The ship carrying the synthetic humans brought the people of The Azure Longsword to the vicinity of the Gibraltar Fortress.
The fortress was situated on a protruding long island, which lies to the south of the Iberian Peninsula, very close to the strait connecting the Mediterranean with the Atlantis Ocean.
At the same time, the strait itself also served as the key hub connecting the South Continent and the Iberian Peninsula, with a never-ending stream of ships crisscrossing north to south to transport supplies. Should a ship attempt to cross from east to west through the strait, it was highly likely to be immediately detected by the ghost fleets patrolling nearby.
Therefore, it was imperative to destroy the Gibraltar Fortress and sever this supply route.
