Suggested soundtrack for this chapter: the Sanculotte version of the Ça Ira. You'll see why.
Take 11: Blue Ribbon
That was a glorious day for Roid. The diversive on Randor was going well, Vordor was falling, and now his main Aerial Knights were projecting the hologram that allowed him to broadcast the war declaration. He took a breath to continue his speech-and then he felt pain and fainted.
On Randor everyone was caught by surprise by Roid being knocked out as soon as he declared war (or denounced the armistice, as one could point out), just as the identity of the attacker: someone wearing the clothes of a random palace servant, a blue ribbon as armband and a ski mask and wielding an AK-2020 assault rifle.
"We, Windermere's Revolutionary Armed Forces, acknowledge the tyrants' breaking of the armistice, and have just captured him, his heir Heintz and this excuse for a chanchellor." the revolutionary announced. "To the New United Nations: we're waiting and bring our world back into you, come soon! Free Windermere!"
With that the transmission was cut, just in time for someone in the assembled NUN and Chaos forces to open fire and start a collective barrage that took out the Aerial Knights.
"I thought all the pro-NUN people had left the planet!" Freyja exclaimed. Then she noticed Mikumo was singing-and her translator mentioned hanging people from lampposts, and was too distracted by her morbid humor to care.
Author note: Here they are, the Windermereans who sided with the New United Nations and for whatever reason didn't leave. I suppose one could have used Do You Hear the People Sing? from the Les Miserables musical… Except this is Macross and that musical is from 2012. Now the question is: do they have lampposts on Windermere or Berger will have to provide those too?
