Eric's plan of action was extremely good as he reached his goal quite fast, with the situation developing like he intended the Moth Kingdom took a harsh stance.
Immediately a Royal Edict was given to the whole Kingdom, defend yourselves within the cities and don't get out to fight.
At the same time, the Army was prepared in lightning speed, and before Eric could pierce further to cause more chaos, the cities had turned into impenetrable castles.
The Moth's Kingdom response was fast and decisive, which made even Eric amazed, as these guys clearly were miles ahead the Salamander Kingdom.
But just because the Moth Kingdom had managed to defend itself, it didn't mean that Eric had nothing to do now.
In fact, not wasting time he immediately turned around and made his way towards the Salamander Kingdom once again.
