Den Ri Mi was a distinguished General of the Qin Military and a high-ranking commander within the Ou Sen Army. He initially served as the 3rd Division Commander but was later promoted to the position of 2nd Division Commander following Qin's hard-fought victory at the Battle at Shukai Plains, a campaign that significantly shifted the balance of power in Qin's favor. His promotion came as a result of the death of Ma Kou, his predecessor, who perished during the battle.

As the 2nd Division Commander, Den Ri Mi played a crucial role in executing Ou Sen’s strategic maneuvers, overseeing a significant portion of the army and contributing to Qin's military successes. Known for his discipline and leadership, he was entrusted with commanding elite troops in key battles.

However, Den Ri Mi met his end during the Battle of Hango, a fierce conflict that proved costly for Qin. His death marked a significant loss for the Ou Sen Army, as he was one of its most experienced commanders. Despite his demise, his contributions to Qin’s expansion and military campaigns left a lasting impact on the battlefield.

Appearance

Den Ri Mi was a young-looking man with long black hair and goatee. He was always seen with a serious expression. He wore decorated military armor associated with the upper commanders of the Ou Sen Army.

Personality

Den Ri Mi was a strict man who took any mission he was given seriously as 'failure' was not allowed. He was a pure strategist who preferred to fight his enemies from a distance with a keen view so he could observe the situation. He also placed a heavy emphasis on punctuality and manners, typically lecturing or angrily glaring at anyone who came off to be rude.

He greatly respected his lord, Ou Sen as his superior and was more/less able to understand the great general's point of view, like on one occasion at the center army's camp at the Battle of Shukai Plains, Ou Sen and Den Ri Mi understood each other's conversation with only a few words regarding Qin's Right-Wing force as a main key point of the overall war.

History

A younger Den Ri Mi as 100-Man Commander.

Den Ri Mi's early life remains largely unknown, but as a young man he joined the Qin Military and quickly displayed exceptional talent in warfare. At a young age, he had already attained the rank of 100-Man Commander, and his strategic abilities were well recognized on the battlefield during the era of the War God, King Shou.

At one point, Den Ri Mi was approached by Ou Sen, who specifically sought him out. Upon their meeting, Ou Sen inquired about his rank, to which Den Ri Mi responded that he commanded only a hundred soldiers. Finding this rank far too low for someone of his abilities, Ou Sen immediately promoted him to the rank of 1000-Man Commander in the Ou Sen Army. Den Ri Mi, recognizing the opportunity as well being amused by Ou Sen's headhunting, accepted the offer and began his ascent through the ranks.

Over the years, Den Ri Mi fought loyally under Ou Sen, serving alongside fellow commanders A Kou, Sou'Ou, and Ma Kou. As he continued to rise in the military hierarchy, he was eventually promoted to the rank of General. Within a few years, he attained the position of Third Division Commander in the Ou Sen Army, solidifying his status as one of Qin's key military figures.

Unlike A Kou and Ma Kou, who personally led their troops into battle, Den Ri Mi preferred a more strategic approach. He commanded his forces from a distance, overseeing the battlefield to assess situations and make calculated decisions. This leadership style allowed him to make precise tactical calls that contributed to the army’s overall success.
