Y-your Excellency, it's horrible!
The road, the road...is gone!

?!

...There's a giant hole on the
other side of Ehmead Hill.

It's burning hot all around it.
I wasn't able to get very close.

What? Just like that?
I suppose that was what all
that rumbling was earlier...

Even if we were able to get
near that hole, getting across
it would be impossible...

No one will be able to go past
Ehmead Hill like this!

So then, Nor is cut off
from everyone else?

This is bad. This is real bad.

Could this be...the blast
from Heracles' cannon?
What have they done...?
