An hour later, Alex and his army moved southwards.
Nessia, Vaan, Renard, Fran, Latifa, and Evangeline accompanied him on this campaign. The rest were left in the castle to defend Everdawn City from an invasion by the people of Reverse Arcana.
According to Alex's estimate, it would take them two days to reach their destination. After all, moving with an army numbering a little over ten thousand wasn't easy.
Any less wasn't an option, for they would need that many fighters in order to face off against the Ant Army under Charles' control.
It would not be an easy battle, especially since their purpose was not to eliminate Charles, but to subjugate him.
Alex still didn't know how they could free their friend from the influence of the Synchronization Rate. But they had to do something, no matter what.
As the army rode out of the city, Chuck, Astrea, Lapiz, and Aeris watched from the balcony of the castle.
