Stellar Hegemony

In the northern border city under endless snow, orphan Ye Lingyun wakes up frozen in the snow just as the Red Flame Empire's army presses on the border. A bowl of hot noodles brings him to know noodle shop owner's daughter Luo Qingyi; three cups of cheap wine make him sworn brothers with the impoverished military book fanatic Jiang Zixuan and the hunter-born prodigy of divine strength Tie Wushuang. Starting from intercepting Red Flame scouts, they embark on a path of defending the city against overwhelming odds. However, war on this continent is never decided by swords and blood. Military strategy is law, and schemes are divine powers. 'Crossing the sea under heaven's nose' can twist fate, and 'cutting off the fuel supply' can sever the source of laws. Sealed within Ye Lingyun is the ancient 'Military Solution Eye,' which can see through all law nodes and decipher all array patterns. Repairing law ballistas, dismantling enemy armor, precisely cutting off enemy foundations amidst thousands of troops—every move is backed by Jiang Zixuan's deduced strategies. Three hundred remnants resist two hundred thousand iron cavalry, from border city to Tianxiao City, from empty city stratagem to burning the connected camps. When Ye Lingyun finally destroys the base of the Furnace of Heaven and forces back Red Flame Emperor Yin Wuji, a higher existence—the Immortal Palace—finally looks down. 'Your war is merely a deduction on my chessboard.' From orphan to commander, from pawn to player. With strategy as blade and will as armor, the human way challenges heaven.
