With the destruction of the Archangel and the demolition of the Freedom Gundam, along with the death of the pilot Kira, this battle had finally concluded.
However, what left the deepest impression on everyone was the Tribunal's fiercely murderous actions.
Although the crew of the Minerva had previously seen the Tribunal's warships and had interacted with Duanmu Huai and others for some time, they had never fought alongside them and thus had never witnessed the Tribunal in battle. In their eyes, although Duanmu Huai and his companions were somewhat unapproachable, they were not beyond communication.
However, the attack on the Archangel completely shattered everyone's perceptions as the Tribunal revealed its ruthlessly violent side for the first time.
The war between the Earth Federation and PLANT was primarily about determining the victor, just as Captain Talia of the Archangel had communicated; as long as the opponent surrendered, they were willing to accept.
