Six Months Later

(Six months later)

Ironclad City, a mining hub of the Magi Empire, nestled atop barren ground, devoid of any greenery.

The city lay at the foothills of a vast mountain chain, its landscape marked by rugged terrain and dusty plains, and unlike the grand metropolises of the Empire, Ironclad City was a rugged, functional place. 

Its buildings were stout and utilitarian, constructed to withstand the constant wear of mining operations rather than to impress with architectural beauty. 

Despite its industrial appearance, the city was well-developed, with a network of rail tracks, massive ore processing facilities, and simple buildings to acuminate its inhabitants.

However, at the moment, the Ironclad City was no longer brimming with the life of civilians and miners, but rather, it teemed with thousands upon thousands of soldiers, armed to the teeth and supported by battle automatons and Arcantrons.
