After yesterday's battle with the pirate, Yuri had collected a total of 467 mechas, adding to the three she had before, she now had 470.
"I have a thousand soldiers, which means we still need 530 more mechas," Yuri counted on her fingers.
"Not all soldiers pilot mechas, ships also need crews," Tuss reminded her.
"We don't have the ranks to own our own ships, so for now, we need the mechas," Yuri explained.
"We're on the border, special circumstances call for special measures. Officer Lyao said he'll pitch in some money, just enough to have a medium and a small ship delivered to us. The medium one's for you since you have more people, the small one's for me," Tuss casually stated.
In reality, even on the border, their military rank wouldn't allow them to own a ship. But things became different as Yuri got involved in.
For her safety, the high-ranking military officials of the Alliance were willing to turn a blind eye.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
