On the day the border military town fell, Lu Chen finally understood something:
The most ruthless monster in the world is never the monster in the gray mist.
But someone who stands on a high platform and feeds living people to monsters.
After crawling out of the pile of corpses in Black Stone Sentinel, Lu Chen led a fat man who was poor and fearful of death but refused to really run away. He fled and killed all the way, gathering refugees, deserters, craftsmen and aliens all under his banner.
A ruined castle, hundreds of dead lives, and a thousand rusty knives.
No one thinks highly of them.
But Lu Chen relied on this little bit of wealth to build an iron army on the border of another world.
The Vatican said he was a heretic.
The nobles said he was a bitch.
The world behind the door says that people on the border are born with low lives and are only worthy of being sacrificed.
Lu Chen only replied:
"If anyone of my people dies, someone must pay for it with his life."
From an outcast on the border, to the leader of the Iron Army.
From guarding a dilapidated fortress to fighting through the flames of war across two realms.
This time, it's their turn to decide who deserves to live and who deserves to die.
