Chapter 270 Terra's Mage Academy and Living Tanks

At this time in the city of Terra, in the main urban area, which originally had only three or four stories high buildings at most, thanks to the unremitting efforts of these priests and craftsmen, a half-meter building similar to a nest city has been built layer by layer. Looking down from mid-air, there are still countless workers and construction machinery constantly stacking it up and down.

A vast and open underground space under the urban area has also been developed.

Eventually, these priests built the city of Terra into something similar to a hive city.

However, what is different from the hive city is that the factory areas and urban areas above the ground still maintain perfect laws and human rights.

The humans living here are not like those in the hive cities of 40k who can only barely survive. Here, both food and clean drinking water are fully guaranteed, and those who are allowed to live here, whether they are Terra officials, civilians or workers, can have a complete living space.

The portable living facilities and the extremely high level of civilization make people yearn for this place, but if they want to live here, they must make enough contributions to Terra.

Being able to live in the main city of Terra has become a reward system that has attracted countless medieval humans, just like many people today who will try to settle down in big cities. This has also allowed Terra to continuously absorb outstanding talents from various Electoral Territories.

In addition to absorbing various technical personnel, Terrane also established a new department at this time.

The head of this department is Bayershazer. The function of this department is similar to the Astronomican Court of the 40k Empire, but it does not have its complex organizational structure.

The only responsibility is to search, screen and train all humans with magical talents found.

What Bayershazer has to do is to train Terra's own magician combat force, using his Golden Academy as the most basic foundation to expand it into Terra's own magic academy.

Although Sigmar and Ulric have now accepted the faith of the God-Emperor and are promoting it widely within the empire, Karl, as the emperor of the empire, still holds firmly in his hands the Imperial School of Mages, one of the foundations of his existence.

As for the mages who were once high and mighty, they were not very willing to join the Terra collective. After all, once you join Terra, you must serve this collective wholeheartedly and lose the special treatment you once had as a superior person.

As the governor, Ludwig was not very interested in the old forces of the empire. If these privileged classes wanted to change their deep-rooted ideas, it would be better to train a group of them directly. Rashly absorbing these people would instead lay a huge hidden danger.

The destructive power of the mage is too great. Once a few unstable factors appear, the result will be counterproductive.

The development of Terra's own magic academy was much smoother than expected.

"Lord Ludwig, this is the recent construction report of the academy." Bayershazer handed the document in his hand to Ludwig.

Opening Bayershazer's file, Ludwig also smiled.

"The number of people with magical talents found is 523, including 212 children, 256 young people, and 56 adults."

"Sir Bayershazer, the number of people is far greater than you imagined. I will send nuns to carve exclusive divine symbols for them, and political commissars to go to the academy to establish faith and carry out various ideological work for these people." Ludwig said with a smile.

"The number of people has indeed exceeded my estimate. In the past, many people with magical talents were hidden at home by their families to avoid being discovered by the church. However, after Terra introduced relevant policies, many parents are willing to hand over their children to us. With the existence of the divine sigils, it can also prevent these talented people from getting out of control to a large extent.

This has greatly reduced the level of management of the college.”

Bayershazer was also in a good mood.

Before Terra appeared, there were very few people who could truly become combat mages or auxiliary mages. Many talented people could not even wait to be discovered by the academy, and had already become the medium for Chaos to descend upon the mortal world during the process of magic awakening. Many electoral lords were also very resistant to these huge potential threats, and even hunted them.

Many people in the community would burn these out-of-control people to death as witches. In order to prevent their children from falling into such an irretrievable situation, many families would conceal the truth and hide these people.

With the release of Terra's announcement, successfully recruited families will receive official support and even honors. With the dual blessings of material and faith, many people with magical talents have taken the initiative to join the academy.

This is no longer a mandatory measure, but everyone's proactive behavior, so the establishment of the academy has become unusually smooth. The existence of the divine talisman allows these beginners to use magic power as much as possible without worrying about being noticed by the demons in the Chaos Realm.

No matter how good the theoretical teaching is, it cannot compare to practice, so the growth rate of magicians in the academy is very amazing.

"How long will it take before we can add these mages to our army or city construction?" Ludwig asked the question he was most concerned about.

After all, supernatural power like magic is sometimes faster than human power, and even the construction tools of the monastery are not as convenient as magic.

No matter how fast a wall is, it still needs to be poured and waited for, but magic can build a high wall in an instant (refer to the construction of the Wall of Faith in the original plot. The Wall of Faith that spanned the empire and blocked the attack of the demon army was built with the blessing of magic.)
"In two months at most, the first batch of trainees will be able to join the work."

Ludwig was very satisfied with Bayershazer's answer. After all, Terra had already moved beyond its original small earldom, and the surrounding electoral territories had extremely high demands for construction.

If Terra on the ground is the bright and positive side, then Terra underground has now become a completely different picture.

The middle nest, the lower nest and the upper nest are all like a paradise, while the bottom nest looks like a 40k bottom nest.

However, at this time in Terra's base nest, apart from the priests of the monastery and a small number of necessary living people who knew about it, no other living creatures could be seen.

Siserlin's undead worker plan has also been implemented underground in Terra.

In the vast underground space, one hollowed-out necromancer after another was made into magic generator.

Not only civilians are hunting these necromancers, the officials of Terra also send their own teams into Sylvania. Mehrindi of the Assassin's Court sneaked into Sylvania with a hunting team.

Nowhere in the Empire are there more necromancers than in Sylvania.

Under the assassin's terrifying infiltration technology, one necromancer after another was killed and became Terra's tools.

A large number of factories in the underground space are constantly producing weapons under the construction of these undead servants.

If an uninformed person saw this, they would definitely cry out blasphemy and think this was hell.

The underground factories on Terra also received orders from Lustria, and the priests began to design special weapons and equipment based on the dinosaurs domesticated by the Lizardmen.

Think about the Ankylosaurs equipped with twin heavy bombs and multi-barreled laser cannons, the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Cold Lizards protected by ceramic steel and steel plates. Even if these guys are placed on the regular battlefield of 40k, they are still powerful living tanks.
