Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1218: Farewell and reunion!

Mars transfer orbit.

The combined fleet consisting of Tianren, the Third Fleet and the Vanguard Fleet ushered in the moment of separation here.

A little further ahead is the space area where the support fleet sent by the Earth Federation Army is located.

Although the alliance between Celestial Being and the Earth Federation Army has been tacitly agreed upon by the Earth Federation Army's top brass and the Earth Federation Parliament, properly avoiding suspicion will allow both sides to gain more independent space in future interactions.

But at this moment, some people are reluctant to leave.

In the medical room of Ptolemy II, Shaci looked at Louise reluctantly, who had recovered a lot of her complexion but was still very weak.

During this period, Louise almost pushed herself to the edge of the cliff. If she took another half step forward, she would be on the edge of no return. This allowed her to gain the strength to complete her mission.

"Louise."

The order to return to the team has been transmitted through Sachi's communicator several times, but Sachi has not responded at all.

"Sachi, go ahead! I'm here, it's okay."

Louise smiled weakly.

"The Celestial Beings won't hurt me. Besides, you're a soldier of the Earth Federation now."

"I, Louise, I..."

"Shaci. Thank you. You kept your promise, so now it's my promise. Before the decisive battle, I will take good care of myself, and then I will see you on the battlefield."

Louise slowly raised her hand, placed it on Shaci's right hand, and spoke softly.

"We have no way of knowing what will happen in the decisive battle six months from now, but before that, I promise you that I will take good care of myself. Then, I will face that moment with you."

"Louise."

Shaci opened his mouth, and finally nodded slowly, stood up, and looked at Louise for a long time. Then he turned around and walked to the door again. He turned around and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Louise.

Louise playfully raised her index finger, put it in front of her mouth, made a gesture of silence, then smiled and said.

"I heard from Miss Huang and Luanfeng that the more important the moment is, the more you should not make promises easily. Otherwise, it is likely to have the opposite effect. Well, Mr. Luanfeng seems to call this the FLGA."

Shaci was speechless for a moment and had no answer.

In the end, Shaci smiled helplessly and sighed slightly.

"Okay. Then, Louise. Take good care of yourself. See you in half a year!"

"I promise you! Shaci. You fulfilled your promise, so now it's my turn to fulfill mine."

Ten minutes later, Shaci received the order to rejoin the fleet and drove his Doom IV back to the flagship of the Third Fleet, going his separate ways from Ptolemy II and Trinity.

The next time we met was half a year later.

After separating from the Third Fleet, Ptolemy II and the Trinity mothership successfully reunited with Ptolemy I in an empty space near the transfer orbit of Mars.

"It seems like we have made this trip in vain from beginning to end!"

The Lockon brothers, Setsuna, Allelujah, and Mari, who rushed over from Ptolemy I, couldn't help but complain as soon as they entered the combat meeting room.

"That can't be helped. Our machines have all been put into maintenance mode."

Allelujah tried to smooth things over.

To be honest, it was really hard to watch my friends fighting on Jupiter, but I had to postpone my departure because my machine was not offline for a long time, and I ended up missing the battle on Jupiter.

"Ranfeng. Is it true that the ELS's actions are controlled by the "plague"?"

Setsuna didn't pay attention to this, but focused on ELS's actions.

"Yes. It has been confirmed. In the next six months, ELS will not leave the Jupiter Universe. However, after six months, or even shorter, the main force of ELS may appear in the Jupiter Universe."

He Ming looked at Kujo Lisa, and Kujo Lisa immediately briefly explained the situation at that time to her companions who were unable to participate in the battle.

After listening carefully to the review, everyone had different expressions.

Except for He Ming and Tieria and other reformers, everyone fell silent.

Setsuna, Lockon, and Lyle, the three Skyman Gundam pilots who successfully evolved into Transformers, all focused their attention on the main force of ELS.

"Luanfeng, once the main force of ELS appears, it is possible that ELS's action will be advanced?"

Lockon frowned, thinking of this possibility.

"Yes. This is what we are worried about. According to VEDA's calculations, the probability of this possibility becoming a reality is very high. Therefore, both VEDA and the Earth Federation Congress have set the time for the decisive battle to be six months later."

He Ming slowed down and continued.

"Of course. If ELS is still on Jupiter after half a year, then the extra time will be earned as interest."

"This isn't good news! But, at least it's not bad news either."

Lockon shrugged his shoulders and gave a secret signal to He Ming.

Obviously, Lockon also guessed Maya and the others' actions.

"Well, no matter what, this half year is an opportunity for the Earth Federation, and also an opportunity for us Celestial Beings. Setsuna, Lockon, Lyle, Allelujah, and Mary, your new machines are not yet fully capable of participating in actual combat, so I hope you can complete them as quickly as possible in this half year."

He Ming turned his gaze towards Shan Na.

"Setsuna, especially you, your body is particularly important. The Earth Federation is stepping up the work of training transformers. I believe that in future battlefields, we will have more transformers to help us face the attack of ELS together."

"But, based on this, your 00Q will become a key link in the entire network of changemakers in an instant, and you cannot afford to be careless in the slightest."

"Yes! Got it! Luanfeng, please leave it to me!"

Setsuna nodded solemnly in response.

"Well, this meeting will end here. Everyone, in the next six months, the Celestial Beings will not have any large-scale operations. Therefore, I hope that everyone will focus on perfecting their bodies and preparing for war!"

"Yes!"

As He Ming finished speaking, everyone responded in unison.

After everyone left, Iolia, who had been watching on the communication channel, spoke slowly.

"I didn't expect the Supreme to have such a unique understanding of ELS research. By using the changes in the force field, the metal life forms were made to suffer from the "plague" symptoms similar to those of carbon-based organisms when they were infected with a virus."

Aeolia hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed.

“This may be the first lesson humans learn as they travel into deep space after future conversations.”

"Maybe! The universe is extremely vast and has many mysteries waiting for humans. What we need to do now is to successfully get through the conversation in half a year!"
