The Test to Join the Swordbearer Unit, the Campaign Against the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew, and the Completed Calculations
The Blue Dragon's corpse was too enormous, Lancelot's spatial necklace had limited storage space, so he could only drag it away from the valley with one hand.
Back on the shuttle, they used a special mechanical device to secure the Blue Dragon's corpse, and the shuttle took off, flying north.
The spoils of war were so numerous that only Lancelot, by sheer chance, managed to acquire a necklace with extremely limited storage space. With such limited space, he could only hold a few precious small items; when the number of items exceeded his capacity, it became insufficient.
Therefore, they had no choice but to return to the Alliance first, store the items, and then carry out the second mission.
On the flying shuttle, Lancelot leaned back in a soft chair, a tube of viscous dragon blood between his fingers, a faint dragon's might emanating from it.
"According to the academy's records, the Blue Dragon possesses numerous bloodline talents, many of which are lightning-attribute. It's unknown how many bloodline potions can be made from this Blue Dragon's flesh and blood."
Normally, a Transcendent being can only create one bloodline potion. However, if the alchemist is skilled enough to fully utilize the power of the bloodline, then that's a different story.
"It would be best to let Logo handle it. With his expertise in both potion-making and bloodline studies, plus the help of his Eye of Insight, he can definitely extract every last drop of value from this Blue Dragon. Moreover, as my strength and influence have increased, I'm no longer afraid of contacting my other two clones. Even if I'm discovered, it doesn't matter. Strong people naturally have many friends, and there are even many who are friends with those in opposing camps."
Lancelot pondered for a moment and finally decided to hand the Blue Dragon over to Logo. This marked the beginning of the three avatars assisting each other in their growth.
"However, before that, let's refine the Blue Dragon's flesh and blood to reduce its size for easier transportation."
A few hours later, the shuttle crossed the southern border and soon returned to the Holy Sword Academy.
The squad dispersed, each taking their assigned loot and going their separate ways.
After using his connections to refine the Blue Dragon, Lancelot stored it in a private bank. Logo would then send someone to retrieve it, prepare the bloodline potion, and send it back via courier.
After doing all that, Lancelot returned to the squad, and two hours later, everyone regrouped to carry out their second mission.
The second task went smoothly and was completed easily.
The judge of that duchy was terrified upon receiving the gift. He immediately sent a secret message to the Alliance, repeatedly assuring them of his loyalty and expressing remorse for his previous actions.
After completing the second mission, Beaufort and the others tried to persuade Lancelot to stay, but he politely declined, saying that he was already preparing to join the Swordbearer Unit, which shocked them quite a bit. But when they thought that this was Lancelot, they felt it was only natural.
The two sides had a farewell meal. At the table, Beaufort repeatedly emphasized that they owed Lancelot a life-saving debt and would definitely repay it. Lancelot just smiled and didn't say anything.
He understood the underlying meaning of Beaufort's words: he wanted the two to maintain contact, and the bridge for this contact was the so-called debt of gratitude for saving his life.
After saying goodbye to the Beaufort Squad, Lancelot returned to the Holy Sword and soon contacted White Light Fituosi.
"You've figured it out?" Fituosi's nonchalant voice echoed in his ears. What made Lancelot frown was that he seemed to hear a panting sound. Although the sound was very low, it still came through to him. Judging from the tone of the voice, it was a woman, probably between 25 and 30 years old.
"This guy..." Lancelot's expression was strange. He was actually engaging in human reproduction while on the phone with him. How unrestrained!
"Send me the specific procedures for joining the Swordbearer Unit, I'm hanging up now!" Lancelot had no interest in listening to other people's sweet talk, so he left these words and decisively ended the communication.
About two minutes later, a notification sounded and an electronic document was sent to Fituosi.
Upon opening the document, detailed information about the Swordbearer Unit, as well as the requirements and procedures for joining, appeared before Lancelot's eyes. He quickly read through all the documents and gained a deeper understanding of the Swordbearer Unit.
First of all, this is an absolutely elite force, the Alliance's ace.
Including logistics, the total number of members does not exceed five thousand.
Don't be fooled by the large number of people; in fact, compared to the Alliance's massive population, this number is already compressed to its limit.
The Swordbearer Unit are divided into the following six main departments.
Intelligence, operations, information technology, logistics, discipline inspection, general affairs.
The Operations Division has the largest number of members and only accepts Transcendent individuals.
Besides the elite soldiers selected through countless battles within the military, the Operations Department primarily recruits from the four major academies: Holy Sword, Radiant Sun, Constellation, and Infinity. Among them, Holy Sword recruits the most, accounting for as much as 50% of the total.
This is partly due to the fact that Holy Sword Academy is a military academy, and partly due to the historical ties between the two institutions.
Initially, the Swordbearer Unit were the disciplined force of the Holy Sword Academy. Later, due to the dire situation, they were expanded to also serve as a guard. Then, due to their outstanding military achievements and the emergence of Lord Maxwell, they gradually evolved into the elite ace force they are today, mainly responsible for carrying out key missions concerning the strategic situation of the Alliance.
There are two requirements to join the Swordbearer Unit.
First, invitations from internal members.
Second, pass the test.
Lancelot already satisfies the former requirement.
The latter is what he is about to experience.
The buzzing of the communicator reached Lancelot's ears. He answered the phone, and Fituosi's voice followed, "So? Which test are you going to take?"
Lancelot understood what Fituosi meant: there were two tests required to join the Swordbearer Unit.
First, it's a test for Walker.
Secondly, it's a test of teamwork.
This is also a choice: deciding in what form to join the Swordbearer Unit.
Walker or team traveler.
The former is more difficult because the Walker warriors of the Swordbearer Unit are all all-rounders, all-around aces of the Alliance who can deal with all kinds of situations. Therefore, the corresponding test is also more difficult. If you don't have the skills, don't even think about trying. You will easily end up with a bloody head.
The latter has a normal level of difficulty, but that's only relative to the difficulty faced by Walker; in reality, it's just as challenging.
Lancelot naturally chose the test of the Walker.
His growth rate is too fast. If they were to form a team, they could probably only carry out one or two missions together, just like the previous Beaufort's team, which was quickly eliminated by him.
In this situation, Lancelot had no choice but to go it alone. Besides, he preferred to solve problems on his own, without being a burden, and of course, without burdening others.
"I choose the Walker challenge!"
Lancelot answered Fituosi during the call.
The latter paused for a moment, "Are you sure?"
"Confirmed!" Lancelot nodded.
"Alright, I respect your decision. But before that, you must understand the mortality rate of Walker in the Swordbearer Unit, especially those Walker have just joined—less than one in ten survives!" Fituosi's tone was grave. "You must understand that those who dare to participate in and pass the Swordbearer Unit's Walker assessment are geniuses among geniuses, and even under these circumstances, not one in ten survives!"
"In this situation, are you sure you still want to conduct the Walker test? You know, once this is decided, it can't be changed unless you make a huge contribution."
Fituosi clearly cared about Lancelot, after all, he was one of his older sister's few close friends, and his talent was outstanding enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have paid any attention to anyone else, and he would never have wasted so much breath on him. Let him die if he wants, whatever.
"I'm sure!" Lancelot nodded again, his expression unchanged.
This time, Fituosi said no more. "Alright, I'll submit your application now. Just wait for the mission to be announced!"
After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, the two ended the call.
While waiting, half a day passed in the blink of an eye. Lancelot, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, suddenly sat up straight, picked up the communicator next to him, and saw that there was a new message on it.
"Head to the Whirlpool Sea, cooperate with the Alliance Navy's Sixth Fleet to encircle and annihilate the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew. Upon completion of the operation, you will receive at least 50,000 battle merits."
Looking at the information on the communicator screen, Lancelot muttered to himself, "The Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew?"
"Annula, it seems his days are numbered."
Lancelot had long heard of this exceptionally stubborn fellow. More than a year ago, several imperial-level forces, including the Crimson Alliance, surrounded him in the depths of the Whirlpool Sea. However, this guy was indeed resourceful and hid very well. Although they could often find other members of the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew, they had never been able to find his lair.
The Alliance speculates that the enemy's lair is likely hidden in some vast alternate dimension, which would allow them to evade detection from multiple sources.
As a high-magic planet, Planet Oklo an extremely complex spatial structure, and due to the active natural elements, alternate dimensions are created and annihilated every moment, which further increases the difficulty of exploration.
However, as long as outer space defenses are in place and the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew ' escape routes are blocked, finding them is only a matter of time, so none of the parties are in a hurry.
Sure enough, after more than a year, the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew has finally revealed some clues. Now, all parties are organizing professionals in spatial science to conduct targeted positioning. Once the location of that alternate dimension is determined, they can open a spatial passage, break into it, and wipe out this erratic pirate gang.
Lancelot's mission is to gain enough merit in this operation.
"According to the Alliance's experts, the alternate dimension should be located within two months at the latest. Once the alternate dimension is found, things will be much easier. Several major imperial-level forces can join forces to encircle and annihilate it, and the battle can be ended within a day."
"In other words, I now have two months to accumulate merits." Lancelot's eyes narrowed slightly. Although the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew ' main base had not been successfully located, many of their secondary hideouts had been exposed. More than half of the pirate crew members were fleeing in panic. However, the entire Whirlpool Sea was now under surveillance, and they had no chance of escaping.
Therefore, if Lancelot wanted to quickly accumulate military merits before the general offensive began, he had to participate in the pursuit and killing of these pirates and obtain a sufficient number of battle merits.
"The only difficulty is intelligence!" Lancelot quickly grasped the key point.
He is currently in a testing phase and cannot use the intelligence channels of the Swordbearer Unit, nor can he use the official intelligence channels of the Alliance. He can only find his own way.
This is also part of the test. After all, many of the missions carried out by the Swordbearer Unit involve going behind enemy lines, especially for the Walker. They have to solve a large part of the intelligence and supply problems on their own. The Hexagonal Warrior is not just about having strong combat power; he also needs to be proficient in various fields of knowledge.
"Fifty thousand battle merits in two months, without any support, relying solely on oneself—truly a brutal test befitting the Swordbearer Unit."
"However, intelligence is not a problem for me at all."
Lancelot smiled faintly. Even without the support of the Alliance, he still had Logo.
The Angedora Bay Rare Metals Community has just been established and is in its honeymoon period. On the surface, the major powers are only cooperating on metals, minerals, and smelting, but in reality, the cooperation has already involved many other aspects.
Clearly, the Metal Community is just the beginning; based on this foundation, the connections between the various factions in Angedora Bay will become increasingly close.
As the chairman of the Ruibete Group, a member of the Community, a key high-level member of Sunset Jungle, a partner of Shake Baha, the deputy treasurer of Dusk Desert, and a major financier and technology provider for many alchemy workshops in the Seven Magitech Nations, Logo wields considerable influence within the Community. Correspondingly, he has access to a wide range of intelligence channels.
It's important to know that Angedora Bay is located north of the Whirlpool Sea. When it comes to understanding this ocean, on the entire Planet Oklo, apart from the Dragon Clan and Sea Clan, only the Community and the Tia Empire truly understand it.
And don't forget, Logo is also a student of Maidisenna, the alchemist master of the Tia Empire, so the intelligence he can provide to Lancelot is even more comprehensive and complete than that of the Crimson Alliance.
Therefore, Lancelot was not worried about any errors in intelligence. After preparing his equipment, he boarded a flying vehicle, took off from the academy, and headed straight for the Whirlpool Sea to rendezvous with his own Sixth Fleet.
at the same time.
After a month of calculations by Maidisenna, the coordinates of that demiplane within Planet Pandora's Space-Time magnetic field were finally determined.
After receiving the coordinates from his teacher, Logo quickly returned to the Royal Court. After discussing with the Left Prime Minister, the Grand Elder, and others, he decided to have Grand Duke Tielin accompany him on a secret journey to Planet Pandora.
As for the teacher Maidisenna, since he belonged to the Tia Empire camp and had a different level of affinity with the Royal Court, this half-rank position was too important to the Royal Court and had to be handled with utmost care. After discussion between the Grand Elder and the Left Prime Minister, Maidisenna.
Meanwhile, in order to ensure the successful return of the demiplane to Planet Oklo, the Grand Elder, after much deliberation, instructed Grand Duke Tielin to bring along the Eye of Gendaya, a Legend six-and -Demigod.
The Eye of Gendaya possesses spatial properties, allowing it to temporarily merge with the origins of the demiplane, thereby enabling it to move through space.
With everything prepared, Logo and Grand Duke Lieyuan, disguised as humans, boarded a spaceship and flew towards Planet Pandora.
