It was just that once on the battlefield, he was severely injured, his spiritual power damaged, and he had to completely withdraw from the battlefield.

Since then, he began to focus on the design and manufacture of mechas.

The manufacturing time for one top-tier mecha took at least fifty years.

Master Sink created six top-tier mechas in his lifetime, which accounted for half of the existing top-tier mechas in Stellar.

Tree Star, as his masterpiece, almost received attention from various forces the day it appeared.

Even the imperial royal family offered a sky-high price to buy this mecha.

The reason given at the time was to celebrate the first princess’s birthday. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"But what kind of person was Master Sink? Unbowed by monetary profit, he declared that although Tree Star was a mecha, it also had the right to choose its master; he would only gift the mecha to someone destined."

Gregory Lawrence spoke with full admiration and reverence, only regretting that he was too young at that time to meet Master Sink personally.

"Do you know to whom Tree Star was eventually given?"

While saying this, Gregory Lawrence interacted a bit, blinking his eyes, obviously waiting for Hannah to ask.

Hannah cooperated gracefully, "To whom was it given?"

Gregory was pleased, "To the previous Commander of Stellar."

That was the third commander.

The third commander was a taboo in all of Stellar, and within the imperial royal family’s territory, no one dared to discuss anything about her casually.

Getting to this, Gregory sighed again, "Speaking of the third commander, she too was a legend, bravely slaying enemies on the battlefield in Tree Star..."

This story is a long one.

From various details to many royal secrets.

Just as Gregory Lawrence himself said.

He knew everything.

Especially the truths the imperial royal family desperately tried to hide.

No matter how unspeakable or mad, he could dig them out.

Hannah thought, if this were on Blue Star, Gregory Lawrence would be akin to the top paparazzo.

There was nothing he did not know about.

He did not mention the false rumor popular throughout the empire about the "First Princess who single-handedly turned the tide," but instead laid out the truth directly.

The story was so long, dawn broke on the horizon before he reached the main point.

"Back then, the third commander drove Tree Star in the last great battle, but the royal family, fearing her power overshadowed the sovereign, ignored her requests for reinforcements. Instead, they conspired with their own enemies to trap her in the frigid borderlands..."

That battle lasted a long time.

And many people died.

They did not die on the battlefield, but in power struggles.

It was the selfishness of the royal family that killed the entire sixth mecha squadron.

They had all once been the elite of the empire’s elite.

In the end, the third commander single-handedly held off all enemies, leading them to a desolate planet.

She chose to perish together with them.

Master Sink had once said, Tree Star recognized its master.

So after the death of the third commander, Tree Star never activated again.

This forced the royal family, who wanted to retrofit and reuse Tree Star, to abandon their plans; eventually, they left Tree Star in the "Land of the Lost."

As the story ended, the day had brightened.

Only a few sparks of fire still danced in the campfire before them.

Gregory Lawrence figured those people were probably still at his house waiting for him, so he wasn’t in a hurry to go back.

The two didn’t stay put but got up and walked deeper into the dense forest.

The dense forest had paths leading in all directions, as long as one had a sense of direction.
