The absence of the Liguritudum leader was relieving. Aldryth had heard from Arthur that Master had two eternal-grade zombie dragons by his side. If he called his country guardian, he would have three eternal-grade helpers. Aldryth could no longer call Eoranth. She didn't know for sure if the lord of dragons would come to her aid again, or if Eoranth was even still in Hydrurond. Her army would be at a serious disadvantage against those three eternal-grade beings. Hence, she was glad when she didn't see Master.
However, the fact that she didn't see any zombie troops worried Aldryth. This meant the enemy army in front of them was not Master's full force.
"They probably left the zombie army behind so they can catch up to us," Zoikod said. "Most of the zombie army are formed from low-level natives. So, their speed cannot be compared to the formal army."
"… Then we have to destroy the enemy in front of us before the zombie army catches up," Aldryth said.
