As dawn broke over the sanctuary, the engineering teams, equipped with blueprints and a range of building materials, gathered at the designated construction sites.
Their task was monumental but crucial: enhancing the physical defences that stood as the first line of protection against any external threat.
Under my direction, the teams began by reinforcing the walls encircling the sanctuary.
We used ultra-high-strength concrete mixed with locally sourced reinforced fibres, a composition designed to withstand not just the brute force of battering rams but also the potential concussive blasts of artillery.
The walls, previously formidable, were transformed into veritable ramparts, their surfaces smoothed to prevent scaling and their foundations dug deeper to resist undermining.
Simultaneously, our engineering corps worked on the watchtowers.
These were strategically elevated, giving our guards a commanding view of the surrounding landscape.
