As I'm reading this chap, it just hit me. Did that new Ylvainan Rod and its network actually serve a purpose in that last battle?? I don't recall reading about their bunker mechs doing anything special......Ves gave them the means to bolster their recruitment/conversion rate, and gained nothing for it!!
Venerable Janzzi: Ah yes, lemme just oppose the one person who: 1. Single handedly carried me to apotheosis 2. Can literally rip away 80% of my foundation by asking Qilanxo to stop helping for a bit 3. Funds my current Prime Mech and future Expert Mech. 4. Is needed to keep developing my Mech as I polish my will 5. Literally owns the clan I am a part of.
