At noon the second day after the Allied forces defeated the Liguritudum army, John was on the mobile fortress overlooking the combined armies. They were ready to depart. He just had a meeting inside this mobile fortress with the country leaders and guild leaders to coordinate their march. These leaders went back to their respective groups to carry out the arrangements.
John saw Grace fly over.
"He is not yet awake?" John asked after Grace landed.
Grace shook her head. "I will be staying here with him," she said.
"I expected as much," John said. "A message would have sufficed. There is no need for you to fly over here."
"She is here to send us off, you insensitive man," Jeanny said to John. To Grace, she said, "Take care of him, and don't worry about us."
"Yeah! Six countries against one guild. This will be like crushing a bug!" Paytowin exclaimed.
Grace chuckled. "Don't get too cocky," she said.
