The warriors of the feudal territory

In the final years of the Qian Dynasty, the realm was beset by enemies on every side. To the north, wolf-mounted cavalry swept south to plunder; to the south, refugees had turned to banditry. The imperial court had fallen into corruption, while the king suppressed his own ministers and schemed to seize the throne. Xiongtiandu commanded the Xilong Guard in defense of the northern border, but one man alone could scarcely hold the line. It was at this time that Lin Chuan crossed over by accident, awakening as a poor scholar in Liushu Village. The very next day, he resolved to set aside his books, take up arms, and join the frontier army.
