The forest is like a sea, carving a green demarcation line across the earth, and outside the dense forest, along the river at intervals, there stands a sentinel post of the Southwest Border Army.
This is the Southwest Territory.
It is also beyond the borders of Yu Country, the land inhabited by the Liao Clan, where in the vast mountains, birds and beasts take flight, as if sensing the stirrings from the northern Zhengyang Mountain.
In what seems like an ancient forest, a "sentinel" standing atop the dense canopy gazes northward. She is a tall female hunter, wearing a dress sewn from animal skins, her exposed skin shines darkly, a woman in her twenties with an exotic face, her green eyes narrowing.
The female sentinel turns deftly, her movements so broad that the bone-crafted ornaments hanging from the skirt at her waist jingle.
She whistles a sharp note!
"Screech!"
From afar, a massive bird flaps its wings, stirring a gale as it soars towards her.
