In the last years of Dajing, the world was in chaos, and heroes were vying for the throne. Warlords separatist rule, fighting breaks out everywhere, bones are exposed on both sides of the Yellow River, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles. Xiao Xuan, a scholar from a poor family who was sold to a death camp for three buckets of rice by his greedy and selfish uncle, got a blood-stained ancient arrowhead military medal by mistake. Among the military cards, there is actually a "heroic soul card pool" originating from the ancient battlefield.
With every battle and enemy killed, Xiao Xuan accumulates battle souls, which can be used to draw "war soul cards" from the card pool - either a ray of battle formation inheritance from famous ancient generals, a page of training for a mysterious unit, or even a key strategy that determines the situation of the battle. With this card, Xiao Xuan defeated the enemy camp alone, solved the siege of Changxin County, and was awarded the title of centurion. He seemed cold and ruthless. He would rather starve in the fields than share food during the march, but in the middle of the night he put a mouthful of life-saving porridge into the hands of a child. He claimed to use people for firewood and sacrificed blood for flags, but in fact he secretly collected the bones of the soldiers who died in battle.
When his selfish uncle came with his relatives, Xiao Xuan cut off the blood ties with his own hands in front of everyone, and turned around to forge his own iron-blooded black armor army. In Yunzhou, he defeated 20,000 cavalry with 3,000 remaining soldiers, becoming the only lone wolf in the north who could contain the world's overlord. But the strongest card he drew, the "Overlord Yum Card", foreshadowed that he would personally end the Yan Dynasty that had destroyed his family - and deep in the military card, the sleeping emperor's soul was waiting for his last drop of blood.
