Chapter 786 - 746: I’m an Angel Leader Too
In the golden light of the Shining Hall, amid the exclamations of journalists at the door, 12 light balls condensed into 12 humanoid figures, and 12 black-clad, white-winged One-Winged Angels were reborn.
——System Prompt: You have gained the allegiance 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 Points.
...
Looking at this impressive lineup of black-clad Thirteen Grand Protectors in the hall, Da Fei couldn’t wait to check their attributes:
——Isar: Once an Ancient Angel, was captured by the Demon God in the Divine Punishment War ten thousand years ago and ultimately fell. His body was used as material by the Demon Race to create Flesh Demons that counter angels. Now, having abandoned the physical form and reshaped into the humanoid Third Generation Angel, he begins a long road of redemption.
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.
...
So these are the new attributes of the reborn One-Winged Angels. The combat special skills remain powerful as ever, but the overall attributes aren’t much stronger than an ordinary Power Angel? Da Fei checked repeatedly and found these are pretty much the attributes. Good grief, while knowing these later ones couldn’t possibly be as strong as Roger Tal, the difference in power, especially in health, is a bit difficult for Da Fei to accept.
Moreover, when they stand together, Da Fei felt a strong sense of discord! What’s causing this discord? Damn! Right, they’re all male! Not a single female among them! How could this not be exasperating for me? Angel Leader, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?
At this moment, the Angel Leader spoke again: "Warrior, your current Divine Realm Merit Points can earn you a position in the Divine Realm. Do you intend to promote to an official post? If so, I can apply for your appointment to the Divine Realm immediately."
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, a promotion? Indeed, destroying siege cars of Hell earned me 10,000 Divine Realm Merit Points, and slaying tens of thousands of the Demon Army under the city earned me another 10,000. Now, having destroyed the Flesh Demon base, it’s time for a promotion.
Typically, players pursue "reputation" and "merit" through tasks. High reputation allows players to recruit more and higher-level troops in the city and undertake more hidden quests. High merit points enable promotion and the use of merit points to recruit some very special troops from the city. If lucky, high merits can be exchanged for titles, and a title means territory. Of course, the merit points needed for title exchange are not something that can be accumulated in the early stages of the game.
Currently, Da Fei’s position among humans is that of a lieutenant obtained through Makar’s task. This position’s attributes are very ordinary, just adding 300 Command Value, with no other special skills. Some positions add special skills, such as the Logistics Officer, which directly adds +1 to Logistics Skills. There is also a Procurement Officer, which adds +1 to Low-Buy High-Sell Skill.
Some positions add troop abilities, like the most popular archer instructor among humans, increasing archer attack by +1. Although the effect is not very significant, as one continues to get promoted, the archer’s attack bonus increases, and even range increases, equivalent to gaining an extra troop specialty. Overall, such positions enable non-hero NPC officers to lead troops with considerable combat power.
However, being an officer is not that easy, and promotion isn’t simple, requiring relatively high merit points. Players can pursue this through tasks, but it’s suggested not to intentionally farm merit tasks repeatedly, as it’ll become exhausting.
Speaking of high-level officials, combined with the previously mentioned Advanced Army, one can imagine how formidable the forces of Great Dukes like Makar, with all sorts of bonuses, would be. Not to mention the Great Prince of the Dwarf Kingdom. This is the might of NPC hero forces or what drives players to despair.
Now, with the Divine Realm position laid before Da Fei, he’s truly tempted! This is the legendary Heavenly Official! It would mean not just playing around with many Angel Honeys but also raising his status in Lady Elda’s eyes, making it easier to win her over!
Alright, the game has progressed to this step; I have nothing to hold back. Da Fei said, "It is my honor to serve the Divine Realm, please introduce me, Angel Leader."
The Angel Leader said contentedly: "Currently, the positions warrior can assume are Angel Leader and Angel Guardian. These two ranks, when upgraded to a certain level, can receive even higher-level positions."
The position list then appeared before Da Fei:
——First-tier Angel Leader: Attack +1, Morale +1, Command Power +100. Angel Army Attack +10, Damage +10, Health +10%, Stamina +10%. Requires 30,000 Divine Realm Merit Points.
——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 Points.
Huh, these are the first-tier positions, so specific! If not leading the Angel Army, it only gives a measly +1 to attack, defense, and morale and 100 Command Power? Isn’t this just a Broken Wings Lieutenant?
Although the attributes of these positions are much stronger than an archer instructor, the archer can lead thousands, how many can an angel lead? No, these ranks are too weak, I want a promotion.
Thinking of promotion, Da Fei suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out the Legion Token from the recently annihilated fifth unit of the Lava Blood Lake Guard Corps: "Angel Leader, I annihilated a whole Hell Regular Army unit; how much meritorious service does that earn?"
The Angel Leader took the Legion Token, and with a delighted surprise, exclaimed: "Good! So good! Warrior, as a mortal, can you comprehend the might of a legion with a history spanning ten thousand years? Over these ten thousand years, there have been countless battles between us and various Demon Armies, with mutual gains and losses. Yet, there’s never been an opportunity to completely annihilate a legion! This is a significant loss to the demons and a major victory for our army, hahaha, wahahaha!!!"
Oh my gosh, the laughter is so wild the whole hall is shaking!
Da Fei suddenly had a thought and hurriedly said, "Sir, the main credit belongs to Lady Elda, otherwise, with just the ten of us, we couldn’t possibly annihilate a thousand-man group. Of course, it’s also because the Angel Leader has the wisdom to recognize talent and assigned Lady Elda..."
As Da Fei spoke, he glanced over at Elda, and indeed, she was looking at him, blushing and at a loss. Haha, my beauty, why are you looking? I’m praising you!
The Angel Leader was overjoyed and said, "Indeed! It seems Lady Elda has made great contributions, and I must commend her achievements! Now the warrior can choose a new rank."
As they 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 5th Regiment of the Lava Blood Lake Guard Corps and gained 44,500 Divine Realm Merit Points! You have received appointments as a Fourth-tier Angel Commander and Fourth-level Garrison Officer. Please select the position you wish to take:
——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 Merit Points.
——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 Merit Points.
Da Fei was suddenly overjoyed! Leveling up three ranks in a row! It’s indeed much more powerful, my angels are like four doing the work of five! And even if not leading angels, the Life +3 and Damage +1 are god-level attributes for leading Low-level Soldiers in battle, no wonder it’s a heavenly position, wahahaha, I love it!
Without hesitation, Da Fei chose the Fourth-tier Angel Commander! I’m an Angel Commander too now!
——System Prompt: You have been appointed to the Divine Realm Fourth-tier Angel Commander position, consuming 70,000 Divine Realm Merit Points!
The Angel Leader was relieved and said, "Very well, wishing the warrior continued success. Lady Elda, in light of your merits, the Divine Realm has exceptionally rewarded you with a First-tier Angel Commander position, hoping you strive harder next time!"
Da Fei and Elda both happily said, "Thank you, sir!"
The Angel Leader laughed and said, "By the way, warrior, unlike heroes, the attributes of a hero team are overridden by the commanding hero’s attributes, and the commander’s advanced skills will override subordinate heroes’ basic skills. However, the attribute bonuses of rank can be stacked, so having a strong leadership team is always the best mode to ensure combat effectiveness! Alright, I must now head to the fortress center to face the upcoming threat, warriors keep up the good work!"
With that, he turned into a light and disappeared.
Elda was very respectful and said, "Farewell, sir!"
Oh my gosh! Is this still the Elda who was flying arrogantly in the bar earlier? Indeed, to stabilize a rebellious person, you make them an official. Only by becoming an official, knowing the perks of being one, will they comply with higher-ups. If, as a Sin Angel, Elda can be this compliant, if I can’t win her over, I might as well eat dirt.
Just then, a group of reporters rushed in at the entrance: "Mr. Da Fei, what do you think about the results of the recent competition?"
Da Fei laughed heartily, shaking his finger, "Ask something important!"
The reporters immediately asked, "Mr. Da Fei, did you obtain a position in the Divine Realm? As we know, Divine Punishment City doesn’t allow task-taking before level 50, so there’s no way to earn Merit Points."
Da Fei smiled faintly, "This is the dividing line between masters and amateurs!"
Reporters followed up, "Mr. Da Fei, can you reveal the attributes of the position you acquired?"
Da Fei said with a smile, "No problem!"
As Da Fei revealed the properties of the Fourth-tier Angel Commander, all the reporters exclaimed, "Fourth-tier, oh my! It’s actually Fourth-tier! How much Merit Points would that require!"
Oh, I can already imagine the expressions of European Union players, come on, strive towards me! Haha, wahahahaha!
