Azel cracked his hands as he reached the top of the wall.
It wasn't just tall though… it was massive.
The wall stretched wide enough that two full-sized carriages could drive side by side without ever touching the sides.
The structure was intimidating.
'I wonder how long it took them to make this,' he thought as his boots met the stone surface.
But the wall wasn't bland or simple.
All along its edge, large cannons jutted outward, their black barrels pointed at the horizon.
They looked menacing and old but well maintained. There were a few soldiers cleaning them up now.
Dozens of soldiers patrolled the top.
They weren't the same as the ones at the base… these men wore black uniforms with reinforced plating on the shoulders and chest.
Around their waists hung strange gear boxes connected to small nozzles and coiled metal wires.
'Movement gear, huh?' Azel thought, recognizing the design.
