Reasonable Arrest\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, that's how it should have been.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot said with disbelief: \"Do you know? They produced a treaty document showing that eight hundred years ago, there was indeed an empire whose territory covered most of the Ignis airspace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this treaty stipulated that if more than half of the lords did not vote to end the empire, it would continue indefinitely. So, what these people mean is that the empire still exists today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Voting? Aren't they an empire?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's called that, but I feel it's even looser than the Federation.\" Lancelot shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think I understand. After the imperial power declined, the various lords developed on their own, so the empire effectively ended, just without a formal announcement. But now, an emperor who wants to restore authority has suddenly popped up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang mentioned the emperor that these people kept emphasizing, and Lancelot said he had noticed the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another strange point was that if the Ignis airspace had always held the concept of the \"Holy Spirel Empire,\" then even if the imperial power had declined, there should still have been an emperor; it shouldn't have been the case that even Sky Knights of Li Ang and Lancelot's level had never heard of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot said: \"The Guild has always respected the sovereignty of each island. After all, this empire is five hundred years older than the Guild. If it really wants to claim a resurgence, the Guild won't interfere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I contacted our branch's station about this matter, and that's how I learned the empire is also taking action in other parts of the Ignis airspace. The people at the station then spent half a day asking the headquarters for instructions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newbis's communicators are not very convenient, far worse than telephones. Similar to the ship-borne beacons Li Ang used before, they are made of special ore called sound-signal stones and are divided into sub-stones and master-stones. The sound wave vibrations received by the sub-stone are reproduced on the master-stone, thereby transmitting sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The larger the master-stone, the further the receiver can receive information. The longest communication distance is about five or six thousand kilometers, spanning the range of an entire airspace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, sound can only be transmitted between one set of sound-signal stones; there is no ability to dial by number like a telephone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the opinion of the Order Sky Knight Corps headquarters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They said the empire's other actions are open to debate, but the forced blockade of shipping lanes cannot be allowed and must be cleared as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Order Sky Knight Corps headquarters probably does not yet know that the imperial army is massacring civilians and indiscriminately attacking neutral passenger routes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you're just watching here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of the empire's meddling, the whole corps has been deployed; no one is coming to help me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without reinforcements, you can't handle the other side yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not... sigh, look for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot pointed at the imperial forces. The person in the lead had a high-spirited aura, accompanied by a griffin summon, and the equipment on his body had faint magical rhythms around it, indicating the powerful spirituality it contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, you can't beat him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The truth is sometimes sharper than the ice in the Gorasis airspace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot smiled bitterly: \"I'm just someone working for a fixed salary. My equipment is provided by the Guild. It's not like you guys in the top corps who scavenge everywhere—uh, no, I mean collect good things from ancient civilizations everywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang nodded; what he said made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Lancelot Dubois]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Race: Human]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Profession: Gun-Swordsman, Rank 7.

Usually, it is Rank 6, the highest tier of the Transcendent realm. The summons are also pterosaurs specially tamed by the Guild; these are monsters with high power ranks that can be tamed in batches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is enough to mediate disputes in the vast majority of regions. If there really is a strong enemy, then stronger Corps Commanders or Vice Commanders will come to resolve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, that Corps Commander, the young lady, has a special profession with hidden inheritance; she can freely manipulate a bunch of weapons to float and form arrays, which has a bit of the flavor of an Eastern Sword Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot's panel fully displays his personal achievements in professional hard work, but his equipment appears less than spectacular in front of other top corps members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he was only patrolling with four non-elite Order Sky Knight Corps members, while the people on the other side were truly decked out in equipment superior to his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that person on the imperial side was one level higher in terms of hardware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Winders Finat]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Race: Human]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Profession: Lancer, Rank 6]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Summon: Griffin (Leader-class), Rank 6]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Energy Source: Wind-Chaser Holy Bell, Rank 7]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Equipment: Heavenly Demon Heavy Halberd, Rank 7.

The spirituality of the Excellent realm can use magic to temporarily create matter and energy that do not exist in the world itself. The strength of this matter will surpass existing matter, and matter and energy shaped by the Transcendent realm take a long time to wear down and break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even if Lancelot's personal skills exceed the opponent's, he judged that he could not fight him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank 7 equipment is the main equipment for the front-line top corps; it is by relying on them that the top corps can stand proudly above the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one wants to craft equipment of this level, it requires the world's top master craftsmen and the rarest tier of materials. The output is not high, and most of it comes from ancient ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, because the system can assist in equipment manufacturing and has a trend where one can even casually manufacture equipment higher than Rank 7 as long as enough materials are gathered, Li Ang felt it was particularly amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, that guy's whole outfit is very consistent; it's all wind-attributed, and even his summon is too. He definitely won't be easy to deal with,\" Lancelot said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't see the panel, so before actually fighting, he didn't know that because the opponent's professional skills hadn't entered the Excellent realm, it actually dragged down the effect of his divine gear, resulting in a combat power increase of only 7%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang patted Lancelot on the shoulder: \"I'll buff you, you go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot looked at him in silence for a few seconds, his face revealing an expression of \"Are you trying to set me up?\" But the person in front of him was a powerful support, so saying such things was reasonable and logical, and he couldn't think of what was wrong with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang continued: \"He has ordinary soldiers behind him. We'll capture him and send him to the Order Hall along with the soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you talk like that, I'll think you want to join the Order Sky Knight Corps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot said: \"You and I join forces to repel him, first clear the shipping lane, then our Flame Corps will rendezvous, and then we can discuss the opinion on the empire with the headquarters. This is executable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if we want to punish the empire, it's also aimed at the act of blocking the shipping lane. The imperial officials need to be held responsible, and the executors might need to be punished, but the degree of punishment is also open to debate. It shouldn't reach the point of needing an arrest. You... do you have a grudge against the other side?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, the cop's intuition is truly sharp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After joking, Li Ang's expression gradually became serious: \"This time I am certain that you have no problem arresting him. Sky Knights registered with the Guild cannot accept commissions that violate Guild laws, regardless of how righteous the other party's purpose may be to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A member of a top-four sky knight corps running over to participate in this so-called great cause of imperial conquest, affecting normal navigation between airspaces—what kind of behavior is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.\" Lancelot's expression also became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>",1536,"2026-06-21T01:23:38.712Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a6592f32781c2ff95ae96a00b85cd8abada1ffb88c9f9f742f513e0ee87fb094","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-49","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-47",496,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-cover.jpg"]
