[You've built your first outer fortress!]
[Fortresses can send out patrol missions to increase control over a specific region.
The more powerful the fortress, the greater the control bonus it provides.
Orders of knights can be founded in certain fortresses.]
Ethan looked up at the gigantic fortress, pride plain on his face.
The walls rose high, thick and imposing, with watchtowers spaced along their entire length. The stone was still pale and clean, untouched by weather or war.
He turned to the captain of the cohort accompanying him.
The captain was a handsome, middle-aged man with a calm demeanor.
He wasn't a man of many words, but he was honorable and respected.
Feeling his lord's gaze on him, the captain immediately bowed, striking his closed fist against his breastplate with a dull clang.
"I am at your service, Lord Ethan!"
The young lord waved for him to straighten up.
