Chapter 247: The Falling Tombstone (Part 3)

Li Boyong was not surprised at all by the arrival of the ZAFT army.

If he wanted to minimize the damage to Earth, it would be best to contact the ZAFT army and cooperate at this time. Relying solely on the three Meteor Breakers he carried was not enough to split the satellite wreckage.

But the problem was that he had just stolen three units of the ZAFT army from Armory One and was in a state of being wanted by the ZAFT army.

Yes, wanted.

Because the ZAFT army couldn't find evidence that Li Boyong's unit belonged to the Earth Army, even if they knew in their hearts that it must be the Earth Army's doing, they could only treat them as space pirates and issue a wanted notice.

It was just that now Li Boyong's batch of "space pirates" wanted to work together with the ZAFT army to save the world, which was inevitably a bit absurd.

Just when Li Boyong was thinking about this and that, the operation MS of the Joule Team began to land on the surface of the wreckage to start blasting operations, but soon encountered an ambush by the lurking unit, and the GuAIZ in operation were shot down one by one by High Mobility Ginns 2.

"Colonel, they have started fighting over there." Captain Ian Lee saw this and asked: "What should we do now?"

After a pause, he added with some worry, "Could it really be a self-directed play by the Coordinators?"

Knowing what the other party was worried about, Li Boyong comforted: "Don't worry, even if it's a self-directed play, the ZAFT regular army may not take action against us at this time."

"Understood." Ian nodded and began to issue orders, "Communicator, start sending messages on the international rescue channel, MS unit prepare for sortie."

Seeing Captain Ian cooperate with his plan, Li Boyong nodded with satisfaction and stood up, "Then, I'll leave the ship to you. We will continue to maintain a safe distance using the Mirage Colloid system after going out, and then shoot the Meteor Breakers according to my instructions."

"Yes!"

————

On the other side, on the bridge of the Nazca-class flagship Voltaire of the Joule Team.

Due to the unexpected attack on the operation MS crushing the Junius wreckage, the entire bridge was in brief chaos.

"What? High Mobility Ginn?"

"No response from IFF?"

"What exactly happened?"

Facing the chaos, Yzak, as the captain, shouted to stop the chaos of his subordinates and issued orders in an orderly manner, "Don't be chaotic, the fleet starts to deliver beam rifles for the GuAIZ."

After a pause, Yzak ordered Dearka, who was fighting on the front line piloting a Gunner ZAKU Warrior: "Dearka, I will also sortie. Before that, protect the Meteor Breakers."

"Hey, hey, don't make things difficult for me; the opponent is a veteran."

Dearka complained habitually and was scolded by Yzak, "Don't be long-winded, give me some motivation."

After a pause, Yzak added: "Report the situation to the Minerva side and let them change the battle preparations for the MS unit."

"Yes!" The communicator began to execute the order, but after a moment, reported with a subtle expression: "Captain, come and see this..."

"What is it this time?"

Yzak, who had finished giving orders and was ready to sortie, walked impatiently to the communicator's side, saw the message displayed on the international rescue channel, and his face suddenly became incomparably strange.

"Damn it, are they treating us like fools?"

Cursing unpleasantly, Yzak said: "Report to the Minerva side, the Chairman is on that ship, wait for their judgment."

After speaking, Yzak rushed to the hangar in a rage.

And on the bridge of the Minerva, the crew members, who were already tense because of the enemies appearing on Junius Seven, experienced brief chaos after receiving the information released by the Phantom Pain unit on the international rescue channel.

"... Above, due to special circumstances, although our space pirate group captured your units, we have no relationship with the Ginn unit on Junius. Facing the crisis of Earth's destruction, we are willing to launch a joint action with you to save Earth together?"

First Officer Arthur Trine read the information above, his tone filled with hard-to-conceal anger. He couldn't hold back and turned to complain to his superior, Captain Talia Gladys, "Captain, these guys are actually saying this to us at this point..."

"Arthur, calm down." Facing the subordinate's loss of composure, Talia Gladys scolded.

Regarding the special unit that had previously stolen three Gundams, the ZAFT soldiers also had a clear idea of the other party's identity. Now that the other party was swaggering and saying something about a space pirate group, she wasn't unable to understand the subordinate's mood, and even she herself felt like she was being fooled like a fool.

But the current situation was indeed special, and the things that needed to be considered concerned all aspects.

So she hurriedly turned back and asked Chairman Gilbert in the VIP seat: "Chairman, at this stage, what judgment should we take toward this unit?"

"It's indeed difficult..." Chairman Durandal also narrowed his eyes with some difficulty, constantly calculating the influence of all aspects in his heart. After a moment, he decided: "At present, the crushing operation of Junius Seven is the top priority. If the other party doesn't attack, we can temporarily stop the pursuit of the other party."

After a pause, Chairman Durandal continued: "As for the so-called joint action, I think it should be left to the commander on the scene to judge. If the other party has any abnormal situation, we can take force directly."

"Understood." Talia Gladys nodded and re-issued the order: "MS unit sortie, the mission to support the Joule Team remains unchanged, but the judgment on the captured unit on the scene is left to Captain Joule. Communicator, convey the Chairman's order to Captain Joule as well."

When the order was conveyed to Yzak, he had just sortied piloting the Slash ZAKU Phantom.

Another troublesome thing came...

Yzak couldn't help but click his tongue, piloted his seat unit to rush to the scene, and connected to Dearka's communication, "Dearka, what is the situation?"

"The situation is very difficult. The opponent is a veteran, and they use the Ginn very skillfully. We are all novices who have just changed to GuAIZ R, fighting while covering the operation, and the unit damage is not small." Dearka reported while forcing the approaching enemy away with the Cerberus energy cannon.

"I'll be there soon. Before that, must hold the Meteor Breaker." Yzak said, and by the way, told the Chairman's judgment on the captured unit, "If they don't attack over there, you are not allowed to fire first."

"Really troublesome." Dearka complained, but had to accept the order, "Understood."

He cut off the communication with Yzak and began to direct the battle, "Those who received beam rifles, gather around me, cover the operation unit, and keep the operation unit away from those Ginns."

*Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep... *

As soon as the words fell, Dearka's seat unit detected four signals, which were Chaos, Abyss, Gaia, and the Dagger.

The captured unit from Armory One officially appeared. ===== CHAPTER 248 =====
