The Ascendant Marshal

In a crumbling empire where martial spirits define potential, true power is forged in the crucible of war. Born into a disgraced military house, a young strategist is dismissed as a failure, yet he secretly harbors a rare and dangerous hidden power. To restore his honor, he must navigate a unique progression system where every rank is earned through battlefield glory and strategic genius. He unites a band of gifted misfits, forging unbreakable bonds of brotherhood against ambitious warlords and a shadowy cult manipulating the throne from the shadows. His quest for justice becomes a desperate war for the empire’s soul when his fated love—a woman whose life is intertwined with the nation’s destiny—becomes the enemy’s ultimate prize. This is an epic saga of tactics, loyalty, and a meteoric rise from ruin to rule.
