In a valley north of Vancouver, dozens of MSs are conducting actual combat exercises, and one of the black MSs is particularly conspicuous, just because this MS is much more flexible than the MS around it, and the hit rate of shooting is also incomparable to other MSs.

The GAT-X105B Fallen Strike Gundam is Thatchers' MS, and at this time, Thatchers is controlling this MS in this valley with other members of the ace pilot team to conduct actual combat drills, and in this actual battle, the Fallen Strike Gundam is equipped with the newly developed IWSP backpack, the so-called IWSP backpack, which is based on the three backpack equipment of the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam, which is a prototype type of additional weapon backpack. The original Strike Gundam can be equipped with three different optional parts depending on the battle situation, but under normal circumstances, only one optional part can be used in a battle, and the energy consumption is very intense. In order to make up for this shortcoming, the joint technical staff came up with an idea of combining three different optional components into a high-energy weapon backpack in the form of a fighter, thus greatly improving the versatility of the airframe and extending the combat time of the airframe. This comprehensive high-energy weapon backpack is called IWSP (Sstrikerpack).

This powerful backpack is equipped with a six-pack 30mm Gatling gun embedded in the shield on the left arm; Back 9.1m vs. Ship Knife x2, Shield Portable Beam Dart, Magnetic Cannon x2, Cannon x2.

Thatchers drove the Black Strike Gundam and passed back and forth in the valley, and the surrounding artillery fire seemed to pose no threat to him, although the vitality of the IWSP backpack was extremely powerful, but TThatchers's personality of liking hand-to-hand combat had not changed, and he saw that the Black Strike Gundam was holding two 9.1-meter swords, and the ms that were swept by the black attack were like chopping vegetables, and the teammates around Sacches seemed to be infected by the captain's bravery, and they were pushing forward as if they were not dying.

Morgan Chevrolet pilots the A-01E2 Black Tempest Shortsword, and the ace pilots seem to have a penchant for black, but compared to Black Strike, Morgan's Black Tempest has golden stripes around the edges, giving it the feeling of a king in the dark.

Although the weapon is not as powerful as the GAT-X103 Storm Gundam, but in Morgan's hands, it bursts out with the firepower of the original test machine, and the high-energy restriction fire cannon continues to shoot accurate shots, providing fire support for the team well, Morgan is getting more and more into the state, and Edward Halleson's avatar appeared on the screen next to him, Edward said with a smile: "Hey, Morgan, you are too unkind, the captain is so perverted, it's enough for the captain to be so perverted, you are still so fierce, we really don't even have soup to drink." Morgan also smiled and said: "You kid, if you don't work hard, you're embarrassed to say that I, if you don't have to worry about it, I won't let you fight a fight, haha!" ”

"Hmph, when I become the vice captain, I will not be worse than you if I am serious, if Rena is as fierce as you, I am also a little dangerous, no, I must not be worse than Rena, otherwise I will not be at the bottom?" Edward suddenly saw that Rena's shot down count was approaching him, and hurriedly said.

Edward piloted the GAT-X01D1 Duel Shortsword, which was replaced by a 15.78-meter sword similar to the Combat Strike Gundam based on Edward's ability to engage in melee combat.

Because the captain Thatchers is also a fanatical melee fighter, Edward often goes to ask Thatchers about fighting skills, although most of the time Thatchers is arrogant, but it is undeniable that Thatchers taught himself very useful fighting skills, and because of this, Edward's strength skyrocketed, and soon climbed to the second best in the ace pilot team after Thatchers, so Edward has been very respectful to Thatchers since then.

While Edward was chatting, the Black Strike Gundam piloted by Thatchers had successfully suppressed the command of the 'enemy army', and the actual combat drill was nearing its end.

Admiral John watched this actual combat drill with the full name of a large number of subordinates, and was very satisfied with this trump card unit under his command, and looked at all the troops united, and believed that no unit could be compared with the ace pilot team, which can be seen from this actual combat exercise.

In the face of 5 times the strength of their own side, and the opponent is also equipped with the latest mass-produced MS-Strike Short Sword, the ace pilot team can easily achieve the final victory, although almost half of the MS was shot down by Captain Thatchers, but it is undeniable that the overall strength of the ace pilot team is quite strong.

"Sure enough, the 'Messenger of Hell' Ali Al Thatches, your appearance is quite outstanding!" Admiral John said as he walked up to Thatchers, who had just stepped out of the cockpit of the Black Assault.

"Your Excellency, this is my duty, and at the same time my interest." Thatchers said with a smile.

"Very good, in order to recognize the ace pilot team, all the team members were promoted by one level at the same time, and the captain Thatchers was promoted by three levels." Admiral John said in a good mood.

"Congratulations, Thatchers, you are now a major, and you are the first to reach the rank of major in the training ground, and you must have a bright future in the future." Colonel Bida next to John said complimentally.

"Then thank General John and Colonel Bida for their kindness, and I will definitely continue to work hard." Thatchers responded.

"That's good, then you ace pilots will have a month's vacation, have a good time, because after this vacation, our troops will really enter the battlefield, let the monsters in the sky taste our horrors, haha" Admiral John couldn't help but laugh.

Sahara

The bullet-riddled Archangel docked next to the secret camp in the Bright Desert, and Malu took Mu and Natal to the headquarters of the Bright Desert to meet the leader of the place, Sebu.

"I, Marloue Lalias, on behalf of the Archangel, thank you for your assistance." Malu said to the people of the Desert of Light.

"Actually, the Desert Tiger is also our enemy, we are just helping you in the spirit of the idea that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, for us there is no difference between union and zaft." Seb said.

"Anyway, we still have to thank you, but our warship is now damaged by Yan zhòng, I wonder if there is a place near here that can be resupplied?" Malu said politely.

"Yes, there is, but there is no special way, and even if you have money, no one will sell it to you." Seb said.

"If you say that, I believe you should have a way." Mu behind Malu stepped forward and said.

"You are?" Seb asked.

"He is Mou la Flada known as the Eagle of Endymion, the pilot of the Morbius Zero on the Archangel." Cagalli on the side hurriedly said.

"Oh, so you know that, but since you know Kira just now, and you're so familiar with Strike Gundam and the Archangel, it's not surprising to know what I'm saying." Mu said with a funny face.

"Less nonsense, I just know." Cagalli said with a stubborn expression.

"Okay, let's get down to business, why should we help you connect?" Seb interrupted.

At this time, Natal, who had not spoken, said: "Just because we have a common enemy, if we are fully supplied, we are confident that as long as we form an alliance, it will not be difficult to defeat the Desert Tiger." ”

"You seem to underestimate the Desert Tiger, we have been fighting against him for so long, and we know the strength of the Desert Tiger very well." Seb hesitated.

"But if you add our strength, wouldn't the odds be greater?" Natal said unrelentingly.

"Let me think about it......" Seb mused.

After a while, Seb opened his eyes and said, "I agree to your request, but you must do everything in your power to help us defeat the Desert Tigers. ”

"No problem, because if we're going to get out of here, we'll have to defeat the Desert Tiger." Malu said in a decisive voice.

It was in this small cave that the Archangel's leadership reached an agreement with the leader of the Bright Desert, while on the other side of the Archangel, Shirin was reporting to a green-haired fellow.

"Liphonz, these things have happened since I got on the Archangel number, and nothing has been missed." Shirin said to Lifonz.

"Eun, it's about the same as I expected, but what I didn't expect was that you were injured." Liphonz said.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that my gadessa wasn't fully equipped, I wouldn't have been able to be crushed by these inferior creatures...... Lifonze, can Gadessa's take-out equipment be used? Shirin said unconvinced.

"Hehe, don't worry, those equipment can be used, but the problem is that you still have to stay on the Archangel for a while, and you can't leave until Orb, so that it doesn't affect the plan." Liphonz said with a smile.

"By the way, there is also that Kreuzer doesn't seem to be planning to cooperate with us, but he still came to attack the Archangel." Shirin said grumblingly.

"Well, we just said that there is a way to cure him, and there is nothing to indicate our identity, it is understandable that he did not fully believe us, he transferred a Gundam, and he did not attack himself, so it is already merciful, but don't worry, I left Bryn behind, as long as Kreuzer returns, I am sure that he will believe in me with all his heart." Liphonz analyzed.

"Anyway, I just don't think he's going well, huh, but for Lifonz's sake, don't worry about him, what should I do next? Lifonz," Schilling said hatefully.

"The next thing I want to ......" Lifonz could finish his sentence when a voice interrupted their conversation.

"Shirin, so you're here...... Well, who is this one? Kira, dressed in a blue warrant officer uniform, said as she came to Lifonz and Shirin.

Liphonz was unprepared to finally meet this legendary protagonist, although he knew that Kira's person was on the Archangel, but he didn't expect to see this ace pilot who was called the 'chicken god' so soon, but at this time Kira was obviously still a child, and the childishness in the corners of his eyes did not completely disappear in the battle, there was still a trace to follow, but after a few battles, Kira has become more and more consistent with the image of a soldier.

"Hello, I'm Liphonz Almark, a friend of Shirin." Liphonz held out his right hand and said to Kira.
