"Battalion Commander Qin.""Battalion Commander Qin!"The surviving soldiers gathered around, their eyes filled with excitement, mixed with the relief of surviving a catastrophe and an unspeakable reverence.The world-destroying purple lightning still roared in their minds, and the warmth of the healing light still coursed through their limbs. For soldiers, nothing was more reassuring than following a powerful individual who could shield them from the storm.The new Battalion Commander, with just a few waves of heavenly lightning, had annihilated the Bull-horned Demons that had nearly crushed them. The green light he wielded could even regrow severed arms. This power, this method, had truly hammered the words "sense of security" into the bones of every single person."Battalion Commander Qin, my name is Lu Sheng, and I am the First Company Commander of the Third Battalion." Lu Sheng straightened his body; the injury on his chest was no longer serious thanks to the healing energy. He walked up to Qin Tian and bowed deeply to the young new Battalion Commander,"On behalf of all my brothers, I thank you."If the new Battalion Commander hadn't arrived in time, the Third Battalion would have been completely wiped out, and he and his brothers wouldn't even have been able to preserve their corpses.Not only that, the new Battalion Commander had allowed disabled brothers to regrow their arms, those with broken legs to stand again, and the blind to regain their sight, reigniting their hope and fighting spirit. This kindness was as heavy as a mountain.Qin Tian reached out and helped him up, his tone steady: "You don't need to thank me. Protecting my subordinates is my responsibility as a Battalion Commander. Furthermore, it's precisely because of everyone's bloody battle that you were able to hold on until my arrival."After speaking, Qin Tian looked around. The number of people was about 200, much fewer than he had anticipated."Battalion Commander Shen, is this all that's left of the Third Battalion?"The excitement on Shen Juan's face faded a bit, replaced by a deep bitterness: "Yes, originally the Third Battalion had over 500 people, but after several battles, the casualties were heavy, and the number is now less than half."As they spoke, Shen Juan's peripheral vision subtly scanned to the side. There were some things he found inconvenient to say now. If it weren't for the faulty command from the Battle Group headquarters, the Third Battalion would not have been reduced to this extent."Is that so~"Qin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, then he changed the subject, giving everyone a reassurance: "Besides me, I've also brought nearly 200 soldiers to join the Third Battalion. They'll be here shortly."After entering Demon Suppression Abyss, they had first gone to the Crimson Gold Battle Group's headquarters under the guidance of the Beast Tamer to report, and then rushed to the Third Battalion without stopping.On the way, he had sensed the unusual demonic energy near this outpost from a distance. Without knowing the demons' true strength, he decided to come alone first to investigate, with the main force following behind.Another 200 soldiers are joining!!!The eyes of the surviving soldiers instantly lit up. Their heavy hearts felt as if they were pierced by sunlight. In a place like Demon Suppression Abyss, one more ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) person meant one more chance to survive. Lu Sheng couldn't help but rub his hands, grinning: "That's great! With Battalion Commander Qin and other soldiers joining, our Third Battalion can finally catch a breath!"Shen Juan also let out a sigh of relief, his tense shoulders slumping slightly.A moment later, the sound of orderly footsteps came from a distance, not the chaotic hoofbeats of demons, but the clanging of armor against the ground, dense and heavy, carrying an unstoppable momentum."They're here!"Someone shouted, pointing into the distance.Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a line of burly men in heavy black armor striding forward. The metallic symphony of armor plates rubbing together made the air tremble. They carried giant axes, long spears, and great sabers on their shoulders. Un-dried bloodstains still clung to the gaps in their armor, clearly indicating they had just been through a battle. Each person's eyes were sharp and resolute, clearly warriors forged in blood and fire.The figure at the very front was particularly striking—a Half-Beast, nearly three meters tall, with arms thicker than an ordinary person's thighs. His exposed skin was covered in brown fur. With every step, the ground trembled slightly. He carried a giant axe the size of a door on his shoulder, and the cold glint from its blade made the soldiers instinctively hold their breath.Beside the Half-Beast, a captivating figure stood in stark contrast to the iron-blooded scene. It was an exceptionally beautiful woman, clad in a form-fitting combat suit that accentuated her breathtaking curves. Silver spider silk coiled around her fingertips, gleaming coldly in the sunlight. A half-smile played on her red lips, but when her eyes swept over everyone, they were like a venomous spider locking onto its prey, making people afraid to meet her gaze.Next to the woman, a figure like a silent beast, with frost-white hair wildly dancing in the wind, creating a stark contrast with his black armor. He carried a heavy executioner's blade on his shoulder, and his chiseled face showed no expression, only eyes as sharp as an eagle's, harboring a bloodthirsty ferocity that made people's hearts clench."Th-this is the reinforcement Battalion Commander Qin brought!"The soldiers' hearts surged. These people were clearly elite warriors. With their addition, the Third Battalion finally had a chance to breathe, and the confidence to face demons in Demon Suppression Abyss.Bang~The main force stopped in front of Qin Tian. Poison Widow stepped forward, her usually languid voice now carrying a hint of crispness, "Boss, we encountered some demons on the way, so we're a little late."Xiong usually didn't like to talk, and Terrida was not familiar with the Imperial language, so the task of external communication for the team was given to Poison Widow.As for Li Qi, who was not present, he was off executing other tasks Qin Tian had assigned him.Boss?This address...The soldiers exchanged glances, their gazes wandering between Qin Tian and Poison Widow, a knowing smile playing on their lips, their expressions quite peculiar.In a military unit with strict discipline, superiors and subordinates always addressed each other by rank. Such an intimate form of address truly invited speculation.Lu Sheng secretly nudged the soldier next to him with his elbow, his winks and gestures impossible to hide.Qin Tian, being extremely perceptive, instantly noticed the soldiers' unusual behavior.He glanced at Poison Widow, cleared his throat, and his tone became a little more serious: "From now on, in the military, use official titles in work settings."Poison Widow's eyebrow arched slightly, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes. She deliberately straightened her back, her already voluptuous figure becoming even more striking in the form-fitting combat suit. Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice suddenly became crisp: "Yes, Battalion Commander!"With all the Third Battalion personnel present, Qin Tian first assessed the camp's situation.The camp was ridiculously crude. Aside from a few medical tents that barely offered shelter for the injured, there wasn't even a proper tent anywhere else. When soldiers were tired, they simply lay on the ground to sleep. Food, water, and other living supplies were also relatively scarce."Are supplies usually delivered on time?" Qin Tian looked at Shen Juan.Shen Juan shook his head: "It's been very unstable recently. The last batch of supplies arrived ten days ago."Hearing this, Qin Tian frowned slightly. Shen Juan's statement differed from the information he had gathered.When he had arrived at the Crimson Gold Battle Group to report earlier, he had used controlled flying insects to scout the entire Battle Group headquarters. The warehouse was well-stocked with all kinds of supplies, from weapons to daily necessities, and there was no shortage.Could it be that some people in the Third Battalion had offended the Battle Group leadership, and were being deliberately targeted?He wasn't worried about the supply issue. Various supplies were piled up like mountains in the Yin Space, enough even if the Third Battalion's numbers quadrupled.But if there was discord between the Third Battalion and the Crimson Gold Battle Group headquarters, it would be a significant hidden danger.After all, as a subordinate battalion-level unit of the Crimson Gold Battle Group, they ultimately had to follow the Battle Group headquarters' command."Battalion Commander Shen, Company Commander Lu, both of you come here. I'd like to understand more about the situation of our Third Battalion."Qin Tian called Shen Juan and Lu Sheng aside and questioned them in detail. At the same time, the liaison officer within the Third Battalion also reported what had happened here to the Battle Group headquarters.The Crimson Gold Battle Group's communication liaison officer put down his voice transmission stone and quickly went to the Battle Group's main tent, found Commander Yan Song, and reported the situation truthfully."Oh? It seems the Third Battalion has gotten an extraordinary Battalion Commander~"Yan Song's eyes flickered. He turned to his aide: "Are there any major families named Qin in the Qingmu Star Region? With a lightning-element bloodline."The aide thought for a moment and shook his head: "At least among the Silver-tier and above bloodline families, there are no Qin families."After speaking, the aide retrieved Qin Tian's file again, scanned it, and said:"Qin Tian, a Colonel from the Seventh Bureau, a Five-Stage Psionicist. The family background section is empty. He appears to be from a humble background.""Is that so~"Yan Song stroked his chin, then revealed a meaningful smile: "Regardless, the arrival of a capable Battalion Commander is a good thing. This way, my plan will be even more assured."
