The meeting continued for a few more hours, discussing the details of the defensive plan. Since Jack didn't join the capital defense, he excused himself. It was more beneficial for him to return immediately and started moving his army. Jeanny, Megan, Bowler, and Arthur stayed behind because they were joining the defense.
The Themisphere army that had previously been prepared near the border had been pulled back deeper into the country. Hence, it would take time to march them back to the border. They would then have to cross the expansive border region, before traversing their way through Hydrurond territory to reach the capital.
Jack estimated under normal circumstances, it might take his army three weeks to arrive at Messephyria.
