Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 711 Sorrow Warrior
Taking the destruction of Requiem as the time node, half a month later, a reorganized MS unit was airlifted to Berlin by the Garo-class. The People's Revolutionary League, which had been stagnant for a long time, once again took the step of unified combat. The most striking thing was that most of the middle and upper-level officers of this unit were transferred from the First Fleet.

At the same time, the reconstruction plan of North America was in full swing, and Mina began to fulfill his political promises as scheduled. Many giant metropolitan areas, including Washington, were replaced by government officials sent by the People's Revolutionary League. With the assistance of Veda, Mina implemented the concept of breaking up and restructuring in the appointment of local officials.

In the city of Washington alone, the mayor was transferred from a top leader with an East Asian background, but his deputy was an official sent by the kingdom. It was from this move that the boundaries between Orb, Scandinavia, East Asia and South America gradually blurred. Although North America is the area most affected by the neutron jammer, as long as the construction of the orbital elevator in South America is completed, this area will enter a spiraling fast lane both economically and politically in the foreseeable future.

On the other hand, at Lacus's suggestion, Ingrid's awakening was not announced to the public by Orb. In order to avoid putting too much pressure on her, Mina and Cagalli even placed Ingrid in an orphanage on the Island of Dawn, where she met the transformed Mia for the first time.

Time slowly entered summer, and the island climate of Orb became somewhat unbearably hot, so after returning to the Island of Dawn, Mia shortened the children's daily outdoor activities. It was okay for others, but the four orphans brought back from Berlin by Siegfried gave Mia a headache.

"If anyone sneaks out to play at the beach again at night, all outdoor activities will be cancelled starting tomorrow!"

Mia, with her long orange-pink hair tied into a bun at the back of her head, wiped the sweat off her forehead and gave the children a final ultimatum. If Ingrid hadn't accidentally read their minds last night, if someone got into an accident at the beach in the middle of the night, no one would be able to save them.

"Sister Mia is so fierce~"

"That's right, Sister Mia, find a boyfriend!"

"It must be because Brother Siegfried hasn't been here for a long time, so he's taking his anger out on us~"

"I think you two deserve a beating!!!"

As the children dispersed, Mia put her hands on her hips and took a breath, then turned to look at the blue-haired girl and asked casually, "Children of this age are the most difficult to manage. They say they don't understand, but they know everything, but what they know is not so clear. They always like to apply their own views to the whole world. Oh, sorry, I'm not making any insinuations."

"It's okay. I'm already grateful that Orb is willing to take in a stray dog ​​like me. Don't worry about it."

After hearing Ingrid's self-introduction, Mia frowned, untied her apron, took her hand and walked into the house. The temperature difference in the room made Ingrid sneeze involuntarily. Seeing this, Mia took out a shawl from the hanger and handed it to her.

"According to your theory, Lux and I are both lost dogs. You shouldn't be so critical of others, right?"

"That's not what I meant. It's just..."

"You should have heard of my story, Mia Campbell. Oh no, it should be the story of the fake Lux."

As Orphee's right-hand man and the only political officer when the Tuner first came into contact with the world, Ingrid knew everything about Lux's experience, including, of course, the information about the impostor Mia.

However, Van Dysen is an emerging country after all, and there is a natural lag in its intelligence system. So when Ingrid heard Mia's account of her encounter with Siegfried and her choice to become Lux in order to stand by the side of the person she admired, she, who had almost the same experience of secret love, was involuntarily involved.

"Because I have experienced life and death, I understand that if I continue to do something, it will hurt everyone, so I choose the life I am living now."

Lying on her back beside Ingrid's legs, Mia's hair touched Ingrid's skin, making her feel uncomfortable. After moving her thighs slightly, she continued to ask with some doubt: "But you clearly felt embarrassed and angry just now."

"Ahem, are all Tuners so rude~" "Sorry, I just said that subconsciously..."

Looking at Ingrid who was hurriedly apologizing with some amusement, Mia twisted a strand of hair with her index finger, and after hesitating for a while, she touched the other person's head and gave her own reply.

"In fact, giving up doesn't mean disliking it. I know Siegfried hates fighting from the bottom of his heart. He even hates himself for only pulling the trigger. That's why I have to work hard to promote Mia Campbell, hoping to provide him with a little help."

"Feel sorry."

"I understand that you don't want to betray Orphie, but you know very well why the parents of those four children died in Berlin. How many more people do we have to kill? How many more children and puppies do we have to kill indirectly?"

The sudden high-pitched voice made Ingrid feel at a loss, but Mia kept holding her hand tightly, so that she couldn't even run away. The laughter of children came from outside the door. At this moment, Ingrid felt for the first time that the laughter that should have been pure and innocent had become a little harsh.

[Sorrow, a heart-shaking sorrow]

【Let me sing this farewell song again】

The brisk rhythm that sounded out of nowhere, but the lyrics were extremely cruel, and along with the resonance of the reformer, it kept hitting Ingrid's heart.
In a daze, she seemed to be back in Berlin again, back to the city full of starving people. Just because of Orphee's order, tens of millions of refugees became bargaining chips in Van Dyson's hands. Even those sleeping petri dishes, how many samples were consumed? Thinking of this, Ingrid felt a chill to the bone.

【I pray, pray to bring near the New Day】

"I know where Orphie is hiding!"

At the same time, a message sent by PLANT finally reached Lux.

After destroying Requiem, Strike Freedom did not stop its steps, and Kira was also perfectly "fulfilling" his promise. The PLANT homeland garrison fleet became his next target. In just ten minutes, Strike Freedom defeated Izak's fully armored pirates, and the weapons and power systems of the five accompanying warships were all destroyed.

Considering Kira's relationship with Lacus and Cagalli, the current Speaker Walter asked whether to include Strike Freedom in the joint wanted list, and he gave the choice to Lacus.

At the same time, Speaker Walter also emphasized that there have been casualties in this attack. No matter how sophisticated Kira's driving skills are, it is normal for one or two people to die in the explosion of the battleship's power system. He cannot guarantee that if the attack continues, more ZAFT soldiers will die under Kira's mercy gun.

Two days later, Lacus returned to PLANT with Hilda and ND. At the same time, at the suggestion of Senator Amalfi, Lacus directly entered the Council with more than half of the support and successfully obtained the position of Foreign Affairs Committee member of Irene Canaba.

A day later, ZAFT's flagship, the Eternal, arrived in April City. With the assistance of Captain Barutfield, Lacus boarded the Eternal again. The First Fleet, which had learned the news in advance, voluntarily gave up the defense zone. From then on, the Eternal became the only defensive force in front of the PLANT capital.

In the dark universe, a beam flag slowly rose from behind the bridge of the Eternal. From the fleet commander Bugilulu to the citizens of April City, everyone looked at the content of the flag in great surprise.
"Lacus Clyne is here!"
