago and Nicol in the form of a corpse, with a bloody hole between his eyebrows and lifeless eyes, as if mocking Londo Bell for coming a step late.

"Fortunately, we have Liuli's help, otherwise the bombs scattered throughout the fortress would be enough to cause us a lot of trouble."

Reaching out and pushing Finas' body aside, Nicol clicked twice on the console and found that most of the useful data had been deleted. He then took out a small terminal and connected it directly to the fortress host in physical parallel. Then he turned around and told his friend about the thrilling scene that had just happened.

In fact, Hilde's tracking speed was already very fast, but Canard had to send the captured drone back to Orb from PLANT first, and this alone made him at a disadvantage in terms of time.

Moreover, Neo Agama did not have the equipment to replenish GN particles. The Fallen Angels, who had just experienced a life-and-death battle and even had their archer fighter planes destroyed, had only enough remaining particles to use for normal travel, so they appeared to be a step slower.

After reverse cracking the microwave transmission positioning, Neo Agama rushed to the Artemis Fortress at full speed. Faced with an empty shell with no one in it, Thiago wanted to rush in without saying a word. Fortunately, Canard, who had finished supplying, brought Liuli and stopped him a second before Thiago stepped into the fortress.

Liuli then scanned the interior of the fortress and found that all the nuclear bombs inside were in activated mode. If Tiago just went in like that, the entire fortress and even the nearby Neo Agama would be taken away in one wave.

"I was too anxious, but do you know how painful it is to be so close to killing the opponent but to be just one step late?"

"In fact, our trip was not in vain. Look at this design. If I remember correctly, this MS is the prototype of the People's Revolutionary League that was stolen by Agnes. This alone is enough to make some people in the Council uncomfortable. And that junk dealer named Luo seems to have hidden a piece of information in the layers of code structure. Fortunately, I acted quickly and the other party was in a hurry to delete it and didn't notice the backdoor. In short, don't worry, we are getting closer to the truth step by step, and the time to catch them all in one fell swoop is not far away."

Looking at Nicol who was comforting him softly, Thiago had only one thought in his mind, that is, it was a good thing that he had brought his best friend who had just got married on board when he returned to PLANT. Although the entire Londo Bell seemed to be dominated by the team brought by Thiago, in fact, whether it was Troy and Takito who had just reported, or old acquaintance Michal, all of them recognized Nicol's ability to make decisions on the spot.

"If you weren't here, I would..."

Just when Tiago was about to say something cheesy, a red alarm suddenly sounded in the control room. Nicol glanced down at the screen and his expression suddenly changed: "The satellite cannon has been activated, and it is using the highest authority. Liuli is trying her best to stop it, but she will definitely not be able to stop the first shot!"

"What are the coordinates? Where are you aiming at?!"

"That's the capital of Scandinavia now."

Time went back to an hour ago. Frey stood outside Kira's bedroom with a tray in her hand. Her long wine-red hair was reflected on the silver cup. After a moment's hesitation, her expression slowly changed from hesitation to determination, and finally she pushed open the door. "Kira, I heard that there is a kind of royal soothing tea here, so I asked for some by using my status as a priest. It should help you sleep well~"

"Flea."

The hair hanging down from his forehead could not block Frey's sight. From her perspective, there was an unconcealable tiredness in Kira's eyes.

The feeling of fragility intertwined with pain and confusion was far greater than that of Kira who was once on the Archangel. Frey knew very well that she was also one of the culprits. If she had not appeared, Lacus alone might have been able to protect Kira's fragile and sensitive inner world.

"You've just walked a long way, so it shouldn't be hot anymore. Drink it up."

The girl's coquettish tone concealed the imperceptible heartache. Kira took the cup handed to him by Frey without any suspicion. He tested the temperature with his lips and was about to drink it all in one gulp, but Frey grabbed his wrist unexpectedly.

"Hey? What's wrong?"

"Kira."

The cautious tone was unlike Frey's usual style. The girl lifted up her drooping hair with one hand, her eyes fixed firmly on the cup of tea, and then continued to ask in a barely audible voice: "Will Kira hate me? In fact, people like me are better off dead. Siegfried carved such a handsome epitaph for me, but I ended up becoming a photocopy."

There was no sense of joy or sadness in the girl's tone. Kira probably didn't expect Frey to ask this question, and he stood there in a daze for a moment. The teacup was filled with mist, gradually blurring each other's faces. The atmosphere between them became heavy for a moment. Maybe a few seconds had passed, or maybe a long time had passed. Kira's gentle voice was like a ray of light that pierced through the haze in Frey's heart.

"Anyway, it's great to have Fulei back."

Then, without waiting for Frey to continue speaking, Kira raised the teacup and took a sip. Perhaps the tea was too bitter, so he frowned. Before he could drink much, a shrill alarm interrupted his action, and the gentleness that had finally appeared before was once again replaced by a solemn expression.

"It's an air raid sirens, but this is the capital of Scandinavia, where are the air forces coming from?"

After all, as a former United Lieutenant who had served on the Archangel, Kira had a thorough understanding of the meanings of the various alarms. Just as he subconsciously grasped Frey's arm, a notice from the kingdom came, requiring them to follow the guidance and go to the shelter room together with the refugee representatives.

Not far away in the palace square, the pregnant Queen Winslet stood in the snow, with the Archangel Gundam and Gustav's Guards behind her. The cold Nordic wind whistled past, rolling up Las's gorgeous cloak.

"Reina, kill them all!"

"As you command, Your Majesty!"
