"Camp Commander Qin, please hold on."

Outside the battalion group, Li Wufeng stopped Qin Tian.

Qin Tian halted his steps, turning to look at Li Wufeng, the burly officer in front of him walked with a commanding presence, back straight, exuding a military aura.

"Battalion Commander Li, is there something you need?"

Li Wufeng extended his hand, the palm covered with calluses from years of gripping a saber, "There were too many eyes in the tent earlier, couldn't properly introduce myself. I am Li Wufeng, a serving Lieutenant Colonel from the 35th Army of Li Yue Star Zone. In terms of rank, I should address you as sir."

"Battalion Commander Li, you're being polite."

Qin Tian shook Li Wufeng's hand, smiling faintly:

"Here, both of us are battalion commanders, colleagues, and we'll need to look out for each other in the future."

"Haha, yes, look out for each other."

Li Wufeng laughed heartily, "Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease."

After saying this, he glanced behind him, lowering his voice:

"Camp Commander Qin, you should have heard about Director Yan's grudge with the Third Battalion. I can't say much more, but please be sure to inspect those activation devices in advance, it concerns the safe escape of our two battalions, be extremely cautious."

"Understood, I will check in advance," Qin Tian said seriously.

He knew what Li Wufeng was worried about.

"Alright, all plans have been discussed in the meeting, nothing more needs to be said. I hope our two battalions can successfully complete this mission."

Li Wufeng looked at Qin Tian's young yet steady face, suddenly feeling a bit dazed.

He remembered when Xiong was still around, repeatedly arguing with Yan Song over reasoning in battalion meetings, but at that time, Xiong often had anger and dissatisfaction in his eyes, whereas Qin Tian's calm gaze held a hidden sharpness, like a deep pool of water, seemingly still on the surface but undercurrents capable of capsizing a huge ship.

For some reason, an inexplicable confidence surged within Li Wufeng, his eyes glimmering with determination.

...

Third Battalion, Camp

"Yan Song! That bastard!"

Lu Sheng's fist clenched tightly, his words squeezing through his teeth.

Inside the tent, Shen Juan's face was also grim. Yan Song's arrangements were clearly using the Third Battalion as bait, with no regard for their lives.

Even thinking about Yan Song's constant malicious targeting made it difficult for his icy bloodline to suppress the anger in his heart.

Compared to the two of them, Xiong, Terreda, and the Poisonous Widow appeared quite calm.

"Alright, there's no need to get too angry over this."

Qin Tian said calmly, "Since we're at the Demon Suppression Abyss, we must be prepared to face any situation, with the Void Gate present, completing the mission isn't difficult."

"Commander, I also believe we'll definitely complete the mission smoothly, but as for this Yan Song..."

Lu Sheng gritted his teeth, "That bastard who always targets our Third Battalion, I'm just worried the better we perform, the more excited he'll get, and in the future, he'll assign us even more dangerous tasks."

"We'll discuss this issue later."

Qin Tian waved his hand, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. If Yan Song really did such a thing, he wouldn't mind acquiring another Golden Level Talent Light Sphere.

"Let's put the mission aside for now."

Qin Tian's face turned stern, "How to safely endure the demon tide is our top priority right now."

The demon tide is a unique periodic phenomenon of the Demon Suppression Abyss, with an extremely unstable outbreak cycle, occurring every three days to half a month, lasting several hours each time.

When the demon tide erupts, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Demon Suppression Abyss becomes thoroughly polluted by dense Demonic Qi, creating an environment with high erosion properties for non-demon beings, and during this period, all demons enter a berserk state, with significantly increased abilities.

Even more dangerous is that the demon tide immensely enhances demons' perception ability towards life forms, expanding their sensing range by several times from usual, even minor life activities can attract the attack of hundreds to thousands of demons.​

Therefore, during a demon tide, all troops stationed in the Demon Suppression Abyss must strictly restrain their presence, avoiding any behavior that could reveal their position, to minimize chances of conflict with demons, otherwise, they could face annihilation.

"We are too close to the Demon Cave, no matter how concealed, we'll be sensed by the wandering demons, so we must move to a safer place now," Qin Tian said.

"I think the same, but I'm afraid Yan Song will disagree," Shen Juan frowned.

Lu Sheng jerked his head towards the outside of the tent, his rough hands gripping the Great Saber's handle tightly, with a sneer, "Our every move is probably already reported to Yan Song by those spies. Transfer? He'd be sure to take the chance to create trouble!"​

"I'll handle this," Qin Tian waved his hand, with a slight glimmer in his eyes, "What you need to do now is swiftly organize the team, destroy all useless junk. Depart in 20 minutes."​

"Yes!"​

The group responded and left, as the tent flap was lifted, wind with a sulfurous smell rushed in.

Lu Sheng's loud voice soon rang across the camp: "Everyone, move quickly! Bring your gear, prepare to move!"​

The message seemed to sprout wings, spreading across the camp, instantly invigorating the formerly weary warriors.

"Finally, we're leaving! I don't want to stay another moment in this damned place!" a young warrior exclaimed while tying up his backpack, his excitement impossible to hide.

"Yeah, every day here we're on edge, afraid of being targeted by nearby Demon Caves."

"Let's go, let's go!"

The warriors quickly sprang into action.

At this moment, a figure moved stealthily, reaching a secluded corner, taking out a communication stone.

"Li Fei."

Suddenly, a chilly voice sounded from behind.

Communications Officer Li Fei spun around swiftly, straightening up at once upon seeing Qin Tian behind him, nervously saying:

"Camp... Commander."

Qin Tian walked up to Li Fei, saying calmly:

"Li Fei, there is no need to report every detail of our Third Battalion's affairs to the battalion headquarters."

Hearing this, Li Fei fell into silence for a moment, then seemingly gathering his courage, looked up at Qin Tian,

"Commander, this is work assigned by the battalion chief, I must complete it, plus transferring the base is a major issue, without the chief's permission, your actions are a serious violation of discipline."

Qin Tian slightly raised an eyebrow: "You should also understand that once the demon tide arrives, our location is too close to the Demon Cave, very likely to attract demon attacks, transferring the base is to protect you, me, and the entire Third Battalion."

"However, we need the battalion chief's permission to take action." Li Fei stared intently into Qin Tian's eyes but then lowered his head under Qin Tian's calm yet oppressive gaze, trembling inside.

"Looks like you're really loyal to Yan Song~"

Qin Tian chuckled softly, "In that case, we can only go the simple and direct route."

Upon hearing this, Li Fei was startled, hastily trying to speak:

"Commander Qin..."

Before he could finish, Qin Tian's hand was already pressed on his head, followed by a powerful mental will intrusion into his mind.
