Even though Su Mo set off the moment he learned of the situation, rushing to Moonlight Mansion at top speed, he was still too late.
The Crow's Nest thugs had already taken over this iconic building and begun executing hostages.
What was now happening inside Moonlight Mansion had also played out in the game plot of "Dawn," where it was referred to as the "Xinghai Cinema Hostage Crisis."
The trigger for this incident was the Wolf King Fenrir breaching the Rust Wall, which won the wolf attacks immense popular support in the King of the Borderlands election.
Realizing that the situation was spiraling out of control, the current King of the Borderlands, Crow's Nest, decided to respond with an even greater atrocity.
They dispatched elite thugs into the Inner City to take hostages at Xinghai Cinema, threatening authorities and demanding independence for the Borderlands.
Success would mean making history.
