Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 722 The Last Twelve Hours (Part )

Perhaps due to the tuner's lingering sense of pride, Luo Pan gave the People's Revolutionary League 12 hours to think, but Mina gave a reply in less than an hour.

Afterwards, Tria decisively ordered to start pushing Genesis towards the earth. Perhaps it was a destined coincidence. After Veda's calculations, the time it took for the fortress to reach the critical point was exactly twelve hours.

Under the Yu Neng Golu Island, this is the core of the Aurora Society. Even though the entire production line of the Aurora Society has been moved to Granada after the war, many old employees still habitually regard the old location of the Aurora Society as the pinnacle of human technology.

The reason is simple, simply because this is Hilde's permanent residence. At a moment when the entire Orb received an evacuation order, the talented girl who is responsible for the human interstellar development plan and the direction of the transformer evolution is still calmly sorting out materials in her office.

"Director, the evacuation notice has been issued. The special car arranged by Lady Mina is at the door. We will go directly to the Gaburo base in South America as planned later until..."

"Lucette, I won't leave."

Looking at the assistant who had followed him for four years, Hilde connected the orbital prediction of Genesis to the computer in the Prime Minister's Office, raised his head and adjusted his blue light glasses, but his tone was no longer the coldness that Lucette was familiar with.

"But Director."

Before Lucette could finish her words, she felt as if she was bitten by a mosquito on the neck, and then a feeling of weakness immediately swept over her body. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Hilde stood up and jumped to Lucette's side at a speed that was inconsistent with a scientific worker, then reached out and held her shoulders to prevent her from knocking over the corner of the table.

"director."

"No more sad drama. Erica will take you away from Orb later. Now just have a good sleep."

Hilde waited until the girl's breathing in his arms gradually stabilized before slowly helping her to sit on the chair. Then he said to the dark door, "Lucette, I'm leaving it to you. I have sorted out all the information about the Drestrega. If I can't come back, you just need to develop it according to the plan to complete the battleship."

Erica Simmons' figure flashed from the darkness. She knew very well that she could not persuade Hilde, but until she took Lucette from her, the current president of the Dawn Society moved her lips slightly, obviously wanting to try again.

"Siegfried and I were born together in Mendel. I was born first and he was born later, so I am the older sister."

"Hilde you."

Noticing Erica's expression, Hilde did not refuse directly. Instead, she talked about her past with Siegfried for the first time.

"At that time, no one taught me how to be a human being. I didn't understand what human emotions were like because I had no one to learn from. And with this confusion, I rejected Siegfried's request to leave more than once."

In the darkness, Erica couldn't see Hilde's expression, but the cold voice reached her ears word for word.

"I thought he would be angry and ignore me, but he still went out every day with a smile on his face to collect some junk that he would never use. Until that day, he said to me seriously, 'Hilde, let's go home together!' That was the first time I felt like I had a family."

"Later, for some reason, I forced him to do many things he didn't want to do, but in the end, he was still willing to use his life to keep me in this world. It was at that time that I seemed to understand that humans can have such strong and passionate emotions, the intensity of which can even cross the barriers of dimensions."

"I don't know where Siegfried is now. Maybe he is in a very far place, but this is Siegfried's home. I can't let him lose his way home!"

"At this juncture, you tell me that not only are you not leaving, but you're also going to drive the Heretic Amaterasu to the universe?"

In the Prime Minister's residence, Mina slammed the table with her hand, her anger evident in her words, while the person she scolded rubbed her head innocently and leaned on the balcony. The sunset reflected on the sea surface and her blonde hair gradually merged into one. Her tone and expression were so relaxed, as if she was not talking about a life-and-death battle, but just discussing a spring outing.

"You want me to go to South America and watch Genesis fall, and after you die for your country, I will call on the remnants of the People's Revolutionary Union and the PLANT to fight against the Compass?" "This is the plan that best suits Orb's interests, and it is also the best solution once Genesis falls."

"Then how should I spend the rest of my life? Mina, I will go to the memorial every day to look at your electronic portrait. Oh no, by that time, Orb will be gone, so there won't be any memorial."

The corners of Cagalli's mouth slightly raised, and this expression suddenly reminded Mina of a certain sharp-tongued guy.

Obviously it was a good thing, but whenever that guy put on this smile, Mina would feel an inexplicable anger in her heart. The key point was that the other party didn't think he was wrong. Every time he was scolded, he always laughed and tried to get away with it.

"Why are you still as childish as before?"

"Because I'm Cagalli, Siegfried's wife, and the heir of the Asha family. I've already escaped once five years ago. Do you still want me to escape again? Chairman Lund Mina Sahak!"

The girl's voice was resounding, the sea breeze lifted the corners of her clothes, and the sunlight fell on Cagalli's body, like a red-gold scroll. In a trance, Mina seemed to have returned to the scene when she first met Uzumi when she was young.

It was in this reception room that the young Sahak siblings first saw the Orb lion. He stood in the sun, his strong body casting a shadow in the house. Young Mina raised her head blankly, and only heard the introduction of the Sahak chieftain.

“This is Uzmi Nara Asghar.”

"I am Cagalli Nara Asha!"

At this moment, it was difficult for Mina to describe the feeling in words. It was as if the memories of many years ago were roaring out from the depths of her heart. The mottled fragments gradually pieced together, and the obsession with the Asha family in her youth gradually faded under the wash of memories.

"You shouldn't do this." Mina felt a little dizzy, but for some reason, her heart, which had been a little helpless when facing life and death, slowly calmed down at this moment.

"There are so many things that should and shouldn't be done in this world. Hilde once told me that it's hard to find a female character like me in other planes she knows. I look like a tomboy, I'm stubborn and can't comfort people, and my driving skills and political skills are at the level of ordinary people. Compared to Lux, I'm not a competent girlfriend, nor a qualified battlefield assistant."

“Not that bad actually”

"Ask yourself, if I were Siegfried, I would definitely choose Lux given the advantage of being a prophet, so that my disappointing brother wouldn't have to make her so sad. And if our story was also a movie, I think the audience would be more willing to see Lux as the heroine. Sometimes even I think so."

The more Mina listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Today, Cagalli seemed bolder than ever before. Such unorthodox words would never have come out of her mouth in the past.

"But that idiot chose me, Mina, you know? Back in Heliopolis, he could lie to me three times a minute, but before the launch of Genesis, he still told me that Siegfried liked Cagalli, so if there must be something, I should do it."

Reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her golden hair was as dazzling as the sun. Cagalli's eyes were firm and resolute, "If there is something I should do, it's now. As long as I am alive for even a second, I will never allow that broken thing to fall on Orb's head!"

"Minna, do you remember what I said when I went to court to snatch my husband?"

“Which one?”

"It is said that every princess in a fairy tale has a hero who saves her. Now, I tell you that the reckless princess of the Asha family must put on armor herself to protect her and the hero's hometown!"
