Novoland: The Tribulations of the Tang Empire V: A Lifelong Pact

At the end of the Yin dynasty and the beginning of the Xie, the land of the Nine Provinces is in turmoil. The alliance formed by the lords of the Eastern Continent after the Battle of Shangyang Pass has fallen apart. The barbarian heavy cavalry emperor, “Iron Pagoda,” absent for seventy years, has returned to the battlefield. The rebel Feathered Ones have set the forests of Ningzhou ablaze, and war between the races could break out at any moment.
