An advanced guide for experienced modelers, from building blocks to hand-building Gundams

Then, the mechanical arm on the left manipulated the shield to block the strafing fire from a helicopter, and Ross piloted Zesta towards Laco.

"...I thought I was overthinking it." Rhodes glanced at the closed communicator, but did not turn on the speaker. Instead, he gripped the joystick tightly in his hand.

"Andrew Baltfield...you're also a 'new type' like me..."

Zesta raised the bazooka in his hand and fired a forged rocket at Laco.

In the cockpit, the prototype NTD system automatically turned on after detecting Andrew.

PS: In fact, Jegan’s high-mobility backpack is the propulsion backpack on the back of Strike Jegan.

This is the first chapter on the shelves. I don’t know how it will perform, so I’m a little nervous.

Volume 36: Chapter : Shield Fighting, learned from Cyclonus Carls. (Thumbs up)

"Sure enough, just as the report said, it's a forged rocket."

Andrew tightened his grip, ready to fire. "Aisha, dodge this barrage of bullets. Lako's armor won't withstand it."

"Got it. Get ready, Andy!" Aisha pulled the joystick hard, and the thrusters on Lako's body sprayed out thick flames, escaping the coverage of the forging plate at an extremely extreme distance.

"Now!" Andrew saw the right moment and pressed the trigger on the joystick.

The twin high-energy beam cannons on Laco's back quickly completed charging and fired two beams at Zesta.

Zesta did not dodge the beam, but continued to approach Lako.

The upper left mechanical arm of the high-mobility backpack extended forward, completing the angle adjustment. The shield accurately blocked the beam that was about to hit the Jesta body, and after completing the resistance, it retracted the shield.

"Using the robotic arm to control the shield?" Andrew saw his attack blocked and didn't waste time. He switched to a precise sniper style, repeatedly pressing the trigger and firing, looking for the next opportunity. "What a tough opponent."

"Andy, the cub is very close to us, and we are about to engage in close combat!" Aisha looked at Zesta who was getting closer and closer and squeezed the joystick tightly.

The beam saber on Laco's head extended to both sides, and the tracks on his calves ran rapidly.

As Aisha stepped on the accelerator, the nozzles on the fuselage operated at full power, and Laco flew towards Zesta.

"Good opportunity!" Ross saw Laco's pounce. Zesta swung his left hand, and the hilt of the beam saber on his forearm flipped out and was held in Zesta's hand. The shield on the left side of the high-mobility backpack adjusted its angle in advance and completed the lock.

Just as Lako's beam saber was about to hit Zesta's shield, the thrusters on Lako's body started up and the body suddenly spun in mid-air.

Ross now understood what Laco was thinking: he wanted to avoid the shield by spinning, and then use the beam saber to cut off Zesta's arm.

"Don't even think about it!" Ross stepped on the pedal, and Zesta's attitude nozzle started up, and he distanced himself from Lako at an extremely fast speed, forming a ninety-degree angle with Lako.

The spinning beam saber brushed against the surface of Zesta's shield. Zesta swung the beam saber and accurately cut off Rako's left hind leg.

"Uh..." After seeing the machine's detection showing that the left hind leg was offline, Aisha gritted her teeth and continued to keep the machine rotating.

Andrew seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger when the high-energy beam cannon was pointed at Zesta. The beam shot out from the muzzle, aiming at Zesta's cockpit.

The mechanical arm on the upper right side of the High Mobility Pack released its lock, quickly moved the shield in front of Zesta, and locked onto it again. Zesta's shield once again firmly blocked Lako's barrage.

"Keep a distance and look for another opportunity!" After seeing that this attack missed, Andrew gave up the idea of continuing to fire.

Before falling to the ground, Laco completed the adjustment of the body's posture and landed steadily on the ground.

With Aisha's operation, Laco, who only had three legs left, still maintained his original speed and flexibility with the help of the body's nozzle.

Laco made a large circle, and a large amount of sand, driven by the specially tilted tracks, formed a layer of visual interference in front of Zesta.

But Rhodes was not disturbed. On the full-circle cockpit, an inverted triangle frame had already marked Lako's position.

The forged rocket broke through the interference of the sand curtain and exploded in front of Lako.

No matter how superb Aisha's driving skills are, after dodging most of the forging pieces, she can only use the structure of Lako to withstand the remaining forging pieces.

The twin high-energy beam cannon and the left wing were all offline, and the twin high-energy beam cannon, which had been washed by the forging sheet, was even smoking.

Just as Ross was about to fire another shot at Laco, he felt a stinging sensation like being pricked by needles in his head, and Ross subconsciously stepped on the pedal.

Zesta's attitude thrusters swiftly operated, dodging the two beams of light coming from behind.

"Beams?!" Ross was stunned for a moment when he saw the two beams without any data adjustment.

"Cub! You bastard!" Then a voice full of energy and a bit of madness sounded in the desert.

At some point, the Duel Gundam and Storm Gundam took off from the Lesseps, their thrusters running frantically as they flew towards Zesta.

"Duel, and Storm? Have they caught up here?!" Rhodes pressed a few buttons on the joystick.

The shield on the robotic arm quickly adjusted its direction and fired two forged rockets at each of the two machines in front of it.

"Die!" Izak shouted, raising the Duel Gundam's shield with his left hand, but putting away the beam rifle with his right hand and reaching for the beam saber behind him.

Diego also hid the bombardment tube of the Storm Gundam behind him and used the Storm's PS armor to withstand the two forged rockets.

I have to say, it seems that Diego has made a lot of progress compared to before. At least he did not make the same wailing sound as his beast ancestors under the violent impact this time.

Although Izak looks crazy, his battle strategy is still very clear. At least he doesn't plan to fight Zesta in the desert with a Duel Gundam whose parameters have not been adjusted.

As for the beam rifle, to be honest, the trajectory just now was originally aimed at Zesta's right side, intending to force Zesta to a close distance to Lako for a pincer attack, but in the end it was offset by an unknown amount, so it was simply not used.

After much thought, the beam saber is still reliable.

As Yzak thought this, the Duel Gundam approached Zesta.

Ross frowned as he watched the Duel Gundam's beam saber slashing towards the mechanical arm.

The mechanical arm quickly lowered, releasing the shield. Zesta reached out and caught the shield, completing the docking. The free mechanical arm then placed the falling beam saber hilt back into the storage area on Zesta's left forearm.

Zesta stretched out his left hand, and the tip of his shield precisely stabbed the Duel Gundam's shield, causing the Duel Gundam's propulsion direction to be slightly deformed.

Then, with a swing of his left hand, Zesta's shield hit the left side of the Duel Gundam, causing it to fall directly into the desert.

"Izak!" Diego in the Storm Gundam was extremely anxious. He drove the machine directly and used the cannon tube to hit Zesta's side.

"At this distance, it won't deviate!" Obviously, Diego didn't have time to adjust the body data, and could only use this high-risk close-range artillery fire to make up for the data error.

Just as Diego pulled the trigger, Zesta released his right hand from the electromagnetic rocket barrel and reached out to take the shield that the mechanical arm had released. Another shield strike struck the Burst Gundam's cannon barrel.

The muzzle of the gun, which had just received the order to fire, was deflected, and the scattered stream formed by the light beam hit the desert, blasting several holes and leaving a lot of melted sand.

The lower right robotic arm of the High Mobility Pack caught the Bazooka that Zesta had released, while the lower left robotic arm also took out the beam carbine mounted on the High Mobility Pack.

Zesta turned around, and with the propulsion nozzles activated, he distanced himself from Storm and Duel, who were trying to right themselves.

Then, Zesta raised his hands like a boxer, and the shields on his hands blocked the diversionary fire from the Duel Gundam's head Vulcan Cannon.

"Phew... Don't be stingy with the power, Diego. Our machine hasn't been adjusted yet, and our feet will sink." Izak had just adjusted the stance of the Duel Gundam and looked warily at Zesta, who was holding a shield in each hand.

"I understand, but the cubs on the opposite side are too difficult to deal with." Diego was speechless at this time. The Storm Gundam was not a machine that excelled in combat, and its mobility was average. Now it had to use thrusters frequently, and all kinds of awkward feelings arose spontaneously.

"Huh...Huh..." In Zesta's cockpit, Ross, who had just completed a series of close combat, gasped and gripped the joystick tightly with both hands.

Even though this prototype NTD system was activated, the battle just now still put a lot of pressure on Ross.

"Be careful, Ross. Zesta is not the Raging Karls. His skeleton is almost reaching the fatigue threshold." At this time, Big Harrow was also reminding Ross.

"Huh... I get it. Come on, round two." Rhodes pressed the trigger and stepped on the pedal.

The mechanical arm on Zesta's waist began to operate, and the beam carbine and electromagnetic bazooka fired continuously.

In the intervals between the continuous firing of forging rockets and beams, the high-mobility backpack behind Zesta activated, spewing out thick flames, and the body rushed towards the Duel Gundam and Storm Gundam.

"Be careful, he's coming!" Izak controlled the Duel Gundam and raised the shield in his left hand to block the beam and forging rockets from the mechanical arm. He held the beam saber in his right hand, intending to pierce Zesta.

Zesta stretched out his left arm and slapped the forearm of the Duel Gundam where it thrust out its beam saber. Then he turned around and slammed the shield in his right hand into the Duel Gundam's body in a solid position.

Without waiting for the Duel Gundam to fall to the ground, Zesta adjusted his posture and activated the nozzle. He raised his right leg, turned around and kicked sideways, hitting the waist of the Storm Gundam and kicking it out.

At this time, due to the angle, the two weapons on Zesta's waist could only fire continuously at other ZAFT machines.

Just as Zesta lowered his right leg and was adjusting his stance, Laco, who had been waiting for a long time, made his move.

Laco flew towards Zesta's back again, and the remaining thrust nozzles of the machine were working frantically, trying to split Zesta in two at the waist.

Reminded by the crazy stabbing pain in Ross's brain, Zesta quickly turned around and smashed the shield in his left hand into Lako's head, directly destroying Lako's beam saber.

Then, he poked Lako's waist with the shield in his right hand and fired a forged rocket.

For some reason, Ross subconsciously tilted the forged rocket slightly towards the tail of the Lakko.

With the explosion, Laco was blown into two pieces and fell to the ground.

"...Heh...Is it over?" Looking at the machine that had lost its ability to move and was even constantly sounding alarms, Andrew smiled.

"Andy." Aisha stood up from the front seat, turned around and extended her hand to Andrew.

"Elsa." Andrew stood up from his seat and responded with a warm hug.

Immediately afterwards, another explosion occurred.

……

"Hoo...Hoo..." Ross glanced at the warning that Big Haro had displayed on the screen again, and controlled Zesta to throw the Forging Blade rockets in the shield towards the Duel Gundam and Storm Gundam struggling in the sand. This time, the Forging Blade lived up to everyone's expectations and destroyed the opponent's weapons.

The shield was once again handed over to the two mechanical arms on the upper side, and Zesta reached out to take the beam carbine and electromagnetic bazooka, whose magazines were empty.

The robotic arm detached from the weapon and started working again, replacing the last magazine for the electromagnetic rocket launcher.

"Malu... The Desert Tiger has been dealt with." Ross glanced at the wreckage of Laco and turned on the communication.

"...Well done, Ross. The Lesseps is abandoning the ship now. We succeeded." Malu was talking about the current battle situation on the communicator.

After being freed from restraint, Kira displayed a very impressive shooting skill. Each shot of his air assault could destroy the limbs of the opponent's machine without damaging other parts.

Ross raised Zesta's right hand and fired two forging rockets at the helicopter in the sky. The helicopter hit by the forging rockets exploded into balls of fire.

"...Please return to the vicinity of the battleship, we are about to break through their defense line." Malu's voice sounded again in the communication.

"Understood, returning to the battleship." Ross controlled the Zesta to avoid the support strafing of a Zaut, and had to distance himself from the Duel Gundam and Storm Gundam lying on the ground.

I don’t know why these two people stopped moving. Maybe they were knocked unconscious by the impact?

After firing a forged rocket at each of the two Gundams that were still activating their PS armor, and another at the Zaut that had just opened fire, Ross piloted the machine out of the area.

After such a high-intensity battle, not only were the weapons and ammunition supplies stretched to the limit, but Zesta's battery power was also a bit dangerous. Ross didn't want to be left in such a place.

……

Once the Archangel left the area, everything returned to peace.

A group of people wearing ZAFT military uniforms were driving a jeep across the battlefield.

Dagos quickly ran to the wreckage of the Lako and looked into the gap in the cockpit.

His pupils shrank slightly at first, but after a closer look, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Come on! Hurry up!" he shouted, waving to the soldiers below. "There are still people alive here!"

----split line----

PS: Regarding Jegan's close combat moves in this chapter, you can refer to Cyclonus Karls in Unicorn Gundam OVA, yes, the one who was punching on the catapult deck.

I gave Zesta these two shields just for this moment!

To be honest, I always think that the shields of Jegan and Zesta are very suitable for close combat, especially the shield strike. The four missile launch pods on it will definitely give the opponent endless surprises!

Ah... my brain is shaking, I'm so high right now!

Volume 37: Chapter : Unofficial history may not be very historical, but it is definitely very wild.

At night, in a temporary guerrilla stronghold.

"I thought you could win by luring them away, but I didn't expect you to actually kill the tiger."

"For the dawn of the desert!" Shahib, with a tired face, stood in the central tent of the base, looking at the people in front of him and raised the beer in his hand.

"It's my turn...for a victorious future." Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Mari reluctantly offered his congratulations.

At this moment, the people gathered around the table all looked in one direction.

In their sight, Rhodes was looking down at the beer in the iron cup in his hand with a complicated expression.

"What are you thinking about, Ross? It's your turn." Seeing Ross's reaction was a little strange, Mu hurried to Ross's side and patted Ross's shoulder.

Ross came back to his senses after being reminded by Mu, and looked at the scene in front of him with a bit of confusion.

"It's your turn, Ross. Say a few words of blessing." Mu had obviously noticed Ross was in a daze, so he pointed at Shahib and Malu, who had already raised their glasses. "It's your turn."

"Hmm..." Ross thought for a long time and raised the glass in his hand.
