I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 968: Chapter 629: Mechanical Army (Part 2)

Everyone suddenly looked up.

Above the sky, a series of metallic figures appeared with a boom.

The humanoid battle armor was entirely forged from dark silver alloy, exuding a cold, murderous metallic gleam. Spiritual Energy patterns were neatly engraved on the shoulder armor and chest armor, and the Energy Shields around it expanded layer by layer, with rings of faint blue light membranes spreading outwards like suspended steel ramparts, firmly covering the entire sky;

Thousands of floating cannons were arrayed in formation, their dark cannon mouths gleaming with Spiritual Energy light, weaving a dense net of death, all aiming downward at the Beastmen.

Meanwhile, heavy troops surged from the alleyways and building corners on both sides of the street. Squads of soldiers clad in heavy Spiritual Energy armor rushed out like a torrent of steel. The armor was thick and cold, with joints emitting faint blue spiritual light, their steps uniform, and each step made the ground tremble slightly, the clattering of armor plates was continuous, their momentum was overwhelming like a tide.

They quickly formed an encirclement, aiming their Spiritual Energy hand cannons precisely at the Beastmen troop in the center. The energy cores of their weapons glowed in readiness, prepared to unleash their firepower at the command.

With the battle armors floating above, cavalry surrounding the city, the energy cannon mouths stood cold and solemn, the shields and cannon array interwoven into an inescapable net.

The Beastmen looked around at the endless martial defense in all directions and overhead, their faces turned so dark they seemed to drip water.

Especially when they saw Raymond wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face pale, an unspeakable sense of crisis instantly clouded their hearts.

"Finally, it has arrived!"

Konis had just recovered from the soul-crushing agony, drenched in cold sweat, his head pounding as if it would split, his legs still uncontrollably trembling.

But when he saw the encircling reinforcements around him and the sky filled with battle armor cannon arrays, the tense string in his heart finally relaxed completely, and he let out a long breath.

Beside him, Liang He raised his head in awe, looking at the mechanical legion in the sky, the overlapping floating cannon array, then at the soldiers’ heavy, high-quality, spiritually lit armor, his eyes full of undisguised astonishment and shock.

He had traveled many planets but never seen such a regimented and terrifying military force. Every piece of armor, every cannon, exudes a chilling deterrence.

"Isn’t it shocking? Quite an eye-opener?"

Konis noticed his expression and a proud smile curled on his lips, "Ah He, this is just the tip of the iceberg at Ice Extreme Pass. Once you truly join, you’ll see even stronger forces, more top-notch equipment, and countless things beyond your imagination."

Liang He’s heart quivered, the astonishment in his eyes immediately turned into intense anticipation, and he thought to himself: I seem to have come to a remarkable place.

"Captain, why did you come only now!"

Konis immediately shouted forward, "One more step and I would have lost my life here."

"Rest assured, your life is tough, you won’t die."

A strong male voice came from beneath the faceplate, the tone carrying unreserved admiration, "Konis, well done! As expected of our Azure Dragon Army!"

Konis’s face instantly showed a bright smile, his chest straightened, and the previous pain seemed to vanish.

On the other side, Raymond spat out a mouthful of blood foam, pressing his head with one hand, the stabbing pain deep in his soul still spreading relentlessly.

His gaze swept over the heavily armed human army, a hint of undisguisable apprehension flashed deep in his eyes.

Such terrifying Spiritual Attack... Who could have done it?

Though the Purgatory White Tiger clan is not known for Soul Power, the fierce aura they nurture over years naturally provides them with strong soul resistance.

Even the Siren Mermaids of the Beastman Royal Family, renowned for Spiritual Power, would struggle to break his soul defenses in a single strike of the same rank.

Could the one who struck earlier be a Tier Eight Golden Bloodline specialist in soul techniques?

"Who is it! Get out here!!"

Raymond roared furiously in Beast tongue, shaking the air into ripples, surrounding buildings’ windows buzzing, debris dropping.

The nearby soldiers stood motionless, the translation system within their armor having already converted his roar clearly.

Everyone just coldly observed those Beastmen, with no fear in their hearts, but rather a hint of a cold smile.

Royal Family Beastmen, so what?

Dare to wreak havoc at Ice Extreme Pass, anyone must pay the price.

Just then, the void slightly twisted, two figures stepped out of nowhere, landing steadily in the center of the street.

Their presence was unobtrusive, yet it made the whole battlefield instantly quiet.

"Military Lord! Legion Commander!"

Seeing those two familiar figures, all soldiers instantly bowed their heads in unison, shouting in a deep voice.

Even the suspended battle armor and floating cannon array in the sky slightly lowered their heads simultaneously, the mechanical sounds operating in unison to show absolute respect.

Military Lord... Is he the Military Lord Konis mentioned?

Guardian Envoy of Ice Extreme Pass, the legendary figure who once caused a sensation across the Star Realm—

Qin Tian, Major General Qin.

Liang He gazed at the upright figure in black, feeling the person before him like a towering mountain, stretching across, a sense of security beyond words arising spontaneously.

As though standing behind him, even if the sky were to fall, there would be no need to fear at all.

"It’s him."

Kesler’s eyes slightly narrowed, a flash of insight passing through.

Qin Tian. Guardian Envoy of Ice Extreme Pass. Also the human who defeated Unol, turning the Eternal Ice Silkworm clan into a joke amongst the Royal Family.

Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary.

"It’s you!!"

Raymond’s eyes turned instantly blood-red.

Since he came to Ice Extreme Pass, he naturally investigated this human who defeated Unol in advance.

"The one who hurt me just now, was it you?"

His voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of doubt.

Qin Tian indeed defeated Unol, but he always believed that a human without Holy Blood could never pose a threat to him.

Unol’s defeat was merely due to his incompetence, not representing that he would fear a Tier Seven human.

Yet the god-like destructive Divine Thought shock just now completely overturned his understanding.

If that strike indeed came from Qin Tian, then his previous judgment was gravely mistaken.

Qin Tian did not respond to Raymond’s query but instead turned to the two people behind him still shaken, his tone calm, "What are your names?"

"Mil... Military Lord... I... I..."

Konis, usually so carefree, was so excited when his idol personally asked him, he stuttered a little, his cheeks slightly flushed.

"No need to be nervous, speak slowly."

Qin Tian’s tone was gentle, a faint trace of Divine Thought gently swept over, calming their internal panic.

A power to stabilize the mind quietly spread, and Konis immediately steadied himself, stood tall, and spoke loudly, "Report to the Military Lord! I am Konis, Captain of the Third Company, Second Battalion, Azure Dragon Army, Khantel Corps! This is my brother Liang He, and we are here today to enlist!"

"Konis, Liang He."

Qin Tian nodded slightly, speaking warmly, "I will remember you."

With these words, the surrounding soldiers cast infinitely envious glances.

To have the Military Lord personally remember your names is such an honor!

If this spreads, in future, the two will certainly be held in high regard within the legion, their future bright.

"Withdraw, leave the rest to me."

Qin Tian smiled faintly.

"Yes! Military Lord!" Konis excitedly stood straight and saluted, pulled Liang He and quickly withdrew to safety, his excitement lingering.

"You... you dare ignore me!!"

Raymond saw Qin Tian completely disregard him, rather communicating with two insignificant humans, feeling a deep humiliation rushing to his head, his vicious aura frantically leaking, and the killing intent in his eyes nearly manifesting.

Qin Tian slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over Raymond and the Beastmen, his mouth curling into a meaningful arc.

It seems the pillow has come to the sleepy head.

He was worrying about how to obtain more places in the Nine Stars Martial Assembly from the Dongfang Clan, and two Beastmen of Royal Family voluntarily offered themselves.

In that case, I’ll use you as a flag sacrifice, to open a good beginning for Ice Extreme Pass and for the upcoming Nine Stars Martial Assembly.
