Arc 12Cross Vanguard Campaign
Long Fei’s Cross Vanguard Army launched a series of raids that weakened the Wanluo Federation and brought captured scientists and technology under Skywing’s control. As the confrontation stalled, Long Fei expanded Skywing’s military projects and prepared Li Xiucheng to pilot the S Gundam.
- Nikola collapsed after Long Fei imposed sweeping new treaty terms, and Kendi signed the agreement that ended the war with Metadeng.
- Long Fei tested the God Gundam with Dongfang Wudi, whose exceptional synchronization convinced him that the machine suited the pilot’s physical abilities.
- After Wanluo-linked forces hijacked a cargo ship and attempted to seize a Steel Ball Work Ship, Long Fei established the Cross Vanguard to raid the Federation.
- Rebecca and the F90 pilots fought through Wanluo forces, protected an academy cruise ship, and helped the Cross Vanguard defeat two pursuing fleets.
- The Cross Vanguard withdrew with captured ships and equipment, while Skywing sold seized colony satellites and used tolls and trade pressure to isolate Wanluo.
- Cross Vanguard agents raided Colony Satellite No. 19 and nearby bases, captured Cordelia and other scientists, and escaped as the colony’s defenses collapsed.
- Skywing publicized the captured scientists’ defection and auctioned seized technology while Wanluo’s shortages and political divisions kept it from escalating the conflict.
- Long Fei tested the Bull Gundam and assigned Li Xiucheng to the S Gundam, where ALICE trained him before Long Fei arranged a chance for him to spar with the Zhou Ya Sisters.
