It is now the middle of October year 1454, Antonius and the bulk of his newly assembled army has moved in to the chain of fortification constructed near Diavata by Helio in preparation for the incoming battle.

The quick fortress constructed by Helio is a mainly wooden structure building, with some of its foundation laid in stone bricks that Helio could find from nearest towns and settlements. The entire fortress has a simple moat of only one meter deep, two walls with one being only three meters tall and another one being five meters tall. The entire chain of defence is divided in to three parts guarding Thessaloniki's western fronts. The entire defence is designed in a way combined with the highly mobile cavalries that if the Ottoman forces want to get past these fortresses and reach the city walls of Thessaloniki.
