When Ji Xinghe arrived at the training area, the uproar caused by thousands of people disappeared instantly.
A salute.
Without anyone directing, everyone saluted one after another in a standard posture, standing like a thousand spears, right within Ji Xinghe's line of sight.
Return the salute.
Ji Xinghe, clad in his protective suit, accepted it readily.
This had nothing to do with the selection he was about to make; it was solely because his military exploits were outstanding, unparalleled even, from a certain perspective.
It was his individual effort that led to the empire using a nuclear weapon for the first time in this war, and he didn't die.
Living up to the legendary name.
"Colonel Ji Xinghe, could you say a few words?"
The training area's instructor walked up to Ji Xinghe and asked softly.
"Sure."
Ji Xinghe wasn't embarrassed. Just as he was about to start speaking, two quick-acting soldiers rushed over carrying a supply box over two meters tall.
