Chapter 311: Chapter 203 Holy Dragon Builds an Army, 3 Major Battle Groups_2

The ancient ruins, the unknown inheritance, the number of powerful beings within may not be much less than in the civilized world, and there will even be rather formidable monster nations.

Noah was once taken on a journey by his foster father Casius, only to search for giant servants, and encountered a legendary Spirit of Nature that had been asleep for hundreds of years.

This event left a lasting impression on Noah, because in terms of sheer size, he still falls slightly short of that ancient serpent and will need a few more years to surpass it.

"Are you interested in taking on the role of legion leader?"

The idea that had emerged earlier can now be put into practice. Initially, Noah was only planning to expand a few legions to provide idle fairies with something to do, but now there is a way to put the military to use.

Under Noah’s command, there isn’t any decent combat unit, the only exception being the legion composed of Cloud Giants.

However, this legion only appears when Noah needs it, and when Noah has no use for it, this legion disbands.

The Cloud Giants return to their homes to engage in their interests and professions, enjoying their own lives. In other words, Noah has no professional soldiers under his command, no genuine combat units.

Because it was unnecessary before, if Noah wanted to use troops, he could summon the adult Cloud Giants from his command to form a legion, and borrow a few knight orders from the Augustus family, which was generally sufficient.

But times have changed; foster father Casius is no longer present, and Tidel’s era of rule has ended. Now, his descendant Uranos is about to ascend to power.

Thinking of casually borrowing the Augustus family’s knight orders as if it were nothing is likely no longer possible.

Training career-focused soldiers and building his own combat legions is a must; how could a qualified lord not have his own force of arms?

"Your will is my direction!"

This was Sifreya’s response to Noah. This usually dignified and composed Dragon Fairy now had eyes emitting unprecedented brilliance, turning into dazzling golden pupils.

Army building order!

This was the first order issued after Noah’s territorial expansion.

According to his first Dragon Fairy, Executive Officer Sifreya, this army building order was mainly intended to consume production capacity from the expanded magic statue production line, providing places for the many fairies, and to better stabilize and maintain territorial order.

"Wow, building three combat legions at once, which one should we join?"

In various fairy gatherings in the Elidis Mountains, the newly issued recruitment decree attracted the attention of many fairies. They gathered before the bulletin board, carefully reading the information, their expressions gradually turning excited.

"Holy Dragon Blade, Holy Dragon’s Heart, Holy Dragon Shield, is there any difference between these three battle corps?"

"You see, the legion leaders for these three battle corps are Sifreya, Lu Tixiya, and Elfino respectively, there should be no difference."

"But the entry requirements are so high, just participating in the selection requires Radiant Gold Level mana, and my mana will take another ten years to reach that level."

"But the benefits after being selected are excellent; at least you can get a Steel Magic Statue!"

"Steel Mecha, I really want a magic statue, can’t the recruitment requirements be lowered a bit?"

"Who told you to be lazy? I’ve reached it long ago."

"Even if you’ve reached it, you only qualify for the selection, not a direct entry; what’s so great about that, huh!"

"Wait until I’m selected and driving a Steel Magic Statue, then let’s see if you can still talk like that."

"Pfft, you’re dreaming, each legion only has sixty spots, and there are hundreds of fairies who qualify, what makes you think you can get in?"

"What if I do get selected?"

"I’ll kneel and call you mom!"

"Alright, this daughter I’m determined to have."

The formation and recruitment of the fairy battle corps sparked a huge reaction among the fairy community.

Although the number of fairies eligible to participate was not even eight hundred, the battle corps had even fewer spots.

Because fairies, as fairy-like beings, have a race property of being extremely fragile, putting them in battles requires strong protection. Therefore, Noah deemed it necessary for each fairy to have at least a Steel Magic Statue.

Fairies trade their physical fragility for powerful elemental affinity spell-casting power, then combine that with the near-impenetrable defense of the Steel Magic Statue against creatures of the same level.

Noah believes that such a battle corps is enough to dominate normal battlefields, and if numerous enough, might be able to challenge stronger creatures beyond their ranks.

"Quality over quantity, standards must not be lowered. You don’t have to fill all the spots now; there’s no external challenge, and you have enough time to train warriors."

A million little fairies, even choosing one in a hundred, could yield over ten thousand great fairies, whose upper limit is generally Radiant Gold.

As long as the great fairies are willing, with the passage of time, the mana they accumulate can generally reach that level, but as for higher realm powers, that has nothing to do with effort and sweat.

However, although there are many great fairies, those who have truly reached their current form’s limit number less than a thousand. And what Noah currently needs is warriors who can fight and endure, ready to charge on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, most of the great fairies whose mana meets the standard don’t meet the warrior standard. Their prior life was simply too pampered.

Frankly speaking, the fairies under Noah are mostly delicate noble ladies, where "delicate" means they cannot endure high pressure, high-risk war environments; their mental and emotional resilience is insufficient for harsh circumstances.

"As you wish, only true warriors may join the battle corps!"

The three fairy leaders naturally agreed with Noah’s demands.

Although a large part of their achievements involves luck, one cannot ignore their personal efforts and struggles. Similarly, back in their days, they suffered and toiled, getting through everything bit by bit, unlike the current comfort of the fairies.

"Today’s fairies are really too weak, can’t bear any hardship!"

"Exactly, unlike our times, we didn’t have such good conditions back then."

"In my day, if I had the chance to have a Steel Magic Statue, even if it cost me half my life, I’d have done it. Now these weaklings, a little scratch and they start crying, wanting to quit."

"We can’t let such weaklings into the battle corps; it’s a disgrace to fairies. His Majesty needs real fairy warriors to serve him!"

"Although His Majesty allows not having to fill all the spots, not having even half filled now is really embarrassing."

"Better embarrassed now than to suffer a crushing defeat on the battlefield in the future."

"This generation of fairies is a lost cause!"

"Each generation worse than the last."

The difficulty of forming a legion centered around fairies was a bit beyond Noah’s expectations, making him reconsider whether there was an issue with his thinking.

Just as Noah was considering whether to adjust the army-building plan, a message came from the capital, which by this time, had swept across the Atlas Kingdom like a hurricane, known throughout the country.

Uranos had successfully advanced to become a legend, becoming the third member of the Augustus family, or more accurately, the second to possess the Titan Bloodline, given that Tidel’s promotion was somewhat unspeakable.

"His advancement speed was quicker than I anticipated, truly not letting his innate bloodline go to waste."

Noah calculated a bit; Uranos is not yet fifty, vastly superior to his father, though of course, there’s no comparing him to his grandfather.
