'That's, a lot of spells, more than I was expecting.'
"Well I should probably get my troops now."
Saying that he started heading to the weird altar-like structure in the middle of the right side of the courtyard.
The altar was gray, with a big circle in the middle that seemed to be glowing, letting off a mixture of black and white.
It was in the middle of a square that had pillars with spearhead tops on it's corners, giving it a strange feel.
As he entered the square outlined with rocks, a panel appeared in front of Apeiros.
[One batch of troops are ready. Summon now?]
"Yes"
[Please select your troops]
[Not Set]
[Mage Priest]
[Dwarven Laborer]
[Total Troops: 0/30]
'Sigh, I forgot to name them.'
"System change the name 'Not Set', to 'Scientia Warriors'
[Change confirmed]
[Please choose your troops]
After thinking for a bit, Apeiros decided on,"15 Scientia Warriors, 10 Dwarven Laborers, and 5 Mage Priests."
[Please choose the starting equipment for 'Scientia Warriors']
[Sword-main]
[Spear-main]
[Staff-main]

[Choice has been set as default]
[Summoning now]
A White colored magic circle appeared around the altar, and from it, white silhouettes came out, then the circle disappeared and the white faded, and there stood Apeiros's first troops.
His Scientia Warriors were dressed completely in brown, except for their mask and cloak which were a dark green, showing only their eyes, obscured by the cloak and on their hips was a sheathed stone sword, a water flask, and a small knife, which surprisingly, was made of iron.
On their backs hung stone axes, and their feet and hands were covered in leather boots and fingerless gloves, respectively.
On their left were the Mage priests, dressed in blue robes with stripes of white on them, along with a wooden staff that had a yellow crystal on top seemingly wrapped with wood crawling on it.
On their Right were the Dwarven laborers, 140 cm's tall, and bulging with muscle. They were holding axes in their right hands and pickaxes with their left, they also had a small hammer and some rope hanging from their hips.
After coming fully into view, they knelt, "We pledge our undying loyalty to you, Lord Voidborn, please give us our commands." They proclaimed.
"You can call me Verum" Apeiros, now Verum replied.
"As you wish my Lord." They bowed their heads and said.
"I don't have any orders for you right now dwarves, go do as you wish, you are dismissed."
The dwarves listened, bowed, got up and went away.
"Mages and warriors, follow me."
Verum then started walking towards a door opposite to the altar.
[Training hall] [Tier 1]
[Allows units to become more proficient in battle]
[Can make units stronger by a small margin]
[Upgrade: 2000 wood, 1000 stone, 5 silver]
The inside of the hall was quite empty, save for some dummies in the corner, a rack filled with wooden weapons, an archery range, and a sparring ring.
Verum lead his mages to the dummies.
"Cast flamethrower on them, one by one, warriors activate your true observance and try to learn it."
True observance was a passive skill that required only some concentration to activate, and had no time limit to how long it could be kept activated. That made it a very, very, broken skill.
The first mage pointed the tip of his wand towards the dummies, and to an outside observer, they would see a red colored magic circle appear and flames gush out from it, but Verum and his warriors saw the flow of mana channeling through the mage's body, into the wand, and finally shoot out from the tip.
They could see the mana changing from grey to orange as it heated up, as it ran into the circle, manifesting into the spell called 'Flamethrower'.
"Stop." Verum said, and the second mage preparing to fire lowered his wand and bowed.
"Do not bow for such trivial matters." He ordered, to which all present replied with "Yes, Lord Verum."
Verum motioned for a warrior to come over. "Can you cast it now?" He asked.
"Yes sir!"
"Show me."
The warrior responded to him by shooting flames out of his hands without a magic circle appearing, though his flames were weaker than the mage's, It was still successful.
"Very good, now I w-"
At that moment the system started making announcements.
