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.
