"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

When Tiechu heard the news, a rare look of surprise appeared on his face. He exchanged a glance with Edith, and both could see the shock in each other's eyes.

In fact, Tilly was also quite hesitant about whether to tell the First Army command about this discovery without having ascertained the truth. After all, this was close to a miracle. If the devils could really do this, it would inevitably negatively affect the morale and confidence of the upper echelons, and it wouldn't be surprising if those with wavering wills had thoughts of surrendering.

"Everyone definitely didn't see wrong, goo," Maisie patted her chest and said, "Lightning and I have been to the Backbone of the Continent, and there are no mountains of that shape there, goo!"

Lightning then slowly nodded. "We can't say for sure whether it's something the devils made, but at least one thing is certain: it only appeared there in the last half month."

"I see..." Edith said thoughtfully. "That makes sense."

"You believe it?" Tilly was very surprised.

She originally thought that it would take her some time to digest this information, and then arrange further observation actions to confirm it. She didn't expect the Pearl of the Northern Lands to have already accepted their statement—even the three of them who had seen it with their own eyes had spent a lot of effort to reach the consensus that "it wasn't an illusion."

"Blame Roland for this," Edith sighed. "If it were three years ago, I would have regarded this kind of talk as the ravings of a madman... but now, I feel that nothing is impossible. If I had stayed in a small place like before, I wouldn't have realized that the world has undergone earth-shattering changes."

"Also, the devils' illogical actions are equivalent to confirming this point." She paused slightly and briefly recounted the information that Hill. Fawkes had obtained, "The nobles' cities can't accommodate so many people, but a floating land might."

"Devils... taking in humans?" Lightning asked in surprise.

"This isn't unprecedented. Didn't Agatha say that during the First Battle of Divine Will, some humans even formed a 'joint force' with the devils to deal with the witches?" Edith shrugged nonchalantly. "At that time, they feared the power of the witches, but now it's just been replaced by the power of His Majesty Roland. Those who are unwilling to accept change, and unwilling to be part of the changed, have very limited options."

"They didn't take the warning of the Battle of Divine Will seriously..." Tilly couldn't help but clench her fist.

"No..." Edith showed a strange smile. "Even if the nobles know it's true, they may still make the same decision. The end of the war may be in several years or decades, but His Majesty's cancellation of noble power and the recovery of fiefdom land is happening now. For some people, this is no different from taking their lives. One is immediate death, and the other is death later, so of course the latter is better."

"Alright," Tiechu interrupted helplessly. He knew that once the Pearl of the Northern Lands entered mockery mode, she wouldn't stop easily, and it was easy to accidentally injure others, or even herself. "Let's get back to business. The key is, how do we deal with a flying land?"

Edith's expression returned to normal. "No, we can't deal with it. If it just stays on the Backbone of the Continent, that's fine, but if that thing really moved from somewhere else, we're in big trouble. Tilly could observe it from hundreds of kilometers away, its size will probably exceed our imagination—do you think the Skyfire can destroy a corner of the Endless Mountains?"

"We must inform Brother of this as soon as possible," Tilly said solemnly.

"I agree," Edith nodded. "This has nothing to do with schemes and strategies. The only one who might be able to think of a solution is His Majesty Roland."

"Unfortunately, the new communication towers are still under construction, otherwise, according to the installer, this thing would allow us to talk to His Majesty immediately." Tiechu immediately walked to the desk, picked up a pen and began to write a letter, "In any case, let's send the message back with a flying messenger first."

"No need, I'll take this trip." Tilly stood up and said, "With the speed of the Phoenix, I can leave early tomorrow morning and arrive in Neverwinter by noon, which is faster than any messenger. And... I just want to say thank you for his new gift."

After speaking, she looked at Lightning and Maisie, "I'll leave the reconnaissance west of the Endless Mountains to you two."

"Leave it to us," the two responded seriously.

...

The next day, Tilly drove the Phoenix alone, first heading east towards the sea, and then south along the coastline. In less than four hours, she landed at the Royal Capital Air Knight Academy.

On this day, many people witnessed the figure of this red meteor streaking across the sky.

After jumping off the plane, she ran all the way, rushing into the castle three steps at a time. Seeing that flying gray hair, none of the guards dared to stop her.

Pushing open the office door, Roland blinked in surprise, obviously not expecting her to appear at this time.

"Uh... is there something wrong with the new plane?"

Tilly's footsteps faltered, and she immediately felt a little guilty—did she push him too hard, so that he first asked about the plane's condition as soon as he opened his mouth? "No, the dedicated plane... I mean the Phoenix is better than I expected, that... thank you, Brother."

"Whew," Roland breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression quickly became serious again, "Then you came back because... there is important information?"

"That's right, I accidentally discovered the devils' movements while test-flying the Phoenix." Tilly recounted the three people's experience in detail.

Roland frowned after listening. In order for an object to be seen at a long distance, in addition to there being no obstructions in the light path, another element is that it is large enough, such as the moon and stars overhead. Hundreds of kilometers away, even the Endless Mountains are just a winding, thick line segment, and the Backbone of the Continent is just a hazy "hill". To be observed at this distance, this thing will definitely not be small.

The devils now have the ability to move such a large piece of land into the sky?

This is something that even modern technology cannot do.

If it is really a solid land, then the killing power of any existing weapon will be greatly reduced—this is determined by physical properties. Being able to float a huge weight in itself means amazing energy.

Magic is really unreasonable...

However, Roland deeply understood this when he saw Anna. The current priority is to further investigate the information on this behemoth.

He thought of an excellent candidate.

Entering the dream, Roland took out his phone and dialed Valkyries' number.
