Chijin Battlegroup

"Am I to serve as the acting leader?"

Qin Tian looked at the messenger officer standing tall before him, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

He originally thought the higher-ups would appoint another Tier Six Spiritualist to replace Yan Song in the Chijin Battlegroup, but unexpectedly, he was chosen as the acting leader.

However, this surprise did not last long. He quickly straightened his spine, his shoulders taut and upright.

"Thank you for the trust of the division leadership." Qin Tian raised his hand to accept the order, his fingertips pressing firmly on the paper. His voice was not loud, yet every word was distinct,

"Qin Tian will not disgrace this mission."

The messenger officer saw the undisguised sharpness in his eyes and smiled approvingly.

Although this young man had not been at war for long, he appeared more composed than the records suggested, exuding a confident aura reminiscent of a battlefield general.

"Leader Qin."

The messenger officer's expression turned solemn as his gaze swept over the warriors arrayed on the training field, his voice amplified through the sound array with a penetrating strength:

"In addition to announcing personnel changes, I am here to commend the Chijin Battlegroup's recent performance and convey the division's operational plans for the next phase."

"In recent operations, the Chijin Battlegroup swept through two major Demon Caves with thunderous momentum, slaying a total of over nineteen thousand seven hundred demons, including more than ten Tier Six demons. Moreover, the Chijin Battlegroup successfully destroyed a demonic qi fissure, cutting off a source of demon birth, achieving remarkable battle accomplishments. "

He paused, emphasizing seriousness in his tone: "By resolution of the division committee, the Chijin Battlegroup is awarded a collective second-class merit. Individual merits for outstanding performance in this battle will be gradually issued within seven days, pending verification of the battle results."

As his words ended, an irrepressible shout erupted on the training field.

A collective second-class merit is an extremely high honor for any battlegroup; this commendation acted as a shot of adrenaline, instantly boosting morale.

"Besides the commendation, there's the deployment for the next phase." The messenger officer shifted focus, "The division commands that the Chijin Battlegroup must set off before noon today, advance three hundred kilometers along the Obsidian Corridor, and garrison the eastern side of the 'Broken Blade Line' at the Infernal Demon Sea."

His face was grave: "Recent monitoring detected abnormal fluctuations of demonic qi within the Infernal Demon Sea, indicating a risk of demon riots. Your task is to fortify the defensive structures and closely monitor movements in the Infernal Demon Sea. "

"During your garrison, you are required to maintain communication with the Tiebi Battle Group to the west and the Xingyuan Battle Group to the north, forming a triangular defense. No matter what happens, you must hold the line firmly, ready to receive the next command deployment at any time."

Infernal Demon Sea~

Qin Tian's eyes flickered slightly. The Infernal Demon Sea is the largest demon gathering area within hundreds of kilometers, with numerous and widespread demons, far more dangerous than the Number One and Number Two Demon Caves. "

But this place...

"Do you have any objections?" The messenger officer looked at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian stepped forward, raised his hand in salute: "Chijin Battlegroup accepts the order, guaranteeing the completion of the garrison mission!"

The messenger officer returned the salute, a smile appearing on his face, "The division looks forward to your performance."

After announcing everything, he did not linger too long, exchanging a few words with Qin Tian before returning to the second layer of the Demon Abyss division.

As soon as the messenger officer's figure vanished from sight, the Chijin Battlegroup's encampment rippled like a pond struck by a stone.

"Haha, Old Shen, our Third Battalion's good days are finally here!"

Lu Sheng slung his arm around Shen Juan's shoulder, grinning from ear to ear. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have laughed heartily. Previously, their Third Battalion was always targeted, more wretched than a neglected child.

But now, their battalion leader has leaped to the position of group leader, henceforth we can walk proudly through the headquarters.

Shen Juan smiled, his body visibly relaxing, and the other warriors of the Third Battalion cheered as soon as the messenger officer disappeared from sight.

Li Wufeng and the warriors of the First Battalion, infected by the Third Battalion's atmosphere, beamed with smiles. They had fought side by side with Leader Qin and were the first battalion to unswervingly stand behind him. With such camaraderie, they believed Leader Qin would not slight the First Battalion.

Feng Xiaotian, Luo Hu, Zhao Yue, the three former confidant battalion leaders of Yan Song, exchanged a glance, their eyes complicated and tinged with concern and apprehension.

The conflict between Qin Tian and Yan Song was known to all, and they were considered Yan Song's confidants. Now that Qin Tian assumed leadership, would he target us?

The only consolation now was that it was Yan Song who had antagonized Qin Tian. They had not participated in any way; indeed, they hadn't even had the chance to take sides before Yan Song was taken down.

Thus, they had no prior conflict or grudges with Qin Tian and shouldn't be treated differently... or so they hoped.

The other battalion leaders and warriors gladly accepted Qin Tian's ascent as acting leader. Regardless of Qin Tian's capabilities, at least, apart from his Third Battalion and Li Wufeng's First Battalion, the other battalions were equal in the new leader's eyes, without deliberate favoritism towards any one side, a definite improvement over Yan Song's regime.

Currently, only Yan Song's personal guards and direct lineage suffered.

With Yan Song's fall, their backbone was gone, leaving them like lost souls, unsure of what to do next.

Now, with Qin Tian, once opposed to Yan Song, stepping up as acting battalion leader, his people are bound to take over all power in the battlegroup, meaning they will surely be swept out.
