Transmigrated as a pampered young marshal on the border, Shen Yan found himself in a hopeless situation from the start.
His father had died in battle, and the army was in turmoil.
If word of his death got out, Xuantie Pass would descend into chaos, and the people would rise up in revolt.
The deputy general had amassed troops for his own ends and wanted to seize power.
His stepmother had allied with the great clans and was secretly draining the Marquis household’s wealth.
Beyond the pass, the Western Rong cavalry pressed close, with tens of thousands of troops watching like tigers ready to pounce.
Surrounded by internal and external threats, the whole city was waiting for the spoiled young heir, who did nothing but eat, drink, and have fun, to fall.
Just as Shen Yan prepared to stake his life on the outcome
[The Merit Infrastructure System has awakened!]
Repair the city walls, improve waterworks, reclaim farmland, and manufacture weapons.
Every public works project would earn him vast amounts of merit, which he could exchange for cultivation techniques, divine weapons, and provisions, allowing him to train an invincible army!
From a borderland wastrel mocked by everyone,
to an iron-blooded marquis commanding a mighty fortress and subduing the Western Wilderness.
“I built Xuantie Pass, brick by brick.”
“From now on, ”
“I’m the one who calls the shots here!”
