"Battalion Commander Qin, please wait."Outside the battle group, Li Wufeng called out to Qin Tian.Qin Tian stopped, turned to look at Li Wufeng. This burly officer walked with a powerful stride, his back straight, fully displaying a soldier's demeanor."Battalion Commander Li, is something wrong?"Li Wufeng extended his hand, his palm covered in calluses, marks left by years of holding a saber. "There were too many people in the tent just now, so we didn't get to properly introduce ourselves. I am Li Wufeng, an active ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Lieutenant Colonel in the 35th Army of the Liyue Star Region. By military rank, I should address you as my superior.""Battalion Commander Li, you are too kind."Qin Tian shook Li Wufeng's hand and said with a faint smile, "Here, we are both Battalion Commanders and colleagues. We should help each other in the future.""Haha, yes, help each other."Li Wufeng's laughter was hearty. "Your words put my mind at ease."After speaking, he glanced behind him and lowered his voice: "Battalion Commander Qin, you must have heard about the conflict between Regiment Commander Yan and the Third Battalion. I cannot say much else, but please make sure to inspect those activation devices beforehand. This concerns whether our two battalions can escape safely, so you must be extremely careful.""Understood, I will inspect them beforehand," Qin Tian said seriously.He knew what Li Wufeng was worried about."Good, all plans have been discussed in the meeting. I won't say anything more. I hope our two battalions can successfully complete this mission."Li Wufeng looked at Qin Tian's young yet steady face, and for a moment, his vision blurred.He remembered when Xu Xiong was still around, repeatedly arguing with Yan Song at regimental meetings based on reason. However, Xu Xiong's eyes often carried anger and unwillingness then. In contrast, Qin Tian's calm gaze hid a sharp edge, like a deep pool, its surface undisturbed, but beneath it lay undercurrents capable of overturning giant ships.For some reason, a sudden, inexplicable confidence surged in Li Wufeng's heart, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes.Third Battalion, camp. "Yan Song! That bastard!"Lu Sheng's fists clenched, cracking audibly, his voice almost squeezed through his teeth.Inside the tent, Shen Juan's expression was also extremely grim. Yan Song's arrangement clearly used the Third Battalion as bait, completely disregarding their lives.The thought of Yan Song's repeated malicious targeting, even his ice-cold bloodline, could not suppress the rage in his heart.Compared to the two, Xiong, Terrida, and Poison Widow appeared quite calm."Alright, there's no need to be too angry about this."Qin Tian said calmly, "Since we've come to Demon Suppression Abyss, we must be prepared to face any situation. With the Gate of Void, completing the mission won't be difficult.""Battalion Commander, I also believe we can successfully complete the mission, it's just this Yan Song—"Lu Sheng gnashed his teeth. "That son of a bitch keeps targeting our Third Battalion. I'm just worried that the better we perform, the more he'll get excited and assign us even more dangerous missions in the future.""We'll discuss that problem later."Qin Tian waved his hand, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. If Yan Song really did that, he wouldn't mind acquiring another golden-tier talent light orb."Let's put the mission aside for now."Qin Tian's expression became serious. "How to safely get through the Demon Tide is our top priority now."The Demon Tide is a periodic phenomenon unique to Demon Suppression Abyss, with extremely unstable eruption cycles, occurring every three days to half a month, each lasting several hours.When the Demon Tide erupts, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within Demon Suppression Abyss is completely polluted by dense demonic energy, forming an environment highly corrosive to non-demonic creatures. All demons during this period enter a berserk state, with their strength significantly increasing.What's more dangerous is that the Demon Tide greatly enhances demons' perception of living auras, expanding their perception range several times over compared to normal. Even minor life activities could attract hundreds or thousands of demons.Therefore, during the Demon Tide, all troops stationed in Demon Suppression Abyss must strictly conceal their auras, avoid any actions that might expose their positions, and minimize the probability of conflict with demons. Otherwise, they are highly likely to face a catastrophe."We are too close to the Demon Cave. Even if we hide, we will still be perceived by wandering demons, so we must move to a safer place now," Qin Tian said."I thought so too, but I'm just afraid Yan Song won't agree." Shen Juan frowned deeply.Lu Sheng abruptly turned his head to look outside the tent, his thick palm gripping the hilt of his great saber, making a creaking sound as he snorted coldly: "Our every move has probably already been reported to Yan Song by that informant. Relocate? It would be strange if he didn't take the opportunity to make things difficult!""Leave this to me," Qin Tian waved his hand, a faint glow flickering in his eyes. "What you need to do now is quickly organize the team. Destroy all useless junk. We depart promptly in 20 minutes.""Yes!"The two responded and left. The moment the tent flap was lifted, a sulfur-scented wind blew in.Lu Sheng's loud voice soon echoed through the camp: "Everyone, move faster! Get your gear ready, prepare to relocate!"The news spread like wildfire throughout the camp, and the previously tired soldiers instantly perked up."Finally, we're leaving! I don't want to stay in this cursed place for another second!" A young soldier said, excitedly packing his backpack, unable to hide the thrill in his eyes."Yeah, every day here is nerve-wracking, fearing that the nearby Demon Cave will target us.""Let's go, let's go!"The soldiers quickly sprang into action.Just then, a figure quietly moved to a secluded corner and took out a sound-transmitting stone."Li Fei."Suddenly, a clear, cold voice sounded from behind him.Liaison Officer Li Fei abruptly turned around. When he saw Qin Tian behind him, his body immediately stiffened, and he nervously said, "Bat—Battalion Commander."Qin Tian walked in front of Li Fei and said calmly, "Li Fei, there's no need to report every single detail about our Third Battalion to the regiment headquarters, is there?"Hearing this, Li Fei was silent for a moment, then, as if gathering courage, he looked up at Qin Tian."Battalion Commander, this is the task the Regiment Commander gave me, and I must complete it. Besides, relocating positions is a major matter. Without the Regiment Commander's permission, what you are doing is a serious violation of discipline."Qin Tian's eyebrows twitched slightly. "You should also know that once the Demon Tide arrives, our current position is too close to the Demon Cave, and we are highly likely to attract a demonic siege. Relocating is to protect your safety, my safety, and even the safety of the entire Third Battalion.""But we need to get the Regiment Commander's permission before we can act." Li Fei stared intently into Qin Tian's eyes, but then lowered his head under Qin Tian's calm yet oppressive gaze, his heart trembling."It seems you are truly loyal to Yan Song~"Qin Tian smiled faintly. "In that case, we'll just have to do something simple and crude."Hearing this, Li Fei's heart jumped, and he quickly said, "Battalion Commander..."Before he could finish speaking, Qin Tian's hand clasped his head, and then a powerful mental will invaded his mind.Soul Imprint!
