nSoon, Asha and the others returned with over 13 tons of Arcanite Soul Steel, three more tons than initially expected.

nIt seemed that Arcanite Soul Steel was quite abundant around the Soul Domain, causing Freya to have a lot in stock.

nAs for the payment, they didn’t need to pay.

nFreya didn’t require any money or collateral.

nSuch things were insignificant to her, as she was already as rich as a continent.

nFurthermore, a mere Arcanite Soul Steel was just some useless material sitting in her storage.

nLetting Asha and the others borrow it was nothing.

nAnyway their rich father, would surely pay for it.

nAfter returning to the Moonlight Empire.

nAsha quickly handed the materials to her mother, Isabelle.

n“So much?”

nIn the past, Maximus had only given them a few tons.

nNow, seeing over a dozen, Isabella couldn’t help but be excited.

nUnlike Lila’s estimate, a ton of Arcanite Soul Steel could create about ten million Arcane cannons.

nThey only needed a few milligrams of it to create one Arcane Cannon.

nThis meant that 13 tons of Arcanite steel equated to at least 130 million arcane cannons.

nIsabella could only imagine the enemy’s reaction once these cannons were fired.

nSo what if they had immortality?

nJust one salvo of fire could destroy hundreds of millions of puppets.

nAfter a few more seconds, billions could be destroyed.

nLet’s see if they could keep up with the resurrection.

nFurthermore, even if they could keep up, could the Emperor of the Westle Empire be willing to waste that Amalgamation of Will?

n“Sister Freya is quite easy to talk to, so she gave us all her stock.”

n“Then we have to thank her later.”

n“It’s also thanks to Lila. She managed to seduce an Apex Sovereign,” Asha teased.

nIn their short contact with Freya, Asha had already gleaned some of her preferences.

nTo Freya, it seemed that Lila was an addictive drug.

nBringing her along guaranteed 100% success in transactions.

n“Lila is indeed the jewel of the Shadowcrest family; we can’t do without you!” Isabella praised without holding back. ʀᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛʀs ᴀᴛ NovlFir(e).nt

n“Hahaha, Grandma, you flatter me too much!” Lila smiled happily.

n“It’s true; you’re the most beautiful jewel of the family.”

n“Oh, is that so? What about Sister Asha?” Lila asked provocatively.

n“I’m the most favorite jewel.”

n“So what are you?” Asha quickly retorted, raising her chest.

nSo what if Lila was the most beautiful?

nIt was only natural that she was the favorite.

n“Oh,” Lila nodded unconsciously, thinking it made sense.

nHowever, her smile faded as she looked at Asha hatefully.

n“Could you just let me be happy for a while? Just take it as my reward this time…”

n“I don’t want to see you smiling; it’s too blinding for my eyes.”

n“Hehe, does that mean you feel blinded by my beauty?” Lila smiled, thinking that Asha admitted her beauty.

n“No, shut up!”

nAs Asha and Lila continued to quarrel, Isabella smiled.

nLooking at them, she felt all her fatigue disappear.

n“You three can go your way; leave the Empire to us.”

n“Eh! But we wanted to help more!”

n“No more. There is a more important mission for you to do.”

n“You still need to quickly find your father.”

n“Staying here is only a waste of time, and it’s too dangerous on the battlefield.”

n“This–“

n“Then we will look for Father.”

n“Don’t worry; we’ll bring Grandfather to you soon, Grandma!”

n“Leave it to us, Grandmother.”

n“Then I look forward to it.”

n…

nAs time passed, billions of puppets continued to inch closer to the empire.

nIsabella also took ten tons of Arcanite Soul Steel to the Shadow Hunter Guild.

nThe Empire still lacked the capability to independently build an Arcane cannon.

nHowever, as a guild that started with labor, from building the Guild Headquarters, tier 9 Ship, Empire Arrays, etc.

nThe Shadow Hunter Guild was professional when it came to mass production.

nAfter acquiring all the materials, billions of people quickly got to work, creating over a hundred million arcane cannons in just a day.

nThis was still not the full potential of the guild.

nWith hundreds of billions of members, if all of them worked, the task would be finished in less than an hour.

nIf it weren’t for the explicit ban or fear of the unknown.

nIsabella would directly lead these people to the Curse continent and crush the Westle Empire.

nUnfortunately, the unknown powerhouse hiding in the Curse Continent was like a sword hanging in the sky.

nWithout her husband, she didn’t dare to be arbitrary and provoke such a powerhouse.

nAfter obtaining the Arcane Cannons, Isabella quickly returned to the Moonlight Empire.

nSummoning Smith, the General of the Infantry Army numbering over a trillion, she gave the Arcane Cannons.

n“So many?!” Smith muttered in shock.

nJohnson, who was managing the navy, only had about 25-26 million arcane cannons.

nYet, looking at the pile in front of him, Smith estimated that there were about 100 million of them.

n“This is necessary; only you have enough people to get this thing started,” Isabella said, patting him.

nHearing this, Smith fell silent and sighed.

n“Field Marshal, although I’m biased towards my soldiers, I’m afraid I can’t take on this task.”

n“My soldiers are quite weak; it takes ten to a hundred soldiers to manage an Arcane Cannon.”

n“I lack enough manpower to live up to your task,” Smith bowed in shame.

nHis soldiers were really weak.

nThey were spontaneously formed by civilians.

nWith a short amount of training, most of them were only at tier 4, with a few reaching tier 5.

n“Indeed, this is a problem…”

n“How about recruiting more? Anyway, they would not be fighting on the front line.”

n“Even tier 3 individuals would do, just so they can load the Arcane Cannons.”

n“This— Then I’ll do my best to quickly live up to your expectations.”

nCoincidentally, quite a few people in the empire were eager to join the army.

nProtecting their empire; the home that they were in had always been a glorious task.

nJoining the Army at this time proved that they were worthy of living in the Moonlight Empire.

nIf not for their weak strength they would have already flown and fought with the enemy.

nSmith quickly opened a recruitment task.

nWith the convenience of the Moonlight token, the people in the Empire quickly received the news.

n“Recruitment Notice?”

n“There’s still a recruitment notice?”

n“Wow, even a tier 3 trash like myself is qualified?!”

n“Damn, I’ve long wanted to fight those barbarians! How dare they attack us!”

n“Now it’s better; we can finally join the army and protect our land.”

nAfter a few taps, reading the recruitment notice, most people quickly registered.

nHowever, a huge exclamation mark was presented to most of them.

nNot enough Battle Points.

nPlease proceed to the Battle Coliseum and accumulate 10,000 points.

n“Huh, there’s still a requirement?!”

nThe Battle Coliseum is the most popular virtual app in the Moonlight Empire.

nIn the past, it was only about fighting a virtual entity and measuring combat power.

nHowever, as time passed, it continued to be updated.

nNow it possessed PvP, PvE, various team battles, battle royales, all kinds of terrain selection, and more.

nIf this continues, it might even be possible to build it into a complete virtual world.

nAs for battle points, they are universal points that could buy anything in the empire.

nUnique resources, secret knowledge, land, even a noble title can be bought.

nIt can be said that battle points are the measure of strength and status in the Moonlight Empire.

nThus, seeing the requirement, most of them felt it was natural.

n“Time to grind in the Battle Coliseum, who’s with me?”

n“Let’s join in and bully some newbies!”

n“Hahaha, all of us are newbies; those strong players are already at the frontline, fighting.”

n“Then it’s easier; let’s quickly accumulate points and protect our land!”

n“For the Moonlight Empire!”

n“For the Moonlight Empire!”

n…

nWhile Smith was recruiting soldiers, Isabella went to Johnson.

n“What is it, Field Marshal?”

n“Additional weapons,” Isabella said, giving him a storage ring.

n“Huh? Arcane cannons?!”

nJohnson estimated that there were at least 30 million arcane cannons in the storage ring.

nWith what he originally had, there were over 50 million arcane cannons in total.

nWith the current number of his soldiers, it was just at saturation point.

nNot too much, not too little.

nMore importantly, with this, he could better cope with the enemy.

nThese days he hadn’t even had a wink, staring intently at the enemy.

nSeeing them getting closer and closer, Johnson felt as if someone was gripping his heart.

nNow, with tens of millions more arcane cannons, the smile on his lips was uncontrollable.

n“Thank you, Field Marshal!”

n“This is really a timely reinforcement, giving the Moonlight Empire a blood transfusion.”

n“No, I and the people of the Moonlight Empire should thank you.”

n“Without you holding the front, we would even have peace of mind.”

n“Hahaha, you flatter me, Field Marshal. Don’t worry, leave everything here to me!”

n“I promise to make these puppets retreat to where they came from!”

n“Then I hope for your success…”
