He Kui, the commander who was lamenting, was currently stationed in the depths of the sea at the rear.
The familiar Dominion was hiding here, remotely commanding the fleet ahead.
"What do you mean our Grim has sunk? What's the reason!?"
Bargirrle was questioning the radar operator at the front with a grim expression.
"Unclear!"
"The final answer is... someone is invading their systems!"
"A spy?"
Muruta's face was equally grim, his teeth clenched tightly against his lip, looking quite fearsome with his pale face and bared teeth.
"Send our people to intercept! We can't let him escape!"
Bargirrle rarely disagreed with Muruta's words.
The spy in the middle of the fleet indeed needed to be dealt with as a priority.
"If we can't take Midway Island this time, then the sacrifices at the Alaska base will be meaningless!"
Muruta's face was terrifying, his teeth gritted as he slammed his hand hard against the armrest of his chair.
Seeing the commander so agitated, Bargirrle raised his eyebrows, looking quite displeased, but being unable to voice his thoughts due to Muruta's position.
Muruta was not a competent commander; his emotions were written all over his face, and his unpredictable mood made it difficult to manage his subordinates effectively.
However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, the battle had to continue.
At this moment, He Kui was also maneuvering the Forbidden in the depths, skillfully dodging the encirclement of numerous Dagger series mechas and submarines.
Fighting underwater was far more perilous than in the skies.
If the TP Armor was slightly damaged or ran out of power, they would be killed by the pressure.
For He Kui, this was of no concern, but for Yulis, it was a matter of life and death.
At this moment, he moved like a real fish, skillfully controlling the Mobile Suit beneath the water.
"You say a flagship on the opposite side exploded!?"
Andrew, hearing the report from his aide, asked with a serious expression.
"Yes."
"And according to the report from the frontline Zock team, it seems they have pulled some forces back to the rear."
"Doesn't this situation feel a bit familiar to you?"
Andrew suddenly asked.
".Pa Lass?"
His aide replied uncertainly.
"I don't know, but this style of inserting into the battlefield..."
"If that's the case, what should we do?"
The aide asked.
"There's nothing we can do."
Since Freedom and Justice had been sent to raid Alaska, their defensive strength at this base was not sufficient.
However, as planned, they had managed to hold back most of the assembled forces, making Alaska's defenses vulnerable, which was the perfect time for a raid.
If they took Alaska, they would officially penetrate the territory of the Atlantic Federation.
The implications behind this were obvious, especially with their Neutron Jammer being at risk of being breached at any moment.
Although this battle was not as grand as the one on the moon, it was still a gamble.
Meanwhile, He Kui continued to evade attacks coming from all directions.
With the TP Armor, it could indeed defend against most attacks.
However, the TP Armor had to be constantly active to counter the surrounding pressure.
This meant being in a defensive state all the time, which consumed a tremendous amount of power.
Especially the deeper they went, the greater the consumption.
Overall, penetrating deep into enemy territory was not his first time.
Experience was still there, and his strength was greater.
Facing the siege of ordinary soldiers, unless the numbers were overwhelming and the space too small, He Kui could still evade.
Not to mention that they were currently in the heart of their own fleet.
As long as he moved close to their ships, they would hesitate to attack.
Of course, this situation wouldn't last long, as the ships above would also move.
As soon as he got close, that ship would soon retreat.
He Kui certainly couldn't afford to waste time retreating.
So the shields available to him were dwindling.
He Kui remained calm, steering towards the area where the battle had just occurred.
The goal was clear: to slip away amidst the chaos of the two armies, with the premise that Zock would not attack them.
His passage beneath the water did not last long before He Kui, with his tail behind him, directly charged into the combat zone.
At that moment underwater, Zock and numerous Forbidden units were locked in a fierce battle.
The Mobile Suits from both sides intertwined beneath the surface, torpedoes and harpoons cutting through the water in a continuous exchange of attacks.
Explosions erupted on the sea surface, and the once calm waters were now littered with the shattered metal of Mobile Suits, reflecting the sun's rays in dazzling flashes.
"What's our next move?"
Seeing that the ZAFT defenders did not pursue them, Shihe let out a sigh of relief and quickly asked.
Data that could not be transmitted over long distances meant that if they wanted to convey this information, someone had to go down.
As Shihe spoke, He Kui used the Trident to sweep away the remaining Forbidden pursuers behind him.
At the same time, he fired the Sonic Cannon in quick succession, taking out the last two pursuers.
Now both sides were temporarily too preoccupied to pay attention to him, making him momentarily safe.
"Let's dive. We've already slipped out of their line of sight. I can mimic the Zock team's identification code, which should allow us to bypass the submarine's radar.
With the Neutron Jammer and the low visibility of the deep sea, this plan can be executed.
"When we land on Midway Island, I will open the hatch, and the little bird will drop the intel along with the transmitter and recording into the command area of the base."
"If Andrew is in command, he won't let this intel slip."
He Kui said decisively.
"But what about Yulis?"
Shihe frowned and asked.
They were remote, but the girl was not.
"This Mobile Suit has enough power to reach Kaohsiung if it's in shallow waters."
"I can find mercenaries to rescue Yulis before the Mobile Suit runs out of power."
".Alright!"
After the two discussed, they acted swiftly.
He Kui used the Zock's identification code to successfully pass through the radar detection.
Although the submarine's officer found it strange why Zock was retreating, He Kui, being familiar with ZAFT, quickly concocted a story about the Mobile Suit's battery being over-discharged and other reasons to deceive them.
Before long, He Kui arrived on the sandy beach of Midway Island.
It was just a small piece of land, with only the towering base standing ahead.
He Kui then took control of the little bird, directly launching it with the small storage device.
"Brother, what is that little bird?"
Yulis also saw the mechanical bird that had just entered the cockpit and swallowed the storage device in He Kui's hand, her intuition telling her that this was likely the secret behind He Kui's repeated miracles along the way.
"It's my pet."
Aegis smiled gently.
Hearing her brother sound a bit softer, Yulis tilted her head adorably.
Though confused, she refrained from asking out of politeness.
Naturally, at this moment, Aegis was being controlled by Shihe, while He Kui was guiding the little bird to the area outside the command center.
Due to the small target of the little bird, it did not trigger the base's built-in air defense systems.
Soon, He Kui dropped the device along with a small transmitter and a piece of gossip into a corner of the base.
Once the transmitter started working, they would eventually be discovered.
Next, it was up to Andrew to deliver.
