Ritchie: "That's just how it is."

Ivy glanced deeply in the direction the aliens had gone, then turned and left the deck.

On the tenth day of the voyage, in the northwest strait of the Supuha Mountains.

“If you sail eastward along this strait, you will see a cave hidden under the cliff.”

Standing in the captain's cockpit, Rachel, referring to the map, said to Aisha, "That used to be a secret port used by the Elders for sailing. The entrance is rather narrow, but this ship should be able to pass through without any problem."

Aisha, using the dragon bone nerve to observe the steep cliffs and precipitous peaks at both ends of the strait, couldn't help but say, "Look at the geography and location here, this is definitely the best hiding place for pirates."

Rachel: "The terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountain roads and waterways are full of traps and mechanisms, making it impossible to get close."

Aisha: "I must say, you guys really know how to pick a location."

Rachel: "In the thousand years since the founding of the Elder Council, governors, tribes, and empires have launched countless attacks on this place, but only once have they truly penetrated the heart of the Elder Council."

Hearing this, Ivy couldn't help but ask, "Only once?"

Rachel: "Because of that incident, a traitor appeared in the council of elders, and the alien race almost faced annihilation."

Aisha piloted the warship carefully into the cave and slowly docked beside an old, makeshift harbor.

Rachel nodded and said, "We've arrived."

Evie said, "Our next task is to find Todd."

Rachel: "I'll take all the aliens, and you take your sisters. We must follow the path beside the harbor, through the Elders' underground labyrinth, to the bottom of Mount Supuha."

Evie: "Are you sure Todd is there?"

Rachel: "If Todd goes to Sutherland to negotiate, that's the only place he might be."

Aisha then asked, "Then what should I do?"

Rachel: "Stay here and wait for my call."
