Ten days after the resurrection spell was successfully developed, Ron received notification at the lord's manor that the plan would proceed.
Ten days is enough time for the magic masters within the territory to learn resurrection magic first, and the selection of the legendary seed has also been finalized.
In the past ten days, the nearest kingdoms have taken the relevant records of the resurrected phantoms from Sandy Territory.
Ron was mainly waiting to see how things would develop across the continent. Since he had some free time during that period, he decided to go out.
The plan notification did mention that the relevant subordinates requested that Ron's presence ensure everything went smoothly, as Lord Ron was the inventor of modern resurrection magic.
Although Ron planned to come to the scene, he was determined not to interfere unless something unexpected happened.
Bring Rita along; Rita's magical barrier is enough to hide Ron, Vivian, and Little Tower.

Sandy Floating City, Southeast Military Camp of the City.
A powerful figure suddenly appeared at the camp gate. This person, who believed he had the potential to become a legend, was to undergo an assessment within the military camp. If he passed the assessment, he would be provided with war training services.
There are relevant notices in front of the camp gate of the military camp in the southeast of the city.
The selection of the southeastern military camp as the assessment site was the result of consultation between the two bishops and the commanders of the legions.
Soldiers within the military camp have their own selection options within the legion. In addition to the military, talents from the civilian population and those from outside the territory can also sign up to participate in war training.
Over the course of ten days, since the demonic announcement had been made to all the kingdoms and empires beforehand, it's true that among those who came to retrieve the resurrected phantom record were indeed some powerful individuals who had signed up for war training.
Those who believe they have the ability to register are generally at the peak of the Master realm. One person came on the tenth day, and three powerful individuals from outside the region came to register yesterday, with several more coming a few days earlier.
The limitations of modern resurrection techniques are obvious; it's difficult to make up for what's missing. However, participating in war training in Sandy Territory has another advantage: even if resurrection is impossible, the strong participants still have a final destination—to be converted into heroic spirits.
Because modern resurrection techniques have only been around for a short time, people still have expectations for their future updates and improvements. Several powerful outsiders came in the early days, and it is conceivable that as time goes by, more and more powerful individuals will have the opportunity and ability to train in Sandy Territory.
Within the military camp, Commander Keynes was appointed as the primary commander in charge of this matter.
The legendary music bishop O'Neill will hand over the candidates who pass the test to Keynes. The reason for choosing this military camp as the assessment site is that it is close to the two bishops in the city. The legendary bishop's personal presence is enough to subdue the powerful outsiders.
Today is a special day. In a military camp, Keynes said to a middle-aged man who had come from elsewhere, "You're late. You've been selected for the second batch of training."
The middle-aged man from out of town was very polite and seemed to be of noble birth.
Browning Elro bowed and saluted: "Understood. Thank you for your arrangements, sir. If the second batch of training is not yet ready, Browning requests to join the army. I hope you will give Browning more opportunities to kill demons."
“This…” Keynes pondered for a moment, then said, “Okay, but you need to write a magic report first. After obtaining your kingdom’s consent, Browning, you can temporarily participate in our army’s battlefield. Therefore, this is not a training requirement, so don’t worry, there won’t be any strong enemies for you to deal with.”
"Very well, then I'll trouble you, sir." After giving another military salute, Browning slowly retreated. He was late, so he could only wait for further instructions.
After arranging for the people who came this morning, Keynes got up. The people who had arrived early yesterday and the days before were still waiting for Keynes' orders!
Keynes was tasked with assigning different difficulty levels to the participants' war training scenarios.
On the other side of the military camp, twenty-three legendary seeds were already standing quietly waiting, and not far away was Bishop O'Neill.
With the legendary Shaquille O'Neal present, the twenty-three strong men stood ramrod straight, not daring to utter a sound.
Like Browning who arrived late today, most of these people were soldiers, saluting and obeying orders. The other few strongmen, who were purely civilians, temporarily obeyed orders and dared not say anything.
In fact, in the current wars in various places, a considerable number of the troops are free adventurers from the civilian population. These adventurers form temporary legions, and civilian mercenary groups also participate in the battles against the demon race as mercenaries.
The strong individuals from the common people had all been on the battlefield to some extent, and all twenty-three of them wore serious expressions.
Keynes brought a personal guard with him this time. Keynes said, "You outsiders, hand over the magic crystals, and we'll set off now!"
This is why Keynes said Browning was late, why service crystals were needed, and the precautions during the training, etc. Participants had to arrive at least one day in advance so that Sandy officials could fully explain everything.
Those present were all people who had arrived early. The outsiders had already understood the reason for paying the service magic crystals. The seven powerful outsiders stepped forward and obediently went to the guards to pay the service fee.
Three high-level magic crystals, which is equivalent to a service fee of 30,000 low-level magic crystals, and each death-defying trial costs 30,000...
Outsiders are required to pay, while local military and civilian personnel pay free of charge.
The explanation given at least one day in advance stated the reason: Due to the limitations of modern resurrection techniques, at least one legendary figure must remain behind the scenes. This legendary powerhouse guarantees the probability of recovering the bodies of those who fail. In case even a legendary figure cannot recover the bodies, a contract must be signed beforehand, specifying whether the individual agrees to be extradited as a heroic spirit...
The legendary guarantee service fee alone is worth 30,000, and there's even a service to extradite heroic spirits in case of emergencies…
The powerful outsiders were naturally willing to pay this service fee.
Because everything is expensive during wartime, 30,000 is not a small amount for an individual. At this time, the powerful figures behind these outsiders have the opportunity to do favors for them.
My territory only charges 30,000, but the high-ranking officials of other kingdoms and empires think it's too little. They believe the more service fees the better, so that their local talents won't stay in Sandy Territory. How many legendary seeds can each country have?
This 30,000 is in the form of insurance money. If a legendary figure really makes a move, the fee will directly increase to ten high-level magic crystals, which is 100,000.
This is another reason. All regions need to reduce the frequency of legendary attacks. What if the demons make Sandy Territory their main target?
Ten thousand low-level magic crystals is too little!
With answers given at least a day in advance, these powerful individuals also knew to preserve the corpses as intact as possible.
The training requirements specify that it will be a life-or-death situation, and all participants must not have any life-saving items such as random teleportation scrolls in their spatial rings, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the training.
In fact, the Sandy Territory officials had considered concealing the participants' inevitable death beforehand. The best outcome would be for the participants not to know that they could be resurrected, which would make them fight even harder to survive!
Unfortunately, every batch of trainees includes outsiders, which introduces too many variables. It would be better to make it clear beforehand to avoid those who are tricked into dying and then resurrected harboring resentment. Since outsiders already know they can be resurrected, it's not good to hide it from them.
After a while, seeing that all the outsiders had paid their service fees, Keynes turned to Bishop O'Neill and said, "Sir, please!"
"Hmm..." O'Neal responded slightly and left first, disappearing in no time. Everyone knew that the legend of O'Neal was no longer around, and could only hope that O'Neal would intervene in time if necessary.
Keynes turned back to face the crowd and said, "Everyone, let's go!"
Among the first group of strong individuals to participate in the training, Feli was extremely nervous.
Feli comes from the Kingdom of Doron.
He wasn't originally a master-level mage specializing in combat; strictly speaking, Feli should be considered a magical talent.
Why did Feli willingly accept the invitation from the kingdom's envoy? The main reason was that the Kingdom of Doron only had one legendary powerhouse left. Due to the war, the kingdom, which originally had two great revered legends, now only had one left!
If a kingdom faces a situation where it has no legendary figures, then it will be powerless to stop the demons' attack. Moreover, once the demon god invades, if it doesn't even have a single domain legend, it will lose any chance of barely resisting until the Rich Empire provides support. The Kingdom of Doron is a vassal state of the Rich Empire, and at that time, the entire kingdom will be filled with refugees.
If a legendary figure in the domain is guarding the barrier, it is possible to receive support, especially if there is a magical report.
Feli is a legendary talent and is highly valued by the Kingdom of Doron. He is among the first batch of talents. If Sandy Territory can be fully revived, the Kingdom of Doron will consider sending one-third or half of its talents to Sandy Territory.
No resurrection master in our own country is as reliable as the one from the place of origin of resurrection magic. Besides, there are too few legendary experts. What if the demons lure and kill our legendary figures during the training of our promising talents? Anyway, Sandy Territory is not far from the Kingdom of Doron. Let's leave it at that for now! The way of survival for a small kingdom.
Feli arrived in Sandy Territory three days ago. He was asked why he chose Sandy Territory, and the relevant information was already known to the Sandy Territory leadership.
Ron and his group also remained behind the scenes. Ron understood the situation of Feli and the others, but he was helpless. He could only wait and see if they could live up to expectations and wait for the situation on the continent to change before taking things one step at a time. The fragile kingdom, knowing its own lack of strength, would generally develop magic more deeply. This was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Just like many years ago, Mentor Will suppressed the two legendary juniors, and in the end the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild could only reconcile. The number of legendary figures is not the only factor. A kingdom with only one legendary figure can hold out for a long time as long as the demons have not figured out the situation of that legendary figure.
After a while, Feli arrived at the battlefield with his team.
Due to the training requirements, the battlefield environment can only be dispersed or conducted in batches.
The training will not involve aerial combat, but will take place on the ground, because not all Grandmaster-level experts have an affinity for wind elements, and the conditions for aerial combat are not ideal.
The Sandy Earl's territory is large enough, and there are several key protected areas on the ground, such as military food production areas and city-level magical weapon production areas.
A while later, Felly suddenly received an order from Keynes.
The message came from the magic bracelet that came with the device. This was a close-range magic communication device. For short distances, there was no need to use magic theories such as elemental entanglement. Other methods were sufficient for transmitting sound or projections.
The conditions for elemental entanglement are very stringent, and ultra-long-distance phantom teleportation is still under intensive research.
Feli is a true magical talent. He immediately recognized the advanced technology of Sandy Territory's magical bracelet, proving it's worthy of being one of the birthplaces of magic.
Unfortunately, what can one do when Feli comes from the Kingdom of Doron?
The higher-ups of the Kingdom of Doron didn't quite believe in the profound application of magical laws, nor could they wait for it; they only wanted more legendary offerings.
Legendary status! Its significance to the kingdom was too deeply ingrained. Feli didn't actually care whether he was legendary or not; he only wanted to research and create magical artifacts of legendary rank and above…
Looking back to their time in the kingdom, they had already given Felita a chance, but unfortunately, breakthroughs in magic were equally difficult...
Since we're already here, let's fight!
Ferry obeyed the military order and went down.
