After flying for nearly two hours above the icy plains, Qin Tian finally looked through the window and saw a blue outline on the distant ice—that was the Ice Limit Pass.As the distance closed, the full appearance of the Ice Limit Pass became increasingly clear.A Great Wall forged from profound ice did not extend in a straight line, but formed a perfect ring, securely enclosing the entire area.The Profound Ice wall emitted a cold, pale blue luster, standing over twenty meters high and about ten meters thick, like a frozen giant ring, completely separating the Ice Limit Pass from the outside icy plains.Inside the ring, ice houses were scattered, their roofs covered with half a meter of snow, and sharp icicles hung from the eaves, reflecting a faint cold light under the hazy sky.Snowflakes continued to drift down, the ground snow reaching above the calves; stepping on it produced a “crunching” sound. Personnel wearing heavy anti-freeze suits hurried through the ice houses, their steps quick but orderly. Occasionally, the low hum of an Energy Furnace could be heard, a rare sign of life in this frozen wilderness.On top of the ring-shaped Great Wall, a garrison soldier stood every ten meters. Their white anti-freeze suits blended with the snow, and only the eyes beneath their helmets were sharp as eagles, fixed on the distant icy plains.The Energy Rifles in their hands were fully calibrated. Even as the wind and snow rustled their anti-freeze suits, they maintained a straight posture, like guardian statues on the ice ring.Qin Tian instructed the pilot to lower the altitude. From the air, the entire Ice Limit Pass resembled an isolated island protected by an ice ring. The area inside the ring-shaped Great Wall was the only settlement, while outside lay endless, pure white icy plains. Within a thousand kilometers, there were no other signs of buildings or life; only this ice fortress maintained a small yet tenacious vitality in the extreme environment.“General Qin, the main city gate is due south. We are preparing to land.”The pilot’s voice came through.Qin Tian looked below the porthole. A gate in the southern section of the ice and snow Great Wall was slowly opening. Soldiers at the entrance were lined up, ready to welcome the arrival of the new garrison commander.The aircraft landed smoothly on the apron inside the main gate of the Ice Limit Pass, and the hatch slid open slowly.Qin Tian, dressed in a thin black Major General’s uniform, stepped out. The wind and snow rushed toward him but stopped three feet away, as if hitting an invisible barrier, the snowflakes instantly melting into vapor. Fierce winds swept past, yet his clothes remained completely still, as if he were walking in a self-contained space isolated from the icy plains.This seemingly effortless demeanor caused the hearts of all the soldiers at the Ice Limit Pass to tighten, and their gaze toward the new garrison commander held a hint of awe.“General Qin, welcome to the Ice Limit Pass.” A steady voice sounded.Qin Tian looked up and saw a man in his thirties quickly approaching.【Remember the fastest novel website on the whole network: 101kan.com】His appearance was not outstanding, but he possessed the rugged features typical of a soldier. Unlike the heavy anti-freeze suits worn by other soldiers, he was also wearing a smart military uniform, relying only on the abundant Qi and Blood within his body to resist the biting cold. His Spiritual Energy fluctuations were condensed and solid, indicating considerable strength.“General Hai, hello.” Qin Tian extended his hand, his tone peaceful yet measured.The man before him was the outgoing former garrison commander of the Ice Limit Pass—Major General Hai Mo.The information provided by Yang Zheng detailed him thoroughly: Hai Mo was 42 this year, originating from a Silver Bloodline Family and a descendant of a military family. He received top-tier military training from a young age and joined the military immediately after graduating from the Military Academy. Relying on his excellent military competence,the talent of his Silver Bloodline, and strong family support, he had a smooth path, rising all the way to Major General.Three years ago, he was assigned to the Ice Limit Pass to serve as the garrison commander, primarily overseeing defense.Unfortunately, Hai Mo was “good material for fighting,” but not “skilled at development.”In these three years, he managed the defense of the Ice Limit Pass flawlessly, but made no progress in regional development. He neither discovered valuable resource veins nor attracted new populations or factions to settle, leaving the Ice Limit Pass in a state of “barely maintaining.”Seeing this, the Military Department stopped allocating more resources and decided this year to have me replace his position.“General Hai, I apologize for being a few months late,” Qin Tian said, holding the other man’s hand with a hint of apology in his tone. “After departing from the Qingmu Star Region, I encountered an accident midway, which delayed my assumption of duty.”“General Qin, there’s no need to worry!”Hearing this, Hai Mo laughed heartily and clapped Qin Tian’s arm, speaking frankly, ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) “We are all soldiers. I believe General Qin rushed here as fast as possible after receiving the transfer order. As for accidents, no one can predict them.”“In fact, I wanted to say thank you to General Qin.”He turned to look at the Ice Limit Pass behind him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and sighed, “I have been stationed at the Ice Limit Pass for three years. To be honest, I’ve barely slept soundly in those three years. Thousands of brothers under me followed me, hoping I could lead them to expand our territory, earn merit, and get promoted. But my capability is truly limited. I kept the Ice Limit Pass confined to this small area, and I haven’t even been able to improve my brothers’ basic living conditions much. I am truly ashamed.”As he finished speaking, Hai Mo’s voice grew heavier, but then a relieved smile appeared on his face: “Now that you are here, I can finally put down this heavy burden and go do what I am good at. From this point of view, I truly must thank General Qin. From now on, the defense of the Ice Limit Pass, the future of our brothers, and this territory awaiting development—I entrust it all to General Qin!”“Let’s go, General Qin. The wind and snow are too heavy outside. Let’s head inside, and I’ll brief you on the current situation of the Ice Limit Pass.”“Alright, thank you for the trouble, General Hai.”Hai Mo led Qin Tian into the Ice Limit Pass.Qin Tian glanced around and simultaneously released his perception. The interior of the Ice Limit Pass was similar to the scene he had just surveyed from above: there was a dense residential area of ice houses, and also underground ice cellars where Energy Furnaces were stored.The power source for the Energy Furnaces was a special Crystal Stone, which, after being converted by the furnaces, turned into electrical energy to supply the camp’s daily power needs.In addition, there were public areas such as the equipment room, storage room, mess hall, bathhouse, and Training Ground.The layout was simple and clear.Hai Mo led Qin Tian directly into his room. The ice house wasn't large, about 50 square meters, but the furniture was complete: a bed, a desk, and a separate washroom. Because it was connected to the Energy Furnace's heating supply, the indoor temperature was around ten degrees Celsius, which was acceptable even for ordinary people.After the door closed, Hai Mo took out the materials he had prepared, such as the personnel roster, equipment inventory, Snow Beast distribution map, and so on, and introduced them to Qin Tian in detail.Qin Tian listened attentively, occasionally asking Hai Mo questions, which Hai Mo answered fully and honestly.“General Qin, the situation at the Ice Limit Pass is actually very simple—just these things, but—”A look of seriousness appeared on Hai Mo’s face. He used his Spiritual Energy to compress his voice into a thread and transmitted it into Qin Tian’s ear, “You need to watch out for one person.”Hearing this, Qin Tian’s eyes flickered. In fact, even if Hai Mo hadn’t mentioned it, he had already learned of this person’s existence from Yang Feng’s files.Duan Guangtai, the new Administrative Officer of the Ice Limit Pass, assists the garrison commander in managing political affairs. This person’s background is quite interesting.Duan Guangtai was once one of the high-ranking members of the Soul Splitting Ice Valley, but two months ago, he was transferred to the small Ice Limit Pass to serve as the Administrative Officer. Although the position seemed like a promotion, the scope of his jurisdiction and the power he held were greatly reduced.Yang Zheng also clearly stated in the files that Duan Guangtai belongs to the Luohu Family, one of the Nine Great saint blood Families, and the Luohu Family has always been at odds with Marshal Lin.It is obvious, then, that Duan Guangtai’s transfer was not for any other reason; he was coming specifically for him.
