June, with a blazing sun.
The Iron Peak County Military had "taken over" Maplestone City for seven days, and the siege of Maple Fort also continued for seven days.
The occasional thunder of heavy artillery served as a reminder to everyone that the war was still ongoing.
But life had to go on as well.
Like other cities, the outskirts of Maplestone City had vast farmlands. At present, the rye outside the city had been harvested, and it was time to harvest the wheat next.
Cattle and horses sluggishly dragged heavy stone rollers, flattening large areas of the fields where the crops had been harvested.
The threshed grains were evenly spread out on the ground, drying in the scorching sun.
Looking out, the fields outside the city were dotted with sudden golden patches, as if someone had splattered paint with a brush.
Because the processes of harvesting, threshing, and drying all required a large amount of manpower.
