Wolf Prison Dockyard.
On the sprawling water fortresses crisscrossing the lake, moonlight and firelight mingled and reflected off each other. The whole dockyard was silent, with only the sound of patrolling sentries' footsteps—quiet as if a mountain flood was about to break forth.
Inside the drill ground built atop the water, a solitary figure was practicing swordsmanship on a narrow single-log bridge.
When Wolf Prison Dockyard was first established, the 'Single-Log Bridge Drill' had been a required trial for every formal Heyang Army soldier, because Heyang's main strategic enemy, the Sea Barbarians, attacked by boarding ships. On board, balancing one's body was of utmost importance, and only those who passed the 'Single-Log Bridge Drill' earned the right to fight at sea.
