A journey through the Gundam world

The battle is over, but it does not mean it is really over. Cleaning the battlefield, searching and rescuing personnel, receiving damaged equipment, and alerting the enemy of possible return rifles.

Cleaning the battlefield, sealing off the surrounding space, and temporarily repairing damaged ships and MSs are all proceeding in an orderly manner.

The small Coles-class cruiser responsible for search and rescue still bore traces of war.The close-in defense gun on the right side was blown up, and only the firepower on one side was effective.

In order to facilitate search, rescue and ship protection, each search team is composed of a small mobile suit team and a Coles class.

They slowly searched for survivors on the human side among the large debris.

"Keep your eyes open and pay attention to your surroundings."

In the cockpit located at the bow of the ship, the captain ordered the crew.

"In addition to the remains of friendly forces, you should also pay attention to the remains of monsters. If you manage to survive, don't die while cleaning the battlefield."

"Yes!"

Soon, the wreckage of a Graze was discovered.

"MS team, on the left front of the ship, is the wreckage of a Graze."

"receive."

Graz, who was escorting him, held a battle ax and cautiously approached the MS wreckage.

There have been cases where Bruman, hiding under the wreckage, attacked the approaching rescue mobile suit.

Fortunately, a single drone is not difficult to deal with, after tearing this very spirited drone apart.

The originally empty-handed search and rescue team, when approaching the wreckage, were armed with cold weapons to prepare for possible sneak attacks.

Carefully turning over the wreckage, there was no red-eyed Bruman lying on his stomach.

However, the crack in the cockpit and the frozen red ice crystals near the crack still declared that the pilot of the MS had been killed.

Seeing this scene, the pilot couldn't help but curse.

"Didn't survive, damn monster."

Glaze, who was searching and rescuing, towed the wreckage of the aircraft and hung it on the cable towed by the Coles class.

Although the pilot died in action, parts such as the Ahab furnace need to be recovered, and the pilot's remains need to be taken back to verify his identity, and then the relics or remains must be returned to his family.

While the search and rescue work was ongoing, the Moon Ring Fleet and the Earth Ring Fleet dispatched relatively intact squadrons to block and monitor the surrounding space, including the direction of the Moon Goddess.

On the one hand, it prevents civilian ships from accidentally entering, and on the other hand, it prevents AI from suddenly coming out again.

In the previous battles, the intelligence displayed by the AI ​​was beyond people's expectations.

It can be said that regardless of the attack launched by the AI, the sudden attack when the mother body appeared, and the unexpected retreat when the human reinforcements arrived, they all left a deep impression on everyone.

This was not a battle of annihilation, but an active retreat by the enemy.

The enemy's main unit, the M/A mother body, Barbadoro, retreated under the nose of the human fleet.

Of course, this is not because humans are stupid, but because the enemies they fight are cunning monsters that were sealed into the dust of history 300 years ago.

Without being familiar with the enemy, although humans were cautious, they still misjudged the opponent's combat intentions.

It also allows humans who have forgotten the cunningness of AI to recognize their opponents again.

Therefore, even if humans won the battle in the end, Alex was not happy.

Because the real enemy is not dead.

"Oh, I hope those old guys won't get heartbroken when they hear this news."

After complaining, Alex concentrated on controlling the machine and landed on the Gugalana.

In fact, he was not the only one who was thinking about how to report to Vangolf headquarters.

Lesdal and others are also having a headache with this problem.

Not long after Alex landed on the Gugalana, he heard Eugene calling him to the bridge from the ship-wide radio.

So he told the maintenance crew to take good care of the amputated horn in his left hand, and hurried to the bridge without even changing out of his pilot uniform.

"What is it? Eugene?"

Holding on to the open automatic door, he poked his head and asked Eugene who was very busy.

"It's Miss Karta. She said she wants you to contact him as soon as possible if there is something."

Eugene, who poked his head out from the captain's seat, answered him.

Then the helmsman Ryder yelled.

"Eugene, MS wreckage found ahead."

"Slow down and let the search and rescue team check the situation! Watch out for those Brumen who are not dead."

"I understand. I'll go back to the room to contact her."

Seeing how busy it was here, Alex rationally decided to go back to his room instead of taking up precious time on the bridge.

Returning to the room, he turned on the contact device on the table and dialed Kalta's number.

He unbuttoned his pilot uniform, revealing his bare upper body, and then took out a sandwich and a drink from the small refrigerator in the room and placed it on the table. The long battle had made him hungry.

Then he grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat off his body. At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the screen with his back to him.

"What are you doing...brother?"

Hearing that it was Carta's voice, he answered without turning around.

"Huh? I'm wiping my sweat. Why... uh..."

He held the sandwich wrapper between his teeth and turned to look.

On the screen, in addition to Karta, there were Lesdal and Magillis, and behind Lesdal, Iogu stood.

At this time, Karta looked obviously angry, while the other three had subtle expressions on their faces.

Video connections are already commonplace for them.

But it’s rare to see people openly appear on screen shirtless like this.

Alex didn't expect that there were so many people here. He thought it was just Carta who contacted him alone.

My sister, what happened when she saw her shirtless?No piece of meat will fall off.

But what if someone else sees it?In such a public place, do I need to cover up the past loudly?

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth like a normal undressed man.

The sandwich he was holding in his mouth fell to the floor of the room together with the packaging.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, everyone, I just returned to the ship, please wait a moment."

But as a man, you must be thick-skinned at this time.

He finished speaking as if nothing had happened, and calmly walked out of the camera's shooting range.

He just wiped it randomly a few times, then quickly took off his one-piece pilot uniform, and hurriedly put on the upper body of Gjallarhorn's uniform.

What?What do you think of the lower body?

The video calls are all seated, and it's not a live broadcast from Little Blue Bird. There has to be a camera to take pictures under the table.

As long as he doesn't get up, everything will be fine.

So, wearing only shorts, he sat on the chair from an angle that the camera could not capture, and moved himself to the table.

"Sorry for the long wait. Everyone."

This small episode did not affect the others.

Seeing him come back, they continued their previous conversation.

"Back to the topic just now, I have ordered the Lunar Ring Fleet to start mobilizing all members regarding this matter, and at the same time sent an emergency contact to Van Gelf to report this matter."

Lesdal's words stunned Alex, who had just unwrapped the sandwich.

'Are you really not afraid of those three old men hitting you...'

In his heart, he couldn't help but secretly admire Lesdal.

The three Supreme Round Tables that remain on Earth are Badoun, Falk, and Bakrazan.

These three heads of the family, including the head of the Yixiu family who was lying on the hospital bed, were four in total. The youngest was probably Duke Falk.

There are three old men left, the oldest one is the head of the Baklazan family, who is the bald old man in the plot. His beard and eyebrows are all white. He is over 80 years old.

However, the youngest head of the Falk family is so fat that he can hardly walk. He is probably tall and has a bad heart.

In addition, the cheap old man was paralyzed in bed, so this news should not take away the three of them at once.

Therefore, Alex even made a malicious guess, was Lesdal planning to use this news to kill people?

"Now that the headquarters has been informed of this matter, in accordance with the Gallagher Horn Law, we may have to enter the emergency mobilization stage."

After Lesdal said this, Alex's eyes became sharp.

"Emergency mobilization..."

He chewed his sandwich and carefully recalled his bad knowledge.

This is an important provision written in Gjallarhorn's law.

The purpose is that when mankind once again faces a threat that will affect life and death, Gallallhorn must immediately shift to wartime mobilization.

Concentrate forces and unify command.At the same time, new weapons were rapidly produced and troops were recruited on a large scale.to deal with enemy threats.

However, this also means that there must be a commander-in-chief who is responsible for the overall command of the huge force that Gallallhorn has reassembled.

The last person to hold this position was the founder of Gallarhorn, Agunika Kayel.

During this period of emergency mobilization, the person who serves as commander-in-chief will have power over other families.

Originally, if Lord Yi Xiugong had not suffered a stroke, he would have definitely assumed the position of commander.

But now, the most likely person is Lesdal.

The other household heads are either too old to hold this position, or they are too young to convince the public.

However, I believe that such a result is something that many people do not want to see.

Because holding such a position will not only bring great power, but also great prestige.

Chapter 246

Just as he was thinking about this, Lesdal suddenly called his name.

"Alex, I heard from McGillis that you have been lurking around here for a while. Did you notice anything unusual during this period?"

He looked up at McGillis and found that the other person had a nonchalant look on his face.

Obviously, this temporary ally is not very reliable either.

"No, actually I haven't been hiding here for a long time before. I have only been hiding here for the past few days. During this period, I also received a navigation warning from the Aryanhead fleet, so I have been vigilant, but I didn't find anything unusual. "

There was nothing concealed in his answer. After all, this kind of thing can be clearly understood by just looking at the ship's logbook.

"Well, I see."

Lesdal simply nodded and did not continue to ask.

Before Alex connected, he had been talking to McGillis and Kalta for some time.

They also have no clue about the sudden appearance of M/A.

Although I asked several of them with a glimmer of hope, as the person in charge of this place, Lesdal didn't know, and the other outsiders were even less aware.

After all, this is the fleet defense area under the jurisdiction of Lesdal. According to regulations, the Earth Ring Fleet will not easily cross the border. This time it is only a long-distance voyage.

The Supervisory Bureau is only responsible for catching internal problems. If it hadn't been for Zalmford, I'm afraid Alex and McGillis would have received the M/A report in Van Golf.

What others know is that many ships have disappeared recently on the routes near the moon, suspected of being pirates.

But now everyone knows whether he is a pirate or not.

So Lesdal asked other people, not expecting much.

Next, as the Lunar Ring Fleet responsible for defense work outside the Earth's circle, it will be very busy.

Apart from anything else, the area near Luna Dew is required to be completely sealed off.
