Free Web NovelChapter 168: Ch-168: Rina’s Shock
In that arena, two soldiers were operating the Dual Saber Missile Mechs and sparring against each other.
Sometimes they would fight at close range with their swords, while at other times they would launch missiles and mana bullets at each other, and the crowd roared with every clash.
Rina and Emily were shocked by the performance of the Mechs and remained frozen for a few minutes until Rina said with a frown, "These Mechs look far more powerful than the ones those people showed me."
"Indeed, Miss Rina, these Mechs should be at least Rare Rank," Emily said in a serious voice.
"I still can’t believe he managed to merge technology with magic. Many blacksmiths in the past tried but failed due to various reasons. Could it be that it required a bloodline like Victor’s?" Rina muttered in a dazed voice. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Most likely, Miss. And if they can equip all soldiers with these Mechs, then they don’t have to worry about any enemies below Tier 3. They could likely be considered the most powerful army in the Kingdom of Eindrik," Emily said in a solemn voice, to which Rina nodded in agreement.
"Emily, do you think he will sell these Mechs to me?" Rina looked at the maid and asked.
Emily shook her head.
"If this is the most advanced Mech he currently has, he shouldn’t sell it unless he is foolish. You could most likely buy the inferior models you saw earlier," Emily concluded, causing Rina’s brows to furrow before she sighed. She would prefer buying these, but she could understand why he would be unwilling to sell them, as she would do the same.
Emily then looked around and spotted a female soldier.
"Hey, are all the soldiers equipped with these?" she asked.
The girl looked surprised and replied, "Only 70% of the army is equipped with Mechs currently."
"Only 70%?" Emily’s lips twitched at her casual reply.
She took a deep breath and asked, "How large is your army?"
Hearing this, the girl’s eyes narrowed and she thought, ’Could they be spies? Hmm, even if they are, the size of the army is public knowledge.’
"The army had many losses recently, so it’s just over 100,000," the female soldier replied casually.
’Heavens, this army is almost the same size as most Duchies,’ Rina cried out inwardly, and even Emily broke out in a cold sweat.
"I see," Emily said in a calm tone, but inwardly she was panicking. Just imagining those soldiers equipped with Mechs and a freak like Victor leading the army into the Hall Duchy made her feel a chill run down her spine.
Emily looked at Rina, and Rina looked at Emily. They could both see the shock and fear reflected in each other’s eyes.
"Then let’s buy the ones we came for. I think even if I cannot buy these Mechs from him, the Hall Duchy should secure him as an ally at the very least. Who knows what more outrageous things he will be able to build?" Rina said in a suddenly serious voice.

Victor had no idea about the two women’s plans and was currently sitting in the living room, checking the souls he had accumulated by killing all the spiders.
[Current Souls: 150,000]
"More than enough to increase the limit of the Army of Darkness to 1,000," Victor muttered and, without hesitation, poured the souls into increasing the army limit instead of unlocking the Tier 2 Army of Darkness.

Then he used another 60,000 Souls to buy 600 more Swift Strike Darkness Wolves.

"I need to conquer more land," Victor frowned as he saw he had more thousands of contracts remaining but could not use them due to the population limit.
Knock. Knock.
Victor raised an eyebrow when he sensed the person who had arrived and said, "Come in."
"Lord Victor, did you call me?" Edward arrived and bowed toward Victor before asking in a curious voice.
"Indeed, I called you to give you something," Victor said with a mysterious smile.
"Give me something?" Edward asked in a surprised tone and then saw Victor casually summon a purple scroll from thin air and toss it toward him. He looked at Victor in puzzlement as he caught the scroll.
"Check it out," Victor said.
Edward could only nod and open the scroll.
Hiss.
Edward sucked in a cold breath as his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets and his mouth hung open when he saw the notification that appeared before him. He could not believe it, and rubbed his eyes several times.

’SS Rank!’ Edward cried out inwardly as his entire body started to tremble with excitement as he saw the rank of the bloodline in his hands.
