Along with Amelia, Richard reached the place where Eleanor called him.
The violette, fortunately, was punctual and was already standing there when the duo arrived.
Finding a peaceful spot on a resting bench, Richard asked, "Is there any problem connecting with them, or is it completely blacked out?"
Without asking him for details, Eleanor knew what he asked as she answered soon after, "It's complete isolation for them, it seems. Not even a single person is responding to my letters and artefact signals."
Amelia has heard about the situation from Richard en route, that's why she could be seen currently frowning.
Isolation of the capital means the head of the whole body(continent) being disabled. Many units working across the Empire get regular messages and orders regarding their action and if suddenly the command center stops working...only disaster awaits.
"What can I do to help?" Richard asked, his voice sounding more serious than ever.
