章節 583: The Burning Forts

"DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!"

The chain of Ottoman walls and fortresses is suddenly jolted from its deep sleep as commanders rush into every tent, hustling their men awake. They're told to seize their weapons and hasten to the fortifications.

These Ottoman walls and fortresses, brilliantly engineered by Hamza Pasha, are not mere buildings; they represent a strategic network of defensive fortifications stretching from the coast to the highlands of Gerontas. Watchtowers extend deep into the mountain ranges to guard against Roman infiltrations for miles around. Naturally, it takes some time for the Ottomans to organize their defences, a fact accounted for in Hamza Pasha's strategic plans.
