The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Of course, the captain and officers also knew this.

But with Wu Ci's limited strength and Caius's overwhelming numbers, even if their forces were multiplied several times, they would still not be Caius's opponents.

This is also the reason why many of them insisted on breaking out in a dispersed manner.

The reason why Maya insisted on fighting together, or breaking through together, was not because she was arrogant and thought that Wu Ci could defeat Caius head-on.

But it is thornless. If you really want to create the future, you must be able to prove yourself and have the strength to compete with Caius. Only in this way can you inspire more people to resist Caius together.

It's not realistic to defeat Caius head-on, but what if we narrow the goal to just destroying their flagship?

Maya thought it was worth a try!

Everyone has the same information, but they make different decisions.

No one can predict the future. Perhaps their suggestion of a dispersed breakout is correct. At least under the cover of the fleet, the fast-moving Agama is likely to break through.

But if they concentrated their efforts on the battle and failed to break out quickly, Wu Ci might be buried here...

领袖

Most of them are lonely and painful.

Because... I have to make a decision that affects the fate of thousands of people.

And such a choice will definitely not be made only once on the road ahead.

…………

After leaving the medical room, Maya visited the captains and officers of each ship one after another, explaining the current situation and her intentions to them.

Although some people still expressed that with Wu Ci's current strength, he could not fight Caius head-on, but Maya convinced them after repeatedly explaining that the so-called head-on confrontation was just a feint and the real target was the enemy's flagship.

This made Maya feel even more depressed.

"This time, we can only succeed, not fail!"

In her rare free time, Maya finally returned to her room.

She hadn't slept for over forty hours, but she didn't feel sleepy at all, and she didn't dare to think about the consequences of failure...

"Tuk Tuk"

There was a knock on the door, and Renai's voice came from outside.

"Maya-san, are you back?"

"Come in, Niina,"

Maya stood up, opened the mechanical door, and let the girl in.

"Um, Maya-san, are you still awake?"

Seeing her cautious look, Maya found it a little funny. "Want to sleep together, Rencai?"

Renai's face flushed slightly, and she looked up at Maya, looking a little shy.

"Um, Maya-san, you're not a girl, are you?"

"Of course not!"

Maya was a little amused and said, "Don't listen to Taoxiang's nonsense. She has always been like this."

"Oh, I see."

While Rencai felt relieved, she also felt a little disappointed.

"Can I bother you for one night? I can't sleep alone."

"You go and..."

Maya originally wanted her to sleep with Subaru or Satoshi, but with Jinna's stubborn personality, she must have been struggling for a long time before coming to her...

"Well, I was just about to go to bed..."

Maya knew that she was someone who shouldn't have any ties with others.

But when such a girl mustered up the courage to knock on the door, how could Maya refuse...

Although Wu Ci had gained valuable rest time under the mediation of the moderates, everyone knew that Caius would not be able to stay with Wu Ci like this.

Tomorrow is probably the last deadline Caius has to give Wu Ci's 'respectability'...

Not long ago, the girl who was still studying in the school of District 11 was now dragged into the war. Her hands were stained with blood and she was about to step onto the battlefield where the strength gap was huge. It was natural that she would feel uneasy.

But can she really comfort the girl? She is not optimistic about this.

Maya suddenly thought of the animation Xiangzi had watched before.

EVA

Misato, who was supposed to guide Shinji, is actually a traumatized child.

In the end, all she gave Shinji was an adult's kiss, a white cross... and an unfulfilled promise.

Maya doesn't think she can do better than Misato.

In fact, she was able to get here because Renai appeared beside her.

As an adult, Maya herself felt quite ashamed...

"Maya-san, are you asleep?"

The shameful adult and the brave girl, lying on a bed that could hardly be called wide, with their backs to each other,

"not yet,"

Feeling her body temperature, Maya's heart calmed down briefly.

The girl turned over, from lying on her side, to looking up at the ceiling.

Although there was no simulated gravity in the room, her movements were still transmitted through the safety harness.

"I want to go on a sortie with Captain Maya tomorrow, is that okay?"

"If I say no, you will come too."

"How could that be?!" Rencai said unconvincedly, "When I didn't listen to you, it was because of Maya-san. You wanted to do something dangerous by yourself?!"

Maya was speechless. The girl was right. She was indeed a little too high and mighty.

"This time, we have to find a way to destroy Caius's flagship. Massing troops won't work, so we can only rely on a small number of elite troops to fight our way in. Rencai... is in great danger."

As the little prince said, the rose tamed him, and he also tamed the rose.

The same thing happened between the girl and Maya. She told the girl that it was dangerous and said nothing more, which meant that she agreed to let her go.

And the brave girl will only have one choice——

"I'm going!"

"That's it, Maya-san."

"you…"

"Won't you consider it?"

In response to this, Maya could only smile bitterly.

"What an idiot..."

Chapter 50: Secret Plan

"That's the situation,"

The next day, in the hangar of the Argama,

Maya, who had slept for less than three hours, stood in front of everyone with a bright and energetic look.

"Once we reach our attack position, the remaining ships and mobile suits will form a diamond formation to defend the Agama. The assault team, consisting of me and our elite pilots, will attack Caius's flagship, the Britannia."

The federal government finally signed a treaty with America in Britain, and Caius named his flagship Britain.

It is to declare that they are determined to defend the contract and the integrity of the federation.

Of course, the main purpose is to emphasize one's own legitimacy.

"This is a hunting operation with a clear goal. Apart from defense and opening up a path for attack, ignore all other goals!"

"In order to wipe us all out here, Caius has maintained a massive encirclement, and the fleet's formation is in disarray. As long as we're fast enough, we can achieve our goal before their entire main force can react!"

"Everyone, please entrust your lives to me!"

Maya stood straight and saluted the soldiers in the hangar and the soldiers on other warships on the other end of the communication.

The soldiers saluted her in return, and for a moment the entire fleet was solemn and dignified.

Everyone was looking at the pilot standing in front of the golden mobile suit.

"Operation Artemis begins now!"

Following the order from the captain of the flagship Agama, Jeanne, everyone took action.

The elite team led by Maya also began to assemble.

"Maya-san, forget about sinking the Britannia. We had a hard time fighting against Caius's three warships a few days ago."

Rencai did not become complacent and think that he was invincible just because he sank a Magellan-class ship.

In fact, if she was alone, she would probably have no choice but to watch helplessly and flee in disgrace when the enemy battleships were protected by multiple MS and were hiding in the air defense network.

"Britannic, while capable of operating large mobile suits and mobile suits, also boasts formidable anti-aircraft and anti-ship firepower. Unless we can lure away all of the escorting mobile suits, relying on only a few mobile suits to penetrate its anti-aircraft firepower will be no different from a target."

Xiaozhi obviously also had doubts about the surprise attack.

"This is only assuming the nearby warships don't react. If there's a fire net formed by multiple warships and mobile suits, not even a fly can get through. You must have other plans, Captain Maya."

Although it was a question, George's tone was very affirmative.

Maya said nothing, but nodded slightly.

"Captain George, are you used to Likdias now?"

This trip to the moon not only brought back the necessary parts for the Likdias that was severely damaged in the previous battle, but also some new machines to supplement it. Originally, due to poverty, they could not afford to buy a second Likdias.

With the support of Chuhua, I bought two more, plus Baishiki, Metas, and Rencai's Mark Rabbit.

Their team, in the words of high EQ, is: brand new technology, fresh from the factory, enjoy silky smoothness, and test the performance of the machine in actual combat.

Low emotional intelligence means that five people cannot put together a reliable machine that has been tested in a lot of actual combat.

"This is much better than that old antique."

When talking about Likdias, George's face was a little excited.

He had been planning to secretly assemble a Jim two days ago, but now he was suddenly driving a high-performance machine, so it was natural for him to feel excited.

"Nina, are you sure you want to attack with the Mark Rabbit?"

Maya looked at the scratched armor of Mark Rabbit No. 03, which hadn't even had time to repaint.

Mark Rabbit is good in every way except that its armor is too weak.

"Mark Rabbit is more agile than Rickdias. This time he also has time to equip a bazooka. Don't worry, this kid won't hold you back."

Considering that Rencai was already used to driving Mark Rabbit, Maya did not persuade her anymore.

The remaining Likdias and Mark Rabbit can be handed over to other excellent pilots to strengthen the defense of the Agama to a certain extent.

Although the enemy's flagship must be sunk, one's own flagship must also be protected, otherwise there will be no funds for the second Jupiter resource collection ship to be embezzled by Wu Ci to build a flagship.

"Well," Subaru hesitated, "Is it really okay for me to pilot the Metas? I was eliminated in the preliminaries."

If this were a "winner" manga, Subaru would probably be saying, "I'm going to beat Caius, is that true?"

Subaru originally thought that he would be assigned to a GM-2 at most and be responsible for the protection mission.

Unexpectedly, he joined the most important assault team at the beginning. It was like the Nine-headed Insect was going to rush to Erba to eliminate Tang Monk and his disciples.

"Subaru, you have a more important mission," Maya took her aboard the Metas, and after closing the hatch, she explained the mission in secret. Because of the hatch and the fact that they had turned off their headsets, the others couldn't hear her at all.

"Why are you still so mysterious?"

Xiaozhi paced back and forth anxiously.

"I think I know Maya-san's plan..."

Jinna frowned and pondered for a moment, then lowered her right hand that was supporting her lower jaw.
