This book only contained some of Bill George's insights. There were very few parts related to puppets. It was basically some scattered information about spells and mana, and it was only related to magic comprehension.
And these things were the most precious things to Lin Yun. He knew a lot, but some things couldn't be obtained without personally experiencing them.
These things were what Lin Yun needed the most right now. Mana could no longer shackle the Archmage realm. Runes, Magic Conducting Runes, Core Meditation Law Sets, True Spirit Magic Tools … These weren't restricted by his rank.
The only thing restricting Lin Yun's rank was the accumulation of Laws and comprehension. These couldn't be accomplished in one go.
Thus, as long as Lin Yun had any new insights, his rank would automatically increase. He had already gained a lot of insights and new inspirations when he was burned by those illusory Soul Fires, and he had already reached the peak of the 4th Rank of the Archmage realm.
Now, as he looked at this book that Bill George didn't really care about and had casually thrown away, he immediately felt that he had smoothly advanced to the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm.
A completely different feeling rose in Lin Yun's heart. He felt as if the power he could display had increased a lot. It was as if he could only display 50% to 60% of his original power, but now he could display 70% to 80%.
Lin Yun flipped through the book in his hand and understood that this wasn't an illusion, it was real.
The 5th Rank of the Archmage realm was a threshold for Archmages. When he first arrived in the Raging Flame Plane, he had heard that those under the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm could only be considered cannon fodder in the Raging Flame Plane.
Only powerhouses above the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm could truly influence the outcome of a battle.
In Noscent, there was also a point of view that the path of the Archmage realm started from the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm.
Before the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm, it was a process of accumulation. The increase in rank and power wasn't much different from the High Mage realm, or even the Great Mage realm.
But starting from the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm, they would start touching the shadows of the Laws. They would be able to feel the shadows of the Laws, and in that fuzzy state, they would be able to observe and comprehend that wisp of shadow, hoping to find something within.
Thus, starting from the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm, with each increase in rank, the change in strength would keep increasing. Their power clearly wouldn't increase too much, but they could feel that the power they could display was stronger than they had imagined. This was the change brought about by seeing a wisp of the Law's shadow.
After silently advancing to the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm, Lin Yun couldn't help smiling.
After advancing to this realm, his strength would increase once again. Ordinary 9th Rank Archmages were no longer his opponent. Only peak Archmages like Hören and Joy, who were already half a step into the Heaven Rank, could be his opponent.
Lin Yun was holding Bill George's notes and studying magic, while the Radiant Fort was in full swing.
With the Radiant Fort as the center, some of the surrounding tribes had already been suppressed, and they were even thinking of expanding further. As the underground puppet base started operating at full speed, a large number of puppets were produced.
These puppets weren't particularly high in rank, but there was a huge number of them. There were all kinds of puppets working as laborers in the Radiant Fort, those going to some resource points near the Radiant Fort to excavate ores, and there were all kinds of puppets.
After returning from the underground base, Reina went to painstakingly cultivate. Her soul had been purified and tempered, and her Dragon Crystal Remodeling Plan was progressing faster and faster. Her strength was also increasing faster and faster, far surpassing the fastest speed of a Frost Dragon.
One had to know that Dragons had a long lifespan. This was especially true for some of the more powerful Dragon races. They were not considered adults until they were 1,000 years old. They were naturally powerful, but their growth in strength and level was very slow, much slower than that of humans.
Reina had already reached level 39 in a bit over a year, and her strength was still continuously increasing. She was at least a few dozen times stronger than an ordinary Frost Dragon.
Xiuban's increase in level didn't show any signs of slowing down. On the contrary, he seemed to age faster and faster. He would soon advance to the 7th Rank of the Sword Saint realm. His power was becoming more and more terrifying, and his body was becoming more and more unimaginably powerful. He was unexpectedly hit in the back by a level 36 puppet, but he only grimaced in pain and cursed.
As for Lin Yun's patched puppet, he had used some of the precious components he had found in the underground base to replace some low level components. If he could find some Heaven Rank Puppet components, it wouldn't be impossible for it to recover to the Heaven Rank.
More and more of the fifty mages under his command advanced to the Archmage realm. The leader of the mage army, Kurumu, was progressing the fastest. Although he was still a 2nd Rank Archmage, his control over Fire Elemental Incarnation already exceeded the original power of his spells.
The entire Radiant Fort was flourishing, and everyone was in a good mood. Only Wagner's mood wasn't good at all.
"Sir Shawn, I was wrong, I didn't mean to curse you in my mind …"
Wagner was holding his head as he rolled on the ground, his face full of pain and alarm.
After a dozen seconds, Shawn came out of Wagner's head and returned to the ring with a disdainful expression.
"Damned b * stard, you are actually slandering the great Sir Shawn in your mind! Are you trying to make fun of me?"
Wagner promptly shook his head, fear visible on his face. His face was deathly pale.
Seeing Shawn return to the ring, Wagner accepted his fate in despair.
After returning from the underground base, Wagner had been thinking that with this huge puppet base under his control, there was no point in following Lin Yun.
At first, he had wanted to resist, but Shawn had opened a backdoor in his soul, so he was completely defenseless against Shawn. His crooked thoughts couldn't escape Shawn's notice.
Every time he had such thoughts, he would be tidied up by Shawn.
In the past few days, he had been tidied up a few times a day, and in the end, his soul was a bit damaged. He was like a dead dog, unable to stand up. Now, he didn't dare to resist.
He didn't dare to resist, but he was unwilling, and then he was tidied up by Shawn.
He wanted to harden his heart and directly use a spell to cut off his finger with the ring, but just as this thought appeared in his mind, Shawn violently tore apart his soul and made him experience what it meant to be better off dead than alive.
Now, Wagner looked at the ring on his finger with an expression that said he had accepted his fate.
'Forget it, it's already like this. I can't escape, I can't resist, what else can I do? My soul is controlled, I can't not accept my fate.
'I'll follow that Mafa Merlin. That Mafa Merlin is so frightening, his chances of advancing to the Heaven Rank might be very high. I heard from Shawn that Mafa Merlin just advanced to the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm.
'5th Rank of the Archmage realm …
'Damn, how could a 5th Rank Archmage be so powerful? If he advances to the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm, wouldn't he have the power of a Heaven Rank powerhouse?
'Moreover, it only took him a few years to go from an apprentice to such a frightening existence. It wouldn't be shameful to follow him.
'Now that I'm in control of a puppet base, I'm a lot stronger than when I was in the George Family. Even if I became the Patriarch of the George Family, the chances of advancing to the Heaven Rank would be very small, but it might be possible if I followed him.
'Forget it, it's already like this, so let's just leave it like this for now.'
Wagner had completely resigned himself to his fate. He obediently operated the Radiant Fort and controlled the underground base's operations.
Half a month passed in a flash, and the Radiant Fort had already been built like an iron bucket. Unless the Raging Flame Beastman army swept over, there was absolutely no chance of it being taken away.
Even the surroundings of the Radiant Fort were completely under their control. Although the Radiant Fort was considered a bitterly cold place in the Raging Flame Plane, it was only because the climate and environment weren't suitable for most plants to grow.
The food that the Beastmen needed couldn't be produced here, and there was a pitiful amount of prey, but there was a lot of ore.
But these ore veins weren't particularly important to the Raging Flame Beastmen, so this place wasn't very good.
It wasn't without reason that Bill George established his base here. There were ore veins, but it didn't attract any attention.
A large number of puppets were continuously produced, and everyone started to become idle. Not only was Lin Yun reading books every day, but Reina and Xiuban also had nothing to do. The fifty mages also had a lot of time to study magic every day.
This was fine for one or two days, after all, they had experienced fierce battles. But as time passed, everyone became somewhat anxious.
Normally, it would be fine to occupy a fort and properly construct it, but this wasn't the time to be idle.
This was the largest military campaign in the history of the Raging Flame Plane. The general offensive campaign would determine the fate of the Raging Flame Plane, as well as who would be the future ruler of the Raging Flame Plane.
The struggle between the Andalusia Kingdom and the Odin Kingdom was already at its most intense, and the points were clearly changing every day. Everyone was doing their utmost to fight for more points.
But at this time, Lin Yun wasn't anxious at all. He was holding a book every day with his head lowered, or he would dismantle and reinstall a puppet.
"Merlin, the Radiant Fort is almost under our control, and everything in the surroundings is under our control. Why aren't you anxious? If this drags on, we will fall behind too much. Even if the Andalusia Kingdom wins this campaign, we won't get much land."
