Two days later, everyone who had been temporarily on leave was summoned back to the small island, even Allelujah, who was in space, piloted the Gundam Kyrios down to Earth.
"I just received a report that the UINON fleet is crossing the Pacific Ocean, heading towards the Eurasian continent." Hong Long immediately reported to Wang Liu Mei and Yang Hui after receiving the intelligence.
"Good job, big brother. You should sit down and relax; let others handle this kind of thing," Yang Hui said.
Hong Long had always presented himself as Wang Liu Mei's bodyguard, but in reality, he was her older brother. He took on the role of a bodyguard simply because he felt he couldn't measure up to her in various aspects.
"I dare not…" Hong Long said nervously. He had been educated since childhood to see himself as a servant, dedicated to protecting his sister.
"Look at this, the drawbacks of a big family. We're all family, yet we have to create a hierarchy," Yang Hui said, feeling frustrated. He stood up and pressed down on Hong Long's shoulders, urging him to sit in an empty seat. Although he still maintained a tense posture and avoided looking around, it was much better than standing aside like a servant, wasn't it?
"You wouldn't understand since you weren't born into a big family," Wang Liu Mei shot Yang Hui a glance.
"The Smirnov family isn't small either, right? Although it's a military family, my brother and I are doing just fine," Yang Hui shrugged.
"That's because the Smirnov family built their reputation through strength. Who knew they would adopt someone like you…" Before she could finish, Wang Liu Mei suddenly stopped, remembering that Yang Hui was an orphan taken in by the Smirnov family. "...I'm sorry."
"What's there to apologize for? I think my parents, whom I've never met, would be very happy to see me like this now, especially since I found such a beautiful daughter-in-law for them."
"Such vanity," Wang Liu Mei teased, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew that even though they were still on leave, the situation had reached a critical point. "The AEU's MS units are also gathering at the Human Reform League's border, right?"
"A large-scale military exercise is about to begin. After the recent losses, the AEU must be itching to act," Yang Hui sneered.
"Any predictions on the location?"
"The Taklamakan Desert, enriched uranium landfill. My predictions align with VEDA's," Sumeragi said as she walked out of the room, looking weary.
"Thank you for your hard work. Come here, dear, let me give you a hug."
"Get lost." Sumeragi pushed away the increasingly close face and walked directly to Wang Liu Mei, leaning against her.
"Are we certain there will be conflict?" Tieria asked.
"I must say, Tieria, this kind of question doesn't suit an Innovator at all," Yang Hui said, pretending nothing had happened as he squeezed himself between Sumeragi and Wang Liu Mei, wrapping an arm around each of them while looking down on Tieria.
"What did you say?" Tieria's forehead bulged with veins.
"The three major powers suddenly announced joint military exercises. Isn't the purpose to draw us out? It's perfectly normal for them to send some die-hard soldiers and armed militants to their deaths to achieve that," Yang Hui explained.
"...I understand. What's the countermeasure?"
"It's already been formulated. If I'm not mistaken, armed militants will definitely attack the enriched uranium landfill in the next couple of days. The five Gundams will strike together; we must not act alone. Yang Hui, your role…"
"I'll cut into the battlefield from the southeast to draw their attention."
"...According to my calculations with VEDA, the three major powers will deploy at least 800 MS units, half of which will be attacking you. Are you confident?" Sumeragi asked with concern.
Is Yang Hui strong? Of course, he is!
But no matter how strong… he is still just one person!
As long as he is human, he will tire. Even if hundreds of MS units were delivered to him to fight, he would be exhausted, right? Not to mention the supporting artillery and missile units.
"Don't worry, it's impossible to wipe them all out, but I can escape safely," Yang Hui said. "However, their goal is definitely to keep me from supporting you, so the elite forces will not be on my side. Setsuna, Neil, Lyle, Allelujah, Tieria, you all need to be careful."
"Understood." X5
Except for Setsuna, who remained as calm as ever, the other four had fiery eyes, especially Tieria. Last time, he was nearly captured by the Human Reform League's Dingwu, and he had exposed the Nadleeh Gundam, which was a huge embarrassment for him.
"I definitely won't have time to command, Neil, you are the most composed among you, so I'll leave the on-site command to you. If anyone dares not to listen to you, heh heh heh…"
Setsuna & Dylandy Brothers & Allelujah & Tieria: o((⊙﹏⊙))o
...
In the base of the Overflag troops, Professor Eifman browsed through the mission brief. After reading it, he turned it off and stood by the window, looking at the sky.
"Total MS units: 80, participating MS over 1000 units. What a grand scale. Can you make it through safely, Myer?"
"Knock knock~"
"Come in."
"Professor." Billy Katagiri walked into Professor Eifman's office, looking at him with concern.
"Calm down, Katagiri. You have to trust them."
"...Isn't it really unnecessary to pass the intelligence to them?"
"It's useless. This is an open conspiracy. Even if they know it's a trap, they must step into it because they are Celestial Being."
"...Even with Gundams, it's hard to imagine they can survive under such an offensive."
"Trust them. That's all we can do."
"Yes, Professor."
...
At the Taklamakan Desert garrison base, the Dingwu troops led by Sergei had been waiting there. The Into the Array and Beiwei were fully prepared, maintaining their best condition at all times.
"How is the communication network prepared?" Sergei asked.
"All participating troops have confirmed that the communication network signal is good, and all MS units are online."
"I never thought I would team up with the AEU and UNION one day. It's really…" Sergei looked up at the sky with a bitter smile. Setting aside personal friendships, the three major powers had deep-seated enmity. Just a few Gundams had forced them to put aside their hatred and unite.
"The endpoint of the first phase, Xiao Hui, you must succeed in crossing over," Sergei prayed for Yang Hui in his heart, but he also had no intention of holding back. This was his pride as a warrior and a trial that the Celestial Being troops had to endure.
...
"Colonel, all MS units have entered the designated positions."
"The communication network has been established, confirming that all MS are connected."
"Good. All troops remain on standby at their current positions until the guests arrive," Kati commanded after hearing her subordinate's report.
"Understood!"
Kati was appointed as the commander for this military exercise. Although only AEU troops were fully under her command, in an emergency, she had the authority to advise the Human Reform League and UNION troops, even taking over all military power except for the elite forces.
"Enriched uranium landfill, deliberately allowing armed organizations to attack. Heh, what a clever plan. But Myer… how will you respond to this crisis?" Kati pondered.
