My Entire Clan Was Executed, So I Took Command of a Million Soldiers at the Border

After waking up, Lin Yan finds himself reborn as the son of Lin Jinghong, the loyal General of Martial Valor whose entire family was executed by the Great Yong dynasty.

To stay alive, he hides his identity, takes the name Chen Mo, and spends three years scraping by in the lowest-ranked auxiliary battalion at Yanmen Pass.

He volunteers for every dirty, exhausting job, and never fights back when beaten or cursed at. Everyone takes him for a useless nobody they can bully at will.

That is, until thirty thousand Northern Court wolf cavalry descend on Blackstone Fort. A traitor sells out the city, leaving the soldiers and civilians inside on the brink of disaster.

At last, the useless nobody draws his blade!

With one stroke, he kills the traitor. In three moves, he slays a grandmaster. He burns the Northern Court's fodder depot by night and hacks off the right arm of their Third Prince, Bate'er, holding the isolated city against all odds.

From auxiliary soldier to battalion commander, from the frontier to the Yong capital.

With his father's old roster of loyal followers in hand, he uncovers the shocking truth behind the treason and false charges from eleven years ago.

He investigates missing provisions, cracks down on smuggling, roots out spies, and tears away the hypocritical mask of the powerful Jiangnan families. Every perpetrator from that year will pay for their crimes in blood!

When he stands in the Golden Hall and reveals the tiger tally engraved with the character "Lin," every official at court turns pale.

Emperor Jing bestows the Imperial Sword upon him: "I entrust half of Great Yong's frontier defenses to you!"
