Mo Fan initially planned to stay at the Parthenon Temple for a few more days before heading to the Aegean Sea, at least until he was done having fun with Xinxia, since there was plenty of time left.
However, the news that evening took everyone in Athens by surprise!
In this Internet Age, any news could easily spread across a country within two hours, as long as it was shocking enough!
“Everyone, we just received an update from a reliable source that Green Sprouts Island to the west of Crete has totally disappeared from human territory,” Poseidon, one of the twelve knights reported sternly.
Disappeared from human territory…
Normally, they would only lose their territory to the invasion of demon creatures, but saying that a place had completely disappeared? The term was rarely used in the past hundred years.
Everyone remained silent. Many had heard the news from their phones, but it was shocking to hear it from an authoritative figure like Poseidon!
Did it really disappear, just like that?
The land on Green Sprouts Island was rich in nutrients. Its olive trees were of the highest quality in the world. The olive oil it produced was usually reserved for the royal families in Europe!
The town on the island was surrounded by olive trees, and quite beautiful. It housed a lot of locals from Crete, but it had now disappeared, along with the areas close to the sea.
“Were the Tyrant Titans behind it?” a Golden Sun Knight asked.
“Yes,” Poseidon confirmed.
“Damn it!”
“Those devils. Why can’t they spare our civilians? They are clearly declaring war against us!”
The knights were enraged like erupted volcanoes. The Hall of Knights was soon filled with their declarations for war!

Mo Fan did not think things would turn out like this so suddenly.
If it was a war, shouldn’t there be a boundary with the enemy on one side and them on the other? The enemy would have to cross the boundary to reach their city, yet something so disastrous had already happened before the two sides even engaged one another.
“I think that’s why our country insists on setting up the headquarters cities. Every country has so many cities to look after across its territory. It’s impossible to guarantee the safety of every mountain, forest, island, village, town, and city, even when the Mages have gathered at the frontline,” Mu Bai commented.
“Do we really have to go to war? It’s already at the level where an island could disappear in an instant. We might die at any second if we go!” Zhao Manyan said hesitantly.
“I’ve already given my promise. It’s not like we can quit now. I just didn’t expect things would escalate so quickly,” Mo Fan replied honestly.
“Yeah, the Parthenon Temple usually can succor the victims, but I believe they are feeling hopeless after what happened, too. They didn’t even have a chance to save the civilians, or heal the wounded,” Mu Bai agreed.
