A journey through the Gundam world

"Captain."

"Thank you."

He took the backpack handed over by the guard and handed it to Nigel again.

"Nigel, in accordance with the prisoner of war treaty, we will temporarily detain you in the solitary room on the ship. We will also provide you with three meals a day according to normal standards until we arrive at the base."

The previously captured ZAFT pilots were handed over to the East Asian Federation Forces in Batangas Port after landing on Earth.

The reason why it is not handed over to the Eighth Fleet is that as the Atlantic Federation Forces, handing it over to them is no different than handing it over to Blue Cosmos.

The pilot who is the adjuster will die in their hands sooner or later.

Although the East Asia Federation is also a warring party, at least in terms of being a human being, it is still more human-like than the Atlantic Federation.

Nigel seemed very cooperative.

"I understand, and I will abide by the prisoner of war regulations."

He was then escorted by guards to the solitary cell located below the living area.

When the cell door was closed, Nigel sat on the hard bed and sighed.

"He was actually captured... I wonder if my father and mother will be worried if they find out."

He looked at the ceiling, lost in thought.

At the same time, in the captain's room, Alex introduced the identity of the captured Thunder pilot to Ma Su and others.

"According to intelligence, Nigel Amalfi is the only son of Yuri Amalfi, a high-ranking member of the ZAFT Army and a member of the Supreme Council, who is in charge of the Ordnance Technology Development Bureau."

After hearing this, Mu whistled.

"It turns out he is the son of a high-ranking official."

"Last time it was the speaker's daughter, and this time it's the son of a member of the Supreme Council. Is ZAFT so generous in letting these high-ranking officials' children go to the battlefield?"

Bucky Lulu couldn't help but complain.

Masuo also nodded in agreement. In this regard, PLANT is indeed much more ruthless than Earth United.

At least the children of the other party's high-ranking officials really want to fight on the front lines instead of sitting in the office drinking coffee and reading battle reports.

Chapter 146 The Plan of the Three

"Many of Cruze's elite pilots are the children of members of the PLANT Supreme Council."

Alex said something, causing the three of them to shake their heads and sigh.

"So, what are we going to do with this young master? Send him back directly like last time?"

Mu raised the most pointed question of the moment, what to do with the prisoner.

"No, his identity is different from Miss Lux. He is a genuine ZAFT military pilot. And he is also a member who captured the G-plan body. We can't release him easily like this, we can only take him to Alaska."

Masuo did not relent this time.

Although Nigel is young, he is a registered soldier of ZAFT.

The last time he traded Lux ​​for ZAFT to stop the pursuit, it was understandable. After all, the other party could still be said to be a civilian.

But this time it was different. Although they had not received orders from the headquarters, they could not just let the enemy pilots go if they caught them.

Even if this was captured by Alex, it would still be the same to them.

"Yes, we will go to Alaska next and releasing prisoners of war without authorization will cause the headquarters to lower our evaluation and may even be dealt with by military law."

Bucky Lulu still considered this matter from the perspective of the military.

Alex had no objection to this. Under the current circumstances, letting Nigel go was what worried him.

In order to change this boy's fate, I spent a lot of effort.

If he were released, changed his body and came back and was killed by Kira, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?

As for what happens next, once he gets to Orb, that's his territory. He has plenty of ideas, doesn't he?

Seeing that he had no objection, the other three quickly reached an agreement on this matter.

After briefly discussing how to deal with the prisoners of war, the four began to discuss the next voyage.

"We have arrived in Palau, and the original plan was to turn to Guam, but that was without encountering the enemy."

Bucky Lulu pointed at the electronic map and said.

"Although the location of the enemy's mothership has not been locked, it is certain that these aircraft will not fly from Carpantalia. There must be their motherships around."

On the map, with the Archangel as the center of the circle, the detection distance and the return trajectories of the three Gundams were outlined.

However, no trace of the enemy mothership was found within this range.

"Yes, now that we have a tail, should we continue this route?"

Ma Tian held his chin and frowned slightly.

Although the Archangel had already received supplies before setting sail, the East Asia Federation even generously allowed them to take a batch of parts from the collected MS wreckage.

But for the next voyage, it cannot be said to be a drop in the bucket, but it is not enough to support the rest of the voyage under pursuit.

"If we don't take this route, how will we reach Orb? If we take a straight route, we may be pursued by more ZAFT troops. So I support continuing to act according to the original route."

Mu put forward his own opinion.

"I also think it should be the case. The pressure of facing an enemy ship being pursued is much less than facing a large number of enemy troops."

Alex was the last to speak.

"I also think we should continue the original route. However, what should we do about our supply problem? If we continue fighting all the way, with the current ammunition reserves, we will not be able to make it to the end."

Baji Lulu raised the most realistic problem. For them, the most scarce thing now is ammunition.

After all, intercepting mobile suits consumes a lot of physical ammunition.

Apart from anything else, the ammunition consumption of the Porcupine Formation alone is quite large.

Although a single round of ammunition is not expensive, with the rate of fire of the Porcupine Formation, the bullets fired here and there are clearly worth money!

Just when the three of them looked sad, Alex smiled.

"Don't worry about this. Although Orb can't directly escort us, it can still provide ammunition supplies."

"really?"

Masuo's eyes lit up.

If supplies can be obtained, there will be no need to worry about the Archangel's subsequent voyage.

After all, all difficulties stem from lack of firepower.

If you have enough firepower, you can kill the enemy with ammunition.

"And I also contacted the scrap recyclers I know before. They can provide us with some MS parts, but they are all ZAFT-style."

Alex's words were like providing help in times of need to the three of them.

"This solves a big problem."

Mu snapped his fingers.

"So, who pays?"

Bucky Lulu asked cautiously.

"Of course Orb."

After hearing what he said, Natal did not breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned.

"Why is Orb so generous?"

For this matter, Alex has already prepared an answer.

"Because, Representative Asghar wants to express his gratitude to you."

"Thank you? Why?"

This time, even Masuo was confused.

"Because, I want to thank you for taking care of Cagalli all the way."

"Hey?"

"She is the only daughter of the Orb Lion."

"what?"

Look at the surprised expressions on the faces of Masuo and Baji Lulu.

Mu thought about the time when he had just learned Cagalli's identity, and the expression on his face was not much better.

Masuo recalled Cagalli's usual appearance, and could never imagine that she was Orb's princess.

She could only comment tactfully on this.

"As expected of the Orb Lion's daughter."

Regarding her evaluation, Alex waved his hand and commented unceremoniously.

"There is no need to beautify her. This girl has not inherited any of her father's qualities. She is only impulsive and impetuous."

Bucky Lulu on the side couldn't help but complain.

"Is this a compliment for you?"

Alex turned to look at her and spread his hands.

"How is that possible? If this person were my daughter, she would have been hung up and beaten long ago."

After hearing this man's shocking speech, Mu couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"Are you really going to do this? And if you do this, the police will come to your door, right?"

"Hey, that's what I said. But this girl is not bad-hearted, but she lacks experience. So she has grown a lot this time. Probably."

Masuo concluded.

"So, in order to thank us for our help, Representative Ashar paid for us?"

Alex nodded.

"That's right, you can spend whatever you want. The Asha family is very rich."

Although she didn't have a detailed idea of ​​how rich the five Orb families were.

But from the second part, long before Uzumi died, a golden saint like Dawn could be created.

This shows how exaggerated the wealth of families like Orb is.

In short, with the supplies he promised.

Masuo and others decided to continue heading to Guam according to the current route, and their confidence in fighting when they encountered the enemy in the future was also strengthened.

Contrary to the happy situation on the Archangel, the ZAFT army dived into the carrier.

Yitzhak was furious.

"Damn it, damn it! Nigel was captured like this! Why did it have to be him!"

Aslan looked at him banging the locker door and said while suppressing the anger in his heart.

"At least the instructor captured him. At least he won't be too embarrassed."

When Yitzhak heard this, he stopped taking the locker to vent his anger and turned to glare at Aslan.

"Why did you stop me? Aslan! If we cooperate..."

"Calm down, do you think in that situation, with your damaged body and my Holy Shield, you can take advantage of the instructor and the attacker?"

Aslan interrupted and shattered his delusion.

"We had already lost Nigel at that time. Do you still want me to watch you get killed again? Yitzhak!"

"Even if we are killed, it is still better than four people attacking and three returning!"

The proud silver-haired boy could not accept this outcome.

When he stepped off the MS after returning to the aircraft carrier, he felt the stunned and disbelieving looks of the ZAFT soldiers around him, which made his face burn.
