Chapter 65: The Battle Begins, a Battle That Cannot Be Lost
"Aslan, Yitzhak, Diego, Nigel."

Cruze certainly wasn't the type to act rashly when he drove the King and four Gundams away from his own battleship.

The man who rushed forward without hesitation when he saw his opponent, and the four second-generation officials behind him.

What needs to be explained still needs to be explained. Calling out the names of his subordinates one by one, Cruze looked at the four people wearing helmets on the screen.

Cruze's gaze lingered for a while, especially on the faces of Aslan and Isaac.

"Captain." "Captain."

Athrun and the others also noticed Cruze's gaze.

Aslan was feeling nervous because of his lack of effort in the last battle and because of Kira.

The blue-haired boy had been hesitating whether to tell the truth, and after the battle he had not seized the opportunity to contact Cruze.

Isaac was relatively simple. He was a straightforward and impatient person and he just thought that his poor performance in the last battle had left a bad impression on Cruze.

Although Aslan next door did not perform much better than himself, Yitzhak, who had always been competing with him, felt that.

Failure to suppress Aslan is a failure.

"The previous battle was nothing. The operation and debugging of the Gundam were not perfect."

To encourage his subordinates, Cruze, who had almost maxed out his skill of bewitching people, uttered his magnetic voice.

"So this battle is your real first battle. I look forward to your performance!"

There is no excessive long speech, no long paragraphs of nonsense, just two simple sentences relying on Cruze's personal charm.
The effect is outstanding!

After hearing what his captain said, Aslan's guilt reached an extreme level.

I had such a terrible performance in the last battle, but my captain not only didn't blame me, he actually had high expectations of me!

Kira, even if I face you this time, I will be serious.

Isaac was in a similar situation to Aslan, and he was even more excited because he didn't want to be inferior to anyone.

Although he didn't say anything, he had secretly vowed in his heart that he must achieve excellent results in this battle.

As for Diego and Nicol.

Diego, a veteran on the battlefield who has aged prematurely and learned everything by himself, has better resistance, but one thing is certain.

For his first battle, he didn't want to perform too badly on the premise of protecting himself.

Similarly, Nigel, who didn't like fighting, also became serious for a rare time.

After all, the one who came was the famous Wang Hu of the Allied Forces.

If you are not careful, you will die here.

"Captain, please rest assured!"

There were many thoughts in their minds, but they only showed in a flash, and the four of them responded to Cruze's expectations in unison.

"Yeah." With an elegant nod, Cruze followed the established tactics.

He flew alone in the Xigu towards Egasus, which was already visible to the naked eye.

"Aslan, don't hold me back this time."

As soon as Cruze left, the white-haired Izak immediately started to act up.

He fired directly at Aslan during the internal communication between the four people.

"The captain said before that Wang Hu's attack was a feint, and the purpose was to lure the captain away."

"The next attackers must be the United Army's Mobius Zero and the Strike Gundam."

“So if you don’t have confidence, or your performance is still very bad.”

"Then you might as well just retreat back to the battleship and don't get in the way of me shooting down that damned natural man's MS."

"Isaac." Diego, Baimao's good friend, came out to act as a peacemaker, trying to say a few words to ease the relationship.

After all, Aslan's father is the official boss of the ZAFT army. Is it really not a big deal to offend Aslan?

"Huh, Diego, was I wrong?" Isaac was ungrateful and didn't even want to listen to what his friend said and continued to criticize him.

"coming."

Aslan did not argue with Isaac, but looked at the distance after Captain Cruze chased Egsas away.

Mobius Zero suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and he gripped the joystick of the Aegis Gundam tightly.

In addition to secretly admiring Captain Yu Cruz's foresight, he was also worried and confused about one thing.

So why didn’t the Strike Gundam driven by Kira appear?

"That's true."

Cruze chased after Egasus who turned around and ran away after seeing him, and the appearance of another Mobius Zero through telepathy did not escape his eyes.

Chuckling softly, Cruze was very pleased in his heart even though he didn't say anything.

Although he was tricked by Wang Hu about the destination of the Archangel.

But this time, Wang Hu's strategy was completely under his control.

"Wang Hu, do you think your trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain can fool me?"

As usual, Cruze raised his hand and sent a directional communication to Egasus who was still fleeing in front.

During the communication, he said to the person he thought was Wang Hu.

"You overestimate Mu! He and Kira alone cannot break through the encirclement of four Gundams!"

"You are so arrogant that you will definitely regret your choice today! This is the original sin of mankind!"

Mu, who was in Egasus, almost bit his teeth when he heard what Cruze said.

He wished he could turn around and fight Cruze to the death. Wang Hu felt this way, but he didn't expect Cruze to feel the same way.

How much do these people look down on themselves!
I am also Mu.la.Flada, known as the Eagle of Endymion!
How come no one takes himself seriously nowadays?

But he resisted the urge to go back and beat up Cruze, and instead opened the communication channel to curse at Cruze.

After taking a look at the coordinates on the console, Cruze still has a chance to go back from this position.

For the sake of the overall situation!
Mu stepped heavily on the accelerator pedal of Egasus again. He chose to endure the humiliation.

After all, if Wang Hu’s plan succeeds!
With flames of anger in his eyes, Mu fantasized about what would happen to Cruze if he was defeated.

When I reveal the truth in front of him, Cruze will be filled with regret!
Yeah, I want to see it!

"Hmm?" After Cruze sent the message, he didn't receive a response from Wang Hu for a long time.

A trace of doubt arose in his heart. Isn't this the style of Wang Hu?
But the Egasus in front of him couldn't be fake! After thinking about it.
"It must be a trick to lure me away from the battleship."

Looking down at the coordinates, Cruze explained it to himself, then he stepped on the accelerator.

There is no reason why his four Gundams and a battleship would be unable to defeat his disappointing son and the fledgling Kira Yamato.

At least I can hold on until I get back, right?

After thinking it over several times in his mind, Cruze didn't think any accidents would happen.

With five against two, the Mobius Zero's weapons can't hurt the Gundam!
Without a doubt, the advantage is mine!
"coming."

Aslan shouted as he watched the captain's boat, the Sigu, going farther and farther away.

The enemy Mobius Zero has entered the attack range!
"Shoot!" Aslan controlled the Aegis Gundam and raised the beam rifle. He fired the first shot.

"Stop ordering me around. You're not the captain." Just one step slower than Aslan, Isaac followed closely behind.

Even with such a small time difference, Isaac felt that he was outdone by Blue Hair.

So with an indignant expression, Yitzhak rushed forward while firing.

"Isaac!" Seeing his friend's impulsive look, Diego followed him.

"Izak! Diego!" Seeing this, Nigel, who had a similar personality to Kira, decisively activated the Mirage System of the Thunderbolt Gundam.
