Immortal from the villains of Gundam Seed

Chapter 312 Come to Fight, Speak with a Sword

"Natural man, the second son of the Gabriel family, the admiral of the Eighth Task Force of the Allied Forces, and the blue cosmos officer Rod Gabriel."

He patted the little head of Lux, who was struggling slightly because she saw Kira's appearance.

Rhodes drew out the lightsaber in a leisurely manner, and then blocked Kira, who rushed up angrily and drew his sword to slash.

"Why did you take Lux away! Why did you deceive us! Why did you let Orb be attacked by ZAFT! That is the country of your fiancée Kagalli!"

Burned with anger by what he saw before him, the words that Kruse had said kept echoing in his ears.

Kira just wanted an explanation now, just a clarification.

He used to believe in Rhodes so much, starting from Orb's colonial satellite, when the man in front of him began to speak up for his students.

He has always believed in it!

"Can't you take this lady away? The world after the war may cause turmoil again because of this girl. I just ruled out the unstable factors on the satellite in advance."

He easily resisted Kira, who seemed disorganized because of his anger, and was simply venting his strength.

Rhodes asked with a smile.

"As for the anti-neutron jamming device, you haven't asked me from the beginning to the end, have you? Why should I take the initiative to tell you this is a secret of the joint army?"

"In addition, Orb was attacked..."

Holding the lightsaber of Liberty Gundam, Rhodes stared at the machine driven by the icy Kira.

"The rescue force of the United Army is just off the coast of Orb. It is Uzmi who has been reluctant to ask us for help."

"It doesn't make sense that the coalition army will rush to help before receiving a request for help."

"What's more, Orb is not yet a member of the combined army."

"Behind every soldier of the United Army, there are relatives who are waiting for them to go back safely, not to mention that as commanders, isn't it our duty to think about the soldiers under our command?"

"Even if this is the case, even if this is the case, Orb has been attacked! Kagali is sad!"

Blocked by Rhodes' explanation, he couldn't find a reason to criticize. Kira, who was already stupid and not quick-witted, could only talk about Kagali who fled to the universe.

"Kira-kun, as a man who passively accepts information from the outside world, can't you use your own brain?"

Smiling and shaking his head, Rhodes said as if the other boy was unteachable.

"I am an officer of the United Army first, and Kagali's fiancé second. Do you want me to use public weapons to mobilize the army to save Aub because of my fiancée?"

"Then what are those soldiers? The background panels emblazoned on my medal of merit?"

"Me!" Forced speechless again by Rhodes' questioning, Kira immediately fell down quickly, and the frequency of attacks at the free height also became hesitant.

"Then what's going on with you and Kruse getting mixed up." Mu, who was holding artillery equipment, interrupted in time.

Taking advantage of Kira's distance from Bai Xueji because of Rhodes' words, she didn't care that Lacus was still on the pure white machine.

Ganonmu set up the light beam while questioning, and fired a cannonball.

The mental force induction skeleton opened, and the energy offset position was erected.

Facing the beam of light coming from the lower left side very elegantly, Bai Xueji turned her head slightly and calmly opened her left palm.

"What?" The uncle's voice, the boy's voice, and the girl's voice sounded three exclamations at the same time.

The 320mm ultra-high pulse beam is enough to penetrate the torrent of armor of all warships in active service.

Isolated by a hand outside the horizon as thick as a piece of paper, the energy of the light beam collided with the indestructible barrier, sparking brilliant sparks!
The interlaced lights of light and dark contrasted Bai Xueji's pure white appearance, inexplicably revealing a bit of terror.

"Mu, I have prepared a gift for you."

After dissipating the impact of the torrent, stroking away the last mottled sparks, and withdrawing his left hand, it was as insignificant as if he had strangled a bug, Rhodes turned his head and asked.

"Kruse is an important pillar of the ZAFT army. As a member of the coalition army, is it wrong to have the opportunity to instigate him?"

"If it wasn't for my actions, the Archangel would have been shot down as soon as it left the Orb colony!"

"Don't overestimate your own strength, rely on your combat strength at that time, facing an elite ace and four red clothes, what gave you the illusion that you can escape smoothly!"

"Mr. Mu La Flada!"

Shaking his head, he quickly recovered from the almost miraculous scene just now, flew to Kira's side, and Mu pointed the cannon beam cannon at Rhodes.

Even if he saw the previous facts and knew the weapon in his hand, it would be useless in the face of that unknown defensive barrier.

In the past, the beam cannon, which was thick and heavy and brought people an infinite sense of security, is now undoubtedly the same as a fire stick.

But what else to do, simply raise your hands and surrender?
"That's not why you sat and watched him sink Admiral Halbaton's warship? It's not the reason why you sat and watched them destroy the Eurasian satellite fortress!"

As his spirit became weaker and weaker, Mu's thoughts began to become chaotic, and he tried to prove Rhodes wrong by forcefully picking and choosing.

"Boring, Mu, I overestimated you. Now I finally know why your father thinks you are not good enough to inherit the Vlada consortium."

"Too rigidly attached to the so-called clear sense of morality restricts your talents."

"This is a war, the trump card that I finally got, how can I play it at the beginning, if I expose Kruse at that time, is it worth it?"

Asked Mu, whose eyelids were getting more and more raised, Rhodes turned to Kira and said.

"I know the history of the Battle of Orb, Kira, don't you wonder why, despite being rescued by Orb's soldiers everywhere, they treat them coldly?"

"Why?" Seeing Rhodes mentioning the things that made him sad in that battle, Kira asked entangled.

"Because you have no choice, no position, Kira."

Use your hand in an unnoticed place, and hold Lux ​​down to keep her from making small movements, Rhodes explained.

"I am Gabriel of the United Army, Rhodes of the Gabriel family, and the affairs officer of Blue Cosmos. This is my position and my choice."

"What about you? Orb's Kira? Or the Combined Army's Kira? Or the Coordinator's Kira?"

"During the Battle of Orb, you did your best to save countless Orb soldiers, but at the same time you also saved many ZAFT soldiers."

"How do you want Orb's people to think of you? You must know those ZAFT soldiers who were let go by you, and they took the lives of countless Orb fighters at the last moment!"

"Kira, having no position and no choice means that you will never be treated as one of your own by any force!"

"A guy who is not his own, why should he want to be respected by the people around him?"

"Is that so?" Thinking blankly of the Orb soldiers who treated him indifferently on the Orb battlefield, Kira couldn't imagine that in their eyes, he turned out to be such an image.

"I was wrong?" Kira's opinion has never belonged to Kira, and she has been passively accepting the influence of the people around her. Kira was shaken at this moment.

Including this time, including that time in the desert, including the reaction of those soldiers in the Battle of Orb, Kira hesitated!
"Kira! Do what you think is right! Just stick to your beliefs, convey your ideas, and let the world understand your heart! One day the world will respond to you!"

"In this world full of cold killing intent and blood and fire everywhere, a light of hope like yours is a precious treasure, Kira, don't let this weak light of fire go out!"

At the critical moment, Lacus yelled at Kira regardless of Rhode's secret threat.

"With great power comes great responsibility! Kira, go save the world!"

The light appeared, and Lux's voice seemed to be Kira's guiding light to illuminate the unknown road ahead.

Brightness gradually appeared in the confused and hesitant eyes again, Kira muttered.

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

His voice gradually became high, his will was fast and firm, he became enlightened, and he understood his pursuit.

"Brother Rhodes, you are wrong! The truth you think is wrong!"

"In order not to cause tragedies to happen in this world, in order to allow human beings to live in a world where smiles are always open!"

"Rod Gabriel, I want to stop you here!"

"Miss Lacus, you still haven't understood the current situation?"

Helplessly pointing the back of his head at his pink singer, Rhodes couldn't laugh or cry.
