Chapter 785 - 746: I’m an Angel Leader Too
In the golden light of the Shining Hall, amidst the exclamations of the crowd of reporters at the door, 12 balls of light condensed into 12 human forms, 12 black-clad, white-winged One-Winged Angels resurrected.
——System Prompt: You gained the followers of 12 One-Winged Angels, Isar, Shazer, Modor, Decker, Umar... They have become your follower citizens.
——System Prompt: You have completed the quest "Redemption of Fallen Angels," gaining +1.3 million experience, +1300 world reputation, and +13,000 Divine Realm Merit.
...
Looking at the whole row of cool, powerful black-clad Thirteen Grand Protectors in the hall, Da Fei eagerly checked their attributes:
——Isar: A former Ancient Angel, captured by the Demon God in the Divine Punishment War ten thousand years ago, ultimately falling from grace, his flesh used by the Demon Race as material to manufacture Flesh Demons against Angels. Now abandoning the flesh and reshaped into a humanoid Third Generation Angel, commencing a prolonged redemption journey.
Non-military NPC units. Attack 41, Defense 37, Damage 50-75, Health 450, Mana 200, Attack Speed 13, Magic Resistance 85%, Stamina 250, Skills: Flying Creature, horizontal slash, heavy weapons, long weapons, Rapid Strike, Crushing Attack, Lethal Strike, Resurrection Technique, Great Healing Technique.
...
These are the new attributes of the One-Winged Angels, the combat special skills are as strong as ever, but in terms of attributes, they aren’t much stronger than ordinary Power Angels? Da Fei checked repeatedly, and this is almost all their attributes. Oh my God, although I knew the later batch couldn’t possibly be as strong as Roger Tal, the difference in strength, especially health, is really a bit unacceptable for Da Fei.
Moreover, standing together, they gave Da Fei a strong sense of discord! Where exactly is the discord? Damn it! That’s right, they’re all men! Not a single woman! How can this not make me frustrated? I say, Angel Leader, you’re doing this deliberately, aren’t you?
At this moment, the Angel Leader spoke again: "Warrior, with your current Divine Realm Merit, you can now obtain an official position in the Divine Realm. Do you plan to promote in rank? If you have this plan, I can now apply for your appointment in the Divine Realm."
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped with excitement, promotion? Indeed, I’ve destroyed the Hell Siege Car and gained 10,000 Divine Realm Merit, and annihilated tens of thousands of demon army under the city gaining another 10,000 Divine Realm Merit, now I’ve also destroyed the Flesh Demon base, it’s time for a promotion.
Generally speaking, when players do quests, they merely pursue "reputation" and "merit". High reputation allows players to recruit more advanced troops in the city and receive more hidden tasks. High merit allows promotion, and consumption of Merit Points to recruit some very special troops from the city. If luck is good, high merit can be exchanged for a rank, and rank means territory. Of course, the Merit Points required to exchange for a rank are impossible to accumulate in the early stages of the game.
Currently, Da Fei’s official position on the human side is a Lieutenant given by completing Makar’s quest, its attributes are quite average, just adding 300 Command Value, and no other special skills. And there are some positions that add skills, for instance, a Logistics Officer directly adds +1 to logistics skill. Also, Procurement Officer, Low-Buy High-Sell Skill +1.
Some positions enhance troop abilities, such as the most popular human Archer Instructor, archer attack +1, though not very significant, but with constant promotions, the archer’s attack bonus will grow bigger, even adding range, which is equivalent to gaining an extra troop specialty. In summary, such officers can allow some non-hero NPC officers to lead troops in achieving remarkable combat strength.
However, being an officer is not easy, promotion isn’t simple either, requiring quite a high amount of Merit Points. Players can pursue through tasks, but it’s advised not to deliberately do merit tasks repetitively, it will make you sick.
Speaking of high-level officials, combined with the mention of advanced armies earlier, one can imagine how powerful Makar’s troop, a Great Duke’s, could be with various boosts. Not to mention the Great Prince of the Dwarf Kingdom. This is the strength of NPC hero forces, which also brings players despair!
Now with the Divine Realm position in front of Da Fei, Da Fei couldn’t help but be tempted! This is the legendary Heavenly Official, not to mention hanging out with many Angel Honeys, but at least elevating my position in Lady Elda’s heart, benefiting in recruiting her!
Alright, since the game has reached this stage, I’ve nothing more to hold back. Da Fei said: "It is my honor to serve the Divine Realm, please Angel Leader recommend me."
The Angel Leader responded with satisfaction: "Currently, the positions available for the Warrior are Angel Commander and Angel Guardian, these positions can be promoted to even higher ranks over time."
Then the list of positions appeared before Da Fei:
——First-tier Angel Commander: Attack +1, Morale +1, Command Power +100. Angel Army Attack +10, Damage +10, Health +10%, Stamina +10%. Requires 30,000 Divine Realm Merit.
——First-level Garrison Officer: Defense +1, Morale +1, Command Power +100. Angel Army Defense +10, Damage +10, Health +10%, Stamina +10%. Requires 30,000 Divine Realm Merit.
Wow, these are entry-level positions, too specialized! If not leading an Angel Army, just a pitiful +1 attack, defense, morale, and 100 command? Isn’t this truly a Broken Wings Lieutenant?
Though the attributes of the position are much stronger than the Archer Instructor, archers can be brought by the thousands, how many angels can be brought? No, the position is too weak, I need to get promoted.
When it comes to promotion, Da Fei instantly recalled something, hurriedly pulling out the Legion Token from the recently annihilated Lava Blood Lake’s 5th group: "Angel Leader, after wiping out an entire Hell Regular Army, how much merit can this earn me?"
The Angel Leader took the Legion Token, and then rejoiced wildly: "Great! This is wonderful! Warrior, can you comprehend the strength of a legion with a ten-thousand-year history as a mortal? For ten thousand years, we’ve had countless battles with various demon legions, both sides gained and lost, but never had the chance to annihilate an entire legion. This is a significant loss for the demons, and a major victory for our army, haha, wahahaha!!!"
Damn, the laughter is shaking the whole hall!
Da Fei suddenly had an idea and quickly said, "Sir, it’s mainly thanks to Lady Elda’s credit, otherwise with just our ten or so troops, it would have been impossible to annihilate a thousand-men team. Of course, it’s also thanks to the Angel Leader for having the insight and talent to request Lady Elda’s assistance..."
As Da Fei spoke, he glanced at Elda and indeed saw her face blushing uncontrollably, looking at him in bewilderment. Haha, my beauty, what are you looking at? I’m praising you!
The Angel Leader was overjoyed and said, "Indeed! It seems that Lady Elda has done a remarkable job, and I must further recognize her contributions! Now, the warrior can choose a new rank."
As he spoke, a golden light shot up from the teleportation array in the hall, and then the system prompt sounded:
—System Prompt: You have submitted the Legion Token of the Lava Blood Lake Guard Corps, Company 5, and gained 44,500 Divine Realm Merit Points! You have been appointed as a Fourth-tier Angel Commander and Fourth-level Garrison Officer. Please select the position you wish to assume:
—Fourth-tier Angel Commander: Attack +5, Morale +1, Life +3, Damage +1, Command Power +400. Angel Army Attack +18, Damage +18, Life +18%, Stamina +18%. Requires 70,000 Divine Realm Merits.
—Fourth-level Garrison Officer: Defense +5, Morale +1, Life +3, Damage +1, Command Power +400. Angel Army Defense +18, Damage +18, Life +18%, Stamina +18%. Requires 70,000 Divine Realm Merits.
Da Fei was suddenly delighted! A three-level promotion all at once! That’s indeed powerful, my Angels can work as four become five! And even if I’m not leading the Angels, just the Life +3, Damage +1 already makes it a god-level attribute for leading low-level soldiers. Truly living up to the name of a celestial office, wahahaha, I love it!
Da Fei unhesitatingly chose the Fourth-tier Angel Commander! I’m also an Angel Commander now!
—System Prompt: You have obtained the Divine Realm rank of Fourth-tier Angel Commander, consuming 70,000 Divine Realm Merit Points!
The Angel Leader comforted him, "Very good, I wish the warrior continuous success. As for Lady Elda, considering your contributions, the Divine Realm exceptionally rewards you with the position of First-tier Angel Commander. Keep up the good work for next time!"
Da Fei and Elda gratefully said, "Thank you, Sir!"
The Angel Leader smiled and said, "By the way, unlike heroes, the attributes of a hero team are covered by the main hero’s attributes, and the main hero’s advanced skills will override the vice hero’s low-level skills. However, the attribute bonuses from ranks can be stacked, so having a strong leadership team is always the best way to ensure combat strength! Now, I must enter the fort core to face the impending threat, and warriors, keep going!"
After speaking, he turned into light and vanished.
Elda respectfully said, "Have a safe journey, Sir!"
My god! Is this still the same Elda who used to act all high and mighty in the bar? Indeed, if you want to keep someone unruly in check, let them hold office. Only when someone experiences the benefits of holding an office will they start following the higher organization’s rules. Given Elda, as a Sin Angel, is so obedient now, if I can’t win her over, then I might as well eat dirt.
And just then, a crowd of reporters rushed over at the door: "Mr. Da Fei, what do you think of the just concluded competition result?"
Da Fei wiggled his finger: "Ask the main question!"
The reporters immediately said, "Mr. Da Fei, have you obtained a Divine Realm position? As we know, you can’t take on tasks below level 50 in the Divine Punishment City, so there’s no way to gain merit points."
Da Fei smiled faintly, "This is the dividing line between experts and novices!"
The reporter pursued, "Mr. Da Fei, could you disclose the attributes of the position you’ve obtained?"
Da Fei laughed, "No problem!"
As Da Fei disclosed the attributes of the Fourth-tier Angel Commander, the reporters on-site cried out, "Fourth-tier, oh my god! It’s actually fourth-tier! How many merit points does this require!"
Aye, I can already imagine the expressions of the European Union players. Come on, strive towards me! Haha, wahahaha!
