The Deviation of Temptation!
Chapter 1632 The Deviation of Temptation!
Near lunar synchronous orbit.
The Earth Federation Forces' Temptation shuttle is continuously flying towards the lunar city of Von Braun.
Inside the cockpit of the Temptation, Brad Noah was nervously observing the surrounding airspace.
"This is unbearable! Captain Brad. Why are we being entangled with those monsters on this voyage?!"
The first mate couldn't help but curse.
"Focus! Nobody wants to be in this situation! After all, we still don't know how frequently those monsters appear or what they look like."
Brad Noah understood the extent of the pressure his first mate was under.
Judging from his resume, he is not currently qualified to take on this position as a first mate.
But for some reason, he came anyway and became the first mate of the Temptation as a follower of Captain Brad Noah.
Brad Noah understood perfectly well that this was a trick by certain people in power.
Just like him, who was appointed to a critical mission during the One Year War, commanding the White Horse to preserve the Gundam for the Earth Federation (UC), bringing back valuable MS combat data for the Earth Federation (UC), and in subsequent battles large and small, he gained more leverage for future victory.
However, this same hero, after the Titans were established, repeatedly invited Brad Noah to join the Titans, but to no avail. Instead, he was sternly rejected by Brad Noah. In the end, he became angry and kept finding fault with Brad Noah in various ways, demoting Brad Noah's position again and again, until he was assigned to the position of captain of the Temptation.
The first mate beside him, who looked nervous, had a somewhat unfocused gaze, and pale lips, was also among those who were picking fights.
"Don't worry, John. I'll make sure the Temptation lands safely at von Braun!"
No matter how much resentment Brad Noah harbored, he couldn't unleash it at this moment.
Because, regardless of whether the Temptation is a real spaceship or not, Brad Noah now carries the weight of dozens of lives on his shoulders!
"Captain Brad."
Seemingly inspired by Brad Noah's unwavering resolve, First Mate John, who had been gradually consumed by fear, calmed down somewhat.
"If you calm down, focus on controlling the direction and maintain the current speed!"
Brad Noah nodded slightly and gave his instructions.
"Don't worry! The distress message has been sent. We believe the Federation fleet near von Braun has already detected our information!"
"Yes, Captain Brad!"
However, reality is not so rosy.
As the first mate, now calmed down, was intently maneuvering the Tempest toward von Braun, a flash of light suddenly appeared ahead.
"careful!"
Brad Noah's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively seized control, maneuvering the Temptation to the side at the last second, avoiding the blinding, deadly glare.
"Particle beams?! Enemies? Those monsters?!"
The first mate shouted in terror.
"No! Not MS! It's those monsters! John! Descend!! Quickly!"
"Yes, Captain Brad!"
The first mate shouted immediately.
"But, if we deviate from our current trajectory, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach von Braun in the shortest possible time."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it! John, we have to survive first! Hang in there!"
Brad Noah looked around, his expression growing increasingly grave. In truth, he sensed it.
Not only in front, but also behind the Temptation, on both the left and right sides, a number of malicious forces were rapidly approaching.
However, he did not tell the first mate, who was already on the verge of collapse.
"Where did those monsters called Dimensional Beasts come from? And why are their numbers increasing?! Could it be that their target is von Braun?!"
In an instant, a startling hypothesis appeared in Brad Noah's mind.
According to the schedule, the Temptation had no plans to go to the lunar city of Von Braun, but went directly to the colony satellite Blue Noah.
If a passenger hadn't fallen ill and needed emergency treatment, the Temptation probably would never have approached the lunar city of von Braun, nor would it have run into these monsters.
The intense, nauseating malice made Brad Noah pale and his nerves tense.
"Damn it! If this Temptation were a white Trojan horse, I wouldn't be sitting here waiting to die like this!"
Brad Noah had more than one way in mind to fight back against the enemy and escape from their encirclement, but what he was piloting now was nothing more than the Temptation shuttle, which was merely a spaceship used to fool him!
"Om!!"
As the Temptation continued to descend in order to evade pursuit, more attacks rained down from the sky, constantly sweeping past its left and right sides, causing the Temptation to tremble violently from these impacts.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!! These damn monsters!!"
The first mate gripped the control stick tightly, cursing incessantly.
Faced with increasingly intense attacks and overwhelming malice that kept him distracted, Brad Noah no longer had the energy to appease his first mate.
"How far are we from being like von Braun...?"
Brad Noana's body, encased in a protective suit, was drenched in cold sweat, and time seemed to stretch on endlessly.
On the silvery-white earth, a series of dark figures rushed in from the pitch-black void, launching a deadly attack on the Temptation. At that moment, Brad Noah, who was on the verge of life and death, felt a jolt of excitement.
He seemed to sense something.
A familiar yet somewhat strange feeling dispelled the darkness, like the rising sun on the horizon, washing away the malice that enveloped him and pulling him directly back to reality from the shadow of death.
"Boom!!!"
It's a beam of light!!
A purplish-red beam of light, like a flame, rose from the silvery-white earth below, shattering the monsters surrounding the Temptation in one fell swoop, while also opening a passage for the Temptation to descend.
"There it is! John! Hurry!"
Brad Noah's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he called to his first mate to take action.
"Yes! Captain!"
The next second, the Temptation, which was accelerating its descent, brushed past the black machine that was firing a flame-like purplish-red beam of light.
"A black mobile suit?! It's a model I've never seen before? Is it a new mobile suit developed by the Federation?!"
In that instant, Brad Noah's eyes were filled with the MS with a golden horn and its entire body covered in black armor. It wasn't until the Temptation descended to a safe altitude that he received communications from the fleet led by Reibill and Tiam.
"Lure! You are safe! Please proceed to von Bly as directed."
