He planned to use only seventy percent of the resources for serious matters such as military construction, while the remaining thirty percent was secretly intended to be transported to his home in the Salted Fish Territory. He understood a crucial principle: one should never place all their hopes on a single tree. If, in the future, the war turned unfavorable and he encountered a formidable enemy he could not resist, he could easily slip away and escape his homeland. In this way, these supplies would undoubtedly become his last lifeline, providing him with an escape route.
As days passed, positions in the military camp were sold off by John, and these transactions filled both him and his subordinates' pockets. With these resources, Annie and Master managed to expand their ranks by three thousand soldiers and even trained three Half-Step Transcendent Cavalry units, conquering several neighboring territories along the way. As for the nobles of those annexed lands, seeing that John was favored by the king and had numerous beneficial alliances, they wisely kept quiet while taking substantial resources for themselves.
The speed of development directly encircled Redman’s territory. If it weren't for Redman being Annie's brother, John's brother-in-law would probably have trouble even stepping out of his own land.
Finally, the day arrived that John had agreed upon with King Napoleon. The sun shone down on the earth, casting a golden hue everywhere. John led an army of one hundred thousand that had gathered outside Yuan Jie in a grand display, with banners flying and a powerful momentum akin to a surging tide as they advanced toward the mysterious Magic Tower.
Seated in a luxurious carriage, John gazed ahead at the gradually becoming clearer Magic Tower. As they drew closer, an indescribable excitement surged within him, as if he was about to unveil the deeply hidden truths of this world. This Magic Tower was precisely the place he had longed to approach.
Meanwhile, in a distant territory, Iman—despite being a naturally gifted Druid—had only been inching closer to the Transcendent Realm over ten years. Even more regrettably, knowledge transfer proved to be fraught with difficulties for her. At that moment, John recalled Redman's words: those so-called Wild Mages were not particularly useful. Only those orthodox wizards belonging to the Magic Tower could truly be called Masters!
As John led his vast army to the Magic Tower, he was instantly awestruck by the magnificent structure before him. Initially appearing modest from afar, once they entered the courtyard, John was astonished to discover that what seemed like a small area from outside opened up into an expansive and boundless realm within—a peculiar sight as if it formed an independent little world.
John's eyes widened as one thought raced through his mind: Could this be the legendary Spatial Magic? He could hardly believe what he saw; this power was far too mysterious. No wonder knights were not comparable to mages; witnessing this alone was beyond what knights could achieve.
Just as John remained immersed in deep shock, a figure suddenly appeared above them like a specter, hovering steadily in mid-air. Clad in an elegant black-gray robe that billowed gently in the wind, the figure held tightly onto a staff intricately carved with dragon and phoenix designs that emitted waves of strange light. What astonished everyone even more was that low murmurs continuously flowed from this person’s lips; unfortunately, none of the languages used were comprehensible to John.
With each incantation spoken by this figure, brilliant beams of light struck around them like lightning. As incomprehensible spells were recited one after another, dazzling lights emerged and intertwined together, forming an impenetrable web of light that swiftly enveloped everyone present.
When the final beam of light crashed down, John felt a powerful tremor spread throughout his body as if his very soul were about to be shaken out of him. Then he horrifiedly realized that both he and all the soldiers beside him were gradually becoming ethereal, as if they might vanish into thin air at any moment.
