The Fights
Zeth is being run by the Four Lords who reside in each of the four towers. When you capture all four towers, the entire Zeth will fall and you automatically gain whatever territory Zeth has remaining. It is ok to capture a tower first and let Zeth take it back, it still counts.

Zeth forces either belong to one of the four armies (Fire, Ice, Thunder, Light), or one of the four towers. Additionally, each of the tower has a separate offensive force and a defensive guard.

Usually each turn only one or two towers send out their offensive force, and only one of the armies attack. However, on occasion all four armies will attack in the same turn, and multiple towers might attack.

All units of the four armies will not die when defeated, and will reappear once they have regenerated enough troops. Each of the armies will also run away when any of their units is hurt badly (or defeated). The only way to defeat the armies for good is to capture their respective bases where they won't run away (or capture all four towers):
 * The Fire Army is based in Adam Stronghold.
 * The Ice Army is based in Tape. However, capturing Tape will also elimate the Fire Army if you haven't defeated it yet.
 * The Light Army is based in Old Zeth.
 * The Thunder Army is based in Amber City.

Initially the four towers will be protected by a magic field, which disallows you to attack it. Two months after you opened war against Zeth, sending two or more units to attack any Zeth territory will cause all units to be eliminated (except for Miki who won't die). Afterwards if you have Ganji as your captain, you will be able to directly attack the four towers. Otherwise, visiting Ho Raga's Tower, the Palace Island, or the Magic Research Building will allow you to obtain the Field-Piercing Sword. As long as one of the captains you send in is equpped with that sword, your army may attack the towers.

The lords themselves will not die even if you defeat them in combat. You will have to defeat all the forces defending the tower in order to capture it.
