Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1998: Each Person's Deployment!

"I have already learned the details."

Rebil personally came to the Judgment and, after a detailed conversation with He Ming, fell into deep thought.

"I never imagined that the next time I heard the term 'conflict factor,' it would be because the other party identified you as one of them."

"This is indeed unexpected intelligence."

He Ming nodded in agreement, and he also sensed something unusual in the other party's attitude.

Char Aznabul, who comes from the future, doesn't seem to be on the same page as those Grimaces.

"Colonel Ming, do you find this believable?"

“No. I have no evidence to prove that this Char Aznabul is credible.”

Clearly, Reibell was also speculating about the meaning behind Char's (Neo Zeon) act of revealing information to their face that shouldn't have been known to them, his pawns.

Judging from the Ghost Faces' repeated actions, most of the forces they threw into this chaotic spacetime from different timelines are just pawns, pawns that cause more chaos and push this chaotic spacetime toward destruction.

This was true for both the Holy Britannian Empire and subsequent powers.

Especially after Queen Zanskar submitted, He Ming learned from her the truth that everyone in the Zanskar Empire had been lured to this world by members of the Ghost Faces under some pretext, and then their home world was destroyed.

Therefore, when Char (Neo Zeon) pointed out the source of the conflict to his face, Heming was surprised.

From this perspective, it's easy to see that Char (Neo Zeon) seems to hold a higher position in the hearts of the Demon Faces than ordinary pawns.

Otherwise, they would not be informed of the existence of conflict factors.

It seems that some of the Grimace's executives have already extended invitations to Char (Neo Zeon).

Just like Doctor Hell who disappeared again.

Aside from the elusive and mysterious Ghost Faces, probably no one could take a living human away unnoticed while surrounded by the Earth Federation Forces.

“I feel the same way. Regardless of whether Char Aznable has any other intentions, Axis is indeed falling towards Earth right now. That is a reality, and an undeniable truth.”

Rebil raised his hand and pulled up his military cap, his sharp gaze peering out from under the brim at the void outside the porthole—Axis, enveloped in an energy field, was steadily approaching Earth.

"Regardless of their intentions, our mission now is to stop Axis from falling."

Rebil continued.

"We've made contact with Djamitov. He's willing to provide cover for the upcoming general offensive. But there are conditions."

"A natural outcome."

He Ming was not surprised by this.

If Djamitov were to raise the banner of fighting for humanity and protecting the Earth at all costs at this time, He Ming would probably suspect that Djamitov was plotting something.

"Yes, Gop and I promised him that we would no longer interfere in the affairs of the Titans after the Axis crash crisis is over."

"Really? But will he live that long?"

He Ming sneered.

Although he had expected it, He Ming still couldn't help but feel a surge of murderous intent when Rebil stated this condition.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it using the idiom "taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

"Let's deal with the immediate crisis first! Besides, the enemy already knows about Djamitov's colony satellite cannon. Otherwise, this energy shield wouldn't have been able to remain active for so long."

----------

During this time, Char (Neo Zeon) was not idle; he was just waiting for Amuro to come and fight him with his new mobile suit.

To the left and right of the Neo Zeon fleet were Death Vanguard warships arriving from both sides' hiding places.

His previous open challenge to Amuro, though seemingly frivolous, was actually a prelude to waiting for more reinforcements to arrive.

Because the surprise that Djamitov's colony satellite cannon had given Char (Neo Zeon) so much had brought back many buried memories. He didn't like that feeling.

Therefore, waiting for more reinforcements to arrive was his primary option.

"Commander-in-Chief Char. The Death Vanguard fleet has basically arrived. In addition, the Special Operations Team, with the help of Mr. T, has successfully arrived near Geplis and is awaiting Commander-in-Chief Char's orders."

Dorell Rona strode into the bridge and respectfully reported to Char (Neo Zeon).

With Ironface focused on internal Axis matters, Dorell Rona became the intermediary between Neo Zeon and the Death Vanguard.

"Hmm, very good! Captain Dorell, you did a great job."

Char (Neo Zeon) nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes! Thank you very much for the praise, Commander-in-Chief! I have only completed the task that was to be completed!"

Dorell Ronner stood at attention and replied.

"Haha! Don't be so formal, Dorell. You can relax a little outside of missions."

Char (Neo Zeon) patted Dorell Rona on the shoulder and asked with concern.

"I wonder how Lord Mazia Rona is feeling lately?"

"Yes! Lord Mazia has been in a very good mood lately. Especially after learning that Axis easily withstood the Titans' colony cannons, Lord Mazia couldn't help but have a few more drinks."

Mazia Rona replied respectfully.

"Hehe. Is that so? Well then, after achieving final victory, I hope Lord Mazia Rona won't mind me asking him for a few drinks to celebrate?"

Char (Neo Zeon) laughed heartily.

"If Lord Mazia knew that the Commander-in-Chief would be so interested, I believe he would be very pleased!"

"Ah."

Char (Neo Zeon) nodded, then his expression turned serious.

"Alright, Captain Dorell, it's time to get down to business! Notify the Death Vanguard Fleet to coordinate with our fleet's operations and prepare for the Federation's general offensive! Also, have the special operations team get ready!"

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"

Dorell Rona hesitated for a moment, then shouted loudly.

“ZICK ZION!!”

Char (Neo Zeon) was somewhat surprised, but responded nonetheless.

“ZICK ZION!!”

After watching Dorell Rona leave, Nana stepped forward and spoke after observing for a while.

"It seems the commander-in-chief has already won over the young master of the Rona family."

"No. It's not conquest. It's just a touch of recognition. Nanai. There is no such thing as conquest in this world."

Char (Neo Zeon) shook his head and replied casually.

"But I've already been won over by the Colonel!"

"Really? I don't think so, Nana."

Char (Neo Zeon) glanced at Nanai, and his expression immediately turned serious.

"Order! Full fleet, level one combat readiness! Gentlemen, the Federation forces' general offensive is here!! Be alert!"

"The future of humanity is now in your hands!"
