"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
When Iron Axe heard the news, a rare look of surprise appeared on his face. He exchanged a glance with Edith, and both of them could see the shock in each other's eyes.
In fact, Tilly was also quite hesitant to report this discovery to the First Army's commander without knowing the truth. After all, this was almost a miracle. If the demons could really achieve this, it would inevitably have a negative impact on the morale and confidence of the higher-ups, and it would not be surprising for those who were not strong-willed to want to surrender.
"You're absolutely right, coo." Maggie patted her chest and said, "Lightning and I have been to the ridge of the continent, and there's no mountain of this shape there, coo!"
Lightning then nodded slowly. "We can't say for sure whether it's something created by the demons or not, but at least one thing is for sure, it appeared there in the last half a month."
"I see …" Edith said thoughtfully, "Now it makes sense."
"You believe it?" Tilly was greatly surprised.
She had thought that Edith would need some time to digest this information and then arrange the next observation operation to confirm it. Unexpectedly, the Pearl of the Northern Region seemed to have accepted their explanation. After all, even the three of them who had seen it with their own eyes had spent a lot of effort to reach a consensus that it was not an illusion.
"If you want to blame someone, blame Roland," Edith said with a sigh. "If it were three years ago, I would have probably regarded this as the ravings of a madman … But now, no matter what happens, I don't think it's impossible. If we stay in a small place like before, we won't be able to realize that the world has undergone earth-shaking changes. "
"Besides, the demons' illogical actions are equivalent to confirming this." She paused for a moment and briefly described the information obtained by Hill Fawkes. "A noble's city can't accommodate so many people, but a floating island may not be able to do so."
"The demons … accommodate humans?" Lightning said in surprise.
"This is not unprecedented. Didn't Agatha say that during the first Battle of Divine Will, some humans formed an 'alliance' with the demons to fight against witches." Edith shrugged carelessly. "At that time, they were afraid of the power of witches, but now they're just afraid of the power of His Majesty. They're not willing to accept the change, nor are they willing to be part of the change, so there's only a limit to what they can do. "
"They didn't take the warning of the Battle of Divine Will seriously …" Tilly could not help but clench her fists.
"No …" Edith revealed a strange smile. "Even if the nobles know it's true, they may still make the same decision. The end of the war could be years or decades later, but His Majesty's abolition of the power of the nobles and the recovery of the feudal lands was happening now. For some people, this is no different from taking their lives. One is to die immediately, the other is to die later. Of course, the latter is better. "
"Enough," Iron Axe interrupted reluctantly. He knew that once the Pearl of the Northern Region entered her taunting mode, she would not easily stop, and it was very easy for her to accidentally hurt others, or even himself. Edith's expression had returned. Edith 'Edith, Edith' Edith.
Edith's expression returned to normal. "No, we can't. It's fine if it's just staying at the ridge of the continent, but if it really moved from somewhere else, we'll be in deep trouble. For Her Highness Tilly to be able to observe it from hundreds of kilometers away, its size is probably beyond our imagination. Do you think that the Fire of Heaven alone can destroy a corner of the Impassable Mountain Range? "
"We have to inform Brother of this as soon as possible." Tilly said solemnly.
"I think so too." Edith nodded. "This has nothing to do with stratagems or strategies. The only one who can come up with a solution is His Majesty."
"It's a pity that the new communication tower is still under construction. Otherwise, according to the installer, this thing would allow us to immediately communicate with His Majesty." Iron Axe walked to his desk and began writing a letter. "No matter what, let's use the flying messenger to send the news back first."
"There's no need, I'll make the trip." Tilly stood up. "With the Phoenix's speed, we can set off tomorrow morning and reach Neverwinter by noon. That's faster than any messenger. Also … I want to thank him for his new gift. "
With that, she looked at Lightning and Maggie. "I'll leave the investigation west of the Impassable Mountain Range to the two of you."
"Leave it to us." The two of them replied seriously.
…
The next day, Tilly piloted the Phoenix and set off alone. She first headed east towards the sea before following the coastline south. In less than four hours, she landed in the Royal Capital Aerial Knight Academy.
On this day, many people witnessed the red meteor streaking across the sky.
After she jumped off the plane, she ran all the way and rushed into the castle. Seeing her flying gray hair, none of the guards dared to stop her.
Pushing open the office door, Roland blinked in surprise. He did not expect her to appear at this time.
"Uh … is there a problem with the new plane?"
Tilly stopped in her tracks and suddenly felt a little guilty. Did I push him too hard? That's why he asked about the situation of the plane as soon as he opened his mouth? "No, it's a private plane … I mean, the Phoenix is better than I expected. That … thank you, Brother."
"Phew." Roland heaved a sigh of relief, but his expression quickly turned solemn. "Then you're back because … you have important information?"
"That's right. When I was testing the Phoenix, I accidentally discovered the demons' movements." Tilly recounted the trio's experience in detail.
Roland could not help but frown after listening. For an object to be seen from a distance, other than the fact that there was nothing obstructing the path of light, the other factor was its size, such as the moon and stars overhead. Hundreds of kilometers away, the Impassable Mountain Range was just a thick meandering line, and the ridge of the continent was just a gray "hill". For it to be seen from such a distance, it was definitely not small.
The demons already had the ability to move such a large piece of land into the sky?
It was something that even modern technology could not achieve.
If it was truly a solid piece of land, the lethality of any existing weapons would be greatly reduced. This was determined by physical properties. To be able to float such a huge weight meant that it possessed astonishing energy.
Magic power is really unreasonable …
But Roland had deeply understood this point when he first met Anna. The urgent matter at hand was to further investigate the gigantic object.
He thought of an excellent candidate.
Entering the dream world, Roland took out his phone and dialed Valkries's number.
