Chapter 317 Weapon Transfusion
??Soon, Asha and the others returned with over 13 tons of Arcanite Soul Steel, three more tons than initially expected.
It seemed that Arcanite Soul Steel was quite abundant around the Soul Domain, causing Freya to have a lot in stock.
As for the payment, they didn''t need to pay.
Freya didn''t require any money or coteral.
Such things were insignificant to her, as she was already as rich as a continent.
Furthermore, a mere Arcanite Soul Steel was just some useless material sitting in her storage.
Letting Asha and the others borrow it was nothing.
Anyway their rich father, would surely pay for it.
After returning to the Moonlight Empire.
Asha quickly handed the materials to her mother, Isabelle.
"So much?"
In the past, Maximus had only given them a few tons.
Now, seeing over a dozen, Isabe couldn''t help but be excited.
Unlike L''s estimate, a ton of Arcanite Soul Steel could create about ten million Arcane cannons.
They only needed a few milligrams of it to create one Arcane Cannon.
This meant that 13 tons of Arcanite steel equated to at least 130 million arcane cannons.
Isabe could only imagine the enemy''s reaction once these cannons were fired.
So what if they had immortality?
Just one salvo of fire could destroy hundreds of millions of puppets.
After a few more seconds, billions could be destroyed.
Let''s see if they could keep up with the resurrection.
Furthermore, even if they could keep up, could the Emperor of the Westle Empire be willing to waste that Amalgamation of Will?
"Sister Freya is quite easy to talk to, so she gave us all her stock."
"Then we have to thank herter."
"It''s also thanks to L. She managed to seduce an Apex Sovereign," Asha teased.
In their short contact with Freya, Asha had already gleaned some of her preferences.
To Freya, it seemed that L was an addictive drug.
Bringing her along guaranteed 100% sess in transactions.
"L is indeed the jewel of the Shadowcrest family; we can''t do without you!" Isabe praised without holding back.
"Hahaha, Grandma, you tter me too much!" L smiled happily.
"It''s true; you''re the most beautiful jewel of the family."
"Oh, is that so? What about Sister Asha?" L asked provocatively.
"I''m the most favorite jewel."
"So what are you?" Asha quickly retorted, raising her chest.
So what if L was the most beautiful?
She was still a generation younger than her.
It was only natural that she was the favorite.
"Oh," L nodded unconsciously, thinking it made sense.
However, her smile faded as she looked at Asha hatefully.
"Could you just let me be happy for a while? Just take it as my reward this time..."
"I don''t want to see you smiling; it''s too blinding for my eyes."
"Hehe, does that mean you feel blinded by my beauty?" L smiled, thinking that Asha admitted her beauty.
"No, shut up!"
As Asha and L continued to quarrel, Isabe smiled.
Looking at them, she felt all her fatigue disappear.
"You three can go your way; leave the Empire to us."
"Eh! But we wanted to help more!"
"No more. There is a more important mission for you to do."
"You still need to quickly find your father."
"Staying here is only a waste of time, and it''s too dangerous on the battlefield."
"This--"
"Then we will look for Father."
"Don''t worry; we''ll bring Grandfather to you soon, Grandma!"
"Leave it to us, Grandmother."
"Then I look forward to it."
...
As time passed, billions of puppets continued to inch closer to the empire.
Isabe also took ten tons of Arcanite Soul Steel to the Shadow Hunter Guild.
The Empire stillcked the capability to independently build an Arcane cannon.
However, as a guild that started withbor, from building the Guild Headquarters, tier 9 Ship, Empire Arrays, etc.
The Shadow Hunter Guild was professional when it came to mass production.
After acquiring all the materials, billions of people quickly got to work, creating over a hundred million arcane cannons in just a day.
This was still not the full potential of the guild.
With hundreds of billions of members, if all of them worked, the task would be finished in less than an hour.
If it weren''t for the explicit ban or fear of the unknown.
Isabe would directly lead these people to the Curse continent and crush the Westle Empire.
Unfortunately, the unknown powerhouse hiding in the Curse Continent was like a sword hanging in the sky.
Without her husband, she didn''t dare to be arbitrary and provoke such a powerhouse.
After obtaining the Arcane Cannons, Isabe quickly returned to the Moonlight Empire.
Summoning Smith, the General of the Infantry Army numbering over a trillion, she gave the Arcane Cannons.
"So many?!" Smith muttered in shock.
Johnson, who was managing the navy, only had about 25-26 million arcane cannons.
Yet, looking at the pile in front of him, Smith estimated that there were about 100 million of them.
"This is necessary; only you have enough people to get this thing started," Isabe said, patting him.
Hearing this, Smith fell silent and sighed.
"Field Marshal, although I''m biased towards my soldiers, I''m afraid I can''t take on this task."
"My soldiers are quite weak; it takes ten to a hundred soldiers to manage an Arcane Cannon."
"Ick enough manpower to live up to your task," Smith bowed in shame.
His soldiers were really weak.
They were spontaneously formed by civilians.
With a short amount of training, most of them were only at tier 4, with a few reaching tier 5.
"Indeed, this is a problem..."
"How about recruiting more? Anyway, they would not be fighting on the front line."
"Even tier 3 individuals would do, just so they can load the Arcane Cannons."
"This— Then I''ll do my best to quickly live up to your expectations."
Coincidentally, quite a few people in the empire were eager to join the army.
Protecting their empire; the home that they were in had always been a glorious task.
Joining the Army at this time proved that they were worthy of living in the Moonlight Empire.
If not for their weak strength they would have already flown and fought with the enemy.
Smith quickly opened a recruitment task.
With the convenience of the Moonlight token, the people in the Empire quickly received the news.
"Recruitment Notice?"
"There''s still a recruitment notice?"
"Wow, even a tier 3 trash like myself is qualified?!"
"Damn, I''ve long wanted to fight those barbarians! How dare they attack us!"
"Now it''s better; we can finally join the army and protect ournd."
After a few taps, reading the recruitment notice, most people quickly registered.
However, a huge exmation mark was presented to most of them.
[Not enough Battle Points.
Please proceed to the Battle Coliseum and umte 10,000 points.]
"Huh, there''s still a requirement?!"
The Battle Coliseum is the most popr virtual app in the Moonlight Empire.
In the past, it was only about fighting a virtual entity and measuringbat power.
However, as time passed, it continued to be updated.
Now it possessed PvP, PvE, various team battles, battle royales, all kinds of terrain selection, and more.
If this continues, it might even be possible to build it into aplete virtual world.
As for battle points, they are universal points that could buy anything in the empire.
Unique resources, secret knowledge,nd, even a noble title can be bought.
It can be said that battle points are the measure of strength and status in the Moonlight Empire.
Thus, seeing the requirement, most of them felt it was natural.
"Time to grind in the Battle Coliseum, who''s with me?"
"Let''s join in and bully some newbies!"
"Hahaha, all of us are newbies; those strong yers are already at the frontline, fighting."
"Then it''s easier; let''s quickly umte points and protect ournd!"
"For the Moonlight Empire!"
"For the Moonlight Empire!"
...
While Smith was recruiting soldiers, Isabe went to Johnson.
"What is it, Field Marshal?"
"Additional weapons," Isabe said, giving him a storage ring.
"Huh? Arcane cannons?!"
Johnson estimated that there were at least 30 million arcane cannons in the storage ring.
With what he originally had, there were over 50 million arcane cannons in total.
With the current number of his soldiers, it was just at saturation point.
Not too much, not too little.
More importantly, with this, he could better cope with the enemy.
These days he hadn''t even had a wink, staring intently at the enemy.
Seeing them getting closer and closer, Johnson felt as if someone was gripping his heart.
Now, with tens of millions more arcane cannons, the smile on his lips was uncontroble.
"Thank you, Field Marshal!"
"This is really a timely reinforcement, giving the Moonlight Empire a blood transfusion."
"No, I and the people of the Moonlight Empire should thank you."
"Without you holding the front, we would even have peace of mind."
"Hahaha, you tter me, Field Marshal. Don''t worry, leave everything here to me!"
"I promise to make these puppets retreat to where they came from!"
"Then I hope for your sess..."
