Lara started to tell everyone about this weird place. Such a fort was abnormal, and the fact that it didn't match any record mentioned about it made Lara quite pessimistic about it.
The reaction from the city leaders was quite expected. They asked her to make sure this wasn't another place than the one mentioned on the map. And when she confirmed, they asked about how they reached there.
She explained to them that Thomas specified lots of places where the five traitors went to frequently and visited. When the leaders heard that, they started to grow suspicious of their long-time friends and allies.
Having such a place secretly built here, while silencing any news about it was very suspicious. And when they heard about how strongly fortified this place was, they became wary of that zone.
