North latitude 52 degrees, Heilongjiang River.
The majestic White Mountain, the vast Black Water, and the endless deep forest all stretch across the desolate lands of Outer Northeast.

Three long-headed oar-sail ships are slowly paddling upstream along the broad river. On the flagship, the Great Snow Wolf, forty strong tribal warriors are rowing fiercely, sweat beads on their necks. And the Kingdom's Warriors and Jurchen Armor Soldiers, dressed in leather armor and carrying greatbows, are densely seated on the deck, matching the number of the rowers.
