Chapter 1744 Durandal's Vision!
"Zanskar's flagship is retreating?!"
While they were locked in fierce combat with Zorroat, who was covering their retreat, Huso suddenly realized that the Almassa-class was about to escape. Enraged, he almost got ambushed by Zorroat, who had stayed behind to cover their retreat.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and managed to raise the beam shield of the V Gundam in time to block the beam sword thrust by the enemy. The Zoroat that was covering the rear was then destroyed by Hathaway's beam rifle from the Zeta Gundam.
"Hu Suo, are you alright?"
Hathaway watched as the V Gundam emerged from the smoke of the explosion and asked with concern.
"No! I'm fine. It's just that Almase is trying to run away."
“No rush. The colonel ordered us to release him! Huso, we need that warship to lead the way to Zanskar’s stronghold, or perhaps its colony.”
Hassawi's explanation startled Huso, who then responded with a sudden realization.
"Really? Is that so? It seems I almost messed things up."
"No, it's alright, Husso. The colonel understands what you're thinking, which is why he sent me to support you."
Hasavi offered words of comfort.
"I see! Well then, I understand! Thank you, Lieutenant Mafty!"
"There's no need to be so formal! Come on! Let's go back to the Judgment Ship!"
"it is good!"
With the Almassa-class space battleships and all other Zanskar battleships and mobile suits wiped out, the entire space was filled with the wreckage of Zanskar battleships and mobile suits, creating a particularly eerie scene.
"I never imagined that these warships, mobile suits, and even pilots from the future would die in this past timeline because of the ambitions of the Zanscal Empire."
Amuro's ZETA Gundam stood guard beside the Judgment, repeatedly checking the surrounding space before finally confirming it was safe, and welcoming back Hathaway and Huso.
Hearing Amro's sentiments, Hasavi was momentarily speechless; in a way, he too was a villager from the future.
As for Hu Suo, he didn't have many feelings about it.
Fundamentally, ever since he became a member of the Holy Military Alliance, he has been irreconcilably at odds with the Zanskar Empire.
"Let's go! Let's go back to Muzo!"
There was no need to clean up this battlefield. He Ming simply had people collect the relatively intact wreckage of the Zorroat and some warship wreckage whose functions and technologies could be identified, and then sent the Judgment back to Muzo.
These remains were not intended for research, but rather to prove the existence of the Zanskar Empire to Rebil and Tiam's faction, and to lay the groundwork for subsequent actions.
Once the existence of the Angel's Wheel is discovered, He Ming must gather all available Earth Federation fleets and launch an attack on this ring-shaped space facility, which is 20 kilometers in diameter and comparable to a colony satellite.
This will be a massive battle that will shake the super-Earth.
He Ming must use every means to lay a solid foundation for this battle.
SIDE3, Muzuo.
News of the Trial's victorious return quickly spread among the upper echelons of Muzo, and with Lamba Lal's tacit approval, some also informed the PLAN delegation stranded in the hotel.
"Lord Durandal, do you mean we need to make a request to the Punishment Force? Do we hope they can lead us to the moon?"
"Hmm. Is there a problem, Captain Diego?"
Durandal nodded slowly, smiling at Diego. "No. There's no problem at all. From a security standpoint, if we can get escort from the powerful Punishment Force, our journey to Earth will be much smoother."
Diego waved his hand and then pondered.
"But, Lord Durandal, we've received news that the Punishment Forces have just defeated the invading Zanskar Empire fleet and will likely be pursuing them. They probably won't be able to escort us for the time being, will they?"
"Heh. So what? Captain Diego."
Durandal's soft laughter suddenly made Diego feel uneasy.
"Wait! Lord Durandal, Your Excellency, you wouldn't be thinking of..."
"Yes. As expected of Captain Diego! You guessed right!"
Durandal sincerely praised Diego, but Diego refused to accept the compliment.
"Lord Durandal, please abandon your unrealistic ideas! We are merely a diplomatic mission and have no strength to participate in any war! The Nazca-class ship we possess is only for self-defense."
When he heard Diego vehemently deny the defensive capabilities of their delegation, Durandal's lips curled up slightly, and he spoke slowly.
"Is that so? But I don't think so, Captain Diego. After Muzo's repeated invasions, we should realize that the world has undergone some changes we didn't foresee. To ensure PLANT..."
Dylan Dalton paused for a moment, then continued.
"To safeguard the Solar System Human Innovation Alliance's future strategic space, we must proactively participate in these actions. And now, isn't this the perfect opportunity?"
Durandal's reasons and analysis left Diego speechless, unable to find any grounds for rebuttal.
True.
As the military attaché of the PLANT delegation and one of the future mid-to-high-ranking generals of the Solar System Human Revolutionary Alliance, Diego understands very well how important it is to take the initiative in this chaotic world.
However, he did not focus his efforts on his own delegation, but rather regarded the delegation as a communication bridge between PLANT and the Solar System Human Innovation Alliance and the various forces on Super Earth.
After his expression changed several times, Diego knew that he had been persuaded by Durandal.
He sighed, shook his head, and looked at Durandal.
"Lord Durandal, you have convinced me."
"No. Captain Diego wasn't convinced by me, but rather he recognized reality and grasped the key point."
Durandal did not boast of his achievements, but spoke in a deep voice.
“Captain Diego. Before that warship from the Valley returns to Muzo, we must hurry to the Prime Minister’s residence and submit our application to His Excellency Lamba Lal, the acting Prime Minister. Then, we just need to wait.”
Diego nodded silently.
"Alright! But won't doing this seem abrupt to Colonel Ming of the Punishment Force?"
"No. Not at all! Perhaps Colonel Ming would be very welcoming of our joining us."
A confident smile gradually spread across Durandal's lips.
