Elder Muray and Elder Muyu of Huaiyuan Palace were executing missions in a Class A city in Xing'an Prefecture of Huanzhou Province. In peaceful times, Class A cities in Taixia Country didn't need to be defended by so many knights; however, as it was in the western theater of operations, it was necessary to allocate more knights to defend Class A cities.
Although Huanzhou Province was in the western theater of operations, it was far away from the frontline. Additionally, it was in the east of Helan Mountain Range. Xingan Prefecture was also close to Bingzhou Province in the northeast of Huanzhou Province, also the place where Blackwater Base stayed for the first time. Actually, it was an easy and safe mission for Elder Muray and Elder Muyu. At least Xingan Prefecture could barely be attacked by demon knights before demons officially broke through Helan Mountain Range.
