Profession: Territory Mage

After settling things in the newly conquered Flying Eagle City, Fran casually walked into a nobleman's mansion.

The nobles living inside had long since fled, and when they heard that the force attacking the town was an unknown group, they wished they had two more pairs of legs.

Those with connections may have escaped through the secret passages within Flying Eagle City, while others may have already blended in with the civilians.

There was no other way; if this unfamiliar force breached Flying Eagle City, the nobles would be the first to suffer.

Unlike the knights, these nobles in the city could not have their own squires and soldiers; they could only recruit a few guards, and the number was strictly limited.

All the enemy troops who breached the city walls knew that the common people had no money at all; if they really wanted to rob someone, they would have to go to the homes of the nobles, where there would be something to steal.

Otherwise, let whoever wants to take those pots and pans from ordinary people do so.

There was no one alive in the house anymore, according to Fran's investigation. She set Magic Trap at the door, then went inside and pulled out a chair.

After sitting down, she immediately opened the Panel in her mind, only to find that there were no changes on her own Panel.

"Is the Profession of Territory Mage still not established?"

Fran bit her finger and frowned.

Although she knew that for her now, a small piece of territory that could provide assistance to First Order knight would offer her almost no benefit.

It's normal that there's no change in attributes, but what Fran really wants to explore is whether she can create a Territory Mage Profession by following the Territory Knight's method.

Don't be fooled by the fact that one is a Physical Profession and the other is a magical Profession. They may seem unrelated, but in reality, both rely on the former's territory, with the latter merely being a manifestation of it.

Fran herself believed that this shouldn't be too difficult. After all, as long as she received the Territory Blessing, the increase in power would be real. If it followed the general rules of this world, it should form a Profession.

Fran believes that a mage has a unique perspective on the Profession system: on the current continent, once you possess power comparable to First Order Profession, a corresponding Profession will naturally emerge.

This Profession may have existed before, or it may have never existed before, but ultimately, the manifestation of these extraordinary powers will all be Profession.

Fran has now firmly secured two territories, Flying Eagle Territory will soon be under her control as well.

The power derived solely from the territory is enough to create a new Profession.

After all, she used magic to make the Territory Blessing appear on her body, so the enhancement would naturally lean towards her Mental Power.

Although the territory buff on the Panel says it will buff all attributes, Fran can completely convert these buffs into her spirit attribute.

The problem is that her attributes are too high, Territory Blessing are just a minor inconvenience to her.

However, this also gave Fran an idea, making her realize why there was no sign of the Territory Mage Profession being established until now.

Just like the problem Harbos encountered back then, he was already Fourth Order Mage, with a life level that was too high to create low-tier spells, so he could only rely on Fran's development.

The same applies to Fran now. Her life level is too high, and the Territory Blessing has no effect on her at all, so it is impossible for her to form the Profession of Territory Mage.

If Fran wants the Territory Mage Profession to appear on the Panel, then she must increase the strength of this Territory Blessing.

So how can we strengthen the power of this territory's blessing? Well, we'll have to wait until Fran conquers more territory.

"Then we'll have to wait until we reach the Royal Capital."

Fran's current strategy is to proceed slowly. There are still too few people on their side, and the system she wants to implement is completely different from the system in this land.

This avoids many troubles, such as the current interests of the knightly class and the handling of local powerful families; these can be dealt with directly using the most forceful methods.

However, this also brought about problems with the methods she adopted, namely, that she needed a large number of people to maintain stability in the initial stages, which was a drawback.

Of course, if she continues to conquer towns in this way, the more believers she converts, the more new believer classes will spontaneously form a new atmosphere of protecting interests, and their numbers will also increase.

By then, she will no longer need to conquer towns one by one; she will have the capacity to attack and deal with several towns at once.

Just like the Flying Eagle Territory now, her original plan was to quickly turn Flying Eagle Territory into her own territory after conquering it.

Then, she armed the converts who had been converted for some time and brought them to the Battlefield. This time, Fran planned to directly attack and capture three towns.

The occupation of Flying Eagle City will take about ten days, while the River Valley Territory will take half a month. This is because Fran was short-handed at the time, and she was struggling just to maintain order.

This time is different. This time, if a small portion of the people of Flying Eagle City are converted into believers, Fran can significantly increase the number of believers who can be considered as real combat power.

After conquering Flying Eagle Territory, it would be a lie to say that Fran doesn't have enough manpower.

While factories do consume manpower, the rate of consumption only skyrockets over time.

For Fran, it would take at least a month to digest the population of the newly conquered Flying Eagle Territory, even if she expands production at all costs.

Now, Fran's most important task is to quickly seize control of Antir; she already has a sufficient organizational structure to govern the entire Antir.

"After taking over Flying Eagle Territory, and then three more territories, I will have six territories under my control, and by then the battle line will probably have been pushed to the outskirts of the Royal Capital."

Fran paused slightly at the mention of six territories. If her estimate was correct, six territories would be enough for a knight to advance to Second Order Profession User.

As long as a knight has a little reputation of his own, with the Territory Blessing, it's a sure thing for him to become a second-tier knight in two or three years.

Antir has a total of eighteen territories, which means it can produce a total of three Second Order Profession User.

However, this raises another question: Antir has historically produced Third Order Professional, but they no longer do.

If we consider the ratio of six to one, Antir is far from being able to produce Third Order Professional. So how did Antir manage to produce Third Order Professional?

This is another knightly system – the role of the Kingdom.

While titles below the king's level are practically useless and offer no bonuses to knights, they become truly useful at the king's level.

Fran wasn't worried that Theodore would advance to Third Order Professional at this time, leaving her unable to fight and forced to seek support from outside the arena.

She was concerned about what would happen if, as Territory Mage, I inherited the throne, or crushed it...

Fran had only heard that some mages had done this part of the experiment, but the Northern Lands Society did not have Paper on such experiments, so she did not know the specifics of what would happen.

All she knew was that the throne truly possessed power, and that once a throne was established, it would not disappear; even if no one sat on it for a long time, the throne would still remain.

Now, Fran's task is to eradicate the very image of the throne and eliminate the knights. She herself has no intention of adopting the title of King of Antir. So, if that's the case, will the throne still exist?

This piqued Fran's curiosity; she was eager to know how things would unfold, and all of this would happen soon, without her having to wait long.

Half a month later, the southern city wall of Flying Eagle City was opened, and believers carrying firearms and having undergone some minor training walked out of the city gate.

Fran didn't undertake any factory construction or similar projects in Flying Eagle City this time; she simply had someone organize the railway laying.

For the rest of the time, she had her followers in the rear bring weapons and ammunition to Flying Eagle City.

At this time, there were about five hundred believers in the city whom Fran regarded as combat personnel, although many of these people were specifically engaged in logistics.

Maintenance of ammunition and firearms, food and clothing, and medical personnel...

A qualified army must be equipped with all of the above-mentioned logistical personnel in order to mobilize an army of several hundred people.

The troops in front of the city gate had already formed ranks: three small square formations and one large square formation.

The three small formations were personnel pre-arranged to garrison the three new towns, while the larger formation was for those tasked with attacking the strongholds.

However, this time Fran is personally accompanying the team; she will be going with them to conquer these three towns, so there are probably no more places to attack.

Even if they did, if even Fran couldn't break through, then ordinary people with equipment certainly couldn't either.

The subsequent conquest of the three towns was rather tedious, as most of the time was spent traveling.

When they reached the city wall, after the cannons fired three rounds, Fran used her Telekinetic Hand to lift the city gate, and the enemy's defenses crumbled instantly.

The battle was progressing so quickly that the believers were only surprised to find that they had already captured three cities as the sun was about to set.

Even though they didn't play a decisive role in the battle, they couldn't help but feel proud after participating in this extraordinary victory.

At that moment, their faith in the Lord of Radiance was strengthened even further.

After Fran climbed the bell tower in the third town and lowered the Stone Tablet, she looked towards the Royal Capital Royal Capital, where she could already vaguely see its edges.

Fran then opened the Panel, and a new line of text surprised her; she hadn't expected it to be achieved so quickly.
