The Beastmen reject the Magic system, not because it isn't powerful. On the contrary, all Beastmen know the might of the Mages.

The reason they reject it is partly because it differs from their combat ideology. Beastmen prefer brutal, blood-soaked battles, which better kindle their fervor.

Furthermore, because they are not skilled in it, naturally, they tend to disparage it.

This boosts the morale of their tribe, preventing them from collapsing when they encounter the Magic system.

However, contemplating the massive appearance of Magic Users by their opponents leaves them feeling somewhat weighed down.

Only Zhao Guang is manageable. Although they are highly vigilant, Zhao Guang's personal strength is extreme, while his subordinates are less impressive. Moreover, their relations with Zhao Guang have been generally good, without open conflicts.

Those small maneuvers in private are commonplace for people at their level.

Yet, thinking of the Chirali Empire's frenzied construction of the Magic Network, they feel a headache forming. Moreover, it is rumored that even the Klein Empire has also begun large-scale Magic Network construction.

Only the Undead Mage faction dislikes such things.

After all, for the Undead Mage, their own Magic Power is most important. If one's own power is controlled under the opponent's network coverage, it is very dangerous for them.

Not to mention, their original base, the Plague Swamp, was wiped out by Zhao Guang.

Now the Plague Swamp has been transformed into an expanse of farmland, becoming a huge food base. That area of Plague Swamp is now practically the majority of Xuanwu Kingdom's territory.

After compromise, the Beastmen finally sent someone to contact Aleya.

Then Aleya approached Zhao Guang to inquire about the Magic Network.

"You're saying the Beastmen want the construction of the Magic Network and also desire various Magic Net professionals suitable for them?"

Aleya nodded, looking somewhat anxious at Zhao Guang, since this is a means to strengthen the overall power of the Beastmen. For Humans, it could even be seen as aiding the enemy.

She wasn't sure what Zhao Guang's thoughts were, he might even grow to resent her.

But Aleya had to say it, because if Human power increases too much, it would certainly be bad for the Beastmen, potentially leading to a complete wipe-out if they're careless.

And such an outcome wouldn't be good for her either.

Without a strong faction behind her, it would be like having no powerful family support.

Even if Zhao Guang might not target her, others within the Kingdom might still look down on her. For the future, she had to take gambles. Besides, Aleya understood Zhao Guang, she knew what kind of person he was.

As expected, Zhao Guang thought for a moment and then nodded, saying, "That's not an issue, but it will take some time. I am currently researching simplified Mage Towers, ones that don't require Mages to oversee the Magic Nodes, and should be completed soon."

Hearing this, Aleya's eyes sparkled: "Can it really succeed? That would be wonderful."

Zhao Guang nodded: "Yes, it can indeed succeed. Not only does it not require Mage oversight, but it is also more resilient to damage and easier to construct. Once you buy the modules, you can assemble them yourself."

This was specially simplified by Zhao Guang since wanting to deploy them across the continent requires a complete modular system.

Only by transforming them into a complete simplified structure can it be spread easily.

In any case, this setup originally uses parts of the Mage Tower's functionality. By extracting that portion, it doesn't require the Mage Tower itself.

Humans need Mage Towers to train Magic Users, but Beastmen have no such structures.

Building such simplified arrangements not only is convenient to use but also avoids the risk that Humans might turn them into strongholds once occupied. Demolishing these simplified modules to construct Mage Towers is time-consuming and labor-intensive, not to mention difficult.

Since once destroyed, it causes shocks within the Magic Nodes, which take a certain time to stabilize.

If many Magic Nodes simultaneously suffer shocks, it could even result in a Catastrophe.

"As for the other Magic Net professions you mentioned, I am indeed researching them, as you know. But in the short term, it's probably not feasible."

Aleya nodded lightly: "I understand about that, go at your own pace, I'm just conveying an attitude to them. After all, I am from the Beastman clan." Aleya said cautiously.

Zhao Guang stepped forward and embraced her: "Of course I know, don't worry, I won't make things hard for you."

Then Zhao Guang continued: "And doing so benefits me too, by expanding our influence. Once our influence reaches a certain level, we can actually control the entire continent and eliminate our continental wars."

Zhao Guang only mentioned half the intended outcome, which indeed is achievable.

However, the true role of expanding influence, Zhao Guang did not disclose, as it involves faith.

Not telling others is protecting them. Who knows what method the Divine might have to perceive capabilities?

A few days later, Zhao Guang fully resolved this part of the issue, and new Magic Nodes began construction. What surprised Zhao Guang was that not only Beastmen needed them, but Humans did as well.

Especially many small territories realized they could not train Mages.

Therefore, rather than building Mage Towers, it's better to construct such Magic Nodes because these nodes are cheaper.

Even if they have Magic Net professionals in the future, they won't need Mage Towers because there's no need for research. Training powerful Mages is very difficult, but training these Magic Net professionals is much easier.

Even if someone achieves the level of a normal Mage, they might not be willing to undergo formal studies.

Humans tend to be lazy and habitual; once Magic Net professions are developed, they are extremely convenient to use.

It was just that Humans did not expect Beastmen to join in, and once the news was out, everyone became tense. If Beastmen, known for their warlike tendencies, also had a large number of Magic system professionals, it wouldn't be a minor event for them.

Numerous condemning and questioning letters poured into the Xuanwu Kingdom, but Zhao Guang paid them no mind.

Far from repressing the Beastmen, Zhao Guang didn't even care to offer an explanation. As the expanded influence brought him increasingly more Power of Faith, he was immersed in joy.
