Truen and Bob were tasked to escort Misana back to Smargdas to reunite with King Brice. Zero decided to remain in Half Moon Village to make the final preparations. He sent word to Desert Lily, Jynx, Queen Rosalind, Fae King Vivian and Dorgon that he might require assistance in the near future. Zero didn't explain in detail what was going to happen but he dropped hints that they were arming up for a tough time ahead.
According to Mitchnew and Desert Lily's information sources, the situation in Smargdas was very tense. Grey Legion pulled out completely and the influences within the city became divided. Duke Connie started to expand his resources and influence across the city as Duke Zurich suffered heavy losses. Without Grey Legion's backing, Duke Connie easily became the greatest threat in Smagdas capital with his adventurer guild, slave guild and large private army.
