Chapter 938: Chapter 470: Awarding Honors_2

Long Dangdang couldn’t help but be deeply moved. Although Xi Che had said it was just a piece of Epic Class equipment, its functionality made it clear that this was no ordinary epic gear for any knight! Under the effect of Divine Defense Tactical Parry, even a 9th Rank Level 3 or even a 9th Rank Level 4 Sacred Legate-level powerhouse would struggle to break through his defenses with a burst attack.

Enveloped in orange-golden light, an indescribable warmth encircled Long Dangdang’s heart, and for some reason, at that instant, a wave of inexplicable emotion welled up inside him, bringing with it waves of warmth. At the same time, he also felt his Heart of Eternity trembling slightly as if responding to this warmth.

Xi Che was the second to approach Ling Menglu, likewise touching her forehead with a finger, bestowing upon her the glory of the Holy Haochen Medal.

At that moment, there was already a badge on Long Dangdang’s left chest that shone like the sun, engraved with a shield resembling a snail’s shell, and a pair of crossed estocs.

Soon, Xi Che finished awarding medals to the six of them. He returned to Long Dangdang and said, "Apart from the rewards from the Federation and the Temple, you will also receive the points rewards promised by the demon hunting team earlier. Moreover, the Demon Hunters Headquarters has decided to grant you the qualifications for a titled rank in advance. Your demon hunting team’s level will be promoted to the highest automatically."

Title Class demon hunting team?

Although he had anticipated that the rewards from the Demon Hunters Headquarters would be substantial, and with the demon hunting team points they’d earned from destroying three wraith altars—three million per person—it was enough for them to be promoted to an Emperor Class demon hunting team. Yet to qualify for Emperor Class, one needed to have a 9th Rank cultivation, which they hadn’t reached. However, he hadn’t expected that the Demon Hunters Headquarters would directly promote their level to Title Class.

To be honest, Long Dangdang and the others didn’t even know what powers a Title Class demon hunting team could possess; the promotion had come too quickly. Under normal circumstances, a Title Class demon hunting team should be attainable only by powerhouses with Sacred Legate abilities who had made significant contributions to the Federation.

They certainly had made significant contributions this time, but their cultivation was indeed lacking.

"Commander, is this...?" Long Dangdang couldn’t help but ask.

Xi Che smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "This is what you deserve. The feats you have accomplished, I believe, may not even be within the capabilities of a Title Class demon hunting team. The most important thing is that you have returned safely. That’s why it is an exception. Now, what you need to do is to think of a title for your demon hunting team. There’s no rush; just report it to the Demon Hunters Headquarters once you’ve decided."

Before Long Dangdang could speak, Ling Menglu suddenly said from the side, "Commander, we’ve already thought of a title for our demon hunting team."

Xi Che was taken aback and couldn’t help but chuckle, "It seems you are quite confident in yourselves! Have you even decided on a title beforehand?"

Ling Menglu nodded earnestly, "Our demon hunting team’s title is Overhanging Bright Moon."

Upon hearing this, Long Dangdang’s heart trembled, and different emotions shimmered in the eyes of his companions. It was as though space remained, but now it’s become part of the past..., yet she insisted on this name.

"Yes, it’s Overhanging Bright Moon," Ming Xi took a step forward, echoing the statement.

The others also nodded firmly, affirming the title Ling Menglu had spoken.

Long Dangdang’s eyes immediately moistened. He understood what his companions meant; they were using this way to tell him that although Kongkong was now standing on the opposing side, they had never given up on him and still regarded him as a member of the demon hunting team.

Xi Che looked at Long Dangdang, "What did the leader say?"

Long Dangdang took a deep breath and said, "Alright, let’s call it the Overhanging Bright Moon demon hunting team."

Xi Che nodded and said, "Very well, I will file a report for you with the Demon Hunters Headquarters. In addition to the rewards, you can also join the military meeting today and listen in from the side."

"Yes, Commander," the six of them saluted together. Led by an Adamantine Cathedra knight who had brought them medals, they took their places at a forward position on one side.

Whether it was by cultivation or by the ranking of the Luminous Knights Order among the six temples, by rights they should have stood at the rear. However, the glory of a Title Class demon hunting team was different. A Title Class demon hunting team signified a true hero of the Federation, a status that could not be measured by strength alone. In any Federation occasion, a Title Class demon hunting team held an exceptional status.

Overhanging Bright Moon, Tao Linlin, "Although I guessed that one day we would reach this step, I really didn’t think that everything would come so quickly."

Overhanging Bright Moon, Ming Xi: "Isn’t that so? To be titled just like that? It really is too fast."

Overhanging Bright Moon, Long Dangdang, "We’re in a meeting, focus."

Xi Che by this time had returned to his command seat, the smile on his face fading, becoming serious once again.

"According to a message from Demon Hunters Headquarters, one hundred and sixty kilometers to the north, there is a wraith altar closest to us. With the contraction of wraith energy, the wraith legion has begun to withdraw, and it is in this direction. Our next task is to conquer this demon hunting team. From the start of the war until now, we can almost confirm that wraith altars are the lifeline of the Wraith Empire. To eradicate the Wraith Empire completely, we need to destroy all wraith altars. Each time one is destroyed, the overall strength of the Wraith Empire will be weakened accordingly. The first, sixth, eighth, and eleventh legions of Warriors Temple, along with four silver-badge assassin squads from the Assassins Temple, will guard, while Priests Temple begins establishing a frontline light source array. The large army will advance simultaneously toward the Wraith Kingdom, always ready for battle."

"Although at present, it looks like the Wraith Kingdom is contracting, whether it will counterattack when reaching the wraith altar is difficult to predict. All departments should be prepared to adapt. Move out immediately!"

Long Dangdang realized what was happening. The large army was indeed about to move again, taking advantage of the opportunity with the weakened wraith energy to continuously compress the living space of wraith entities. This operation seemed to have been planned already, and now was the time for a pre-battle mobilization and the announcement to set off.

"Yes!" All the commanders responded in unison."

"Dangdang, stay behind," Xi Che commanded after declaring the military meeting over, leaving only Long Dangdang and the members of the Overhanging Bright Moon demon hunting team. He personally took Long Dangdang to take over the Luminous Knights Order.

The Luminous Knights Order, having been chosen with Divine Luminous faith as a top priority, had its leadership position, until now, held personally by Xi Che himself, signifying his direct command over the knights. A deputy leader led them on a day-to-day basis.

The reason Xi Che placed Long Dangdang and the others in the Luminous Knights Order was a decision he made after deep thought. On the battlefield, it’s not easy to assume command over a military force as a high-level officer on short notice. The Luminous Knights Order being his direct command would certainly avoid any overt compliance and covert defiance. Moreover, he considered that Long Dangdang’s luminous attribute and innate inner spiritual power exceeded even a prodigy of Luminosity, and Ling Menglu was even more so, with a Light God’s Physique surpassing a hundred. Just this talent alone would be enough to win their affection among the Luminous Knights. That’s why he made such a choice. He also hoped that his direct command would grow stronger under the leadership of Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu. Obviously, these two would not be confined to this position forever. When they ascended to higher ranks, it would naturally be greatly beneficial to the Luminous Knights Order.

Xi Che, leaving his guards behind, led Long Dangdang and the six others out of the command tent, heading straight for the direction of the left camp.

Before reaching the camp, they were already able to sense the rich light element fluctuations within that area, not emanating from the knights, but coming from the light source array protected by the Luminous Knights Order.
