More than half a month had passed since Hirodod was assassinated, but Duolin City had not calmed down; instead, it became increasingly chaotic.
The Raimondi family, which had long ruled here, had been wiped out by the Blood Moon Association.
As a result, the city lost its legal ruler, and many powers began to stir.
This included some Noble Families within the city, the remnants of the Blood Moon Association, and the defeated army left by Gwen.
The latter had only recently been crushed and assimilated by Hirodod, originally at the bottom of the power structure.
However, Hirodod's death suddenly made them a hot commodity, no matter how poorly they fought in that last battle, after all, there were still nearly four thousand of them.
A thousand followed Ilkand to leave, while the remaining three thousand remained the largest armed force within Duolin City, and had now become the target of other powers' recruitment.
