"I have learned all the spells in the Magic Tower, even the spells of the soldiers. Most importantly, I have mastered Ritual Magic."

These are some things I've learned recently; if I had to put it into words, battlefield rituals are my current approach.

Lewis's eyes lit up when he heard what Yong Dou said.

He is neither a magic-based Hero nor a necromancer; in his view, Yong Dou would be a huge loss of points.

It seems that he is the only Hero among Gu Xi's Third Battalion.

Instead of Gu Xi on the details, Gu Xi became somewhat interested in Yong Dou.

He approached Yong Dou and asked directly, "Tell me in detail."

Looking at the situation before him, Lewis was incredulous. He wanted to tell Gu Xi that he was the best choice to control the Ghost right now, instead of Yong Dou.

Lewis's anxious appearance naturally caught the attention of Gu Xi and the others.

The situations of Robbie and Arroyo in the past were different from those of these two.

They just happened to run into Gu Xi, who had troops that they could use.

But now, Gu Xi has no worries about anything else; she has more options at her Gu Xi.

Because just before that, Gu Xi had at least a dozen more items that could transform leaders into Hero.

Although the Old Coffin kept saying that the chances of such a transformation were not high, there was always a chance that one or two out of ten pieces would turn out well.

Therefore, Gu Xi could completely overturn everything and make other choices.

The reason he's saying these things is actually to test the personalities of these two Hero.

After all, Commanding Hero of an organized force may lack combat effectiveness, talent, or rank, but he absolutely cannot lack brains.

Yong Dou's performance this time was passable; at least he knows his place in the game.

Lewis's performance was subpar; he thought Gu Xi only had him as a subordinate.

Yong Dou noticed that Gu Xi and the other two looked strange. He thought about it carefully for a moment before explaining the Ritual Magic he had envisioned to Gu Xi.

In the idea of Yong Dou, mages should not be used as archers in the front lines during major battles.

That would be a huge waste of the mages' abilities. Mages should be positioned in the back, using altars or other means to perform magical rituals.

Furthermore, through magical rituals, they can alter the weather, wind direction, and even summon volcanoes and lightning to attack enemies.

Hearing this, Gu Xi thought about it seriously for a moment, "You mean, move the mage back a little further?"

"Yes, although moving the mage backward will prevent them from directly attacking enemies like archers, the existence of Ritual Magic can amplify the mage's power a hundredfold."

As long as it's not a skirmish, and as long as we have time to set up the ritual altar, a hundred Skeleton Mage be as effective as a thousand.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi's eyes lit up.

Are you sure?

"I'm sure, and I've already figured out five different rituals. Three of them require an altar, and one of them requires an offering."

When talking about his research, Yong Dou spoke very seriously.

Tell me about it.

"First, we need an altar and offerings, and we also need to prepare a long-lasting Ritual Magic, Slow Spell!"

Huh?

Gu Xi glanced at Yong Dou in surprise. He hadn't expected that Yong Dou would use the Slow Spell as the most important Ritual Magic.

"The reason why the Slow Spell has reached this point is entirely because the Slow Spell is related to the power of the earth, and the derivative skills of the Slow Spell also have similar ideas."

With just one hundred Skeleton Mage and an altar, and by offering one unit of stone, one can control the gravity within a radius of two thousand five hundred meters, centered on the altar.

It can increase the movement speed of our troops, or slow down the movement speed of the enemy, or even make them unable to move.

The magical effect will continue as long as the Skeleton Mage performing the ritual is alive.

After revealing his research findings, Yong Dou was quite proud of himself. However, he finally realized the situation, so he suppressed his intention to explain to Gu Xi how these magical rituals were developed and quickly introduced other Ritual Magic to Gu Xi.

"Ice Storm and Mana Drain, one is a skill that Skeleton Mage specialize in the Ice Arrow spell, and the other is something that most Skeleton Mage have learned, so these two Ritual Magic were studied quite quickly."

They all require a special ritual altar.

The Ice Storm also requires Skeleton Mage is proficient in the Ice Arrow spell to perform the ritual, which requires a total of 100 people.

Mana Drain is different; Skeleton Mage and even Lich can participate, and the more people involved, the better the effect.

Ice Storm can increase the attack range of Ice Storm by fifteen times and its power is twice that of a normal Ice Storm.

The power I projected later was based on my estimation, since the Skeleton Mage was never under my control and I hadn't conducted any experiments. I could only demonstrate the fall based on my own data.

Mana Drain, on the other hand, can drain all the mana of all enemy Magic Unit.

This is also a problem. I think we need a way to store mana, like a Mana Pool.

Otherwise, when the ritual ends, all that extra magic power will be wasted.

Two spells that do not require a ritual altar: Ice Ring Spell and Blood Loss Curse.

I'm currently researching these two. I feel that the Blood Loss Curse and Mana Drain could go down the same path, drawing life force from the enemy and concentrating it together.

However, I got stuck on some ideas later on. I think it might be better if there was Vampire Blood Mage.

The Ice Ring Spell Ice Storm. Most importantly, Frost Nova doesn't harm the person directly in the center of the ring, making it ideal for self-defense. The problem now is the lack of manpower.

Listening to Yong Dou's introduction, Gu Xi asked very seriously, "Yong Dou, how many of these five Ritual Magic can be successfully performed?"

"It can all work."

Yong Dou pushed up his glasses with a serious expression, just as the wind blew by, making a few strands of hair on his head bounce.

"Alright, I'll trust you this once. In the upcoming battle, you'll be in charge of arranging all the Skeleton Mage. Show me each one, but don't make too many."

If you can master three out of the five types of Ritual Magic, I will create a magic army for you.

Do you see this battle flag?

This is a method that allows for staffing without requiring a base of operations. Although it has some drawbacks, it's better than dragging things out indefinitely.

Hearing Gu Xi's words, Lewis and Yong Dou's reactions were the exact opposite of when they first appeared.

The Yong Dou was fueled by courage, while Lewis felt like his world was collapsing.

Seeing Lewis's expression, Gu Xi finally said something.

"Lewis, think about Yagyu's choice, and then think about your performance."

Gu Xi's words sent a chill down Lewis's spine. He realized where the problem lay and lowered his head. "Sir, I understand. I will find my place."
