Because of Aethelwolf's presence, Gozgel was forced to retreat with heavy injuries. The Underworlder army also retreated to the far corner of the Northern Region. They no longer dared to provoke the allied army so the Regalis Continent entered a short period of peace.
The allied army temporarily disbanded, but they still occasionally sent some scouts to the Northern Region to observe the movement of the Underworlders. However, they just quietly built a new base in a small area of the Northern Region. Their army didn't show any signs of movement.
Initially, Aethelwolf wanted to attack them while Gozgel was still recovering from his injuries. However, Xymera was also severely injured at that time. It would be difficult for him to kill Gozgel without Xymera's help and the guy might even escape if he was cornered. Left with no choice, Aethelwolf could only retreat to the Barden Territory with his troops.
