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

"Back to the topic, the reason we gathered everyone together is because the 'White Devil' and the 'Archangel' have both landed on Earth, and the Archangel was severely damaged by the Findersen Kingdom, so it probably can't escape anywhere." At this time, the officer pressed the remote control continuously, and the dilapidated scene of the port of Trinton appeared in front of everyone present.

Looking at the screen, many seriously injured soldiers were still wearing Blue Cosmos uniforms, which made Murtagh's expression become very ugly.

"This is the White Devil destroying the 'Turlington Integrated Research and Development Port' project, a joint venture between Blue Cosmos and the Kingdom of Findersen," the officer continued. "According to intelligence sent by the Kingdom of Findersen, it easily destroyed our prototype of 'Destruction' and completely destroyed the port of Turlington."

"In the end, it even wiped out the Findersen Kingdom's mobile suit force to the point where only one tenth remained." At this point, the officer couldn't help but take a deep breath. "The damage this machine caused was even greater than the previous White Devil."

The Earth Army has carefully studied the narrator and found that her firepower is actually not very strong. She mainly relies on a large number of weapons to ensure the combat endurance of the machine. There have also been incidents such as running out of power and fuel, so the Earth Army has also come up with several ways to deal with it.

As for the Unicorn on the screen, if the intelligence from the Findersen Kingdom is true, the output power and power of this machine's weapons are quite strong. And the high output power of its weapons also means one thing...

"It won't last long." Murtagh narrowed his eyes and gave this answer.

One of the drawbacks of high-powered, high-impact weapons equipped with high-energy batteries is that they consume power very quickly and run out of power in just a few seconds.

"This is also our chance." The officer nodded. "As long as we destroy the Archangel, this 'White Devil' will lose its fulcrum and be at our mercy."

"We just need to watch out for his high-powered weapons."

There was silence for a long time, as if everyone was analyzing the valuable parts of the intelligence.

"...I'll go assemble the fleet." Murtagh sighed and said, "According to the damage reported in the intelligence, the Archangel won't be able to get far."

……

The Archangel, now severely damaged, certainly cannot get far.

But Luo Jule's super freighter can travel very far.

Fortunately, Luo's super freighter was purchasing goods in the Eurasian Federation at that time. After receiving Ross's commission, he asked people from the Earth branch to drive the ship over.

On the uninhabited island in the dark night, with strong N interference, Ross still didn't know how the captain found the Archangel.

At this time, the crew of the Archangel was quickly moving the most important body components and the Strike Gundam from the Archangel to this super freighter.

Ross, on the other hand, put on his pilot's suit and calmly sat in the cockpit of the Unicorn, beginning to adjust the connection between the Unicorn and the Archangel.

"Test, test, Mariu, Natal, can you hear me?" Ross adjusted the options on the touch screen. The Unicorn's communication channel was connected to Mariu and Bakilulu's communicators despite strong N interference.

"I can hear you clearly." Mariu gritted her teeth as she listened to the voice on the communication line. "I'll leave the rest to you, Ross."

"Very good. Please keep the communication open and be ready to command me to operate the Archangel at any time." Rhodes smiled and leaned back in the chair in the cockpit.

It looked like he was destined to sleep in the cockpit tonight.

"Whether you can deceive them depends on your command."

PS: Today’s update.

My new keyboard just arrived today. I wanted to write two chapters today to make up for the seven I owed, but my family members ganked me, so I can only update once for now.

To be honest, it’s so fun to write with the tea axis.

Volume 104: Chapter : Another Day I Didn't Think of the Title

"DiDi Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di..."

The alarm rang in his ear, and Ross, who was sleeping in the driver's seat, woke up.

For some reason, the driving seat was in normal mode yesterday, but now it has become a reclining chair with the NTD system turned on, and I didn’t feel any back pain after sleeping here for a night.

As Ross regained consciousness, the driver's seat, which had been in a reclining position, transformed back to its normal state.

After stretching himself a little and patting his face to wake himself up, Rhodes reached out and turned on the touch screen on the driver's seat.

"Rods, are you awake?" Mariu's voice rang out over the communication line, seemingly after hearing the noise of Ross waking up.

At this time, the super freighter had moved to a place far away from the Archangel. Now Marilu and Bakilulu could only command Ross through the large number of screens installed in the cabin.

However, the sight of so many screens, displaying various radar scans and the perspectives of the Archangel's external cameras, brought her back to the days when she was undergoing command training at the military academy.

"It's seven o'clock in the morning. You're very punctual, Ross." At this time, Bucky Lulu's voice also came from the communication. "Also, you snored very loudly last night."

"Huh?" Ross was stunned when he heard what Baki Lulu said.

And in the communication, Mari's surprised voice was also heard, as if she had not expected Bakilulu to say such a thing.

"Ahem...it was just a joke." Looking at the expression on her friend's face, Bakilulu felt strangely awkward, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "I read in a book that relaxing before a battle will improve your combat effectiveness and chances of survival."

"Honestly, what you just said wasn't a joke anymore. It was shocking." Ross subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It's completely contrary to your usual serious persona. I thought you were being replaced by someone else."

"...I'm still myself, I've just been through a lot." Baki Lulu was silent for a moment before she spoke. "However, since a 'joke' has become a 'scare', then this is no longer my original intention. I won't do it again next time."

Baki Lulu sighed, trying to adjust her mentality and return to her original stern look.

However, at this time, Mari grabbed Bakirulu's hand.

"But I think this is pretty good." Mariu looked at Bakirulu's eyes, which kept dodging. "If you don't take the first step, nothing can be changed."

"To be honest, I've been worried about your relationship with the other crew members, Natal. If you're willing to improve it, that would be great."

"Is that so..." Bakilulu was stunned for a moment. Marilu's words made her at a loss for a moment.

In the past, I have indeed always been adhering to the identity of a "dutiful soldier", so in some places, even if I have been persuaded by my emotions, I will still make inhumane choices in the end.

But on the crumbling steel structure of the Garuda class, Bakilulu reached out to her former colleagues for help, but all she got in return was a bullet.

When she was falling from a height of ten thousand meters, she had never felt so relaxed, as if the shackles of the "Earth Army" had been broken. She calmly accepted her impending death, but was finally rescued by Ross.

To be honest, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, a young man driving a MS, a holy machine mixed with white and red... these elements mixed together actually seem a bit romantic. Perhaps the person who was caught at that time should have been a young girl with amorous feelings, and then the old-fashioned plot of "the prince and princess driving the holy machine lived a happy life" was turned.

Unfortunately, the person who was caught was such an unkind woman like her. Even though the girlish heart that had "disappeared" emerged a little when she was caught by the unicorn falling from the sky, she was a complicated adult and her self-esteem would not allow her to do such a thing as "throwing herself at someone else's expense".

However, she would probably never forget the sight of the unicorn falling from the sky and catching her.

Thinking of this, Baki Lulu couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed... change is a good thing." At this moment, Ross had no idea how much Bajilulu had thought about in that instant. "After all, people aren't static. We're changing all the time."

If Ross was on the super freighter at this moment, he would probably be able to immediately feel Bakilulu's emotions surging like the waves at this moment. Unfortunately, he was on the Archangel, a considerable distance away from the super freighter.

However, being able to read the target's mood from such a long distance, what kind of powerful New Type can be able to do it?

……

The Archangel continued sailing until it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

It seemed that they had seen the Archangel's crew changing shifts and were at their most sleepy when fifteen Earth warships suddenly appeared on the radar screen, scaring everyone.

Taking into account the network delay, they might have already aimed their guns at the Archangel by the time they saw the enemy warship marked on the radar.

"Rods, enemy warships have appeared, fifteen in number!" Mariu frowned, his mind racing as he stared at the radar image. "Open the hatch, and send the Unicorns out."

In the dim cockpit, Rhodes put on his helmet and took off the lenses.

Feeling the familiar dark scene in the catapult track, Ross looked at Big Haro who was fixed to the shelf beside him.

As long as the Unicorn doesn't leave the Archangel too far, Big Harrow can smoothly control the Archangel and complete the instructions of Marilu and Bakirolu despite the network delay of 120 to 200.

"Sorry... Archangel." Ross closed the communication and sighed. "I can't take you away... For the safety of the other crew members, I have no choice but to sacrifice you."

"Please hold on a little longer at the end and let them go further away."

As if responding to Ross's words, the Archangel's engine roared even more vigorously.

The familiar catapult hatch opened, and the waves raised by the explosion appeared in front of the hatch of the catapult deck. After the waves dissipated, the familiar warships of the Earth Army appeared before their eyes.

As for why only these old warships were dispatched and not the new Archangel-class warships.

The most important reason is that the Earth Army's Archangel-class ships have all been sent to guard "Grips". The reason why the Archangel-class assault ships, which are not suitable for defensive battles, are used for escort missions is simply because the Earth Army's designers have not yet completed the subsequent derivative drawings of the Archangel-class.

"Huh... attack, Unicorn." Ross took a deep breath and stepped on the pedal. The electromagnetic catapult activated, driving the machine out of the deployed catapult track at an extremely fast speed.

The propulsion backpack was activated, and thick thruster flames spurted out from behind the unicorn, lifting the unicorn, which was showing some signs of falling into the sea, a distance, allowing it to hover steadily in front of the bridge of the Archangel.

Ross looked at the Earth warships marked in the cockpit of Quan Zhoutian, as well as the dagger that was preparing to attack. He controlled Unicorn and raised the beam magnum in his right hand, aiming at an Earth warship.

Then Rhodes pulled the trigger.

PS: Today's update

I don't know why I'm so tired today, so let it be.

Volume 105: Chapter : The End of the Archangel

On the calm sea, the outer armor was temporarily repaired, and the Archangel, which was filled with steel plates of various colors and paint jobs, was sailing quietly, just like when it was heading to the Alaska base before.

What was different from that time was that fifteen Earth Army warships were watching the Archangel eagerly and gradually approaching.

"This is the mutinous 'Archangel'..." The commander of the combined fleet sighed as he looked at the battleship before him. "I've heard about it before, but it can still sail despite such severe damage. It truly deserves to be called the 'unsinkable ship'."

When he picked up the microphone beside him and was about to broadcast a call to surrender, he saw that the catapult deck of the Archangel was opened.

"I haven't even said anything about persuading them to surrender... Are you so determined?" The commander also understood what Archangel meant, shrugged, and put the microphone back in its place.

"Even if you're willing to surrender, you'll definitely be court-martialed and sentenced to death for crimes like 'treason,'" an adjutant said. "Captain, have you already written your suicide note?"

"It's been written long ago. After all, this time we have to deal with the 'one-man' who destroyed the port of Trinton alone." The commander adjusted his hat and cleared his throat.

"The battle begins, everyone, do your best to survive."

……

Leaving the dim ejection track, the calm sea was matched with the small island in the distance. The bright sunshine hit the sea surface, reflecting dots of light. Such a beautiful view made Ross slightly stunned.

"We've been surrounded..." But then, looking at the fifteen Earth warships gradually surrounding us on the sea, Ross narrowed his eyes.

"Next, let's have a big fight." Glancing at the magazine status of the Beam Magnum, Ross returned his attention to the Earth warship, which was deploying its hangar and ejecting daggers. "The longer we fight them, the safer we'll all be."

The Beam Magnum's power was immense, but at the cost of a slow recharge rate. Currently, it only held five rounds per magazine. However, thanks to the direct connection mode Rhodes had modified for the Beam Magnum, the firing rate was significantly reduced, ensuring the Beam Magnum's endurance.

"Here they come!" Rhodes looked at the daggers gliding in the air towards the unicorn with the help of jet packs, and controlled the unicorn to raise the beam magnum in his hand.

At this time, a large number of missiles were also fired from the Earth Army's warships, drawing trajectories in the air and flying towards the Unicorn.

The Archangel deployed all its weapons, and the remaining ammunition unleashed a powerful firepower network, shooting down many missiles flying towards the Archangel.

But unfortunately, because several anti-aircraft guns were destroyed, several missiles passed through the vacuum part of the fire network and hit the armor of the Archangel.

The makeshift armor was shattered again, and a fire broke out inside, emitting black smoke.

Although the Archangel was clearly on the verge of death, the commander of the Combined Fleet still felt that something was not right. He thought about it over and over again but could not put his finger on what exactly was wrong.

Suddenly, a thick red beam of light swept across the calm sea surface. The high temperature caused water vapor to rise from the sea surface, swaying in the air with the scorching air.

The target of this beam, an Earth Army warship, had its armor pierced through in an instant. Before the warship could make any comment, it was torn apart by the subsequent purple high-energy electric current, turned into irregular wreckage, and began to sink.

Several daggers that just happened to pass by the light beam were cut in half by the purple high-energy electric current and exploded in the air.

Looking at the tragic scene before their eyes, although everyone was afraid, they were not surprised. After all, the battle records provided by the Findersen Kingdom had already described the power of the beam magnum in great detail.

"Disperse the mobile suits. Don't give the enemy the opportunity to destroy multiple mobile suits with a single shot. Battleships one through five will continue attacking the Unicorn, while the rest of the fleet will engage the renegade Archangel." The Combined Fleet commander clenched his fists at the sight of the devastation wrought by a single Magnum Beam. "One emergency shot... This mobile suit truly is a monster."

The unicorn was seen constantly adjusting its nozzle in the air, moving between the beams of light shot out by the dagger, and occasionally using the Vulcan cannon on its head to blow up the dagger's fragile armor.

Compared to the Assault's physical armor, which has excellent hardness even without the PS armor activated, the Dagger, as a mass-produced machine of the Earth Federation, has reduced the thickness of its armor for cost reasons, making it somewhat vulnerable when facing the Unicorn's head Vulcan cannon.

Listening to the alarm echoing in the cockpit about being locked by a missile, Rhodes simply stepped on the pedal and steered the Unicorn closer to the sea surface.

Many missiles lost their lock due to the Unicorn's sudden acceleration, turning and flying in other directions. The remaining missiles crashed into the sea, exploding into a shower of water.

Ross controlled the Unicorn, raised the Beam Magnum, and aimed at a battleship again.

Pressing the trigger, a thick beam of light shot out from the muzzle of the Beam Magnum again, pushing the sea water to both sides like Moses parting the sea.

The high temperature brought a huge impact force and hit the center of the side armor of the battleship directly. As the steel structure was twisted and torn apart, the ammunition depot was affected by the high temperature and exploded, causing several hideous holes to appear in the battleship that was already broken into two.

……

"Archangel, roll 15 degrees to the left, Goldfield, aim at the 3 o'clock target and fire!"

"Load all the remaining Hell Darts and lock them all onto those daggers!"

In a cabin of the super freighter, Maru and Bakilulu were relying on the information on the screen and constantly issuing various instructions into the headphones.

They were still wondering how they could operate the warship with only two people when a guy who called himself "Big Hello" connected to the communication channel with a very obvious mechanical voice.

If it weren't for this guy called "Big Haro" who said she was Ross's supporter and provided proof, Mariu would probably have disconnected the communication right now.

But it must be said that Da Hello's efficiency in controlling the warship is terrifying. The Archangel is like a remote-controlled toy in her hands.
