As the Dao Calendar turned to the year 3918, it had begun as a relatively calm one.
Friction continued unabated among the various countries, yet, after all, no major events like the destruction of nations had occurred.
On April 13th, a piece of news swiftly spread across the northeastern territories.
For many years, the Mugu and Zheng Countries had been sworn enemies, with constant, neither large nor small, trespasses at their borders.
And on this very day of April 13th, a renowned general from Mugu who belonged to the External Building Environment and was a powerhouse of the Soldier Home, was assassinated on his way back to the military camp.
It was said that three assailants surrounded and slew the renowned general to death, not giving him a chance to mobilize the army.
