章節 811: Empty Shells

The fallen fort stood in the quiet of the late evening, its once proud walls and sophisticated structures now crumbled.

The sun had set, and a pale moon cast a silvery glow over the scene, highlighting the devastation. The stone walls, once tall and strong, were broken in many places, with large gaps where the enemy's siege weapons had struck. 

Shards of unmelting ice littered the area, and broken pieces of technology was scattered all around.
