Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 708 Lux

The news of Requiem's ​​destruction swept across the Earth like a swift storm. As the last bilaterally recognized "map cannon" left after the war, Requiem was transformed from the "culprit of human destruction" into the sword of Damocles for the ambitious. As long as this weapon exists, every speaker of the PLANT must carefully consider the possibility of their country being destroyed before going crazy.

Now that Requiem was destroyed by Strike Freedom, the First Fleet, which had already landed on Earth for joint unified operations, was forced to receive a recall order. With only two years of buffer, Bugilulu didn't believe that those adjusters would just accept their fate. Originally, with Requiem, the First Fleet could have been divided into two groups. Now Bugilulu can only use its military advantage to suppress PLANT's ambitions.

At the same time, Mina's troops began to be stretched due to the butterfly effect. The ground forces were in the process of reconstruction, and the original main attack force had to return to the garrison area. For a time, all ground military tasks fell into the hands of A-Laws.

Mina, who realized that the situation seemed to be getting out of control, immediately called a halt to the joint unified operation. Except for the Atlantic Union, which had already submitted a letter of surrender, the People's Revolutionary League rejected most of the applications for member states. Mina knew very well that many of these countries just wanted to take advantage of the benefits of the orbital elevator, and they were unable to resist the People's Revolutionary League militarily, so they chose to bow their heads. The most important thing at the moment was to do a good job of appeasing North and South America.

If we hastily agree to the joining of other countries with ulterior motives, it will only increase the internal management contradictions of the People's Revolutionary League. Only by digesting North America, the LOGOS stronghold, as soon as possible can we fundamentally eliminate the way for the earth to provide blood transfusion to the compass.

A few days later, as Granada lost its military strike capability, Cagalli brought Hilde back to Orb from the moon. The Extraordinary Strike Freedom's attack accurately cut off the power source of Requiem, but did not cause a large-scale explosion. After an on-site investigation, Hilde found that the part of Requiem that was hit was not destroyed by the explosion, but seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. This result directly confirmed that the Defender of Glory, which once only existed in the plan, has become a reality.

"So this is the situation. Since Kira attacked the People's Revolutionary League's military base, Mina decided to put him on a separate wanted list. However, considering the combat effectiveness of the Strike Freedom, the possibility of successfully capturing him is not great. Tianren's primary goal is to destroy Luo Pan. I hope you can..."

"I understand Mina's decision, don't worry."

At the Asha Mansion, Cagalli was sitting in front of Lacus with an embarrassed look on her face, while Hilde was rapidly typing on the keyboard on the sofa next to her. Before confronting Lacus, Cagalli had already prepared herself mentally for the other party to beg for mercy. After all, in terms of identity, one of them was Kira's blood relative, and the other was a soul mate. The use of a relatively mild word like arrest was the result of Cagalli's best efforts to coordinate with Mina using the reason of 'no casualties'.

Of course, Mina knew that with the combat power that Strike Freedom had shown on the Moon, the safest way was to let Aslan take the initiative to use the combat power of the entire Celestial Being to encircle and suppress Kira. However, compared to Kira, who "did not kill", Luo Pan, who was suspected to have four top combat powers, needed the assistance of the Celestial Beings more. Between two evils, she chose the lesser of two evils, and Mina knew that even if Aslan provided assistance, it was unknown whether he could be ruthless to Kira, so she did not choose to make things difficult for the Celestial Beings.

But Requiem is gone, and as the new leader, it is impossible for Mina to act as if nothing happened. A hunting order with a lower priority is the result of Mina weighing the pros and cons.

"We can't be sure yet whether his actions are related to the compass, but Lacus, you know that during the Scandinavian mutant riot, someone used the control of mutants to launch an attack in exchange for Kira's departure, so."

“I am also very clear about this.”

The keyboard tapping sound stopped abruptly. Hilde looked up at Lux with a slightly strange look. After a moment, Lux touched her face and asked first, "What's wrong, Sister Hilde?"

"Your emotions are not right."

"mood?"

"From what I've learned, I know that given your relationship with Kira, you shouldn't be so calm after hearing the news. So, that's not right."

As Hilde's cold voice fell, the originally harmonious atmosphere in the room froze instantly. Before meeting Lacus, Cagalli had made several plans in her mind, so that she would not be at a loss when Lacus begged for mercy. As a result, two consecutive pieces of news did not cause any fluctuations in Lacus's emotions. Cagalli was a little strange at first, but now after Hilde's words, she also reacted. Lacus's attitude was a little too calm, so calm that Cagalli felt weird. "I used to not understand the feeling of losing a loved one, but Siegfried is lying there now, so I gradually realized that a strange emotion began to surge in my heart. I looked up a lot of information, and the answers I got were not unified. Maybe it was anger, maybe it was sadness, but I know that among these emotions, there is no calmness."

"I didn't lose Kira!!!"

Lux's voice was high-pitched and sharp, which was almost impossible for a singer. This voice was like a sharp knife, forcibly piercing the calm that the three people had carefully maintained.

"I haven't lost Kira! I'm going to get him back!"

"He is now a wanted criminal."

"I will bring him back"

"As long as the People's Revolutionary League exists, he will be a wanted criminal."

"I will bring him back"

Empty eyes, murmuring replies, just like puppets controlled by strings on the stage. The few short sentences of conversation seemed to have exhausted all of Lacus's strength. Cagalli stood up and sat down several times. She wanted to say something to comfort the person, but suddenly she found that she was not much better than the person she was comforting. For a moment, the three women in the room fell silent abruptly.

"Go see Siegfried."

After a moment, Hilde closed the computer tightly, her slightly red eyes seemed to be telling that her heart was not as calm as she looked.

"elder sister?"

"You always believed that Siegfried could see the future of the world. Go see him, and maybe you'll find your own answer."

After saying that, Hilde stood up and walked to the door. Cagalli, who seemed to understand, quickly followed her. Then only Lacus was left in the room, with her long hair covering her face. At the same moment the two walked out of the room, a faint cry was heard from inside the room.

"I will bring him back"
