General Li Xin and General Meng Tian, two famous generals of Great Qin!
The Rank 1 Generals Mansion can only view current information; higher Ranks are needed for the future.
However, the currently unlocked generals already made Su Yang very satisfied.
General Li Xin, the Marquis of Longxi.
One of the young generals most favored and trusted by the King of Great Qin.
He once followed the great army to breach Zhao and Yan, pacified Qi and Chu, and achieved outstanding military merits.
While pursuing the Yan army, he led his troops deep into enemy territory and obtained the head of Crown Prince Dan of Yan, the mastermind behind Jing Ke.
Whether it is combat ability, command ability, or the courage to venture deep into enemy territory alone, General Li Xin is worthy of the title of a famous general.
With a general-Rank unit joining, it will definitely bring a qualitative leap to the troops!
With a flash of thought, Su Yang poured all his assets into the Generals Mansion.
[ command points - 10000 ]
[ Summoning General Li Xin... ]
Boom —
The upper part of the Generals Mansion suddenly sank with a deafening roar.
Immediately, the sound of steam gushing out rang out, and the upper part slowly lifted.
The entire building began to operate like a steel behemoth.
Amidst the rolling steam and the dust that had been shaken up, the mechanical roaring gradually ceased.
The heavy iron gates of the Generals Mansion opened to both sides.
Thick white steam surged out, and a huge marching sound composed of mechanical operation and clashing rang out.
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, replaced by the high-speed rotation of gears and the sound of sharp energy piercing the air.
Whoosh —
A silver light lit up, and the thick white mist was instantly dispersed.
General Li Xin, wearing silver Imperial Armor, holding a mechanical long spear, and standing nearly 2.5 meters tall, appeared before Su Yang.
General Li Xin spun the long spear in his hand, triggering some kind of mechanical device.
The various parts of the long spear quickly operated and retracted toward the center.
In the span of a breath, the nearly 3-meter-long spear was reduced to only two palms' width.
General Li Xin hung the retracted device at his waist, took off his helmet, and saluted solemnly.
"Subordinate General Li Xin, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Marquis of Longxi, General Li Xin (Iron Battle Armor)
The volume of his shout was like thunder piercing through the Soul.
Su Yang finally understood the feeling of ancient generals scaring off enemy troops with just a shout.
Before him, General Li Xin, like the Great Qin Elite Soldiers, wore Imperial Armor.
But his Imperial Armor was a whole size larger, and the overall appearance was silvery-white.
The critical parts of this set of Imperial Armor had been replaced with iron!
Iron is harder than copper and possesses various excellent properties.
Parts used for defense, such as the breastplate and greaves, were all replaced with iron plates.
Some rod components that emphasized hardness were also replaced with iron products.
The appearance of iron gave the Imperial Armor stronger defensive attributes and higher load-bearing strength.
In addition to the iron upgrade, General Li Xin's Imperial Armor also had higher armor coverage.
The Imperial Armor of the Great Qin Elite Soldiers only had armor on important parts; some joints were left unprotected for the sake of flexibility.
But General Li Xin's entire body was almost completely covered by Imperial Armor, and even the joints had protective Imperial Armor.
This undoubtedly meant that the Great Qin's Imperial Armor craftsmanship had advanced further.
Besides defensive attributes, the steam power devices on the Imperial Armor had also changed.
Their composition material had not changed; they were still made of copper, which has excellent thermal conductivity.
But their quantity and distribution locations had changed.
The Armored Elite Soldiers only had one cylindrical steam power device on their backs.
While General Li Xin had power devices of various sizes installed on his back, lower back, elbows, knee joints, feet, and other parts.
With the bonus from these steam power devices, the flexibility and combat effectiveness of the Imperial Armor would receive a qualitative boost!
Is this what a Hero-Rank military unit is!
After admiring General Li Xin's Imperial Armor, Su Yang asked.
"Does the General know his mission?"
General Li Xin did not hesitate.
"To expand the territory, expel foreign races, and restore the prestige of Great Qin!"
Su Yang nodded with satisfaction and immediately checked General Li Xin's panel.
Unlike ordinary military units, Hero-Rank units possess more thoughts and self-awareness.
While accepting the Forbidden Ground and modern content, they also retain the memories and behavioral styles of their past lives.
[ General: General Li Xin ]
[ Unit Type: Garrison Army Vanguard ]
[ Imperial Armor Equipment: Iron Steam-Powered Imperial Armor ]
[ Imperial Armor Effect: None ]
[ Weapon Equipment: Iron Mechanically-Powered Silver Spear ]
[ Weapon Effect: None ]
[ General Skill: Commanding Vanguard ]
[ Skill Effect: All friendly melee units within a certain range have their morale greatly increased, improving combat ability by 20% ]
[ Energy Consumption: 10 units of fuel/day, 10 units of concentrated water/day ]
[ Maintenance Consumption: 10 units of copper ore resources, 10 units of iron ore resources ]
Opening General Li Xin's panel, a series of information appeared.
Unlike ordinary military units, general-Rank units possess more complex combat panels.
According to the panel description, his combat power is composed of three aspects: the Imperial Armor worn, the weapon held, and the general's skill.
Combined with the Heavenly Artisan profession's ability to upgrade and modify Imperial Armor and weapons.
Su Yang guessed that the Imperial Armor and weapons of subsequent general-Rank units could be individually crafted and upgraded to obtain special bonuses.
The upgrade and training of the other item, general's skills, could be completed directly within the Generals Mansion.
The bonuses from Imperial Armor and weapons tend towards individual combat power, while general's skills tend more towards team effects for commanding troops.
After reading the panel, Su Yang's eyes flickered.
As expected of a general-Rank unit! They not only possess powerful individual combat power but also team buff skills.
General Li Xin's joining will definitely bring a qualitative leap to the army!
Besides the hero building, the Rank 3 Main Base also brought many other upgrades.
However, with the Bug Swarm Tide approaching, these upgrades can only be checked later.
Closing the panel, Su Yang returned to allocating the various units.
Excluding General Li Xin, the territory currently has 50 soldier units.
Among them are 30 Rank 2 Armored Elite Soldiers and 20 Great Qin Armored Crossbowmen.
The general arrangement is the same as before, except that the mobile support unit has been replaced by General Li Xin.
General Li Xin, possessing stronger Imperial Armor and combat power, is more suitable as a reinforcement.
The defense placement is complete, and now it's just a matter of waiting for the Insect Swarm to attack.
As time passed, the damp and rotten atmosphere gradually intensified.
The black mist floating in the dense forest also became thicker and thicker, almost obscuring all vision...
