Gundam EXARE

"How on earth could he come up with such words and say them?"

Could it be talent?

Mu began to wonder if trash talking also required a specific talent.

Rey Rhodes, he really is a person who seems very reliable but also seems very bad. Fortunately, he is a teammate, otherwise I might really lose my mind because of his words on the battlefield.

You have to control the MS, think about trash talk, and speak it clearly during combat.

Chapter 30 The War is Coming

Firefights and confrontations, this battle is a simulated war inside the body.

Athrun sat in the cockpit of the Aegis, training himself in simulated battles to familiarize himself with the driving method he learned in Junius 7.

The five G-series machines of the Earth Army each have their own unique features, but the unique features come at a price.

Take the Aegis for example. It has an extremely high cruising speed and extremely high firepower in MA mode, but in MS mode it only has a rifle, two Vulcan cannons and four beam swords.

These weapons are just for self-protection, and the Aegis was not created for fighting MS wars with humans.

It depends on the driver's skills to overcome this weakness.

The enemy on the screen is firmly grasped, and the transformed Holy Shield locks the prey with four claws and penetrates the prey with the Kraken Cannon at zero distance.

""

A simulated battle ended like this. Aslan took a deep breath and now he was preparing for the next battle.

Even though several days had passed, he still remembered the battle at Junius 7 vividly.

Unlike when he heard the news of Junius 7's destruction in PLANT, this was the first time in his life that he wanted to kill someone.

Aslan chose to join the army because of the death of his mother and compatriots. This is a pain in his heart that he will never forget.

But the enemy tore open his wound and stabbed him several more times.

Aslan had not had a clear enough understanding of the word "vicious" before, but now he understood that the pilot of the golden machine could even be described as insane.

We can't let him go, we must shoot him down.

To do this, you must remain calm and find a way to ignore what he says.

Thinking about it afterwards, Aslan knew why his enemy spoke so harshly to him, which was to provoke him and make him lose his mind.

The enemy is accustomed to fighting and is an expert in it.

“That’s not normal at all.”

Aslan is a normal person. Any normal person will consider himself and others. It is common sense that some things cannot be said even if they are thought of.

But the pilot of the golden machine was different. He seemed to not care about anything and was simply a madman.

It is impossible to communicate with such people. After the First War, Aslan completely understood that some people speak neither to express their own ideas nor to discuss with others.

The pilot of the golden machine only spoke to attack others. All his words were not for communication, but for attack. It was simply a collection of malice.

At this time, the cockpit of the Holy Shield became completely dark, and Aslan turned off the Holy Shield in standby mode.

Today's simulated battle was almost over, and he opened the cockpit and came out.

Then an unexpected person appeared in his sight, so that he couldn't help but exclaim:

"Yitzhak, you—"

The silver hair hung down, but there was a hideous burn mark on the face, extending from the brow to the right cheek.

Isaac, who should have returned to PLANT, was standing here inexplicably, and this was what puzzled Aslan.

Aslan, who had been in the cockpit of the Aegis for almost six hours, naturally had no idea that his ship had come into contact with other ships, just as he had not noticed the extra machine in the maintenance room.

Just from the color scheme and the appearance of the head, this machine is undoubtedly a duel.

But upon closer inspection, the originally skinny Duel was now very strong, and its entire body was equipped with external armor called the Assault Corpse Suit.

This armor uses the same technology as the Assault-Type Xigu's armor. It not only covers the entire body to increase defense, but also adds posture nozzles at different locations on the external armor. Therefore, dueling in heavy armor actually improves mobility compared to before.

In addition to enhanced defense and mobility, the Assault Corpse Suit has added a 5-missile pod and a 115mm Shiva electromagnetic cannon on each shoulder to strengthen its firepower.

The Duel that returned to PLANT's homeland with Isaac was renovated and strengthened with the help of ZAFT's technology.

Now, Yitzhak returns with a brand new duel, one that seeks revenge.

The wound on his face was to remind himself that what hurt now was not his face, but his heart.

After returning to the front line, Isaac had actually been waiting outside the cockpit of the Holy Shield for almost two hours, and he did not intend to tell this matter because the two were comrades standing on the same front.

"I heard Captain Cruze talk about what happened at Junius 7."

Isaac looked at Aslan and said, he knew exactly what the golden machine did.

"Next time we see it, you and I will shoot it down together."

When it comes to hatred, Isaac is no less. First it was the wound on his face, and then it was the matter of Junius 7.

This has nothing to do with the war, it's a personal grudge.

After saying this, Isaac turned and left the preparation room. He really didn't have the heart to chat.

He thought he had calmed down, but when he heard Cruze's retelling, he almost got angry again.

If he hadn't had something to say to Aslan, Izak would have rushed to the duel cockpit and opened fire wildly in the simulated battle.

With that, Yitzhak left the maintenance room.

Half a second later, Aslan finally digested Yitzhak's words. Unlike Yitzhak's idea that unity is the best way to achieve success, Aslan was not enraged at this moment. Instead, he began to worry about something else:

"Isaac, don't be impulsive."

Because once you act impulsively, you will play into the enemy's hands. Perhaps Isaac intends to transform all his anger and hatred into strength, but this emotion is not so easy to control.

If this were simple, there wouldn't be so many people making big mistakes due to impulse.

When Aslan saw Yitzhak for the first time, he felt the joy of reunion, but unfortunately now he is only worried about his friend.

"No."

He felt that he had to find an opportunity to talk it out with Isaac later, otherwise things might go wrong during the real fight.

Just like that, Athrun also left the preparation room.

The ship was still moving in the designated direction because they had received new orders.

Searching for Lux is indeed an important task, but we can't really let the Aegis, an excellent MS, do nothing.

Aslan, who had never returned to PLANT, was not aware of the situation, but Isaac knew.

In fact, the battle situation had already been publicized in the country. First, the invincible Artemis was destroyed, and the Cruze team and Aslan who carried out the operation were naturally hailed as combat heroes.

Why single out Aslan? Of course, it's because of Sarah's last name.

Then there's the matter of the 4Gs. Through their research on Duel, ZAFT has been working on miniaturizing beam weapons and developing new types of machines.

Then the Propaganda Department combined the capture of the Earth Army's new machine with the news of Artemis, and the morale of the ZAFT soldiers became even higher.

The enemy's new weapon is powerful, but now it's ours!

Is there anything funnier and more worthy of ridicule than this?

That's what morale is all about. To put it bluntly, if the enemy suffers, we feel good.

Therefore, ZAFT decided to press on with the victory. It is naturally impossible to capture the Earth Army's lunar base, but Team Cruze is very meticulous and they have already conducted a round of investigation in Heliopolis.

All the information about G has been deleted. Although ZAFT cannot obtain the data, the Earth Army cannot get it either.

Now ZAFT has obtained G's technology and is conducting research and new development. What about the Earth Army?

There is no data or information at all, and it is far behind ZAFT.

As for what you said about going to Orb to ask for technology and information, you might as well ask yourself first, are you really so selfless as to share all the technical information with Orb during development?

Therefore, the importance of the long-legged ship and the two MSs in this situation is self-evident.

Even without mentioning the MS, can the Earth Army really accept ZAFT capturing the Long Legs?

It would be fine if the MS technology was stolen, but if even the battleship technology was stolen, wouldn't it be the end of us?

So the Cruze team was about to join up with ZAFT's main force. This operation had two objectives:

First, if a long-legged ship is captured or destroyed, everyone will want the good technology.

Secondly, if we attack the Earth Army, they will definitely take action for the Long-legged Ship, and that will be ZAFT's opportunity.

ZAFT's morale is high now, and it is time to attack.

Although Defense Minister Sarah and Speaker Klein have differences on some issues, both hope to end the war as soon as possible.

Speaker Klein hopes to force the Earth Army to surrender as soon as possible, and now only a little bit is left.

To make the Earth Army realize that they cannot win this war, they must either capture the long-legged ship or shoot it down.

Who could have imagined that a mere warship would lead to such a battle between the two armies, but this is the reality, and now is the turning point of the war.

Dividing line

In front of the door, Rei felt a little hesitant.

He didn't really want to deliver the food, but who else could come besides him?

We can't have students do it. Lux is fine, but it would be terrible if the pilot suddenly went crazy.

Hmm?

Rei vaguely remembered something at this moment, but the door in front of him was already open.

"welcome."

It was Lux, and she greeted Rey as if she were welcoming a good friend.

Although Ray's mental condition is worrying, he is not to the point where he would go crazy towards someone who expresses kindness, and Lux ​​is not an enemy who is driving a MS to kill him.

"I am coming."

Ray shrugged and brought two plates of what should be considered dinner to the room. Lux, seeing the plates, said happily:

“What a feast!”

Is it a sumptuous meal? Isn't it just an ordinary meal? Ray didn't have any intention of mocking Lux. He just thought that there really are people like this in the world.

The girl was smart. She never mentioned the debate again and didn't plan to continue talking about it.

Because Lux knows that people's thoughts are not so easy to change. If they can be resolved with just a few words, will there still be disputes in this world?

You can only decide what to do for yourself; the actions of others are decided by themselves.

Rei had mentioned to Mariu before that he would see a psychiatrist after getting off the ship.

This was a lie. He actually wanted to find something to distract himself, just like when he was piloting a mobile suit.

Lux was right in asking the question. Rey was currently stuck in this situation, neither moving up nor down.

If he really wants to give up, he should just ignore everything and not think about war, politics, or the world. He should just turn a blind eye.

But if you ask him what to do, he will think that it is not something he can do and choose to do nothing.

I can neither go up nor go down.

I feel unwilling to do it when I say I don't want to do it, and I start making excuses when I say I want to do it.

What exactly do I want to do?

Rei was too lazy to ask himself this question, he already knew the answer.

When he was driving the MS, it was actually a way for him to vent his emotions, just like when people are angry.

Some people choose to digest their anger by themselves, while others choose to vent and divert their anger.

Unfortunately, Rey is the latter.

Rey has been thinking clearly lately. The trash talk he said while driving the MS was actually only partly to provoke and anger the enemy, but more importantly, he just wanted to say it and he just wanted to attack others.

Instead of wasting time internally, why not hurt others directly? How could he be such a person? When did he become like this?
