Obtaining the Protector's Medal was indeed something to be proud of, something that would bring glory to one's ancestors.
No matter what battle record or Glory, nothing was as convincing as this medal.
This was not as simple as a medal!
The person who obtained this medal would also be conferred the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Every month, they would receive more than 100,000 in benefits. Although this amount of money was nothing to Lin Feng's team, it was a form of recognition.
"Congratulations."
Wang Jian congratulated.
Although he was a King, he did not hide the envy in his voice.
As the Guardian of the Capital, he could not obtain such a medal.
If there were no miracles, he would not be able to obtain it in his lifetime, even if he died in the line of duty!
This was not a medal that could be obtained through strength or position. It required battle record and contributions. Every year, no more than two people would obtain this medal.
Bestowing it to fourteen people at once was extremely rare.
While envious, Wang Jian was also somewhat puzzled.
In his opinion, with the battle records of Lin Feng, Ye Qiu, Yu Qiao, Yunkai, Zhan Tianyu, Yang Ningbing, and Huang Tianze, they were indeed qualified to obtain the Protector's Medal. After all, they had killed thousands of foreign race geniuses in the Imperial Jade Seal's Dimensional Portal.
Those were all foreign race geniuses, not ordinary ones.
Killing one foreign race genius was far more valuable than killing a hundred ordinary foreign race geniuses.
Moreover, there were monsters like Hai Wei and Tian Qing among them.
This was what Lin Feng's team had done in the Imperial Jade Seal's Dimensional Portal. Recently, the Dimensional Portals of the Five and Six Star Portals had become much quieter.
Lin Feng's team alone had changed over a hundred Dimensional Portals.
The deaths of these foreign race geniuses did not affect the current situation. After all, they were still relatively weak. However, in less than fifteen years, the most conservative estimate was that there would be over a hundred new Kings among these geniuses.
In other words, Lin Feng's team had killed over a hundred foreign Kings in advance!
It was also because of such heavy losses that the foreign race had issued such an astronomical bounty. They were so angry that they did not care about anything and slaughtered an entire Satellite City as revenge. They wanted to attack Lin Feng's team from another angle.
Compared to the Fringe, many people ignored Lin Feng's team's battle record in the Imperial Jade Seal's Dimensional Portal.
Or perhaps it was due to the impact of the massacre in the city that the people and the media did not publicize it or dare to publicize it.
Otherwise, their achievements in Imperial Jade Seal City wouldn't pale in comparison to their achievements in the Fringe.
It was natural for Lin Feng's group of seven to obtain the Guardian's Prologue.
However, Dong Xiaomei and Yue Mingming's contributions were not that great.
After all, they didn't participate in the plan to hunt down the geniuses of the other races, and they weren't very strong either. They were more of a supporting role.
If they could obtain the Guardian Emblem, many others would be able to obtain it.
Yun Tianqi, Ye Xing, and Bu Zheng had performed outstandingly this time and killed a lot of outsiders. Although it was a bit surprising that they were able to obtain the Prologue of Guardians, it was understandable.
As for He Jun and Chen Tianming, who joined the team later, they had only made contributions to the Fringe and played a supporting role. How did they receive the Guardian Emblem?
This was what puzzled Wang Jian.
Wang Jian was not the only one who was puzzled. He Jun and the others were also puzzled. They were still in a state of dizziness from the beginning, and their eyes were somewhat dull as they stared at the medals on their chests.
All of this felt like a dream.
In fact, Wang Jian didn't know that the higher-ups had evenly distributed the credit for Lin Feng's closing of the Fringe to the other team members. Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn't have just received the Guardian Emblem. He would have received the Prologue of Guardians instead.
This was a medal that could only be obtained by protecting a country.
It was also the highest medal.
In the entire country, there were 179 people with the Guardian Emblem. This time, there were 17 people in Lin Feng's team, so there were 196 people in total. However, only 37 people had the Guardian Emblem, and every one of them was a national hero.
Currently, only three of the 13 Emperors of China had the Guardian Emblem.
"Alright, my mission is complete, but there's one more thing I need to tell you."
Wang Jian looked at Lin Feng as he spoke, but his expression was somewhat hesitant.
"What is it?" Lin Feng asked directly.
"This time, you're going to seal off the 7-star and 8-star spatial gateways, right?"
"Yes, but the prerequisite is that the alien race hasn't taken the key."
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Wang Jian hesitated for a moment before he finally said, "With your strength, can you enter the 9-star spatial gateways?"
Lin Feng frowned slightly.
With their current strength, entering the 9-star spatial gateways would be very dangerous.
Their lives would be in danger!
In the Fringe and the maple forest, the main reason they were able to kill Kings was because of the spatial suppression. Because of this suppression, the Kings' strength was limited.
The 9-star spatial gateways could allow Kings to unleash most of their strength.
If they were not careful, the entire team could be wiped out.
It would be difficult to even protect themselves in there, not to mention that they were wanted by the alien race. As soon as they appeared, they would be surrounded and killed.
Now was not the time, at least not in the short term.
Before participating in the plan, Lin Feng didn't want to expose the full strength of his team.
Exposing their strength would indirectly expose He Jun's ability.
At this critical juncture, Lin Feng didn't want to complicate things.
Now was not the time to reveal their true strength.
Seeing Lin Feng frowning slightly and not replying, Wang Jian shook his head and sighed, "I'm thinking too much. You guys are already excellent enough."
Wang Jian knew that Lin Feng's team's strength wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Being able to seal an 8-star spatial gateways was already very incredible.
The higher the grade of the spatial gateways, the harder it was to seal them.
It wasn't impossible to seal a 9-star spatial gateway, but the price would be too high. The casualties would be disastrous.
No one or organization had ever publicly announced that they would seal a 9-star spatial gateway.
With Lin Feng's team's current strength, it might be possible, but that was in the future. Ten years later, it was still too early.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Wang Jian said and turned to leave.
"Wait."
Just as he was about to open the door, Lin Feng suddenly shouted. Wang Jian turned around with a puzzled expression.
"What is it? Just say it. It might be possible."
Lin Feng looked at Wang Jian and said.
If there were no accidents, the plan to become a King would begin in half a year.
They had half a year's time to prepare.
Sealing 7-star and 8-star spatial gateways in half a year's time could increase their strength by a level.
Half a year later, entering a 9-star spatial gateway and completing a mission was not impossible.
Of course, the premise was that the mission wasn't known by others.
"Is it possible?"
Wang Jian's eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief.
Obviously, he couldn't believe that Lin Feng's team really dared to enter a 9-star spatial gateway. However, Lin Feng's team was good at creating miracles. The impossible seemed possible.
"Just say it."
Lin Feng said impatiently.
He hated this kind of hesitant way of speaking.
Wang Jian didn't care about Lin Feng's impatience. This time, he didn't hesitate and said directly, "The higher-ups hope that you can enter a 9-star spatial gateway to save a person?"
"Save a person?
Save who? "
Lin Feng asked.
"I can't tell you the person, but it's very important. It's very important to the country and even to the whole world."
Wang Jian's expression became serious and his tone was filled with admiration.
Lin Feng didn't respond immediately.
To save a person and not reveal his identity, it was obviously to keep it a secret.
It was impossible for a Ruler to exist in a 9-star spatial gateway. A Ruler couldn't affect the whole world either.
To be able to be so important to the whole world, he was most likely a talent in scientific research.
He was even important to the foreign races.
Otherwise, the foreign races wouldn't have imprisoned him. If he was so important, they would have just killed him.
At this moment, Yunkai and the others looked at Lin Feng, waiting for his decision.
Since the country was helpless, it was obvious that this mission wasn't that simple. It was even more difficult than they imagined.
Moreover, they weren't informed in advance, so the mission was full of uncertainty.
Seeing that Lin Feng seemed to be thinking, Wang Jian didn't urge him or show any expression.
In fact, he didn't want to tell Lin Feng's team about this mission because in his opinion, it was definitely not something that they could complete.
Even a team of more than 10 kings wouldn't be able to complete it.
The difficulty was too great and beyond imagination.
It was just that this time, Lin Feng's team's achievements were too unbelievable, so the higher-ups had this unrealistic and tentative idea.
In Wang Jian's opinion, Lin Feng would refuse.
However, after a moment of silence, Lin Feng said, "Okay, but you need 14 divine soul skills!"
