Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1787 Negotiations break down
[Justice Gegenangriff (Counterattack)], accompanied by a group of machines, approached Moon No. 3, which looked like the ZAFT fleet. In order to show that they had no ill intentions, they temporarily shut down all weapon systems and kept sending signals for negotiation.

"Stop! Or we will open fire!" When they reached the critical distance, Patrick Sala suddenly sent a message, asking [Justice Gegenangriff (Counterattack)] and other aircraft to stop advancing. The muzzles of the battleships were faintly shining.

"I am Aslan Sara from the Promise Legion, and I have come to negotiate with you..."

"Shut up! Don't call that name again!" Patrick Sarah became furious again after hearing Aslan's name. This made everyone certain that Patrick Sarah in this world must have experienced unimaginable tragedy, but it was also a headache. Except for Zhen, Lei and Mayu, everyone knew Patrick Sarah, especially Aslan, Isaac, Diego and Nicol. They were all powerful families of PLANT. They could be said to be playmates who grew up together and had known Patrick Sarah since childhood.

Patrick Sala is a very serious man. He hardly smiles even in front of this group of kids. He has a tough personality. As the leader of the war faction, he only makes demands instead of requests to anyone.

But while being tough, he is also a strong and rational person. He will not get emotional so easily, nor will he arbitrarily resist the possibility of negotiation without considering rational analysis.

"…Mother is still alive."

“You said…what…” After these words came out, Patrick Sala was stunned, his tone softened a lot, his eyes were blank, the most important softness in his heart was touched, but this blankness soon disappeared, replaced by the flames of uncontrollable anger burning in his eyes, “You…you damn invaders! Not only did you insult my son, you also insulted my wife! It’s so hateful!”

"Father... Although we are not from the same world, in my world, mother is still alive. You... really don't have to do this."

"Fire! Fire! Kill them!"

As soon as the order was given, the entire fleet began to operate like a tight machine. The gunfire of each ship flashed, covering the [Justice Gegenangriff (Counterattack)] and other machines like a violent storm, but [Freedom Wache (Guardian)] raised its palm and held up a pale golden light curtain, blocking the violent storm at the other end. On one side was a cruel and ruthless storm of destruction, and on the other side was calm.

"Hello? The negotiations broke down? Do we want to fight?" Diego asked Aslan with a frown. This time the negotiation was led by Aslan, and they were just accompanying guards.

"Speaker Sarah... go ahead and hit me. You can't take a beating without fighting back!" Isaac's expression was also very complicated. Originally a pro-war faction, Isaac still respected Patrick Sarah very much, but after so many years of tempering, he also knew what was more important. The other party's attitude was already very clear. If he continued to argue, it would damage the interests of the Promise Legion.

"Aslan... let's go back." Even the gentlest Nicol began to persuade him. He didn't want the situation to develop to this point, but there was no way. As a member of the Promise Legion, he had to put the interests of the legion first, and... Patrick Sala was not the person he knew.

"Aslan..." Kira was waiting for Aslan's decision, but at the same time he was prepared, whether it was to protect everyone's retreat or to directly participate in the battle, while also preventing Aslan from doing anything stupid.

Zhen, Mayu and Lei were quietly waiting for orders. They were not familiar with Patrick Sala, and from the moment the other party launched the attack, they had been labeled as enemies.

"... Let's go and obey the orders of Captain Lamias." It was painful, but Aslan had to bear it. He was not only the son of Patrick Sala, but also the A-level ace of the Promise Legion. Maru agreed to let him come to negotiate again, which was already giving him face. Now that the situation has developed to this point, if he still insists, it would not be shamelessness, but betrayal.

"Well, that's a pity."

"Tsk, you're still such a coward!"

"Whoo~"

Diego felt it was a pity, and Isaac was disappointed. The opponent had already attacked directly, so they should have attacked directly as the vanguard of the fleet. Now they had to return to the fleet. Wasn't it obviously a waste of opportunity and gave the opponent another chance?
Nicol and Kira were relieved. On the one hand, Aslan did not make a mistake, and on the other hand, Aslan could avoid participating in this battle.

"Ding ding ding..." At this moment, everyone received a telegram from the Archangel.

"Gegenangriff (counterattack) return to [Archangel] immediately, others will immediately launch a counterattack, and fleet support will follow in 3 minutes."

"Wow! As expected of Commander Lamias."

"That's right! Aslan, go back now and don't get in the way here!"

Diego and Isaac admired Mariu's decisiveness. A battle had just taken place here and the order that best suited the current situation had arrived.

"...Understood." Athrun was silent for a moment, nodded, and began to retreat while driving [Justice Gegenangriff (Counterattack)]. Before leaving, he took a special look at [Freedom Wache (Guard)], "Kira, I'm counting on you."

"Well, don't worry." Although he didn't say it explicitly, Kira understood what Aslan asked him to do. Even in the current Prometheus Legion, only Kira still kept the habit of cutting people with sticks.

"Up!"

[Justice Gegenangriff (Counterattack)] retreated, [Freedom Wache (Guard)] immediately cancelled the light curtain, and all the planes rushed up at the fastest speed, launching a fierce attack on the enemy fleet.

……

Compared to Moon No. 1, which directly started an annihilation operation, and Moon No. 3, which first negotiated and then started a reserved war, Moon No. 2, where the Third Fleet and the Twenty-Third Fleet were located, was in between the two.

"The enemy's right formation is in disarray. Commander Tynprester requests a breakthrough of the enemy's position and a direct attack on Moon No. 2!"

"Approved. Send the 9th and 10th MS Space Strike Groups to support the 23rd Fleet and clear the way for them."

"learn!"

"Intensify the attack on the front and left wing, and don't give them the opportunity to support the right wing!"

"Commander! High-energy reaction detected on Moon No. 2, initially estimated to be at the fortress artillery level!"

“【玄武级】3号、4号、5号舰在舰队正面散开，GN离场最大限度展开！6号、7号、8号舰在后方5公里处做好准备！”

"learn!"

The next second, a torrent of energy rushed from Moon No. 2 to the front of the Second Fleet, smashing the emerald green GN force field like a sledgehammer. "Crackling" sounds continued to ring out, but the crumbling wall of light still held on until the torrent began to dissipate, and then it shattered.
