Out of Food from the Start? I Get 100,000 Heavy-Armed Soldiers for Free

[Transmigration] [Warring States] [System-Summoned Troops] [Decisive and Ruthless] [Extreme Nation-Building] [No Saintly Protagonist]

In the final years of the Great Qian dynasty, a devastating drought ravages the land, and people resort to eating their own children. Lin Fan has just transmigrated and become the chief of Tiger Might Mountain, only to face certain death: the stronghold has been out of food for three days, and the second-in-command is leading men in a coup. At this critical moment, the Bandit Conquest System activates. As long as he has one absolutely loyal follower, he receives ten jin of premium snowflake flour for free every day!

Looking at the rebels, starving and wild-eyed, with knives in their hands, Lin Fan pulls out a hundred jin of fine white flour. The whole bandit gang goes crazy! In a famine where a human life is worth less than a dog's, a mouthful of food is enough to make someone risk their life. "Second-in-command, the food's here. Time to hand over your life, isn't it?"

Starting with a few dozen battered survivors on Tiger Might Mountain, Lin Fan trades flour for loyal followers, then loyal followers for equipment, conquering the land bit by bit. Refugees are rioting? I've got all the flour you could want. Every last one of you, join the army! Foreign tribes are invading? My hundred thousand heavily armored cavalry will teach you a lesson! When an invincible army of a hundred thousand troops in heavy armor smashes through the gates of the capital, only then does the old emperor realize that the realm has belonged to Lin Fan all along!
