"We can't guarantee that those things won't chase us in... they'll make a hole, check the weapons first!!"
"Check your ass..."
Frick, who had already taken off most of his armor, muttered something under his breath when he heard this.
None of the weapons the patrols carried were capable of harming the emperor worms.
They had no means to defeat it, and if they encountered it again they would only wait for death.
After removing the last fixing plate, Frick jumped out of the armor, stretched his body, and finally felt refreshed.
It's too hot to be stuck in armor in the summer.
Their armor has been severely deformed and they are unable to exert their combat power at all. Taking it off is the best option.
"How's Hart?"
He walked to the other side to check on his companion.
"not so good……"
Knight Hart was lying on the ground, and the knights were also helping him take off his armor.
But his face was very pale, because he was unlucky and had broken his right hand and several ribs.
"teacher!"
At the edge of the team, Leah, with tears in her eyes, helped Willensel lie down gently.
"Hold on, teacher! I will definitely take you back to school!"
"I probably won't be able to wait until then..."
Willensel breathed softly and forced a smile on his face.
At his age, he sees things more clearly than anyone else.
As for his injury, although the bleeding has stopped after a simple bandage and those people also applied ointment on him, but in this climate and environment... his chances of survival are really slim.
"I'm glad you're okay... Leah."
"Your father is still waiting for you. You must go back... and go back safely."
"teacher!!!"
"Don't cry." Weilencel gently touched her hand, "Go call Smail... and the detective over... I have something to tell them."
Leah shook her head.
Wei Lunsel was very determined and threatened to stop taking the medicine, forcing the girl to bring people over.
"Professor, you're looking for us?"
Hitzfeld, Xia Yibing, Darent, Smail... several key members of the team came over.
They all realized that what Willensel was about to say might be important.
"You must be curious about where this place is."
Willensel asked Leah to help him sit up and looked up at the group of people.
"Hitzfeld, do you remember in the tavern...we talked about ruins under the red soil?"
"Remember." The girl's eyebrows twitched.
“Could this be the relic?”
"I am not sure."
Willensel shook his head slowly.
"But this huge cavity... it couldn't have been dug by a worm."
"Bugs don't need to be this big, so this is where they originally were... The bugs settled here after they discovered it..."
His voice was intermittent and his ability to express himself was much weakened.
But I can understand it.
That's enough of the situation.
"Bugs don't need to live in such a large place, so they didn't dig it. That means this place has existed from the beginning. There may be ancient ruins here?"
Darente saw that he was having trouble speaking, so he took the initiative to help him expand on his meaning.
Willensel nodded slightly.
"I have read some ancient books. They record... the myths and legends of the Sun King."
"One of the articles mentioned red soil, saying that... red soil originally had a name, called Sos Plateau."
Sos Plateau...
Hitzfeld looked at Xia Yibing first.
The woman shook her head slowly at her.
She hadn't heard of that.
"According to the article... the Sos Plateau... had experienced a war."
Willensel was panting more and more heavily.
"If the records are true... then there must be... the remains of an ancient city here..."
"It is called the Lost City..."
"Sos Fortress..."

Chapter 57: Kak's Discovery Two-in-One
According to Willensel, the Northwest Plains was called the Sos Plateau before it got its current name, and in even more ancient times, there once stood a majestic city on the Sos Plateau, called Sos Fortress.
Xia Yibing had read the most information among all the people present. She was the first to question this statement: "I don't think it is necessary for Guserlan to build a fortress here."
She came to this conclusion based on the information she had, because the ancient books discovered so far recorded the approximate territory of the Seran Dynasty. The Northwest Plains was located in the central and western part of the Seran border at that time, and there were no enemies on all sides.
There are no enemies and no threat from worms on the plains, so there is naturally no need to build a fortress here.
"There was no gray fog at that time." She lowered her voice and frowned at Willensel. "Could it be that you remembered it wrongly... It was just the city of Sos or Sols, Sosser, or something like that... It was just a simple name?"
"I also think it's unlikely." Smail also frowned.
Unlike women who rely on information to make inferences, he thinks this way purely out of trusting his own experience.
This is experience in fighting wars - judging from the terrain of the entire plain area to the Onsayin diocese, the most suitable location for building a city is in Onsayin.
That is the gap in the canyon. After passing the gap, the altitude will drop sharply, just like when Hitzfeld came down in the airship, he saw a hanging waterfall behind Onseen. Counting back from the gap is Bro Canyon.
So…the plateau, the canyon gap, and the middle of the canyon.
People in the past did not choose the gap to build city fortresses. Did they have to choose the plateau?
They must be mentally ill.
"That's not how it's calculated!" Before Willensel could even open his mouth, Leah hurriedly explained, "You're ignoring the changes brought about by the movement of the earth's crust."
"Crustal movement..." Darent frowned fiercely, "You mean the ruins that may exist here... It was originally at the gap, but the crustal movement moved it here..."
"No!" Leah shook her head quickly, "It's not that simple!!"
"Then you should explain it clearly. What kind of exercise is this?"
Leah opened her mouth and looked hesitant.
She first looked at Wei Lunsel and found that he nodded slightly. It was as if she had let go of some burden: "Okay... Then I will tell you the greatest research and discovery we have made in these years."
"That's Burro Canyon, it didn't exist before."
What is she saying! ?
Hitzfeld opened his mouth and quickly glanced at the other people's faces, and found that they also looked shocked.
"Please tell me more details." Smail lowered his voice. "We are safe for now. Go on. Why doesn't Buluo Canyon exist?"
"I'm not saying it doesn't exist at all." Leah shook her head and stammered, "This... I... I mean that part of it existed originally, but it shouldn't be so long and so deep. Some external force changed it and extended it more than twice!"
"Pfft!" Frick and Darent laughed out loud almost at the same time. Frick stood there and shook his head: "So it must be the gods standing in the sky and slashing in this direction, causing this change in the canyon."
This was a cold joke, and many people who gathered around laughed after hearing it.
It can be considered as finding joy in suffering.
But Leah's expression was very serious. She stared at Frick with great dissatisfaction and said word by word: "That may be the case."
The laughter around became more intense.
"Leah." Even Smail was stroking his nose awkwardly. "I know you are professionals. You may have investigated something special from your perspective that we don't quite understand, but you have to know that that kind of power cannot exist in the world."
"But it exists!" Leah said with her neck stiff. "We have been investigating for seven years...! From the origin of the canyon, from Barvik to Onsin! We even went to Nanxinze and walked along the ridge there in a straight line!"
"So what exactly did you find out?" Hitzfeld asked her.
"Soil and rock formations!" Leah turned to look at her. "There are many places... I mean, there are many places that seem flawless, such as a hill, a depression or a forest. You can't tell from the outside that there are no problems with them. But if you observe carefully and constantly take samples of soil at regular intervals for careful examination, you will find that they are different! They shouldn't be like that!"
"Different ingredients?" Xia Yibing asked, "So the land that looks like it's all together actually has different ingredients underground?"
"Yes!"
"So you think they originally belonged to two different terrains or... places, and some huge... change, a power close to that of a god, bumped them together out of thin air, and eventually formed that terrain?"
"Yes!!"
"I roughly understand." Xia Yibing nodded and then slowly shook her head, "But I don't quite understand how this has anything to do with our current situation..."
"Do you have a map?" Leia stretched out a hand and looked at the crowd with shining eyes.
"I have it!" A knight with a sloppy appearance and a mud-covered face raised his hand and took out a stack of crumpled parchment from his arms.
I don't know how long this thing has been in his arms, and when he took it out, it smelled strange.
Leia didn't bother to think about it. She took the map, squatted down, and spread it out on the ground.
The others came closer and watched her point her finger at the southernmost part of Sara, west of the harbor of Nanxinze.
"This is the southernmost part of Burro Canyon," said Leah.
Then the finger began to draw a line, and they saw that it drew an almost straight line, with the mark of the nail bisecting the entire map like cutting a cake.
“This is the exact distance we’re investigating,” she said, pointing to the line. “It’s perfectly straight! It does have some breaks in the middle… but for the most part, the soil composition is different on either side of the line.”
Hitzfeld frowned and snapped his fingers.
She almost knew what Leah meant.
It is normal for crustal movement to cause changes in terrain. It happens everywhere and it is not surprising.
But this line is too straight, so straight that it doesn’t seem like a work of nature, but rather like something intelligent had really cut it... This is really the best description.
"I don't know what this is."
As she spoke, Leah's body trembled with excitement. "But this thing - it forcibly changed the terrain of this area. Hundreds of years ago, the Burro Canyon might have been just a small crack... but it was forcibly split and expanded by this impact! It continued to extend to the northwest and south, and became what it is now!"
Frick opened his mouth slightly, his brows furrowed and he couldn't speak.
Instinctively, he wanted to question it, but the other party had done an investigation, and there was no need for Leah to lie at this time.
But he still couldn't imagine - if this was true, what a terrible shock it would be.
That straight line not only cuts through Sara's territory, but according to its trend, it will continue to spread upwards and affect the snow-capped mountains in the north.
"There is indeed a sunken canyon to the west of the Orwater Mountains..." Smail said, "The terrain there is also straight... It seems to be connected to it..."
"That's it!" Leah nodded. "This is a super impact! It's more than just an earthquake! The entire continent may be shaken by it! In this process, the sky will collapse and the earth will collapse... a large amount of the surface world will be sunken into the ground, and a large number of underground cavities will be squeezed out of the ground... and in this process, the terrain will be adjusted on a large scale! Change! The Sara terrain map we see today may not have looked like this at all at that time!"
"What should that look like?" Hitzfeld asked again.
"The area around Ongsain is a plain, and the terrain in the middle is higher." Leah answered without hesitation, "If the Sos Fortress really exists, it must have been built on the plateau cliffs behind it... In the era when it existed, it was the best defensive position!"
"Defending what?" Hart suddenly asked.
"I don't know." Leah's voice trailed off.
