Away from everyone eyes in Messiah Grand Army space forces are starting to come together tens of thousands of soldiers are undergoing very strict training and if you look closer some of them have wings on their back while some have very distinct alien features, those are from Celeste race and Alien race Arc rescued from slavery.
Many of them are working with Dianna in Grand Trading but most chooses to be in the army especially those slaves that have been rescued, as many of them are former soldiers before their race was enslaved. Oda places Tom and Jerry as trainers along with many new clones to help them better train soldiers in space. A new type of armored Mechs are being developed for the Army on Messiah.
Tom looks at the soldiers being trained and nodded he couldn't wait for this army to be deployed in the future.
Oda is also overseeing the construction of Grand Army battleships, he estimated it will be ready in just a few months. The shadow Units are also being trained in space combat and many other specialized things in Messiah. As the Shadow Unit no longer confined on Earth, and with the operations of Grand Trading keeps getting wider and wider the shadow unit needs to be ready for anything and so Oda turns the Shadow unit into some kind of special elite forces. That can do almost anything. And Michelle and Dove are more than willing to do it.
Except for those doing an important mission almost all previous generations of Shadow Unit are undergoing special training including Dove And Michelle it has been supervised by clones who specialize in training special agents. Oda ordered a very advanced training facility to be built in Messiah out of everyone's eyes. To the rest of the world, Messiah is just a production space station. And in some way, it was correct as half of Messiah is indeed being used to produce drones and some other products.
The Grand Army has three training facilities The Messiah is where space combats are being trained. And in Grand fortress land base combat is being trained and lastly in the former Maharlika. Specialize training is being conducted.
These three training centers are the lifeblood of the Grand Army and in order for anyone to become a shadow Unit, one needs to pass all training centers.
In messiah, many 1-star scientists are conducting research on how to combine the system factory with current technology without losing much power. And the current battleship being developed is the very first product of their research.
When almost every human and alien force is occupied by the war on Ganesh. Grand Army is slowly building its forces away from everyone's eyes.
And with the space elevator already under grand trading, they can now transport personnel without getting too much attention but of course, GFA noticed that Grand Trading are transferring many personnel in space, but they assumed it is because of the increase in production of drones and other products of Grand Trading. But of course, some are skeptical about it especially since the rise of Grand Trading is unprecedented so many human forces are keeping them under strict surveillance. In order to figure out the Grand Trading secret. But in order to not provoke Grand Trading, they keep a certain distance.
As many of them are relying on them for the time being. But that doesn't mean they will leave Grand Trading unchecked.
But Oda didn't care at all he was aware of all the eyes focus on them but unlike before they no longer care about human forces for their power already exceeded them by far what he was worried about was the tool holders Arc have mentioned before he left. And that's what he was preparing for, for he has no idea how powerful those tool holders are.
And that's not all Oda was doing in Messiah he is slowly starting to weaponize the Messiah as a more and more powerful weapon is being installed in secret along with a very powerful engine that's capable of moving the Messiah as fast as a regular ship. And with a shield installed on Messiah it is practically impenetrable.
Many forces didn't see any problem with it as it was the main production facility of Grand Trading so protecting it is only normal. Countless combat drones patrol the area of Messiah making infiltration impossible.
But even so many forces are spying on it. And looking for a chance to infiltrate.
As the days progress the war on Ganesh intensified the encounter has become more and more frequent and GFA and other forces have no choice but to band together as Ganesh forces began to increase in size dramatically. So many smaller forces starting to form alliances together to fight the Ganesh and while GFA and the Coalition are taking most of the Ganesh's attention. Small forces take advantage of it.
Carou the commander of Ganesh no longer playing around he began to fight for real he no longer tried to hide anything hidden forces of Ganesh who was supposed to be their hidden weapon are now being deployed because of Grand Trading supplying many forces with the means to contend with them, this drastically changes the plans of Garou he can no longer afford to play safe.
So he has no choice but to use every means he had in his disposal. He also asked for more advanced reinforcement, and because of that the coalition and GFA are feeling the pressure. Thankfully they no longer need to think about a lack of forces thanks to Grand Trading.
Even though they knew that Grand Trading are earning a fortune from them, they have no choice but to comply for one is it also because of greed they don't want to give away the spoils they can potentially gain from fighting the Ganesh so even though they envy the Grand Trading they are thankful the Grand Trading is not hogging all the spoils by fighting the Ganesh by themselves.
What they didn't know is that Grand Trading is making use of them to fight the Ganesh on their behalf and also Grand Trading is trying to lie low in order not to attract the attention of the tool holders until they have the means to really contend with them. And besides, it's a win-win for everyone as all of them are earning a fortune from this war.
What they didn't know is that Legion was the one responsible for gaining spoils from Ganesh. And Legion is indeed very busy, and he is the biggest thorn on Ganesh side as he is ambushing Ganesh forces left and right making it hard for them to gather their forces.
