Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild

Chapter 682 - 337: Goodwill Exchange

Upon seeing Li Ang’s arrival, Melegon immediately stepped forward."For this expedition, the elite of the Order Flower Sword Corps are here in full, and the command is now transferred to you."

During the discussion of plans, Li Ang had already expressed his desire for command of this operation, which was also his usual habit.

He is a core support, and being a witch, his support methods are unique and far from simply healing from behind. The more the battle aligns with his will, the better his support effect.

Since the Mechanical Creation Furnace was also activated under Li Ang’s leadership, he was more familiar with the internal situation, so Melegon agreed to Li Ang’s request.

Of course, Li Ang did not consider himself to truly be the leader. This was merely due to the Order Knight’s habit of readily following the flow, often working alongside others and forces when handling affairs.

If there were really matters to be handled in the capacity of an Order Knight, the command would naturally revert to their captain.

The elite of the Flower Sword Group here usually act as leaders in charge of other teams. For instance, when Li Ang met Lanslow, it was rare to see them gathered like this.

However, like Lanslow, their strength was also hindered by their equipment. Not everyone could achieve a full set of Excellence Realm equipment, with most wearing standard armor crafted by the guild.

But to Li Ang, this made command easier, treating them as basic combat units was much simpler than Celestial Knights with varying equipment.

His gaze swept across their faces one by one, matching each member according to the strength data Melegon provided.

There were seven Order Knights here, almost all of whom were professions like cavalry or legion soldiers, of military formation types, with three at the forefront, two close-combat sharp edges, two insertion cavalry, and with Melegon included, that made three.

Besides them, they had Xiaomo, Farina, Meimei, and Meluna as high-level forces. Due to world balance concerns, Akuya would also assist. These three high-tier water attribute forces significantly eased battles within the scorching Mechanical Creation Furnace.

Furthermore, since the girls from the Star Flower Travel Corps had reached tier 7 equipment defense, able to withstand pure magical attacks, they also qualified to accompany.

They only needed to restrain one Mechanical Creation Furnace Guard, which was also effective training for them.

With eight from the Order Flower Sword Corps, five in the Excellence Realm on Li Ang’s side, plus the Dragon God Incarnation, two summoned beasts Anna and Leviathan, and the three from the Star Flower Travel Corps, there were nineteen in total.

This scale had already reached the level of an all-elite deployment for many Sky Cavalry units. If it were a high-tier Celestial Group, it would not be difficult to restrain a Transcendent Demon Beast.

The crowd gathered in the underground cavern plaza. Compared to the serious formation of the Order Knights, Li Ang’s side appeared vastly different, a lively scene.

Aside from their beautiful faces, what made them more eye-catching were the three of them wearing high-quality outfits, or rather, it was these outfits that attracted the constant glances from the Order Knights.

Li Ang believed that if not for the system’s comprehensive equipment creation, aside from groups with great relations with the Dome Furnace Association, they wouldn’t have seen such equipment anywhere, let alone worn by beautiful maidens.

Zoe, who usually looked like a rebellious sporty girl, could remind one of ancient sword dancer statues in elf ruins when wearing the Curse Swordman’s Armor, especially emphasized by her doll-like exquisite features.

Aruru’s figure was hard to cover. How to armor the Horned Race women was always a problem. Li Ang proposed not to cover at all, instead highlighting their unique beauty, justifying it as a way to ease heat dissipation. But the contrast between the dignified armor and revealing figure exceeded his expectations.

As for Dorothy, her hair turned platinum with a rainbow sheen due to the power surge of the Demon-Born Flower, giving her an extraordinary allure. Her Mermaid Robe spread this tone over her entire body, making her appear as if she had walked out of myth, while the nearby sea serpent summoned beast added to the fantastical feel.

It seemed that designing for visual appeal went a bit overboard. Li Ang thought.

The only one who could compare was Farina, a main force at the Banquet of the Gods, with her dragon-inclined equipment making her like a fiery blossoming flower.

Ordinary Celestial Group members rarely owned a whole set of high-tier equipment. Li Ang privately inquired about Farina’s situation. She relied on the Fire Dragon for equipment through its channels and resources, though she provided the Banquet of the Gods with treasure information, retaining equipment ownership.

Apart from Xiaomo, whose attire downplayed her profession’s characteristics, and Akuya, who except for a simple and mystical Water Blue Staff appeared in casual attire, Meimei and Meluna could only pass off as ordinary travelers.

Due to peculiar circumstances, Er Mei had no suitable equipment other than their weapons, and they occasionally eyed the Star Flower Travel Corps. Strong as their minds were, the latter group felt slightly uneasy.

"Captain Li Ang."

Melegon suddenly called Li Ang, signaling him to talk aside.

Although he rationally thought Melegon wasn’t going to question his team’s propriety, Li Ang felt a pang of nervousness.
