The Silver Meteor Storm regroups at the fortress of Peruce and Vanadis Valentina Glinka Estes watches Tigre as he sleeps. During a meeting, Bertrand summons Regin who explains that she is the daughter of King Faron and posed as Prince Regnas because, as a female, her chances of inheriting the throne were low. Furthermore, she was attacked by assassins the night before the Battle of Dinant and faked her death. Without any other proof of her bloodline, she can only prove her birthright as the King's daughter in the Sacred Caverns located in Artesium, Duke Ganelon's capital. Thenardier receives five dragons from Drekavac and, after eliminating Ganelon's forces in the capital, moves to intercept the Silver Meteor Storm. In Artesium, Ganelon does not act to save his men and sets fire to the city before fleeing. In Silesia, King Viktor dispatches Sofy to Brune as a messenger. The Silver Meteor Storm of 20,000 clashes with Thenardier's army of 24,000 on the plain of Villecreunes. Elen and Mila face the dragons and with their combined power they kill the three Earth Dragons, but the Fire-Breathing Dragon and the Two-Headed Dragon, armed with magical chains, remain unscathed and Elen is injured while saving Mila. The armies reorganize, and the war maidens decide to face the dragons by themselves, while Tigre and the rest of the army take care of Thenardier. The Silver Meteor Storm drives into the enemy while the Vanadis work together to kill the remaining dragons.
