Chapter 435 - 8: Terror Legend of 100 Years Later
Roman is an unparalleled genius in the field of magic, advancing wildly in spells.
He quickly mastered all the basic magic and turned to study the more advanced Silver Moon system.
He practiced spells only on cool nights, handled administrative affairs in the hot daylight. He maintained two hours of sleep daily, with an extremely intense lifestyle, but achieved remarkable results. Behind these results is the consumption of extraordinary resources.
Roman would use his brief sleep time to enter [Battlefield Simulation] in his dreams, repeating the battlefields he had experienced with his Angel Envoy warriors.
Each day in that illusory battlefield he would master new spells, evolving his casting skills from unfamiliar to proficient.
He knew exactly what he was doing, as the origin and key to everything. He had to strengthen himself, transform to perfection and power, then impart his spells to his Angels. Like a beast nourishing the souls of the Angel Envoys.
Only in this way does the River Valley have the power to resist the outside world.
But resources are only so much; he couldn’t conjure them from thin air.
Zhu Yuanzhang had to bury his head and farm for over a decade to sweep across and claim the empire; the former had a solid foundation, while Roman only had a poorly developed Wilderness, scarce in manpower and materials. No matter how ambitious and diligent he was, he couldn’t surpass centuries of resource development by others.
Of course, over the years, Roman had amassed some wealth to prepare for contingencies; now, when it’s time to use it, he doesn’t need to be frugal at all.
He negotiated with Tashina, hoping the White Steel Princess could donate her dowry, and he could exchange it with resources of the Silver Moon Knights.
