Deep within the Western Regions, a new city has taken shape. Warriors in fresh armor patrol the four territories, while many who have removed their heavy armor are constructing watchtowers, outlining the city's boundaries.
In the City Lord Mansion, a young nobleman with a pale complexion and clad in brocade stands observing the sand table map. The map has been crafted with great precision, revealing terrain details at a glance. The city is positioned at the eastern edge, with countless red dots representing Witch Clan cities and villages densely packed within three thousand miles west.
At the southern edge of the map are some purple dots, representing the mountain people's forces.
The young nobleman holds pieces representing various military forces, attempting to place them on the map, advancing westward. On the opposite side stands an old general, holding pieces representing the Witch Clan, forming formations to resist.
