110 Changes in The Territory

Xu Yuan was too lazy to explore the Sunken City, but Su Wan really wanted to go.

Su Wan briefly told him about the Sunken City, hoping he would change his mind after hearing about its history.

“Long ago, there was an incomparably vast empire in the Overlord Plane…,” Su Wan began.

The netizens on the internet were going crazy over the news of the reappearance of the Sunken City. Numerous researchers dug up their research on the place.

According to ancient historical records, the vast empire in the Overlord Plane covered almost the entire plane. This was the world’s first unified empire!

The empire had been prosperous. Many mages in the empire were masters of magic and explored the elemental seas.

A Divine Knight, who signed a contract with a powerful hero, gained an increase in his strength. Countless Alchemists had dabbled in ruins and magical devices.

“In the ancient era, there was no concept of an Overlord. The people who signed the contract with heroes were called Divine Knights.”

Xu Yuan understood that the history of the Sunken City was indeed interesting. It had existed a long time ago, even before the Overlord Plane had come up with rules and designated people as Lords!

“Unfortunately, the emperor of the ancient empire angered some entity, so the empire was flooded, and it sank overnight.”

Xu Yuan was disappointed. The ancient and glorious empire had met its ends so suddenly.

“Don’t look at me that way,” said Su Wan. “I don’t know the specifics either. This information is based on the research by the historians.”

Su Wan was glad that Xu Yuan was finally showing some interest. However, right after she finished explaining, he yawned and prepared to go back to sleep.

Although Su Wan knew Xu Yuan was still a little weak, she thought it would be safer to take him along. At the very least, the troops and the White Dragon Saint would be obedient if he came along.

If Xu Yuan refused, the troops would continue to disobey her and create trouble. Su Wan was distressed.

The ground beneath her began shaking suddenly. “What’s going on?!”

Su Wan was scared. She climbed to the top of the Dark Castle to look around. She did not see any enemies nearby.

“The tremors are coming from underground!” The White Dragon Saint said.

Su Wan sent out some of her soldiers to survey the area.

“It’s the entrance to the Sunken City!” said one of the dwarves.

“The Sunken City?” The White Dragon Saint didn’t know much about it.

Xu Yuan understood what was happening. The Sunken City was an underground cave. Xu Yuan had long since wanted to expand their territory to the underground.

When the time came, he would build eighteen levels underground. If an enemy wanted to attack them, they would have to break through layer by layer. However, for now, it was just a thought.

It would require a lot of workers, and massive resources. So, Su Wan had put that plan on hold for now.

If Su Wan hadn’t mentioned the Sunken City, Xu Yuan would have forgotten about it.

According to the dwarves, there was a bottomless crack in a cave at the entrance of their territory. It seemed to lead to a wider cave!

Su Wan took Xu Yuan along with her to investigate. The entrance of the cave was lit up by numerous torches.

There was a huge crack and it was spreading. ‘Did the earthquake do this?’

Su Wan had wanted to explore the Sunken City, but she had to focus on the problem at hand first. Otherwise, if something came out of the huge crack, it would severely damage her territory.

“Skeleton Soldiers, go in and check!” It was best to use the cannon fodders for things like this.

The dwarves never disobeyed Su Wan. However, she felt that if she kept using them for every little thing, they might also revolt against her.

However, she did not have to worry about that with the Skeleton Soldiers. They were perfect to be used as cannon fodders.

After the dwarves threw down the long rope, ten Skeleton Soldiers descended through the cracks, one after the other.

After the dwarves got a long rope, the first batch of ten skeleton soldiers slowly descended from the crack.

“What’s down there?” Su Wan asked after a while.

She hoped that it was just an ordinary earthquake that had caused the crack. If it was something else, it would affect the development of their territory. They would have to move somewhere else. It was too expensive to move the whole territory. Su Wan wanted to avoid that at all costs.

The rope fell short of the bottom, so the Skeleton Soldier wasn’t able to land.

The dwarves collected vines from the vicinity of the territory and then joined them with the rope to extend it. It worked! The first Skeleton Soldier that had gone down finally landed on the bottom.

However, there was another problem. The Skeleton Soldiers were simply cannon fodders. They didn’t have high intelligence and couldn’t communicate.

After making sure the Skeleton Soldiers faced no threats, Su Wan sent a few dwarves to investigate.

Not long after, they tugged the rope to signal the others to pull them up.

“My Lord!”

The dwarves, who had gone down the crack, stood in front of Su Wan. They looked shaken.

“There is a huge ruin below us!”

“There are many buildings. They looked like human buildings!”

“The buildings are very strange. They emit a strange light.”

The dwarves spoke over one another.

“Quiet!” said Su Wan. “Tell me one by one. Slowly.”

The dwarves finally calmed down enough to explain properly. The ruins beneath the cave were so vast that it could accommodate many buildings. There were already numerous buildings down there. However, most of the buildings were dilapidated and abandoned.

The thing that most scared the dwarves was the fact that the buildings were marked with strange ruins. The runes flickered in the darkness.

A dwarf showed her a brick. He had thought that having visible evidence would be more convincing, so he had brought along a brick from the ruins.

“I brought this with me.”

Su Wan suddenly remembered where she had seen the runes before!
