Hotam County, Lvwa Village.
On the riverside highlands, the fog formed an ash-gray mantle swaying in the air.
The surging river water stirred the mist.
In the fog, a star-shaped fortress appeared, like a giant beast baring its fierce tusks.
Located on a crucial tributary of the Nao'an River, Haji Castle is a bridgehead, watching over and assisting Adan Castle upstream.
Although this is not as important a fortress as Xia Lvcheng, it is a vital link in protecting Nao'an River transport.
The commander of this rampart, with a total of four hundred soldiers, is Bether.
Standing behind the parapet, he wiped the dew off his breastplate with leather gloves, watching the massive blades of the winding machine being driven by the rapid water flow.
Earlier in the attack, a dozen Red Knights dove in, attempting to sabotage the winding machine.
But the Thousand River Valley People, having suffered previously, would not fall for it again.
