Starfrost War Song

In the 721st year of the Xinglan Calendar, the blizzards of the Frostsong Plains buried countless travelers, but could not bury the sharpness of youth. The orphan Lu Li defended a border village alone with a hunting knife, skilled in calculation and hiding his sword skills; Bai Ze, who learned martial arts in the snowy mountains, descended with a knight's oath, loyal and sincere, adhering to chivalry; the fallen noble Helian Ge, carrying a broken seal and fleeing for his life, hid a blood feud beneath the frost of his sword. The three swore brotherhood in a snowy tavern, using the broken seal as their emblem, and founded the Starfrost Mercenary Corps. Starting as an F-rank group driving wolves from the snowfields, they seized treasure in an underground altar and underwent trials in the Yaohui Tower. Lu Li, proficient in both magic and martial arts, amazed everyone; the Yaolong Xueling hatched and acknowledged its master; the forest elf Wuge pledged a sacred oath. As relics of the old king surfaced, the secret war between the empire and the church swept in—a night of blood and confiscation, fame in the arena—the youths were pushed step by step into a monumental torrent. The Huangge army trampled the southern shore, and the flames of war spread across the five realms. But the countless armies and the rise and fall of empires are merely moves on the chessboard of the gods in the heavens. When the name of Jinyan resounds atop the tower, and the dragon banner sweeps across the snowfields and seas, the three northern youths will ultimately uncover the truth of the gods' fall and write a war epic belonging to mercenaries. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Starfrost War Song — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
