Summoned into a Magical World at Max Level - Chapter 32

“Yes!”

Upon hearing that she could learn a new spell, her excitement won out over her fear.

Trish nodded heavily, her eyes filled with anticipation.

“Watch carefully!”

Rennes then patiently taught her how to cast the spell.

After a period of learning, Trish tried to use the magic power in her body to activate the spell.

She tried many times.

On her most successful attempt, Trish flew more than two meters into the air, causing snow to fall in a radius of four meters around her.

And the higher she flew, the harder she fell. Trish crashed onto the snowy ground.

Rennes estimated that with Trish’s rather decent talent, it would take her three to four days to comprehend this spell.

Together with other offensive and defensive spells, Rennes would probably be teaching her for more than a month.

Learning magic was a tedious process.

As someone who had learned more than a thousand spells, Rennes’ talent might be even higher than that of Volibear, the God of Creation of this world.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The New Year was less than twenty days away.

This world celebrated the New Year too. On this day, everyone would put down the work in their hands and celebrate.

Even countries that were at war would have a truce on New Year’s day.

The people would rest and visit their families and friends. They would say their blessings to each other and immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere.

This year’s New Year was destined to be a very special day for the Noah Kingdom.

The enlistment drive across the kingdom had already concluded.

Rennes had built several new military camps in a few strategic locations in the kingdom to accommodate the large influx of troops.

He planned to bring some of the advanced military practices from his previous life into this world.

For example, uniforms and other rules.

Although it did not sound that important, because this was a magical world, many countries were actually more lenient towards the mages.

The rules for mages were not that strict. Mages were the main combat forces in war, but they were not as orderly and disciplined as ordinary soldiers.

Because of the existence of magic power, the military training in this world were also different from the military training in his previous life.

For example, the main training courses consisted of things like learning magic extraction and learning magic skills, rather than physical training or shooting training like in the military in his previous life.

Rennes only emphasized one thing, and that was discipline!

He wanted a disciplined army, not a simple organization of mages.

And he wanted this army to be completely loyal to him. Wherever he pointed, they would advance, invincible and unstoppable!

Rennes had also established a special unit independent of the four regular armies in the four war zones of east, west, south, and north.

He called this unit the Sharp Blade Unit.

At the moment, on a training field in the outskirts of the capital.

Rennes stood on a high platform overlooking a thousand people that had been carefully selected.

All 1,000 people were dressed in neat uniforms that had a white cape on the back.

If one were to look carefully, one would see an insignia on the cape depicting fire and lightning crossing each other.

This was the emblem of the division, signifying that they were as passionate as fire and as fast as lightning.

Every 100 people were in a square formation, for a total of 10 square formations. Standing on the high platform and looking down, it was quite the spectacular sight.

If one were to observe their height, one would notice that none of them were shorter than 1.8 meters. Moreover, they were really muscular, giving off a vibe akin to a blazing sun.

These 1000 people who had been carefully selected were naturally not that ordinary.

In Rennes’ plan, these 1000 people would go through a round of cruel elimination.

In the end, the few hundred people who passed would learn the best magic extraction techniques and the best magic skills.

Rennes’ passionate speech resounded throughout the entire training ground.

These 1000 people were all hot-blooded men.

After he concluded his speech, all the young men felt blood rushing to their head. They all became really excited.

Everyone stared at the man on the high platform.

At this moment, in everyone’s eyes, this man was a god, and he was as dazzling as the sun.

A full minute after the speech, not a single person had left.

In other words, all of them were willing to sacrifice their lives for the kingdom.

In order for this unit to develop combat strength as quickly as possible so that they could grow into the kingdom’s most elite force, they had to fight battles of life and death. This was the fastest way to make them improve.

This was also a test of Rennes’ method. He wanted to see if such a cruel method could be carried out in the Noah Kingdom.

And now, such an opportunity had presented itself.

In the past few days, the border camp had sent back a lot of news.

After many sacrifices, they had finally figured out the composition and strength of the assassination unit that had been murdering their troops.

According to the information from the border camp, this unit only consisted of two hundred people, but their combat strength was formidable.

They were all as strong as mage apprentices and mages, although they were not proficient in magic.

Instead, they were very proficient in assassination techniques. They were a special unit that were formed for the purpose of carrying out assassinations.

The kingdom’s border patrol team planned to fight them openly.

And the thousand-man Sharp Blade Unit would launch an encirclement operation in secret.

The new recruits would have their virgin battle.

Rennes knew very well that even if they managed to win this battle, there would be a huge number of sacrifices.

Of those 1000 people, the number of people who would come back alive would probably not exceed five hundred.

But Rennes was not hoping for much. He would be satisfied if there were three to five hundred people remaining.

Soldiers who had killed people before and had been baptized by war were completely different creatures to mages who had only stayed at home to study magic.

Thus, a week later, after some training and some lessons in military skills, the unit secretly rushed toward the eastern border of the kingdom in a scattered manner.

..

The eastern border of the Noah Kingdom.

Following the repeated discovery of a large number of soldiers corpses, the patrol route had become a path of death.

At the moment, inside the border camp, the commander-in-chief, Neo, was waiting in the military tent as usual.

He was waiting for the latest casualty report after the soldiers and the assassination unit had clashed again.

What was different was that his eyes were no longer filled with pain like they were half a month ago.

He had already received news regarding the Sharp Blade Unit. He was the only one in the entire camp who knew about it.

Now, there was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

At the same time, at the border, a small team of soldiers trekked through the thick snow. Their eyes were fierce as they surveyed their surroundings vigilantly.

“The kingdom has been recruiting soldiers en masse recently. The ministers in the capital must have heard about what’s happening here!”

“In other words, it won’t be long before a mage army will come and crush those rats hiding in the shadows?”

“That’s right. So, as long as we persevere, victory is definitely ours!”

…

A few people who were walking at the back of the team formation huddled together and exchanged a few words because the weather was so cold.

At the same time, in the snowy ground behind them, several pairs of pitch-black eyes locked onto them.
