The Mech Touch

Chapter 6721 Impatient Client

"Why must I wait so long for my expert mech to get upgraded to a proper first-class ace mech? Don't you know how critical the coming months may be, nephew?! Red humanity has been driven back to its final defensive line. If ace pilots such as myself aren't able to unleash our full strength, the enemy phase lords and warships will breach our fortification and put all of our clansmen in danger! The Larkinsons of Davute will be forced to abandon the community they built and become space refugees!"

"What's so bad about becoming a space refugee?" Ves shrugged his shoulders. "At least they are able to run away from the enemy. Haven't you learned the lesson from our repeated persecution in the old galaxy? No fixed location is truly secure. What is happening right now is like a rerun of the Sand War but on a much larger and grandiose scale. Those who survived were those who possessed their own starships or had easy access to them. Don't worry. We still have enough warships to accommodate every member of the Larkinson Clan, though don't expect too much comfort as there isn't enough premium living space at the moment."

The physical projection of the new 'Saint General' shook his head. "Since you don't care for the plight of our branch members, let us set this issue aside. My remaining point still stands. As an ace pilot, I cannot keep piloting an expert mech. I appreciate the work that you and your wife has done with the Lionheart, but the fact of the matter is that it has now turned into a cage that is preventing me from exercising my new Saint Kingdom to the fullest. My resonance growth has stalled as well. The longer I remain in this condition, the more I will miss out on the rapid growth period that happens after every breakthrough."

Ves heard Ark's complaints, but he remained unmoved.

"Look, Ark, if you were the only high-ranking pilot in our clan that has a demand for a new or upgraded machine, then my wife and I will be happy to prioritize the Lionheart. Mark II Project. However, your breakthrough came at an inconvenient time as far as logistics goes. Our Design Department is already committed to working on and completing the Minerva Mark II Project, the Riot Mark III Project and the Promethea Mark II Project. We are not going to disappoint Saint Commander Casella Ingvar and Saint Isobel Kotin by delaying the completion of their new machines by half a year or so. They became saints earlier than you. Their growth has stalled much longer than you, and I don't hear them complaining to me a few days after becoming saints. Why don't you take a page out of their book and learn to be patient?"
