Garoce was preparing for war, which indeed frightened a lot of the surrounding territories.
Especially Viscount Mantes, also known as Viscount Mantis.
Once, the old Viscount Mantis had a feud with Garoce's father due to a herd of reindeer migrating from Viscount Mantis's domain to the Azanen Domain.
Thus, over this herd of reindeer, two decaying families began a struggle.
Azanen believed that since the deer came to Azanen, they belonged to Azanen and others couldn't touch them!
However, Mantes believed that since the deer grew fat on the grass from Mantes's domain, they were theirs.
Verbal disputes proved fruitless, so war erupted.
The conflict ended with the victory of the old Viscount Mantis, and later Garoce's father, Lin Ke's grandfather, succumbed to severe injuries from this incident.
Of course, by the time Garoce came into the world, the old Viscount Mantis had already been avenged by Garoce.
Now, the new Viscount Mantis targeted Lin Ke more than once.
