Chapter 1588 The aftermath of the war
Just as Haman Kahn was worrying about the outcome of the Jupiter war, He Ming had also noticed the existence of Axis.
"Master, the drone has detected a satellite fortress that is accelerating towards Mars."
The intelligent AI cube displays the footage captured by the Shadow Killer drone in front of He Ming.
"Satellite fortress?"
He Ming examined it carefully for a while, then nodded slightly.
"Understood. Just have Shadow Fiend keep an eye on the satellite fortress's movements."
"Yes, Master. Also, should we send a Shadowfiend drone squadron to probe the enemy's strength? According to current intelligence, once this satellite fortress crosses Mars and enters the Earth-Moon sphere, it will trigger a series of changes, and may even dominate the direction of the local situation."
Adino carefully offered his own perspective.
"It's alright. Let the satellite fortress go! I know their purpose."
He Ming didn't care; on the contrary, he was looking forward to seeing if this satellite fortress would cause drastic changes to the Earth-Moon sphere.
In the end, He Ming had already recognized the origin of this satellite fortress—Axis.
It is the satellite fortress of Axis, which was occupied by the remnants of the Zeon forces under the leadership of Haman Kahn and with Minerva Zabi as their spiritual symbol.
Based on the original timeline, Harman Kahn shouldn't have brought Axis back to Earth so quickly.
The fact that they've already moved so far away from Jupiter is probably because they were frightened by the battle between He Ming and the others and Mu Lian, Radam, and the remnants of the G Fleet.
Looking back, it does seem to make sense.
After scrimping and saving in Axis Province, he finally managed to accumulate some wealth and was preparing to return to Earth to plan for the future when a neighbor with an astonishing number of spaceships suddenly appeared next to him. Moreover, after this neighbor appeared, an unknown entity easily wiped out the neighbor with just three spaceships and a small celestial body.
A normal person would probably immediately dodge to avoid being caught in the crossfire between these two.
"Understood! Prioritization will now begin. Our basic strategy will be to monitor the satellite fortress, but not interfere with any of its operations."
While leaving Adino to make the arrangements, He Ming was also pondering the potential "earthquake" that Axis might cause after arriving in the lunar sphere.
Given the large amount of "fog" still existing on the super-Earth, dropping a bomb into it might accelerate the countdown to the dissipation of the "fog."
Moreover, the Earth-Moon sphere must have already noticed this battle on Jupiter.
For example, the dazzling sun that appeared when D-BOY used the second form of Tekkaman Blade to destroy the Radam mothership at the last moment was an unavoidable optical phenomenon.
The Earth-Moon Circle, the Solar System Human Innovation Alliance, a small-scale closed-door meeting of the core member states of the alliance.
Lux sat upright in her seat, looking around and taking in the main leaders of the three core member states of the alliance who were present.
"Speaker Klein, haven't we been having a lot of meetings lately?"
As soon as everyone arrived, Qi Sheng, the representative of the East Asian Republic, one of the core members of the Solar System Human Innovation Alliance, smiled.
"I'm very sorry! The situation is urgent, and I have to use my authority to notify you all."
Lux gave a perfectly timed apologetic smile and bowed slightly as she spoke.
"No. Speaker Klein, you've worked hard. After all, the burden of our allies' astronomical observations rests on your shoulders."
The representative from Orb was Cagalli Yura Athha, the new generation of national leader who was recently rumored to be succeeding Uzumi Yura Athha. As a peer and a collaborator who also stood in the core circle of many member states of the Solar System Human Innovation Alliance, Cagalli Yura Athha had always greatly admired Lacus Clyne.
"Yes. Representative Asha is right. It is thanks to Speaker Klein's initiative to take on the Alliance's external astronomical observation mission that we were able to allocate manpower and resources to watch the starry sky above us while we were dealing with the rebellion of the Lancelot remnants at home."
Duane Halbarton, representative of the Atlantic Federation, spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you for your kind words, both representatives! Now, let's get down to business!"
After bowing to the representatives of Orb and the Atlantic Federation, Lux Klein spoke solemnly.
"Please, Speaker Klein. Let us hear the news from Jupiter!"
Qi Sheng, the representative of the Republic of East Asia, looked at Lux Klein with a serious expression.
"Recently, our astronomical observation team confirmed that a large-scale battle between cosmic fleets has indeed been discovered in the region where Jupiter is located. Please see the images taken by our technical team, as well as the images taken by our intelligence personnel from the front lines on Jupiter."
As Lux finished speaking, a series of images instantly unfolded before the representatives' eyes.
The space battleship to which Mu Lian belonged
The images of the Radam Beasts released by the Radam mothership and the battle between the Tekkamans silenced the representatives of Orb and the Atlantic.
When Qi Sheng, the representative of the East Asian Republic, noticed the appearance of VF-25 and even the figure of Cheng Ying·Lie Kong in some images, he immediately revealed a smile that said, "I knew it."
"Chairman Klein, may I ask which faction this force belongs to? Is it a biological weapon?"
Cagalli pointed to the Radam mothership and the Radam Beasts and asked.
"These are a space mothership and biological weapon—the Radam Beast—made by an alien civilization called Radam. These are puppet weapons—Tegamans—made by Radam after parasitizing and modifying the best samples of humans they captured."
After Lux briefly recounted the information about Radam and Tekaman, she revealed a relieved smile.
"But please, all representatives, need not worry. The mothership of this civilization called Radam has been successfully destroyed by our fleet. Even if some scattered Radam beasts are found in the Earth-Moon Sphere, there is no need to worry about humans being killed or even parasitized by them."
The implication in Lux Klein's words caused Cagalli and Halbarton to pause in surprise.
"Our fleet?"
"Yes. Our fleet."
Lux nodded affirmatively.
Cagalli frowned; clearly, Uzumi hadn't mentioned certain crucial information to his successor.
Perhaps it's based on exercise, or perhaps it's just going with the flow.
In contrast, after a brief moment of confusion, Halbarton's eyes gradually brightened.
He first glanced at Qi Sheng, the representative of the East Asian Republic who remained calm and composed and had not expressed any opinion, before looking at Lux Klein.
"It seems that the reinforcements we've been waiting for have arrived at the doorstep of the Earth-Moon Sphere. Is that right, both of you?"
“Indeed! Representative Halbarton.”
