Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 705: Requiem for the Dead (Part )
The sudden attack ended with the regret that Mu and others did not achieve their full success. Although the number of troops participating in the Millennium's trial voyage was less than half of the First Fleet, the entire arrangement was the best response that Baki Lulu could make with the existing resources. In the end, Cruze still managed to escape unscathed, which made her look somewhat unhappy.

This battle fully proved that the gap between UACE and ordinary soldiers is further widening. As an excellent commander, Bakilulu is very clear that this is not a benign change. In fact, since the meteor, ordinary soldiers have basically lost their ability to resist, and the emergence of the solar furnace and the rapid development of MS technology have further magnified this feeling of powerlessness.

"If war can become a game for a few people, perhaps professional soldiers like us will soon be out of work."

"Colonel Alexei, please be aware of your identity and the occasion where you speak!"

Since it was just a small-scale encounter, there was basically nothing that needed to be "cleaned" on the entire battlefield. However, out of her usual caution, Baki Lulu still arranged for Mu to lead the search team to do some cleanup work. At this time, she was waiting for Jiang Kelly to submit a combat report in the port of May City. As a result, Alexei, her deputy, accidentally stepped on her minefield with a word.

"cough"

Yuri Amalfi coughed lightly to ease the awkward atmosphere. As the member of the PLANT closest to the People's Revolutionary League and also the father of a red-shirted man, he obviously heard Bakilulu's subtext.

"If that really happens, ordinary troops will become meaningless. As long as the enemy wants, they can attack us at any time like today. At that time, I think the People's Revolutionary League will feel the same fear as when the PLANT faced the threat of nuclear bombs."

Although the atmosphere in the command tower had been somewhat relaxed thanks to Senator Amalfi's efforts to resolve the situation, Bakilulu's eyes, hidden by the brim of her hat, still revealed an extremely solemn look. Apart from Mu, who was still cleaning up the battlefield, she was one of the only two people in the entire May City who knew that Siegfried was unconscious. In other words, she was very clear that the Tianren, who was given high hopes, did not have the absolute strength to crush Luo Pan.

Today's battle has explained a lot of problems. King vs. King will be an unavoidable problem in the process of clearing the Compass. Even if Mu Neng and Lao are in a stalemate, in the Solomon Orbital Elevator terrorist attack, Siegfried's copy and Orphee both appeared in front of the world driving new machines. According to the reports submitted by Canard and Shin Asuka afterwards, at least these two people said that they did not test Tria's true strength in that brief confrontation.

Not to mention the inexplicable death of Shura and the missing Kira. Considering that Lacus almost died on the way to escape, and Kira did not show up in that situation, Bakilulu had already put the familiar 'Lieutenant Yamato' into the enemy list according to her habit.

"Send a copy of the battle record to Granada. I need Veda's assistance. At least I need to know how many lives must be lost to offset the generation gap caused by personal ability."

As an old comrade who escaped from Heliopolis together, Bakilulu can be said to be a witness who has seen Kira and Siegfried grow step by step to their current level. At that time, Strike could already protect itself successfully under the siege of two or three G-series aircraft, and Siegfried almost killed Thunderbolt while driving Ginn.

But the two of them were still far from invincible at that time. Even after switching to Freedom and Covenant, Kira and Siegfried still had the possibility of being defeated. But to this day, Bakilulu can no longer calculate how many trump cards she needs to stack up to stop humanoid monsters like them. She even feels that even if the ACEs of the Old Alliance come together, they may not be a match for Kira.

At the same time, she was somewhat relieved that in this war, at least Aslan was on their side, and Shin Asuka had gradually grown into the backbone of the Celestial Beings. At least with these two people plus Mu, the Celestial Beings could block Luo Pan's three trump cards. The answer she wanted to get was how many lives she, as a commander, needed to fill this huge combat power vacuum at a time when Siegfried was very likely unable to participate in the war.

"Major Vlada sent a message saying that a Bit left by the enemy seemed to have been found, and he has arranged for someone to send it back!" Bakilulu's expression became serious. After Mina cut off almost all of Compass's supply channels, she knew very well that time was back in their hands again.

There seem to be multiple choices left in front of Luo Pan, but as time goes by, their combat effectiveness and fighting will will become worse and worse without supplies, so Luo Pan has only one choice to counterattack as soon as possible. At this point, any intelligence about the opponent may enable the Revolutionary League to win this civil war with fewer casualties in the near future.

Three hours later, after submitting the battle report, Mu and Jiang Kelly were reviewing the recent battle. Unexpectedly, Senator Amalfi's technical team brought some puzzling news.

"There's an encrypted message? How is that possible? That's L. Lu Cruze. What kind of bullshit message would he leave behind? Could it be some virus that would immediately paralyze the fleet's command system once it's decrypted?"

"Major, science is very rigorous. At least our technical team did not find what you said. However, to be on the safe side, I think it is better to send this news and the parts to Granada as soon as possible. They have the best quantum computers and the best scientists. Even if it is a Pandora's box, I believe that lady is capable of handling it properly."

Of course, there is one thing that Congressman Amalfi did not explain. As May City is the area where the battle took place, he does not think he is the right person to crack the code, even though there are witnesses like Bakilulu and others. And his friend Congressman Elsman’s experience happened not long ago. As the representative of May City, he does not want to leave more unstable factors in his own territory.

After a brief thought, Bakilulu nodded in agreement to the proposal. No matter what Lao left on Bit, Granada should be the first place to know it, so she asked the Regeneration Gundam to set off immediately after a brief replenishment. Mu needed to balance the CD time of the three reds along the way and deliver the things to Hilde in the shortest possible time.

Shortly after the Reborn Gundam rushed back to Granada, Hilde took a quick look at the damaged Bit and discovered that the encryption method on it was actually written by Law. Considering that Law had been missing for nearly a year, she immediately mobilized Veda's computing power to crack the encryption program.

In just half an hour, Hilde completely deciphered the secret message that Law left for her, but when she arrived at the Granada headquarters with the news, she found that Cagalli was looking at a light spot on the radar as if facing a great enemy.

"The message Luo left behind is for us to strengthen our vigilance against Requiem"

"That's too late."

"What do you mean?"

"Strike Freedom, here we come!"
