A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 685 Frontline Battles

After casually assigning Denozhi his future goals, Jiang Shuzhou prepared to personally lead the army on a northern expedition against the Alliance of Saints.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't plan to deal with Roland's side for the time being, and just let him develop his own power. After all, developing power was too boring.

"You're just going to give them a broken rock?"

Without even thinking, these are the words of Renodia.

It seems Jiang Shuzhou went too far; otherwise, she would still be lying in bed, instead of making sarcastic remarks.

"That's no ordinary stone, that's..."

"I mean, this young girl has been following you for so long, and you just try to fool her with a little pebble?"

It seems that Renodia is not entirely satisfied with Jiang Shuzhou's busy schedule lately.

"Alright, Sister Renotia, the professor didn't mean it."

Denoz didn't have much of an opinion on this, after all, she knew Jiang Shuzhou best.

Trying to find a romantic connection in the other person is almost impossible.

However, she didn't really want the other person to be romantic. Besides, wasn't it Jiang Shuzhou who helped her when she was most helpless?

"I roughly understand what you mean, but I have to say that romance is just something created by others. If I wanted to, I could make a stone into a symbol of romance at any time, so that every couple in love would give each other stones."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand and said casually.

Without a doubt, Jiang Shuzhou does have this ability; he is exceptionally strong and his influence is second to none.

Promoting a certain trend is naturally quite simple.

"Alright, alright, I can't argue with you."

Renodia rolled her eyes and didn't say anything more.

Jiang Shuzhou is a typical rational thinker. He always relies on reason when doing things. He can be more emotional when he is having fun, but even when he realizes his mistakes, he still relies on rational reasoning.

"If you're not satisfied, I can build you a world, a world filled with diamonds and roses. How about that? Romantic enough?"

Although Renotia was momentarily moved by Jiang Shuzhou's words, she quickly calmed down.

"You're not planning to swallow another dimension and then spit out one like this, are you?"

"You guessed right."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

Upon hearing this, Renotia was at a loss for what to do.

No, do you know what this means to me?

"Can't you put yourself in someone else's shoes? How would you feel if someone finished eating and then spat out a bowl of processed rice?"

"I think this is normal, after all, everyone has their own talents."

This is Jiang Shuzhou's answer. Obviously, Renodia's words were still a bit too conservative.

Although Jiang Shuzhou is human, he is a god-like being with an absurdly high capacity for accepting such bizarre things.

Just as he accepted Renoir's metaphor in less than a second and imagined it.

"..."

Renodia was speechless.

"Alright, alright, I'll stay with you guys for a bit. I need to go check out the situation at the front lines. Contact me if anything comes up."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand, and then disappeared from Renotia's sight in an instant.

"That's just how the professor is, you'll get used to it."

Denoz waved his hand, looking helpless, and said to Renotia.

Alliance of Saints, frontline.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The deafening explosions, accompanied by the aftershocks of the battle between the powerful warriors, echoed wildly across the entire battlefield.

"Don't just stand there! Let's go! That's the battlefield for the legends ahead!"

His comrades pulled and dragged him away.

Then, just a few minutes after they left, the place was engulfed by a blinding white light.

"Fortunately, I didn't stay there for too long."

"You're lucky, kid. Maybe it won't happen next time."

The veteran standing nearby continued.

The war has now been going on for almost a year.

Although the battle is still progressing steadily, people's enthusiasm has waned considerably.

After all, their lives were their own. They weren't elite soldiers; they were just ordinary people who had received combat packages and become first-tier warriors.

War is not a game; people die.

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou can resurrect people.

But the cruel truth is, why did Jiang Shuzhou want to resurrect these people?

Most people, after death, go directly into reincarnation and become a new being.

Only a small number of people, either because of their outstanding contributions or because of their special souls, will have their souls specially taken care of by Jiang Shuzhou and will be thrown directly into the dream world to live a life of peace and tranquility.

Isn't this also a form of reincarnation into another world?

It's just that the plot isn't very exciting, but if Jiang Shuzhou wants it, it's not impossible.

In the command center of the contaminated city of Saint-Ilan.

"725th Division, raise the gun muzzle by seven centimeters!"

This was an order given by Jiang Shuzhou. From then on, he was able to command the army as if he were playing a game, and war became as simple as breathing.

For Jiang Shuzhou's computing power, he could issue tens of thousands of such instructions per second.

It can be said that when Jiang Shuzhou completed the integration of the informationized military, his command of the army had reached its peak.

"My lord, after a year of war, we have successfully occupied three enemy provinces, approximately..."

Hayes was giving Jiang Shuzhou his routine report.

Although Jiang Shuzhou already knew all this, reporting it was still unavoidable.

It's mainly for the sake of a sense of ritual.

"That's true, but as far as I know, resistance remains extremely fierce in some areas, and there are still many places unwilling to join the collective and become members of the Soth Society?"

Jiang Shuzhou's tone was not particularly volatile, sounding quite calm.

However, this one sentence almost scared the people below out of their wits.

Hayes and Pierre were alright, after all, they were old subordinates.

But others were not like that. In their eyes, Jiang Shuzhou was the epitome of ruthlessness, capable of killing countless legends and destroying dozens of disobedient planes without blinking an eye.

This is worse than the devil himself.

It's said that quite a few devils are planning to defect to Jiang Shuzhou. After all, compared to their superiors who only exploit them and don't care about promotions, Jiang Shuzhou not only provides food and lodging, but also ensures that as long as you contribute enough, promotion, wealth, and increased power are all basic operations.

As for the leader being too cold-blooded?

What a joke! So what? It's just being a little cold-blooded.

Killing a few people is nothing.

"They must be integrated into the group within a month, otherwise, there's no need for anyone there."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

For those who want to be unconventional, we must be ruthless; otherwise, they're probably still dreaming, waiting for divine soldiers and generals to descend to earth.
