Title: The Fierce General of the Tang Dynasty
“A drawn sword, enemies slain, their blood to drink. Ziliang fights for the Tang Dynasty. To die on the battlefield, wrapped in a horse’s hide, is the highest honor. I would die a hundred times without regret!”
“I am a general. I must defend the Tang realm and serve my country faithfully. I must win the greatest victory at the lowest cost!”
Zhao Ziliang, a border patrol cavalryman who had dreamed of becoming a general since childhood, was killed in a fight with smugglers while on a mission. His soul was carried to the prosperous Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty by a white jade thumb ring, and he possessed the body of a low-ranking border soldier. The ring held an inner space of its own. It could absorb the life force of those newly slain on the battlefield, expanding by one cubic meter for every enemy he killed, and could also heal its owner’s wounds. With the ring’s extraordinary power, Zhao Ziliang became seemingly impossible to kill on the battlefield. Drinking his enemies’ blood and stepping over their corpses, he fought his way toward the rank of general.
