As Jack sent a message to John informing John of what he had seen, John also heard the sound and saw the dust cloud in the distance.
John was also puzzling about how the enemy had crossed the marshland unknowingly, but this was no time to wonder. He used the war table to hurriedly reorganize the troops' formation. Under his quick organizing, the Themisphere army formed a long line formation facing the incoming enemy.
Aldryth didn't have a war table so her commands were conveyed verbally. The Hydrurond army reorganized at a much slower pace compared to the Themisphere army.
John told her to just place her army at Themisphere's rear. Putting an army that was not controllable into the midst of his army would just cause chaos and upset his rhythm.
The Themisphere army numbered 1,000,000 troops. Out of this one million, 50,000 went with Jack to stop the enemy by the cliff's road. Aldryth commanded 800,000 troops.
