Chapter 143 Surrender or Escape
A few days passed, and soon He Kui received the news that Lux had set sail.

At the same time, Aegis put on a cloak and secretly boarded a Lorasia-class cargo ship.

"Hello."

The captain in black curiously observed Aegis as he boarded the ship.

Aegis's entire body, including her head, was covered in a cloak, and her face was completely covered by a full-coverage metal mask that was even more excessive than Cruze's, making it impossible to see the true appearance of her skin underneath.

"Excuse me."

Aegis bowed.

"no problem!"

I thought that this girl might be related to the popular Director He.

Although it was a bit strange why she wanted to go to Julius VII, the black-clad captain's face became a little more enthusiastic.

"Then please follow me. The room has been arranged. We expect to arrive near Julius 7 on February 2nd."

"But we can only stay for about an hour. If we stay longer, we'll be suspected."

"I understand"

"As for the food, shall I arrange for someone to deliver it?"

"No, I brought some dry food."

Having said that, Aegis returned to his room.

There were no accidents along the way. On the way to the waste trader's trading port, just as they arrived at the edge of L5 and L3, the captain stopped near Julius VII because of the appropriate reason that there was a problem with the ship.

Enhance the display through the mask.

He Kui could see from the window of the room the broken wreckage of Julius VII floating aimlessly in the universe.

But there was no rescue signal and no situation.

One hour. Although he calculated the travel time of the Lux Silver Wind and considered the result comprehensively, it should arrive within an hour.
But if the estimate is really wrong, you can only use plan B.

The anxious waiting time was passing by minute by minute, and there was still no sign of human activity in this space except for the ruins of Julius VII.

Only about half an hour passed.

The ship's communication that He Kui had been waiting for for a long time echoed in the room.

"captain?"

"We have received a distress signal from the Silver Wind, and the escort team is ready to go."

"They actually attacked Miss Lux's consolation group!"

"How many people are there on the other side?"

He Kui breathed a sigh of relief and quickly raised it up, asking carefully.

"One Drake-class ship and three Mobius ships! We'll go up to provide support now, please stay safe."

He originally thought that he only had three Jin Ens, which was already considered a shortage of personnel.

Unexpectedly, the other side had fewer people than them.

"Ok."

He Kui said softly.

But before they had to take any action, the Red Heretic that suddenly appeared used something like a samurai sword to chop off the thruster on the side of one of the Mobius.

“It’s very sharp.”

The cabin screen in the officer's cell was connected to Lolaxia's screen.

This is the perfect time to see the Red Heretic's actions.

The knife was able to cut Mobius so cleanly and neatly, and it was sharper than the heavy knife used by Jin En.

Just after the three Mobius tanks lost their combat effectiveness, the Drake class, which could only fire missiles, fled in panic when they saw the Lorasia class approaching from a distance.

I always feel like he was fighting a battle of wits with the air for a long time.

If he had known that there was someone to help him, he would have come here by himself.

There is no need to find a Lorasia class ship.
While thinking about the red heretic ahead, something unexpected happened suddenly.

Two familiar Jinns suddenly appeared and attacked the Red Heretic.

They were old acquaintances that I had met before in DSSD, but this time the two planes were clearly targeting the Red Heretic.

What is the situation?

He Kui was at a loss as he watched the Red Heretic and the other two machines disappear in an instant.

On the other side, the engine of the Silver Wind was completely paralyzed. Not long after, Lux and others took the shuttle boat to the cargo ship.

"Why is Captain Hawke here?"

The commotion just now seemed to have no effect on Lux. She was sitting in the hangar of the Lolaxia-class plane, holding two Haro dogs, one blue and one pink, in her hands, and still spoke in a light-hearted manner.

There was an antenna-like component standing on the head of the blue Haro in his hand.

"Yes, the ship has a problem and is temporarily docking for inspection."

The captain responded with a tense expression.

This is Lux, the national idol. It's hard not to be nervous when seeing her like this.

Moreover, he used a cargo ship to secretly bring people here, which strictly speaking was a violation of the rules.

"I see. Is the inspection complete?"

Lux smiled, and had a rough idea of ​​whether what the captain said was true or not. "It's done, let's escort Miss Lux back."

The Drake class ran away, and they didn't chase after the Silver Wind because they were worried about it.

Because they had to receive communication from the Silver Wind, they did not turn on the neutron jammer just now.

Compared to sightseeing with He Kui's friends, Lux's safety is more important at this time.

"No hurry, I still have to do the memorial service here."

Lux said softly.

"but!"

"Aren't you all here? So I'll be fine."

"Miss Lux"

Hearing that Lux was determined to pay tribute regardless of her own safety, the captain's eyes were filled with tears.

He Kui twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

It is indeed impossible for Lux to go back like this.
To say that she was scared away by a Drake-class ship even though she had a Lorasia-class guard?

It will have an impact on her popularity.

For the Klein faction, the Sara faction had already labeled them as weak and yielding.

So at least in public, a fearless attitude should be displayed.

If the Archangel doesn't come, He Kui won't stop it.
"I think it's better to go back first."

Aegis said in a cold voice after quietly appearing in the hangar.

"Who is this~?"

Looking at this girl who was wrapped tightly all over her body, Lux always felt a little bit out of place.

"Aegis, a passer-by."

He Kui continued after introducing himself.

"I heard that Cruze's squadron raided Heliopolis, and one of the new ships escaped. If they haven't been fully replenished, there may be a shortage of supplies for the new ships."

"Without water, people can't survive for more than three days, and the nearest water source to L3 is here. Although I'm not sure I'll come here, I don't think it's necessary to take the risk."

He didn't want to take risks with Lux here, and he also had his own selfish motives in not letting Lux board the Archangel.

Don't let Lacus and Kira meet each other's eyes. No matter how the plot changes, she should not steal her freedom.

This will make PLANT's political situation much more stable. Sarah is not as radical as she was in the show. With the help of that big killer and the influence of the Klein faction on Earth, as long as they can find a way to get rid of the big boss, they may be able to directly force the Atlantic Federation to negotiate peace or even surrender.

Then everyone should do what they should do.

But we still have to be on guard against Cruze. Even though there are no signs right now, he doesn't have much time left and he must be unable to wait any longer.

"is it?"

While the two were still talking, the Archangel not far away also discovered the Lorasia-class ship floating in front of Julius VII.

"Is that the Loracia class?"

Mu, who was explaining the story of Julius 7 to everyone on the bridge, was stunned.

"It doesn't look like the Rolaxia class from the Cruze team. Judging from the identification signal, it should be a ZAFT cargo ship."

Bakilulu said as everyone looked towards Maru.

Time waits for no one, even though their radars are ahead of the other.

But it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.

While they were still struggling, the Lorasia-class ship also discovered the Archangel's scan, and the alarms throughout the ship began to sound wildly.

"Has the Union ship returned?"

The captain turned on the communicator on the wall and asked hurriedly.

"No, it's a new type of ship?"

Only a blurry shadow of a ship was projected on the screen in front of me.

"Archangel. A new type of ship of the Atlantic Federation. Retreat quickly."

He Kui spoke hurriedly, and the captain began to remotely command Lolaxia to turn around.

“We can’t let them leave.”

Seeing the actions of the Lolaxia class, Maru made up his mind.

After all, it is a ZAFT ship. Even if it is a cargo ship, it is a ZAFT military cargo ship. If they let them go, the news of their whereabouts will definitely leak out.

Marius showed no extra mercy to his enemies.

To be honest, many of the people in the maintenance team at the Aurora Factory were shot by Cruze's team.

Not to mention that this type of military cargo ship is also capable of combat.

"Did you still bump into it?"

He Kui gave a bitter smile in front of the screen, while another screen showed the location information of the Gamow that he had conveyed to Cruze's team through ordinary transfer.

He used Lux's rescue energy communication to locate Haro. On the one hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to find him, and on the other hand, it gave him an excuse to look for reinforcements in a legitimate way.

However, we need to use the Lorasia class and three ordinary Jinn under the command of Archangel to hold out until the reinforcements arrive.
He Kui, who had just been complaining about how smoothly things were going, now had cold sweats breaking out from his palms.

Surrender or escape?
