Chapter 154: Alternative R&D of Weapon 154

In the Poplar Kingdom, within the territory of the Augustin Clan, a massive factory was in operation.

The huge, towering chimneys belched billowing black smoke. Relying on this newly built factory, the Augustin Clan had made a fortune that they had never even dared to dream of before.

This factory could produce tens of thousands of K1 needle guns annually, not only supplying the Poplar Kingdom but also exporting to other surrounding nations.

Meanwhile, the Shireck factory within Poplar Kingdom's borders, unable to manufacture similar advanced weapons, was soundly defeated by Lord Earl Augustin in the commercial sphere and forced to withdraw from the Poplar Kingdom's market.

The situation looked very promising; the higher-ups of the Augustin Clan even began to see hope for the family's rise to prominence.
