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

"But the rest of the Earth fleet will be joining us soon," Big Haro estimated the time and marked a countdown in the cockpit. "After this scheduled time, the Eighth Fleet won't be able to continue their performance."

Rhodes didn't continue to respond to Big Hello's words. He just pushed the accelerator, which he had just slightly pulled down, to the top again and stepped on the pedal.

The high-mobility backpack behind the narrator once again operated at full power, passing through the daggers and MA detonated by the beam Gatling gun, and flew towards the predetermined target point at an extremely fast speed.

……

"We've arrived at the designated location." Malu sat in the captain's seat, watching the countdown on the screen, and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the armrests. "Wait for the countdown to end, then head for the second target point."

At this time, the Archangel was not in Orb's Industrial 7 dock, but instead came to a space outside the lunar base.

"Although coming here to pick up Ross was originally my own idea..." Malu took a deep breath, calming herself down. "But regardless of the moral and legal reasons, we cannot let Ross be shot down or captured by the Earth Alliance."

"Please, everyone, please lend me your strength."

"There's no need to hesitate about this kind of thing..." Arnold, as the helmsman, should be the one under the most pressure at the moment, but he smiled and wiped the sweat from his palms. "Captain, are you just letting your imagination run wild after dating Ross?"

Arnold made a little joke, and everyone looked at Mariu with a teasing look, which made Mariu subconsciously straighten his sitting posture.

"...The Archangel is your battleship, don't forget, Captain." Arnold put his hand on the throttle lever, ready to operate at any time.

"Fighting until now, everyone on the Archangel has followed the Captain wholeheartedly." The radar observer glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Mariu, then looked back at the chaotic radar signals. "...Archangel, we are all your strength, Captain!"

"...Thank you." Malu relaxed a little, but his eyes were once again cast on the countdown that was running out.

"What's the radar situation?"

"The lunar base is in chaos. A large number of mobile suits and mobile suits are surrounding the narrator. The other main fleets of the Earth Federation are also rushing towards the narrator's Gundam."

"Do you need me to pick up Ross?" Mu's voice rang out over the Archangel's comms. "Even though the Assault's battery life is average, it's really frustrating to have to watch him show off all by himself."

At this time, Mu had already put on his driving suit and was sitting in the cockpit of the assault plane, ready to attack at any time.

"Mu, the assault's batteries and propulsion packs can't support such high-speed combat. Please remain on standby."

"Well... okay, okay, I'll be waiting for the next instruction at any time."

Mu responded to Malu's orders casually, but his thoughts went back to yesterday.

After hearing about Ross's dangerous actions and her decision from Mariu, even though he was on vacation yesterday and was planning to go to the bar to have fun, he subconsciously returned to the Archangel and sat in the cockpit just now.

I can't recall the details of my thoughts at that time, but...

"I'm really afraid that guy will die..." Mu turned off the microphone and listened carefully to the information coming from the radar observer. "It's hard to accept the thought that no one will fight back against me..."

"The countdown is over!" The radar observer looked at the identification signal on the radar. "The narrator has been found and is heading towards the predetermined target point!"

Malu glanced at the densely packed Earth Army signals marked on the screen and took another deep breath.

"Archangel, forward three!"

"Understood!" Arnold shouted, pushing the throttle lever. The Archangel's thrusters lit up one after another and moved straight towards the target point.

……

"We've already broken through the target point... Hello, help me set the course!"

Ross controlled the Narrative Gundam and fired a low-power beam rifle shot at the thruster of a Nelson-class ship of the Eighth Fleet, then quickly escaped the encirclement of the Earth Army.

"Don't let him get away! Keep chasing him!" At this time, the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet's voice was trembling in the Earth Army's communication channel, and he was obviously blinded by anger.

Up to now, the airspace of the Earth military base, which was originally calm and peaceful, was filled with a large number of Dagger and MA wreckage, and even a few bombed Drake-class and Nelson-class ships.

Who could possibly stand for a mobile suit to breach the defenses, destroy an important collaborative project, and then saunter off without a care in the world? This was clearly a slap in the face of both the Earth Army and the Blue Cosmos.

"Wait, a new warship heat signal has been detected...it's the Archangel class!"

"Where are the Archangel-class ships on the lunar base right now? They're mostly at the Kaohsiung Mass Accelerator and Grips." The First Fleet's commander pondered for a moment. Then, as if realizing something, his eyes widened.

"It's the escape ship, the Archangel!"

"General...this..." The soldiers on the bridge were stunned when they heard the words of the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet.

"They have left the Earth Army and are here to support the 'White Devil'!" The commander-in-chief of the First Fleet hammered the armrest of his chair.

"They are enemies too! Keep attacking!"

Mariu on the Archangel naturally noticed that the Earth Army was in a bit of chaos at this time.

At this moment, she also wanted to add fuel to the chaos.

"Deploy the missiles as planned!"

When the Earth Army fell into a brief period of chaos, almost no one except Ross noticed what the Archangel, which had been sailing at high speed, released.

"Archangel! How could this happen?!" Ross seemed a little surprised as he watched the Archangel approaching rapidly, but he still skillfully slowed down a bit and stopped steadily on the central deck of the Archangel.

The storm bombardment tube was disassembled again and combined into an armor-piercing shotgun. The Narrative Gundam held the weapon with his right hand, while his left hand took out his beam rifle.

"Let's make this fireworks display even bigger!" Ross turned around on the central deck, controlling the Narrative Gundam, and pulled the trigger towards the Earth Army troops in front of him.

Unlike Kira's multi-target attacks, which relied on a free multi-locking system, Ross, at this time, except for the two triple-barreled beam Gatling guns on his backpack operated by Big Haro, all the other weapons of the Narrative Gundam that attacked multiple targets of the Earth Army at the same time were manually locked by Ross.

"Archangel, forward four!" Mariu quickly issued an order after seeing the Narrative Gundam arrive on the central deck.

"Understood, hold on tight!" Arnold skillfully maneuvered the Archangel into a drift, leaving a shooting angle for the Narrative Gundam and the weapons on the Archangel, and then pushed the throttle lever forward a little further.

The Archangel's thrusters were operating at full power. As an assault ship, the Archangel demonstrated tremendous power and quickly moved away from the lunar battlefield.

At this time, Halbert, sitting on the battleship, couldn't help but smile when he saw that the Archangel had received the Narrative Gundam.

"Everyone, prepare to abandon ship." Following Halberton's order, the soldiers and officers of the Eighth Fleet began to evacuate to the escape pods in an orderly manner.

At this time, the First Fleet, which was eager to capture the Narrative Gundam, seemed to be positioned too far forward.

The anti-ship missiles and high-explosive missiles specially thrown out by Malu were activated one after another after the countdown of the fuse reached, and flew towards the large number of heat sources of the First Fleet.

"Missiles are coming!" Seeing the scene in front of him, the radar observer of the First Fleet was stunned.

Without waiting for the First Fleet to react, these missiles found their targets and exploded into "gorgeous" fireworks.

"The eighth and ninth areas are damaged and on fire. The isolation gates have been lowered!"

"The Nelson-class main guns and thrusters were destroyed and unable to fight..."

"The unmanned combat version of the dagger and the MA suffered severe damage!"

"The Eighth Fleet's flagship was severely damaged... Escape has been completed!"

Bad news rang in the ears of the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet, and he couldn't help but feel his blood pressure rising.

"The Archangel is still accelerating..." Looking at the rapidly receding signal on the radar, the First Fleet's radar observer sighed. "We can't catch up, Admiral."

……

After circling the asteroid belt several times, the Archangel finally confirmed that it was not being followed and slowed down its speed.

"Huh... The operation is over. Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Mariu breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the Narrative Gundam on the central deck. "Next, let's go back to Industrial 7."

"The catapult deck is open... Narrator is aboard." Mirialia also relaxed at this time and said.

"Very good... Close the catapult deck and the Archangel will set sail." Mari nodded and issued the next command.

Although Mariu really wanted to meet Ross, now was obviously not a good time, after all, so many Earth soldiers were chasing the Narrative Gundam just now.

Although the crew of the Archangel have declared that "they are the power of Captain Mariu", she cannot let Mariu ignore the safety of the crew and indulge in love with Ross.

Besides, even if she did that, Ross would probably scold Mariu and send her back to the bridge.

PS: Today’s update.

Today, we encountered a five-armor golden bullet immortal at the ordinary dam in the Delta. Even with the best equipment of the Scary Claw and Knife Machine, we still couldn't defeat him.

Volume 86: Chapter Halbertton: Just telepathy, I can play with it in the palm of my hand!

In a dim conference room at the Earth Army's lunar base, the chief commanders of the Earth Army's various space fleets gathered together, staring at the screen, which was the only light source in the room, with all their faces looking unhappy.

On the screen at this moment, Ross, with dyed brown hair, was wearing the Earth Army officer uniform, work clothes, and photos of his guard uniform in the "Requiem" project, as well as the battle record of the battle just now, in which he controlled the Narrative Gundam to attack and decapitate, and then left in a dashing manner on the Archangel.

“…He’s a dangerous man.”

After a long silence, the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet stared at Rhodes's photo, as if he wanted to kill Rhodes immediately.

This series of stealth, reconnaissance, and assault operations was like a slap in the face to everyone except Halberton.

"He disrupted Cosmos' plans on the moon, and now the residents of the lunar colony are in a panic."

Having said that, recalling the questions raised to him by the managers of the lunar colony, the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet couldn't help but feel a headache.

"If it weren't for Prime Minister Orphee of the Findersen Kingdom finding this thief and identifying him, we in the lunar colony, who are so lax, would still be kept in the dark."

After hearing the words of the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet, everyone looked at Orphee, who was sitting nearby in luxurious clothes.

Halberton couldn't help but glance at the report in his hand, wondering why Aoife had discovered Ross.

At this time, Aoife's face looked not very good, and he was constantly flipping through the scenes of the Black Knight being killed.

Compared to the last time in Orb, when an "evolved form" was required to destroy the Black Knight's FT armor, this time the Black Knight appeared in front of him for less than three seconds before the mechanism of the FT armor was cracked. Those elite pilots who were at the top of the Findersen Kingdom and even had partial sensing abilities through experiments were vulnerable in front of him.

Although he had already obtained some data and discovered some problems, the loss of a total of three Black Knights at the hands of the Narrative Gundam made him feel complicated.

On the one hand, he was angry at the incompetence of the pilots of the Findersen Kingdom, and on the other hand, he was surprised at the speed at which the Gundam became stronger.

"...After all, we're all working hard for Earth and all the natural people." Temporarily suppressing her thoughts, Orphee looked at the commanders present and gave a polite smile. "As a member of Earth, I should also contribute a little."

"Besides, his brain waves are so strong, that's why I was able to find him."

Orphee, who used the same enhancement as the Black Knight, had not yet made deep enough use of telepathy and could only barely feel the mixed appreciation and curiosity of these commanders.

However, there was a sense of "scrutiny" mixed in, but it quickly disappeared, leaving him somewhat confused.

At this time, Halberton, who tried hard to make his face gloomy, took a look at Orphee's appearance and the contents of the report, and wrote him down.

"Anyway, let's get back to the point. We don't know the real name of the man driving the 'White Devil', and it's even possible that his appearance is a disguise." The commander-in-chief of the First Fleet coughed twice and continued the topic.

"The only thing we know is the identity he used when operating in the lunar colony: 'Amuro Ray'."

"Speaking of this, shouldn't you explain it first?!"

At this moment, the commander-in-chief of the Third Fleet, who had suffered heavy losses after being attacked first by the Narrative Gundam, was furious. He slammed the table and pointed at the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet. "That guy's identity is marked as 'First Fleet'!"

"Regarding this matter, we found the officer's uniform worn by this Amuro in the lunar colony." Although the First Fleet's commander-in-chief was being challenged by the Third Fleet's commander-in-chief, he remained calm and spoke of his findings. "It was something missing from the munitions depot. Perhaps he infiltrated the First Fleet's base."

"But we didn't find any information about him. He cleaned it up completely, and your people are also on the joint investigation team. This is verifiable." Thinking back to the results of the joint investigation team's investigations in the First Fleet and the Lunar Colony, the First Fleet's commander-in-chief couldn't help but feel a headache. "As for the identity entry... we're still checking."

"Hmph, I'm afraid the First Fleet has been infiltrated like a sieve. How can you expect us to trust you?"

"The First Fleet has no secrets. All intelligence can be found on the Internal Affairs website."

As the scene began to grow increasingly chaotic, Halbottom spoke.

"Okay, everyone, stop for a moment."

The noisy sound in the conference room gradually subsided until it calmed down.

As the Eighth Fleet suffered the heaviest losses besides the First and Third Fleets, everyone wanted to see what Halbertson had to say.

After all, the Eighth Fleet alone lost two Drake-class ships and one Nelson-class ship, not to mention those Daggers and MAs.

"There are other people here. Arguing won't solve anything. Please get back to the point."

"Ahem...that's true." The commander-in-chief of the First Fleet looked at Halbertton, coughed twice, and continued speaking.

"Currently, the Requiem project has stalled. Next, should we abandon it or choose another position..."

"...No, we can't give up on this." Orphee glanced at the photo of the Requiem's wreckage in the upper left corner of the giant screen. "Requiem is a collaborative project between the Findersen Kingdom and Blue Cosmos. How can we just stop it?"

"As for the new construction location..." Aoife frowned slightly as she recalled the available funds in the Findershen Kingdom's treasury. "It'll be the same location. We'll reinforce the wreckage area and continue digging down. Build a new Requiem."

“Funding is not a problem.”

"...Okay, since you ask for it." The commander-in-chief of the First Fleet sighed and accepted Orphie's proposal. "But from now on, the lunar colony and the lunar base will be placed under strict control. We absolutely cannot allow what happened today to happen again."

"Then, the next step is to hunt down this 'Amuro Ray'..."

"Before that, I have some questions for General Halberton."

Just as the commander-in-chief of the First Supervisor was about to finish the last topic and end the meeting, Aoife spoke.

I saw Aoife looking at Halbottom with interest, as if he wanted to confirm something.

"I remember the Earth Army's daggers didn't have a ejection system. Why is it that in the battle report you submitted, the most serious injuries were severe, and there were no deaths?"
