As the Sky Wing Mercenaries prepared to depart for battle, Long Fei and the Taoxiang sisters defeated Boris and his men before Long Fei met Russo-Soviet Republic soldiers eager to see the Gundams. A conversation between Brigadier General Victor and his grandfather revealed the Republic’s secret alignment with the Empire against the Metadeng Nation, and Victor was left astonished by a photograph.

As the Skywing Mercenary Group prepared to move on, the Metadeng Nation’s Congress argued over how to respond to the Russo-Soviet Republic’s advance.

The Russo-Soviet Republic captured Yellun Island Military Base after Skywing Mercenary Group’s MS units overwhelmed its defenses, and Major General Daniel died by suicide after ordering his troops to surrender. Metadeng Nation faced a collapsing defensive line and considered hiring mercenaries, while the Russo-Soviet Republic celebrated its victory and paused its contract with Skywing.

At Yellun Island Military Base, Ivan and Marina visited the Sky Wing Mercenary Group’s simulated MS battles and tested its Raptor MS, Dagger MS, and Gundams. Ivan lost while piloting a simulated Gundam, but learned how powerful it was and concluded that the Raptor MS was nowhere near its performance.

• Long Fei sent battlefield and MS data to the AGE System and saw that its theoretical weapons remained beyond his ability to build.
• Long Fei ate with Taoxiang and Lixiang, who noticed that Taoxiang and Long Fei had chosen the same food and drinks.

The mercenaries teased Long Fei and Taoxiang about being a couple, and Long Fei admitted he liked gentle yet strong girls like her. After he brought Taoxiang food and helped with her injured toe, the crew eavesdropped and mistook their innocent moments for romance, leaving Taoxiang to protest that things were not what they thought.

• Lixiang, Zhou Ya, and Zhou Na teased Long Fei and Taoxiang about being a good match, and Long Fei said he liked girls like Taoxiang.

• Lixiang left Long Fei alone with Taoxiang, then returned with his meal and encouraged them to eat together.
• Zhou Ya, Zhou Na, and Avina eavesdropped outside the room, and other colleagues joined them as they misread Long Fei catching Taoxiang and rubbing her stubbed toe.
• The eavesdroppers fell into the room when the door opened, and Taoxiang shouted that things were not what they thought.

The Russo-Soviet Republic and the Skywing Mercenary Group gained ground in the air and underwater, largely because of the Skywing Mercenary Group’s stronger MS. As more Metadeng Nation mercenaries entered the battle, Long Fei headed to confront them personally.

Long Fei and the Gundam pilots turned the battle against the Metadeng Nation, forcing mercenary groups to retreat and destroying much of the enemy fleet. The Victory Goddess’s Annihilation Cannon failed to penetrate Taurus’s GN Field, and the chapter ended with the Gundams charging toward the warship as both fleets prepared their main cannons.

• Justice Goddess Gundam F Type broke through the mercenary defensive line, while ZZ Gundam and Anton’s Gusion Gundam provided cover and helped Long Fei open a path.

• Lieutenant Colonel Makarov ordered the Aquarius MS Carrier to fire its Pulse Cannon, while Colonel Shrek prepared Albion’s main cannon and the Metadeng Nation fleets began retreating.

The Russo-Soviet Republic won its naval battle after the Albion destroyed the Metadeng Nation’s Victory Goddess, though officers worried about relying on the Skywing Mercenary Group. Back at port, Long Fei set terms for selling Gouf MS and investigated attacks on his merchant escorts while reviewing his companies’ progress.

• Colonel Shrek ordered the Gundam pilots back to their motherships, and Albion’s Mega Particle Cannon split Victory Goddess in half after the opposing ships fired their main weapons.
• Vice Admiral Trevor ordered the Metadeng forces to retreat, while news coverage sparked celebrations in the Russo-Soviet Republic and outrage in the Metadeng Nation.

• Long Fei reviewed reports of successful chip-company partnerships and wondered how his three older sisters were doing.
