Chapter 48
However, confidence does not come without reason. The situation in the past is also different from the current situation. For Butterfield, the gap between him and the enemy has never made him, a Desert Tiger, feel so helpless before. Pass.
In the previous battle, the Archangel had given them a lot of trouble with just the two G-series, Strike and Thunder. More importantly, according to the intelligence from ZAFT's homeland, Two G-series units did not appear in the battle.
There is no definite evidence yet for Bartfield, the smaller ancestral pilot of the two G-series, but he created the Burning Flame. After thinking about Lake catching bullets with his bare hands and getting close to deal with those blue chrysanthemums, Bartfield Field felt that the answer to who the pilot of the red machine that had recently been nicknamed the Red Devil was about to come out.
And a person who can only rely on his physical body to behave completely unlike a human being, no matter how much he thinks, he will not be too weak when he gets on the machine. After a little combination of the previously rumored achievements of the red machine.
The troublesome opponents he has to deal with in this battle are more troublesome than the last, and there are quite a lot of them. Correspondingly, for some unknown reason, the combat power sent by the superiors is not as high as he expected. What quantity? Plenty of Baku and so on, but what he wanted was none at all.
Instead, the two G-series, Storm and Duel, were transferred from the Cruze team, plus three Baku and two Jinn.
Sending such a small number of mass-produced machines is simply useless. According to Tiger's own experience, the higher-ups must be engaged in some large-scale operations elsewhere. Otherwise, how could he have only replenished this manpower because of the sudden incident.
As for the remarks that the G series is enough to fill those mass-produced machines, in Bartfield's eyes, it is basically useless. In the desert environment, two drivers who are unfamiliar with the environment can only add chaos.
At the same time, not to mention the four G-s on the opposite side, one of them has already severely damaged two G-series machines, Storm and Duel, according to the intelligence.
If this does not include more manpower, the reason can only be that the higher-ups are mobilizing troops to prepare for a large-scale battle. Of course, there may also be another reason, that is, the higher-ups do not want to defend this place at all.
Just wait for the Desert Tiger to let the Archangel leave because it can't stop it.
…………
In the town, not long after being sent back by Butterfield's people, Lake and others met up with Bucky Lulu, Cagalli's bodyguard Chisaka and others who were out to purchase supplies, and prepared to leave the town.
Bucky Lulu was shocked when she saw Lake's appearance. In the car, after listening to the two men telling their general experiences, Bucky Lulu began to ask about the whereabouts of the machine driven by Lake and Liuli.
At the moment, she was most worried that the G-series would be lost due to something unexpected, and then picked up by ZAFT.
"Our two bodies are placed in……"
"What, just put it in that place, aren't you worried about being discovered?"
Baki Lulu immediately made a serious face.
"Don't worry, I just drove there today, and it was covered with camouflage cloth."
"Camouflage cloth, where did you get that stuff?"
Baki Lulu had a question mark on her face about the camouflage cloth specially used for MSs. Although she didn't know the G-series as well as the deputy captain of Malu, her common sense was not out of the question.
How can a cloth that can cover MSs be used? Found or made in a place full of yellow sand?
"I said I picked it up on the road, Lieutenant Bucky Lulu, would you believe it?"
"…………Lieutenant Colonel, please don't go too far with your jokes. If there is a problem with the G-series, I will need to report it to the captain truthfully."
Baki Lulu said helplessly.
If it had been before, she would have been angry, but she didn't know why. Until now, Lake was making such a joke, and she was just helpless.
Maybe she was used to it.
"Well, well, it was because I met the scrap dealer."
Lake rolled his eyes and handed the pot to the scrap dealer.
"Scrap dealer?"
"Yes, I met a scrap dealer named Luo Shier and got these two pieces of camouflage cloth from him."
Anyway, it is completely impossible to meet Luo at this time. Lake, who doesn't have to worry about his lie being exposed, simply calls the scrap dealer Luo.
"They are scrap dealers, but they need to be paid, right? Lieutenant Colonel Lake, how do you do this?……"
"It was white. It seemed that he liked me and regarded me as a friend, so he gave it to me."
Because he saw it as a friend, so he gave it away?
What Lake said was getting more and more ridiculous. Bucky Lulu was suspicious, but Lake then added that the photo was used as an investigation.
"Major Lake, let the information about the aircraft be spread out now, it won't have any impact."
The total time from the universe to the desert is not long, but after staying until now, Bucky Lulu will naturally not stick too much to the so-called rules and xxx when this kind of organism has been completely exposed. , so it’s just a simple question
"No, that scrap dealer seems to be a MS fanatic, so he didn’t expect this."
……… in the universe
"Ah...ah……"
Luo Yiyi couldn't hold it back and sneezed several times in a row.
"Luo, are you okay?"
"it's okay no problem."
Luo smiled and replied to his companion's concern, and then immediately returned to his work.
…………
At the same time, the Earth Merchant, Lake, Bucky, Lulu, and Liuli sat in a jeep and returned to the place where the Flame Gundam was parked before leaving. Behind them, Kira and Cagalli left each other less than half a minute later. arrive here
"Lieutenant Colonel Lake, do you want to contact the Archangel to send someone with a tow truck to recover it?"
"No, the distance from the Archangel is still within the range that the body can return. We can just drive it ourselves."
Lake waved his hand and rejected Bucky Lulu's plan. After a while, he created Ranyan and SD Yuanzu and stood up.
"However, starting MS here may be discovered by ZAFT.……"
"So leave as quickly as possible. When the Archangel sends people over, they may be discovered."
Lake retorted directly.
At this juncture, two MSs suddenly appeared and were detected. Unless Bartfield didn't want to fight, he would never waste any more combat power. At best, he would send some investigators over to take a look...
On the other side, Cagalli's bodyguard Chisaka's eyes changed slightly after seeing the two Gundams.
Although he was not a technician from the Orb Dawn Society who worked with the United, as a close confidant of Uzmi, he also knew about several Gundams. , these two MSs are similar to the other five MSs from the little information I saw at that time. Why do I always feel something is different after seeing them?
