Gundam, Gravity Elegy

They were even more marginalized members of the entire army—the 5th Ground Division of Zeon.

Although it belongs to the same Earth Attack Force and is even ranked higher than the Seventh Legion, which is said to be Ma Kebe's direct subordinate, its composition is entirely that of an 'outsider'.

Its lower-level members mostly come from employees and their families of large cross-border enterprises, such as colonial communes, and even ordinary residents who are just tourists.

When Zeon fully revealed its fangs to the Earth Federation and declared open confrontation, those who were forced to remain in Side 3 were forcibly recruited, and most of its members joined this team.

Without citizenship or nationality status, and without a corresponding compensation system, their composition is not even taken seriously by the Zabi family or other military forces.

"Consumables—that's what I hear other people call those guys. Apparently, they're still using equipment that other units have discarded, and the main mobile suits in their teams are even old-fashioned Zaku."

"enough."

Just as the teasing in the channel was getting more and more intense, Xia finally couldn't help but speak up. His voice, which was more gloomy than usual, made the entire channel fall silent.

When he came to his senses, all he saw was a bewildered face appearing on the clear communication screen.

In contrast, his white mask and classic officer's helmet effectively concealed his true expression.

Gradually, the only corner of his mouth softened again:

"They are also soldiers of our 'Zeon,' brave warriors. Although we cannot reveal the plan to them for strategic reasons, there is no need to slander them behind their backs."

"...Yes, I understand."

Immediately, the seemingly honest old face turned serious.

"terribly sorry."

That's what he said, but no one can judge whether his apology was sincere or not.

Ultimately, Danning was just an ordinary Zeon soldier—he lacked the ability to judge the big picture, and without access to that information, he simply followed the mainstream and echoed what others said.

That's why, even as long-time subordinates, there are some things that can't be shared with them—no, it should be said that no one can know about this.

For example, the fact that the junior officers of the 5th Division were all former "Dykenists".

Unfortunately, the man named Char Aznable is unable to lend a helping hand, and the young man named Kasval Rem Deikun has not yet grown his full wings.

and so……

"Let's go, let's get out of here."

Leaning back slowly against the cockpit seat, the young major couldn't help but sigh softly.

To be honest, looking back now, he doesn't know what kind of impact this strategy, which was essentially gambling with human lives, would have.

'Om'

Perhaps in the eyes of some 'orthodox Zeonians,' it's just a matter of exchanging some consumables for an opportunity to defeat the opponent's main force.

All I can say is that, if executed properly, it would indeed be a resounding victory that would allow the duchy to hold its head high.

"So, I guess this is the end of it... right?"

"buzzing"

Suddenly, the roar of engines that had been lingering in his ears finally brought him back to reality.

Although there was no evidence, the sticky feeling that suddenly enveloped his body and the heaviness pressing on his shoulders made him frown.

Then, he discovered something:

"Denning, that wasn't Deday's engine sound, was it?"

"But I've only just started it!"

"Um?!"

'boom'

There wasn't even time to think; the heavy alloy door, which should have been closed, slowly opened.

A crimson glow flickered in the dim shadows.

"A black... Gundam?"

…………

"The plan itself is very simple. I need someone to stay in the control room to handle the scheduling work and to issue notices to everyone."

"However, judging from the map, the command post is very close to the energy zone, and we probably won't be able to leave the center of the blast radius safely."

"So I will try to find you a place of refuge. I will take care of any trouble on the road. You need to get here before the deadline."

Although that was the initial statement, Gao Ren still felt an unimaginable sense of urgency when it came to actually implementing it.

"Six minutes left?"

As he estimated the exact execution time, Gao Ren looked at the state of the underground airport.

There was only one bomber and one Zaku—a red one.

"An ace?!"

Who was it again? The legendary red comet?

"Never mind!!"

'Boom'

The main propulsion system, powered by thermonuclear rockets, propelled the giant forward at breakneck speed.

"Major, that guy, he's here!!"

Amidst those tense and terrified voices, Char couldn't help but grip the control stick tightly:

"Ugh—at a time like this!!"

'boom'

The Zaku took off instantly, and its high maneuverability allowed it to quickly increase the distance between itself and the bomber.

"Major, I'm here to support you—"

"No! You take off first! I'll distract it."

'boom'

'bang bang bang'

Just like when facing the Guncannon, which they had just fought, the 120mm cannon and close-in weapon system together formed a barrage.

But this time, the enemy he faced was not formidable, and he no longer possessed thermal weapons capable of rivaling the Luna Titanium Alloy.

And more importantly—

"What's causing this pressure?!"

A deep-seated sense of unease gripped him, almost rendering him immobile.

For some reason, he felt that the black unicorn lion was putting more pressure on him than ever before, and it seemed that his senses had become more acute at some point.

But this is probably not a good thing!

In a sudden flash of light, he sensed a thick plume of black smoke. It was clearly the exhaust nozzle of a rocket, but Xia felt as if he could see the billowing black smoke.

In that realm, the steel gleam carries the brilliance of war:

'Knock knock knock'

"Tsk, what is this hallucination?!"

After finally surviving the Gatling gun's armor-piercing barrage, the machine's alarm brought an even more devastating reality.

"Wait, I've been hit in the leg, I can't gain speed—"

Immediately, what greeted us was the dazzling, high-temperature glow.

“biu”

Despite being a standard weapon of the Federation Army, the oppressive force it exuded was unprecedented.

"Tsk, can't avoid it—"

If this continues, my entire chest area... no, I should say the area including the fusion furnace will be torn apart!

"Zi La"

But in the next moment, Gundam changed the direction of its slash, and the slash that was originally aimed at the chest directly severed the arm.

At extremely close range, he could vaguely hear some kind of sound:

"Damn it, I can't aim at it at all."

"—?"

In a daze, Xia suddenly felt a strong sense of absurdity.

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

"The fusion furnace was almost damaged—"

Author's message

…………

The good news is that Char now possesses the qualities of an Newtype; the bad news is that he's not using them at the right time.

I also made a shady deal with the expert.

Gundam World Travel

The following is a brief introduction:

What you think this book is;

"What? I'm still pretty accurate."

"I'm the man who makes the impossible possible!"

"Style! Dongfang Bubai!"

"Mission accomplished, self-destruction initiation!"

"The moon is out!"

"Are you going to start another war?!"

Happy birthday!

The actual book;

Actually, I want to be a good person!

Trying to pilot a Gundam while speaking so softly?

Honestly, send out watermelon ice one by one!

It's just a rail elevator, watch me push it back!

If you were to eject from the cockpit, your piloting career would be over!

Leo's performance will vary greatly depending on the pilot's skill!

Chapter 91: Comet Escapes

Danning, a sergeant, is a Zeon pilot and a loyal subordinate of Char Aznable, the Red Comet, who has fought alongside him since the Battle of Loum.

But in his long and distinguished military career, he had never seen such an absurd situation.

Char Aznable, the pride of their Space Attack Force and the ace of the Principality of Zeon, was completely outmatched in the battle.

Despite the new Zaku's superior mobility, it was instantly overtaken by the black Gundam.

Although Zeon's fluid pulse structure should be able to utilize the enormous power of nuclear fusion energy better than the Federation's force field motor, it is completely inferior in close combat.
