Hey I figured I'd give you a bit of info, because in the last post by Greiger with Penance, he asks Alexis what he's heard from Valkaria. Since it's possible he teleported a bit after the rest of the group, he should have a bit of the updated story.
Valkarian forces have temporarily pushed all of Darkrai's forces from Gold City. The fight goes on but they're holding for now, with one Network Point remaining active under Valkarian control. However, it was also rumored that attacks have begun on the other cities in Valkaria as well.
