The swarthy muzzle of the gun was pointed at several people in front of him.

Graham was undaunted by the muzzle of the gun, with an indifferent look. Kira, on the other hand, subconsciously protected Cagalli in a dress.

"It's over." The desert tiger clutched the pistol he had taken out of the drawer in his hand and said calmly.

But in the face of such a dangerous situation, Graham remained unmoved. "Shoot. Let me try to challenge the speed of the bullet. ”

The gleam in Graham's eyes made the desert tiger with a fierce face stunned, and then burst out laughing. "Hahahaha! It is worthy of an eagle soaring in the sky! Graham Ekka. If you are not a member of the United Earth, I think we will have a friendship that will be worth remembering for a long time to come. ”

"Oh? Did you see who I am? Desert Tigers. The corners of Graham's mouth curled, not surprised that his identity had been revealed. Instead, Kira, who was guarding Cagalli's side, couldn't help but get nervous when she heard the desert tiger find out who Graham was.

But just as Kira was subconsciously searching around for flaws, the pistol held by the desert tiger was also pointed at him. "Oh, boy. I advise you not to move. Even if you're the pilot of the Strike Gundam. ”

"Spotted?!" The desert tiger's words suddenly made Kira's body tense.

At this moment, a palm landed on Kira's shoulder.

"Teenager. Don't be nervous. The tiger in front of him was just bluffing. Graham said calmly.

Graham's words stunned Kira, who was nervous, and made the desert tiger who was trying to be seen through laugh.

"It's an eagle. Your eyes are sharp. Now that the intention has been recognized, Bartfield has lowered his pistol. Let's go! It was you who saved my life today, so this hospitality is a return gift. ”

"Hey! It turns out that your life is only worth a few cups of coffee. Graham shot back.

Barterfield, who casually put the pistol back in the drawer, spread his hands and said, "You say that very hurtfully!" Unfortunately, it seems that all I have in my life is coffee. ”

"Really? Tiger, you're still hiding! Graham gave a thumbs up, pointed to the closed door of the room, and sneered.

Seeing this, the desert tiger's eyelids jumped sharply a few times, but he didn't make any rebuttal moves, just turned his back and said, "Let's go!" ”

"Next time, I won't keep my hand."

"Oh, I won't either."

Under the arrangement of the desert tigers, Graham, Kira, and Cagalli made it all the way back to the street. Far away, the Graham trio saw Bucky Lulu and the others looking around in the center of the street.

"Wait!" Since there was no change of clothes, Cagalli, who could only wear that gorgeous dress, suddenly pulled Kira, who wanted to come forward to say hello. "Be careful that there is tracking."

"Don't worry! That tiger is not such a stingy person. Graham, who was standing next to him, patted Kira and Cagalli on the shoulders, and then took the lead and walked towards Bucky Lulu and the others. And Cagalli, who stayed behind, called a few times to no avail, and could only follow Kira with the hem of her skirt that was in the way.

The convergence was smooth.

As Graham had said, the tiger didn't send anyone to stalk the Dawn Desert group. However, for the sake of safety, Seb and Bucky Lulu learned from Kira and Cagalli about their meeting with the Desert Tigers, and decisively chose to take several more detours until they confirmed that they had gotten rid of the non-existent tracking forces before returning to the forward base.

Blowing in the blazing desert wind, Bucky Lulu, who was sitting next to Graham, withdrew his gaze from the fluttering skirt of the SUV sitting in the back, and kept staring at Graham, who was sitting in an extremely reckless position. Bucky Lulu's inquiring gaze brought Graham's sky-flying thoughts back.

"Lieutenant. How? Graham asked after adjusting his sitting position.

"Major. I don't have the right to ask, but from Kira and Cagalli, you seem to have a good conversation with our current enemy, the desert tiger. Bucky Lulu grimaced, looking at Graham sternly. Looking at the meaning of Bucky Lulu, it means that you must be collaborating with the enemy.

"Yes! Good chat. Unlike Bucky Lulu's imaginary denial, or even quibble, Graham was comfortable admitting what Kira and Cagalli had said. But just when Bucky Lulu wanted to continue to delve into the question, Graham took off his windproof sunglasses, looked at Bucky Lulu with sharp eyes and said, "Na." Lieutenant. If you had to pull the trigger on your best friend, would you do it? ”

Bucky Lulu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes." I will! As long as the result is favorable to the situation of the battle and can protect the citizens, I will pull the trigger and even give the order myself. ”

"Haha! You can say that again! Graham laughed and said imposingly, "That's it! Lieutenant. That desert tiger is good, but I'm a soldier. That's it. ”

Looking at Graham, who was extremely serious and his eyes were unusually determined, Bucky Lulu suddenly realized that he had misunderstood Graham. Perhaps from this moment on, Bucky Lulu reacquainted himself with the other side of the man in front of him who had been watching the enemy.

"Sorry! I misunderstood you. Major. "Knowing what is wrong and correcting it, Bucky Lulu fully embodies the character of an outstanding soldier cultivated by a military family.

Graham didn't say anything in response, but after raising his hand to say that it was okay, he continued to stare at the sky above him silently with his windproof sunglasses.

"The wind has changed, and the smell of the wind has become moist. A big war is coming. ”

As reinforcements from the base in Gibraltar arrived, the long-dormant desert tiger gradually revealed its claws and fangs. Although the support he had arrived was not the Baku brigade he had envisioned, he happily accepted the support after seeing the two airframes of the support team and the two from Kreuzer.

After seeing Barterfield casually sign his name on the confirmation form, he turned his attention to the two teenagers standing not far in front of him.

Andrew Bartfield. I really didn't expect to see the legendary members of Team Kreuzer on Earth. Oh, these two faces are so young! ”

The ridicule of the desert tiger almost exploded the irascible Yitzhak again, but fortunately, with his good friend Diego by his side, he stopped a good show of the lower official and the upper official. The Desert Tiger looked at the scar on Itsak's face, smiled slightly, and after commenting a few words on it, he looked up at the Duel Gundam and Storm Gundam that stopped on the side.

"Is this the MS that was co-created with Strike Gundam?" The Desert Tiger's inquiring gaze scanned back and forth at the Duel Gundam and the Storm Gundam.

"Yes. Captain Barterfield. Diego replied.

"Hmm. I won't go into details. You should know what to do, too! The Great War has begun! Barterfield retracted his gaze and said as he looked at the two young red-clad elites with sharp eyes.

"Yes! Captain Barterfield! ”

The Great War began.

Regardless of the strategic differences between the Dawn Desert and the Archangel's side, the Great War has always broken out.

The man named Desert Tiger gathered the final battle force consisting of Baku, the only remaining Baku, and the Duel Gundam, Storm Gundam, and four Zaut supported from the base in Gibraltar, and took the initiative to launch a general attack on the long-discovered hiding place of the Archangel.

In the moment of the decisive battle, both the Archangel and the Dawn Desert received warnings through the dark outposts scattered throughout the desert. Everyone knew that the desert tigers who had gathered such a force had made a murderous determination to wipe out the Archangel and the Dawn Desert. Faced with the moment of life and death, everyone seemed to feel the sharp blade of the Death Scythe on their necks, ready to strike the fatal blow at the end of the countdown time.

"Captain!" Bucky Lulu shouted as she looked at the images displayed on the radar.

"Nope! It's not time yet! Marlu looked solemnly at the sand dunes on the main screen. According to intelligence, the troops led by the Desert Tigers will attack from that direction and attack in a dignified manner. And such a frontal attack made everyone on the Archangel feel even more pressure. The disparity between friend and foe is too great. Even if he has the existence of Graham, an elite pilot, he can't erase this disadvantage in a short time.

The sand is rolling up, and behind the sand dunes on the main screen, a huge cloud of sand dust is rolling up and sweeping from the horizon.

"It's coming!" Malu was shocked, and immediately ordered: "VF-25, Sky Overlord, Strike Gundam Attack!" You all know your mission! ”

"Understood!" This is the sound of Graham and Mu's promise.

"Well, I'm going to be able to cover the Archangel in the Strike Gundam?" This was Kira's questioning voice.

"That's right! Second Lieutenant Kira, you fly the Strike Gundam to cover the Archangel with artillery bombardment equipment to make up for the Archangel's firepower as much as possible. Bucky Lulu said quickly.

"Understood!"
