   I recommend this book; it's already 900,000 words long, and it really gets better after 100,000 words. I genuinely think it's better than most lord-themed novels, making it a good read. The protagonist transmigrates to another world and becomes a lord, able to summon heroes and soldiers from China. Starting from a village, he conquers elves, dwarves, lizardmen, and other races along the way. Overall, the large-scale military battles and the development of his territory are logically sound.

    The moment the Blood Fiend Sect's flag was planted atop the city wall in the desperate situation of Meteor Dragon City, Xiao Qian knew they couldn't hold out any longer. It wasn't fear. It was calculation. Zhou Bo stood covered in blood at the breach in the wall, his broadsword dulled, three gashes slicing along its back. Fewer than forty men remained standing behind him. Liu San lay beneath the battlements, his left arm gone, his teeth binding his clothes. Niu Dazhuang leaned against the wall, an arrow lodged in his chest, blood gushing from his mouth with every breath. Zhou Fu lay prone on the ground, a deep cut on his back exposing bone, yet he crawled forward—not to escape, but towards the breach in the wall, intending to block it with his body. Eight hundred men had held out for three days. Two thousand remained on the other side. Li Tianxiao stood in the distance, hands behind his back, expressionless. The Dragon Sealing Array suppressed the dragon veins; the dragon scales in Xiao Qian's arms were as cold as ice, impossible to warm. Half of the system interface was grayed out, and even the daily blind boxes couldn't be opened. All their cards had been played. Zhang Liang stood beside Xiao Qian, his white robes covered in dust, his left hand slinged in a sling—it was unclear when it had broken; he didn't say, and Xiao Qian didn't ask. Zhang Liang looked at the dark mass of enemy troops below the city and suddenly smiled. The smile was faint, like a lamp about to go out, flickering in its final moments. "My lord, in my life, I've served many people. You are the last." Xiao Qian didn't speak. "I have a request," Zhang Liang said softly. "Speak." "When we get down there, don't compete with me for reincarnation. In the next life, I still want to be with you." Xiao Qian's hand clenched tightly around a brick on the city wall. The sharp edge of the brick dug into his palm, blood dripping from between his fingers. He didn't look at Zhang Liang, didn't answer, just stood there. The wind blew from the wasteland, carrying the smell of blood and burnt flesh, and some indescribable aura of the apocalypse. Below the city, Li Tianxiao raised his hand. "Last time. Surrender, or die." Xiao Qian looked down at the cold dragon scale in his arms—completely unresponsive. He glanced at the system interface in his mind again—"Insufficient national fortune value." He pressed his hand to his chest, onto the unheated dragon scale. "System," he called out in his mind. No response. "System!" Still no response. Li Tianxiao's hand fell. "Attack the city." Two thousand men began to move, like a black tide surging towards the crumbling city wall. They shouted, their voices forming a torrent, the earth trembling, dust falling from the cracks in the rubble of the wall. Xiao Qian stood at the highest point, watching the tide surge towards him. Dozens of steps. Twenty steps. Ten steps. He closed his eyes. Not to give up. But—to make a decision. "System." This time, his voice held no urgency, no despair, not even any expectation. There was only a calm, a calm that came from having considered all possibilities and leaving only the last path. "I am your host. If this city falls, I die, and you're finished too." "So, you either help me now—or die with me." Silence. Only the shouts of battle below the city and the groans of the city walls. Then— "Ding." The system's voice rang out. Not loud, but clear, like a needle dropping into a silent room, everyone heard it. "Host detected in dire straits, triggering hidden mechanism—[Dire Straits Resonance]." "Conditions: The host's binding depth with the system exceeds the threshold. All conventional resources are exhausted; the only available resource is—the system's own underlying reserves." "Cost: This operation will consume 60% of the system's underlying energy. Recovery period unknown." "Execute?" Xiao Qian didn't hesitate. "Execute." Those standing beside Xiao Qian—Zhang Liang, Zhou Bo, Chen Qi, and the forty-odd wounded soldiers—later, when they recalled this moment, each had a different account. Some said the sky suddenly darkened, some said the ground suddenly brightened, some said they heard bells, some said they heard war drums. But one thing, their memories were all the same. A circle of light appeared beneath Xiao Qian's feet. It was small, just enough for one person to stand in. But the light was so bright that everyone—on and below the city walls, friend and foe alike—involuntarily closed their eyes. It wasn't blinding; it was a sense of oppression that surged from the depths of their souls, making it impossible to look directly at them. The light lingered for a long time before dissipating. It didn't dissipate slowly; it suddenly receded, as if someone had grabbed the light, clenched it into a fist, and then released it. Everyone on the city wall opened their eyes. Below the city wall, Li Tianxiao also opened his eyes. They saw it. At the forefront of the black tide below the city wall, the Blood Fiend Sect disciples who had already rushed to the base of the wall suddenly all stopped. Not stopped, but—unable to move. Not frozen in place, but their bodies wouldn't obey their commands. It was as if something was pressing down from above, crushing every bone, every muscle, every joint. Some knelt, some collapsed, some slumped on the ground, gasping for breath. Not injured, but their bodies were terrified. They were hiding, shrinking back, trying to conceal themselves. Their eyes wouldn't close. Their mouths wouldn't open. Only their eyes could move. They saw—on the city wall, where the light had vanished, behind Xiao Qian, stood a person. No. Not just one person. A row. Behind that, a column. Behind that, a square formation. A perfectly square, orderly formation, covered from head to toe in black iron armor. They stood there, motionless, like a wall, like a mountain, like a barrier rising from the earth, forged from steel and flesh. No one spoke. No one moved. Not even breathed. They simply stood there. But the forty-odd remaining soldiers standing on the city wall—their legs trembled. Not from fear, but their bodies told them: These people standing behind you are unlike anyone you've ever seen. They are born for war; their world has no peace, no farming, no home, no children. Only the battlefield. Only enemies. Only killing and being killed. Zhou Bo's hands trembled. He had fought battles, many battles. He had seen elite troops and rabble. He had seen what the most elite armies were like—immovable as mountains, aggressive as fire. But he had never seen anything like this. These people stood together, not as "an army," but as one person. Their breathing was at the same frequency, their heartbeats at the same rhythm, their gazes were fixed in the same direction. They were a whole, not individuals. A ridiculous thought suddenly popped into Zhou Bo's mind—these people didn't need a general. They were their own generals. Below the city, Li Tianxiao's expression changed. Not from fear, but from confusion. He couldn't understand where these people came from. Not from a teleportation array, not from invisibility, not from any known summoning spell. They appeared out of thin air, as if squeezing in from a crack in another world. He looked at Xiao Qian. The young man stood on the city wall, holding nothing. No weapon, no magical artifact, nothing to prove his strength. But his eyes had changed. The light in those eyes was gone, not extinguished, but sunk—sunk to a very, very deep place, looking out from there. In those eyes, there was something Li Tianxiao couldn't understand—not cultivation, not power, but a kind of "authority" more ancient and more essential than power. It was the kind of authority that commanded all things, including destiny itself. Xiao Qian looked at the two thousand people below the city. His voice wasn't loud, but in that instant, every word clearly reached the ears of everyone present—whether on the city walls or below, whether it was Li Tianxiao at the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, or late Golden Core stages. "Da Xuan—" He paused. Behind him, the silent steel formation suddenly moved. Not moving, but—their voices moved. Two thousand and forty-three voices merged into one. "Wind!" It was a battle cry, and also a vow. It wasn't magic, but human voices. Thousands of voices exploded simultaneously, the sound wave like a wall, crushing down on the city below. The Blood Fiend Sect disciples turned pale; some had already begun to retreat. Those kneeling on the ground, unable to rise, desperately crawled backward, their fingernails wearing away at the stone, leaving ten bloody welts. Xiao Qian stretched out his hand. His hand was empty, but the man understood his meaning. At the very front of the formation, the only one wearing different armor—he stepped forward, knelt on one knee, his movements as synchronized as a wall shifting a single step. His helmet covered most of his face, revealing only his eyes. Those eyes held no emotion. Not because he was cold-blooded, but because he had placed all his emotions elsewhere—on the brothers behind him, on the land he was protecting, on the young man before him. "Your subordinate is here." Xiao Qian looked into those eyes. "Kill." The general stood up, turned, and faced the city below. His hand rose, then fell. "Great Xuan—Elite Warriors—!" Two thousand and forty-two voices exploded simultaneously. "Kill!" It wasn't a shout, it was a smash. This word smashed from over two thousand chests, smashing into the air, into the wind, smashing into the hearts of every enemy below the city. One of Li Tianxiao's Foundation Establishment disciples was so shocked by the sound that he vomited—not from injury, but from fear. The word "kill" contained no anger, no hatred, only a bone-chilling, mechanical precision. Like a knife, not for chopping, but for slicing. One slash, not an inch more, not an inch less. The black formation began to move. Not running, but walking. Step by step, unhurriedly, as if measuring the land, they marched towards the city walls. Each step was synchronized, the clanging of armor forming a dull rhythm, thud, thud, thud, like giants walking, like war drums being struck. Wherever they passed, the Blood Fiend Sect disciples fell like wheat cut by a sickle, swathes of them. There were no screams. Because there was no time to scream. The city gates opened. Not pushed open, but blasted open by that overwhelming force. Zhou Bo was the first to rush out. He didn't know why he rushed out; his body moved faster than his mind. As he passed through the steel formation, he suddenly understood something—he wasn't the general of this army. This army didn't need generals. They were whole, self-sufficient, capable of breathing, killing, living, and dying on their own. Zhou Bo was just someone running alongside them. But he ran happily. More than forty remaining soldiers followed him out of the city gate. Chen Qi ran at the front, clutching a knife he'd picked up from who-knows-where, still stained with blood, which he hadn't wiped away. The voices of two thousand and forty-three people exploded behind him again—"Wind!" "Wind!" "Wind!" With each shout, the Blood Fiend Sect's formation retreated a step. Not a retreat, but a collapse. One person's fear would infect another, ten people's fear would infect a hundred, and a hundred people's fear would cause the entire formation to crumble from within. The Blood Fiend Sect disciples began to run, not in an orderly retreat, but in a chaotic, haphazard rush, abandoning their weapons and armor. Li Tianxiao stood motionless. He looked at the black formation, at the boy standing on the city wall who no longer needed to lift a finger, and at the golden crack in the air that hadn't fully closed. On the other side of the crack, something was breathing. Heavy, slow, like a colossal beast that had slumbered for millennia, breathing gently, one breath at a time. With each breath, the crack widened a little. Li Tianxiao suddenly smiled. Not out of joy, but because he finally understood. He hadn't lost to Xiao Qian. He had lost to that thing on the other side of the crack. Whatever that thing was, it was something he couldn't afford to offend. He turned and left. Without looking back. The siege of two thousand men dissipated. Not because they had won, but because they had been scared away. The black-armored formation stopped at the city gate, not giving chase. They stood there, like a wall, silently declaring—this city is now under our control. Xiao Qian stood on the city wall, watching the slowly closing golden crack, watching the dark, imposing steel formation below. His legs were weak, not from fear, but from the fact that in that moment, he had staked everything, including his life. Now that he had won, his life was back, and only then did his body begin to feel fear belatedly. But he didn't sit down; he stood. He couldn't sit down yet. Because the golden rift hadn't completely closed. On the other side of the rift, something was watching him. Not hostile, not friendly, but a scrutiny, an examination, as if saying—you won this time, but what about next time? Xiao Qian looked at the rift, saying nothing. He thought a sentence in his heart. He didn't say it aloud, just pondered it. But he knew the other side of the rift could hear him. "Next time, I won't need you." The rift suddenly closed. Below the city, two thousand and forty-three black-armored soldiers simultaneously raised their heads, looking at Xiao Qian. The leading general knelt on one knee, his iron armor slamming into the ground with a dull thud. "Great Xuan Warrior, I have fulfilled my mission." Xiao Qian looked at him, for a long time. "Get up," his voice hoarse, "Go home." Meteor Dragon City still stood. Nine hundred-plus people, not a single one missing. Today. The wind swept across the wasteland, carrying the stench of blood and the scent of rust, along with an indescribable aroma of victory. Xiao Qian stood on the city wall, the setting sun casting his long, long shadow, stretching all the way down to the foot of the dark, imposing steel formation. He lowered his head, looking at the dragon scale in his arms. It was warm. Not scalding, but comforting. Like someone who had slept for a very long time, finally having a good dream. Xiao Qian pressed the dragon scale to his chest and closed his eyes. "Don't cry," he whispered, "Today, we won." The black-armored warriors vanished into the golden crack, as suddenly as they had arrived. Only Xiao Qian remained standing on the city wall. The sun set, the moon rose. He lowered his head, looking at his hand—a faint golden light emanated from his palm, like a thin thread extending from his wrist to his fingertips. Not a wound, but a crack. The crack connecting to "the other side" had not completely closed. A small portion remained inside him. He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but he knew—next time, he wouldn't need that voice to help him. Next time, he would make the being on the other side of the rift kneel before him.

    Chapter 193 [The Crisis of Public Sentiment] Chapter 194 [The Mystery of Fake Death and the Return of the Adopted Son] I'm not exaggerating when I say this book is good, but regardless of gender, if you calmly read just twenty chapters, you'll be completely engrossed and unable to extricate yourself, as if you've personally stepped into that world of swords and shadows, becoming a member of the martial arts world. This book features a young shadow guard as the protagonist, wielding a flying sword that has drunk countless lives without ever missing its mark. It intertwines the swordplay of the martial arts world with the undercurrents of the imperial court, with a tight plot, crisp fights, tense confrontations on the brink of life and death, and delicate and moving tender moments of romance.
