Chapter 494: Changes
After Mwu, El-Elf, and the others left, they were gone for nearly a month. When they departed the Moon's neutral zone, they landed safely on Earth without suffering any attacks along the way. Their target was the former territory of Jior, but after landing, they encountered fierce resistance from the Dolcia Military State. The Galaxy Diva fought its way through—no, steamrolled—the Dolcia Military State's defensive lines across the former Jior territory, tearing a huge gap through them and ultimately retaking a city near the coast.
The Galaxy Diva remained in that city for two or three days, gathering intelligence and materials, while also compiling statistics on specialized personnel and equipment that would be useful to New Jior. Those would be handed over to the allies arriving later, who would help transport them into Module 77.

They also sent ships to the city retaken by the Galaxy Diva, calmly beginning to transport the supplies and personnel listed in El-Elf's inventory. At the same time, they began establishing new defensive lines throughout the city, turning it into the first strategic foothold for the counteroffensive to reclaim the former Jior territory.
Even ARUS raised the banner of aiding Jior and began deploying troops toward the former Jior territory. For a time, the retaken city became a military fortress. Members of the Neutral Countries, ARUS, and even the Royalist Faction of the Dolcia Military State occasionally appeared there, delivering intelligence from other directions.
