Beast Tamer: I Guard the Nation's Gates

The Xiao family, once a clan of genius beast tamers, fell overnight. Xiao Chen, a young man branded a traitor to his country, was exiled to Blackwind Fortress at the empire's northernmost edge. There, he must face not only endless waves of ferocious beasts sweeping across the icy plains, but also the ostracism of his fellow soldiers and covert surveillance from the imperial capital. Xiao Chen has no golden finger or System. Relying only on a unique method he gleaned from his family's legacy for forging emotional bonds with fierce beasts, along with his seemingly foolish but actually shrewd nature and extraordinary tactical skill, he rises from desperate circumstances, starting with the first dying wolf he tames. He transforms a pack of beasts dismissed as worthless into an invincible "Phantom Beast Army," setting off a wave of reform in the empire's beast-taming tactics. Through layers of deception, Xiao Chen must clear his family's name and expose the mastermind lurking at the heart of the empire. He must also join forces with Ling Shuang, the mysterious female lead with unmatched fighting prowess, to pursue crucial missing fragments of his memories and uncover the ultimate secret of how "beasts" and "humans" coexist in this world. In the end, he will defy fate as a mortal, protect his homeland, and reshape the order of the world.
