While the Human Federation and the White Church were locked in a fierce battle at the entrance to the Cross-border Channel.
Azure Dragon Universe, Vilsert Supercluster, planet Outron.
More than a hundred years had passed.
Ever since Paulina and Lin Fan had reached an agreement back then, she had remained on this planet for over a century.
Of course, a fleet had always been stationed in orbit, monitoring her and preventing her from escaping.
However, aside from being unable to leave the planet, she faced no other restrictions. If she needed anything, all she had to do was contact the fleet commander in orbit, and it would soon be delivered.
On this day, as usual, Paulina tended to the vast sea of flowers she had arranged herself in front of the villa where she had lived for more than a hundred years.
As if she had suddenly sensed something, Paulina put down her tools and looked up.
A Shuttlecraft was passing through the atmosphere, descending toward Paulina's location.
This puzzled her somewhat.
After all, not a single Shuttlecraft had ever landed over the past century. Even when she wanted something, they had simply used light transmission technology to transport the requested item directly from orbit to the entrance of her villa.
Did something happen?
After more than a century of growing flowers, she had long since lost the imposing air she once possessed as the commander of a great army. She now seemed more like an utterly ordinary person.
"Ms. Paulina, please come with us to the warship in orbit. Marshal Lin Fan is waiting to communicate with you!"
"Understood!"
There were no technological devices anywhere on planet Outron, not even a communicator. It was completely primitive.
Yet for some reason, Paulina had come to enjoy this way of life.
