Chapter 467: Promotion Legend
On the Red Moon plane, as the Haaland Territory invests more and more power, the territory under its control is getting bigger and bigger. Last year alone, the elite of the Haaland Leader transferred to the Red Moon Plane was as high as 8,000 people, and after more than three years, the Haaland Leader intermittently transferred 18,000 elite soldiers from the Dawn Plane.
In addition, last year, Richard also recruited a full 10,000 people on the Red Moon plane.
In the year 3280 of the Dawn calendar, Haaland led 40,000 soldiers on the Red Moon plane.
The number of troops has increased to 40,000 people, and the transfer of territory with the Divine Radiance Empire will naturally continue.
After several territorial transfers, the territory controlled by Haaland has reached 460,000 square kilometers. It's just that most of this part of the land is on the front line, and the actual population under its jurisdiction is not large, adding up to only about 2 million people.
However, relying on potions to pass this level will affect the mage's own perception and affect the mage's manipulation of subtle energy. The reason why legendary mages are far superior to ordinary mages is that they have a more subtle manipulation of energy.

Ordinary knights and warriors mainly transform the physical body, while legendary magicians mainly transform the spiritual space and soul.
It's a pity that there are gods in the Dawn plane, and extraordinary power is the core. Although the Harland Leader started the Industrial Revolution, his supernatural strength was insufficient, and he could only bully and bully the surrounding kingdoms. There is no comparison with the Divine Radiance Empire.
This state can be said to be worse than death, and it is difficult for ordinary people to adapt.
With an income of 8 million gold coins, the first task of the realm is still to expand the army. In the whole of last year alone, Haaland's leadership was expanded by a total of 30,000 troops, and the total number of troops has reached 220,000.
Once the territory is handed over, the Haaland Territory is considered complete, and Emperor Edward will carry a crown on Richard's head.
In addition to tax revenues, Haaland owns a large number of state-owned enterprises, which turn in a large amount of profits every year.
In the Grant Kingdom, the average yield of wheat per mu is only one hundred and thirty or forty catties.
After all, the Heihe River has been unnavigable since August because of the backtracking of the spawning of the snow crystal fish, and after the snow crystal fish spawns, it will be frozen in late November until March of the following year.
With the increase in armaments, the combat effectiveness of Haaland's army has once again increased significantly.
So after he had a deep conversation with Sophia, he decided to let Sophia wait a little longer, so that he could explore the experience first and break through the legendary realm.
Of the total population of 14 million, the vassals had about 1.1 million people, and the population directly under the Haaland Lords was less than 13 million.
Mages who use potions to help are not as strong as they used to resist the tyranny of the past.
According to the statistics of the civil affairs department of the Harland Territory, due to the war last winter, the population of the Haaland Territory exceeded 400,000, and the local fertility rate was relatively high, as of January this year, the total population of the Haaland Territory exceeded 14 million.
Relying on 11 million freemen, last year's agricultural tax was as high as 3.8 million, plus other taxes such as commercial taxes, customs duties, property taxes, etc., Haaland's tax revenue was as high as 5.36 million.
Outside the Gathering Magic Array, dozens of magicians were anxiously waiting.
Richard entered deep meditation, and strange energy entered his soul, turning into a variety of magical energy particles, pouring into Richard's spiritual power space. In his spiritual power space, a special magic circle had already been engraved. After all kinds of magic energy particles entered the magic circle, they turned into trickles.
This year, Haaland decided to focus on the development of the eastern coast provinces, and moved 130,000 people to the east coast provinces, and the logistics supply mainly relied on this railway line.
When magic energy particles transform the soul, they will bring very serious pain, this pain is soul pain, and only by persevering can the soul transformation be successful. The Nine Rings magicians of large organizations often refine a soul-numbing potion, and after taking this potion, it is relatively easy to pass this level.
Now that Haaland is in charge of the Red Moon Plane, he controls one and a half planes and two small magic crystal mines, which can produce 14,000 magic crystals a year. He also has control of a small mana well, capable of charging 3,000 magic crystals.
With such a scale of steel production, it has already beaten the surrounding countries, and even the Divine Glory Empire, which is vast and rich, cannot compete with Harland at all.
After years of development, a large number of water conservancy facilities have been built, and the use of farmhouse fertilizer and natural potash fertilizer has led to an average yield of 240 catties of wheat per mu.
After the magic energy particles transformed the soul, Richard quickly condensed the legendary spell template, and in a short period of time, the spell of the otherworldly cage was condensed into the soul.
The most difficult level for a magician to be promoted to a legend is that the spiritual power is not enough, and the vast majority of the nine-ring magicians have only more than 30 points of spiritual power, and this spiritual power cannot accept the deep-seated magic energy particles at all. Even if the mental power exceeds forty points, it is a little insufficient, and there is still a great danger in breaking through the legend.
After the strange energy entered the soul, Richard immediately ran the legendary meditation method and began to refine this strange energy.
In the end, the Holy Radiance Empire will withdraw 20,000 troops and disarm 20,000, and after the handover is completed, they will leave behind a legion, plus the servant soldiers recruited from the local area, for a total strength of about 40,000 troops.
Although it is still beyond its means, such a consumption rate, Haaland is enough to support it.
These two points were not a problem for Richard at all, Richard's spiritual power exceeded sixty points, and he had smelted deep magic energy particles twice, forming a special elemental talent. In terms of spiritual power, Richard is a few points more powerful than legendary magicians. He must have smelted deep magical energy particles with ease.
Among the six major provinces led by Haaland, only the four provinces of Central, Heihe, Vera, and Grotta have been well developed, while the two provinces of East Bank and Eagle are still vast and sparsely populated, and if they want to be developed, they need at least a few million people.
As time passed, Richard's physical body became more and more accustomed to pain, his consciousness became more and more active, and he gradually began to receive information from the outside world, and the transformation of his soul by magic energy particles was finally completed.
Even the Harland Leader had the Scarlet Horn Cultists who created a rebellion, but the scale was relatively small, with hundreds of dead and wounded, and the damage caused was not serious.
According to the territory area, the total area of Haaland's territory has been 1.27 million square kilometers, but more than 500,000 square kilometers of land has not been effectively developed, especially in the eastern coast provinces, there are now less than 100,000 people, and many places are deserted.
With Harland at the forefront, the Divine Radiance Empire began to withdraw its troops from the Red Moon Plane, and in recent years the Divine Radiance Empire has withdrawn a legion, and now only 80,000 troops remain.
And Haaland leads a freeman, he can get five acres of farmland, according to the average yield of Haaland, a freeman's annual harvest is about 1,200 catties.
After the spell template was condensed in the soul, Richard was considered to have succeeded in promoting to the legend.
Combined with the profits paid by state-owned enterprises, the total income of Haaland last year was as high as 7.9 million gold coins, and together with the 100,000 gold coins handed over by the Duke Bank, the financial revenue of Haaland's territory exceeded 8 million for the first time.
2605: F 700: 43: 6000:: 754
And mastering the legendary spell template was not a problem for Richard. Harland has a number of legendary spell inheritances, and Richard has used the Starlight Bomb many times, and he has long been familiar with this spell. In addition, Richard also introduced a new one, improving the nine-ring spell Otherworldly Gate he created, creating his own iconic legendary magic Otherworldly Cage.
As more and more troops led by Haraland, Oraar Castle has fallen under the control of Haraland's territory, the buffer zone between the two sides has expanded a lot, and the front line has gradually returned to calm.
The three magic crystal mines controlled by the Divine Radiance Empire were also handed over to two of the Harland Collar, and these two magic crystal mines can produce four thousand magic crystals a year, which is also a big addition to the Haaland Collar.
Gradually, more and more magic particles turned into a phantom.
Of the 13 million people directly under its command, the number of freedmen is about 11 million. Despite having 11 million freemen, Harland was able to implement the freedmen's land policy because of the large amount of empty land.
In the past two years of military expansion, Haaland has led a large number of technical troops, first of all, the magic crystal cannon unit, which has been expanded by twenty-eight squadrons, and the number of magic crystal cannons has increased by one hundred and eighty. In addition, the magic airship brigade has also increased to six. Each legion had a Magic Airship Brigade trained, and the Magic Hot Air Balloon Force was given to the artillerymen.
Richard was in the center of the Gathering Magic Array, and without hesitation to hit the bottleneck of the legend, he continued to enter deep meditation, feeling a strange energy rushing straight to the soul.
He couldn't see or hear all the information from the outside world, and he could only feel unbearable pain.
The agricultural tax set by Richard is roughly 30%, while the agricultural tax of the Grant Kingdom is basically more than 70%, and the serfs can only leave a little ration, which is not enough to eat and not enough on weekdays, and they have to dig wild vegetables and eat tree roots every spring. This kind of population, which does not have enough to eat and no clothes to wear, is of no use at all to the expansion of the consumer market except for providing a little labor.
According to the plan set by Haaland, it will take another three years to complete the handover.
Although everyone was anxious, Sophia was very confident in Richard.
In the center of the magic well near Aura Castle, Richard sat cross-legged on the ground, with a large magic gathering array arranged beside him.
The external situation is unstable, and the Red Moon plane is also surging undercurrents, whether it is Richard or Sophia, they all want to raise their professional level as soon as possible, once Haaland leads two legendary magicians in charge, it is enough to maintain the stability of the situation and make the enemy dare not move.
Eleven million freedmen simply can't fill the entire Haaland territory.
Unlike Evans, Pansy and others, Richard and Sophia are more talented and have a deeper foundation, and their spiritual power has reached the legendary level, and the template of the legendary spell is basically ready. Even the meditation method after being promoted to a legend, after years of attempts, has been successfully deduced.
Eleven million freemen, the land tax has collected 3,800,000 gold coins. Such a large amount of gold coins can be compared to the agricultural tax of the Kingdom of Grant.
Due to the territory's abundant finances and increasing investment in steel and railways, Haaland led to the commissioning of a new large-scale steel plant last year, with a capacity of up to 60,000 tons. Together with the new steel plant, Haaland's total steel production reached 450,000 tons last year.
Because of this difference, legendary mages were able to survive for many years after their physical death, relying on their energized souls. This state is somewhat similar to the Yuan Shen that Richard had heard of in his previous life.
Richard's willpower is very strong, and he can endure this severe pain, and in the past ten days, the intense pain has hit his nerves, making him gradually numb, unable to receive information from the outside world, as if entering death.
Although the Kingdom of Grant has also fallen into war since October last year, the Harland Territory is still developing rapidly.
After all, Haaland's agricultural tax is relatively light, and he only receives four silver coins per person, which is converted into about 360 catties of grain.
If it weren't for the limitations of extraordinary power, Haaland would have been able to easily unify the three continents with his current industrial capacity, just like Richard's empire in his previous life, where the sun never sets.
The total number of navigable months in a year is only more than five months, which is not very suitable for water transportation.
In the year 3280 of the Dawn calendar, the chaos near the Kingdom of Grant became more and more serious because Elena of the Venus family and Marlo of the Scarlet Horn joined forces to stir up the storm.
The reason why the legend is called a legend is that the legend is fundamentally different from ordinary people, and the body of the legend is no longer an ordinary body, but has been transformed by magic energy particles.
After being promoted to Legendary, Richard opened the attribute panel and found that his spiritual power had reached 76 points, an increase of twelve points compared to before the promotion, and his magic power had also reached 1,824 points, and he had also awakened the third elemental talent, the Body of the Storm.
After years of development, the agricultural income of the Harland Territory has finally caught up, which means that the agricultural output of the Harland Territory has far ahead of the Grant Kingdom.
Harland has several legendary meditation methods, with a variety of legendary meditation methods as a reference, after years of deduction, Richard has deduced the highland meditation method to the legendary realm.
This spell suddenly became a soul spell mastered by Richard, and after the soul spell was released, it had the effect of upgrading. For example, Richard unleashed a standard magical otherworldly cage, and the energy intensity was about the second-order level of the legendary.
In addition, many magicians have risen step by step, and they do not have a deep understanding of spell templates, and the legendary spell templates they have mastered are not firm, so they cannot be changed at all.
The railway is still advancing, the section from Castle East to King's Castle was completed last year, and according to Haraland's plan, the railway is still advancing eastward.
It is by virtue of this special state that Elena is able to be resurrected in other physical bodies.
Among them, there are 40,000 troops in the Red Moon Plane and 180,000 in the Dawn Plane.
Although Sophia took longer to be promoted to the Nine-Ring Wizard than Richard and prepared more, Richard analyzed the situation of the two and decided that he was more likely to be promoted successfully.
Souls transformed by magic energy particles are fundamentally different from ordinary souls, because the energy of soul power can interfere with the real world and move freely away from the body.
It has been seven days since Richard entered the Gathering Magic Array, and in the eyes of outsiders for the past seven days, his body has been motionless, as if he has fallen into a dormant, but the magic power in Richard's body is still running along with the Gathering Magic Array.
In addition to mental strength, Richard's three physical attributes have also been rarely improved, with strength increasing by 1.4 points, agility increasing by 0.6 points, and physical strength increasing by 0.8 points.
In recent years, Richard has spent most of his free time meditating, and the rank of a warrior has risen a little slowly, but he has been promoted to an eighth-order warrior for three and a half years, and it is estimated that he will soon be promoted to the ninth-order.
