The whereabouts of Kenes and Hassavi!
Chapter 1662 The whereabouts of Kenes and Hassavi!
"I am Kenneth Slag. Although my introduction is a bit late, I guess it's fate!"
After touring the stronghold in Calaba, Kenes approached Hassawi Noah with a wry smile.
(Keanes Slager)
Hassawi Noah's gaze shifted, but he did not reveal his name.
Compared to Kenneth, Hassawi Noah was much more cautious about revealing his identity.
If he were in another unit, Hasawi Noah might easily have given his name.
However, this is Karaba's stronghold, and even on the battlefield in front of this stronghold, a mobile suit suspected to be piloted by Amuro Ray is fighting those monsters.
If I were to rashly reveal my name, it would likely cause a lot of trouble.
Or, it might alert his father, Brad Noah, who is now either the captain of the Temptation or not, thus affecting a series of subsequent events.
The paradox of time.
Hathaway Noah was aware of the term and all the changes it might bring.
"I'm sorry, Colonel Kenneth. His name needs to be treated with care. And so does your name, and your identity."
Fortunately, He Ming appeared in time to rescue Hassawi Noah from the predicament.
Upon hearing this, the two turned around, and Kenneth nodded, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"Who exactly are you? I just walked around this outpost and found that no one here knows anything about Hauzeon. But you seem to know us very well."
Kenneth's gaze gradually sharpened.
"Furthermore, you didn't answer me when you were with Hauser. Why is there a unit called Punishment in the Earth Federation Army, and who exactly are you, the masked man who calls himself Colonel Ming?"
As he was talking, Kenneth suddenly smiled.
"Could it be that you're imitating Char's ghost? Or perhaps Mafti?"
"I'm sorry! I will grant you both access to verify my identity later. As for why I know about Hauzeon's existence, I apologize. Now is not the time for you two, who are currently unaware of the situation, to know the reason."
He Ming pointed to the mask on his face and continued.
"Similarly, this mask exists to conceal certain things, to prevent my true identity from being discovered by some behind-the-scenes manipulators."
"Something, some mastermind behind it all?!"
Kenneth's expression changed, and he subconsciously looked towards the city center, which was being burned by the war.
"As expected of Colonel Kenneth Slag. Your intuition is exceptionally sharp."
What name is praised?
"No. Sometimes, I don't really want to have this talent. But, as you said, we currently lack the ability and the right to know the truth behind it all. So, what will you do with us?"
Kenneth sighed and asked.
Although Kenneth Slag traveled to Earth aboard the Howzen to take over the mess left by Kimberly.
However, in this world, which is clearly still in the timeline of UC0087, Kenneth Slag is still an MS pilot in a certain unit and could not possibly become the commander of a special forces unit.
In other words, he, Kenneth Slag, from the future, is an undocumented immigrant.
“I understand your difficulties. So, here, I will present my solution. As you can see, this planet, this world, is being invaded by monsters from another world. To address this, the Earth Federation Army Headquarters has established a special unit called Punishment, and I am the commander of this unit.”
He Ming looked at the two celebrities from the future with a serious expression and extended an invitation.
"Now, in my capacity as commander of the Punishment Force, I extend an invitation to both of you. I hope you will join the Punishment Force and work together to find a way to deal with the mastermind behind this. Of course, this is not a forced recruitment, but a sincere invitation!"
Kenneth slumped his shoulders, then spread his hands and shook his head.
"It seems this is the only way to solve the problem of us undocumented immigrants. But Colonel Ming, what about the survivors? They are not like the two of us. In the future timeline, they are high-ranking federal officials."
He Ming had considered the problem of Kenneth and found a solution.
"After recapturing the city, we will send people to transport those adults into space, where General Rebil will personally make arrangements."
"General Reibell?!"
Kenneth and Hassawi exclaimed in surprise.
In their future timeline, General Rebil was murdered by Kilian during negotiations with Deakin in the One Year War.
"He...he's still alive?!"
Hassavi's eyes widened.
"Alive. Furthermore, the establishment of the Punishment Force was also thanks to the efforts of General Rebil and General Tiam."
Upon hearing He Ming's answer, Kenneth gave a wry smile, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and sighed deeply.
"It seems we've arrived in an extraordinary past! Not only is General Rebil still alive, but even General Tiam, once hailed as General Rebil's successor, is still alive. So, is the Titans active?" "Yes. The Titans are currently in space, locked in a tug-of-war with the Abyss."
He Ming's answer once again silenced Kenneth and Hassawi.
After a long while, the two gradually figured out some of the truths about this world and accepted He Ming's invitation without hesitation.
"So, Colonel Ming, what will you do with me?"
After changing his stance, Kenneth adopted a "what's done is done" attitude and began actively seeking job opportunities from He Ming.
"The Federation has assigned three Garudas for punishment. Apart from the Garuda heading to Third Sydney, the remaining two Garudas will arrive here soon. Colonel Kenneth, you will serve as the captain of the Garuda under the name of Lieutenant Colonel Sleg."
"Garuda? That's a good arrangement."
Kenneth's expression turned solemn, and he stood at attention, saluting He Ming.
"Then, I look forward to your guidance from now on, Colonel Ming!"
"I'm entrusting the Garuda to you as well, Lieutenant Colonel Slag."
After He Ming finished making arrangements for Kenes, he looked at Hassawi Noah.
Compared to Kenneth, Hassawi Noah was indeed more difficult to manage.
Besides his background and the possibility that he might encounter Brad Noah when the Punishment Force travels to space in the near future, there is another layer to Hassawi's identity.
"I'll go take a look over at the watchtower."
Seeing that the two seemed to have something to say privately, Kenes immediately made an excuse to give them space.
"Colonel Ming, do you know Mafti?"
Watching Kenes's departing figure, Hassawi's expression changed, and he finally revealed his true secret.
“Mafti Nabiyu Erin, right?”
He Ming nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the stool next to him, indicating that Hasavi should sit down.
Hasavi nodded, tacitly agreeing with He Ming's speculation.
This was the first time he had ever let a stranger know his secret, besides his friends.
And this stranger is a stranger from a bygone era.
Hasavi pursed his lips, looked at He Ming, and thought to himself.
"Or perhaps, it's a variable that has never appeared before."
In the past that Hassawi knew, during the civil war between the Titans and the Valley, there was no information about the so-called Punishment Forces, nor any indication of the existence of a figure like Colonel Ming.
Therefore, the only explanation is that Colonel Ming is likely the key to the time paradox.
"I am Hassawi Noah, and also Mafti Nabiyu Erin. Perhaps you will learn what... things I did in the future..."
“I know. But I will not judge it. Because it is your choice, your determination, and the action you took with your will. If there is anyone in this world who can judge or even criticize your actions, perhaps only they have the right to do so.”
He Ming leaned against the sandbag bunker, looking at the night sky in the distance, which was reddened by the flames of war.
"them···"
Hasavi bit his lip slightly, like a child who didn't know if he was right or wrong, but was also timid and dared not ask his elders if he was right or wrong.
“Amuro Ray, Char Aznable, and your father, Brad Noah. This is the era they lived in, and it is the era you live in now.”
He Ming noticed Hathaway's hesitation, but this was also the Hathaway that He Ming remembered.
"I once heard a saying..."
"If you have the opportunity to make a choice, never let your future self regret it."
"Hassawi Noah. You once followed them through that turmoil that brought about miracles and revealed the brilliance in the human heart to the world. So why not stand beside them, in place of your younger self in this era, and experience it all with them? Listen to their thoughts as people living in this time, and see how they view this world shrouded in unimaginable turmoil!"
After He Ming finished speaking, he stood up straight, walked to Hasavi's side, and patted him on the shoulder.
"We still have time; there's no need to rush into a decision!"
Hasavi's eyes were filled with complex emotions, but just as He Ming had said, he needed to calm down.
Not only as Hasavi Noah, but also as Mafti Nabiyu Erin, to face all of this, to think about all of this, and then how to stand by their side and experience all of this with them.
He Ming's footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
Then, the roar of engines followed, and Banshee Gundam and Gaplan took off once again, flying towards the distant battlefield.
This battle to retake the city should come to an end!
