Ten days later.
Under the gray sky, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated over the Iron Wall Fortress.
Instead of dead silence, the continuous roar of military engineering took its place. At the gaps in the blown-up city walls, engineers of the Alliance Country were pouring new alloy concrete, gradually transforming this Northern Territory defense line into a temporary base for the Northwest Army's continued advance northward.
Tents and temporary camps were erected one after another. Many Alliance Country soldiers formed armed squads, patrolling and standing guard in the surrounding areas.
The destroyed base fortifications were repaired. Along the Alliance Country's lookout and defense line, dust rolled up from the potholed ground as a buzzing, whistling commotion echoed through the air. Transport trucks and hovercars drove in from the Alliance Country in the rear, unloading vast amounts of ammunition, daily supplies, and corresponding medical materials.
"Move, move, move!"
