Jessica, Lester, Elwin and the rest of the party are forced to retreat across the river to safety. However, platoons from the Ice Dragon Army and the Black Dragon Socerers waiting for them, preventing the group's retreat.

After fighting through the imperial squadrons, Lester, Elwin and the rest of his companions manage to escape the blaze. The party has little choice but to follow Egbert to Reitel.
