The spired fortress was perched on a steep sea cliff, the Imperial flag flapping vigorously in the high altitude.
The spacious harbor was filled with sailing warships and steam supply vessels, with soldiers and dockworkers bustling to and fro like tides.
This was Saint Yil Castle, the Imperial military stronghold on the New Continent, and the hub of the "Northwest Wind Route."
Half a year ago, when Hell's legion launched a raid on Seldo Port, it was from here that General Hamoldon's troops set out to provide support.
Today's weather outside the fortress was good, the sky clear and cloudless, with seagulls circling around the flag.
Yet, the air still carried the lingering salty moisture from the sea breeze.
Just two weeks ago, a sudden storm had struck here and lasted an entire week.
Fortunately, Saint Yil Castle possessed solid stone walls, a meticulously designed underground drainage system, and most crucially, the Casting Group.
