If you ask Han Li what mecha he truly desired, it definitely wasn't Aida Kang's Prince Mecha, but Star Moon.
When he piloted Star Moon, he successfully killed the Empire's Great General Yi Nan, and that was when the opponent was piloting the General Mecha and supported by a Duke Mecha.
At that time, Han Li felt he could even defeat Ji Xinghe.
He later thought this was an illusion, completely unaware that it might have been a fact. When using mechas of the same class, the eight-armed form of Star Moon was simply too powerful.
Even Ji Xinghe would need to fight to know whether he could win against the combined force of Star Moon and Han Li. If it were Li Yuanba and Star Moon together, Ji Xinghe knew without fighting that he couldn't win.
"Star Moon demands a lot from the pilot. Currently, no one in the Independent Group can truly bring out Star Moon's combat potential, so an assessment is needed,"
