"Farking horse beard hanging upside down," Thelgrun cursed.

John and Wilted looked at the dwarf president with weird faces. John turned to Wilted and said, "I have no idea what that means. Do you know what that means?" To which Wilted responded with a shrug.

"In any case, this is very bad news," Horatio said. "I'm afraid my army will have to return to Sangrod immediately."

"If you do that, we won't be able to stop the underworld force!" Jeanny exclaimed.

"If I stay, my country will be overrun by the demonic horde even if we stop the underworld force here," Horatio returned. "I'm sorry. I have to prioritize my country and my people. That is my immediate concern. Once that is settled, then we will talk again about how to deal with the underworld force."

"I'm sorry to say this, but I have the same thoughts as him," Thelgrun said. "I don't have many troops left in this alliance, anyway. It won't make a difference even if I leave. I have to return to my country to organize my people to handle the underworld portal in my country."

"I will have to leave as well. My queen will need me," Dytess said.

Jennifer, who represented Aurebor, placed a hand on Jeanny, "Sister, I've just informed our mother about the underworld portal. She asked me to bring the remaining elven troops and return to Aurebor immediately."

After one day of traveling, they received the news that Jack had woken up. Jack told them to go back directly to Themisphere. He was still in Dritzuut, so he would issue the evacuation command. Afterward, he would return toThemisphere. They could discuss their next move there.

With that arrangement, John sent the command for the army to change their course. Liguritudum's high marshall, Morphic, asked for permission to leave with the Liguritudum army. He wanted to aid with the evacuation process. With the protection from the army, the population would have a better chance of crossing through the wilderness.

John preferred losing the low-level population compared to these high-level soldiers, but he knew Jack would never agree to that. Jeanny was there so he couldn't hide this from Jack, so he let the Liguritudum troops go. Jack would be issuing the evacuation command and had Themisphere as the target country. If everything went smoothly, Morphic and the others would join them again in Themisphere.

Hence, the last two armies of the Allied forces separated and went their own way. The once great Allied force had now splintered.

Inside the throne room of Dritzuut palace, Jack had just issued the nationwide evacuation command. Because Liguritudum was Themisphere's vassal state, all the kingdom coffer and mana were transferred to Themisphere when the evacuation command set Themisphere as the destination. The coins and mana weren't that many but they would still help to build the army needed to face the advancing underworld force.

After issuing the evacuation command, Jack had a meeting with Liguritudum officials inside the throne room. They discussed the details of the evacuation. The meeting was kept short due to the urgency of the situation. Jack emphasized for the officials to not delay. People had to start leaving today. He wasn't there when the Allied forces engaged the devils, but he heard from John about what happened. None of the settlements would be able to survive when the underworld force came to their doorstep.

Only after making sure these officials understood the seriousness of the situation that Jack leave. He used the zone portal and teleported back to Themisphere.
