When Qin Tian, dressed in a black major general's ceremonial uniform, stepped into the temporary station of the Crimson Gold Battle Group, the previously bustling camp instantly fell into a brief silence, then erupted into an uproar. The soldiers' gazes were uniformly fixed on his shoulders, and the resounding cheers almost blew the roof off the tents."Th-that's a Major General's insignia, isn't it? Golden branches wrapped around a golden star, ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ I'm not seeing things, am I?" A young soldier rubbed his eyes, his voice filled with disbelief."It really is a Major General! Our Commander really has been promoted to Major General!" Another veteran slapped his thigh, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement. "Before, the Commander was a Colonel, and it hasn't been that long, he's directly jumped two ranks to Major General!""What's wrong with jumping two ranks?" A soldier immediately retorted, his tone full of protectiveness for Qin Tian. "Have you forgotten how many demons we killed in the Demon Suppression Abyss? Our Battle Group's enemy kill count is several, even ten, times that of other Battle Groups, and the number of demonic rifts we've destroyed is a figure they wouldn't even dare to imagine. The Commander deserves this promotion, even a three-rank jump wouldn't be too much!"Amidst the discussions, the soldiers gathered around, surrounding Qin Tian, their young faces filled with excitement and pride.Feng Xiaotian was the first to step forward, his smile exceptionally genuine: "Commander, congratulations, congratulations!"He did feel envy in his heart, but not a trace of jealousy—only those who had fought for their lives with Qin Tian in the Demon Abyss knew how much this Commander had sacrificed for the Crimson Gold Battle Group and for this battle.Just as everyone was discussing the insignia, Li Wufeng's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on Qin Tian's left chest—this professional soldier, a graduate of a formal military academy, understood the weight of military honors more than anyone else. His fingers trembled slightly, his voice carrying a hint of uncertainty: "Commander, this medal on your chest—"Qin Tian looked down at the imperial glory medal on his chest; the orange-red gem on its crimson-gold base glowed warmly in the sunlight. He raised his hand and gently brushed the edge of the medal, smiling slightly: "This is the imperial glory medal.""R-really, it's the imperial glory medal!"Li Wufeng's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively took half a step back, his face filled with shock.He knew better than anyone the weight of this medal—it was the pinnacle of honor in the Empire's army, awarded only to soldiers who had achieved "battle-turning" meritorious service. Looking across the entire Qingmu Star Region, the number of people who had ever received this medal was always very small, and it had even been several years since anyone had been able to meet the threshold for this medal.More importantly, the imperial glory medal was never a simple "symbol of honor."Wearers of the imperial glory medal, no matter which star region's garrison they visited, would receive the highest level of courtesy from the local government and military; the relatives of the medal holder, from job assignments to medical care, education, and even interstellar travel, could enjoy the Empire's top-tier preferential treatment.One medal could almost propel an entire family to prominence."imperial glory medal."When the soldiers heard the name of this medal, they immediately checked on StarNet. This search made them gasp at the medal's value."My heavens, the imperial glory medal is the highest honor in the military! I feel like the weight of this medal is even greater than that of a Major General.""Yes, Major Generals are appointed every year, but there are only a few people in the entire Qingmu Star Region who can obtain the imperial glory medal."Amidst the discussions, the soldiers' gazes towards Qin Tian grew even more fervent—they had only known before that their Commander had made a great contribution, but they hadn't expected this honor to be so precious.The rank of Major General was proof of strength, but the imperial glory medal was a symbol of legend, and their Commander held both of these glories firmly in his hands.Old Ghost stood on the periphery of the crowd, his hands clasped behind his back, watching Qin Tian, who was surrounded by the soldiers. A complex emotion welled up in his slightly cloudy eyes.His fingertips unconsciously rubbed his cuff—no one knew what kind of turmoil was surging in the heart of this Sixth-Rank Soul Master at this moment.Initially, when Qin Tian forcibly implanted a soul seed in him and took him as a soul servant, he had tossed and turned countless nights.He had been a lone wolf for decades, finally breaking through a bottleneck to become a Sixth-Rank Soul Master, thinking he could live more freely. Yet, he had fallen into the hands of a young military officer and become a soul servant at another's beck and call—which, in his opinion, was the greatest irony of his life.But after spending time together, the worries he had earlier never materialized.Qin Tian never imperiously ordered him around; instead, he would ask for his opinion when discussing tactics. Knowing that soul masters needed resources for cultivation, he proactively gave him elixirs and precious materials, helping him break through a minor realm that had stumped him for years.And today, witnessing Qin Tian in a Major General's uniform, with the imperial glory medal shining brightly on his chest, Old Ghost's last bit of awkwardness vanished. He let out a soft sigh, the emotion in his eyes gradually turning into a relieved smile.Perhaps being implanted with a soul seed by such a person was not an irony, but rather the most fortunate "stumble" in his half-life of wandering.Outside the crowd, Poison Widow's gaze was like a fine thread, firmly fixed on Qin Tian, who was surrounded by the soldiers.A soft, moist light quietly spread in her beautiful eyes. She looked at Qin Tian, his insignia reflecting light, a smile on his lips, and suddenly felt that such a spirited boss would probably be etched forever in her memory, never to fade."Bear, 'Major General'—is it a very powerful thing?"Terrida squeezed in at the edge of the crowd. He was still half-fluent in the Imperial language, only barely able to grasp the repeatedly mentioned word "Major General." But just by looking at the flushed faces and excitedly waving arms of the soldiers around him, he could guess that his boss had achieved something extraordinary.Bear scratched the back of his head, answering in a muffled voice: "It seems so—it should be a very powerful high-ranking official."After leaving the Demon Suppression Abyss, the two could finally communicate using a translator. However, Terrida's understanding of "high-ranking official" was still rooted in Barbarian cognition—when the translator converted the word into the Barbarian language, the definition that appeared was precisely "tribal chief.""So the boss became a tribal chief!" Terrida's eyes lit up, his face filled with sudden understanding. He then leaned closer, pressing on: "Then from now on, should we also have our own territory? Can we hunt freely and even conquer other tribes?""Hmm—" Bear was stumped by the question. He pondered that a Major General was a high-ranking official in the army, managing many people, so he should be able to "beat up others." He then nodded heavily: "I think so!"These words instantly ignited Terrida's interest. He immediately turned and gestured to the Barbarian warriors behind him, shouting loudly in the Barbarian language.Upon hearing "have our own territory" and "can hunt freely," these tall warriors immediately erupted, their rough howls soaring into the sky. Some even excitedly beat their chests, their fervent energy as if they were about to rush out and claim land to build a tribe the next second.Qin Tian watched this scene from a distance, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.He finally understood. Bear and Terrida, these two living treasures, were even better at embellishing stories than the old gossips at the village entrance—a perfectly fine Major General rank, interpreted by them, had become "Barbarian Chief" and "can attack others." If it continued to spread like this, who knew what other outrageous claims they might invent.After returning, he absolutely had to give them a thorough cultural lesson.Suddenly, Bear and Terrida shivered, feeling a chill down their spines, as if some misfortune was about to befall them.
