He released information to recruit mages while issuing some tasks, mainly for the partial design of the Mage Tower network.

This was not something he could handle alone; moreover, once successfully established, the greatest benefit would be to enhance the territory’s defensive power, though Zhao Guang didn’t place much importance on that aspect.

What he valued more was how much easier it would be to cultivate mages in his territory once many Mage Towers were interconnected.

Thinking about the countless minions working for him in the future, Zhao Guang was thrilled.

When numerous mages would assist in his research, his progress would undoubtedly climb to a new level.

At the Great Mage tier, the magic is very special.

It requires not just a vast amount of basic research but also a wide range of knowledge for interdisciplinary insights.

Creating new Super Magic from scratch in the future will not be as easy as before.

Moreover, many magic spells require a significant number of high-level items to materialize; otherwise, it’s simply impossible to complete them.

It’s not that one couldn’t release them without completed Magic Runes,

but that would take longer, and the Magic Materials consumed would be quite valuable, not to mention used up with each spell.

After issuing the tasks, Zhao Guang had just returned when he ran into Coscola.

This guy wouldn’t show up here if there was nothing important.

“Master, the selection for the people you wanted to recruit has been completed.”

“They’ve been selected?

Let’s go take a look,” Zhao Guang stood up and left.

Originally, it would have been best for Coscola to lead this team, but unfortunately, he was preoccupied with more important matters.

Moreover, Coscola had already changed his Combat Energy once, and it wasn’t of the Light Attribute.

Another change might lead to his collapse or even to being stuck without progress forever, so Zhao Guang had to select from these people.

Whoever trained the best and was the most capable in the future would become the team leader.

“These are the people, the very best of the bunch,”

Coscola pointed to the people on the square from a distance.

Clearly, these individuals were young but very fit.

The subjects responded eagerly to the conditions Zhao Guang had set out.

To his own surprise, a massive number of people signed up, resulting in over one hundred thousand passing the initial test.

This sequence of events boggled Zhao Guang’s mind; after all, this team was meant to be an elite squad, and he couldn’t afford to maintain such numbers.

Not to mention the training; the Red Blood Potions required for Combat Energy cultivation weren’t nearly enough.

Thus, with no choice, Zhao Guang eventually stipulated an allocation—just one hundred people, initially.

Over this period, Coscola had been busy with this task.

After several days of selection processes and various tests, the cream of the crop was finally chosen, amounting to barely a hundred individuals.

Of course, if it weren’t for Zhao Guang’s stipulation that candidates should have no prior Combat Energy training, those present might have been even stronger.

Even so, each was nearly at the standard for generating Combat Energy.

Next, by switching to a new Breathing Technique, it would only take a few days to become Junior Warriors.

“What about the others that were filtered out?”

“I plan to train them as a reserve force, and given some time to develop, they will certainly become a new source of strength for our territory’s army,”

remarked Coscola, who thought highly of these people.

In fact, the combined forces of the Xuanwu Territory had already surpassed fifty thousand.

This was due to Zhao Guang’s preference for elite troops; otherwise, the number would have increased several-fold.

Yet so many were still insufficient for today’s vast territory.

Thus, many suitable individuals were still in training.

Others, less suited, were dispersed across various regions, either becoming part of the local security forces or militias.

Zhao Guang had implemented these systems one by one, fully utilizing them.

Initially, Coscola had overlooked people due to their age, but now he had realized there was such a group and naturally paid them close attention, even coveting their potential.

“Like this, keep the best batch, a thousand people, to serve as reserves for the Holy Flame Army.

Arrange the rest as you see fit,”

said Zhao Guang.

“Holy Flame Army?” Coscola was sure he was hearing this name for the first time.

Zhao Guang didn’t hide anything: “That’s the legion I intend to establish this time; in fact, it’s basically my Guards, but they might also participate in various other tasks in the future.”

His own strength was considerable; he didn’t need that many people to protect him.

Initially, the desire to establish this army stemmed from the lack of talent in healing within his ranks.

On the battlefield, Magic Potions sometimes didn’t have sufficient effect, and his Rabbitfolk Druids were not cut out for combat.

They were better at making potions and farming, and Zhao Guang did not intend to send them to war.

Therefore, this Light Attribute troops were unique; they would play a significant healing role.

Besides, his greatest adversaries now were the Undead, and a Light Attribute army would be a considerable deterrent to them, as Undead feared the Light Attribute.

Maybe the legion he was forming would one day surpass the Temple’s Holy Knight Team.

After giving instructions, Zhao Guang arrived in front of the selected individuals with Coscola.

Thinking for a moment, Zhao Guang spoke loudly, “You all know who I am, right?

I’ve told you that I would offer you the best treatment, and I wasn’t lying…” Zhao Guang began his speech.

The core of it was still the carrot and the stick—this strategy worked exceptionally well.

Even though he had signed a contract with all of them, whether they were internally motivated was another matter.

After getting everyone’s blood boiling, Zhao Guang then distributed the new Breathing Technique and provided abundant resources for cultivation.

“For the next while, you will undergo closed cultivation in this place.”

Zhao Guang turned to Coscola, who looked on with envy, and said, “Have Kala come over as their instructor for this period.”

Karan hadn’t signed a contract with him, but that was fine, as he wasn’t going to share the Cultivation Method with him.

However, when it came to training, Karan was even better than Coscola.

That was Karan’s talent.

After speaking, Zhao Guang left.

Once these individuals advanced to Junior Warrior status, he would teach them a simplified version of Dawn Swordsmanship.

Indeed, Zhao Guang decided to use Dawn Swordsmanship as their core training content.

Dawn Combat Energy combined with the simplified Dawn Swordsmanship—if even one of them were sent out alone, they would be formidable.

Beyond that, what they needed was a Lifebound Battle Skill, which apparently required further refinement.

It had to be scalable for mass distribution, powerful, suitable for both army use and solo combat.

It looked like he was going to be busy for a while.
