Bugs (Part 2)

Rumble, rumble!

Just then, a balloon airship at the distant air port lost control and crashed because of the massive change in natural energy at Saint Grand Fort. Its blazing flames were visible even from here.

As Fladick's disciple, Seratos, the Sky Fortress, stepped forward.

"The balloon airships need a stable environment with a natural energy density above seven thousand pascals per unit to stay aloft and operate normally. In most places in Night's Veil Land, the energy density exceeds ten thousand pascals per unit. Now, here at Saint Grand Fort, it has dropped to the dangerous level of eight thousand. Fortunately, according to the energy-siphon arc principle, after the initial avalanche curve, the rate at which energy is lost here will gradually level off as the surrounding energy replenishes it and the pressure reaches equilibrium. It should take tens of minutes for another thousand pascals to be lost, which is enough time for most airships to leave the skies above Saint Grand Fort..."

Chen King naturally couldn't understand such technical jargon.

At a time like this, no one would care about the minor loss of a few balloon airships.

"Who launched this attack against us? Where is our counterattack plan? I want our counterattack plan!"

Chen King roared.

Everyone's gaze naturally turned to Antonio.

This pioneering academician was the foundation of the duchy, a scholar at the forefront of the pursuit of truth and knowledge, and the goal countless scholars aspired to surpass.

He gazed up at the sky. In response to Chen King's question, he slowly lowered his head and looked at him.

"The source of the attack lies beyond the second chaotic fold layer. In other words... it's beyond the boundaries of the Star Curtain World as we currently define it. It's an unknown region above the
