Chapter 77: Aslan takes action for a new friendship
"Captain!" The adjutant was anxious. In his heart, he admitted that Wang Hu was dangerous, but...
With a wave of his hand, Cruze stopped his adjutant from saying anything.

"If we give up this opportunity today, we may ruin the future of the entire Adjuster."

Beneath the slow and magnetic tone, there are words that are as cold as if you are falling into the abyss.

"This..." The adjutant looked at Cruze in disbelief as he said this, putting a mere natural person in such a high position.

It is even linked to the future of the adjuster? Isn't this too exaggerated?
I just thought that since Captain Cruze said this, then
Shaking his head, the adjutant said nothing more. He made up his mind and closed his eyes, determined to follow the captain till the end!

After all, the one in front of them is their ace card - Lao Lu Cruze!

"Understood, Captain Cruze."

After letting out a long breath, the adjutant adjusted his mindset and no longer showed any confusion or hesitation.

He was ready to follow Cruze's idea and immediately arrange the warship's route and coordinate with friendly warships to quickly rendezvous.

In addition, in order to prepare for the inevitable war that will follow, the adjutant must also keep track of the maintenance status of the Gundams on the ship.

Do our best to handle all logistical work so that Captain Cruze has no worries.

"Captain." Seeing that the argument between Cruze and his adjutant had finally come to an end, Nigel finally stated his purpose.

"I want to continue to fight in the next battle."

"Oh?"

Just when we had dealt with the adjutant over there, the lovely subordinates over here started to cause new trouble.

Cruze's eyes fell on Nigel with interest.

"I remember that your Thunderbolt Gundam also suffered considerable damage this time."

The implication is that he doesn't really agree. It's not that Cruze has suddenly become kind-hearted and is reluctant to let his subordinate go to die.

But the parents of this subordinate will definitely speak well of him on the PLANT because of his goodwill gesture.

It would be somewhat unfavorable to resist the recall orders from Chairman Patrick and Speaker Kulain, even with one's own status.

My shoulders and head are very hard, but there is no need to carry it all by myself.

"Aslan," said the honest Nigel.

"In the previous war, Aslan may have performed a little abnormally due to some reasons."

"In that case, I want to work on his part as well."

"Is that so?" Cruze nodded in understanding, and his bright eyes behind the mask fell on the determined eyes of his subordinate.

Because you are worried that your friend will be punished, you choose to take credit for yourself to offset the mistakes your friend made?
In fact, how could Aslan's performance in recent battles be so poor as to escape Cruze's attention?

The reason why he didn't get angry was that he was sure of Aslan's character. Cruze was waiting for the other party to come to him and confess.

Then take advantage of Aslan's confession to influence the other party's thoughts.

But I didn’t expect that the real owner hadn’t arrived yet, but there was an unexpected surprise.

So does this chess piece that accidentally falls into your hands have any useful value?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Cruze's mind, and he had a solution for any one of them.

Haha, I sneered disdainfully in my heart, what a touching friendship!

But on the surface, Cruze showed an approving smile.

"Nigel, I'm glad you have the heart to consider your friends."

"Aslan is truly honored to have a friend like you."

"Captain." Nigel blushed and lowered his head, showing a shy girlish look when praised by Cruze.

"I just want to help Aslan. It's not as good as you say, Captain."

"No." Shaking his head, Cruze continued to add negative pressure to Aslan.

"Many people just talk about it, but you are different. You put it into action." "No one can erase this point. You who have taken practical action can be called great."

"Captain!" Nigel raised his head suddenly, feeling that he could not bear such praise from the other party.

I just wanted to do something I wanted to do, so how come according to Captain Cruze, I have become great?
In order to prevent Captain Cruze from continuing to flatter him, Nigel quickly changed the subject.

"If the enemy Archangel hides in the Artemis Fortress protected by the Moon Umbrella, I think I have a way to break through that fortress!"

"Is it the Mirage System?" Nigel just asked, and Cruze thought of the ending.

"Yes." After hearing the captain reveal his plan, Nigel was full of admiration for him.

He then explained in detail the invisibility capabilities of the Mirage System.

"Is that so?" Cruze was fine with this. Success would be good, but failure would...
Cruze looked past Nigel and towards Aslan who had just come in. What would this chess piece think if he failed?

I'm really looking forward to it!

"Aslan?" Nigel, who was concentrating on explaining his plan, noticed the change in the captain's gaze and turned his head to look.

Only then did he realize that his good friend was looking at him with complicated eyes.

"Nigel." Aslan didn't hear the previous conversation between his friend and Cruze, but he was smart enough to think about the cause and effect.

How could Aslan not guess what Nigel, who disliked fighting, was going to do?

Everything is for myself!

Nigel quickly turned around and said that the honest man couldn't even stand Cruze's praise, so how could he stand Aslan's look at this time?
"Captain, do you have any additional instructions for my battle plan?" Nigel bowed half-heartedly, just wanting to end the discussion quickly.

"Okay." Cruze nodded helplessly and patted Nigel's shoulder in a pretentious manner.

"Be careful. I will have someone repair your Thunder Gundam as much as possible. If that is not possible, protecting your own safety will be the top priority."

"Yes, Captain!" He answered quickly, and without waiting for Aslan to say any words of dissuasion behind him, Nigel quickly turned around and left the bridge.

"Nigel!" Aslan stretched out his hand to grab his friend's shoulder, but of course he grabbed nothing with a sense of loss.

Seeing his friend floating out of the bridge, Aslan naturally refused to give up, and he pretended to chase after him.

"Aslan, wait a moment." At this moment, Cruze called out to the blue-haired nobleman.

"Captain, I'm very sorry for what happened in the previous battle."

When Aslan heard Cruze's cry, he had to resist the urge to chase after Nigel.

Turning around, Aslan apologized to Cruze with a sincere attitude.

"There's no need to mention what happened before. I believe you have your own difficulties."

The gentle Cruze comforted him verbally, watching the two people in front of him worrying about each other.

He just felt like laughing in his heart, but this was a good thing for him.

Like a viper spitting venom, Cruze seized this God-given opportunity and began to manipulate Aslan's mind.

His slow and persuasive words echoed in the bridge, and Aslan's face turned pale and blue as Cruze spoke.

"Captain!" Aslan swept away the confusion in his heart, and his eyes became extremely determined.

"I will never let Nigel down in the next battle, and I will never let you down, Captain!"

For the captain who believed in himself, for Nigel who believed in himself.

Aslan clenched his fists, Kira, I'm sorry!

If you continue to be stubborn, I will have no choice but to beat you up!

I will bring you back even if I have to tie you up!
