How long is the Flagrant Vandals arc?

I'm just curious how long we are going to be stuck with Ves in the military. I enjoyed it for awhile but now I want to get back to my favorite parts of TMT. Ves running LMC, designing new mechs, learning and getting upgrades from the system, the politics and growth of cloudy curtain, the interpersonal relationships with the rest of the cast, building his own private army and going on expeditions, lucky, etc.

Don't get me wrong I get that this is vital for the story, and what he stands to gain now will catapult his success in future, and by writing the same thing and being predictable the story may have grown mundane but still. Really wanna get back to aspects of the story I loved.
