Su Ming sought alliance with Otaine and Jikol in the Land of Lost to exploit the Dark Star Empire's vulnerability amid its war with the Federation. Otaine hesitated until they swore brotherhood, naming Su Ming the eldest brother based on strength. They planned to strike the Energy Core·Heart of the Sky Base and rear production planets once the war escalates, then raised glasses as Su Ming prepared to depart.

Otaine and his companions realized a massive battle was on the horizon, with Su Ming burdened by numerous tasks.

"Okay!"

Su Ming responded with a grin.

...

Several hours afterward.

Within the Holy Club hall.

Displaying a bitter expression, Fia spoke to Novlin.

"Big sister, those guys should've rebelled a little later. Then we could've used the General as substitute and claimed the championship while the Fake V Generation Mecha went unused."

"Sigh~"

Novlin sighed in helplessness.

Just then, Su Ming entered alongside Ankaga and the others, beaming as he commented.

"No need for regrets."

"Lord Su Ming, you look incredibly handsome in that Grand General Uniform!"

Fia exclaimed in admiration seeing Su Ming clad in the Grand General Uniform.

"Haha, not bad at all!"

Su Ming replied with cheer.

"Lord Su Ming, have you come to meet our Legion Commander?"

Novlin inquired anxiously.

"No, I'm here to bid farewell to you all."

Su Ming told Novlin and Fia.

"Ah, departing already?"

Novlin showed surprise too.

"Yes, plenty of matters await me."

"Allow us to escort you."

"Sure!"

Su Ming agreed with a nod.

Novlin and her group trailed Su Ming and the others from the club, boarded a jeep, and sped toward the interstellar airport.

...

Over an hour passed.

The jeep pulled into the interstellar airport, where the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme loomed prominently.

"Wow, a Star Destroyer!"

Fia gasped, her mouth agape at the Thunder Extreme.

Novlin stood stunned in silence.

Su Ming grinned at Novlin and said.

"Novlin, join me aboard. I have some items to give you."

"Ah? Okay."

Novlin blinked in slight surprise.

"Awesome, I've never stepped onto a Star Destroyer before!"

Fia bubbled with excitement.

Su Ming instructed the driving Ankaga with a smile.

"Drive in!"

"Got it!"

Ankaga steered straight through the Thunder Extreme’s special entrance.

Soon, they entered the vast hangar.

Su Ming and the group exited the vehicle.

Novlin and others gawked at the orderly lines of Green Wings filling the hangar.

"Wow, countless Green Wing Mechas."

Novlin and companions murmured in awe, wide-eyed like villagers in a metropolis.

"Do they catch your eye?"

Su Ming smilingly asked Novlin.

"I like them."

Novlin answered without thinking.

"These 1000 Green Wing Mechas belong to you now!"

Su Ming declared to Novlin and Fia outright.

"Ah? Impossible, that's way too generous."

Novlin and Fia froze in shock.

A thousand Green Wings—beyond their wildest dreams.

"Just a start, even superior ones await. Come along!"

Su Ming guided the pair onward.

In a daze, Novlin and Fia trailed Su Ming.

They soon arrived at the forward docking zone, lined with several Shadow Slayer and Thunder God Mechas.

"All these Fourth Generation Mechas—are they ours too?"

Fia blurted out blankly.

"Fia, mind your words."

Novlin chided in mild alarm.

"Uh, just wondering."

Fia clamped her mouth shut.

"Relax, these 20 Fourth Generation Mechas are yours as well."

Su Ming assured with a smile.

"Lord Su Ming, these are far too valuable."

Novlin voiced nervously.

"No big deal, superior ones lie ahead."

Su Ming proceeded with the two in tow.

Ahead stood a Fake V Generation Mecha·Deep Blue Hunter and a Fake V Generation Mecha·Thunder God.

"Fake V Generation Mechas! Ours too?"

Fia leaped with thrill.

"Indeed."

Su Ming confirmed with a nod.

"Big Sister, Fake V Generation Mechas are ours now!"

Fia gripped Novlin’s hand in ecstasy.

"Lord Su Ming, such advanced mechas."

Novlin’s heart pounded fiercely.

"Not that advanced yet—follow!"

Su Ming brought Novlin and Fia to a genuine V Generation Mecha·Extreme Ice Messenger further ahead.

Novlin and Fia stared mutely at the V Generation Mecha before them.

"This one's yours."

Su Ming told Novlin.

"Lord Su Ming..."

Novlin found herself at a loss for words.

"Novlin, I know your thoughts, but hear me out! With the Dark Star Empire assault imminent, arm yourselves well. Retain half these armaments, pass the rest to your Legion Commander."

Su Ming clarified for Novlin.

Upon hearing this, Novlin drew a deep breath before declaring.

"Understood! I won't let you down!"

"Good, I trust you."

Su Ming nodded approvingly.

At that moment, Onite approached and passed a gift box to Su Ming.

Su Ming accepted the gift box and presented it to Novlin, stating.

"Novlin, this is yours."

"Lord Su Ming, you've gifted us ample weapons already."

Novlin hesitated to accept more.

"It’s different—those weapons are for work, but this is a personal gift from me to you."

With a warm smile, Su Ming clarified.

"Alright."

After a brief hesitation, Novlin extended her hand and accepted the gift box.

"Open it and see if you like it?"

Su Ming urged Novlin with a grin.

"Okay."

Novlin proceeded to unveil the gift box, revealing a stunning sky-blue lace gown.

"Wow, it’s so beautiful!"

Fia burst out in astonishment.

Novlin stared at the blue lace gown, a faint shiver coursing through her frame as silence fell over her.

Equally surprised, Su Ming promptly inquired.

"Don’t you like it?"

"No, I like it very much! Sorry to make you laugh."
