A Reluctant Retreat!
Chapter 1925 A Reluctant Retreat!
"What are you doing? Instead of going to the front lines to kill the rebels, you're making things difficult for a law-abiding citizen like me!! What are you federal soldiers good for?!"
Drawn by the unusual activity, He Ming, who was already preparing to strike, unexpectedly caught a big fish.
However, now is not the time to interrogate this big fish.
After instructing Lieutenant Berg to keep a close watch on Theo Fairchild, He Ming prepared to board the Banshee Gundam and launch an attack to completely quell the fighting inside the colony and finish the job.
"Wait! This, this Federal Colonel!"
Just as He Ming arrived at the Banshee Gao Da's side, Cecily's voice came from not far away.
This was not an accident.
Rather, Cecily did it intentionally.
From the moment Theo Fairchild was captured on the spot by He Ming until he was taken to the detention room, Cecily did not utter a single word.
Clearly, she understood that He Ming would not let Theo Fairchild off the hook because of her one-sided account.
The only chance to offer an explanation is probably at this moment.
“If you’re here to beg for your adoptive father’s life, I think you can give up that idea. Because behind this fight, there’s also his own selfish motive, Cecily Fairchild.”
After thinking for a moment, He Ming gestured to the federal soldiers that they didn't need to stop Cecily, and then casually said something.
Because of this sentence, Cecily, who was about to go forward and say something, froze on the spot.
"He...this federal colonel knows the truth?!"
Cecily's eyes widened slightly as the Banshee Gundam slowly took off, and the sounds she had heard before reappeared in her mind.
However, she didn't hear it very clearly this time.
“Miss Cecily Fairchild. Please return to the resettlement area and await further instructions. This area is now under Level 1 combat alert. Ordinary civilians are not permitted to enter without authorization.”
Lieutenant Berg watched as the Banshee Gundam took off and led all the mobile suits toward the port, then immediately went to Cecily's side and reminded her.
"Oh, yes. I'm sorry to have troubled you, Lieutenant."
"No! Please, you and your friends, just follow the rules here!"
Lieutenant Berg waved his hand and immediately turned to arrange follow-up troops and ammunition supplies for the accompanying personnel.
Director Roy went to contact high-ranking generals, but there has been no news to date.
Therefore, it is clear that after this battle, Colonel He Ming, who was punished, will inevitably become the highest-ranking officer directly in charge of this colony.
Once the Earth Federation, which is located in what Curator Roy calls the past, recognizes this colony satellite, even if it is only temporary, it will become official.
Therefore, Lieutenant Berg didn't want to let such a great opportunity slip away!
One side inside the border port No. 4.
Commander Dorell Rona of the Death Vanguard stood solemnly at the cockpit door, watching as the battered and retreating friendly mobile suits passed by his location and returned to the fleet.
(Dorel Rona)
"What exactly happened inside this colony? How could the supposedly weak Earth Federation Forces possess such formidable resistance, managing to hold back our forces?!"
"Haha! Captain Dorell Rona. I heard from those cowardly retreaters that two unusual mobile suits have appeared in the Earth Federation's mobile suit force inside the colony."
Not far away stood another man, a man whom Dorell Rona considered a rival: Captain Sabine Charles.
"Are you scared, Captain Sabine Shar?"
Dorell Rona reached to his waist, took out the telescope from its storage box, and asked while observing the interior of the colony.
"Haha! I can't tell if I'm scared or fearless. Because I've heard far too many adjectives from the retreating friendly troops."
Sabini's eyepatch, used to cover his right eye, gleamed as he slightly nodded.
“Demons, ghosts, even untouchable and unobservable evils.”
"What kind of adjectives are these? Does the Earth Federation Forces have the technology to create demons?"
Dorell Rona sneered and pointed to the city inside the colony.
"If the Earth Federation Army could really summon evil things like demons, shouldn't the civilians on this colony have been sacrificed by the Earth Federation long ago?"
Sabine Charles shrugged and offered his opinion.
"I don't know either. But judging from their description, it seems that the Earth Federation Forces have developed some kind of new technology, a weapon that we don't yet understand."
"That's a fairly rational analysis."
Dorell Rona's gaze shifted slightly, and he said in a cold voice.
"The Federation forces are here! And they've amassed a considerable force! It seems the Federation forces here intend to retake the port!"
Sabine Shar moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then he turned and went back into the cockpit.
Dorell Rona thought Sabine Shar wanted to strike first, repel the Federation army's attack, and gain credit, but instead he received a bolt from the blue.
"Captain Dorell Rona. Emergency! Our fleet is under heavy attack from the Earth Federation fleet and is struggling to resist. We are required to withdraw immediately and cover the fleet's retreat!"
"What?! Captain Sabine Shar? Are you kidding me?!"
Dorell Rona roared, clearly not believing Sabine Charles's words.
"I'm not kidding you! The flagship is currently broadcasting a recall message to all commanders at the front. You can listen to it."
Sabine Shar calmly shook his head, then looked up at the Federation MS force that was rapidly approaching in the distance.
“My squad and I will provide cover. Captain Dorell Rona, you take…”
"Shut up! I know what I'm doing!"
Dorell Rona gave a shout and returned directly to the cockpit, presumably to contact the flagship.
With the Federation's mobile suit forces about to arrive, Dorell Rona finally made a move.
After signaling his squad to retreat, he ordered all friendly forces that had not yet entered the port to speed up their evacuation. Only after Sabine Shar and other friendly forces had successfully evacuated did he and his men sabotage the large passageway leading to the port.
Although a hasty attack would not cause devastating damage to the main passageway to the port, it could temporarily halt the pursuers.
This can be seen as a brief outburst from Dorell Rona, who was feeling resentful about his defeat.
"Federal Army!! You just wait!! I'll be back!!!"
