The flame storm deals 300+ (147+125)*3 magic damage per second to enemies within its range, lasting for 30 seconds, consumes 1200 points of Spiritual Energy Value. Cooldown time 30 minutes]

The data is very frightening, especially the last spell, Flame Storm, which can summon a tornado-like flame storm to rampage on the battlefield, directly consuming 1200 points of spiritual energy, an unprecedented consumption.

Also, his skill, Crimson Sword, somewhat mirrors Lin Rui’s frost aura.

He uses Flame Beam for stun control, followed by Flaming Skull, Crimson Sword, and Fireball Skill for a burst combo, with substantial damage output.

With the addition of this Tier Three Mage, the size of the territory’s mage corps has expanded again, including Audrey’s summoned creature, the Black Mage Hei Qi. The territory now has four powerful long-range attackers and two supportive magic outputs.

To be fair, a military unit with six mages, half a small platoon, has a quite impressive mage corps scale.

The Divine Archer Fengyang appeared more reserved. Lin Rui greeted him amicably and then introduced him: "The territory has a Black Guard Army camp that can elevate your strength to Tier Two Elite. I plan to let you enter the camp for retraining. Do you have any objections?"

Fengyang immediately clutched his chest with his hand in salute and said respectfully, "Lord, I am an imperial soldier, bound to obedience as my duty, and I accept all arrangements of the territory."

Lin Rui’s eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Your salute is commendable, with a strong military demeanor of the empire."

This is the one in the territory who most looks like a soldier, with a military majesty and a forbidding aura.

Not like this very vibrant mage Schwartz, who made quite a commotion upon awakening.

So Lin Rui decided to personally take Fengyang to the Black Banner Guard camp for reassignment.

The Black Guard camp was built with imposing grandeur, with black banners symbolizing the imperial guard’s majesty erected on either side of the camp, and in the middle was the family flag of the Golden Pansy Clan, with a blue background and golden emblem. Rows of banners fluttered in the air, signifying the family’s majesty and sanctity.

After sending Fengyang into the camp, Lin Rui asked Audrey, who was accompanying him, "Why do I feel like I’m forgetting something?"

Audrey excitedly stood in front of Lin Rui, looked up at him, and asked, "Lord, with your wisdom, can you forget something?"

Lin Rui said with a smile, "I’m not a machine. It’s normal to forget something."

"Let me tell you, I’m an expert in this area. Do you want me to share my experiences on how to recall forgotten things?"

"That’s not necessary. I just remembered. Go to the ruins, there are two Tomb Evil Ghosts you left behind, and bring the captives over."

Audrey cheered with joy and said, "Oh, right. There are still two soldiers I left behind to guard the ruins gate. I’ll bring them back into the army now."

Soon thirty-four captives were brought before Lin Rui, and these people were even more excited to see Lin Rui than their own fathers, each one crying with excitement.

"Lord, finally seeing you, I almost thought I would be trapped to death in that void rift."

"Heavens, the chaos aura has started to spread there again. It scared me to death. I thought I would face the chaos invasion directly."

"Lord, we beg you, let us join your territory. Don’t lock us back up."

Lin Rui was surprised, not expecting the ruins to have this effect. They just locked them up for three days, and they were already crying like this.

In the future, as long as captives are caught everywhere and locked in the ruins, the territory’s population can rapidly increase.

These people are from the Scavenger Camp, with strength varying greatly, some just a bit stronger than ordinary civilians, and some with Tier One or Tier Two strength.

Three people were Tier Two in strength, and Lin Rui sent them all to the Black Guard Army camp.

The remaining five Tier One scavengers, Lin Rui hadn’t decided what to do with them yet when Civil Servant Soro approached him and said, "Lord, last night, Violet cleared monsters and saved seven humans, five of which were farmers, one was a Tier Two soldier, and one a Tier One soldier. What do you propose we do?"

The Tier Two soldier was a Tier Two Ordinary Level swordsman, with rather average traits, except she was notably a young lady. Lin Rui also sent her into the camp to transition to the Black Banner Guard.

Regarding the remaining six Tier One soldiers, Lin Rui thought for a moment and said to Soro, "Go ahead and construct the building plan for the ’Imperial Territory Military Camp.’"

"Imperial Territory Military Camp" is an item Lin Rui obtained from opening a large number of treasure chests previously. It is a generic building plan, which means it can be constructed in various territories.

It costs 500 Realm Coins, 500 iron ores, and 1 Tier One Spiritual Gem to train residents with good or above talent into ordinary talent Tier One level 1 ’Imperial Manor Guards.’

Lin Rui instructed, "First, assemble two squads of Imperial Manor Guards and hand them over to Commander Terion. Let him take these Tier One soldiers and manor guards to train through combat, break through to Tier Two, and then come back and train into Black Banner Guard."

It’s generally difficult for ordinary people to break through to Tier Two, but the territory’s heroic commander units are vastly superior to ordinary units, so breaking through isn’t difficult.

The territory has the trait of being the Land of Martial Valor. Not forming its own soldier promotion system would be a waste of innate traits.

Soro immediately bowed, saying, "I will comply with your will, my esteemed Lord."

Soro hadn’t been gone long when the Black Banner Guard camp door opened, and five robust soldiers marched out with lively strides.
