Chapter 148 Explore the Right Path Aslan stared with confused eyes and looked back at the land in the short period of time when I was trying to stop Wang Hu. In just a short period of time, Captain Bartfield had reorganized the battle line. Although the first land battleship that was severely damaged by Kira was beyond rescue, the other besieged battleship was helped by Captain Bartfield. At this time, he was successfully receiving his own soldiers who had abandoned the ship and escaped, and the Zero King of the United Nations Army and the guerrillas were dispersed by him. And his good friend Kira was busy rescuing the members of the resistance organization who were bombarded by the intact land battleship. Nigel is catching the Strike Gundam and attacking it "Is this the strength of Captain Bartfield, the Desert Tiger?" Blinking his eyes, Aslan compared himself with his former captain Cruze in his mind. Sure enough, both of them are men who can change the situation of the battle by themselves! "Yes, I can do it." For no reason, a spark of hope rose in Aslan's heart. Because of the abilities demonstrated by Mr. Tiger, Aslan looked forward again with great anticipation.
"This" The flame of hope that rose up in an instant was extinguished, and Aslan suddenly remembered his previous captain who had the ability to change the situation of the battle. His current fate "Damn it." Aslan cursed angrily and wanted to rush over to help. It turned out that in a very short period of time, Bartfield first hit Mu, and then cooperated with Nigel to hit Kira. Now, Captain Bartfield, who had replaced him and was facing the king tiger with a majestic aura like the tiger king in the desert, was like a fake tiger meeting a real tiger. This captain who was very good at beating others was beaten by Wang Hu in turn! No matter how hard Bartfield tried or how hard he attacked. Wang Hu always teases Lagu in a leisurely and relaxed manner without showing any nervousness, and then launches a fierce counterattack. Aslan saw Bartfield being kicked by Wang Hu several times! "Captain Bartfield, I'm here to help you!" Shaking his head to get rid of the bad feeling in his heart, Aslan shouted loudly and pretended to rush over to provide support. "Wait, boy." After being hit by Wang Hu's punch again, he controlled Lagu to bounce up from the desert ground. Hearing Aslan's shout, Barfield gave a wry smile and stopped the boy's good intentions behind him. "Go back and retreat with Martin and Nigel!" "What?" Aslan continued to rush forward, seeming to suspect that he had heard it wrong. Didn't he ask you to come and cooperate in the battle, but instead asked you and others to escape? "Boom." Suddenly, Lagu was kicked by the Z Gundam again and flew sideways towards Aslan. Seeing this, Aslan was about to open his arms to catch the flying Bartfield. However, Lagu in mid-air raised his claws and kicked directly at the Aegis Gundam.
"boom" The MS's feet left two long tracks in the sand, and Athrun staggered back and forth in the cockpit. When he looked up again, Aslan suddenly found that he had left the battlefield and was not far from the intact land battleship. "Captain Bartfield?" The clever Aslan immediately thought of the reason why this happened. The most likely possibility was that Captain Bartfield deliberately took the hit from Wang Hu. Then he took advantage of the opportunity to get himself out of the battle! "Captain!" Aslan, who had figured it out, wanted to rush back. "Retreat, immediately, this is an order!" Bartfield stood in front of Wang Hu with a bitter and firm voice, with a hint of irritability. Echoing in the ears of all ZAFT soldiers on the battlefield. "The failure of this battle is inevitable. Wang Hu's strength and the strength of the East Asian Army are not something we can contend with now." “Keep a useful body, go find, explore true peace, and the path you really want to pursue!” "The true path will definitely appear after thinking about it!" "team leader?" Aslan no longer insisted. Seeing that Lagu seemed unable to hold on for much longer, he suppressed the grief in his heart. Indeed, Captain Bartfeld's Lagu was badly wounded, and the Baku Legion in front had been destroyed by the Archangel. The rebel group that was once dispersed by Mr. Tiger has regrouped. If we don't seize the opportunity to retreat now, "Alas." With a long sigh, the hand holding the joystick made a creaking sound. Aslan realized the dangers of hesitating to make a decision. "Aslan! Go away." Just at this time, his good friend Nigel also withdrew. While preparing to cover the retreat of the land warships, he was also calling out to Aslan to leave quickly. "I understand." Looking back at Captain Bartfield who was being hit by Wang Hu's iron fist again, Aslan remembered the scene of today firmly. "Don't even think about escaping!" Mu felt that flying a MS in the desert was not as good as flying a Sky King. Having lost face countless times, Mu wanted to seize the last chance. At least some enemy troops had to be left behind, so he intended to chase them. Kira, who was following behind Mu, had the same idea. He felt that he did not perform well in today's battle. Although he was carrying artillery equipment, he was inferior to the Thunderbolt Gundam in close combat. But if I want to change the world and have the right to stand by Brother Wang Hu's side, how can I use such an excuse to prevaricate? "Okay." Wang Hu suddenly stopped attacking and looked at another battlefield moving away. He said to Baltfield in the Lagoon in front of him, "Mr. Tiger, I'll ask you one last time, do you want to come over to my side?" "Oh." The enemy did not move, and Baltfield in the Lagoon was happy to take this opportunity to slow down his rapid breathing.
"You seem to enjoy persuading us to side with you." "I remember you tried to persuade Aslan before. Did you try to persuade Cruze?" "Yes." Wang Hu answered quickly, smiling happily. "But he refused. I don't know if he is dead now." "Hahaha, then you should know my answer." Looking at Aisha who turned her head to look at him, the person he loved most in the world. Bartfield gave an apologetic smile and then answered Wang Hu's question. "Now I am a soldier of ZAFT and a Desert Tiger who protects PLANT." "Really?" After getting the expected answer, Wang Hu did not seem too disappointed. In the cockpit of the Z Gundam, Wang Hu chuckled. "You guys, no matter how many times I ask you, there will always be people like you who have lofty ideals." "You will probably reject me again and again, so let's change the question if there is another chance." “It does not involve PLANT, nor does it involve a confrontation between natural persons and coordinators. Instead, it is for real peace and real justice.” "Captain Bartfield, the Desert Tiger, are you willing to come with me?" "this one" After exchanging a glance with Aisha to confirm their respective true intentions, Bartfield gave a positive answer before he was ready to give it a try. "I am happy to walk with you on the path of justice, the Kirin King Tiger of East Asia!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lagu moved. Like a real tiger, it roared towards the sky and shook the earth. Aisha controlled the beam cannon on her back and led with a beam full of determination, followed closely by Bartfield's tiger pounce. "Looking forward to your company, Captain Bartfield." Wang Hu dodged Lagu's beam attack and lowered his body in his Z Gundam to slide forward. Facing the approaching Lagu, the Z Gundam slid to the lower abdomen of the Baltfield's fuselage. "Wang Hu!" Laughing loudly, Mr. Tiger controlled Lagu to lower his head, trying to use the beam blade shaped like tiger teeth on the mouth of the machine to poke Wang Hu under him. Raising the shield, he blocked Bartfield's beam of light and also hit Lagu's lower abdomen. With force, the Z Gundam suddenly pushed upward, pushing the huge body of the Lagu into the sky. Facing Lagu who has lost his ability to move, he rushes to gain power before the other party uses the booster. Wang Hu used his gun to destroy the opponent's gliders on both sides, followed by his limbs and head.
"Boom boom boom boom." The beam of light fell on Lagu's body and the explosion exploded on Lagu's body. "Captain Bartfield?" Far away, on a land warship, it was fighting and retreating with the pursuing Allied Forces. As if Martin sensed something, he looked absentmindedly towards the direction in the sky where explosions were coming from. "Captain Bartfield?" Aslan gritted his teeth and fought with Nigel beside him. He was stunned during the battle with Kira. The sound coming from afar seemed to foreshadow something. "Kira, another one, another one!" Aslan shouted words that were difficult for others to understand, and two lines of tears appeared in the corners of his eyes. "This is war. This is the world that Big Brother Wang Hu wants to change!" He immediately yelled back. Kira could understand the thoughts of his childhood friend. "So in order to prevent tragedy from happening again in this world, our generation, our generation, the war, the world must change!" "For this, even if it's you, Aslan, I will never hesitate!" Raising the beam cannon in his hand and swinging it like a stick, Kira struck it head-on with a powerful blow! "This damn war." Only this sentence was agreed to. Athrun swung his arms and with the help of the sharpness of the beam sword, he cut through the beam cannon that Kira was slashing at him. Without delay, Aslan took advantage of the moment when Kira dodged, responding to the shells fired from the land battleship behind him. Holding the hand extended by Nigel behind him, Aslan returned to the deck of the rapidly retreating warship. "Nigel." "Aslan!" This pair of friendly comrades who chased the Archangel all the way from the universe to the ground, both of them simultaneously poured firepower backwards to stop the enemy. "It's over." Wang Hu looked at Lagu who exploded into a fireball in the air and said, "I hope you can all survive this time." Silently praying in his heart that the couple would survive, the Z Gundam turned and flew towards the Archangel. What follows is separation and a new journey. (End of this chapter)
