 However, I'm not sure if the WF will as I suspect that since Salem already seems to have an operative fairly high up in the command system of the Kingdom that the Kingdom as a whole may very well remain unscathed. The city might fall at some point next volume, or even the following volume. Right now, I feel that Salem's goal might be to replace Mistral's current leaders, besides Lionheart, with puppets that Salem manipulates into finding the Relic for her; instead of searching the ruins of the city/Kingdom afterwards. After all, Mistral is the largest of the four Kingdoms which means the Relic could be anywhere in Anima. Controlling the people in charge makes it easier for Salem to cast a wider search net.

Come to think of it, we know that the Relics are hidden in the academies, but we don't know if Salem knows that. Though, even if she didn't initially, she may have figured it out. After all, she did tell the Seer that she believes Vale's Relic is in Beacon somewhere.
