Or holding back tears, or holding back anger.

"Deputy Speaker Sara, please forgive me for being willful! No matter what, I want to say something here."

After sitting back in the wheelchair again, Lux raised her head and looked at Patrick standing on the podium.

The latter, without the slightest surprise, just nodded slowly.

"You are indeed here. Then, go! Lux."

When Patrick walked down from the podium and passed Aslan, he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"From now on, Lux Klein will be handed over to you, Aslan Sara."

"Yes! Father."

Aslan heard something behind Patrick's words, but he didn't understand it for a moment.

And right now, there is no time for him to figure it out.

"Aslan, can I trouble you again?"

When Lux's voice came, Aslan immediately stepped forward knowingly, took off the microphone, and gave it to Lux's hand.

Lux smiled back and then faced the audience.

"Dear compatriots, one year ago today, PLANT lost Junius 7, and we lost 243,721 compatriots. Among these 243,721 compatriots, there are our relatives and our friends. Since then,

From that moment on, the scar called Bloody Valentine was deeply engraved in our hearts."

"Today, one year later, PLANT has lost Speaker Sigurd Clay, who fought for peace and to protect all PLANT compatriots from oppression, suffering, and the threat of a second Bloody Valentine's Day.

because."

"And I also lost my father who loved me and protected me today."

"Why did it become like this?"

"Because we established PLANT and ZAFT, the United Earth Alliance, which has occupied the earth and the resources that humans rely on for survival, cannot oppress us again. Time and time again, they ask us to meet the requirements of the Earth Alliance for unfounded reasons.

Unreasonable request!”

"No matter how difficult or painful we encountered, the Earth Alliance never looked at us from the beginning to the end!"

"All that is left to us is the insignificant "charity" labeled as care and gift!"

"For this reason, we who live in colonial satellites have repeatedly made requests for the right to freedom and independence, but have been ruthlessly rejected and trampled upon by the United Earth."

"In fact, despite our repeated requests, the Earth Alliance not only failed to restrain itself, but instead intensified its pressure on us and PLANT. They even sent warships to the doorstep of our PLANT home."

"For this reason, we PLANT rose up! We established ZAFT to fight to protect PLANT and protect the citizens! We also fought for independence and freedom!"

"us···"

Lux, who was speaking, suddenly turned red and suddenly started coughing.

"Lux!"

Aslan, who was standing next to her, quickly leaned over to check, but was shocked to find that the palm of Lux's hand in front of her mouth was full of blood.

"Lux! You can't say any more! We must go back immediately!"

However, before Aslan could pick up Lux, the other party grabbed Aslan's sleeve.

"Aslan, let me go on."

The bright red color at the corner of Lux's mouth made her face look extremely sad and beautiful.

And this moment was also captured by the camera and clearly presented in front of everyone present.

"No···"

Unexpectedly, a voice calling for Lux suddenly came from the field.

"Lux!"

"Lux!"

"Lux!"

Gradually, voices calling for Lux sounded from all corners of the field, converging into huge waves of sound.

Aslan looked back and saw that the audience was full of faces with red eyes, either angry, full of tears, or pitiful.

These faces were all affected by Lux at this moment.

"Aslan."

Lux's soft call came from behind.

Aslan was dejected, and finally took half a step back, standing next to Lux, leaning over and gently wiping the blood from the corner of Lux's mouth with his sleeve.

Then, Lux picked up the microphone again.

"My father, Siegel Klein, beloved by the citizens, is dead!"

"Why?"

"Because the United Earth is afraid! They are afraid that we, who have gained the upper hand on the battlefield, will win again in words under the leadership of Sigur Klein!"

"In this way, the ugly face that the Earth Alliance has hidden all this time will be exposed! The oppression they have always exerted on our PLANT will have nowhere to hide!!"

"We must never forget the oppression that those rats from the Earth Alliance exerted on PLANT and us, and the sins they committed!"

"This sadness and anger must never be forgotten!"

"The death of my father, Siegel Klein, tells us this very clearly!"

"Forgetting this anger, forgetting this sadness, forgetting the oppression we have suffered, we will only usher in the endless oppression of the United Earth, again and again!"

"So, now, we should gather this anger, condense this sorrow, and defeat the Earth United! Defeat those self-righteous rats!"

"In this way, we can achieve true freedom and gain true independence!"

"In this way, we can give the 243,721 compatriots who died on Junius 7 peace of mind!!"

“God bless PLANT!!”

As soon as Lux finished speaking, shouts of "God bless PLANT" came from the audience, on the street, or in the room.

Amid the rising waves, the ZAFT fleet was ready to attack.

Whether it is the universe or the earth, ZAFT armies located on various fronts are launching a joint attack on the earth at this moment.

CE71.

February 14, 17:.

All fronts of the Earth United are in emergency!

Within half an hour, most of the Victoria Airport fell, and the Earth Alliance garrison was crumbling.
