Gundam 00: Rise of China

The moment the blue and white painted Gundam Exia, enveloped in the emerald flames of GN particles, plunged into the Union formation.

The pilots of the Flag Gundam, who were fighting the Taliban army, were stunned. They stared in disbelief at the Celestial Gundam that had turned its guns around.

"That guy? He attacked us?"

"Are you kidding me! Have these guys from Celestial Being gone mad?!"

"You traitorous lackey, you were attacking the Taliban army just now!"

Most of the flag bearers felt a sense of absurdity.

After all, just a few minutes ago, they were saying exactly what they are saying now.

Celestial Being's Gundams were indeed attacking the Taliban army, and at one point even brought them to the brink of collapse!

What does this mean now?

Ignoring the angry shouts of the flag-bearer pilots, Setsuna from Gundam Exia simply brandished his GN sword.

Thanks to the Gundam's performance, the three Flag-type Gundams in front of him, which were preparing to form a battle formation, were instantly severed in half, and the exploding fireballs connected one after another.

The flames in this area instantly tore open a gap in the flag-shaped formation, causing the Union army's small offensive, which had been advancing steadily, to collapse.

Meanwhile, the Taliban army, which witnessed everything, fell into an eerie silence.

Looking at the invincible Gundam Exia.

No one in the Taliban army cheered, nor did anyone take the opportunity to charge into the Union army's formation.

Everyone just watched in an eerie silence as the Gundam rampaged through the Union army, their hearts filled with a mix of emotions.

There was no joy.

Just a few hours ago, this very steel monster had killed countless of their comrades.

The blood of our fallen comrades is still warm. Just because Celestial Being's Gundam attacked the Union Army, does that mean we should treat them as "friendly forces"?

"Who does this bastard think he is?!"

Someone in the Taliban army muttered something under their breath.

The awkward and complex emotions in his words were like a fishbone stuck in his throat, impossible to spit out or swallow.

This was just as the Taliban soldiers who heard the statement but did not refute it thought.

"What are you all standing there for?"

He noticed the thoughts of the Taliban soldiers and witnessed Gundam Exia fighting as if it were following its own script.

On the public channel, Wang Ye, using the pseudonym Xia Ya, spoke up.

"I know what you're thinking."

The red thug flew to the forefront of the Taliban army formation, and Wang Ye held his long sword high in the sky.

"This is a disgrace. We, who have no power, have no choice but to rely on the power of our enemies in order to win."

"And then, in a humiliating defeat, we achieved a victory that should have been a loss."

"But even a humiliating victory is still a victory if it helps make Taliban's future better."

"you!"

Putting down his sword, Wang Ye looked around and continued speaking in a deep tone.

"You had no choice!"

"So remember this humiliation well, bury yourselves in your work for ten years, and when you raise your heads again, don't let your descendants win the next war with the same shame!"

Wang Ye's words were very unpleasant, quite offensive indeed.

But isn't every word he says just a reflection of this cold reality?

It's not that they don't understand, it's not that they didn't think of it, it's just that the Taliban soldiers couldn't accept it for the time being.

Now, thanks to Wang Ye's words that pierced through the barrier, the Taliban soldiers gradually calmed down.

Yeah, what's the point of worrying about it?

Is there no reason why Lord Char is talking?

If Taliban loses here, they will have no future!

So, without anyone saying anything strange, the Taliban army regrouped.

Then, shamelessly, they launched another attack through the gap torn open by the Exia Gundam, but the Taliban army once again bypassed the Exia's combat range.

It neither joined in nor hindered, as if the blue and white Gundam didn't exist at all.

It's awkward, but it's also done in this way.

They were trying to preserve their last shred of dignity.

However, Setsuna from Gundam Exia didn't care about this at all.

He neither needs the gratitude of the Taliban army nor cares about the curses of the Union army.

He simply believed in one principle: the oppressors were wrong, and it was the Union that truly started the war.

Then his sword should be aimed at the one that truly deserves to be aimed at.

On the battlefield, Gundam Exia continued to move at high speed through the Union formation, and with each swing of the GN Sword, a Flagship Gundam would fall.

Moreover, it would specifically target those flag-bearer captains who were trying to regroup and organize a counterattack.

Every time the Union army's flag-shaped formations were about to be assembled, they were scattered; just as they were about to stabilize their lines, gaps were torn open in an instant.

Union's entire front was shattered by a single man, creating even more opportunities for the Taliban soldiers.

Not long after, three more figures rushed in from the flank of the battlefield.

Those were Piris and Anura, along with Patrick, who was seething with anger.

Upon seeing the current situation, the three who had come after the Exia Gundam, and after being reminded by Wang Ye,

"Gundam!"

Patrick gritted his teeth. He wanted to settle scores with Setsuna, but that was clearly not the right thing to do now, so he had no choice but to…

"What Celestials, what Union? I'm Patrick, the ace who won two thousand simulation battles!"

He was holding his breath and couldn't go to Setsuna, so he decided to vent all his anger on the Union army.

In short, he cannot allow himself to become a laughing stock; he must achieve remarkable success here.

Good heavens, the Taliban army has so many ace pilots with names and titles. If you include Setsuna, the charge of six ace MS pilots is something the Union army can't possibly withstand at present!

The battlefield situation began to tilt in favor of the Taliban army.

As the loss figures soared, Chief of Staff Jason's knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists in the command room of the new flagship.

Taking a deep breath, Chief of Staff Jason could only place his hopes on that man.

"Captain Graham."

"Now, only you can turn the tide."

Unlike General Mike, who was prejudiced against Graham, Chief of Staff Jason, who knew everything better, actually thought highly of Graham.

He continued, his voice filled with expectation.

"Don't disappoint your late teacher; didn't he entrust his entire future to you?"

"So, Captain Graham, now is the time for you to step forward and defend the skies your teacher once soared in!"

Upon hearing this, Graham, who was fighting in the army, was shocked.

His teacher's face flashed through his mind, followed by the words Wang Ye had spoken in the opposing army's formation.

Looking at his allies who were about to collapse around him, Graham knew what he had to do.

"I may not be able to be a commander right now, but there are things that only I can do!"

Graham's signature flag engine roared under overload as he sped off, ignoring the routed allies around him and making no attempt to reorganize the battle lines.

He changed direction and, like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky, charged straight toward the Celestial Being's Gundam Exia.

"Killing you will change everything!"

Graham wants to defeat Gundam, and then he wants to defeat Char!

If Union can kill these powerful individuals one by one, then Union can turn the tide and win!

This is how I, Graham, do it!

In an instant, just as he was about to sever a flag-shaped structure with his sword, he suddenly became alert.

He turned his head sharply and saw Graham rushing towards him.

His pupils contracted, and in a split second he swiftly swung his sword to parry, the GN longsword colliding violently with Graham's plasma sword.

Emerald green particles and blue electric arcs flew everywhere in the field.

Graham's desperate attack had such a tremendous impact that even the Gundam Exia staggered back half a step.

Faced with an opponent who seemed to have activated a "super armor" ability, Setsuna's eyes widened slightly.

"Celestial Being's Gundam, the Union Army's victory will never be taken away by you."

"I, Graham Aika, will bring victory back to Union!"
