I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 459: Chapter 385: Past Heroics, Night Demon’s Rules

In the luxuriously decorated private room, the crystal chandelier sheds a warm yellow light, illuminating the table full of enticing dishes. The sound of clinking glasses and laughter among the soldiers intertwined, creating a lively and harmonious atmosphere.

”General Qin, I toast to you with this cup!” A middle-aged man with a square face approached with his wine glass, his voice resonant like a bell. He was Major General Xin from Silver Gray Star’s Second Military District.

Qin Tian quickly stood up, deliberately lowering the rim of his glass a half-inch below the other’s, with a gentle smile on his face: ”General Xin, you’re too kind. It should be me toasting you instead.”

With a crisp ”ding,” the two raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses in one go.

All present were high-ranking officials from the Second Military District, with the lowest rank being Major General, and the highest being Lieutenant General Chai Rong.

Ever since they learned that Qin Tian was not only a newly promoted Major General but also a battle hero holding the Imperial Glory Medal, everyone looked at him with sincere respect.

At that moment, Qin Tian’s smart wristwatch gently vibrated twice, and a brief message popped up on the screen.

He glanced at it, and an involuntary trace of a faint smile appeared in his eyes—Terreda did not disappoint him.

All 362 new Barbarian Warriors were willing to submit, and none backed down amidst the pain caused by the Superman Potion.

Now their physical strength has skyrocketed, and the leader of the Barbarians, Mu Ya, whose power was not much weaker than Terreda before entering the Demon Suppression Abyss; the other warriors had all broken through to Tier Two.

Counting the people Terreda originally brought out, the total number of Barbarian Warriors under his command now exceeds five hundred—in the Military Department’s roster, five hundred may merely be an unremarkable battalion-level unit, but as a private army, this Barbarian Race team with everyone above Tier Two, some reaching the peak of Tier Five, is an undeniably formidable force anywhere.

”General Qin looks cheerful, could it be that good news is happening at home?” Teng Shaohai, who stood beside him, teased with sharp eyes and a smile.

Qin Tian put away his wristwatch, speaking lightly: ”It is indeed a piece of good news.”

He did not elaborate on the private army matter, instead shifting the topic, raising his glass to everyone, ”Chief of Staff Teng, dear officers, thank you for the hospitality tonight, let me toast you all.”

”General Qin, that’s too formal!” Lieutenant General Chai Rong stood up, raising his glass straight, ”You are a battle hero emerging from Silver Gray Star, it’s our Second Military District’s honor to welcome you! Come, everyone, let’s jointly toast General Qin—toast our battle hero! Cheers!”

”Cheers!”

All the officers echoed unanimously, the crisp sounds of clinking glasses rising one after another, everyone drinking the wine in their glasses in one go, the atmosphere in the room becoming even more heated.

At this moment, a slightly gray-haired Major General carried his wine glass, walked somewhat bashfully to Qin Tian’s side: ”General Qin, in a way we are also schoolmates, as I am also a graduate of the Eagle Military Academy, though I left thirty years ago.”

”Oh? Then I must call you senior alumnus.” Qin Tian turned slightly, smiling sincerely.

”I dare not accept, I dare not!” The Major General waved his hands urgently, for Qin Tian, young yet already a Major General holding the Imperial Glory Medal, while he had to toil for decades to become a Major General, wouldn’t dare act the part of a ”senior alumnus” in front of Qin Tian.

He paused, as if he had made up his mind, lowering his voice: ”General Qin, there is something I have always wanted to verify with you. A year ago, during the Evil God Sacrifice incident on Silver Gray Star, was it you who secretly disrupted one of the Blood Sea Arrays?”

With these words, the noisy private room suddenly fell silent.

The Silver Gray Star Evil God Sacrifice event was a shadow in everyone’s heart—at that time, if all four arrays had been activated, the entire continent with its billions of people would have been used as offerings, with souls and flesh extracted to worship the Evil God.
