Chapter Summaries

The Skywing Mercenary Group used its communication advantage and coordinated attacks to wear down the Dion Army before drawing its forces into range of two Pseudo-Argama MS carriers’ Mega Particle Cannons. The cannons destroyed the Zeus Wall and Marco Polo Fortress’s command room, leaving the Dion Army in disarray as the assault continued.

• The Skywing Mercenary Group coordinated the United Army’s attacks, divided Dion Army formations, and inflicted far greater losses than it suffered.
• Salamander’s fleet used Electromagnetic Accelerator Cannons and Mobile Drill Missiles to destroy Dion Army warships while Lieutenant General Zhan Rui ordered his forces to hold out and attack the target.
• After the Zeus Wall activated, Salamander positioned the fleet to expose the two Pseudo-Argama MS carriers, drawing Dion Army troops toward them while the Skywing Mercenary Group and United Army intercepted the charge.
• The two Pseudo-Argama MS carriers fired their Mega Particle Cannons, wiping out Dion Army units in range and collapsing the Zeus Wall; one cannon also pierced Marco Polo Fortress’s command room and killed Lieutenant General Zhan Rui.
• The Skywing Mercenary Group continued its bombardment as the Dion Army fell into chaos, and 00 Gundam activated Trans-Am and cleaved several Dion Army warships with its enlarged GN Greatsword II.

After Marco Polo Fortress fell, the Skywing Mercenary Group and the United Army uncovered a revolt among Dion’s oppressed lower-ranking soldiers and began questioning prisoners for intelligence. Their answers revealed active resistance networks and anti-Dion organizations, though most remained fragmented.

• Tols piloted the Penelope Gundam as the Ferocious Hound Squad suppressed unrest, while Dion warships and their crews gradually surrendered.
• Aixisi and Salamander discussed how Lower Citizens and slaves were more likely to surrender than Newtypes and Coordinators, and Marco Polo Fortress fell after roughly twelve hours.
• Aixisi’s forces learned that Nameless Fortress had also fallen, then took the Zeus Wall device from Marco Polo Fortress despite the United Army’s protests.
• Salamander, Li Xiucheng, and Aixisi interrogated the lower-ranking prisoner Brooks, who described the military’s class hierarchy and the oppression of slave-born soldiers.
• Brooks shared a secret communication channel, and the interrogators learned about resistance groups and anti-Dion organizations that mostly remained scattered.

During a break on a Colony Region 2 satellite, Lixiang and Yue Yangchun discovered how popular the Skywing Mercenary Group and its Gundam model kits were among local children. The two then helped Salamander choose toys for children.

• Salamander entered the toy store to buy toys for children, and Lixiang and Yue Yangchun offered to help him choose.

Salamander, Yue Yangchun, and Lixiang discussed the Dion Empire’s depleted forces, the strengths of its defenses, and the political risks of another attack. They left the question of the war’s next phase unresolved as Long Fei reviewed documents aboard the 1st Group Army’s 2nd Fleet, which was heading for Colony Region 3.

• Salamander explained the Zeus Wall’s defenses and why the Dion Empire likely lacked troops to reinforce its 3rd Expeditionary Force.

• Long Fei read documents in his lounge as the 1st Group Army’s 2nd Fleet, designated the 1st Extermination Army, headed toward Colony Region 3.

At the Skywing Mercenary Group’s 21st branch base, Long Fei and his officers reviewed intelligence on the scattered Dion forces and their plans to attack colony satellites.

• Long Fei sealed off Colony Satellite No. 3 and sent Sky Wing Mercenaries to investigate the attack on Taoxiang and the children.
• A Sky Wing Mercenary reported that Father Madeline and most of the nuns were innocent, while Yali and a charity organization had been used by Dion Believers Organization and a Dion Empire agent to target Long Fei's family.

• Taoxiang fitted Freedom Gundam's Meteor Unit with booster tanks and comforted her daughters before deployment, while Long Fei waited in Wing Gundam Zero.
• Major General Millett told Long Fei that his two elder sisters had been taken out of the Earth Sphere, but Long Fei said he would fight to protect his homeland.
• Salamander joined the deployment and ordered the members to watch over Long Fei, recognizing that Christopher intended to crash the occupied Colony Satellites into Earth and use the resulting rescue effort to regroup the Dion 3rd Expeditionary Force.

The Dion Army destroyed the first two Colony Satellites with nuclear missiles, scattering fragments toward the Earth Sphere, while the Skywing Mercenary Group and coalition forces destroyed the third with the Wing Gundam’s Annihilation Cannon. The Dion Army then used civilians trapped in the fourth Colony Satellite to force the coalition to divert troops into rescue operations, leaving the Earth Sphere more vulnerable.

• The Oya Cross Nation and Russo-Soviet Republic coalition discovered that the first Colony Satellite’s inhabitants had been poisoned, then repelled a stealthy Dion Army ambush as the Dion Army destroyed the satellite with Nuclear Missiles.
