As soon as Ron left the secret room, guards from the manor came to inform him:
"My lord, Lady Nika requests that you attend the meeting after you emerge from seclusion..."
It seems there is something so important that the lord needs to make a decision.
Ron said, "Let's go! I'd like to have a little meeting myself."
The resurrection spell has been developed, and some details of the plan have been changed, etc.
After a while, Ron arrived at the wartime command center of the floating city, led by the guards.
Inside this castle-like building, Nika is presiding over an important meeting.
On the way here, Ron could sense ripples in the protective barrier of the floating city from time to time. A few demon attacks were still landing on the barrier, indicating that the defenses of the outer legions were not adequate. It seemed that being such a large target made protection quite difficult...
Along the way, Ron also learned about the behavior of the people in the floating city, and he could give Nika and the others a score based on their performance.
Before the meeting, all of Ron's observations were necessary, and he was constantly paying attention to adjust the plan in order to reduce the possibility of the plan going off track.
Inside the meeting room.
There were dozens of people, many of whom were assistants to important figures, such as the fox-people assistants standing behind Nika.
Besides Nika, who was present, other important figures in the war management team included Wright, three legion commanders, and several other commanders who were presumably overseeing defensive operations. Two bishops from the church were also present, each corresponding to one of Ron's two superiors…
This was a war council meeting; the other stewards were not present.
With Ron's arrival, the meeting fell silent until he took his seat at the head of the table. Nika then received the documents from her fox-woman assistant and reported to Lord Ron on the recent battle situation and the agenda for this meeting…
Nika's assistant, the fox spirit, has been replaced. It's not the same person she was chosen back then. It seems that it's indeed difficult to break through to the Master Realm. Many years later, Nika's assistant from back then has long since grown old.
Ron paid attention to the details in the conference room, while also listening to Nika's account.
The topic of this discussion is: whether Sandy Territory should participate in assisting the Baron Swordsman Empire and responding to the war within its territory.
An Empire-level entity would not normally be able to receive assistance from a small Earl's territory, but now it is a split Empire-level entity, while my Sandy territory is an Earl's territory with two major religions.
Now that Ron has emerged from seclusion, it is naturally up to him to make the important decisions.
After analyzing the situation, Ron said, "We can provide assistance, but primarily in the form of technology. It just so happens that our lord has developed resurrection magic, and along with the resurrection spell, we will also share other advanced magical warfare technologies with the Baron Empire."
"I'm taking the aid this time, and I'll allocate more priests to them. I imagine there will be many wounded in the Baron Empire. You two bishops can make the arrangements!"
The two elderly bishops present stood up and bowed: "As His Holiness the Pope commands!"
Upon hearing about the resurrection spell, Nika and the others were not as shocked as they had imagined. Thanks to the effective work of their intelligence network, Sandy Territory was among the first to learn of the changes in the North. With the complete return of the World Tree, the corresponding resurrection spell would inevitably emerge sooner or later.
What is truly astonishing is that the Cult of Life has yet to develop a resurrection spell, while the Lord has succeeded first.
The true ancient resurrection is related to the secrets of time and space. Ron and Vivian certainly have the advantage of developing resurrection magic. Those present will soon understand the key points after some thought.
Nika inquired about the details of Ron's resurrection spell on behalf of everyone present: "Regarding the resurrection spell, Lord..."
Ron said, "This is a resurrection scroll. See if you can make a large number of copies as soon as possible, and arrange the candidates for resurrection spell training, as well as the restrictions on resurrection..."
During the long conversation, Ron took out the finished scroll. The scroll was made using a special powder—shattered spacetime illusion stone—mixed with mithril liquid…
Nika, a master-level expert, had excellent eyesight and quickly understood the difficulty in replicating resurrection items: "My lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult to replicate them in large quantities in a short time; we will need some time to adjust..."
It will take time, but once it can be mass-produced in the future, that will be enough.
Ron said, "Let's hurry."
"This is a detailed illusory record of the resurrection spell."
Nika took it again and said, "Understood, my lord. Nika will arrange the selection as soon as possible."
The specific magical artifacts used for replication need to be technically adjusted, but the candidates for learning can be selected immediately. Nika, who has received the resurrection spell illusion record, has already assigned the first batch of learners in her mind.
The technology related to illusions has already been mastered. Ron added, "First, copy the illusion records and distribute them to our people as soon as possible. While aiding the Balen Empire, inform the other empires and kingdoms about the resurrection spell through a magic report, so that they can send people to our territory to collect it themselves. Inform them of our territory's attitude towards aiding the Balen Empire."
Both the official selection of personnel for war needs and the selection based on the interests of the civilian population should be done as quickly as possible.
By informing the empires and kingdoms, the dangers on the road are borne by them. Unfortunately, the current magic reporting technology is still lacking. The tone and speed of the incantation are different from other spells, and there are also requirements for the precision of the magic circle, etc.
Let the various empires and kingdoms retrieve the phantom records themselves, except for the Baron Empire. My territory also has priests and others to assist us, so someone has to go to the Baron Empire.
Nika immediately handed the record to her assistant behind her, gave her a few instructions, and the assistant bowed and withdrew.
Seeing that Nika had already made the arrangements, Ron continued, "Regarding the technological iteration of the Magic Report, Nika, please inform them to expedite the research, as there will likely be more technical exchanges needed in the future."
As the first year of catastrophe progressed, the laws of the world changed, and correspondingly, extraordinary magic and combat techniques also evolved...
“My lord, shall we summon the head of the research and development department?” Nika asked.
Ron pondered whether to extend the meeting time after the war situation was rescheduled, since one of the original issues had already been resolved.
“No need, you can inform us later.” After saying that, Ron continued, “In future battles, commanders and bishops, you need to appropriately arrange for legendary seeds to undergo legion training, and the intensity of the training should be…”
Because of the resurrection spell, the sacrificial tactics based on magic weapons need to be adjusted, and the intensity of the training needs to be increased. Legendary seeds, you will face a situation where there is no chance of survival. If you do not have the mental strength to break through in battle, then you will die. Anyway, there is resurrection. At worst, the seed talents will be resurrected and fight again.
The potential squeezed between life and death, and the improvement in spiritual strength, means that the mental power is more refined, increasing the possibility of breaking through to the legendary level.
Those fortunate enough to survive and demonstrate their potential will be given physical enhancements such as magical potions, and a periodic training program will be implemented to cultivate their combat skills...
"..."
"..."
This was another long conversation. The three commanders and two bishops raised some detailed difficulties, such as what to do if legendary seed talents couldn't be resurrected? And how exactly should the seed talents for their respective territories be determined? The commanders and bishops disagreed on the selection of legendary seed talents, and even the commanders themselves wanted to try the seed talent plan… The issue of post-war resource distribution through experience…
Back then, when Ron was around a hundred years old in the Source of Law, he already had the idea of breaking through to the Legendary level. However, due to Ron's spatial Legendary path, his personal journey would actually take longer.
The requirements for a breakthrough towards a space legend are too high…
Nearly eighty years later, the original batch of people who received the Dharma Source Transmission are about to reach the point where they can try to break through to the legendary level. Because of their experience in inheriting the legacy of epic figures, their success rate should be slightly higher.
Originally, only one or two people were selected from the top 100 masters, but now it is estimated that only a dozen or so will be selected from the top 100.
It should be noted that only a small percentage of ordinary people can reach the Master level, and even fewer Master-level experts can advance to the pinnacle of the Master level without being blocked, attempting to become legendary.
From a small number to an even smaller number, from one or two percent to now more than ten percent of success rate!
The Seed Talent Program only provides sufficient breakthrough resources to those with near-legendary mental strength, which should increase the success rate of Seed Talents achieving legendary status.
Currently, people rely more on official resource supplies because of the large number of demons; even those at the peak of the Master realm find it difficult to go out.
Ron has personally verified that the stronger one's mental strength, the stronger one's ability to control elements and reorganize the soul to adapt to the laws. I don't expect everyone to have Ron's situation, but let's all strive to get close!
"Regarding the arrangements for the war training in my territory, Nika, you should instruct someone to send a message to all empires and kingdoms through the magic bulletin board, welcoming the legendary talents of all empires and kingdoms to come to my territory to participate in the war training."
Another message from my territory, sent by the Demon Lord, informed the Church of Life: "If your church encounters any difficulties in the research and development of the divine spell for resurrection, you may send someone to my territory, Sandy..."
"..."
"..."
After arranging the details of the meeting, Ron finally said, "Alright, you can discuss the rest. I'll head back now."
Everyone stood up and bowed, and the assistants who were already standing also quickly bowed, until Lord Ron, His Holiness the Pope, and Vivian left the meeting room.
Inside the new lord's manor.
Ron pondered another question: why was the main target of the demons' attack the Baron Swordsman Empire, considering the fate of the old orc empire?
Oh, I understand now!
It is likely due to the different development of magic. Because of the more in-depth development of magic, there is naturally less need for legendaries in wartime. The old orc empire and the Baron swordsman empire both had insufficient development of magic, and the enemy was the first to discover the characteristics of the local legendary combat forces.
Looking back many years ago, when I passed through the Baron Empire, the Baron Empire didn't pay enough attention to the development of magic.
If I, Ron, were a demon king and a demon god, I would prioritize attacking locations with ample intelligence.
That's...very likely.
Where are the guards?
"What are your orders, my lord?"
“Go to the magic information room and tell them to spread this lord's decree. It should be sent to all contact points.”
"Yes, my lord."
It's likely that not only Ron could have thought of this, but the other kingdom war analysts should have as well. They probably weren't too sure, since the Lord's order included words like "maybe" and "probably," and the other powerful figures who received the notification would make appropriate arrangements.
It is conceivable that in future wars, legendary and above powerhouses in various regions will refrain from taking action if possible, since they do not want their regions to become the main target of the demon gods' attacks.
This perfectly corresponds to the life-or-death ordeal of the current Seed Talent Program.
What's the point of saying it? My territory is one of the deepest-rooted areas in terms of magical development. Talking about this intelligence analysis result first will actually give people a good impression beforehand. Hopefully, the demons will launch their main attack on my Sandy territory last. Let's hope so!
Next, let's wait and see if the talented individuals across the continent live up to expectations before proceeding to the next step.
