I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield - Chapter 586 - 461: Assigning the Generals

Chapter 586: Chapter 461: Assigning the Generals

“Military Lord!”

“The Military Lord is back!”

When Qin Tian’s figure appeared at the gates of the Ice Extreme Pass, the soldiers on the city walls and in the square boiled over. They put down their weapons and gathered around excitedly, their eyes filled with admiration and awe.

Before tonight, no one dared to believe that the Luoho Clan would audaciously attack an Empire military base like this.

As a result, when the battle first erupted, many soldiers even held a grim determination to die.

They knew the terror of the Holy Blood Clan and understood the disparity in power between the two sides, only hoping to hold out for just one more second, and to make the enemy pay even at the cost of their lives.

But no one expected that this crisis, which seemed destined to wipe out Ice Extreme Pass, would be resolved so effortlessly.

The powerful ambushers were all slain by the Military Lord alone, and the surging horde of Snow Beasts was frozen in a single move by the Military Lord’s friend, Mr. Lan.

From start to finish, aside from the Military Lord and Mr. Lan, no one else even had a chance to act.

This victory stirred the heart even more than the recent battle against the ice storm.

Back then, their opponents were merely a mindless swarm of Snow Beasts, but this time, they faced the Holy Blood Clan, which could dictate the Empire’s fate.

In their eyes, the Holy Blood Clan was like an existence high in the clouds, while the small Ice Extreme Pass was but a speck of dust on the border.

To hold Ice Extreme Pass against the night raid of the Luoho Clan is proof enough of the terrifying power now inherent within Ice Extreme Pass.

Qin Tian looked at the approaching soldiers, raised his hand slightly, signaling for silence.

As the scene gradually calmed, his expression became stern, and he spoke solemnly: “Although the Luoho Clan has been driven back, this matter cannot be left unresolved, Zhang Hao!”

“Here!”

Regimental Commander Zhang Hao immediately stepped forward, standing straight with a respectful demeanor.

“Report tonight’s situation to the Military Department immediately,” Qin Tian’s voice resounded throughout the area. “Tonight, the Luoho Clan dispatched a Tier Seven Holy Blood, twelve Tier Six Spiritualists, and over three hundred Tier Four and above elite forces to launch a night assault on Ice Extreme Pass. Thankfully, our side was well-prepared. Except for the Tier Seven Holy Blood who escaped by luck, all others were killed. The Luoho Clan blatantly disregarded the Empire’s iron law and attacked a military stronghold openly. Request the Military Department to punish them severely!”

As he finished speaking, a deathly silence enveloped the scene.

The excitement frozen on the soldiers’ faces was replaced by incomprehensible shock, and many even doubted their own ears.

A Tier Seven Holy Blood, twelve Tier Six, over three hundred High Tier elites?

Only now did they realize that the formidable array just confronted by the Military Lord was so terrifying!

Even Li Qi, the Poisonous Widow, and Old Ghost—people who had been with Qin Tian for many years—felt immense upheaval within.

They knew their boss was strong, but never imagined he was this strong.

They had speculated that the Luoho Clan would send elites, but who would have thought they would send a Tier Seven Holy Blood?

Holy Bloods are invincible in their tier, the pinnacle countless Spiritualists aspire to!

Yet not only did the boss confront them with a Tier Six presence, but he also slaughtered all their forces, leaving only the Holy Blood to escape. Such strength is simply unfathomable!

Li Qi’s gaze flickered intensely as a bold speculation flashed in his mind—he was well aware of the power contained in his Night Demon Bloodline, which was by no means inferior to the Golden Bloodline. And as its origin, the boss’s bloodline level must be higher.

At first, he assumed the boss’s bloodline was at best the pinnacle Golden Bloodline, but now it seemed… perhaps the boss’s bloodline had already touched the domain of “Holy Blood”?

This thought emerged and could no longer be suppressed, even quickening his heartbeat.

“Also…”

Qin Tian looked at Zhang Hao, adding, “Report about the Cold Tree as well, and say that we’ve found a Cold Tree that can stably provide a cold environment. We will quickly research and develop a cultivation plan.”

“Yes! Yes! I will take care of it immediately!” Zhang Hao finally snapped back to reality, hastily responding.

Watching Zhang Hao’s hurried departure, Qin Tian turned, his gaze landing on Lan beside him, the solemnity on his face giving way to a sincere smile:

“Lan, thank you for earlier.”

In fact, Qin Tian had two plans in mind when he asked Lan to intervene during the crisis—one was as a backup, in case Jie La and the others couldn’t cope; the other was to take this opportunity to see Lan’s true capabilities.

The power that Lan displayed certainly did not disappoint him.

Freezing thousands of Snow Beasts in one move, even the Tier Six Snow Beast hidden among them was unable to resist. Such power was at least at the Seventh Tier level.

More importantly, Lan had just awakened, his power far from its peak. No one could gauge his upper limits.

Lan looked at Qin Tian, nodding slightly, a faint smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.

“Ma Jun!” Qin Tian then looked at the Second Regiment’s leader.

“Here!”

“Take some men and clear the battlefield, don’t waste the Snow Beasts’ bodies, and purify the Spiritual Energy Crystals as soon as possible,” instructed Qin Tian.

“Yes! Mission guaranteed to be completed!”

Ma Jun responded loudly, turning to organize the personnel immediately.

Once the chores were sorted, Qin Tian looked at Li Qi, the Poisonous Widow, Old Ghost, and others, speaking in a calm tone: “Follow me.”

“Yes!”

The group responded in unison, following Qin Tian towards his room.

…

“As you’ve seen, Ice Extreme Pass faces no small number of issues now—the surrounding environment is harsh, the base’s development is lagging, and we’ve now made an enemy of the Luoho Clan. Future troubles will not be few.”
