Homophonic to the "Death" Company, assignment to the Fourth Vanguard Company brings fear and prestige at the same time. On the scorching deserts of Wu Zetian, that cruel empress, the 4th VC is at the spearhead of every mission: anti-terrorism, squashing rebellions, and staging coups.

Whatever the case, the Fourth Vanguard Company will be on the frontline, shaping the future of the Celestial Territories.
