What's needed to become a Great General is...The "Willpower" of a hundred! And also, the arm strength of a hundred! Furthermore, the knowledge of a hundred! And the experience of a hundred and the luck of a hundred too!
Great General is considered the highest-ranking position in most military organizations. Those who hold it are considered the most experienced and most talented commanders, becoming living symbols of a state's martial prowess and leading hundreds of thousands of soldiers into battle. Oftentimes, during important campaigns, they are often appointed as a Commander-in-Chief of the campaign with other generals serving as Vice Generals or as role commanders, looking towards them for guidance.
According to Ren Pa, a Great General needs the willpower, arm strength, knowledge, experience, and the luck of a hundred men.
Great Generals Systems[]
Due to the importance of Great Generals and their role in one's military, some states and kingdoms create their own system to organize them and showcase the state's military prowess and might. Here are the known systems:
During his reign, King Sho of Qin implemented an unique system that would allow his handpicked Great Generals to independently conduct campaigns on his behalf. This system was later reinstated by Ei Sei.
Three Great Generals were selected by Zhao for their skills, like Hou Ken for his immense martial prowess, Ri Boku for his military strategy and served as Zhao's Prime Minister, and Shi Ba Shou for his military talents.
During King Anri's reign, seven of Wei's strongest Great Generals took up arms in Wei's service, becoming the Seven Fire Dragons. They were not widely well-known due to infighting and led to deaths for some members while other members to be imprisoned. But the remaining members were later released by Go Hou Mei.
There's Ou Sen and Kan Ki who are on the same level, but neither of them has been promoted to a Great General that's capable of command hundreds of thousands by themselves just yet.
