And these abilities can’t be quickly developed through shortcuts; they can only be slowly explored and accumulated through repeated practice and learning.
"I still cannot stop the pace of learning."
Qin Tian murmured to himself; his goal has never been just to beco a lone powerhouse, but to wield great power and beco a dominant figure in a region.
Therefore, managing large armies and constructing defense systems are "mandatory courses" for him, no matter how difficult they are, he must tackle them.
The cold tree outside the window still emitted a gentle glow, Qin Tian got up and walked to the table, took out a blank sheet of paper, and began sketching the defense plan of Ice Extre Pass.
Perhaps the Barbarian Battle Group can first be ford into an independent "Assault Battalion," responsible for head-on charges and field patrols, and then select key personnel from the Royal Soldiers as deputies, slowly instilling a sense of discipline.
As for himself, he should also find so military literature from the Empire to read or exchange for so military courses from the Military Departnt’s treasury, to make up for his knowledge in "large army managent."
...
In the following two polar nights, Ice Extre Pass remained calm and peaceful.
The wind and snow still howled outside the cold shield, but inside, order was maintained, and soldiers patrolled and trained thodically while the cold tree absorbed cold air and grew more crystals.
Qin Tian also took advantage of this rare calm to quickly enter the role of "Guardian Envoy."
During the dayti, he traversed various camps within Ice Extre Pass, having talks with key personnel of each group and logistics managers, understanding military details from defense deploynt to material distribution in minute detail.
If he encountered sothing unclear, he would not hesitate to ask questions, quickly grasping the operational logic of Ice Extre Pass.
At night, Qin Tian would convene etings with Li Qi, Old Ghost, Poisonous Widow, and others to refine and implent the personnel division plan that had been previously drafted.
Terreda and Xiong were responsible for further training of the Barbarian Battle Group, Li Qi was in charge of expanding The Shadow Division mbers, Old Ghost was tasked with elite recruitnt, and Poisonous Widow took the lead in establishing the Lingfeng Trade Group branch... each task was clearly defined in terms of thod and tiline, with clear structure.
"Boss, the first batch of supplies we’ve procured will arrive tomorrow."
That morning, Li Qi walked into Qin Tian’s ice cabin, reporting, "Once the supplies are handed over, I’ll leave Ice Extre Pass according to the plan, to expand The Shadow Division personnel on other planets."
Qin Tian nodded, his expression becoming serious: "Hmm, Old Ghost will also depart simultaneously with you, both of your core tasks are the sa, which is to develop personnel. But rember, The Shadow Division mbers are directly related to intelligence security; the selection must be strict, those lacking ability or unstable in character should not be chosen, better to have fewer than inadequate ones."
"Yes!" Li Qi nodded heavily.
The Shadow Division was created single-handedly by him; every mber’s selection and joining must go through his approval, even if soone wasn’t personally converted by him, the conversion process still required his consent.
After this period of exploration, he was very clear about the qualities and abilities The Shadow Division mbers should possess.
This team not only had to be skilled in intelligence gathering and assassination but also absolutely loyal.
Fortunately, the conversion chanism of Night Demons inherently solved the issue of loyalty; he just needed to focus on "selecting capable people."
Regarding how to find talent, Qin Tian and Li Qi had already discussed a plan.
Based on the previous arrangents at Shadow Moon Tower, let Li Qi and The Shadow Division mbers join the Empire’s assassin organization or intelligence agency under the guise of "newcors," lurking to observe and understand personnel structure and operational mode.
When encountering those with outstanding abilities, they could seize the opportunity to convert them into Night Demons.
Lastly, penetrate gradually through these "moles," eventually controlling the entire organization, achieving "cuckoo in the nest."
This would not only save the ti of nurturing from scratch but also allow for silent expansion of influence, a classic two-for-one strategy.
Beep beep
At this mont, the communicator on Qin Tian’s wrist suddenly rang "beep beep."
He raised his hand to connect, and the voice of Zhang Hao, a regintal commander, imdiately ca through, holding a hint of surprise: "Military Lord, the Military Departnt investigation team has arrived. Their spaceship has already entered the atmosphere of Mingwang Planet and is about to reach Ice Extre Pass!"
Normally, the Military Departnt investigation team would send a notification before departure so that the local area can prepare, sudden strikes like this are quite unusual.
"Alright, I understand."
Qin Tian said calmly; the arrival of the Military Departnt investigation team was not unexpected to him, given that he managed to capture so evidence against the Luoho Clan, he believed his superiors would secretly leverage this matter to strike the Luoho Clan’s forces as much as possible.
However, Yang Zheng had also communicated with him beforehand; the Luoho Clan’s influence within the Military Departnt was deep-rooted, relying on this matter alone to take down Inzaghi Luoho was impossible.
Of course, Qin Tian also had his ntal preparations; since ancient tis, the children of the nobility have possessed privileges beyond the reach of commoners, for so matters involving ordinary people, it may lead to dismissal or worse, but for the noble children, it’s no more than a slap on the wrist, a re "self punishnt of three cups."
And the direct lineage of the Nine Great Holy Bloods is naturally the most noble class within the Empire; unless a significant transgression occurs, don’t expect to overthrow them with one or two affairs.
He did not place much importance on the Military Departnt investigation team; once they arrived, displaying the bodies and clarifying the process, it would be up to Marshal Lin and the Luoho Clan’s power struggle.
What he truly needed to focus on was another team.
Recalling what Yang Zheng said in the communication yesterday — "Besides the investigation team, another team will follow. Their target is not the Luoho Clan, but the cold tree you found. This team’s level is very high, you must respond seriously."
Cold tree... Qin Tian’s eyes glowed.
It seed that the higher-ups had already realized the value of the cold tree and wanted to personally confirm its authenticity.
This was both an opportunity and a challenge — if he could make the Military Departnt recognize the role of the cold tree, the subsequent application for resources and expansion of Ice Extre Pass would go smoothly.
But if sothing went wrong or the value of the cold tree was overestimated, then Ice Extre Pass would have to rely on his own strength to develop slowly.
Soon, a silver-white spaceship appeared in the sky and slowly landed on the large square of Ice Extre Pass.
Qin Tian, with a few regintal commanders, greeted them by the spaceship.
Soon, a group of people disembarked from the spaceship, and based on their attire, they were evidently two different teams.
One group wore the Empire’s black military uniform, a total of five people, led by a Major General, while the other group’s attire was not uniform.
After disembarking the spaceship, mbers of the Military Departnt investigation team quickly walked in front of Qin Tian and saluted.
"Hello, General Qin Tian. I am the leader of the Military Departnt investigation team, Zhan Jifeng."
The other soldiers also saluted.
Qin Tian was a Major General, which ranked higher than them, therefore, even though they were mbers of the investigation team, upon seeing Qin Tian, they must salute seriously.
"Everyone, welco to Ice Extre Pass."
Qin Tian returned the salute.
"General Qin Tian, on behalf of the Military Departnt, we are here to investigate the incident that took place three days ago at Ice Extre Pass, and I hope you can provide us with so evidence. We will conduct a detailed investigation based on the evidence you provide us." Zhan Jifeng got straight to the point.
Qin Tian nodded: "No problem, the hundreds of marauders who attacked Ice Extre Pass at that ti, their bodies are still in the mortuary. I will have my regintal commander take you all to inspect. Zhang Hao!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Hao imdiately stepped forward and said politely: "Leader Zhan, please this way."
"Thank you!"
Zhan Jifeng knew that the other group of mbers accompanying him was the key.
Under Zhang Hao’s guidance, he led his team mbers to the mortuary.
At this mont, Qin Tian turned his gaze toward the leader of the other team.
It was a charismatic middle-aged man with an elegant deanor, who possessed a gentle look in his eyes.
"General Qin, hello, I am the leader of the Empire’s National Resources Survey Group, Zhuge Xin."
The man stepped forward and extended his hand in a friendly gesture.
Upon hearing the man’s na, Qin Tian was surprised.
It turned out to be soone from the Zhuge Family.
