While the situation at the front continually deteriorated, the LMC constantly got better.
Sales of the Desolate Soldier and Holy Soldier were as high as ever. Under Raymond Billingsley-Larkinson's lead, the Prideful Soldier caught on very quickly and started selling like hot cakes.
The three predominant gangs of Bentheim bought them by the thousands while the lesser gangs tried their best to keep up!
If a gang did not possess a Prideful Soldier, then they weren't keeping up with the current trend!
With the Soldier product line receiving so much acclaim, it had become a must-have for every possible outfit!
Gangs and underground organizations from other regions were just starting to learn about the Prideful Soldier as well. Since the Prideful Soldier hadn't spread out as much, these customers only ordered a couple of copies at first to test the water.
Once they tested out the mechs themselves, Raymond believed that sales would soon explode.
