"From now on, this will be the base of the First Special Operations Group," the blue-robed wizard continued calmly. "How it's arranged afterwards is up to you."
He paused, then began to describe the benefits of the special operations team:
"As a pilot team, the Special Operations Group receives a special allowance of 500 contribution points per month. You, as the team leader, have full authority to use these points to reward outstanding team members or to purchase necessary equipment and supplies for the team. In addition, the regular rewards for completing missions are the same as those for other teams."
After the introduction, he took out several sheets of parchment with forms printed on them from his pocket and handed them to Li Ang:
"This is the team application form. From now on, you can start recruiting your team members. The maximum is 10. Of course, as long as you can complete the mission, the specific number you recruit is up to you. After each recruitment, you need to submit the completed application form to the archives department for filing."
Li Ang carefully tucked the application form into his pocket and thanked the blue-robed wizard.
After the other party left, Li Ang was left alone in the large room.
He looked around the empty, even somewhat desolate room, and a heavy sense of responsibility welled up within him.
The first team member that came to mind was Sandrameya without a doubt.
During the operation in Whispering Forest, Maya's formidable close-combat skills and control over the battle left an extremely deep impression on Leon.
Moreover, judging from the trend revealed at today's meeting, the expansion of the law enforcement team is a foregone conclusion, and the situation will become increasingly chaotic in the future.
Rather than having Maya forcibly conscripted in the future and assigned to an unknown team, it's better to have her join my squad. At least I can ensure her safety and arrange tactical positions based on her characteristics.
With that in mind, Li Ang didn't delay any longer and went straight to the Potions School dormitory area, knocking on Sandramea's door.
The door was quickly opened, and a strong smell of weapon polishing oil wafted out. Maya was holding a soft cloth and carefully wiping her sharp double-edged battle axe. When she saw Li Ang, her eyes immediately lit up and a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Li Angqing, what brings you here? Come in quickly."
Li Ang entered the room and told her about the special operations team and the recruitment of team members.
"So, Your Highness, are you interested in joining my team?" Li Ang asked with a smile.
Without any hesitation, Maya nodded excitedly and vigorously:
"Of course I'm interested. This princess has long wanted to join the enforcement team."
She then scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly:
"Actually, I saw that you joined the enforcement team. I had applied to join before, but I didn't pass the review. They said that I belong to the potion school, and if I wanted to join, I would have to go through a more rigorous combat test. As a result, my spell mastery is not very good. I can only barely use a few level 0 spells. Although I can cast level 1 spells, the preparation time is too long, which is not suitable for actual combat. So I didn't pass the test."
Li Ang was somewhat taken aback. Meiya had actually applied herself? And it hadn't been approved yet?
Besides, I'm from the Potions school, and I haven't seen any kind of assessment.
But that's fine too, if she had passed, she would probably have been assigned to another group already.
Li Ang then nodded and comforted him:
"It's alright, Your Highness. Your front-line melee ability is exactly what my team needs. In the future, when there's time, I can also guide you in your spell practice, at least to improve your casting speed and stability."
"Really? That's wonderful!" Maya was even happier. She immediately picked up the application form that Li Ang handed her and neatly signed her name on it: Sandra Maya Maxwell.
Seeing Maya's excited expression, Li Ang felt reassured.
With this reliable dwarf princess, the team's basic melee and defense capabilities were secured.
Seeing that Meiya had signed the application form, Li Ang said half-jokingly:
"Your Highness, since I am your chief knight and you are my teammate, from now on we will address each other separately. You will call me Captain, and I will call you Your Highness."
After hearing this, Mei Ya replied happily, "Okay, Li Angqing."
After leaving Maya's dormitory, Li Ang looked at the few application forms remaining in his arms and couldn't help but feel troubled.
Among the people he knew, who else would be suitable to join this newly formed special operations team?
Lottie was still just a grey-robed apprentice, lacking both strength and experience.
Helena also appears to be wearing a gray robe, and it's been a while since I've seen her. I wonder how she's doing these days.
Li Ang glanced at his pocket watch and realized that there was very little time left before his dinner appointment with the Eighth Squad that evening.
Li Ang decided to attend the banquet first, and could look for team members later.
In the evening, in the lobby of the second canteen, led by Captain Eric, the remaining three members of the eighth squad, Alyssa,
Miguel and Remus jointly hosted a heartfelt farewell dinner for Leon, which also celebrated his promotion to captain of the Special Operations Team.
The table was laden with a sumptuous meal and ale, the atmosphere lively yet tinged with a touch of melancholy.
"Li Ang, although it's hard to see you leave the team, this is your chance."
Captain Eric raised his glass, his voice booming, "When you get there, do a good job, and don't embarrass our Eighth Squad."
"The captain is right." Ger patted Li Ang on the back forcefully. "From now on, you're Captain Li Ang. You have to treat us to drinks!"
Remus laughed and agreed.
Elisa, holding a wine glass, walked up to Li Ang. Her left eye was now covered by an eyepatch, but the gaze in her right eye was crystal clear.
"Li Ang, thank you. You not only saved me, but also the captain. I'm so grateful to have a teammate like you in the Eighth Squad. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors and success in your new role."
Although reluctant to part ways, everyone understood that this was a better platform for Li Ang's development, and they all sent him their sincerest blessings.
Moved, Li Ang clinked glasses with each of his former teammates and downed the slightly bitter ale in one gulp.
After the banquet, Li Ang returned to his dormitory slightly tipsy. Lying on his familiar bed, he stared at the ceiling and began to sketch out the future blueprint for the First Special Operations Group in his mind.
The next day, after finishing the potion class on the fifth floor, Li Ang received a message from Captain Eric, asking him to go to the Eighth Squad's base.
When Li Ang arrived, Elisa, Miguel, and Remus were already there. Captain Eric announced with a serious expression:
"The reward calculation results for the Storm Mountains mission are in. All participants will receive a base reward of 500."
Contribution points and 1 gold coin.
He paused, then turned his gaze to Li Ang: "Li Ang, according to Commander-in-Chief Negan's report, your outstanding performance in the mission has earned you an additional 500 contribution points. So you have a total of 1000 contribution points this time."
