Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Despite the three heroes' best efforts, there were simply too many enemies, and the enemy's sporadic reaction fire seemed poised to crush the Allied forces at any moment.

With all the missiles on the Archangel launched, the three warships were already badly damaged.

The Minerva's positron cannon was destroyed by the damaged VF fighter, and the Archangel's high-energy beam cannons on its two legs were also destroyed by enemy reaction cannons. Apart from the positron cannon, the Archangel was basically destroyed.

"Retreat quickly! The enemy is running out of energy and ammunition! Take advantage of this time to retreat!" Zhang Xun shouted in the communication, piloting the Archangel away from the battlefield ahead of schedule.

The other two warships also began to withdraw. The Suzheng Agreement originally had a lone cruiser that wanted to pursue it, but Asuka directly stood on the warship and used his ship-slaying sword to slash horizontally and then turn around to slash diagonally, cutting off the bridge that had sneaked into the bow and severing the connecting bridge behind the bow of the John Walton-class ship.

Zhang Xun, who was fleeing in the distance, watched as the bird, which had been remotely charged three times by Minerva and used up all its weapons in close combat, became a target.

"Why is everyone in the Gundam universe so obsessed with the bridge? Besides the four Asuka ships sunk by positrons, they also sliced ​​two of mine. I was saving my strength for you, but you really dared to slice my face!"

"Natal, tell me the battle statistics for both sides in this fight." Zhang Xun released the helm, wiped the sweat from his brow, and took a sports drink from the android next to him.

Natal took a drink from the robot next to her and said while drinking, "The Earth Force dispatched 30 surface ships of various types, losing 24 ships and 462 mobile suits. Orb dispatched 6 surface ships, with only 21 mobile suits and 1 surface ship surviving, but most of the crew evacuated to the Archangel."

"The Purge Agreement resulted in the loss of 6 warships and 429 VF fighters. Nearly 4% of the fighters were destroyed by Kira and his two companions, 2% were destroyed by the Phantom Pain Force, and another 2% were destroyed by you. It can be said that you were the one who hurt your own people the most."

"It's not that I emptied all my ammunition and just swiped the positron cannon at the fighter jets and cruisers, is it?!"

"I forgot to mention that you sank 26 mobile suits and 1 surface ship of the Earth Force while you were at it. You have the highest KDA among all the battleships."

He glanced at the port and said, "How about we don't go into port?"

"Captain, the Archangel is basically in a terrible state right now. Where did you go to get it repaired this time? If you return to the purge agreement, what are your plans for the future?"

Dejected, Zhang Xun could only slump in the captain's chair, watching the port archangel slowly sail into the dock on the screen.

After all the warships of the three parties entered the port, maintenance work began immediately, and all four leaders gathered in the port's conference room.

Talia stared coldly at Yurein, while Maru looked at Zhang Xun and Natal.

Talia asked first, "So your Earth military knows about the Purge Covenant organization, right?"

Yuri didn't resist and looked at the others, saying, "Shouldn't you ZAFT know this too? Why are you asking me? Besides, why would the Earth military share intelligence with ZAFT?"

Zhang Xun looked at Neil Yulein strangely. Although Uncle Mu had stopped working with the masked man, his mask had been inherited by someone, and it was a blonde woman with a big car logo. But what was this big pink mask that looked the same as the one?

When Yu Laiyin saw Zhang Xun looking at her, she tilted her head at him in a coquettish way. In an instant, Zhang Xun put on Mu's face and acted shy. The glass of water in his hand immediately cracked. Oh my god! My eyes—no! My brain needs a wash!

The sudden attack made Zhang Xun turn to look at Maru's true form, intending to calm down, but Mu, who was next to him, moved his body to block his view.

Zhang Xun immediately felt the world turn black and white! He swayed his body, intending to pass Mu Huanhuan.

Maru watched Zhang Xun across from her with curiosity, glancing to the side and back again. Seeing Zhang Xun's expression change rapidly, she didn't understand why and asked him.

"Did you follow us here or what? Do you even know about the Purge Agreement? Why did you warn us to be careful of them before the battle even started? And Mu, don't block my way!"

Natal looked at Zhang Xun, who had turned completely gray, and then spoke according to the plan.

"After we separated, we reunited with the Archangel in the Arctic. The scene that happened in the Atlantic Federation was also happening in the Eurasian Federation. When we were about to reunite with you using the tracker installed on the Archangel, we discovered the battle in the Black Sea."

After recovering, Zhang Xun continued, "We were hiding well at the bottom of the sea. After learning about the battle above, we sent out a surface probe to watch the show. Who knew we would see the warships of the Purge Agreement?"

We understand the Atlantic Federation's combat strength; even with only 10 warships, and those that have been repeatedly damaged and short of supplies, their fighting power is beyond our capabilities.

Natal continued, "So I'm going to persuade you to cooperate and escape first, since the current state of the earth is no longer suitable for the two of you to attack each other."

Talia frowned and said, "I don't think now is the right time to cooperate with you. Now that the Earth Force has been attacked by the Purge Agreement, isn't this the best time for us to attack the Earth Force?"

Yuri smiled dismissively and said, "Do you know why we didn't retaliate against the pacification agreements that were rampaging in various countries? Because they didn't harm the Earth Army's foundation. On the contrary, your PLANT were besieged at your doorstep and your fortresses were destroyed. That's why I thought this was the best opportunity to eliminate you."

“Yes, yes, yes! You all thought the timing was perfect, and then the Purge Agreement beat both of you to a pulp!” Zhang Xun said, looking up at the ceiling.

Talia and Yuraine both frowned and looked at Zhang Xun. Talia was because she had not received any information from PLANT at all. The ZAFT military on Earth had no idea about the situation in space, and the fake Lux had come to visit the military a while ago, but there was no information at all.

Yurin frowned because Blue Cosmos and LOGOS within the Earth Force believed that information was still being blocked and planned to eliminate the remaining forces on Earth while the Purge Agreement blocked ZAFT's space support. However, they were taught a lesson by a lowly lieutenant from the former Earth Force.

Yurain said with a touch of arrogance, "It's just ten warships. Even if they're big, they're not invincible."

"Could you take off your mask? I feel a little awkward talking like this!" Zhang Xun turned his face to the ceiling, not intending to look at the other person.

"What, you want to marry me? You think you can marry me just because you saw my face?!"

"I've never seen such a shameless person before!" Zhang Xun cursed the other person in his mind, extending his insults to everyone in the family, from their mother to their eighteenth generation. The main reason was that the other person was wearing a pink Mu Shu mask and acting like a timid woman, which made it too easy for people to make certain assumptions.

“Natal showed them the intelligence we had gathered.”

Natal, who was next to her, took out a tablet and connected it to the large screen in the conference room to display information.

"We learned from the Purge Agreement communications that they have 100 cruisers that we encountered today to support Earth. At that time, there will be about 150 cruisers and one battleship that is more than one kilometer long on Earth."

"To be precise, there are still 138 cruisers. The Earth Forces are not to be trifled with!" Yurain said, taking a sip of her tea.

"Yes, yes, yes! You've lost more than half of the Earth's territory and sunk more than 10 cruisers!"

"It wasn't a fall, it was an attack. They weren't in control, and based on the remains of the enemy soldiers we retrieved, they weren't human, they were robots."

"Impossible! How could there be robots in this world! I've seen their soldiers, they're all flesh and blood!" Talia looked at Yulein in disbelief.

Yuri didn't argue anything and had the remains of a soldier from the Purge Agreement carried up.

The robot, whose surface resembled human skin, had many burn marks or explosion marks, and half of its head was smashed flat.

Zhang Xun poked at it with his pen and asked, "What did you guys use to fight that looks like it's been in a car accident?"

"It was a car. This person who entered the hangar to attack the ship under the purgatory agreement. We tried using guns, grenades and fire. Finally, someone used a car to repeatedly ram and flatten its head before it stopped."

It seems that cutting corners is not enough. Even with the reduced titanium alloy content, it is still too sturdy. I need to tell the Mars team to continue cutting corners.

"How many of these enemies are there?" Maru asked with some concern.

"The Atlantic Federation alone already has tens of thousands of troops, and we don't know how many more will be brought in this reinforcement."

The three parties remained silent, suggesting that cooperation was imminent.
