I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 529: Chapter 428: Guardian Envoy of Ice Extreme Pass

The headquarters of the Royal star Military Department is situated in the core of Donghuang state, resembling a dormant steel giant beast exuding an awe-inspiring majesty from afar.

Over a hundred silver-gray metal buildings rise from the ground, with the tallest main tower piercing the clouds, its surface covered with energy shield interfaces and defense cannon arrays.

Around the perimeter, ten-meter-high alloy walls encircle the area, with patrol soldiers stationed every ten meters, holding high-precision energy weapons, their gaze as sharp as eagles.

All flying devices and vehicles attempting to enter the compound must stop at the checkpoint at the entrance, undergoing layer upon layer of scanning, where no suspicious energy fluctuations can escape detection.

Qin Tian, dressed in a Major General’s uniform, the gold star on his epaulette shining brightly in the sunlight, with the Empire Glory Medal on his chest particularly striking.

As he approached the entrance checkpoint, two soldiers on duty stepped forward, raising their hands to stop him: ”Please present your identity credentials.”

Qin Tian took out his Major General officer’s ID and handed it over.

The soldier took the ID, inserted it into a specialized scanning device, instantly displaying his personal information, military rank, and service record on the screen. Upon seeing the ”Empire Glory Medal” notation, a trace of respect flashed in the eyes of the two soldiers, and they immediately stood at attention, saluting Qin Tian with a standard military salute:

”General Qin!”

”I’m here at the Military Department to handle my appointment procedures,” Qin Tian stated his purpose.

The soldier on the left, however, showed a hint of difficulty, his tone respectful yet firm: ”Apologies, General Qin. This place implements a pass-based access system, you are here for the first time and are not in the system pass, as per regulations, we cannot grant direct passage. We need to contact the Seventh Bureau to confirm your identity, after which the Seventh Bureau will send someone to escort you.”

Qin Tian nodded to express his understanding—as the military core of the Empire, the security rules are inherently strict, and he did not make things difficult for them: ”Understood, please contact them as soon as possible.”

The soldier immediately reported through the communicator, and three minutes later, a steady sound of footsteps came from within the compound.

Qin Tian looked up to see a man in a Lieutenant General’s uniform walking quickly, his figure tall and upright, features cold and stern, with a sharp glint between his brows.

The man walked to the checkpoint, his gaze sweeping over Qin Tian and finally landing on the Empire Glory Medal on his chest, his expression subtly shifting before he spoke, his voice carrying a metallic hardness: ”Qin Tian, I am Yang Zheng of the Seventh Bureau, follow me.”

”Yes!”

Qin Tian responded.

Yang Zheng said no more, turning to walk toward a metallic building deep within the compound.

Qin Tian followed closely, his gaze scanning along the way—the exterior walls of the building were engraved with intricate runes, with dual energy detection gates at the entrance, and the military personnel coming and going all had ranks no less than Colonel, moving with urgency yet in an orderly manner.

Upon reaching the front of the building, Yang Zheng took out an ID card and placed it near the identifier, with a soft beep, the detection gate slowly slid open.

Once they entered the building and were in the exclusive elevator, Yang Zheng swiped his card for authorization again, pressing the button marked ”76”—the second to last floor of the entire building.

The elevator operated smoothly and silently, reaching the destination in just a moment, and as the door opened, a strong Spiritual Energy aura surged towards them, indicating that this level had been specially modified by a Spiritual Energy array.

Exiting the elevator, Yang Zheng stood before an office door, verifying his identity once more before gesturing to Qin Tian: ”Go in.”

Qin Tian stepped into the office, his eyes swiftly scanning the room—about twenty square meters in area, with decorations simple to the point of austerity, no superfluous decorations, with only a dark brown solid wood desk against the wall, a high-backed office chair behind it, and two guest chairs in front.
