Zoe had no objection and simply asked the reason.
"These guys," Leon pointed at the airship and the imperial soldiers, "can't just take them to Frost Sky Island. Their best destination is the Guild's Hall of Order."
"What is that place?"
"Simply put, it's the place responsible for capturing and detaining prisoners."
As the advocate of the existing order in the airspace, the Sky Knight Guild also has the force to maintain order.
The guild's highest authority, the "Knights' Council", is responsible for revising laws and electing administrative personnel. It is composed of the top four leaders of the celestial groups and the top ten individual air knights, and elects a speaker as the host and representative.
Outside of the Knights' Council, there is a special organization called the "Knights of Order of the Sky" which is responsible for judicial and supervisory work.
It can be said to be the most special air cavalry regiment in the entire sky. It has a large number of members and excellent average strength. The elites among them are as strong as those of the celestial group.
In larger guild offices, there is also an Order Hall set up by the Order Air Cavalry, which can be used as a police station.
I explained the location of the Order Hall to the girl, but she pouted unexpectedly: "So there are people in the sky who meddle in other people's business. I hope they catch me in there someday."
"Hey, what on earth are you thinking about that makes you treat someone like an imaginary enemy? Why are you already thinking you're going to be arrested?"
Li Ang wanted to pinch her face, but she dodged it by jumping back twice, then smiled and made faces.
So, Leon set the course of the airship to the nearest Order Hall.
Zoe didn't care. She would look at everything with curiosity anyway. Eden also agreed that these people should be brought to justice before considering anything else, because this might affect Zoe's future safety.
After determining the direction, Leon let Zoe return to Eden's back, and he went to the cabin and pulled the little commander to his side.
"Okay, let's chat."
"What are you talking about? Just because I admit defeat this time doesn't mean the Empire will be afraid of you. The Empire's rise is unstoppable."
"Where are you from? Why did you choose to serve the Empire?" Leon asked. "If the capital of the Empire is the Cretaceous Fortress, I understand there are very few residents there and it has been deserted for a long time. How did it suddenly rise to prominence?"
"The Emperor's majesty shines everywhere, and all who are inspired by it wish to become part of the Empire's glory."
"Where did he inspire you?"
"My hometown is Vitum. When the emperor was on tour, his demeanor and ideals deeply moved me. It made me understand what it means to be a Sporilian. Our ordinary lives will contribute to the rise of the Sporilians."
"Oh, Craft Island, he ran quite far."
Leon pondered the term "patrol." A patrol should only be considered within one's own territory. Was the Craft Island part of the Empire's territory? He had never heard of this concept before. In his impression, the islands in the Ignis airspace were supposed to be independent territories.
In short, it seems that the emperor of this empire has been planning this for a long time.
These ordinary officers have no idea what power he has or what his real purpose is.
Officer Douding started talking about the glory of the empire again, so Leon left the cabin.
At this moment, the sky was already filled with the glimmer of light before dawn.
After leaving Satus Island, a long time had passed with pursuit, counterattack, and torture of captured soldiers.
Satus Island is located in the southeast corner of the Flores airspace. It is also the easternmost of all airspaces. Further east is the impassable turbulence area. The Ignis airspace is very close to the south. Compared with other islands, it is closest to the Order Hall in the Ignis airspace.
Following the sky map, the magic airship crossed some small and medium-sized sky islands and arrived at the entrance of the channel between the Flores airspace and the Ignis airspace at dawn.
Leon asked Zoe and Eden to come to the boat to prevent the appearance of the giant wolf from causing a commotion.
However, what Leon did not expect was that outside the channel between the two airspaces, a large number of airships were hovering in the air.
At the entrance of the waterway, two groups of people were facing each other. One of the groups could be identified as members of the Order Air Cavalry just by looking at their standard armor. They were very small in number, only five in total, standing at the bow of their medium-sized airship.
When the Order Air Cavalry discovered the arrival of a new ship, the leader immediately boarded a small single-person airship and flew directly to the front.
As soon as he saw Li Ang, he immediately stopped the boat and landed on the deck. He took a few big steps over and grabbed Li Ang's shoulders.
"Good fellow, I caught you. Now I can report to the young lady."
46. Order Flame Group
Trouble.
Li Ang originally thought that meeting the Order Air Cavalry here would make things easier, but it turned out to be a headache instead.
"Lancelot, why are you here?"
"It's my turn to patrol the airway. Our regiment is stationed in Ignis airspace."
The cheerful young man in front of him had brown hair and green eyes, wearing silver-white armor and a flaming cloak behind him.
He was a member of the elite guard of the Order Air Cavalry, and Leon happened to know him.
To be precise, he knew quite a few people in their group.
The Order Air Cavalry is a large organization, and its elite guards have combat power that is no less than that of the Sky Group. They are divided into several sub-groups stationed in different airspaces.
The branch of Ignis Airspace is called the Order Flame Group, with twenty members. Leon once worked with them. Since then, the leader, who was called "Miss" by their members, has always been thinking about getting Leon to join her group.
The Lancelot in front of him could be considered a friend, because he was someone he could get along with during their previous collaborations.
Normally, it is impossible to encounter the Elite Guards when going to the Order Hall to do business, but unexpectedly, I ran into them in the sky.
Lancelot's hands were tightly wrapped around Leon's shoulders, and the metal of the hand guard hurt him.
Lancelot was all smiles. "I heard you left Soul Apex, and that Miss Ling-Meng finally got her chance, so she headed straight for the Holy City. But when she got there, she couldn't find you anywhere, and when she came back, she got really mad at us."
"I have a group."
"What? Which group acted so quickly?"
Lancelot put his hands on his hips and shook his head. "As expected, good assistants are in high demand. The leader of Soul Apex has become a fool by playing political games. There are many people waiting to see them make a fool of themselves."
Is he a good support? After spending so much time with the people at Soul Apex, Leon sometimes develops a misconception—everyone thinks supports are just there to eat grass and milk.
Like many games on Earth, in Newbis's team battles, supports are also divided into control type, defense type and enhancement type. These three categories are the basis. If combined with more or less treatment, control, damage and weakening effects, it can become an excellent support.
And what about Li Ang? Li Ang can do a little bit, but he might be more expensive to use.
In order for him to play a role, he sometimes needs to consume high-level spellcasting materials, but the good thing is that he can do it all, so there is no need to waste energy looking for other assistance or special training, and it is profitable overall.
But maybe it's because everything is taken care of, and some people just can't adapt their thinking.
Originally, his moves were mainly aimed at benefiting his own side, controlling the battlefield, and filling in for combat deficiencies, but some people felt that his lethality was not as good as that of a spell turret or a melee knife, his healing capacity was not as good as that of a priest who could only heal, and his control was not as good as that of a jammer with low lethality.
This is just like in some online games where five people team up to play a difficult level. A high-level healer can supplement the damage output and reduce the difficulty of the level, but someone will kick the healer out because the damage they don't deal is not enough. Once the dispute starts, it will be an endless topic.
So after Li Ang felt relieved, he decided to completely break away from this situation and start his own group, then there would be no such problem.
"Ever since that collaboration, the young lady has been cursing you out of the group... No, she's hoping for you to leave. Er, that's not quite right either. Anyway, she thinks you're destined to have a bad relationship with Ramsay. Although she's headstrong, she's got no problem judging people."
"You all know the gossip about the Holy City in Ignis Skyspace?"
Li Ang thought about it. It had only been six days, and his withdrawal from the group was already known to everyone?
"No, the highly ranked Sky Knights have been saying this for a while now. They were originally a group that was just a little bit behind in every aspect, but they not only squeezed into the top four, but also jumped to first place. Isn't it all thanks to you guys being able to dismantle that tricky rune mechanism in the Dark Night Ancient City? Oh, and I can't call you guys anymore now.
"Many people said at the beginning that to conquer the Dark Night Ancient City, we would need a sorcerer of the Outstanding Realm, but there are so few sorcerers in the entire sky. Where would such a person be found? Everyone thought that although Soul Apex had a sorcerer of this caliber, the team's strength was still a little lacking. Unexpectedly, they managed to force their way through. Afterwards, the hero was gone. They lost their greatest advantage. Where would Soul Apex fall to? Everyone was waiting to see the joke."
In many ancient ruins of lost civilizations in Newbis, there are complex traps and mechanisms, each requiring different means of breaking them. The most difficult ones are those that require spiritual manipulation to disarm.
Some teams have tried to train specialized sorcerers, but when faced with high-level mechanisms, since almost no one can train sorcerers to level 7 or above, the investment in training is of no use.
"Kicking someone off is a vote, and since I was voted in anyway, I must be the one who deserves it."
Li Ang shrugged sarcastically.
"A new journey has begun. Isn't this the time to sign up for a new group?"
Lancelot pointed at him and said, "So you want to lead the group yourself? Okay, I'm optimistic about you. Your tactics impressed me before, but you have to be careful of the young lady chasing you. She's been craving... uh, craving that move of yours that activates your entire spiritual power for far too long."
"I'd be very grateful if you didn't take me away now."
Lancelot added, "If you are really caught by the young lady, don't tell her that I have seen you."
The leader of the Order Flame Squad in question happened to have a strong compatibility with Leon's spell, Spiritual Activation. The buff not only boosted her power but also multiplied it in multiple dimensions. Because of her physique, the cost was also low. Therefore, she issued an order to her fellow troupes: whenever they saw Leon, they had to "persuade" him to join.
Considering her personality, if Li Ang really joined the Flame Corps, she would probably exploit him every day and force him to infuse her with this amplification spell.
So Leon was very afraid that Lancelot would drag him to the Flame Corps’ base. It would be troublesome to escape by force. Now that he saw that Lancelot had no intention of doing so, he relaxed a lot.
The young man looked at the two stunningly beautiful women behind Li Ang again. In fact, he had just glanced at them a few times.
Zoe and Eden, regardless of their appearance, one is petite and the other is plump, and the strong contrast itself creates a visual impact that cannot be ignored.
Noticing the stranger's gaze, Zoe subconsciously hid behind Leon.
"These two... aren't your family members? Did you choose them as the members?"
Li Ang remained noncommittal.
"You guy!"
The young man opposite seemed agitated. "Is the group you formed a legitimate one? Are your motives pure? You won't just leave the group and go wild, recruiting beauties and then using coercion and bribery to build the Air Cavalry into your harem... I'll catch you, okay?"
"My intentions are absolutely pure."
"Oh, just kidding."
Lancelot smiled casually, turned around and pointed at the entrance to the channel ahead: "There's no way to catch it even if you want to, now..."
Zoe whispered, "Don't catch me."
"Hmm?" Lancelot turned around.
"You're fine, why are you scared?" Leon tapped the little wild cat's forehead twice.
Zoe covered her forehead with her hands and rolled her eyes around. Leon felt that she might be planning something in her mind. Thinking of her habit of leaving the villagers helpless and stealing things from the children in the village, he always felt that he would have a headache in the future.
Lancelot laughed and said, "Why would I arrest you? If I had to arrest someone, it would be your captain."
Zoe quickly hugged Li Ang tightly and said, "Don't catch Li Ang. If you must catch someone, then catch me."
The young man turned and stared at Li Ang: "Now I really doubt you."
Li Ang stroked his forehead and sighed.
Lancelot laughed twice and asked, "It seems the new team has a good atmosphere. Where did you find this kid?"
"Trade secrets."
"Well, I'm just chatting casually," he sighed, "Anyway, we can't enter Ignis airspace right now."
"I see you're confronting them. What kind of people are they?"
"Something called the Spaar Empire."
"The Holy Sporir Empire?"
"Yes, yes, how did you know? Wait, your ship..."
Lancelot stood on tiptoe and looked at the ship carrying soldiers behind him.
"I thought you brought a group of people with you because you accepted a mission to suppress bandits. Did you also come into conflict with this faction?"
"I just want to send them to the nearest Order Hall."
Li Ang mentioned the attack on civilians by these people, skipped the details about Xinghun and Zoe, and asked, "Why are they blocking the waterway?"
Lancelot had an expression that made him laugh out loud: "You'd never guess that group of people claimed that the Ignis airspace was their territory, and that's why they're refusing outsiders entry."
"In this situation, isn't it time for the Order Air Cavalry to take action?" Leon asked.
47. Reasonable Arrest
"Yes, that's how it should be."
Lancelot said in disbelief, "Did 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.
"And the treaty stipulates that if no more than half of the lords vote to end the empire, it will continue. So what these people mean is that the empire still exists today."
"Voting? Aren't they the Empire?"
"That's what it's called. I feel it's even looser than the Federation." Lancelot shrugged.
"I think I understand. After the imperial power declined, the various lords developed independently, so the empire has essentially ended, but it has not been officially announced. But now, an emperor suddenly appears and wants to restore the authority."
Leon mentioned that these people always emphasized the emperor, and Lancelot said he had noticed the same thing.
Another strange thing is that if the Ignis airspace has always had the concept of the "Holy Sporil Empire", then even if the imperial power is declining, there should still be an emperor, so that air knights of the level of Leon and Lancelot would not have never heard of it.
Lancelot said, "The Guild has always respected the sovereignty of each island. After all, this empire predates the Guild by five hundred years. If it truly wishes to declare a resurgence, the Guild will not interfere.
"I contacted our branch's headquarters about this matter, and I learned that the Empire was also making moves elsewhere in Ignis airspace. The people at the headquarters spent half a day consulting with headquarters."
Newbis's communicator wasn't very convenient, far inferior to a phone. Similar to the boat beacon Leon had used before, it was made of a special mineral called sound stone, divided into a mother stone and a child stone. The sound waves received by the child stone would be replicated on the mother stone, thus transmitting the sound.
