「Luo Ta City.」
This was a city nestled among the mountains. As a crucial passage through the Mu Diao Mountain Range, it held high strategic value. Once occupied, it effectively controlled the supply line of the western front; thus, the city never lacked garrisons.
Similarly, being at a traffic hub, it saw many merchants coming and going, and its population was complex. Mountain folk, roaming outlaws, bandits... all sorts of forces gathered here. Even though the Kolon military had captured the city, they lacked the surplus energy to eradicate these elements. This, precisely, created the conditions for assassination.
The fog in the surrounding mountain forests was thick. Especially in recent times, each morning Luo Ta City would be enveloped in a dense fog. It was so thick that one could not see their own fingers, and it would only disperse slowly by noon.
「South City's poor district.」
