At that moment, Green was still at the factories in the Mist World, overseeing construction.
Eight of the ten planned production lines were complete. As more lines came online and the first batch of trained Ratfolk workers took their posts, production of the simplified Marine Armor accelerated. Daily output had passed seven hundred units, and the second batch of twenty thousand Mecha for the Divine Eagle Empire had already reached a warehouse in Northwest Province. All that remained was for the empire to collect them.
Then unexpected news arrived from Princess Mulesina: a certain brother-in-law had come forward, hoping to become their supplier.
The moment Green heard about the connection, he knew they could hardly refuse. The man in charge on the ground mattered more than any distant authority, and as supreme commander of the front line, Prince Simdo could find a hundred excuses not to use the Marine Armor.
What was more, this brother-in-law brought news that stunned even Green. If they reached an agreement, he and Prince Simdo would find a way to raise the Marine Armor order to one million units!
Green had thought an order of three or four hundred thousand from the Divine Eagle Empire would be plenty. He had been thinking too small. They were talking about a million right off the bat.
