After the conversation with Wizard Artarius, Jeming had been on alert for potential issues.
However, he did not expect the opponent to act so swiftly.
Just a month later, the peaceful research routine was shattered by an urgent order.
Commander Frost's voice, carrying a rare heavy tone, resonated across the army via the Magic Network Terminal:
[Attention all units, immediately enter the highest state of ground and underground alert. Detection of large-scale, high-precision excavation operations by the Reaper Race on the outskirts and deep beneath the camp. The suspected objective is... to sever the connection of the Earth's veins and geological structure within a ten-million-kilometer radius around our camp from the mainland. Repeat, utmost alert!]
The order was accompanied by some detection data.
Jeming quickly browsed through it, feeling a chill in his heart.
