After a three-day long battle however, Muozinel Army did not approach towards Olmutz Army but it doesn't ease Mila's suspicions. The next day, Mila's suspicions is confirmed as she learns from her messenger that Muozinel Army has already slipped into Agnes behind Olmutz Army's knowledge, much to her frustration. To make things even more complicated, Lavias emits its light so bright that prompts Mila to assume a demonic presence is lurking somewhere away her post.

Sadly, the alliance is short-lived when the Earl was betrayed by Greast as the latter launching an attack onto his territory and have his army cornered. As the result, combined with Greast's offer and warning most Cotillard Army's soldiers joins Greast and his men after their lord's demise, establishing a new Greast Army. After briefing with his new army to attack an exhausted Moonlight Knights and ridding off Tigre and Regin, Greast mutters he vow to capture Elen.

Moonlight Knights's First Defeat
After their victory in Prowirl Plains, the Moonlight Knights bid their farewell to Asvarre Army and heading for Nice to deliver the good news. During their break however, 6,000 men and 3,000 horses are become sick after drinking the poisoned river, prompting Mashas concludes to be a work from Cotilard Army. Coincidentally, Tigre and Mashas also confronting Antiga Army who suspiciously volunteering themselves in aiding the now crippling Moonlight Knights against the same enemy. Despite their suspicions, Tigre and Mashas agree in having the Antiga Army joining their ranks and facing

The showdown between the the Moonlight Knights and the Cotilard Army begins where the former attempts to retake the uncontaminated water supply. In the course of the battle however, Antiga Army betrays the Moonlight Knights as their archers firing the flame arrows at their former allies, causing a collapse within the Coalition Army's ranks as they are cornered by two enemy armies. Elen, in order to save her allies, tries to hold off the enemies by herself while ordering Lim to take command and cover their allies' escape on her behalf. Sadly, fatigue and poisoning (from both river waters and enemy weapons) eventually wearing Elen out and she is subsequently surrounded and being captured by enemy forces. In order to survive, all the Moonlight Knights could do is retreat back to Nice three days later. Worrying about Elen's uncertain fate, Tigre had to leave the Moonlights Knights and rushes to save Elen alone, making Mashas and Lim as unofficial commanders of the now disorganized Moonlight Knights.

Elen's Imprisonment and Torment
Sometime later, Elen wakes up and finds herself being tied up by the chains at her barracks. She tries to summon Arifar but to no avail, immediately prompts her to realize that she is tied by the Magical Chains, the same chains that protected the Dragons during her battles at Vincennes Plains two years ago. Even worse, Elen is stunned to see her captor is none other than Greast who is delighted to see her again while harassing her by groping and even licking her body (except her lips) against her will, much to Elen's disgust but unable to shake him off. Seeing Elen as a virgin while being impressed by her strong will, Greast smirks as if "good fortune" favors him while looking forward to make her as his "possession"  , and reminds that he will be visiting her daily. After seeing Greast's departure, Elen begin to worry her situation but all she could do is wait for Tigre's and Lim's rescue and embraces her torture for days to come.

Mashas' Audience with Regin
In Nice, Mashas is having an audience with Regin and reporting the Moonlight Knights' defeat, much to everyone's (especially Regin) shock and confusion. Regin demands Mashas to explain his report despite its massive numbers and ferocity against Sachstein Army's might, which Mashas complies by retelling everything: from the poisonous rivers to Antiga Army's betrayal that led to Elen's subsequent capture and Tigre's disappearance. Initially feeling angry and worry, Regin continues to listen to Mashas's further report until he mentions Cotillard's and Antiga's (allegedly) allegiance with the returning Greast, which shaken the entire crowd as everyone is panicking while gossiping before being silenced by Badouin. Regin then asks Mashas if the Moonlight Knights is capable to defeat Greats which Mashas replies that the former Marquis is an opponent they cannot afford to underestimate due to his cunning in warfare. Declaring Greast and his newfound army as the "Enemy of Brune", Regin orders the Moonlight Knights to stay in Brune for recuperation while orders Badouin to deploy messengers respectively to Lutetia and Evreux in order to investigate Greast's motives. The audience is then dismissed after Mashas receiving praises for Moonlight Knights' victory over the Sachstein Army.

Discussion of Rescuing Elen and Lumiere's Real Background
Afterwards, Mashas and others (Lim, Tina, Hughes and Badouin) enter into a prepared guest room where they discussing Tigre's disappearance. Mashas ensures them that Tigre will be alright but cannot dispel his concerns towards the other aristocrats' "reactions"  to the Moonlight Knights' defeat. When everyone talks about Greast that angers Lim who then being calmed by Tina and Badouin, Hughes asks the girls about a plan in rescuing Elen but their (Lim and Tina) only conclusion is to rely on Tigre for now. The meeting proceeds as Hughes asks Tina about Ganelon's unexpected return who she reveals to be a demon, much to everyone's shock as they claim they heard about them through legends and lore. Hughes further asks if she knew Ganelon's real identity but Tina denies-as she claims she knew this "recently" - and revealing his goals in stealing Black Bow from Tigre due to its supernatural attributes that shares with the Vanadises' Viralts. This prompts Mashas to suggest to defeat Greast Army quickly before they could reach either Lutetia or Evreux. At the same time however Tina informs everyone that she and Osterode Army will be leaving Brune to Zhcted by the next morning since her mission in Brune is complete. Even under everyone pleas her stay to stay and aid, her decision stands and requests Badouin a boarder pass which the Prime Minister reluctantly complies.

As the meeting adjourns, only Mashas and Badouin remain in the guest room. There, Badouin tells Mashas that Tigre is needed to be the King of Brune through an arranged marriage with Regin as fast as possible in order to stabilize the chaotic kingdom. When Mashas asks him why, Badouin explains the real background behind Lumiere's prestigious tittle, indicating Tigre's chances as the crown's possible heir. Even realizing Badouin's intentions, Mashas rejects his friend's request out of his honor of Urs while also trying to respect Tigre's decision regardless his choice. Badouin understands Mashas's answer and replies that he will seek his help again once he is able to persuade Tigre. Suddenly, a minister reports to Mashas and Badouin about an Muozinel Army's incoming invasion.

Limalisha's Worry
In her guest room, Lim is taking her break from her work under Mashas's suggestion. Despite under pressure from her fellow Leitmeritz soldiers such as Rurick and Aram in rescuing Elen immediately, self-doubt and hesitations become too much even for Lim as she lamenting for unable to save her friend from danger. Suddenly, Titta visits Lim and presents her two teddy bears to ease her uneasiness: one pocket size and one a small size teddy bear. In addition, Titta also tells Lim to believe in both Tigre and Elen while also worrying that the Royal Palace become even busier than before, especially when she and Regin are rarely talking to each other nowadays. Nonetheless, Lim reassures Titta that she will continue her conversation with Regin and others even when the Royal Palace is remain busy. As Titta thanking Lim for her encouragement and leaves, Lim trying to give a name to her teddy bear and hoping Elen's safe return.

Regin's Faith in Tigre
Regin meanwhile commenting Brune's further complications when learning Muozinel Army's incoming invasion while dealing with Greast Army, prompts her to think her kingdom's instability still persists even after they suppressed Melisande's Uprising and repelled Sachstein Invasion. While she is thinking a counterattack against their enemy, Regin asks Badouin about Tigre and quickly become relief after hearing that it was part of Mashas' idea. As she assuming that Tina is actually try to help by cornering Greast Army in Lutetia without interfering Tigre's rescue mission, Badouin suspects the Void Vanadis might have contacted with Greast. However, Regin denies this possibility and tell him to at least have faith in Tigre. After obtaining a pass, Badouin then asks Regin about her motivation in making such daring decision, to which Regin smiles and replies that because she believes in Tigre, opts the Prime Minister to understand the weight of her words before exits from her office.

Second Encounter with Vodyanoy
Back in Brune's forest, Tigre- who is still observing at Greast Army's camp despite his earlier humiliation-is eating his light breakfast before hiding from an upcoming rain.

Instead, Tigre tries to flee away from Vodyanoy because he needs more power to defeat the Frog Demon, only to slip from the mud, fall towards to a tree while being injured from the Frog Demon's attacks before he could even shoot at him. Tigre's weaken state brings disappointment to Vodyanoy and opting the latter to break one of Tigre's arms.

Just as he is about to do so however, Mila arrives just in time and Tigre whilst asking Vodyanoy some questions, to which the Frog demon denies and they clash for more than thirty rounds. Even after cutting off his tongue, Mila is becoming exhausted yet unable to defeat Vodyanoy. Against her fatigue, she tries to freeze him only to be attacked and subjugated by his cut tongue. Tigre gets up and aiming his shot not towards Vodyanoy but his cut tongue that wrapping Mila, seemly injuring the Frog demon and freeing Mila from his clutches. Combined with their teamwork and the Blizzard Arrow, Tigre and Mila eventually defeat Vodyanoy and force him to retreat again, though they know better that the Frog Demon is still alive. Nevertheless, both Mila and Tigre then leave to a nearby river for their break.

Demons' Unholy Alliance
Vodyanoy meanwhile laying at a field whilst confronting Ganelon whom he assuming come to consume him shortly after his defeat, only ends up trading taunts against each other. Drekavac arrives to pacify the two and offers Ganelon an unlikely alliance for one reason: summoning Tir Na Fal into the human realm. Intrigued by this offer, Ganelon accepts and leaves. Drekavac then asks Vodyanoy about Tigre and Mila who are reportedly to be stronger than their first encounter, as well Durandal's location in Ganelon's hands secretly. Nevertheless, with the news about Muozinel Army closing in, both demons then anticipating the recurring events and leave the plains without a trace.

Mila's Consultation to Tigre
Mila and Tigre manage to reach to a nearby river as the rain stops.

Whilst bathing and remarking her envy towards the people of Brune, Mila teasing Tigre that he is next to take his bath only to be increasingly irritated by his soulless response. She confronts and snaps Tigre out by using Lavias to unleash an ice wave that passing through his face, opting him to questioning her sudden hostility. In spite hearing Mila's explanation about the Vanadises's resolution in embracing their fate even in death or humiliation, Tigre still blaming himself for Elen's capture. Mila replies and even though she is genuinely understands his bond with Elen, she tells him to stop sulking since doing so will not getting him anywhere regardless his effort. A moment of silence later, Tigre thanks Mila for her advice and taking a bath himself under her suggestion.

Muozinel Army's Conquest of Southern Brune
In Southern Brune, Muozinel Army arrives and subjugates Nemetacum and its surrounding territories by enslaving anyone as their army's war slaves, but they do spare some who surrendered and these territories will be served as their supply base. Despite the subjugation's success however, Kureys claims the outcome to be less challenging and boring, much to the generals' shock. Later, three mayors from Brune's captured territories (namely Lamer, Agde and Massilia) then visit Kureys to seek his affiliation but their request are denied and they (including their family relatives) are enslaved as war slaves for their march to Nice. Meanwhile, Damad and his 2,000 cavalry soldiers are marching towards Brune's further west where they witness the nearby towns' and villages' destruction by Sachstein Army and Greast Army, garners his some shed of sympathy. During the expedition, Damad is shocked to learn from his adjutant's report about the Moonlight Knights' defeat and Tigre's disappearance but he suspects the latter as stubborn as a dessert fox.

Rescuing Elen from Greast
As much as she is shocked to learn about Muozinel Army's arrival after their subjugation of Southern Brune, as well as incoming Moonlight Knights and Osterode Army for Lutetia, Greast insists on marching towards Montour as scheduled whilst planning on ensuring nobody will take Elen away. So in the following dusk, Greast Army halts their advance and camp at a nearby hill. As night time comes, Tigre and Mila manage to sneak into Greast Army's camp without enemy soldiers' detection whilst avoiding traps until they reach the barrack where Elen was imprisoned. However despite this, their cover is blown by one of Greast's soldiers who quickly alert everyone about the two intruders.

The duo eventually find an exhausted Elen who is glad to see Tigre again. Mila tries to free Elen from the chains with Lavias but the chains remains unbreakable that prompts her recalling her the same chains that held them back at Vincennes Plains two years ago. This forces Mila to break the pillar instead that frees Elen, while Tigre embraces Elen. However, Greast and his soldiers interrupt the trio's reunion but during the skirmish, Great's right hand is impaled by Tigre's arrow while Mila fights off against the soldiers. Still, not even his injuries stops Greast from preventing Tigre taking Elen away from him by attempting to make her as making her as hostage, only to see his right hand being cut off by a scornful Elen with her returning Arifar. Without wasting any time, Tigre and Mila had to create a diversion by causing chaos within Greast Army by burning the camps while killing anyone who stand in their way. Given the chaotic situation at Greast Army's camp, the trio manage to escape from the enemy camp.

Afterwards, the trio have to hide inside the meadows to avoid their pursuers and rest at the nearby woods in a day. The two then planning on heading east then south from this direction. At the same time, Tigre is relief to see his ten-days worth of search for Elen finally pays off. Greast meanwhile recuperating his wounds at the ruined camp while cursing Tigre for "stealing" Elen from him, further vows to retake Elen by defeating the Moonlight Knights once and for all at Montour Plains.

Return of the Moonlight Knights' Commanders
The next morning, the trio continue their escape while stumble (hiddenly) upon 2,000 Muozinel scout soldiers.

At the Moonlight Knights' camp, everyone especially Titta and Lim are glad and relief to see Tigre's and Elen's return alongside with Gaspar and his cavalry soldiers. As Mashas walks to the duo and urges them to take a break, Tigre tells his mentor that he knew the secret behind Greast Army's victory against the Moonlight Knights from their first battle. As Mashas tells everyone that they need Valentina's and Osterode Army's cooperation to defeat Greast Army, Elen, Mila and Lim initially against the idea out of their distrust towards the Void Vanadis for her unknown agenda, despite Tigre claims that she did not endanger the Moonlight Knights once. Regardless, Mashas suggest to at least send a message about Elen's return to Osterode Army that stationed at Lutetia, which the four (Tigre and the girls) reluctantly complies.

When Greast Army's Left Wing Unit is attacking Moonlight Knights' Right Wing Unit, Elen and Mila then lead Leitmeritz Army's charge onto the enemy lines. While the Vanadises easily crush some enemy soldiers, Leitmeritz Army-who are motivated by rage and desire of vengeance upon Greast for his humiliation inflicted onto her-viciously annihilate Greast Army's right wing unit in spite the enemy army's changed tactics. Away from battle, Greast, in an attempt to recapture Elen, remain calm (though he can't hide his shock) even after witnessing his army's near annihilation until his messenger reports that his army's rear unit is decimated by an incoming Osterode Army; forcing him to flee from battle alone. Abandoned by their commander while facing the ferocious Moonlight Knights' attacks from all directions, Greast Army is totally defeated.

Greast's Downfall and Execution
Elsewhere, Greast makes his escape until he stumbles upon Tina and Osterode Army. To his surprise, however, Tina instead demands him to tell her Ruslan's whereabouts which Greast relents after noticing her ambitious eyes. Later, he rushes to Vernon's Mansion so he can stay there and loses the Moonlight Knights' pursue. Whilst having a break and dining a meal with Vernon, Greast tells him that he will reward Lutetia and Earl Cotillard's former territory to him once they take over Lutetia before going to sleep. When he is awaken, however, Greast finds himself being tied to a chair and confront a man named Denis, Vernon's younger brother who went exile after being framed for a "rebellion" against his elder brother. As Greast asks him about Vernon, Denis throws his brother's head to him and begins his torture upon Greast by forcing the former Marquis to don the Armor of Fire-an execution device that Greast used to torture his father to death. Inflicted with excruciating pain from the armor's greave to helmet, Greast has finally perished from his execution.

Denis and his friends then rush for the Moonlight Knights' camp and show Tigre and Mashas the decapitated heads of Greast and Vernon. After hearing the truth from Denis, Mashas invites him to Nice so he can explain that truth to Regin which the latter accepts for the sake of his father and friends. Tigre and Mashas are discussing the fate of Greast Army's remnant soldiers after their former leader's demise, which Tigre initially suggests the soldiers to be executed for their atrocities.

 * Mila is the first Vanadis to disobey direct order from King Viktor that was assigned to keep Muozinel in check by riding off to Brune and abandoning her post on Fort Fordney, though Lavias doesn't displays any signs of disqualification against her as the only Viralt will decide the Vanadis's fate. Instead Mila's Viralt guides her to the most threatened situation which in this case, demons.
 * This will also foreshadow other Vanadis's actions in the future arcs regard to the top priority either it was Tigre, King Viktor or his successor.
 * While guided to Brune, this will also foreshadow the connection between Black Bow and Viralts further include The King of Magic Bullet Legend that will be further explained.

 * Elen's personal vulnerability and mental breakdown are shown where she is severely traumatized from her experience as Greast's prisoner despite being rescued by Tigre and Mila. This is yet another time where she was mentally broken since the lost of her two important figures (Tigre's disappearance and Sasha's death). Fortunately, only Tigre's comfort and confession able to ease her personal insecurities.
 * In fact, her very own imprisonment under Greast prompts Elen to understand Tigre's hardship and his reason to be merciful even to his enemies. It will further makes her know about Tigre even more that has yet to be told.
 * Damad, the leader of Muozinel Army's scout unit that observing the battle from afar, is planning to capture any surviving solders from the decimated Greast Army as slaves for the invading army, and his report about Tigre and the Moonlight Knights that will fuel Kurey's motivation to clash with his young rival again which will happened in Muozinel Second Invasion.

 * Tigre's achievements, merits, relationships with Vanadis, ministers and Monarch, title "Knight of the Moonlight" even pressure from ministers and monarch (Regin and Viktor) is the main cause that Badouin wants Tigre to be the next King of Brune itself which Tigre will not be able to deny the demand later even he is not willing to become King. Another major reason is Tigre currently has two main rivals from other nations that admits Tigre as a very valuable commander, Tallard Graham from Asvarre that wishes to avoid fighting Tigre due to his achievements at Asvarre and Kureys Shahim Balamir that bestow Tigre the title of Silvrash and worthy Commander that eagers to fight him another day.

 * With Brune Western Border abandoned under a pact between Tallard and Tigre during the Battle on Prowirl where Tallard utilized Brune's soils to attack Sachstein from the North, Brune's western region will be safe for a time being due to Sachstein being occupied by Asvarre on Sachstein-Asvarre Campaign.
 * Navarre Knights will make their debut for the first time on the war against Muozinel by joining Moonlight Knights with Olivier as their commander.
 * Unlike in a battle in Ormea Hills where Mila utilized the slave as a decoy to the Muozinel Army's siege to their "headquarters", Kureys would attempt to use the captured slaves as human shield during their invasion towards Nice.
