Chapter 46

45. Order Hall (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Disengaging Myriad Spirit Disturbance, Li Ang took a light breath. Because he relied on the temporary energy source, the magic power storage required for him to activate his Ultimate was nearly half less than before, and this time it didn't take much effort.

After his ranking in the Soul Apex rose higher and higher, he hadn't fought against such ordinary forces' armies for a long time. It was rare to bully the weak, and he felt that winning was a bit too easy.

This group of Imperial troops mainly relied on that strange bow cannon's lethality against the Star Soul; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to survive Eden's attacks.

Taking the megaphone, he shouted to the remaining Imperial soldiers: "You are all captured now, drop your weapons."

The soldiers were dejected. The medics in the cabin came out to reset their dislocated limbs; some were carried on stretchers, and very few could move normally.

It took some effort to bring the four ships together. Afterward, Li Ang's large ship turned back to capture the people from the ship that had lost power earlier.

The soldiers were all concentrated on one ship, its armament and the Spirit Cores in the power furnace were removed, and it was towed forward by Li Ang's large ship, while the large ship was filled with the still-intact equipment and arcane guns seized from the other ships.

Only the Bean-person commander was left on the large ship. Li Ang tied him up in the cabin and walked to the bow.

Disengaging the surrounding Wall of Ice, Eden flew near the large ship, and Zoe jumped directly onto the deck.

"Wow, Li Ang, you are too... I mean, how did you do that, to be able to do this..."

Zoe was like a kitten who had seen too many toys and didn't know what to do, extremely excited. Her language was really disorganized, so she adopted action, giving Li Ang a forceful hug; it seemed only this could vent her happiness.

She had never seen a flying boat before, let alone this sci-fi-colored arcane flying ship. She ran around the ship several times in her little leather boots, wanting to touch everything she saw, and even jumped onto those arcane turrets to fiddle with them, shouting and screaming because she pulled the trigger and fired shells.

The ship being towed behind was quite far away, and many soldiers had gone to lie down in the cabin. Zoe was wearing a helmet and equipment, so her appearance and gender wouldn't be seen clearly, so Li Ang let her go wild.

She came back spiritedly holding an arcane gun and asked: "Is this ship ours from now on? I see those cannons on the side seem very powerful. Next time we encounter a monster like a Wyvern, I want to use this to hit it directly!"

"No, this ship only looks strong. Our future ship must be even more powerful than this."

"Wow!" The young girl was expectant, yet seemed a bit regretful because she couldn't use the arcane cannon to hit a Wyvern.

Li Ang smiled: "You'll have plenty of opportunities to use the turrets to hit flying monsters in the future. Wyverns often attack the routes of flying boats in groups."

"That's great!"

Zoe gestured with her fists and feet: "Daring to throw me into the Scarlet Earth, I'll make them pay when I see them in the future."

The young girl asked again: "When will we have a ship?"

"No rush. After registering the team, we'll go to the Island of Rudders to take a look. However, to build a good ship, we might still need to earn a little more money."

"Money?"

The young girl fell into thought.

She had also stayed outside Satus Island when she was a child and had seen those messy books of her mother's, knowing about money and goods transactions, but she had no concept of purchasing power.

"Can't those beautiful stones in Xiao An's body be exchanged? They are so beautiful, I can't bear to."

"To exchange for the most ideal ship, it might still not be enough."

"Money..." Zoe thought for a while, then asked softly: "Where in this world has the most money?"

"Banks."

The young girl nodded and said nothing more, seemingly lost in her own unique thoughts.

"I have to say something."

Li Ang said to Zoe and Eden, who was flying near the bow: "We'll take a slight detour."

"Ah? Why?"

Zoe had no objections, simply asking for the reason.

"These guys," Li Ang pointed to the flying ship and those Imperial soldiers, "we can't take them to Frost Sky Island. Their best destination is the Guild's Order Hall."

"What kind of place is that?"

"Simply put, it's the place responsible for capturing and detaining criminals."

As the advocate of the current order in the various airspaces, the Sky Knight Guild also has the force to maintain order.

The Guild's power organ, the "Knight Resolution Council," is responsible for revising laws and administration. It is composed of the team leaders of the top four Sky Teams and the top ten individual Sky Knights, and one Speaker is elected to preside and represent.

Outside the Knight Resolution Council, there is a special institution named the "Order Sky Knight Corps," responsible for judicial and supervisory work.

It can be said to be the most special Sky Knight Corps in the entire sky, with numerous members and excellent average strength, and the elites among them are no less than the members of the Sky Teams.

And in larger guild offices, there are also Order Halls established by the Order Sky Knight Corps, which can be seen as police stations.

After explaining the positioning of the Order Hall to the young girl, he didn't expect her to pout: "So there are still people in the sky who meddle in other people's business. Don't let them catch me one day."

"Hey, what on earth are you thinking to directly treat people as hypothetical enemies? How come you've already started thinking about being caught?"

Li Ang wanted to pinch her face, but she dodged it with two backward jumps and then made a face at him with a smile.

Thus, Li Ang set the course of the flying ship toward the nearest Order Hall location.

Zoe didn't care; anyway, she would watch anything she saw with curiosity, and Eden also agreed to bring these people to justice before considering anything else, because this might involve Zoe's future safety.

After the direction was set, Li Ang still let Zoe return to Eden's back, while he went into the cabin to drag the Bean-person commander in front of him.

"Alright, let's chat."

"Chat, chat about what? I admit defeat this time, but that doesn't mean the Empire will fear you. The rise of the Empire is already unstoppable."

"Where are you from? Why do you work for the Empire?" Li Ang asked: "If the Imperial capital is the Chalk Fortress, as far as I know, there are very few residents there, and it has been desolate for a long time. How did it suddenly rise?"

"The Emperor's brilliance shines in all directions. All who are called by him are willing to become a glorious part of the Empire."

"Where did he call you from?"

"My hometown, Vitum. When the Emperor toured, his demeanor and ideals shocked me greatly, making me understand what a Sporell person is. Our ordinary lives will contribute value to the rise of the Sporell people."

"Oh, the Craft Island, he ran quite far."

Li Ang pondered the term "tour" in his heart. A so-called tour should only count if it's within one's own territory. Is the Craft Island Imperial territory? He had never heard of this concept before. In his impression, the islands of the Ignis Airspace should all be independent territories.

In short, this Imperial Emperor seems to have been planning for a long time.

What kind of power he has and what his true purpose is, these ordinary officers wouldn't know.

The Bean-person officer started chanting about Imperial glory again, so Li Ang left the cabin.

At this moment, the sky was already glowing with the faint light before dawn.

After leaving Satus Island, there was chasing and fleeing, counterattacking, and the trouble of dealing with the captured soldiers; a long time had already passed.

Satus Island is located in the southeast corner of the Floss Airspace, and it is also the easternmost point of all airspaces. Further east is the impassable chaotic basin, and the Ignis Airspace can be reached at a very close distance to the south. Compared with other islands, the Order Hall of the Ignis Airspace is actually the closest.

Following the sky map and crossing some small and medium-sized sky islands, at dawn, the arcane flying ship reached the entrance of the channel between the Floss Airspace and the Ignis Airspace.

Li Ang let Zoe and Eden come onto the ship, lest the giant wolf's appearance cause a commotion.

However, what Li Ang didn't expect was that outside the channel between the two airspaces, a large number of flying boats were hovering.

At the entrance of the channel, two groups of people were confronting each other. One group could be recognized as people from the Order Sky Knight Corps just from their standard defensive gear. They were few in number, only five in total, standing at the bow of their medium-sized flying boat.

The people from the Order Sky Knight Corps discovered the new ship's arrival, and the leader immediately boarded a single-person small flying boat and flew directly to the front.

As soon as he saw Li Ang, he immediately stopped the boat, landed on the deck, took a few big strides over, and grabbed Li Ang's shoulder.

"Good fellow, I've caught you. Now I can report back to the young lady."
