Chapter 857 - 809: Promotion, Divine Artifact, All Rewards!
——System Prompt: You have completed the battlefield merit mission "Material Collection of Divine Punishment City." You will receive a reward of 50,000 Divine Realm Merit Points, or a reward of recruiting 500 Command Power troops. Please choose your reward?
No doubt, the second thing Da Fei saw was this line! Oh my god! The two crystal mines that I risked my life to bring back! If they could be transported back to the Mortal World, who knows how many billions of Gold Coins these rare minerals would sell for? But it’s all settled by this one line of system prompt!
Anyway, it just happens to help me return the troops to the British. 500 Command Value can recruit 50 ordinary Angels, even more to spare. This is much more than the 100 Command Power reward I completed during the final battle at home. But the 50,000 merit points, who knows what kind of high official I could get upgraded to? Still, I’m not worried about positions; I have two Demon Army Orders and Uriel’s Ring, and then Essinger will be handed over. These are all merits.
——System Prompt: You chose the reward of 500 Command Value troops!
The garrison officer laughed heartily: "Warrior, your choice is right up my alley. Also, this reward is universally applicable in the Divine Realm, so even if the warrior returns to your world, you can still exchange it with the Mercenary Leader."
Da Fei said joyfully: "Thank you for the reminder, sir."
The Angel Leader also sighed: "Warrior, the promotion of Divine Punishment Crusade must be done after you return, so I deeply regret not being able to witness the birth of a Divine Punishment Warrior. Also, the ’Divine Punishment Crusade Demon Extermination Cross Glory Badge’ you received is my special reward, and it’s the Cross Badge I just used to seal the Demon King. It absorbed the soul power of the Demon King and has the power to enhance equipment. You can embed it into any equipment that can be upgraded. Our blacksmith just happens to have a piece of equipment like this; you can claim this reward. If you’re interested, you can ask the blacksmith to help embed it."
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped; that reminded him of the Blazing Angel Battle Armor that enhances all attributes at the blacksmith’s shop! Surely it’s meant for me, haha, wahaha! It was originally S-level equipment, and with this Cross added, doesn’t it instantly become a Divine Artifact?
Da Fei said joyfully: "Thank you, sir, for the care!"
The Angel Leader laughed: "I seem to feel someone calling me; are they impatient?"
Da Fei immediately took out Uriel’s Ring: "Sir, the reason why our army could transport so many minerals back is inseparable from His Lordship Uriel’s assistance in destroying the mining area!"
The Angel Leader received the ring with great satisfaction: "Uriel’s achievements and faults need to be assessed by the upper echelon of the Divine Realm, but saving Uriel is indeed a significant merit for the warrior, who must be rewarded!"
Only to see the ring in the Angel Leader’s hand flash red, and the system prompt sound again with a ding!
——System Prompt: You have completed Uriel’s mission "Destroy the Demon Flame Crystal Stone Mine," successfully rescued Uriel, and gained Divine Realm Merit +20,000, obtained the Divine Artifact Ring "Uriel’s Flame Angel Ring"!
——Uriel’s Flame Angel Ring: Ring, Divine Artifact. Flame Resistance +10%, Flame Damage Absorption +10, capable of signing an Angel Contract.
Divine Artifact! Another Divine Artifact! Flame resistance and Flame absorption aren’t much, the key is—
Da Fei couldn’t help but ask in surprise: "Sir, what does it mean that this ring can sign an Angel Contract?"
The Angel Leader laughed: "This ring has the ability to preserve an Angel Spirit. As long as you have this ring, you can sign a contract with a Leader-level Angel without having to master God-level Light Magic. Of course, if you master God-level Light Magic, you can continue to sign one more contract. Oh, and the Divine Punishment Crusade can also sign an Angel Contract, which means you can summon up to three Angels at once to help you fight!"
Da Fei’s jaw dropped to the ground in shock: "Summon 3 Angels!"
Oh my god, it turns out I can also sign contracts like Selvia! I didn’t expect the rewards of the Divine Punishment Crusade to include contract signing too! Isn’t that the legendary triple flying?
The garrison officer laughed heartily: "However, the growth of Contract Angels also needs to absorb your experience, and I’m afraid no one can support three Contract Angels at the same time."
Just then, Power Angel Nerxia couldn’t help but shout from behind: "Sir! Sir, sign a contract with me! I’m very smart and obedient!"
Anvil, the quiet Power Angel, was no longer reserved: "Sir, sign a contract with me! My War Axe will sweep away all evil for you!"
Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat—Oh my god! Each one is as proactive as Elifel was back then! What kind of temptation does signing a contract hold for Angels, besides guaranteeing survival? It seems like Demon Banshees also particularly like to strike contracts with Mortals?
The garrison officer laughed heartily: "Worthy of being a warrior, elite under his command is gathered. If it were an average person, I’m afraid it would be hard to find Leader Warriors willing to follow and sign a contract!"
The Angel Leader also laughed: "As long as you can afford it, the benefits of signing a contract are self-evident. At the very least, once you sign with a Leader-level Angel, her Command Power goes to 0, and she doesn’t occupy a tactical position, just like a war machine, it’s completely additional combat power. However, since you haven’t learned Light Magic, you won’t be able to use Angel Possession."
So that’s it! Even if you didn’t enlighten me, I would unhesitatingly sign the contract. What does experience consumption matter? I’ve raised so many Female Heroes, am I afraid of having two more experience-consuming beautiful Angels?
Da Fei couldn’t help but laugh right along: "Sir, you’re too kind! Of course, I will sign the contract!"
He then smiled at the two Angels: "No rush, everyone, I am speaking with the sir right now. Anyway, I have two slots, I will sign contracts with everyone after returning and advancing to the Divine Punishment Crusade!"
Nerxia cheered excitedly, "As expected of you, sir!"
Now let’s get everything done! Da Fei took out two Hell Army Orders once more, "Sir, this is the merit of Miss Elda and me, mainly Miss Elda’s. Without her, we couldn’t have wiped out the enemy army!"
The Angel Commander took the Legion Orders, trembling with excitement, "Yet another complete annihilation of two millennia-old Demon Armies. Warrior! You’ve repeatedly redefined my understanding of genius! Why isn’t a warrior like you in our European world! By submitting these two Legion Orders, your merit will rise by two levels!"
As he spoke, the Angel Commander waved his hand, and a golden light flashed!
——System Prompt: You have submitted the Legion Order numbered as the 3rd Group of the Lava Blood Lake Guard Corps, gaining 36,000 Divine Realm Merit Points. You have submitted the Legion Order numbered as the 1st Group of the Volcanic Flame Crystal Mine Guard Army, gaining 51,500 Divine Realm Merit Points. You have received the appointment to Sixth Tier Angel Commander!
——Sixth Tier Angel Commander: Attack +7, Defense +2, Morale +1, Luck +1, Life +4, Damage +1, Command Power +600. Angel Army Attack +22, Damage +22, Life +22%, Stamina +22%. Requires a cumulative Divine Realm Merit of 150,000.
...
Ha-ha, wa-ha-ha, I’ve been promoted! Rising two levels at once, the advancement in these two ranks not only greatly enhances the Angel Army, but also marks a significant leap in the command of ordinary troops! With this Sixth Tier Angel Commander, granting +4 life to the entire army, plus the Abyss Blood Bottle Divine Artifact I just acquired that adds +3 life to the whole army—in my hands, how many times will the combat effectiveness of a Flower Demon with a basic health of 2 or a Demon Child with a health of 5 increase!
Oh, it’s worth it, I’m so worth it! Wa-ha-ha! Even cannon fodder goes crazy in my hands.
At this point, the Angel Commander hesitated again, "As for Miss Elda, your merit is already on record, but since you were exceptionally promoted last time, according to Divine Realm regulations, you cannot be promoted too quickly; you need to serve your time. I hope Miss Elda understands."
What the heck! Is this really suppressing the Lilith family? Da Fei was stunned, "Aren’t I leveling up quickly?"
The Angel Commander smiled wryly, "The Child of Destiny is naturally different."
Elda’s face darkened, but she still chuckled, "It’s alright, I know the rules." Then she turned to Essinger, "Although I cannot be promoted, it doesn’t affect your return—"
Essinger immediately interrupted, "No, Lady Elda, I am willing to continue following you, hoping you won’t abandon me."
Elda said lightly, "It doesn’t matter!"
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped, should he take this opportunity while she’s feeling down to persuade her to follow him? He hurriedly said, "Miss Elda, those words I said before—"
Elda waved her hand and said sternly, "No talking, let me be quiet!"
Ugh, alright then! Da Fei could already imagine, although her tone was calm on the surface, the anger and discontent in her heart was imaginable.
Just then, the city information chimed:
——Divine Punishment City Announcement: Warm congratulations! The defensive battle of Divine Punishment City has achieved complete victory! All warriors, please return to the city to redeem merit and assess battle achievements!
In an instant, the whole region channel cheered once again.
The Angel Commander smiled, "Alright, warrior, our combat on the battlefield has also fully ended. I need to go welcome the return of other warriors; you can go to the blacksmith to receive the blacksmith’s reward. When you need to return, just find me in the hall!"
The garrison officer also mused, "Warrior, I hope you can stay a little longer and celebrate the victory with all the warriors!"
Da Fei chuckled, "No problem, no problem!"
Then, with a flash of light, the scene changed, and Da Fei was teleported out of the machine room, officially arriving at the Divine Punishment City Square. Perhaps because all the players had been fully deployed to the battlefield, and the reporters all went out to capture frontline footage, the plaza was quite empty.
——System Prompt: You have been teleported to the Divine Punishment City Square, and your troops are automatically stored in the barracks.
That’s right, units can’t enter the city, and under normal circumstances, when a unit is teleported back to the city, it is by default stored in the barracks. This works well, to prevent the British from seeing all the angels I took turning into bosses, which could impede deals we could make.
Now while the European players are not back, I’ll quietly use the rewards to exchange for recruits for them and hurry to claim the equipment, lest it gets crowded!
