I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield - Chapter 556 - 450: Truth, Recognition, and Fury (Part 2)
Chapter 556: Chapter 450: Truth, Recognition, and Fury (Part 2)
Qin Tian’s gaze fell on the stretcher, his expression became solemn, he spoke slowly, his voice reaching every corner of the Ice Extreme Pass: “The ones who attacked the safe house are these people—they are the Xue Dao Battle Group under the Luoho Clan, directly commanded by Inzaghi Luoho.”
“Inzaghi Luoho!”
Upon hearing this name, the hearts of the warriors were shocked.
They were all too aware of the weight of this name—the direct lineage descendant of the Nine Great Holy Bloods, actual controller of the Soul Splitting Ice Valley, and a significant figure on the entire Mingwang Planet.
They had long known that the Army Commander was at odds with the Luoho Clan, and previously, Administrative Officer Duan Guangtai targeted the Army Commander, with the shadow of the Luoho Clan behind it.
But they had never imagined that Inzaghi Luoho would directly target the safe house at the Ice Extreme Pass for the sake of power struggle.
It’s important to know, even though the safe house is small, it is an official military stronghold of the Ice Extreme Pass. Attacking a stronghold, killing Royal Soldiers, this is not simple conflict, but a blatant provocation to the Royal Military Department, trampling on the authority of the Empire, extremely atrocious in nature.
Qin Tian continued speaking, with a hint of sharpness in his tone: “Not long ago during the snowstorm, Duan Guangtai, as the Administrative Officer, led people to desert at the most perilous time for the base. Now that the crisis has been resolved, he knows his actions will surely be severely punished by the Empire, so he sought help from Inzaghi Luoho, hoping the latter would intercede and prevent me from reporting his crimes.”
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the angry soldiers, and continued: “Inzaghi Luoho indeed ’interceded’—but his method was to dispatch the Xue Dao Battle Group to attack the safe house and kill our soldiers, attempting to pressure me into sparing Duan Guangtai through such cruel means.”
The truth exploded in everyone’s ears like thunder, and the warriors at the Ice Extreme Pass felt an even more intense turmoil within their hearts.
It turned out that the sacrifice of three comrades was not accidental, but a “bargaining chip” used by Duan Guangtai to absolve himself of his crimes with the lives of his comrades!
Anger erupted like a volcano, the hatred for Duan Guangtai, the fury towards Inzaghi Luoho, instantly filled everyone’s chest.
Duan Guangtai’s desertion was already disgraceful, now for self-preservation, he implicated his comrades.
And Inzaghi Luoho even treated the lives of Royal Soldiers as worthless, trampling upon them, using them as tools to make an example.
In contrast, the Army Commander, for the sake of three ordinary soldiers, Qin Army Commander did not hesitate to completely break ties with the Luoho Clan, even if the other party was of the Holy Blood direct lineage, he unswervingly dispatched elite forces, slaughtering hundreds of enemies and bringing back a “Jingguan” for revenge.
Such a commander who dares to stand up for soldiers and resist authority is the true leader worthy of their followership.
The square was silent, only the wind and snow howling, but in everyone’s heart, burned the mourning for comrades, anger towards the enemy, and trust in Qin Tian.
Qin Tian took in the anger and awe in the soldiers’ eyes, he slowly raised his hand, his voice deeper than before: “Everyone, salute!”
Following his words, the square instantly rang with the sound of armor clashing in unison.
Qin Tian was the first to raise his hand, performing a standard military salute towards the three bodies on the stretcher, the warriors at Ice Extreme Pass straightened their backs, solemnly saluting.
After the salute, Qin Tian lowered his arm, his gaze sweeping through the ranks, he said in a deep voice: “Zhang Hao!”
“Here!”
Regiment Captain Zhang Hao stepped forward abruptly.
“Immediately return to command to draft a battle report, thoroughly submitting the entire process of the safe house attack, three soldiers’ sacrifice, and the clearing of the Xue Dao Battle Group to the Military Department.”
Qin Tian’s voice was icy, “Clarify our stance to the Military Department, this matter cannot be settled casually, whether it’s the deserter Duan Guangtai, or Inzaghi Luoho who ordered the attack on colleagues, they must be held accountable for their actions!”
“Yes! I guarantee the task will be completed!”
Zhang Hao responded loudly, turned and quickly ran towards the command post.
Qin Tian shifted his gaze to the other regiment captain: “Ma Jun, ensure the proper handling of the three martyrs’ bodies, guarantee body integrity. Once the investigators from the Military Department arrive, verify the autopsy with the battle report, and proceed with cremation according to Royal Army regulations. Using the Military Department exclusive passage, ensure the ashes are delivered to their families.”
Under the Empire’s military funeral system, as long as conditions allow, the ashes of fallen soldiers must “return to roots”, sent back to relatives, as a comfort to martyrs and a promise of the Empire to soldiers.
However, the three soldiers this time didn’t die on the battlefield but were maliciously attacked. To seek justice for them, ensuring the culprits cannot deny, the investigators from the Military Department must verify the body injuries and confirm consistency with the battle report before proceeding with the next steps.
“Yes!”
The second regiment captain saluted, immediately calling several trusted soldiers over, carefully lifting the stretcher to move the bodies.
On the square, the wind and snow persisted, but the grisly “Jingguan” and stretcher covered with the military flag etched a profound imprint in everyone’s heart.
Standing in the wind and snow, Qin Tian looked towards the direction of the Soul Splitting Ice Valley, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
…
Royal star, in the top floor office of the Military Department building, sunlight streamed through large floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling onto the cold-glowing desk.
Yang Zheng held the battle report just sent from Ice Extreme Pass, after reading it word by word, he slammed the report on the desk, a satisfied expression flashing unrestrained in his eyes, exclaiming:
“Good! Truly courageous!”
Qin Tian had just arrived on Mingwang Planet, without local networks to support him, nor deep backing to rely on, yet faced the deeply rooted Luoho Clan, and the direct lineage Inzaghi Luoho wielding real power.
