Dayan Mangban

This person was crafty and cunning, well-versed in the ways of strategy and tactics. And he was also patient and skilled in concealment. All this plus that thick killing intent that could only have been refined through mountains of corpses and seas of blood had completely upset Wang Chong’s traditional impression of Tibetan generals and experts. It was enough to leave a deep brand on anyone’s mind, leave them a sight that they could never forget!

In the entirety of Ü-Tsang, the people who had attained the Great General level could be counted on one’s fingers. Although Dayan Mangban was not a Great General, he was acknowledged by the entire Ü-Tsang Empire, including the Tsenpo and the Great Ministers, as a future ‘Brigadier General’!

Although his strength could not compare to Dusong Mangpoje’s, the gap was not a substantial one.

There were two great clans in the northern region of Ü-Tsang, the Dayan Clan and the Dusong Clan. They were both extremely old and powerful clans, with long histories and deep roots in the region.

In Tibetan, ‘Mangban’ had the meaning of ‘hero’, ‘talented one’, ‘brave’.

From this, one could easily imagine the strength of someone named ‘Dayan Mangban’. And besides that, his ability to ride the ‘Bloodhoof Steed’ from the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple and obtain the temple’s acknowledgment was proof enough of his strength.

In Ü-Tsang, anyone who could ride the Bloodhoof Steed represented a special existence, that of ‘slaughter’.

The Bloodhoof Steed of the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple had always been given to individuals with exceptionally thick killing intents.

Dayan Mangban’s course through life had been somewhat different from Dusong Mangpoje’s. He had not risen from the regular army, and rather than the melees and formations of regular armies, Dayan Mangban was more skilled in assassination!

Ü-Tsang had many small countries on its border: Greater and Lesser Balur, the Shi Kingdom, the Kang Kingdom, Tukhara, and many others. Many of the renowned generals from these small kingdoms had been killed at the hands of Dayan Mangban.

In the Western Regions, Dayan Mangban had another name: the God of Death.

## Past Life

A brigadier general of Ü-Tsang and a future Imperial Great General of illustrious name. For a time, his reputation had even surpassed that of traditional Ü-Tsang Great Generals like Dusong Mangpoje and Huoshu Huicang. He had even nipped at the heels of the King of Generals We Tadra Khonglo, and was called We Tadra Khonglo’s successor!

There was a period when this man was the most threatening existence to the Tang in its waning days, because he was mad, dangerous, bloodthirsty, yet also extremely intelligent. Most importantly, he had a very carefree way of thinking, and it was impossible to predict his actions using common sense.

His bloodlust and madness meant that he would heedlessly and crazily do things that no normal person would do. And his incredible intelligence meant that every time he did strike, he would present a massive problem and threat to his opponents.

He had fought with the Turks, the Arabs, the Characenians, the Sindhi, the Great Tang… The list of his targets was extremely long, and there were times when he even crossed one country to attack another.

If not for the otherworldly invasion, Dayan Mangban would have been the number one target of the various factions in the northwest.

But these were not the reasons Wang Chong knew of him. Rather, Wang Chong clearly remembered that Dayan Mangban was one of the two critical figures behind Qixi Protectorate’s lack of soldiers.

And the renowned White Braves of Ü-Tsang just so happened to be one of the armies he had led.

And when the Mamelukes of the Abbasid Caliphate advanced on the plateau and were given a heavy blow by the White Braves, Dayan Mangban had been the Tibetan commander.
