While Aldryth's army fought fiercely against the Liguritudum army, Jack led his army toward Messephyria. His Runestone of Marching afforded his army a boost of speed. In half a day, they had arrived near the capital as expected. Jack looked at the defensive walls surrounding the capital. It was in a bad state. He was not here during the defensive battle last time, but he supposed the condition was still the same as when that battle ended. He had heard the info from Arthur, but he still couldn't believe Master just left this capital unattended after he conquered it. That man truly just treated this country as a place to milk for its resources. The last time, his side was defending this place. This time, they were the aggressors. He supposed he had to be thankful that Master didn't spend any effort in rebuilding the capital's defenses. This should make retaking the place easier. The place didn't even look to have many troops guarding it. Master truly no longer considered keeping this country. With all the massacres he had done, he doubted the draconians would listen to him. It was only a matter of time before he lost this country, even if there was no one to seize the throne from him. Peniel said that if the good Gods were still functioning as they should, they would have come when Master repeated his atrocious deeds. They would have confiscated the throne from him and given it to a more suitable candidate. But they didn't appear, this further proved that the good Gods had abandoned their roles after God of Hope fell. This was regrettable, but Master also lost support from the bad Gods. Jack preferred it this way. They shouldn't rely on these divine interventions. Although it might be convenient at times, like when he was saved by Goddess Serenity a few times in the past, he still thought that mortals should solve their problems themselves. Jack took out his Staff of Illios. He fed one thousand mana cores into it. An image projection appeared, showing houses from a bird-eye view. Jack used the Eye of Surveillance to spy on the situation inside the capital. He wanted to make sure that there was no surprise inside. Jack moved the image around to see the different parts of the capital. There were truly not that many troops. The ones they saw seemed to be lazing around. After searching around for some time, he spotted a large group of soldiers. They were situated near the palace, and a majority of them were ethereal soldiers. It appeared Master left a portion of the Liguritudum army inside this capital. When the image disappeared, Genesis asked, "How should we do this?"
