The wind and snow filled the sky at Yanmen Pass, and Xiao Ce, the orphan of the guilty minister, took up residence in the northern border with three hundred dead soldiers in black armor. In the past, the 30,000 elites were all scattered, leaving only a lonely soul with broken armor, bearing the infamy of the guilty army, guarding the last line of defense in the world. When Beidi knocked on the pass, one hundred thousand cavalry pressed down on the border. He fought against the powerful enemy with his lone army. Three hundred mysterious armors defeated the one hundred thousand army. The battle shocked the world, and his sharp edge pierced the dark night.
He became famous in one battle and entered the game in one fell swoop. The cause of the old commander's death has been shrouded in suspicion for many years.
