In the anime industry, I stand at the forefront of popularity

[I just think heresy is not good-looking, it reveals the key points and is ugly]

[The heretic should be Orb's machine, it depends on how Orb changes it later]

I'd rather see ZAFT's next generation machine. The Gundams here are all stolen. I think they showed the development of a new machine before, but I don't think they showed any footage.

[They haven't developed anything yet. Only a month or two have passed in the story. How can it happen so fast?]

[I am more curious about when Aslan will rebel]

[It feels like it’s coming soon]

The audience discussed Aslan, and the stage picture also gave Aslan.

At this time, Aslan had already arrived at the spaceport with the rest of Team Cruze. On the spaceport's television, Aslan's father, Patrick Sala, was giving an impassioned speech.

"--However, since the situation continues to evolve in this way, we have no choice but to take appropriate measures..."

"Aslan!"

Nicol's voice came from behind.

"Nichol!"

Aslan greeted Nigel.

"Aslan seems a little different today than before. He's much more cheerful." Nicol said with a smile.

"Is there?" Aslan himself didn't think so.

"Ah, Aslan before always felt like he was about to be crushed, but now it's as if the burden has been lifted off his shoulders." Nicol sincerely felt for Aslan.

"Is it because your fiancée is finally safe and sound?" Isaac also floated over.

Aslan said nothing.

He and Lux had actually "blown it off".

But Aslan would never say such words.

If Lacus didn't clarify, Athrun wouldn't say anything.

Athrun and Lacus knew each other from the very beginning under a marriage arranged by their parents.

Aslan didn't originally have any girl he liked, and Lacus didn't seem to have too many doubts about this decision.

So, the two sides temporarily "succeeded" at that time.

But in fact, this is just a "show" by adults.

The son of Patrick, Chairman of the ZAFT Defense Committee, and the daughter of Plant, Chairman of the Supreme Council, became a couple. This was a union of the best political resources for both parties.

However, if you ask whether the feelings between them are love...

If it were before, Aslan felt that he would probably answer "I don't know".

As for Lacus, Aslan certainly likes her, respects her, and is willing to protect her.

If Lux said she wanted to be with him for life, he wouldn't refuse.

But now, Aslan will clearly say: "This is not love."

If Lacus still says that he wants to be with her for life, Athrun will respect that, until... Lacus finds her true love.

But Isaac and the others didn't know what Aslan was going through, and they were quite happy at this time.

[It's quite strange. Everyone thinks Aslan is in a good mood because his fiancée is safe, but in fact, Aslan is in a good mood because his fiancée is gone.]

[I just want to know whether Athrun will choose Cagalli or Kira in the end]

I think it's probably Cagalli.

[It is obvious that Kira is true love]

[Liking Kira is like packing up and taking Yui and Lacus away, which is obviously impossible.]

[Athrun: I finally got rid of Lux, and you let Lux come again?!]

[Qimei is basically Aslan's nightmare, almost becoming his inner demon. Obviously, it's impossible.]

[Emotion is a process of elimination]

[Cagalli is pretty good and responsible. I think she's a good match, but she's a bit reckless.]

[A pure fool]

[She's quite beautiful even though she doesn't speak]

[Such a cute girl, but it’s a pity that she has a mouth]

Here, Aslan and his group boarded the transport plane heading to Earth.

"Why can't I see Captain Cruze?" Diego asked.

"Captain Cruze was kept here by his superiors. There are new operations under discussion, so let me take charge temporarily," said Aslan.

"This time on Earth, we must sink the Long Legs!" Isaac also clenched his fists.

All the Gundams have been equipped with equipment for use in the atmosphere, but the "Long Legs" over there not only have no supplies, but have even been attacked. Their current condition must be bad.

This isn't 800,000 versus 600,000, it's 800,000 versus 60,000!

The advantage is in the nest!

After entering the transport ship, everyone prepared to head to Earth.

This shouldn't be a difficult journey. After all, the transport ships are two Loracia-class ships.

So after entering the Holy Shield standby mode, Aslan took a nap directly to conserve his energy for later.

"Um……?"

However, the next moment, when Aslan woke up, he heard an alarm coming from outside.

"what happened?!"

Aslan immediately connected to the bridge.

"It's the Earth Federation fleet! We've been ambushed!"

The two Lolaxia-class ships were already close to the planned launch orbit, but at this moment, they happened to be attacked by the Earth Army!

"Wait, the enemy's lineup... is it waiting for us here?!"

Aslan spotted the problem immediately.

——This army was waiting here specifically to ambush me.

The information was leaked!

This was Aslan's first thought.

"Hey, hey, hey, how could this happen!"

Because it is about to enter the descending orbit, the situation is now extremely dangerous.

"It's probably the Cosmos!" Aslan guessed. "They're probably here for revenge!"

Last time, it was Team Cruze that ruined Blue Cosmos's plan to seize the Archangel.

And this time, these people are probably here for revenge!

Three Pascal-class ships can't defeat it, but two Lorasia-class ships are easy to defeat!

In an instant, Aslan came to a conclusion: "I will attack to delay time, and leave this area immediately after the transport ship is deployed!"

"Aslan, what about you?!" Yitzhak shouted.

"The G-series can enter the atmosphere on its own. I can... go down on my own!"

Chapter 388 Cruze: Blame me?

[Kruze did not board the ship]

[Athrun is the captain]

[It must be a conspiracy]

[If there is no conspiracy, I will pee upside down]

[How could someone come to my door without an insider?]

[Last time, I summoned Blue Cosmos to fight the Archangel, this time I summoned Blue Cosmos to fight my own people]

[But why?]

[I don't know why, but there must be a conspiracy]

[Something must be wrong]

Unfortunately, the audience guessed wrong.

Cruze went to plot with Patrick.

Although there was indeed someone plotting something, that person was not Cruze.

Cruze is the scapegoat, this wave belongs to him.

"bring it on--"

In the cockpit of the Aegis Gundam, Aslan's fingertips slid across the tactical map in front.

After the transformation, the True Red Holy Shield did not have time to install the newly produced full-circle cockpit, but it did install some new projection equipment.

"One minute until combat contact!"

A slightly hoarse voice came from the bridge communication, "Captain Sarah, please... prepare yourself!"

Although I know that Aslan is an elite and the Crimson Shield can enter the atmosphere alone, but knowing that is still a bit scary.

"Ah."

The hydraulic locks on the Crimson Shield's limbs were released. Athrun slowly walked from his fixed position onto the catapult.

"Indeed, I'll go too!" said Nicol.

"You stay here, that's an order! If we get another one, there's no point in covering us! If you want to help, lend me your anti-ship sword."

In Cruze's absence, Aslan is the acting captain.

"Athrun Zala, Crimson Shield, attack!

The sudden acceleration of the magnetic catapult track pressed Aslan's back against the seat.

Four Mobius missiles were pouring out from the belly of the Agamemnon class, and countless missile groups were also constantly attacking. The air defense firepower of the Loracia class had been fully opened, but it was a drop in the bucket.

The red beam of the Kraken Monster drew an arc in the vacuum.

The improved True Crimson Shield can launch Kraken Beasts without transforming into a mobile armor.

The light swept across the air.

All the missiles caught by the True Crimson Holy Shield exploded and turned into orange-red fireballs.

The Holy Shield flipped its body with the shock wave of the explosion, transforming into a mobile armor, and its thrusters spewed out azure flames.

"So fast!"

The speed of the True Crimson Holy Shield is even faster than the previous Holy Shield.

The transformed machine flew through the dense barrage of bullets in a zigzag trajectory.

After rushing into the crowd, Aslan transformed back into MS form and slashed at Mobius in front of him, cutting the mobile armor in half.

[Slashing with the wind]

[handsome!]

[Suddenly I feel that heresy is not so attractive anymore]

[I declare that the Crimson Shield is my dream machine]

[To be honest, heresy is not pretty at all, and the exposed joints are really unbearable]

[The heretic is just like the Ashigaru of Nihong, only the key parts have armor, too low]

[Crispy +1]

[The Holy Shield isn't pretty at all, but I really like the Red Holy Shield.]
