"How about the situation in Palgrost?" Jack asked. "Do we know how many troops they have? Palgrost is a rich country. I believe they should have sufficient troops to face Liguritudum's invasion, shouldn't they? Unlike the last time with Hydrurond, they don't have Aurebor's army supporting them."
Isabelle, Armstrong, and John looked at each other before Isabelle answered the question, "The day before the Liguritudum's invasion, a rift happened within Palgrost's leadership. Thelgrun's brother, Boron Stoneking, who was also Palgrost's vice president, led several other heads of state and contested Thelgrun's rule. The Republic of Palgrost was currently divided into two separate forces."
"What? This can't be a coincidence, can it?" Jack asked.
"I would be amazed if it is," John remarked.
"These rebel heads of states should see the ploy once they see Liguritudum's army cross the border, so they should stand down and face the enemy together, shouldn't they?"
