Huorong City.
In the Brugen family graveyard, Grace, dressed in a pure black long dress, adorned with a white daisy on her chest, stands silently praying in front of Count Brugen's grave.
Behind her, a group of nobles and military officers gathered to attend the annual ceremony of Count Brugen.
One year ago today, Count Brugen led the Huorong Army, known as the strongest land army in the East, into battle against the Blood Knight Army, resulting in the complete annihilation of his forces.
What's even more incredulous was that it wasn't even the main force of the Blood Knight Army that destroyed the fifty-thousand-strong Huorong Army.
A mere three thousand Blood Knights shattered the Huorong Army on the battlefield.
This defeat completely broke the morale of the eastern soldiers. Since then, the mere mention of Blood Knight Army has become an inescapable nightmare for Easterners.
