In Palgrost, the Liguritudum army marched deeper into Palgrost territory.
Due to his brother's rebellion, Thelgrun couldn't muster a sufficient army to clash directly with the invaders. Furthermore, Boron's force was positioned at the region opposite where Liguritudum was attacking. If Thelgrun went for either Liguritudum or Boron, he would leave his back open.
If he went for Liguritudum, Boron would seize the capital. If he went for Boron, the capital would be defenseless when Liguritudum arrived. If he divided his army to go for both, he was not confident his army size was enough. Hence, Thelgrun was in a dilemma until he received Jack's offer for help.
He was very happy when he heard of the assist. At the same time, he felt regretful for not taking Jack's warning seriously. He vowed that if Palgrost survived this invasion, he would ally with Jack to take down Liguritudum.
