Losing a Gundam pilot means that humanity has lost one-third of its combat power. Losing a hero who was once promoted will also deal a heavy blow to the morale of humanity, which is already not very high.

At this moment, Sleta glanced at Alcott and immediately understood what Alcott was thinking.

Looking into Olcott's eyes, Sleta said seriously, "I know what you are worried about, but unlike visible enemies, Noreya is now fighting invisible enemies - and there is no way we can help her."

"Give her some more time. I once fell into autism because of the death of my companions and relatives. I know very well that at this time, all we can do is wait and give her time to recover."

"Noreya is definitely not a coward. She will recover."

Alcott nodded slightly.

"That's all I can do. Recently, I will reduce the exploration and observation missions of the Rectification Agreement Base to reduce the possibility of accidents as much as possible..."

But at this moment, before Olcott could finish his words, the warning lights on the wall of the base suddenly lit up, flashing a dazzling red light.

At the same time, a warning sounded over the base's radio.

"Warning - emergency situation, multiple unidentified mobile suits are heading towards the base, combatants please immediately take up your positions and be on guard!"

"I repeat, this is not a drill - multiple unidentified mobile suits are heading towards the base, combatants please immediately take up your positions and be on guard!"

"repeat……"

"What is this!?" Olcott looked up at the red warning light with an expression of disbelief: "Unknown model MS... How is this possible!?"

But Sleta on the side was not surprised. As soon as she heard the warning, she picked up the communicator in her hand to contact the command center and ran towards the hangar where the Fengling Gundam was placed.

"Command? Got a response!?"

Looking at the ordinary logistics personnel who were running towards the shelter in a panic, as well as a few soldiers who were rushing towards the various armed turrets, Sleta quickly asked into the communicator in his hand.

“…Ssss!”

After a short electric sound, a panicked background sound came from the communicator, and a female voice also sounded in the panicked background sound: "Received, Chief!"

"Sophie? Are you at the headquarters?" Sleta was a little surprised, but without waiting for Sophie to answer, he immediately asked: "Forget it, this is not important. What is the unidentified model of MS mentioned in the alarm? What is the current situation?"

"The exact situation is unknown, but according to the communication from the forward outpost, thirteen aircraft models that have never been seen before were seen heading towards the base!"

Sophie answered loudly amid the noisy background: "We are still comparing the specific models with our radar. Some of them look like universal MS of the Rectification Protocol, but the feedback signals and records are very different... I guess they may be improved versions of MS that have not been used in the Rectification Protocol!"

"An improved mobile suit based on the Rectification Protocol!?"

Hearing Sophie's answer, Sletta couldn't help but grit his teeth slightly: "Damn it... Wasn't the Rectification Agreement already dormant? How did it wake up!?"

"...The silent state is just our guess." Sophie was silent for a moment, then said: "We never know the details of the rectification agreement, right?"

"Perhaps before, they just thought that humans were doomed and there was no need to attack, and maybe they suddenly remembered it today."

Hearing this, Sleta bit his lips slightly.

"…Did any of the MS that we tried to repair before succeed?"

Sophie sighed slightly: "Unfortunately, no."

"We still only have a few mass-produced units of the Earth Army Gundam, which have been preserved because they have never been used by a pilot."

"As for the ordinary MS bodies, because they are used too frequently, the parts are damaged too much, and there is no way to repair them successfully."

Hearing this, Sleta paused.

"So... we only have the Wind Spirit, Ur, and Thorn Gundams that can attack?"

"Two to be exact." Sophie said in a heavy tone: "Nolia can't fight yet, and Thorn hasn't been fully repaired yet."

Only then did he remember the state of Noreya he had just seen, and Sleta's face under the mask tightened slightly.

"…It's such a coincidence."

Thinking of this, Sleta couldn't help but stop and look around him.

Now, she was surrounded by running soldiers and logistics personnel who were urgently transporting various supplies such as ammunition.

When these soldiers and logistics personnel passed by Sleta who stopped, they couldn't help but look at the masked Sleta with admiration and respect.

This is because they have all witnessed Slater driving the Wind Spirit Gundam to defeat the Purity Protocol MS, and they all believe that under the protection of Slater's Wind Spirit Gundam, these incoming Purity Protocol MS will be defeated just like before.

——Sleta thinks so too.

But what's the cost?

What price will it cost to defeat these thirteen MSs?

Even for Slater and her Wind Spirit Gundam, it would be impossible for her to defeat the thirteen mobile suits controlled by the Serenity Protocol in just a few seconds.

After all, the MS under the control of the Sermon Protocol has the best tactical coordination and flexibility that is not inferior to the Gundam, and its danger level is definitely not inferior to the Earth Army's Gundam.

If nothing unexpected happens, facing thirteen MSs, even if the Wind Spirit Gundam without sufficient support tries its best, it will take more than ten minutes to defeat these MSs of the Serenity Protocol one by one.

And how much damage will those MS cause in this process... Of course, as the base of Earth Dawn, this was once a military base built by the Earth Army in Australia to counter the Rectification Protocol. Therefore, this base is strong enough, and even if facing the MS attack of the Rectification Protocol, there will be no problem in a short period of time.

——But what about the ordinary people out there?

The Earth Dawn organization rescued tens of thousands of humans and gathered them here. It was naturally impossible for all of these people to live in a safe but limited-space military base, and the military base could not accommodate so many people.

In fact, most of the people in the base are combat personnel and their families.

Most of the ordinary people live in ordinary houses built around the base.

At this time, they could only hide in shelters that were far less solid than military bases, hoping that disaster would not befall them.

It is conceivable that in the absence of supplies, these shelters and ordinary buildings built later could not be as sturdy as the buildings on the military bases.

Therefore, in the more than ten minutes of battle between the Wind Spirit Gundam and the MS, as long as the Summons intentionally delayed the Wind Spirit Gundam a little and attacked the ordinary people around, the ordinary people around would inevitably suffer a large number of casualties.

——This is something Sleta cannot accept!

At this time, as if she knew what Sleta was thinking, Sophie made a suggestion.

"…Maybe we could use Ikari Shinji."

Sleta showed a look of shock.

"you want……"

"Yes." Sophie's serious voice came through the communicator: "As an amplifier for strengthening the data storm, Ikari Shinji's consciousness is not important. As long as his body is in the Gundam cockpit, it can play a role in strengthening the data storm."

"Although we don't have enough Gundam pilots, we still have a lot of MS pilots."

"We can let those MS pilots with rich combat experience 'voluntarily' go deep into the Gundam's Palmet Scratches with the 'assistance' of Shinji Ikari, so that we can create a group of self-aware Gundams that are good at combat in a short time!"

"No !!!!"

But facing Sophie's suggestion, Sletta's face under the mask showed anger, and he shouted loudly: "Absolutely can't do this!!!"

Sleta's voice seemed to scare the soldiers passing by and Sophie on the other side of the communicator.

For a moment, everything around Sleta and on the other side of the communicator became quiet.

Glancing at the ordinary soldiers around him who were looking at him in surprise and bewilderment, Sleta lowered his head slightly, took a deep breath, then quickened his pace toward the hangar, and said to the communicator in a gradually calming voice: "Sophie, you are a little too extreme."

"We must not place our hopes on something of unknown origin like the Human Instrumentality Project."

"What if the pilots of those mass-produced Gundams and MSs didn't become self-aware Gundams like you, but were killed by the data storm instead?"

"And even if the self-aware Gundam succeeds, what if the Gundam loses control and attacks us... Don't forget that before you controlled the Ur-Mortal Gundam, it destroyed the Thorn-Mortal Gundam."

"The more dangerous it is, the more cautious we must be. We must never take this kind of risk!"

"...I understand. Then we will attack together." Sophie's voice came through the communicator: "When Orcott arrives, I will hand over the command to him, and I will rush to the hangar as soon as possible to drive the Urmoring Gundam."

"Very good." Sleta, who rushed to the hangar, nodded slightly, turned off the communicator in his hand, and looked at the Fengling Gundam which had been almost prepared thanks to the efforts of the busy logistics personnel.

"Chief! The Wind Spirit is ready!"

Seeing Sleta's logistics, he shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Sleta nodded slightly and walked quickly towards the landing platform.

At the same time, he silently said in his heart: "If I retreat, I can gain one of the two. If I advance, I can gain both... They are just thirteen MSs of the Rectification Agreement!"

"Watch me destroy them all with the Wind Spirit Gundam!"

Chapter 29: Weird MS

"Slater Mercury - Wind Spirit Gundam attacks!"

The masked girl looked at the attack path that had been cleared in front of her and stepped on the accelerator to make a declaration.

The next moment, with the girl pushing the joystick to the maximum and activating the acceleration propulsion device under her feet, the huge body, under the dual push of the aircraft behind her and the accelerator under her feet, rushed out of the runway of the hangar at an extremely fast speed with a huge sound of breaking through the air, and soared into the sky!

- Om!

Along with the slight vibration of the aircraft behind him, a huge blue and white Gundam body appeared in the sky above the base, blocking the dazzling sun.

"Look at the sky!"

"That is--"

“It’s the Wind Spirit!”

"The leader is out!"

"Ohhh! The Gundam is here to protect us!"

Below, the crowd who had been fleeing in panic around the base suddenly shouted, and many of them even waved their hands and cheered loudly for the Fengling Gundam in the sky.

——It was as if the crisis of the eye socket had been resolved, as if the Wind Spirit Gundam had repelled the attacking MS and saved everyone.

"This is wrong..."

Sleta looked at the cheering crowd below and clenched his teeth.

Enlarging the image on the screen, she could see everyone's eyes, and see the suppressed fear in the deepest part of the eyes of these cheering crowds beneath their fanatical admiration.

They are afraid of the suspected awakening of the rectification agreement.

Everyone here has experienced the killings of the Purification Protocol, and everyone has lost relatives and friends. Now, after the Purification Protocol fell into silence, they have finally returned to normal life for a while, but now an attack suspected to be related to the Purification Protocol has come again.

This made these people fall into the fear they once again felt.

The attack of the Wind Spirit Gundam that once saved them aroused Earth Dawn's propaganda for them, allowing them to temporarily delay this fear and let them place all their hopes on the Wind Spirit Gundam.

But this is not right.

Later, when they calm down and get rid of this fanatical worship of the Wind Spirit Gundam, they will definitely fall into panic again because of the attack of the Serenity Agreement.

After all, even Sleta himself did not believe that the Earth Dawn he organized could defeat the Awakening Purification Protocol - not to mention the defeated Saviors.

"So... I must win this time!"

"And I can't wait for the Urmerin Gundam to attack and then rely on defense to clear out the other MS bit by bit. I must achieve an overwhelming and absolute victory - only in this way can I use the Wind Spirit to gather everyone's will to resist!"

"Otherwise, after this battle, these people will disintegrate themselves before the Rectification Agreement attacks again!"

Sleta, showing a determined look, touched his mask and whispered: "Mom, Feng Ling, I will protect everything this time!"

In an instant, all the luminous instruments in the cockpit flashed blue light, as if to acknowledge Sleta's words.

"Well..." Sleta forced a smile: "Let's work hard together, Feng Ling!"

The next moment, the Fengling Gundam flying in the sky, with the help of the flying backpack behind it, suddenly flew towards the north of the base, where thirteen vaguely visible figures had appeared on the horizon!

More than ten seconds later, when the Wind Spirit Gundam maintained a safe distance from the base behind it, Slater controlled the Wind Spirit Gundam to stop, turned the camera in the air to look at the thirteen MSs in the distance, and enlarged their figures on the screen in front of him.

"Is this... the new MS of the Rectification Protocol?"

Looking at the twelve MSs walking briskly across from him, looking at their purple armor that seemed very thin compared to the Gundam, and the strange crack on the head camera that took up half of their face, like a big mouth, Sleta frowned.

"The body is somewhat similar to a simplified version of the original mass-produced MS of the Ordinary Protocol, but... the design of the head camera is too weird."

"and……"

Slater looked at the last one of the twelve mobile suits with a puzzled look.

That MS looked almost identical to the other twelve MS.

The only two differences are that the last MS has a cylindrical object standing upright on its spine, and there is also a pair of purple flying backpacks like wings on the back of this MS.

"…What is this? The captain's plane?"

"But the previous rectification agreement never arranged for command machines. They don't need command at all."

Looking at these MS of the Serenity Protocol that were very different from his impressions, Slater's eyes became more suspicious, and the unknown gradually made Slater feel a little uneasy.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party could see in many parts that the design was indeed in line with the Supremacy Protocol machines, Sleta would almost have thought that these thirteen MS were not Supremacy Protocol machines.
