Conquering Calradia from the Snowfield

The Calradian Empire has fallen, the continent is shattered, and an age of chaos has descended. The Northern, Southern, and Western Empires stand locked in rivalry, while Sturgia, Khuzait, Aserai, Vlandia, Battania, and the Nords each hold their own territory—nine great powers mired in endless war. Nobles crush one another, bandits run rampant, and mercenaries thrive in the chaos. On this land, only force and ambition command respect. Zhao Heng, a veteran Mount & Blade player, transmigrates into a declining noble of Sturgia. His family was framed by Lucon, a powerful minister of the Northern Empire. Their fiefs are lost, their retainers scattered. He begins with nothing, trapped in a desperate dead end amid the chaos. In that dead end, the【Eye of Command】awakens. Drawing on countless hours of in-game combat experience, Zhao Heng sees through the war rules of the entire continent—the strengths and weaknesses of every troop type, every terrain flaw, every power struggle, and the course of every battle. With his hidden cards in hand, Zhao Heng starts from nothing. He gathers refugees and broken soldiers, recruits down-and-out mercenaries, reforms the military system with advanced tactics, forges fine steel weapons and armor, and builds the elite Iron Spine Army. He maneuvers among the nine monarchs, forming alliances and playing them against one another, growing stronger step by step. He seizes control of border salt and iron trade, carves out his own domain, and bows to no lord or royal house. Once a declining noble bullied by others, he becomes, step by step, a warlord of the chaotic age whom all nine powers fear. With iron and fire, Zhao Heng sweeps away a century of war. With cunning and armored cavalry, he ends the strife among the states and finally unifies the realm. In a shattered Calradia, he forges a supreme hegemony! — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Conquering Calradia from the Snowfield — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
