I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield Chapter 756 - 536: Dissolution of the Body, Full Army Mobilization (Part 2)

His form dissipated like a phantom, leaving behind only a fleeting trace of dark and violet shadows.

In the blink of an eye, a sudden burst of black and purple brilliance illuminated the area beside a Tier Six snow lion, a majestic beast towering above its brethren and leading the pack. Kazik materialized from nowhere, his scythe-like appendages cleaving the air with a sharp *whoosh*, striking with lethal intent towards the snow lion's neck.

A sickening squelch echoed, and the colossal head of the snow lion crashed to the ground. Before the surrounding snow beasts could even register the event, Kazik’s silhouette flickered once more, appearing instantaneously in three distinct locations within the beast horde. Each appearance culminated in a decapitated Tier Six snow beast falling lifelessly onto the snow.

In stark contrast to Karsas’s disruptive "human wave tactic," Kazik’s assaults were characterized by their chilling precision and ruthlessness. He directly targeted the linchpins of the beast tide, executing textbook "decapitation" strikes! The combined might of these two spirit beasts utterly demolished the momentum of the snow beast tide.

Witnessing this, the soldiers within the wedge formation felt an immediate surge of morale. Their long-suppressed fighting spirit erupted to its apex, their war cries reverberating skyward!

"Kill!"

Xiong and Terreda exchanged a knowing glance, their heads nodding in unspoken agreement. In the next instant, a potent, blood-red luminescence emanated from the colossal axe in Xiong's grasp. The axe head visibly expanded, growing heavier, while dark crimson patterns, like living entities, began to swirl across its surface.

Then, a ferocious phantom of a blood beast roared forth from the axe, its terrifying aura spreading outwards, seemingly freezing the very wind and snow in its wake. This was the manifestation of the giant axe's spirit!

Meanwhile, the Zhanshou saber clutched in Terreda's hand also underwent a dramatic metamorphosis. Its once-smooth edge instantly became serrated, and the blade widened by a considerable three inches, emitting a frigid, dark silver sheen. A humanoid spirit soldier, swathed in heavy bandages, slowly materialized, its eyes glowing with an ominous red light from the gaps in the wrappings, exuding a chilling murderous intent that compelled nearby soldiers to avert their gaze.

These two armaments were exquisite treasures that Qin Tian had recovered from the ruins of the Ice God. Their initial quality alone rivaled that of Black Frost before its subsequent evolution. Subsequently, Qin Tian had meticulously augmented them with the power of a [Soldier Immortal], continuously enhancing their caliber. Not only had they successfully awakened as spirit soldiers, but they had also unlocked the formidable power of their spirit soldier domains.

However, confronting this particular group of common snow beasts did not necessitate the deployment of such profound abilities. The mere unleashing of their divine weapon's might was more than sufficient!

"Die!" Xiong bellowed, swinging the spirit-infused, blood-red great axe with immense force towards the snow beast horde before him. A colossal wave of blood-red axe light surged forward, effortlessly cleaving through snow beasts—be they Frostmen, ice lizards, or snow lions—splitting them asunder, scattering blood and shattered ice, and carving a wide swathe through the enemy ranks!

Terreda was equally merciless. He swept his serrated saber outwards, its jagged edge whirring like a deadly grinder, tearing multiple snow beasts to shreds. His movements were lightning-fast as he advanced, treading upon the fallen carcasses of beasts, his saber flashing with lethal speed; no snow beast could withstand even a single blow.

The two of them were like unstoppable blades, leading the three thousand soldiers arrayed in a wedge formation, charging through the snow beast tide like a cannonball, carving a path of slaughter through the entire beast swarm! Behind them lay a dense carpet of snow beast corpses. Before them stretched an immense, desolate icy wilderness.

Xiong and Terreda did not falter, abruptly altering their course, their battle intent burning ever brighter in their eyes. "Charge back again!" As the words left his lips, the two led the charge once more, guiding their troops like a surging flood, fearlessly plunging back into the chaotic swirl of the snow beast tide!

This time, robbed of their central command and harried by the spectral forces, the snow beast tide could no longer muster any semblance of effective resistance. Faced with Xiong and Terreda, empowered by their unleashed divine weapons, they were like lambs awaiting slaughter. Wherever the wedge formation advanced, snow beasts fell in droves, and the once-overwhelming "white flood" visibly began to recede.

High above, Qin Tian and Zhou Ziming observed the unfolding scene.

"What is your assessment of their performance in this engagement?" Qin Tian inquired.

Zhou Ziming replied with measured composure: "In the context of this singular battle, it was a success. However, tactically, it was a shambles. With superior leadership, there would have been zero casualties in this engagement. Therefore, in my estimation, those two are falling short."A distinguished graduate of the military academy's command faculty, Zhou Ziming had previously been stationed with the elite space fleet on the front lines. His expectations for leadership were impeccably high, and the crude, almost barbaric methods employed by Xiong and Terreda inevitably left him wanting. Yet, it was crucial to remember that neither Xiong nor Terreda possessed formal military training or tactical education; their strengths lay solely in leading assaults. While they might not be suited for the role of supreme commander, their prowess in battle was undeniable, positioning them as exceptional vanguard fighters. "This situation involving Xiong and Terreda is something that can only be resolved through further training and practical experience on the battlefield," Qin Tian stated with a gentle smile. "Precisely." Zhou Ziming concurred, acknowledging Qin Tian's pivotal role in relation to Xiong and Terreda. He perceived them as lacking as leaders but perfectly embodying the spirit of ground troops with their aggressive combat approach. With such powerful "beasts" spearheading the charge, the troops' morale would surely soar to unprecedented heights. If he were directing their efforts, he was confident he could multiply their effectiveness tenfold. Beep beep. At that very moment, Qin Tian's military communicator chirped to life, and the operator's slightly strained voice crackled through.
