The attack on Rood begins. Spark's team aims for the city center while the free army simultaneously attacks four strongholds around the city, preventing the Marmo army from consolidating. Ashram disobeys the Marmo council and orders Groder to evacuate the wounded onto the ships. Once the city center is secure, Parn and Deedlit head up to the governor's mansion to face Ashram but find only Pirotess. She is able to delay them long enough for Ashram and the Marmo to escape. He realizes that Lodoss will never accept them. As per his duty to look after his people, he leads them out to sea to a safe land once he picks up the others still on Marmo. After Rood has fallen, King Kashue arrives and signs a treaty with Prince Reona uniting all of Lodoss. He then charges Spark to go to Marmo and rescue Neese and prevent Kardis' resurrection. Wagnard begins the ceremony whilst an uneasy Karla decides to ensure the balance of power on Lodoss is maintained.
