Chapter Summaries

Xiao Ran questioned Domel and Misera about the forces on Iskandar and the Impact Legion, promising to release them if their answers satisfied him. Misera described the Overlord Legion’s occupation of Iskandar and explained that the Impact Legion had been forced into Gamillas’s service and was now trapped between Gamillas and Iskandar.

• Xiao Ran assessed Domel’s loyalty to the Gamillas Empire and Misera’s loyalty to President Desla, then asked them for information about the Iskandar occupiers and the Impact Legion.
• Misera asked Xiao Ran to guarantee their release, and he said she would have to trust his word.
• Misera revealed that the Overlord Legion had a ship like Xiao Ran’s, occupied Iskandar’s imperial palace, and held the Empress hostage.
• Misera said the Impact Legion had pursued the Overlord Legion to Iskandar, after which Gamillas forced it to become an auxiliary legion.
• Misera explained that the Impact Legion was trapped between Gamillas’s fleet and Iskandar, and asked to let Domel contact his bridge so its intelligence could be transmitted.

Misera and Domel traded information with Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran recognized Misera’s plan to falsify intelligence and sent Saki and El-Elf to retrieve the records directly. After confining the visitors, Xiao Ran checked on Chitose and found Luo struggling to analyze the advanced technology in her machine.

• Misera asked Domel to transmit intelligence about the Impact Legion, intending to alter it and mislead the Victory Fleet.
• Xiao Ran sent Saki and El-Elf to obtain the warship’s intelligence and had Domel and Misera confined in separate suites.
• Xiao Ran checked Chitose in the medical bay and learned that her internal injuries were not serious.
• Xiao Ran found Luo and Renard dismantling Chitose’s machine, and Luo explained that understanding its space-time technology would take a long time.
• Luo told Xiao Ran that he felt overwhelmed by the growing number of unfamiliar technologies his small team had to study.

Xiao Ran tried to recruit Renard to approach Sarah, a dragon girl with strong technical talents, so she could join the team. Renard struggled with the idea, while Luo encouraged him to get to know her.

• Renard explained that he had mastered Super AI technology and compared Nine's AI with other advanced systems.
• Xiao Ran praised Renard and Luo as complementary Technicians, then described a highly talented candidate suited to Fantasy types.
• Luo eagerly supported recruiting the candidate, and Renard agreed she could strengthen the team's technical capabilities.
• Xiao Ran revealed the candidate was a woman and suggested Renard spend time with her because he was single.
• Renard privately guessed Xiao Ran meant Sarah and wrestled with the thought of being asked to win her over.
• Luo noticed Renard's conflicted reaction and encouraged him to get to know Sarah without assuming their bond had to be romantic.

Renard accepted the task of raising Sarah’s favorability, while Xiao Ran arranged the fleet’s patrols and reviewed intelligence recovered from Domel’s warship. The files revealed the Impact Legion’s forces and distinctive warships, leaving Xiao Ran to assess the threat they posed.

• Renard decided to build a bond with Sarah through teaching and planned to enlist El-Elf and Cruze to analyze and guide her, while preparing to rely on Xiao Ran when needed.
• Xiao Ran left Renard and had Mwu organize the pilots watching the Gamillas Fleet into three rotating shifts to prevent fatigue.
• Xiao Ran assigned the Flame Dragon, Azure Dragon, and Jade Dragon to the Burning Legion to give Renard more chances to interact with Sarah.
• El-Elf and Saki returned with written records and videos from Domel’s warship, including intelligence about the Impact Legion and the Overlord Legion.
• Xiao Ran examined footage and Domel’s analysis of the Impact Legion, learning that its more than thirty ships included four unfamiliar types with massive gun muzzles and deployable cross-shaped wings.

Xiao Ran and Mwu assessed the Impact Legion as a major threat to the Victory Fleet and discussed how to exploit tensions between it, Gamillas, and Gedim. Xiao Ran left for the Yamato after it summoned the captains, while Mwu stayed to coordinate the fleet.

• Xiao Ran estimated that the Impact Legion had around two hundred and fifty participants, many B-class Pilots, and thirty warships capable of firing Moonlight Cannons.
• Mwu warned that a direct fight could tie down the Victory Fleet and leave it vulnerable to the Impact Legion, Gedim, and Gamillas.
• Xiao Ran ordered the Victory Fleet to use its strongest weapons without hesitation if it fought the Impact Legion, and suggested turning Gamillas against them.
• A staff member reported that the Yamato had summoned Xiao Ran and the other captains for an important discussion.
• Mwu stayed behind to coordinate command, and Xiao Ran went to the Yamato while ordering that the intelligence be sent to the other ships.

Captain Sanada explained that traveling through the Balan System’s Space Network nexus could make up the fleet’s lost time, though it would bring them into contact with Gamillas forces. Xiao Ran chose the risky route, and Sanada introduced Yulisha Iskandar as the source of the information.

• Captain Sanada explained that the Space Gate behind the fleet led to the Balan System, a nexus that could provide a faster route toward Iskandar.
• Tessa clarified how the Balan System nexus connected to the wider Space Jump Network, and Sanada said the route could make up all the time they had lost.
• Captain Sanada warned that the route likely led into a surrounding Gamillas Fleet, but Xiao Ran decided the risk was worth taking.
• Ruri Hoshino supported using the faster route, since reaching Iskandar sooner would leave the fleet more time to face later threats.
• Captain Sanada called in Kodai Susumu and introduced the blond woman who had supplied the intelligence; Xiao Ran recognized her as Yulisha Iskandar.

Yulisha Iskandar awakened aboard Yamato and met Xiao Ran, while the fleet prepared to investigate the Balan System. Reconnaissance revealed more than eight thousand Gamillas warships gathered beyond the Space Gate, and Xiao Ran began considering an attack.

• Sanada explained that Yulisha was Iskandar’s envoy and younger sister to its emperor, and that the Automatic Navigation System had been reading her memories until Yamato’s psychic attack awakened her.
• Yulisha met Xiao Ran, accepted his apology coolly, and left with Kodai Susumu to see Yuki Mori and visit his ship.
• Xiao Ran ordered a GHOST Recon Drone through the Space Gate and scheduled intensive combat training before the fleet’s next move.
• The drone returned footage of a vast gathering of Gamillas warships, and Moses estimated that more than eight thousand were visible.
• Lacus and Miss Huang suspected the fleet had assembled for an event or ceremony, while Xiao Ran privately saw an opportunity to attack the densely packed forces.

Xiao Ran questioned Misera about the Gamillas fleet gathered at the Balan System Space Gate and deduced that Desla was in danger and an assassination plot was underway. As Sellinger prepared to seize control of Gamillas, Xiao Ran planned to exploit the resulting confusion and attack the fleet.

• Xiao Ran brought Misera onto the Burning Legion’s bridge and asked why Gamillas had gathered warships at the Space Gate in the Balan System.
• Misera denied knowing the reason, but Xiao Ran inferred from her reaction that she suspected Desla was in danger and had participated in a plan to assassinate him.
• Xiao Ran told his crew to wait for Gamillas to fall into chaos, then strike through the Space Gate and destroy the enemy flagship.
• The Impact Legion had helped Sellinger assassinate Desla in exchange for Gamillas’s cooperation against Iskandar and the Overlord Legion.
• Sellinger went to the Balan System to take control of the Gamillas military, while Xiao Ran’s Victory Fleet prepared to target him.

Xiao Ran prepared the Victory Fleet for an assault on more than ten thousand Gamillas warships and warned the pilots that their success would determine whether the fleet could reach Iskandar. He began intensive virtual combat training, leaving the pilots facing a simulated Gamillas force after launching from their ships.

• Xiao Ran recalled the pilots and left drones to watch over the captured Gamillas Fleet.
• Xiao Ran told the pilots they would soon face more than ten thousand Gamillas warships and stressed that they had to protect the fleet while attacking.

• Luo started the training, and the pilots launched from their simulated hangars into a vast Gamillas fleet and its Space Fighters.

Xiao Ran oversaw three rounds of battle training, using the pilots’ failures to push them toward better coordination against the Gamillas forces. As the third round remained stable, he ordered Luo to introduce Planet Bomb attacks and prepared the pilots for a final training round before their departure.

• The pilots lost the first two rounds after their attacks left them exposed and their forces became separated.
• In the third round, the pilots formed a coordinated formation, with jump-capable units in the vanguard and the super robots at the center.
• Xiao Ran ordered Luo to target several warships with Planet Bombs to train the pilots for desperate enemy attacks.
• Xiao Ran told Luo to join the final round, assigned Graham and Cruze to lead the debriefing, and ordered the pilots to rest eight hours before departure.
• Xiao Ran left the training room to check on the captains’ discussions about the upcoming battle plan.

• Countless drones launched from the Burning Legion and charged toward the Gamillas Fleet.

The Victory Fleet launched a surprise assault on the Gamillas fleet, sending Space Jump-capable units to destroy its seventeen command ships while the rest fought to clear a path around the Space Gate. Sheryl’s song strengthened the pilots, and the chapter left the battle underway as the fleet’s ace units unleashed devastating attacks.

• Miss Huang assigned Yajenar First Squadron, Nadeshiko's Summer Flower Team, 00Q, Flame Dragon Team, and other Space Jump units targets among the seventeen Gamillas command ships.
