While Thirteen was resting, the Jinns held a conference through their communicators.
They had initially underestimated the Wanderers, but after the brutal battle that lasted for nearly a day, they understood they weren't soft persimmons whom they could crush just because they had Rank 9 Sovereigns on their side.
What happened to the Garuda Faction had elevated Zion's image to the Jinns, significantly raising their wariness toward the teenage boy who had come to the Summit of Conquerors to laugh at them.
'It's a good thing I listened to my sister and headed northwest instead of going to the southwest,' Prince Valen thought. 'We might have suffered the same fate as the Garuda Faction, which will be a big blow to our army's morale.'
What the Prince didn't know was that Thirteen had worked behind the scenes, making House Pavareth, the Azrakith Court, the Velmoria Kingdom, and the Skavari form a single faction and march north, where the Wanderers' defenses were weakest.
