Chapter 939 - 471
The light source array, established by the Priests Temple, exists to dispel the wraith’s aura from the frontline camp and receive nature’s spiritual energy, ensuring that the six main professionists at the frontline have abundant spiritual power to replenish themselves.
As for the Luminous Knights Order, which is most reliant on the light element, they are responsible for guarding the light source array, and they also enhance the array’s effects. After all, each of them serves as a miniature light source, working in synergy with the array.
Even before they got close, Long Dangdang and the others could feel the light element in the air becoming increasingly intense; the massive golden column of light formed by the light source array seemed like a pillar supporting the sky. The pale golden halo made them all feel as though their whole bodies were being nourished, especially Ling Menglu, who had a faint golden hue forming around her body.
Seeing this, Xi Che smiled and said, "It’s quite likely that you, Divine Maiden, could become our Luminous Knights Order’s High Priest, though I suppose there might be some objections from the Priests Temple. We lads, however, are indeed fortunate."
The Priests Temple, unlike the other five great temples, has a particularly lofty status within the Federation’s Legion. As a support profession, the priests of the Priests Temple are divided into several groups, one of which sets up array formations, and another specifically provides mass healing during wars. The priest corps isn’t formed like other legions; instead, it’s distributed among various combat units.
When war arrives, each combat unit, especially the melee units, will have priests attached. A knight group of three thousand is standardly equipped with one tenth of its number in the priest corps. The so-called Legion’s High Priest is the chief priest who leads this corps.
Ling Menglu, as a Divine Maiden of the Priests Temple, taking on the role of a legion’s High Priest is surely an overqualification. For the Luminous Knights Order, her arrival is even more significant than replacing a High Priest with a 9th Rank saint.
"You flatter me," Ling Menglu said with a slight smile, then looked at Long Dangdang beside her with a hint of a husband-and-wife partnership.
From a distance, the Luminous Knights Order had already noticed their arrival. Figures were already flying out from the camp, which turned out to be luminous unicorns.
A normal luminous unicorn is a Level 8 magical beast, with the potential to advance to Level 9, while a luminous unicorn king can reach the strength of a 10th level magical beast, akin to a 9th Rank powerful expert.
Ten knights, all riding luminous unicorns, came towards them, and the leading ones, the unicorns between their legs, had clearly reached the 9th rank.
