After choosing to travel north in order to find the artifact that will appear in a month's time, Shiro made sure that she increased the training difficulty with the military so that they could use the specialised units.

Right now, roughly 10% of the military was reaching the standard required but they were having some difficulties with the increased difficulty. As for Shiina, Oran and Akhess, they were having the time of their lives seeing the new recruits struggle since that's what they had to experience when they trained with Shiro.

Of course, she didn't forget about helping people along the way but the number of good natured survivors rapidly decreased.

Since it had been a week, it was understandable that those who helped people would get killed first.

During this week trip, they had also come across a few settlements that had huge groups of humans banding together in order to survive but most of them have become criminal dens.

The moment their current leader shows weakness, the subordinates would kill them and take their place.

There were no benefits to killing or helping them so Shiro let them do as they pleased for now. If they get on her nerves later, she could deal with them.

During this time, Lisandra had also woken up. Her description of her ascension was rather difficult considering that it was something akin to walking alone in the dark. Occasionally, she could sense Shiro encouraging her but it was faint.

However, when a crest suddenly appeared in this dark world, she realised which direction she needed to go and managed to breakthrough.

Since Shiro couldn't see her class, she had Lyrica tell her.

[Lisandra LVL 610 Divine Judgement Archangel (Faith of the Nanotech Demi Goddess)]

Surprisingly, her faith was now attached to her title and it gave her some rather surprising benefits.

As long as she was carrying out an order from Shiro, she would receive a 50% boost to her stats. She is also able to borrow some of Shiro's power and use Shiro's divinity if Shiro gives her permission. While she might not be able to use the blueprints, she'll still be able to use the nanobots to consume her opponent's mana. Regardless, the fact that Lisandra could use a bit of her divinity is amazing in itself. If she could study it a little and make a few blueprints herself, it would be very helpful in a fight.

With Lisandra reaching tier 6, they now had quite the impressive roster of tier 6's.

"Right then, with quite a few of us at tier 6, we need everyone else to catch up." Shiro smiled as they were currently having a group meeting of sorts. It was to discuss what the rest of the part should do in terms of levels since Yin, Silvia, Lyrica, Aarim, Chen Yu and Helion were falling behind in terms of levels. Everyone else had reached tier 6 or close to it so they needed to level up or else they'll have to sit out on a lot of fights.

"What if we went to a city that was destroyed by monsters? There should be plenty of high level monsters there. Plus, it'll give us a chance to 'reclaim' a city I suppose." Madison suggested as she was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed.

"That's a good suggestion. We can also see if there are any luxury items that we can salvage. If there are, we can sell it in the shops around the city." Shiro smiled.

While she can make a lot of things with her nanobots, sometimes it was better to get the items yourself.

"In that case then why don't we have an expedition of sorts where everyone can join in once we clear out the monsters? We'll have people look around the city for anything that might be of interest for them. It'll be like a small event of sorts that lets them stretch their legs a little once we clear up the monsters." Lyrica suggested as Shiro nodded her head.

"Mn, we can give them teleport modules so that they can just return to the city once they're satisfied. They can take whatever they want and keep it. If they want to offer it to us, we'll take it if it's useful and in return, we'll reward them with something they want or something of equal value."

Discussing the event details for a little bit, Shiro sent out a notification to the city.

[Salvaging Event – Anyone can participate.]

We'll be stopping by a city that is destroyed by monsters. Once we've killed all the monsters in the city, we'll be sending down salvaging groups that will retrieve whatever they can from the city. Anyone can participate and if you register yourself for this event, you'll receive a teleport module that will bring you back to the city.

You can keep whatever you find but if you want to turn it in, we'll reward you with something you want or of equal value depending on the item that you have given us. The event will start in roughly a day or earlier depending on the situation. There will be a city wide notification to ensure that you don't miss it.

It is first come first serve and no fighting amongst one another is allowed.

More information will be posted later if there are any changes.

Sending out the notification, Shiro set up a registration link with the notification and immediately watched as the number increased.

"Well damn, they must really be bored being stuck in the city huh?" Shiro chuckled.

"Tell me about it. But if we host these often, I think it'll be helpful in relieving boredom." Lyrica smiled.

"Indeed. Anyways, I'll set a course to one of the smaller cities for now since it's the first time that we'll be doing this. We'll see how it goes and if it's good, we can aim for the large cities." Shiro smiled.

Instructing everyone to get ready, Shiro started to set a course when she received a request for a call from Shiina, Oran and Akhess.

Accepting the call, Shiro saw the three of them on the screen.

"What is it?" Shiro smiled.

"Your highness, since we didn't get a notification for deployment can I assume that this event is a follow up for leveling up a few members?" Shiina nervously asked as Shiro nodded her head.

"Indeed. The main goal was to level up some of my party members since they're falling behind a little." Shiro smiled.

"Pardon our rudeness but can we participate as well? Even though we can use Specialised Mechs, there are times when we must fight in person and we want to be of use even without our mechs." Shiina said with a serious face as Shiro leaned back a little.

"Hmm… It depends. The level of the monsters in the city is quite high. They can easily kill you with a bite you know?"

"We understand but our goal was to maintain distance and use the weaponry you have given us to kill the monsters from afar." Shiina replied as she waited anxiously for Shiro's reply.

Staying silent, Shiro thought about it.

All three of them have scored rather high with the weapons and they have proven their control with the high impact high recoil snipers despite being low levelled compared to the sniper level. If they can get a few levels, it would be handy since Shiro was thinking of making them into generals in the future with the talent that they have demonstrated.

"Sure, you have my permission. You are allowed to use the class 6 snipers as long as you equip yourself with a bodysuit as well. The moment you are in danger, I'll be teleporting you back to the city ok?" Shiro smiled as Shiina's eyes brightened up.

"Thank you, your highness!!" She bowed as Shiro chuckled.

"The three of you get ready then. Also, this is just for you three got that?"

"Understood!"

Ending the call, Shiro swiped at the screen to give the three of them access to the class 6 snipers for a limited amount of time.

When making the nanotech armoury for the military, she had designated 7 classes. Class ones were simple firearms that are quite powerful. They can easily kill anything below tier 4.

Class 2 are weapons that are embedded with a few skills that boost performance. Soldiers can redeem these weapons with enough points. Points can be earned by doing good in training.

Class 3 weapons are weapons that Shiro used to use in battle when she was lower in level. They are very powerful but compared to the current weapon, a little weak. These weapons can let you fight against tier 4's quite easily.

Class 4 weapons are weapons that can be used against tier 5 beings with quite a few skills to assist you.

Class 5 weapons are weapons like the mech that can help you dominate tier 5 beings but the requirements for use are strict to make sure that your body can handle it.

Class 6 are weapons that can one shot tier 5 depending on how much mana you charge into the weapon. But it's still a little behind when it comes to killing tier 6 beings.

As for the final class, class 7, it was weapons such as the void bomb that can kill tier 6 beings like nothing.

With class 6 weapons, the three of them should have a rather easy time.
