With a forest serving as the first defensive layer of the Ironhold Bastion Stronghold, the Porter soldiers found it challenging during the previous encounter, and they were about to face it once again. Rasoul had ensured that all the strongholds were stocked with weapons he had acquired from the system.
With the forest providing perfect cover for the introduction of additional traps, the generals in charge ensured they maximized their trap deployment. This time, their strategy aimed to inflict more casualties with traps before engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
Similar to the Stormwatch Tower assault, the Porters initiated their attack precisely at three o'clock. They moved with a tight formation to minimize casualties from the anticipated traps.
