Chapter 1221: Congratulating the New Envoy

While the atmosphere was heating up, Li Changfeng's resonant power gradually subsided. His three Duke Bergfrieds turned into three specks of light and gathered back in his body. Then he held his arm out, and the giant staff flew back into his hand.

Cupping his fist, he greeted Jiang Qing'e respectfully.

"Miss Jiang, you'll be our new Dragon Fang Envoy."

Hearing this, Jiang Qing'e restrained her light resonant power as well. She looked back at Li Changfeng and said, "Thank you for letting me win. I can still sense the formidable defense all over your body. If I had continued with my attacks, you'd have no problem stopping me."

"It's a battle between a third-grade and a first-grade. If we were at the same stage, that exchange would’ve been pointless." Li Changfeng smiled bitterly.

"Dragon Fang Envoy Jiang, with your talent and potential, it won’t take you long to become a second-grade Duke. At that point, I will support you if you challenge the Guardian General... but only if you would like to."

On the side, Li Foluo's eyes twitched a little when he heard this. “What a traitor! This guy is already changing sides?”

Luo Jiang laughed secretly. "Guardian General, it looks like the leadership of the Dragon's Fang Guardians will be experiencing a complete restaffing soon enough."

Li Foluo did not show much of a reaction to his comment. He answered indifferently, "If she leads the Dragon's Fang Guardians back to its past glory and retrieves the Heavenly Dragon Light and Dark Spear, I would not mind at all."

He then looked over at the battlefield. A deep and low voice resounded in the air.

"Everyone, let's congratulate our new Envoy. May the Dragon's Fang Guardians attain new heights!"

Everyone watched the slender figure in the air with eyes full of admiration. They cupped their fists, and a loud cheer echoed in the air.

"Congratulations new Envoy!"

"May the Dragon's Fang Guardians attain new heights!"

Their lively voices reached every corner of the arena. Everyone watched on with awe and passion.

Who could have expected that Jiang Qing'e, a first-grade Duke, would manage to push back against Li Changfeng, a third-grade Duke?

Was this the power of a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried? Every member of the Dragon's Fang Guardians was considered a genius in their generation. They had seen many talented people, but they had never seen one that was so domineering.

This got everyone very excited. With Jiang Qing'e becoming part of the Dragon's Fang Guardians, they had gained a talent with unrivaled potential. In the future, the Dragon's Fang Guardians would surely regain their past glory.

Li Fuling stared blankly at the beauty in the sky as she whispered to Li Fengyi, "She is very impressive. I feel like Li Luo is a little unworthy of her." Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

Li Luo rubbed his hands against the cold plaque. He could sense a special and familiar kind of energy wave inside it.

It was... similar to the Heavenly Emperor's Writ.

Clearly, the state of Harmony in the Dragon's Fang Guardians relied on this special plaque. Without it, no one would be able to mobilize the strength of the Dragon's Fang Guardians.

He used to rule over eight thousand banner members back in the Green Nether Banner. However, they would likely pale in comparison to the two thousand guardians under his command now.

"I can finally wield such power again." Li Luo felt a sense of relief as he firmly held his plaque. This would allow him to experience the strength of a Duke once again.

With two thousand soldiers behind him, he would not need to be afraid of other Dukes when he was out in the World End's River Region.

Li Foluo turned towards Li Hongyou and said, "With Li Hongyou's strength, she can only lead a thousand guardians. I can arrange for her to be placed under you later on."

"Thank you, Guardian General," Li Hongyou said.

With the huge commotion caused by Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo, no one paid any attention to the fact that Li Hongyou had gained command over a thousand guardians as well.

"Guardian General, what about Brother Li Changfeng and the rest?" Li Luo asked as he looked over at Li Changfeng.

"There is a role for everyone in the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies. Anyone who has reached the Duke Stage but holds no position is assigned to the Dragon Reserves. They are also known as the Reserve Dragon Knights. Their power is similar to that of a Grand Commander, but they do not have any authority over the troops. Nonetheless, they can step in and command the troops if there is an emergency," Li Foluo explained.

"During the Ceremony of Ascent, Reserve Dragon Knights can challenge any of the Grand Commanders, Dragon Fang Envoys, or even the Guardian General. If they win, they can take that position for themselves."

Li Luo finally understood. The Reserve Dragon Knight position was equivalent to a sinecure. The Dragon's Fang Guardians members that had become Duke would be temporarily placed there. After all, the high-level positions in the Dragon's Fang Guardians were limited.

"What about our salary?" Li Luo asked curiously.

Li Foluo stretched out his hand and revealed a golden pearl that was around the size of one's thumb. Intricate dragon scales decorated its surface along with a faintly discernible dragon carving.

"This is known as dragon essence, a unique currency in the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies. It can be traded for Foundational Spirit Treasures, Duke Bergfried Arts, spirit liquids and purifying lights, Duke Arts, mythic armaments, and many more things. Under ordinary circumstances, a Grand Commander receives a thousand of these monthly."

"How much does a high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure cost in terms of dragon essence, then?" Li Luo asked.

Li Foluo raised three fingers, and a smile appeared on his cold and stern face.

"Merely 30,000 dragon essence."
