Red Alert: Rising to Power from the Mountains

That year, a great war broke out in the north.

Foreign warships blockaded the ports, and routs swept through the villages like locusts. Shen Yan was reborn in a looted, half-ruined village with only his life and a Red Alert System that had transmigrated with him.

While others waited to die amid the chaos, he farmed, mined, and trained troops.

While others knelt before foreigners, feared the fleeing soldiers, and prayed for heaven to show mercy, he believed in only one thing:

Peace comes from the barrel of a gun.

Starting with a base hidden deep in the mountains and a few dozen starving, gaunt refugees, he would put down new roots for the Chinese people on this ravaged land.

The foreigners have guns and cannons? Then he’ll build better ones.

The fleeing soldiers and bandits prey on the people? Then he’ll kill enough of them to make sure they never come back.

This is a road against the tide. Ahead lie mountains of corpses and seas of blood; behind him are innocent people.

But Shen Yan never looks back.
