What I Wish

Deep in the night, Kieran and Mary arrived at Lightning Fortress.

The revered and magnificent look of the fortress was long gone. All that was left was wood piles and stones that were gathered in a short time to form a simple defense line.

All they could muster up was only a single side defense, against the direction of the main troops from the Prairies.

Should the defense line be broken through, the Prairies soldier could march directly into Riverdale without further resistance.

As for the Warren soldiers that were stationed at the fortress after the completion of the defensive line, they were still there but not the original troops that once guarded Lightning Fortress anymore.

The three thousand stationed troops were mixed with the imperial guards of Warren royal family, some private militia and a portion of the city guards. There was less than a quarter of the original troops left in Lightning Fortress.

The information should be correct because it was from Mary herself.
