Sealed Divine Throne II: Twin Sons of Dragon
Chapter 937 - 470: Awarding Honors

Chapter 937: Chapter 470: Awarding Honors

This time, the Federation directly awarded medals to all members of Long Dangdang’s squad. It was essentially confirmation that, upon their advancement to the 9th Rank, they would assume the status of Sacred Legate. If the Sacred Legates were at full capacity, they would exercise the powers of the Sacred Legate through their medals. It could be said that six additional Sacred Legates were effectively added. Remember, one Temple only has six Sacred Legates!

Therefore, when the gathered commanders heard that Long Dangdang and his team were all awarded the Holy Haochen Medal, they were all shocked. From the start of the great battle against the Wraith Kingdom by the Federation’s Legion to now, many powerful experts from the 6 Great Sacred Temples had made significant achievements, yet not a single Holy Haochen Medal had been awarded. This time, however, six were awarded at once, which was indeed shocking.

But no one questioned it. Although the Federation’s Legion had also destroyed wraith altars, that was the result of the collective efforts of many powerful experts from the entire army. Yet Long Dangdang and his team had ventured deep into enemy territory, risking their lives to destroy three altars, an endeavor that was completely different in terms of difficulty. They had significantly weakened the Wraith Kingdom and created excellent conditions for the Federation’s Legion to continue advancing.

Additionally, Long Dangdang and his team’s receipt of the Holy Haochen Badge was directly related to their prominent rankings in the Great Impartation Contest, which was already a scheme by the Federation and the Temple to prepare their successors. Particularly for Long Dangdang, not only was he the champion of the Great Impartation Contest, he had also activated the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex, although this was only known within the Temple. In reality, aren’t the major decisions of the Federation determined by the Temple? Since he activated the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex, the Knights Temple’s support for him had reached an unprecedented intensity.

Therefore, this highest honor was conferred. Additionally, Long Dangdang was appointed as the Commander of the Luminous Knights Order.

The Knights Temple has a total of ten knight orders, among which two are nominal: the Adamantine Cathedra Knight Order and the Mithril Cathedra Knight Order. These two knight orders have always existed in name, but in reality, it is impossible to gather all the Adamantine Cathedra knights and Mithril Cathedra knights to form actual orders; some are demon hunters, and others hold high positions in other knight orders as commanders. Thus, in reality, only eight knight orders are permanently stationed at the Knights Temple.

These include the Earth Dragon Knight Order, griffin knight brigade, Sky Knights Order, and other powerful knight orders. Each knight order has its own exclusive badge and special ability. Among the eight great knight orders, the Luminous Knights Order ranks sixth. However, its existence carries an extraordinary significance.

The Luminous Knights Order’s motto is "Where there is Luminosity, justice is limitless." Every member of the Luminous Knights Order must undergo strict screening and are the most righteous knights of the Knights Temple. The Luminous Knights Order requires that all knights’ innate light attribute spiritual power must not be less than fifty.

This figure may seem incomparable to geniuses like Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu. However, in reality, innate inner spiritual power of fifty indicates at least the talent to reach the 7th Rank paladin or higher, which is already considerably above average among many professionists and signifies the potential to enter the Temple Academy Headquarters.

Furthermore, the Luminous Knights Order also requires that each knight’s cultivation must not be below the 4th Rank and only after numerous assessments could one possibly serve in the Luminous Knights Order. The Luminous Knights Order consists of three thousand official knights and two thousand reservist knights. Every member is conferred the title of Luminous Knight, a very high honor within the Knights Temple, symbolizing the knight’s devotion to luminosity.

Therefore, although in terms of overall strength, the Luminous Knights Order is not considered very strong, within the Knights Temple, everyone knows that the Luminous Knights Order is one of the core knight orders of the Knights Temple, historically having produced many Sacred Legates.

Without having served in the military, Long Dangdang was directly appointed as the Commander of the Luminous Knights Order, a distinction that just shows how much the Knights Temple values him. It is known that all previous commanders of the Luminous Knights Order have been 9th Rank powerful experts. He is also the youngest Commander of the Luminous Knights Order in the history of the Knights Temple.

Compared to the previous two, the tens of millions of merits seemed insignificant. Of course, such an abundance of military exploits would allow Long Dangdang and his companions to swap their muskets for cannons once again in the army’s treasure trove.

"Yes!" Long Dangdang saluted once more.

Two Adamantine Cathedra knights clad in Adamantine Cathedra battle armor stepped forward from one side, each holding a tray covered with a red velvet cloth. They positioned themselves on either side of Supreme Commander Xi Che.

A smile finally appeared on Xi Che’s face, "Now, I will confer the medals upon you."

As he spoke, he first approached Long Dangdang. In the next instant, a dazzling Divine Light shot out from a tray behind him. A potent luminous aura suddenly surged from Xi Che’s body, and he pointed his right hand above Long Dangdang’s head. Immediately, a cluster of orange-gold light appeared above Long Dangdang’s head. Following this, the orange-gold descended from the heavens, landing on him, transforming into a clear light shield.

Xi Che transmitted sound, "The Holy Haochen Badge, each one contains the divine power left by the first chairman of the Federation, Chairman Long Haochen. It will protect you through thorny paths and barriers. In times of peril, it will produce an absolute defense for you, resisting enemies for three seconds. The defensive power is equivalent to three times your total spiritual power and can stack with Divine Defense Tactical Block, with a cooldown of twenty-four hours. Thus, it itself is an Epic Class equipment."
