Lex wracked her brain on how to infiltrate the Sikenqinyan Empire, locating Bain with her hidden arts. Bain was had serious injuries, and he had only six of his men left with him. Lex snatched the seven assassins away from the surrounding mercenaries and ran nonstop until they reached Didypus.
The march of an all-magic army was incredibly fast, and reactions of the likes of mercenaries could have never hoped to catch up to Lex's forces.
Unfortunately, the regular army of the Sikenqinyan Empire was deployed. The army was even split into two groups and made their way straight for the Kingdom of Metatrin. Lex was soon caught in a pincer maneuver as soon as she got out of the Chaotic Swamp. It was fortunate that Aini was building a city there, which deployed an army to take Lex back.
