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

Murtagh thought of this, and sat back in his seat with a gloomy face, tapping the armrest of the chair lightly with his right hand.

"So, Senator Murtagh, the goal of the operation is..."

"Seize the Mass Accelerator and the Shuguang Society factory. I don't need to teach you."

"……Yes."

……

Orb, in a conference room in the Mass Accelerator Terminal.

"Is everything ready?" Uzmi looked at the people present with a calm expression, as if he had anticipated his own ending.

"We're ready. The Earth Union can't take anything from us." A middle-aged man spoke from the side.

"Well, thank you all for assisting Cagalli." Uzumi nodded and looked at the instrument in front of him. "I can't leave. Only when I die will the Earth Alliance change its target."

"Chief Uzmi..."

Upon hearing the news, everyone present gritted their teeth.

"Please do not forget why we have gathered in Orb."

As Uzumi spoke, he calmly turned on the instrument and looked at the red button inside.

"You guys go ahead and leave me here."

"With my old bones, I can still stand up straight and yell at them."

PS: Today’s update.

I inexplicably feel that this Blue Cosmos Murta is very good at sliding.

In addition, the title comes from Spider-Man. Anyway, it is an old saying of Doctor Octopus. When I watched No Hero Returns, I was moved when I saw his appearance.

Of course, after watching it, I still feel speechless.

Volume 66: Chapter Why do your Earth Army’s mass-produced aircraft use the Optimus Prime color scheme?

The transfer via the mass accelerator had begun since the evacuation notice was broadcast, or more precisely, before the Archangel arrived at Orb.

Before the Earth Army approached the Orb Sea, the Dawn Society had completed most of the transfer.

Because the M1 Heresy developed by the Aurora Society and the Jegan D-type, of which several test machines had just been manufactured, also had to participate in the battle, the MS department was the last to be transferred.

Orb is now urgently evacuating ordinary people. Cargo ships are continuously launched, and the scene is in chaos. Orb can only send a small number of troops to maintain order.

However, the Earth Army, which was approaching in large numbers, had no intention of shooting down these cargo ships. In Murtagh's view, this was just Orb's last struggle. As long as he could obtain the intact Dawning Society production line and the mass accelerator "Hyuga", Murtagh did not care how many people ran away.

"It's almost nine o'clock..." Looking at the Orb fleet that had been on high alert, Murtagh seemed quite satisfied with Orb's performance.

"Then, begin the attack."

On the warships of the Earth Army Fleet, densely packed vertical missile launch units were opened, and missiles quickly took off, drawing graceful arcs and hitting the land of Orb.

Suddenly, dense barrages of bullets appeared above Orb, and a large number of missiles were destroyed and exploded in the air.

……

In the dim cockpit, Ross put on his pilot's suit and calmly checked the parameters of the aircraft, slightly adjusting the options.

Switching from a conventional high-energy battery pack to a nuclear battery pack, the parameters of the Narrative Gundam had to be adjusted to unleash its full performance. Originally, this should have been done carefully using a computer, but Ross expected a battle to come soon, so he adjusted the parameters directly in the cockpit.

At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded in his ears. Ross adjusted the last few parameters to a rough value and started the Narrative Gundam.

The dim cockpit reveals the outside world, and the familiar UI interface appears before your eyes.

"The Orb army has begun fighting, the Archangel is setting sail!"

Hearing Mari's voice over the comms, Ross habitually glanced at the suit's armament status. At Ross's insistence, in addition to the Narrative Gundam's original armament, the Narrative Gundam's left hand also held the electromagnetic bazooka Ross had previously given Kira to use, along with a spare bazooka magazine.

Kira's Freedom and Mu's Assault were both transported to the catapult deck by the hangar, ready to take the lead in the attack.

"It's time to fight, Ross." Big Hello swayed leisurely in his seat.

"Yeah... that's right, get ready for battle." Ross swiped a few times on the tablet at hand, and the map of Orb was displayed.

"Many civilians haven't yet completed evacuation via the mass accelerator, and the Earth Army has a large number of units... We can only retreat to this point at best." Ross casually drew a line on the map. "Of course, there's another option: we can eliminate them directly at sea."

"The electromagnetic rocket launcher doesn't have many anti-ship missiles. With your current armament, you can only carry one extra magazine."

“…That’s enough.”

Ross closed the map and reached out to remove the lens of his helmet. At this time, the Freedom and Strike had completed their ejection, and the ejection mechanism was resetting.

The hangar transported the Narrative Gundam to the catapult and secured it.

"Narrator, you can attack."

Rhodes reached out and pushed the accelerator, then gripped the control handle and took a deep breath.

"Roz Links, Narrator Gundam B-Equipment High Mobility Type, attacks!"

As the electromagnetic catapult device was activated, the familiar feeling of being pushed back by the catapult appeared again, but it could no longer bring the same sense of oppression as before.

After the machine detached from the Archangel's ejection deck and saw the chaotic battlefield before him, Ross subconsciously stepped on the pedal.

As the high-mobility backpack's performance improved after being equipped with a nuclear battery, the flames from the propulsion nozzle became more and more intense, and the Narrative Gundam rushed into the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.

Compared to the high-energy batteries used before, the Narrative Gundam now operating at full power can fight for a longer time, and the wire-controlled floating gun can also be used frequently.

The combat communications were filled with urgent combat information: where missiles had destroyed something, where Earth Army mobile suits had landed...

Rhodes pressed the joystick a few times, and the wire-controlled floating gun on the backpack changed its angle, like a shoulder gun.

Looking at the Earth Army's missiles flying all over the sky, Ross pressed the trigger.

With the power of the nuclear battery, the scattering mode floating gun began to spray beam shotguns continuously into the sky. The dense barrage covered the sky, washing the approaching missiles and Earth Army MA into sieves and exploding in the sky.

Suddenly, a familiar electric shock came to his brain, and Ross quickly stepped on the pedal, and the narration Gundam increased its altitude. Suddenly, three particle beams appeared in the place where the narration Gundam was originally located.

Ross's expression was a little strange as he watched three red and blue machines approaching him using a similar "high jump" action.

"...Optimus Prime?"

Fortunately, Ross habitually turned off the communication when it was not necessary, otherwise after the battle, Malu and Mu would probably ask him what Optimus Prime was.

Then, Ross expertly predicted the paths of the red and blue machines and fired three shots from the beam rifle in the Narrative Gundam's right hand.

The particle beam that was spirally accelerated through the muzzle continued to rotate like a drill, easily tearing apart the cockpits of several mass-produced machines of the Earth Army, blowing them into pieces in the air.

At this time, the Earth Army's mass-produced aircraft gliding in the air and "jumping" into Orb's homeland can be seen everywhere.

However, the Earth Army's fleet has been carrying out missile bombardments, and the Orb Army has found it difficult to launch an effective counterattack under the suppression of missile firepower.

"Is it coming again?" Watching Ross push the throttle of his mobile suit to its highest point, his beam rifle mounted on the missile launcher at his waist, Big Haro seemed to understand what Ross was trying to do. "This is the first time we've done this on Earth."

"Everything has a first time." Ross, manipulating the Narrative Gundam, switched the electromagnetic bazooka to his right hand and slammed the pedal. "But right now, I'm just trying to break the deadlock despite being at a disadvantage. I'm already very skilled at this!"

The high-mobility backpack ejected thick flames, the auxiliary stabilizer wings unfolded, and the tip of the wing drew a trace in the air.

"Kira, Mu, you guys continue to hold back the Earth Army's attack." Ross connected the communication while feeling the strong gravity mixed with the push on his back, something he couldn't experience in space. "I'll be back soon!"

"An enemy plane has broken away from the enemy's lines and is approaching us at high speed!"

On the battleship Murtagh was on, the radar observer spoke of his discovery in horror.

"Open up the anti-aircraft fire! Let the Dagger in this machine's flight path intercept him!" Although it was the first time to fight with the mass-produced MS called Dagger, the captain's fighting instinct still made him give these orders.

The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles that were originally dormant were activated and fired at the high-speed flying Narrative Gundam.

Rhodes frowned at the dense anti-aircraft fire and quickly approached the sea surface, approaching a battleship, placing his body in the blind spot of the anti-aircraft fire of most battleships.

Then, Ross skillfully fired an anti-ship rocket at the battleship beside him. The violent explosion instantly broke the battleship in two, and even the dagger that had not yet been launched was partially destroyed and fell into the sea.

This type of anti-ship missile is specially used against space battleships. The outer armor of a space battleship has to be particularly hard because it needs to withstand the tiny meteorites that hit it head-on during high-speed navigation. Although the Earth Army's naval battleships are very hard, they are not as hard as space battleships.

Thanks to the sinking of a battleship, a partial vacuum appeared in the Earth Army's dense missile coverage, allowing Orb to organize the M1 Heretic Force to counterattack the landing Daggers.

"The Ireland sank, the Collins and Roxton were hit and exploded..." Looking at the warships destroyed by a single anti-ship missile strike, the radar observer gulped. "Sir, it looks like he used a space-based anti-ship missile."

"Tsk...where are those three guys? Are they ready?!" Murtagh's face was gloomy as he watched the Narrative Gundam wreaking havoc in the Earth Fleet and the battleships being constantly silenced.

"There are still five minutes before the attack, and the pilot is using potions!" The CIC on the side also spoke up and described the current situation.

At this time, Ross had already used up two magazines of anti-ship rockets. He threw away the bazooka in his hand and picked up the beam rifle mounted on his waist.

However, although the anti-ship missiles are gone, the anti-aircraft missiles fired by the Earth Army can be used.

Rhodes found the right opportunity and suddenly pulled up in front of a battleship. The violent flames even left some burn marks on the deck of the battleship.

The captain of the battleship was originally wondering why the unknown G in front of him suddenly increased.

But the rocket following the narrating Gundam told the captain the answer. A large number of anti-aircraft missiles hit the battleship, causing continuous explosions. The battleship began to take on water and slowly sank.

It was obviously a good thing, but Ross frowned.

In the combat communications, there has been news that the M1 Heretic was destroyed. It obviously has excellent performance, but why did it perform so poorly in front of these daggers?

"Roz! Come back! There are too many of them!" In the ruins of a bombed city, Mu controlled the Strike Gundam, wielding the ship-slashing sword in his hand, splitting several daggers in two. "I'm just a novice, I can't hold off so many mobile suits!"

After hearing Mu's request for support, Rhodes finally figured out the key.

I see. I should have thought of that earlier. The M1 Heretic had only just been developed, and these pilots likely only knew the basics before heading into battle. This was a battle of completely unequal piloting skills. Simply weakening or even destroying the enemy's firepower wouldn't stop the Gladius's advance.

Ross frowned as he fired the beam rifle at the warships around him. The drill-like particle beams accurately hit the missile launch ports of several nearby warships, completely destroying the missiles and launchers inside. The resulting explosions tore holes in the warships, causing them to continuously take in water.

Then, Ross controlled the Narrative Gundam, dodging the anti-aircraft fire from the remaining battleships, and turned to fly towards the Orb front.

"Report... The enemy has left, and our fleet has been severely damaged..." It seems that because this ship exists as a special transport ship, there is no missile launch port on board, so it was not noticed by Ross.

"Bang..." Murtagh hammered the armrest of the chair, gritting his teeth as he watched the battle unfold. "Are those three guys ready?!"

"The report is ready."

"Then attack and let them tear that unfinished product into pieces!" Murtagh took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down a little, and reached out to straighten his wrinkled tie.

When Orb was surrounded and the troops on it were being beaten back step by step, that machine still dared to drive a semi-finished machine with its skeleton exposed everywhere to attack the Earth fleet?

This isn't just a simple ZAFT supporter! We need to strike back hard!

The hatches at both ends of Murtagh's battleship opened, and three distinctive aircraft flew over at low altitude, raising a large amount of water splashes.

PS: Today’s update.

To be honest, sometimes I really imagine Dagger as Optimus Prime. The color scheme and face really give me a sense of déjà vu.

Volume 67: Chapter The appearance of the three strongest members of the Earth Army.

"Damn it... They come one after another, endlessly..." Under the continuous attack of missiles, Mayura kept pressing the trigger and gritting her teeth in the slightly sparse Orb army defense line.

As the group with the best driving skills in the Orb Army, Mayura's team is also the pilot who is most familiar with the performance of the M1 Heretic. However, the M1 Heretic has only been in service for a short time, and many pilots only know the basic operations and are hurriedly sent to the battlefield.

Compared with the Earth Army's well-organized and extensively trained MS troops, Orb's resistance seemed a little powerless.

not to mention……

Several daggers with "S·B" logos on their shoulders landed on the ground of Orb and quickly rolled to avoid the shooting of Ashaji, who was also a test pilot.

"What on earth are those machines marked 'S·B'?!" Mayura pressed the trigger firmly, and the M1 Heretic's beam rifle swept towards the nimble daggers.

As the Orb Army's defenses were forced to retreat under the fierce attack of the Earth Army, several drill-like particle beams shot from the sky to the ground, piercing through the nimble daggers and directly blasting them into debris all over the ground.

Twelve missiles exploded in the air, and the forgings inside accelerated, forming a deadly rain of blades, which easily pierced through the Earth Army's armor that had been reduced for mass production. A large number of dagger battery packs were severely damaged and exploded instantly.

The gray-white narrative Gundam was turning in the air, landing quickly and smoothly, and its feet left two traces on the ground.

Ross's left hand swiped across the touchscreen beside him, and the wire-controlled floating cannon on the Gundam backpack changed its firing mode. Like two machine guns, it swept all the daggers in front of Ross at an extremely fast speed.

"Zizizi... M1 Heretic Force, retreat temporarily and regroup!" Ross's voice was distorted over the comms, likely due to electromagnetic interference. "I'll hold this position for now."

"Ming...understand!"

Ross narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the Orb army, which was gathering its troops and rearranging its defenses.

Then, he subconsciously raised the beam rifle in his hand and fired a shot at a dagger that had just emerged from the ruins of the building and was about to fight back.
