Gundam, Iron Banner

How could Leila bear such humiliation?His eyes were burning, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to report to my superiors! How dare you attack a friendly army of the same rank, wait for me to go to the military court!"

"Stop talking nonsense, two days ago we beat a lieutenant colonel named Brad Noah. That guy didn't dare to fart on it, how dare you, a little captain, resist our Titans? "

Lila was startled: 'Brad Noah?Isn't that the legendary captain who commanded the White Base during the One Year War!How could the heroes of the past fall into such a state, and how could Titans be so lawless? '

She finally understood that, with their qualifications, they dared to do such a thing, obviously they had received a signal from their superiors.Needless to say?That bastard Basque Om was going to make a knife out of himself, and he hit the gun.

The young man in the Titans uniform approached again, laughing as he stepped out, like a hooligan on the street bullying a homeless man, the appearance of the people on both sides was extremely ugly.

At this moment, Laila could no longer care about the pain, and only one thing was on her mind: she must take revenge on them.

……

At the same time, in the captain's cabin of the "Alexander", Emma Sheen, who had returned with Laila, was receiving praise from the Commander-in-Chief of Titans.

"You were able to successfully bring back the MK-II and rescued the incompetent federal officer. Well done, Lieutenant Emma."

Basque Ohm stood in front of Emma, ​​looking down at her from a high position, with a slight smile on his face.

Consistent with his identity, this man's appearance has a strong sense of presence.He is more than two meters tall and has a strong body.For some reason, he has neither eyebrows nor hair, and his whole head is bald. With the pair of laser glasses, the whole face looks very strange. Even a gentle smile on this face is somewhat intrusive.

Emma couldn't get used to this appearance, but her extraordinary courage supported her without taking a step back. She straightened her back and bravely said, "I didn't do any great work. Compared with this, why should I do anything?" Carrying out hostage operations? With the strength of Titans, there is no need to use such tricks!"

She is an upright person, but it is obviously not wise to lose her temper in front of her immediate boss.The colleagues around looked at her at the same time, their sharp eyes seemed to be able to pierce people, with infinite pressure.

Under this silent coercion, even a woman like Emma who dared to confront her immediate boss was somewhat discouraged at the moment.

Basker Ohm's expression also turned cold. He stepped back, stomped back to the table, thought for a moment and said coldly: "I just chose the most efficient battle."

"That kind of thing—"

"Forget it, let me see what you do next time."

"Eh?"

"Don't you want to fight head-on? No problem, you will be the team leader next time, and the Luna 2 gang will also be under your control. Take back Aogu's new mobile suit for me. The lieutenant should be able to do it , After all, you have the guts to ask me for advice. That's it, you go back and prepare for battle."

"Fighting head-on..."

Emma read these words, and walked out of the room weakly.

Basker Ohm gave himself the power to choose to fight. Does this mean that Titans are not as bad as imagined?But soon this idea was rejected by himself.

"No, this doesn't prove anything. He just found out that his method doesn't work against the enemy."

While thinking about it, she suddenly saw a familiar figure at the end of the corridor.

"Captain Laila? What's wrong with you, your face?"

"!"

Lila, who was in a daze, was startled. She scanned the surroundings subconsciously, and found that there was no other person beside her, so she rushed forward, took out a pistol from her pocket and pressed it against Emma's abdomen, and said in a low voice, "Don't move!"

Emma immediately understood what she meant, raised her hands, and said in a deep voice, "Are you planning to go to Aogu? Take Captain Franklin with you, and I will go with you."

……

Somewhere in the universe, somewhere in the rubble belt—

You Bai has been hiding inside driving "Lick Dias" for several hours.Although at the beginning, I believed that the captain would keep his promise and send the hostages back.But as time passed, he inevitably became a little less confident in his own judgment.

"Hey, I clearly told Mr. Shaar before that you shouldn't have too high expectations of others. As a result, I also made this mistake myself, so I have to review it."

While sighing, an electric current suddenly flashed in my mind, and somewhere in the distance, there was a strong malice.This malice was not aimed at himself, it was more like chasing and killing someone.

"This direction should be where the Titans fleet is... Are you coming!"

It was an unexpected surprise. You Bai was still a little frustrated at first, but now he suddenly cheered up, activated his MS, flew out of the gravel belt and rushed towards the malicious place.

"Since you keep your promise, I should do a little bit of work! It's exciting to think about robbing people from the Titans' pursuers."

Chapter 96: Father

"Captain Franklin, fix your seat, the Titans' pursuers are coming!"

"Ugh..."

Along with the dodging action of "Gundam MK-II", the sudden G force made Franklin Verdan almost bite his tongue.

It had been a few minutes since he got out of the Titans mothership "Alexander", but Franklin still felt that he was still in a dream.

He was sleeping soundly, when suddenly two women broke into the door and said they were here to save him.Before they figured out the situation here, they dragged them out with guns.After that, it was a combination of snatching MS + fleeing, which was done in one go, and there was no time for dialogue in the middle.

Of course, it's not that Franklin doesn't understand his position on the Titans. His son stole the cutting-edge MS, and he might be taken hostage.What he couldn't understand was, why did these two women try to save themselves by defecting?Also, what about the wife who was taken out earlier?I haven't seen anyone until now, could something have happened?

He really wanted to ask, but this woman named Emma Xin was trying to avoid the gunfire behind her, so she didn't have the time to answer.On the other hand, he himself was so dazed by the G force that he felt like he would bite his tongue off if he opened his mouth.

'Is this actual combat?I never imagined that I would sit on the MS designed by myself in this way...'

Although Franklin was the designer of this Gundam, he actually didn't drive the machine many times. He could only remember three or two times, and each time was not too long.

Even if he doesn't have to drive himself now, this feeling of backflowing blood is still difficult to overcome. MS flew among the stars, dazzled him, and nearly threw up.

The only thing that can comfort him is: Seen from behind, Emma's body curve is very graceful, which can remind him of the body of his lover Jovi Fufer.Thinking of the lover who was about the same age as his son, Franklin felt a little hard underneath, and the nausea subsided a lot.

However, such a despicable delusion is destined not to last long on the battlefield. The violent vibration interrupted his lust. Before Franklin could understand what was going on, Emma murmured palely: "Oops, the propeller was blocked." Hit!"

The "Gundam MK-II No. [-] Unit" not far ahead noticed their situation, but turning around in this situation would be tantamount to suicide. Laila apologized in her heart and continued to fly forward, ignoring their intentions.

Seeing this, Franklin quickly shouted: "No, it doesn't matter! Even if one thruster of my Gundam is hit, it won't affect the work of other thrusters!"

"It's useless! You can't get rid of them without mentioning the top speed, you will be caught!"

While shouting, several "Gaozagu" were chasing up behind them. They were equipped with beam weapons, and they shot down a few shots, almost knocking down the Gundam.

Although the attack was dodged, the dodge still had to be slowed down. Seeing that another "Gaozagu" was about to strike with an axe, when Emma felt desperate, a beam of light came towards her, almost Rubbing the Gundam's fuselage and flying back, it hit "Gao Zaku" on the shoulder, making him lose his balance and unable to pursue.

"What an exquisite shot! Could it be that someone came to respond—"

Then she saw a white streamer flying from a distance, accompanied by several precise shots.

Those light beams seemed to have eyes, and every shot accurately hit a machine. At first glance, it seemed that those machines had hit the light beam head-on.

The white body came quickly and crossed the Gundam in an instant. Only now did Emma see clearly that it was a white "Ricdias".

"Announce 'Gundam MK-II No. [-]', this is where Aogu belongs, please leave immediately, I will resist the pursuers!"

"It's such a young voice, I think I've heard it before." Emma was slightly taken aback, then remembered the young man she had had a few brief conversations with, "Could it be him? As expected of the team leader in the Titans Experimental Force. People, their strength is really unfathomable. But this number of enemies..."

Looking back, the number of "Gao Zhagu" can't be counted at a glance, and it feels like there are fifteen or more. In this case, no matter how powerful the ACE is, it is impossible to win casually, right?Especially since the difference in the performance of the two airframes is not enough to be crushed, it will be even more troublesome to deal with.

but--

The white "Rick Dias" sprinted without the slightest hesitation. The beam guns connected to each other, first interrupting the arms of the two mobile suits, causing them to fall into a short-term loss of control. On the cockpit, evaporate the driver in it.

Seeing this, the other mobile suits grew fearful, and faintly wanted to retreat. You Bai seized the opportunity of their wavering, raised his hand and fired a shot, and the beam pierced through the two nearest enemy planes.Although it didn't hit the cockpit, killing two birds with one stone was still a bluff after all, and the surrounding enemy planes suddenly fell into panic.

The original captain of this group should be Emma Xin, but now she defected, and the commander was temporarily replaced by Gellit Mesa.This guy is a newcomer, he has neither prestige nor commanding power, he wants to arrange an organized attack, but unfortunately no one will listen to him, they are all fighting their own way.

Seeing that his own army was scattered by a plane, Jie Lite really had no temper.

While he was worried that he would be shot down by You Bai, he was also afraid that there would be reinforcements behind Ao Gu.At the same time, it is clear that the self-army is stumbling here, and it is impossible to chase down the two defected Gundams.Under multiple pressures, we had to arrange for all the staff to retreat.

Just like that, the mighty "Gao Zhagu" army was repelled by one person, and fled back in despair.

After all, You Bai was advancing with a single machine, and it was impossible to continue chasing after taking advantage of it. With the attitude of prioritizing the completion of the task, he was alert to the surrounding situation, and returned to "Agama" after a long detour.

So far, the "Gundam MK-II" snatching operation has finally come to an end.The hostages Hilda and Franklin were also rescued, and Augu finally made a good start for the ensuing dispute.

— that's the way it should be.

But when You Bai returned to the hangar of "Agama", what he saw were blood spray floating in the air, and Franklin Verdan's dead body.The large-caliber bullet passed through the cheek, smashing half of the man's face.

Second Lieutenant Rekoa stood motionless holding the pistol, with fear and fear on his face.

When the people around her surrounded her, she finally came to her senses and began to explain hysterically to others.

But these are not what You Bai cares about.

As far as he could see, Camus stood blankly by the hangar door, with a regretful expression on his face.

Chapter 97: Understanding

"The cockpit door was forcibly opened by the staff from the outside. At that time, the nozzle was nearly fully opened, and he flew out because of the linkage with the catapult..."

"Well, yes, the deck hatch door is closed. Captain Franklin tried to pry the door open with the hands of 'Rick Diaz', but failed. There is a pit over there to prove..."

"Yes, I warned you before shooting..."

In the interrogation room, the ship's staff is taking notes for Miss Rekoa.Although the dead were not members of Aogu, it still had to be dealt with if someone died on the ship.

You Bai stood outside the door, listening to the voice from inside, feeling a little complicated.

Captain Franklin Wiedan was a hostage rescued with great effort, and now he died at gunpoint within a few minutes of arriving on the ship.It can only be said that fate made a not-so-funny joke for everyone.

Judging from the testimony heard so far, Franklin was the only one who made the mistake.

When others were not paying attention, he sneaked into Captain Cobatro's "Ricdias", preparing to snatch the mobile suit and return it to Titans.It's a pity that he is only a technician after all, and he doesn't have the ability to manipulate mobile suits, and he couldn't open the hangar door after a long time of tossing.

Even if the staff forcefully opened the cockpit and dragged him out, the stupid man still wanted to run away, but in the end he was shot through the head by a bullet amidst Rekoa's warning sound. .

"Are you planning to use Aogu's mobile suit to claim credit from Basque Ohm?"

"It should be true. After all, the performance of 'Lick Dias' is even better than that of Gundam. Basque will definitely be able to ignore the theft of MK-II after seeing it."

From the side came the conversation between Cobatro and Brigadier General Blakes.

According to the two of them, it was just a technician who was forcibly brought back. He didn't expect to be able to work for Aogu, and there was nothing he could do if he died.

No, it would be better to say that, after all, there is less risk.

You Bai also didn't have any special thoughts about Franklin's death, he was planning to grab the mobile suit here, could he still feel sorry for him?

In contrast, he was more worried about Camus' situation.Seeing his father die in front of him, how big a blow should it be?

After reporting to the Brigadier General, he planned to talk to Camus.

For Camus, a young man who is not yet familiar with "Agama", there is no place to hide on the ship.You Bai went straight to knock on the door of his room, and after a while, his voice really came from inside.

"...It's Lieutenant You Bai, what's the matter?"

The door opened slightly, revealing half of Camus' face.He pretended to be nonchalant, and seeing You Bai's worried face, he even showed a calm smile.It's just that judging from the red eye sockets, this kid is definitely not as calm as he looks on the outside.

You Bai smiled and pointed inside: "Can I go in?"

"If you want to comfort me, you should avoid it. I'm not a child."

"If you can say something like this, it proves that you are still a child. Adults know how to accept other people's kindness."

After that, without waiting for Camus to give a response, he opened the door and went in, pulled a stool from the wall to sit on, and then pointed to the edge of the bed: "Sit down."

"Whose room is it..."

Camus sat down by the bed helplessly, lowered his head, and did not want to meet the eyes of this side, and said slowly: "As I said before, there is really no need to comfort me. My relationship with Captain Franklin is not very good, and it is not so good now. sad."

Captain Franklin...

You Bai couldn't help but wryly smiled when he heard him bluntly addressing his father by name + military rank.Adolescent boys are really easy to understand. They want to use a tough attitude to cover up their inner pain. In fact, anyone can see through it at a glance.

"What kind of person is Captain Franklin? I have never had contact with him. If possible, I hope you can tell me."

"What kind of person?" Camus sneered with a little contempt on the corner of his mouth, "He is a scum. In his heart, his family is just a dispensable thing. How can it be important to catch up with his MS? Hmph, if it's just That's all, but actually? He doesn't go home all day long, and always lies about going to work, but actually he ran to his lover's house for the night! His lover, Qiu Weifufu, seems to be sixteen or seventeen years old Right? He can do it! That shitty thing has caused a lot of trouble in the city. Even my classmates in school have heard of it. They make fun of me every day. Being murdered? For a man like him, I don't care whether he dies or not! I don't care if he lives or dies, I, I..."

When mentioning the dead man, Camus immediately started talking, pouring out all the anguish in his heart.

His words are illogical, and the whole story is full of complaints about his incompetent father.As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he fell silent, and wiped around his eye sockets with his right hand.

You Bai handed over a tissue at the right time, but was blocked by the other party's hand.

Camus raised his head, with a masochistic smile on his face: "Lieutenant You Bai must not understand, right? The feeling of being dragged down by such a father."

"drag?"

"Isn't it? As their child, I have worked very hard!"

This is harsh enough, but You Bai can understand it.My own father died right in front of my eyes, and I still wanted to force myself to calm down. This is what will happen after all.

But understanding is understanding, and he must not be allowed to sink into this kind of spiritual self-mutilation, which will have an impact on his future life.

"... Camus."

"What? I don't listen to lectures."

"It doesn't mean that, I just think you seem to have misunderstood me. Although it's more boring than bad, I have to admit that my parents have nothing to do with being competent."
