Chapter 1725 On the Eve of Mu Zuo's Storm!
"Wow!!"
"Wow!!"
"Wow!!!"
"This...this is the Gundam that Colonel Ming was talking about?"
One day, in the core industrial area of Anaheim Electronics Technology Corporation, bursts of incredibly exaggerated yet exhilarating shouts rang out.
"This is the chief maintenance engineer the colonel found?"
Amuro, Hathaway, Christina, and CC stood on the terrace, watching Ernesti, who was too busy circling around the five Zeta Gundams, V Gundam, and the Gundam NT-1 Kai that had been delivered later, as well as the Banshee Gundam, and even neglecting to eat.
"He looks like a minor kid no matter how you look at him."
CC crossed his arms and looked the Ernesti trio up and down.
However, she didn't rule out any possibility of a definitive answer.
After all, during the time it took CC to decide to follow He Ming, he saw several seemingly ordinary kids who turned out to be quite surprising.
Take, for example, that little rascal, Husso Ebin.
Among everyone's mock test results, Huso Ebin's outstanding performance in the ZETA Gundam-related test project, which he participated in on a whim, was surprising and also made people marvel at He Ming's sharp eye.
Especially after learning from He Ming that Huso Ebin was likely a new human, CC dared not underestimate these kids who had been personally recruited by He Ming.
"Warrant Lieutenant CC. I just saw Ernesti conjure a tiny flame. That must be the legendary magic!"
"Hasavi said with a sigh."
If Hasavi hadn't seen the battle report of He Ming leading the team to recapture the Second Tokyo urban cluster, he probably would have been startled by the small flame that Ernesti suddenly ignited.
"Magic? That's interesting. But it's probably not as good as it was back in the Second Tokyo metropolitan area."
CC tensed up when she saw Ernesti, who had been wandering around the hangar, stop in front of her Zeta Gundam.
Fortunately, Ernesti only glanced at it a few more times before turning to face the unknown Banshee Gundam.
Perhaps, because there were as many as five Zeta Gundams, Ernestie lost interest and turned her attention to the more dazzling Banshee Gundam.
"That's natural. During the recapture of the Second Tokyo urban cluster, three magical mechs known as gods appeared. In terms of attack power, they're naturally top-notch. It's just that I wonder which is stronger, them or the Apostles?"
Amuro pondered this question after reading the battle reports of the Second Tokyo City Cluster Recapture Battle over several times.
"There's no need to worry too much about such issues. On the battlefield, there are many factors that can influence the outcome. You can't really see anything of value just by looking at the data on paper. Captain Amuro."
"Colonel."
Christina immediately saluted when she saw He Ming appear.
The crowd followed closely behind.
"Take a break."
After returning the greeting, He Ming stood on the terrace and watched as Ernesti, whose excitement had not diminished even after several days, was still asking Anaheim Electronics Technology Company technicians all sorts of questions. He didn't even spare Huso Ebin, who had just stepped off the V Gundam, and ran over to pester him to tell him about the V Gundam.
"Next, we'll head to Muzo. There, we're facing a threat from the Zanskar Empire."
He Ming withdrew his gaze and said seriously.
"The Zanskar Empire? Is it trying to coerce Zeon into joining them?" Amro pondered for a moment and then understood the Zanskar Empire's purpose.
"Yes, according to the intelligence we have, Artesia is planning a counterattack. Therefore, we must set off for Muzo tomorrow to support Artesia."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded and then dispersed to prepare for tomorrow's attack.
The ZETA Gundam-related tests have been completed; the next step is to examine its practical application.
"Artesia, is this another old acquaintance of yours?"
CC didn't leave, but stayed by He Ming's side, looking at him with a meaningful gaze.
“Aldesia has been by my side for a long time.”
SIDE3, Muzuo.
The arrival of the Zanskar Empire cast a shadow over this colony, which had just emerged from the shadows of the past and was once again illuminated by the brilliance of the Daiken.
However, compared to the increasingly somber mood of the citizens of Muzo, the PLANT delegation seemed to be in a more oppressive state.
After returning from a stroll around the port, Diego shook his head slightly at his expectant subordinates as he walked through the gate, then found Durandal sitting on the third-floor terrace, slowly enjoying the afternoon.
"Lord Durandal. The port remains closed. That so-called Zanskar Empire has seized control of all sea routes leading out of Muzo."
After Diego finished speaking, he looked at Durandal with a worried expression.
Originally, their delegation was supposed to leave Muzo immediately after the battle in which they plotted against the Titans.
Unexpectedly, Durandal suddenly fell seriously ill before his departure, forcing the delegation to stay longer and wait for Durandal's health to improve before making further plans. Then came the attack from the Zanscal Empire, which demanded that the Zeon Republic cooperate with the Empire's actions to launch a counterattack against the Earth Federation, and so on.
Faced with this series of changes, even the naturally optimistic Diego couldn't help but sigh at the capriciousness of fate.
If it weren't for a series of unexpected events, they would probably have already completed their mission and were on their way back to PLANT.
"Okay. Understood. Don't worry, Captain Diego. This is only temporary. Neither Muzo nor the Earth Federation Forces want to see the situation worsen further. We just need to wait."
Durandal was still somewhat pale, but recent "treatment" had made the PLANT diplomatic ambassador, who had suffered a series of accidents, much better.
"Are we still going to wait? Actually, we can cooperate..."
"No. We can just wait. Besides, what can a mere Nazca-class ship change?"
Durandal understood Diego's thoughts.
In order to leave Muzo as soon as possible, Diego has repeatedly hinted in various ways that his MS squads and Nazca-class warships should participate in the battle to help Muzo repel the invasion of the Zanscal Empire.
However, Durandal remained unwilling to budge.
Diego might not be able to see it, but Durandal could see it very clearly.
Not only will Muzo not fall, but he will also receive a strong and powerful reinforcement that will easily resolve the invasion of the Zanskar Empire.
Meanwhile, Diego's secret mission may also be completed ahead of schedule.
I'm having some writer's block tonight, so I'll only post two chapters for now and make up for it tomorrow!
