As a training ground for siege tactics, Maple Fort endured the ravages of the Iron Peak County Military for a whole month.
The carefully leveled land surrounding the fortress is now dug up and ragged, filled with trenches of varying widths, twisting and turning.
From a bird's eye view, the trenches, radiating outward, look less like tentacles extending from the Siege Camp toward the fortress and more like roots spreading from the fortress itself into the Siege Camp.
Although the main structure of Maple Fort, with its "packed earth and stone" construction, is extremely solid, the most skilled six-pound long guns of the Iron Peak County Military—with the largest stockpile of shells—hit the fortress as if merely tickling it, except for the captured Thirty-Two Pound Cannon.
However, this couldn't prevent the artillery of the Iron Peak County Military from dismantling the defenses of Maple Fort.
