When Zhou Xu and the others made their earlier assessment, they had assumed that this stretch of void was part of the same area as the voids in the Rakshasa District and Saint Roland—namely, that desert.
But later, they discovered that the desert had been stitched in, while the area outside the Female Warrior Mountains had not. It was only now that the connection had finally been completed.
Once the shard finished joining, the troops stationed in that area naturally began exploring their surroundings at once.
And sure enough, one section really was connected to the desert.
Once this route opened, they could take a turn and reach the Rakshasa border.
However, crossing the desert region was clearly no easy road.
As for taking a shortcut straight into the Female Warrior Forest, they could forget about that too.
There was still the Female Warrior Mountains in between. No matter how close the route was, once those mountains blocked it, the distance became much longer.
At the same time, perhaps because it had been separated from the desert region for too long, the patch of land directly bordering the desert had even undergone geological changes.
However, once the connection was completed, the desert's extreme environment immediately began eroding the piece of land that had been stitched in. How could they allow that?
Since the geology had already changed, they might as well keep it from changing back.
At the front line, they immediately dispatched airships in an emergency and brought over personnel from the neighboring Greening and Environmental Protection Bureau to maintain the environment here.
The Greening and Environmental Protection Bureau was already extremely experienced in this kind of work. Leaving the matter to them basically guaranteed there would be no problems.
Meanwhile, the exploration troops accelerated their operations and surveyed
