Gundam, the Gundam journey of a certain glue guy and his mecha girl.

“UNIS 7, that is…”

"Yes, the colony satellite that was attacked by the coalition's nuclear missiles."

Kira's eyes widened. He opened his mouth, wanting to comfort his friend, but found that any words would seem incredibly pale.

"To prevent such a tragedy from happening again, I went to the battlefield, but I created the same tragedy with my own hands. Heliopolis was destroyed by the attack of my unit. There should have been a more reliable method at that time, but I abandoned thinking and just followed orders, and finally did something irreversible."

Kira listened quietly until Aslan finished speaking, then he took a step forward and extended his hand to Aslan.

"Aslan, let's go together to find a way to end the war."

As he looked at the hand that Kila stretched out, a warm, bittersweet feeling welled up in Aslan's eyes.

He took a deep breath and gripped Kira's outstretched hand tightly.

"Let's go together, so that such a tragedy will never happen again."

"That's right, absolutely right. We absolutely... absolutely must end this war!"

A voice, tinged with sobs, came out of nowhere from behind the two. Cagalli, who had arrived at some unknown time, grabbed Kira and Athrun by the shoulders and declared loudly while wiping away her tears.

Aslan looked curiously at the blonde girl who was crying because of them. For some reason, this girl always gave him a feeling similar to Kira.

A pure and gentle feeling.

'There are people like that in Orb too...'

Aslan thought so.

-----------------

Off the coast of Orb, the 4th Maritime Fleet of the Atlantic Federation.

Azrael, the leader of the Blue Cosmos Alliance, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the reinforcements that had just arrived.

During the daytime battles, the 4th Fleet suffered significant losses.

Not only was the air force almost completely wiped out, but many of the assault daggers in the landing force were also destroyed.

Moreover, the combat power displayed by the enhanced trio that Azrael had placed high hopes on, and the second-generation G, fell far short of his expectations.

Not only did they achieve no results, but the calamity was also destroyed by the enemy's unidentified new type of aircraft.

Extremely displeased, Azrael ordered the cessation of medication for the surviving Shani and Kurot, forcing them to reflect on their condition while suffering from the forbidden symptoms. At the same time, he used his authority as the leader of the Blue Cosmos Alliance to order an emergency reinforcement to be sent from the rear.

Dozens of brand-new mobile suits were sent over. Of course, these included not only cheap knock-offs like the Assault Dagger, but also elite troops that only he, as the leader of the alliance, could urgently mobilize.

Twelve Killer Daggers equipped with the new generation of empty backpacks, and one newly manufactured Flying Wing Catastrophe.

They were driven by twelve specially trained soldiers raised by the Blue Cosmos Military Breeding Institute, and a Sosis clone.

Although these specially trained soldiers are not as physically enhanced as the enhanced humans, combined with the rigorous military training they have received, they possess strength comparable to elite pilots of the Adjuster class.

The Sosis clone is a combat coordinator specially trained by the Earth Federation, and its strength is far beyond that of ordinary pilots.

'Just you wait, Archangel, and Orb too. Let me see how long you can keep resisting.'

Chapter 77 The Battle of June 15th (Part 6)

Shin Asuka sat on the space shuttle bound for PLANT, her forehead pressed tightly against the window, looking reluctantly at Orb as it gradually receded into the distance.

Born and raised here, he had to flee to another country in this small spaceship when Orb was invaded.

This made him feel like he was a deserter.

However, unlike Zhen, his parents did not have the same worries.

The Asuka couple were not native to Ob, but immigrants from other countries who settled in Ob to escape persecution of adjusters by blue cosmosists.

Now, Blue Cosmos has set its sights on Orb, and the Asuka couple dare not imagine how they, as the Coordinators, would be persecuted by the Atlantic Federation's occupying forces if Orb fell.

However, before leaving, they still stood guard at the Dawn Society for the sake of Orb, which can be considered as doing their utmost for the land that took them in.

The tiny space shuttle broke through the atmosphere, leaving Orb, which was engulfed in flames of war, behind, and flew towards PLANT.

-----------------

In just one night, the Atlantic Union's Fourth Fleet received reinforcements far exceeding the losses of the previous day.

Once the fleet command had completed the integration of the forces that had been delivered overnight, a new offensive was launched.

Unlike the Atlantic Federation, Orb did not receive such reinforcements.

The fortifications at the beachhead were completely destroyed in the previous day's battle, and the MS troops only had one night for hasty preparations.

The Orb Fleet suffered considerable losses in the battle the day before and was basically unable to launch any offensive operations. The Archangel was also bombarded by the Calamity and had to stay in the dock for emergency repairs.

The battle on the 14th was indeed a victory for Orb.

But if such victories were to occur a few more times, the country of Orb might never exist again.

The Atlantic Federation's tactics remained the same: artillery fire to clear the way, followed by MS forces storming the beach and landing.

The fortifications that had allowed the Union forces to hold out on the front lines no longer existed. Faced with the Atlantic Federation's obvious numerical superiority, the Ob army could only retreat to the outskirts of the city and continue to resist, relying on buildings and complex terrain.

The battle turned into a war of attrition, and Orb's resources were clearly far superior to those of the Atlantic Federation.

"Damn it, why do I feel like there are even more of these guys than yesterday? Are they cockroaches?"

"Cockroaches are disgusting, but they won't suddenly jump up and bite you... Be careful!"

Mayura's voice suddenly rose, and the machine quickly stepped forward, using its shield to protect the back of the target machine and take a shot from a beam rifle for her.

But before Mayura could even catch her breath, Julie's terrified screams filled the entire communication channel.

"do not want!"

Her mech was knocked to the ground by a Strike Dagger that suddenly rushed out, while another Strike Dagger took advantage of the opportunity created by its comrade to close in, draw its beam sword, and aim at Julie's cockpit.

Jun and Mayura's faces turned deathly pale in an instant, but it was too late for them to rescue Julie.

However, the next moment, the two Assault Daggers next to Julie's machine were pierced by a beam shot from the sky. Then, S Gundam set up the Elf Beam Cannon and fired at full power. The red and white beams drew an arc and pierced through the two enemy machines surrounding Jun and Mayura.

"So strong..."

Jun looked up at the S Gundam in the sky. Yesterday's battle made her think that she had shortened the distance between herself and that person a little, but now it seemed that it was still far from enough.

"You guys, step back now and hurry up and repair the machine. Leave this to me!"

"Okay! We'll be right back once the repairs are done."

As the war intensified, several Gundams with flight capabilities became the fire brigade. Freedom, Justice, S Gundam, and Phoenix Strike constantly shuttled back and forth between various fronts, using overwhelming combat power to plug the gaps again. However, this approach also constantly depleted the pilots' physical strength.

Mu, piloting the Assault, was a little better off, able to rest for a while during the recharging intervals. However, the three nuclear-powered machines, Freedom, Justice, and S-Gundam, did not need to recharge and remained on the front lines in continuous combat.

Raven knew very well that this was the enemy's mass-produced Sunframe S-type mobile suits launching a continuous wave attack, forcing Orb's high-end combat forces to keep up, and then deploying elite forces to destroy them when their condition began to decline.

But Raven couldn't refuse the support from his allies. The defenses were leaky everywhere, and if he didn't go to the front, the Orb army's defenses would really collapse.

"Raven, the enemy is here again."

El reported the detected enemy aircraft's location to Raven. The S Gundam quickly flew low over a tall building whose top had been sheared off by artillery fire, then suddenly flipped over, headfirst, aiming all four beam cannons on its shoulders and waist at the assault dagger squad.

"Give me the prize!"

All four beams pierced the enemy aircraft's cockpit with precision, but before Raven could catch his breath, a powerful short sword from another direction raised its beam rifle at him.

Raven immediately began maneuvering, the S Gundam's thrusters rapidly shooting to the side, allowing the machine to shake off the beams of light. The intense G-force generated by the maneuver pressed him firmly into the cockpit.

The S Gundam used a series of high-speed, irregular dodges to leave all the pursuing beams behind. The Elf Beam Cannon completed its recharge during the dodge intervals, and the red and white beams shot out from the muzzle once again.

The beam changed direction mid-air, its arc turning two Assault Daggers into scrap metal. The S Gundam, having just struck down the enemy aircraft, didn't pause. It drew its beam saber, opened its thrusters to full power, and charged straight at the last remaining Assault Dagger.

With a flash of sword light, the enemy plane was cleanly cut in two at the waist.

This series of high-intensity maneuvers put a tremendous strain on Raven's body. After fighting for a long time, Raven ripped off his helmet and gasped for breath.

Are there any enemy planes around?

Al didn't answer immediately, focusing on using the onboard sensors to search for the surrounding situation.

For some reason, the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

However, this brief silence did not last long. Just a few minutes later, a series of urgent alarms sounded in the cockpit of the S-Gundam.

"Enemy aircraft confirmed: 6 Daggers and 1 Calamity Wing."

-----------------

Not long ago, the flagship of the 4th Maritime Fleet.

The fleet commander stared with a worried expression at the constantly updated battle loss figures. To him, the lives of ordinary soldiers were just numbers, but the impending loss rate of over 50% was causing him considerable distress.

Such a terrible number of casualties could affect his future promotion.

'Damn it, don't their machines need to be charged?'

The three new-type machines on the other side have been fighting since the start of the offensive this morning, and so far most of the damage has been caused by those three new machines.

The fleet commander looked at Azrael.

"Director, we've almost achieved our goal of depleting those few mechs. Shouldn't it be time to send out your elite forces?"

Azrael didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

Moments later, the Loot, Forbidden, and Winged Calamity took the lead, followed closely by 12 Killer Daggers, forming a massive attack formation with Freedom, Justice, and S Gundam as their targets.

Chapter 78 The Battle of June 15th (Part 6)

The battle began with a sniper attack by the Winged Calamity.

The heavy mobile suit with large wings had just entered Raven's line of sight when it opened fire with its composite weaponry in the form of a long-barreled beam rifle.

Using this as a signal, six Killer Daggers, grouped in sets of 331, simultaneously attacked the S Gundam from the left and right.

The S Gundam performed a clean and crisp side flip in mid-air, allowing the sniper beam from the Winged Calamity to graz its shoulder armor.

Then, Raven steadied his machine and, seizing the opportunity before the battle, glanced at the Slaughter Daggers squadron that was forming an encirclement.

The equipment on their backs is similar in appearance to the air assault backpack, but the output power of the thrusters has been increased, and it seems that movable devices have been added to the two large thrusters at the bottom, which improves maneuverability and gives the air assault backpack a real flight capability.

"Those guys came up with an improved backpack in such a short time. No wonder it's the Atlantic Federation; they have a deep foundation."

"Now is not the time to dwell on that kind of thing, is it?"

Despite being teased by El, Raven's movements were not slow at all.

The S Gundam's jetpack unleashed powerful thrust, propelling it backward at a speed comparable to the Killer Dagger equipped with an improved empty backpack. Simultaneously, the four beam cannons on its shoulders and waist, assisted by El, fired alternately. Their aim was not to knock down the enemy, but to force the Killer Daggers to constantly change direction and dodge with continuous fire, attempting to exploit a weakness in the Killer Dagger formation.

The opportunity soon arrived. Raven seized the moment when the formation of the six Killer Daggers became scattered and pulled the trigger of the Elf Beam Cannon. A high-energy beam of red and white shot out from the muzzle, heading straight for the Killer Dagger at the very edge of the formation.

However, these special trainees piloting the Slaughter Dagger were not the rookies piloting the Assault Dagger. They reacted almost instantly, suddenly increasing the power of one of the thrusters, causing the machine to turn to the side and dodge the S Gundam's shot.

However, due to the effect of the illusion particles, the beam fired by the Elf Beam Cannon curved in mid-air, drawing an arc and heading towards the back of another Slaughter Dagger.

Such a cunning attack would be impossible for an ordinary driver to avoid being knocked down, but this man, wielding a short sword, suddenly turned around and caught the blow with his shield at the last second.

Raven raised an eyebrow in surprise.

The fact that it was able to withstand this attack was certainly due to the excellent quality of the Slaughter Dagger's machine, but more importantly, the pilot on the other side was a skilled operator who could bring out the full potential of the Slaughter Dagger.

"These people are not simple."

Raven could sense the mental fluctuations emanating from them. They were neither as excited and fearful as the recruits, nor as frenzied as the three enhanced humans from yesterday; instead, they were much calmer.

It's less a person and more a killing machine.

However, these calm killing machines can also reveal their murderous intent when they attack.

The distant Calamity, with its precise sniping, forced Raven to remain mobile. Meanwhile, the six Killer Daggers, after a brief moment of chaos, quickly adjusted their formation and dispersed in all directions, simultaneously launching an attack on the S Gundam. Six beams of light shot from different directions at the same time, completely sealing off all of the S Gundam's escape routes.

At that moment, the Winged Calamity, which had been waiting for its chance high in the sky, swiftly swooped down. The Siren Monster on its chest had been fully charged and it unleashed a destructive beam of light toward the S Gundam.

As Sosis' clone was about to succeed, his murderous intent reached its peak, and Raven accurately captured this intent.

Raven pulled the separation lever, and the S Gundam instantly split into three fighter jets from the MS. The Kraken's full-power fire passed through the gaps between the three fighter jets, but missed everything.

Even the special trainees and Sosis clones, who maintained near-absolute composure in battle, couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise upon witnessing this scene.

The fact that MS suddenly split into three fighter jets during the battle was still far beyond their imagination.

However, Raven wasn't gentle enough to give them time to react. After the three fighter jets drew three arcs in the air, they circled around to the back of a Killer Dagger and completed their aerial combination.

The beam saber sprang out from the knee armor and cleaved the machine, along with its empty backpack, in two before the slaying short sword could complete its turn.
