Kiros, the assassin of light, died in a transaction, a transaction between the Tower of China and the owner of Bailang City.
Three years ago, the total war in the mainland countries ended in the kingdom losing more than half of the land, and the empire lost one third of the land. The natural benefit is the Tower of China. The territory of the Tower of China is now no less than that of the Empire and the Kingdom. Has become a real country. Originally, the Tower of China had the capacity to continue its expansion, but they faced pressure from both sides, and finally ended the war on their own initiative. One is the pressure from all directions of the Temple of Nature Shrine, but Xiao Chen did not want to fight against the Temple of Nature just after a big battle. Later, through the mediation of Roland and other secular priests, this contradiction did not expand. The second is the limited team of Chinese tower cadres. It takes a lot of time to digest the captured land.
But shortly after the end of the war, the orc tribes in the north and the city-states in the south were not in chaos. The tiger tribe and the wolf tribe among the orcs fought to fight for Wang Ting. The war finally affected more than a dozen tribes, and two-thirds of the orc tribes were involved in this dispute. In the end, the wolf tribe defeated the tiger tribe and won the victory, but the orc departments were also seriously injured. Therefore, although the emperor Alfred died at the same time, his young son succeeded to the throne, the two dukes rebelled, and the empire started civil strife, but the orcs had no spare time to invade south.
On the other hand, the war in the central part of the mainland was quiet for a long time, and the city-states of the south came up with ambitions, using excuses to create disputes, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to expand their influence.
More than a year ago, the reef city owner Avram rebuked the coconut tree city owner Mendina for colluding with the Hai clan to attack their caravan and then waged a war against the coconut tree city. The war did not last for a few months. It ended in a complete defeat of the Coconut City. Reef City included the Coconut Tree City under its rule. Next, Afram pointed his finger at Sunset City again, and the reason for sending troops was exactly the same. Similarly, Sunset City was not conquered for long. Two city-states were added at once, so that the power of the reef city suddenly swelled. If it was changed to other city owners, it would have been jointly punished by other cities, but the reef city was different. The only saint in the southern city-state, the youngest son of Kiros.
The city-state alliance is not without its own protests. But all protests were blocked by Kiros.
He said to the Alliance messenger: "People who bully my son must pay the price. If someone hinders this, it is against me personally. And all those who opposed me are dead. If you think anyone is better than time Saint Sousa is even more powerful, then try my light of death. "
Kiros ’s prestige in the southern city-states made everyone dare not to resist lightly, and because the city-states were originally unpopular and each was pregnant, so the two wars ended in nowhere.
After taking two shots, Afram ’s Reef City also stopped for a while. After that, he did not make any moves for nearly a year, but just half a month later, he repeated his tricks again and accused Bai Lang again. The city attacked their caravan in the open sea, causing a ship to sink.
Bailang City Lord Peles knew that this was all stolen and framed. The ship was obviously sunk by the storm. His fleet also rescued the seamen from the two reef cities, but his argument was pale and weak in front of a saint. .

Peles also tried to pull up an alliance to fight against Reef City, but several city owners who were originally interested in this retreated after being warned by Kiros. In desperation, he had to recruit mercenaries and prepare for the army. But he is very clear that no matter how he prepares, under the huge military advantage and master advantage of Reef City, it is an inevitable fate of failure.
However, just when he was about to lose faith, several messengers from the China Tower secretly approached him.
They gave him a choice to cooperate with their assassination of Kiros. Peles did not know the reason why the China Tower and Kiros were hostile. In his view, the reason why the Chinese want to fight Kiros is that they do not want to see the rise of a powerful country in the south. However, this reason is enough for him to convince himself. The heads of the coconut tree city and sunset city were both hung on the gates of the reef city. He didn't want to be the next one.
Therefore, he issued an invitation to Kiros at the request of the Chinese. In the invitation, he said that he hoped to secretly surrender to Kiros and exchange an ancestral secret for his safety. It was a holy weapon dagger named "Broken Heart", and it was an indestructible blade. If it was used by Kiros, who is good at daggers, it would definitely exert great power. But the only condition is that he needs to talk to Kiros and only loyal to Kiros, not to Reef City.
After receiving this invitation, Kiros had no doubts, because no one in the southern city-state dared to fight his idea. And he himself is best at sneaking in and escaping. Peles wanted to calculate that he was almost impossible. As for Peles's mind, he also understands well. He wants to be divided into some powers, and like his son Afram, he will become his own sword, thus maintaining his status. Kiros believes that as long as he pays enough, this is not bad. Although Avram is his son, but to add a competitor to him, is it better to discipline him?
What's more, he was also very interested in the holy dagger. Kiros is not very high in the saints, and his talents are more general, but he occupies the characteristics of skills and occupations, which can make him threaten other saints. . And a more handy weapon becomes very important.
In the last battle to assassinate Sasso, his custom dagger "Death Light" suffered some irreparable damage in the explosion made by Sasso, which made his strength drop slightly. If someone could give him a holy weapon dagger, it would just make up for that loss.
So after weighing it, Kiros decided to go to the appointment. In order to be cautious, he also brought a great magician and two great swordsmen. In his view, this is a perfect preparation.
The meeting was naturally conducted in secret, and the location was located in a rich business mansion in Baisha City. This is actually Peles' own property. Before Peles came here, he deliberately detected the surroundings and found that there was no ambush for at least one kilometer, and then fortunately entered the house through the side door.
