Gundam Seed: Final Destination Chapter 190: : Everyone on the Grass Pheasant, Victoria Harbor has fallen
June 17th.
Noel Cassia accepted the order to go to pnt, and Covenant Gundam installed the thruster for a single person to cross the atmosphere at the Chuck Talia base.
However, because the Covenant Gundam was "seriously damaged" in the Orb battlefield, in order to prevent a single machine from passing through the atmosphere, it is necessary to carry out the maintenance and overhaul of the Covenant Gundam first, and the estimated completion time is seven days.
June 18.
Under countless starlights, the huge warships reflected the light of the earth, floating faintly in the darkness.
That is the defected ship "Archangel" of the United Earth Army, and Orb's second Izumo-class ship "Kusanagi".
The main hull of the Kusanagi launched from the ground will be connected with the remaining four components, and the connection procedure will be completed step by step under the guidance of 1 Heretic Gundam Troop.
Although the main hull of the Kusanagi is a spaceship that can sail alone, when it is fully integrated, its firepower and propulsion will be greatly improved.
In addition, the combined hull is equipped with main guns above and below, and the linear catapult is clamped and fixed at the front of the boarding hatch to become a new bow; The hull joint of the city cannon "Loangrin" and the rear thruster.
After being combined with other components, the Kusanagi has become a space battleship with a total length of 290 meters and although slightly smaller than the Archangel, its force cannot be underestimated.
In a room in the living quarters of the Kusanagi, Kagali curled up on the bed with her knees hugged, and kept crying.
The burst of fire that devoured the lives of her father and others before leaving seemed to be sending off smoke to them, and it still burned her eyes.
Recalling the little things between her and her father when she was young, and his big hand caressing at the end, his smile...everything is deeply hurting her heart.
"Dad..."
A sob escaped from his lips.
—Why...? Why did you leave me and go first?
It shouldn't be so early, it's too early...
He understands his father's last will in his mind, but Cagalli's heart keeps spinning in the same place involuntarily.
"Cagali..."
A call from the intercom in the room interrupted her thoughts. She got out of bed slowly and opened the door in a daze, only to see Kira and Aslan standing there worried.
As soon as she heard this caring tone, Kagalli cried and hugged Kira's neck, and couldn't help but buried her head in Kira's chest and burst into tears.
Aslan on the side just looked at her silently with a pair of sad eyes.
Facing Kira, Kagalli felt that she didn't need to say anything, and he understood everything.
Seeing Kagalli standing up sobbing, Kira straightened her head and looked at her face.
"...It's okay, I'll go...wash my face."
Feeling his wordless greeting, Kagali wiped her face swollen from crying and answered to herself, ready to turn around and go to the bathroom.
I can't help but think of that photo in my mind.
I am not alone——
Cajiali washed her face at the sink and looked at herself in the mirror. Her slightly wet bangs were golden, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Although her outline was deep, she couldn't tell which ethnicity she belonged to.
As for this point, she never doubted it.
Aub is a multi-ethnic country, and the Ashar family has mixed blood from all over the world since ancient times.
She feels nothing like her father, but people around her always say that she got her blond hair from her grandfather, and she accepts it to this day.
But recalling that photo, Cagalli touched a sharp corner of the hard paper with her fingertips, carefully took out the photo, and re-examined it.
The brunette woman in the photo is amiably cradling two infant babies -- a blonde and a brunette.
"Kira and Cagalli"
If the words on the back of the photo are true, then the babies are themselves and the boy who was hugging and comforting them just now.
Is there really such a thing——?
Siblings...?
Myself and Kira...?
"Our current location should be here.... The question is how to go next..."
Inside the bridge of the Kusanagi, everyone began to discuss the next road.
Now there is no place for them on the earth, even if they escape into the universe temporarily, it is not good to just wander aimlessly like this.
But with the demise of Orb, they neither belong to the Earth Union nor pnt, and they have no place to live now.
Captain Maliu was thinking about this, when he saw Chisaka pointing to a point on the satellite orbit and said, "I think we'll go here first, how about that?"
"l4..."
Chisaka refers to another Lagrangian point in the satellite orbit of the earth, separated from the moon, and facing PNT.
Before leaving Orb, the two ships loaded with supplies as much as possible. Since the current number of crew members is still far from full, the existing water storage can supply about one year. But in the future, there will be no more sources of supplies, and everything will have to be managed by yourself.
"The l4 colony satellite group was gradually abandoned due to damage during the war. Although it is uninhabited now, it should still be used as a water source..."
After Chisaka finished speaking, Maru couldn't help but muttered: "Why...it reminded me again..."
Obtaining water from the colonial satellite, this made her think of another place.
"Noel..."
Noel's words and face at that time suddenly flashed in Kira's mind, and he couldn't help but feel tight.
"Noel, what's the matter?"
Aslan heard Kira's words, he couldn't help showing doubts, wondering what this had to do with Noel.
"Speaking of which, why did Noel help us? Aslan, do you know?"
Listening to Aslan's question, Kira couldn't help but have another doubt in his heart. Does Noel Cassia have a reason to fight?
Maru and the others also looked at Aslan in doubt.
If the Covenant Gundam hadn't entered the arena, their battle would have been even more difficult.
And if it wasn't for the last speech of Fleur Arsta brought by Noel to buy time for them, it is also a question of whether the Grass Pheasant can be successfully launched.
"I don't know, but maybe he is like us."
Aslan didn't know why Noel wanted to help Orb, so he could only use such unreasonable words to perfunctory.
"Is it the same..."
Kira couldn't let go of her heart when she heard the words, but this was indeed the best 'excuse' they could think of.
Obviously, the rest of the people couldn't accept this explanation for a while. After all, it was the covenant, known as the Panamanian Death's body.
This explanation - too far-fetched.
"Actually, there are people in pnt who have the same idea as us!"
Aslan continued.
When Kira heard the words, he looked at each other and said, "... Lacus?"
"The little pink princess?"
Hearing this, Maru couldn't help but think of the girl who happened to meet in the gravel belt~IndoMTL.com~Lacus Klein—the daughter of Klein's former speaker.
"She is Aslan's fiancée."
Kira smiled.
Kagali stared at Aslan with his eyes wide open when he heard the words. The words fiancee, which seemed to be from the last century, did not match the age of the boy in front of him at all.
However, Facing Kira's words, Aslan's expression suddenly became painful, and said: "She has been... wanted by my father, and she is said to be treason..."
Treason...?
It is even more surprising to associate these words with that well-behaved and gentle girl.
But Kira just nodded calmly as if he had expected it.
Obviously he knew about this matter a long time ago.
On June 18, the Grass Pheasant was assembled and headed for the scheduled L4 colony satellite.
At the same time, Shihe was ordered to come to support Shihe to enter the base of Kapantalia.
On June 19, Covenant was dismantled due to technical reasons.
However, on the same day, secret forces belonging to the Eurasian Federation and the Atlantic Ocean suddenly attacked Victoria Harbour.
June 21st.
Because of the sharp drop in plnat soldiers on Earth caused by the Battle of Panama and the Battle of Alaska, Victoria Harbor was captured in less than two days.
The self-explosive device was also stopped just before it could be activated.
Kruse and the others who rushed to support had to turn around halfway and return to the Chucan Talia base to garrison.
Earth's pnt army also began to shrink its defenses.
