Book II

Nearly several hours after being attacked, Martin and the six other senators discover the hidden truth of the Order and the name of the person who founded the Order and where the Order is located. In the Capital City, Lydia is plotting a way of destroying the entire Order once and for all. She begins to send her army across the entire Republic to "secure and unite" them, she also sends her armies to every city on Earth to do the same.
By the time Martin and his team discover and rescue the other members of the Order, Duchess Paulien den Oude told Martin that Lydia has sent several ships to Thaunus, and told him Lydia was using a ship that has a weapon that's capable of destroying an entire planet.
