Deakin in Action
Chapter 1906 Deakin in Action
Artesia, He Ming, and the others returned from the Texas colony without alerting anyone. Instead, under the arrangement of Ramba Ral's wife, Hamon, they went to the cemetery where Gion Shim Deikun was buried and personally placed the coffin of Deikun's adoptive father, Tiapolo, into the pre-dug grave.
Besides the Deakin siblings and He Ming, the only people present were the Lamba and Larr couple, and the old cemetery keeper who had always stayed at the cemetery to guard the grave of the late Jeon Shim Deakin.
A series of low, muffled sounds came from the sky above Muzo, as if bidding farewell to Thiapolo, the adoptive father who raised the Deacon siblings.
With the first shovelful of earth laid by the Deacon siblings, Don Tiapolo Mars, who had raised the Deacon siblings to adulthood at all costs, even in the face of threats from the Zabi family, was finally able to rest in peace on the land where the Deacon were born.
The Deakins no longer needed to handle the follow-up matters.
Having already made preparations, Lamba Ral summoned several burly men with a wave of his hand, and they began to construct the grave that belonged to the adoptive father of the Deakin siblings according to plan.
Meanwhile, Artesia, dressed in black and wearing a black veil, once again came before the old man who had been guarding the grave of her father, Zeon Shim Deikun, since the beginning of the One Year War.
"Grandpa, it's been so many years. How are you doing?"
"Artesia said softly."
"Not bad! Not bad! Miss Artesia. When I first heard the news that you had returned to Muzo, I thought it was just nonsense from those people outside! I didn't expect that you really came back!"
As the old man guarding the tomb spoke his heart with emotion, he also sized up Xia (Yugu), who was dressed in black and solemnly watching the strong men build the tomb.
"Who is that?"
“That’s Char Aznabul. Old man.”
Artesia said firmly.
The old man guarding the tomb blinked, as if he had thought of something, and nodded.
"Really? So it was that red comet? But lately, I've heard some rumors about it!"
"I understand, old man. Don't worry! These are all minor matters."
Artesia naturally understood what the old gravedigger meant.
The fact that the elderly man, who had always lived a secluded life and devoted himself to guarding the tomb, had heard those rumors meant that those people could no longer contain themselves.
“Miss Artesia, I, as a gravedigger, know nothing of these things. Since you say everything is alright, I believe you. But…”
The old man guarding the tomb smiled and then turned his gaze to He Ming, who was talking to Ramba Lal.
Char Aznable is the famous Red Comet, and for some unspeakable reasons, he is certainly qualified.
The Ramba and Ralph Laar were key figures in the Daken faction.
In this context, He Ming, who had almost never appeared publicly on Muzo, was so conspicuous.
"Ahem, old man. That is my benefactor. Please don't misunderstand."
Artesia coughed lightly and then emphasized the kindness He Ming had shown her.
"Really? My benefactor! Very well, very well!"
The old man guarding the tomb gradually began to smile.
Some things don't need to be said face-to-face.
The simple funeral ended quickly.
As evening fell, some Muzo citizens who came to pay their respects to Gion Shm Deiken were surprised to find a new grave not far away. Upon closer inspection, everyone was shocked by the inscription carved on the tombstone.
"The adoptive father of Deacon's son rests here." Although the news that Don Tiapolo Mas raised Deacon and his sister was widely known in certain high-ranking circles, it did not spread to the general public.
Although Artesia's rise to power during the One Year War has been deeply ingrained in the public consciousness through years of propaganda by the Earth Federation, there is a complete blank regarding Artesia's experiences between the time Zeon Shim Deikun was poisoned and the outbreak of the One Year War.
It is evident that the discovery of this tomb caused a sensation, sparking a wave of worship throughout Muzo and even the Republic of Zeon.
"The port of Muzo has been operating at full capacity lately. Too many people are coming to Muzo to pay their respects to Mr. Thiapolo."
With a wry smile, Lamba Lal, holding the letter of appeal from the port authority, turned to Artesia, who was processing the important documents that had accumulated during this period, for help.
"Okay, pass on the word that I'm going to give a speech. Also, after the speech, implement a limit on the number of people allowed to visit the cemetery, and increase the number of staff to maintain order and protect the environment."
Artesia sighed softly.
To be honest, she hadn't expected that Muzo, and even the people of Zeon, would launch such a passionate wave of worship.
"Okay! The speech is scheduled for tomorrow?"
"No! It will be at dusk! And it will be broadcast to the entire Earth-Moon sphere."
Lamba Lal's expression immediately turned serious.
Artesia's planned broadcast to the entire Earth-Moon sphere is bound to cause a huge uproar.
"Yes! I'll arrange it right away."
Near a reef in the L3 space region, the farthest region from Earth.
A civilian spacecraft was approaching from a distance and docked with another civilian spacecraft that was stationed there.
As the pressurization process ended, the gates on both sides of the connection channel opened one after another, and both sides standing at their respective channel entrances saw each other.
On the surface, it was the first time the two had met.
But in reality, this is only the perception of one side, the side led by Papdimas Sirocco.
For the other party, Papdimas Sirocco, who was walking slowly into the connecting passage with a girl with short pink hair, was so familiar.
So familiar that in the past, he wished he could kill Papdimas Sirocco.
"Welcome! Welcome! Your Excellency Papidimas Sirocco!"
As memories of his past battles with Papdimas Sirocco flashed through his mind, Char (Neo Zeon) smiled warmly and shook hands with him.
"Commander-in-Chief Char Aznable. It's an honor to meet you!"
Sirocco was not surprised by Char's (Neo Zeon) enthusiasm.
The only thing that made him wary was that Char (Neo Zeon) was from the future.
The existence of Neo Zeon and the crisis it brings were made public after being embellished by the Earth Federation's propaganda department.
While the general public viewed Neo Zeon as an enemy from a parallel world, Sirocco, relying on the Titans, had already learned the truth: the Neo Zeon commander-in-chief before him was an enemy from the future.
And now, this future Neo Zeon commander-in-chief has taken the initiative to contact him through a secret network that even the Titans are unaware of.
"Commander-in-Chief, let's get straight to the point! What is your purpose in inviting me here?"
"Hahahaha! Very well! So, Lord Sirocco, I will help you gain control of the Titans, and you will help me defeat the Federation, how about it?"
