A few wisps of sunshine passed through the thick clouds indifferently, and light dust sprinkled on the vast white snow field and on the north wall of Avalon fortress.

It is expected that the biting winter wind swept through the ice and snow and brushed over the city wall, blowing the thousands of flags standing on the city wall.

Su Cheng is standing on the outer wall of the north city wall of Avalon fortress, with his right hand on the wall pier of the city wall, looking over the wall pier and looking at the north of the fortress.

Willie, Deng Jiaer, Eliza, and 16 knights, including four army commanders, waited quietly behind Su Cheng.

All the Knights of the Michael order are here at this time.

After meeting with the Knights of the Michael knights and simply saying hello, Su Cheng took all the Knights of the whole regiment and began to inspect Avalon fortress.

Su Cheng's current identity is Michael's knights and the supreme leader of the northern front.

In other words, in addition to managing and building the Michael knights, Su Cheng also shoulders the burden of building and maintaining the northern front.

Avalon fortress is the most important fortress of the northern front and the most forward position of the northern front. Su Cheng naturally needs to inspect the fortress.

There are only two entrances and exits in Avalon Fortress - the south gate and the north gate.

The south gate is mainly used to receive supplies from the rear, and the north gate is mainly used to leave a hole so that the empire can send troops to attack the holy Helan empire in the north.

Avalon fortress is an important fortress located in the South half of the eghar corridor and at the northernmost end of the britannian Empire, which is specially used to guard against the Holy Hiran empire.

Because the Avalon fortress was so important, when the fourth generation emperor ordered the construction of Avalon fortress, he requisitioned 500000 civilian men and gathered the best craftsmen in the country at that time.

After the measurement of the craftsmen, they chose a very ideal location - a narrow place in the eghar corridor to build the fortress.

In this narrow place, things are only more than 4000 meters.

Therefore, the craftsmen built the north wall of Avalon fortress very long, and repaired the north wall of Avalon fortress for more than 4000 meters.

In other words, the craftsmen made the north wall of the fortress connect the East and West ends, which is equivalent to building a large wall dividing the corridor into two and a half in the eghar corridor.

The craftsmen's design made the holy Helan Empire only knock the north wall of Avalon fortress if it planned to attack the britannian Empire south.

On the other hand, the britannian empire can concentrate its troops on the north city wall, and there is no need to worry that the other walls will be attacked by the enemy, because the Holy Hiran Empire needs to break through the north city wall, which divides the eghar corridor into North and South halves, in order to see the walls in other directions of the fortress.

The craftsmen's design is disgusting, because they can only attack one wall of the fortress, so no matter how many troops there are in the holy Helan Empire, they can't spread out and give full play to the advantage of troops, while the British Empire can concentrate its troops and energy on the north wall.

And this is not the most disgusting place in Avalon fortress.

The most disgusting part of Avalon fortress lies in its north city wall or the structure of two city walls!

Avalon fortress has two inner and outer walls, both of which are made of carefully cut limestone.

There are eight brick strips across the structure, each about 0.4m thick. In addition to being used for decoration, these brick strips are mainly used to enhance the cohesion of the structure and the resistance of the city wall to earthquakes by tightening the rock surface and core.

The inner city wall is 5 meters thick and 12 meters high. There are 80 octagonal towers, each 20 meters high, with a spacing of 50 meters.

At the top of each tower, there are battlements for archers to shoot and watch the enemy.

Besides the inner wall, there is an outer wall.

The distance between the outer city wall and the inner city wall is 15-20 meters, and the gap between the two walls is called the outer city platform.

The outer city wall is about 8.5 meters high, and there are also 80 octagonal towers, which are just in the middle of the distance between the inner city walls and towers, playing the role of assisting the inner city walls and towers.

Of course, there are two walls, which is not the most disgusting, but even more disgusting.

What's more disgusting is that there is a moat outside the outer city wall!

There is also a man-made moat 15 meters away from the outer wall.

The moat is 20m wide and 10m deep

The moat used to be full of clean water, but with the passage of time, the moat gradually turned into a smelly ditch.

A 20 meter wide moat and two walls can imagine how desperate the Hiran army who attacked Avalon fortress would be.

To attack Avalon fortress, we must first endure the stench and fill the smelly ditch 20 meters wide and 10 meters deep.

When you fill this smelly ditch, the britannian soldiers on the two city walls will continue to shoot you with bows and crossbows.

When you fill this smelly ditch with huge casualties, the battle against Avalon fortress has just begun - you have to attack the north wall of Avalon fortress designed by the two city walls.

Crossbow men will stand on the high inner city wall and shoot you with their crossbows.

In addition to the crossbow men, there are also a large number of catapults and siege crossbows on the inner city wall. They not only shoot you with arrows, but also shoot you with catapults and siege crossbows.

The wall of the outer city will be filled with melee infantry, use rolling stones, logs and boiling water to attack all enemies who intend to climb the wall, and fight with all people who climb the wall.

Under such a three-dimensional attack, the number of casualties of the Hiran army will be extremely appalling.

Even if the officers and men of the Hiram army paid great casualties and succeeded in breaking the outer wall with a little luck.

There is a higher inner city wall waiting for you!

Therefore, thanks to the blessing of the north city wall, which integrates the wisdom of craftsmen and the sweat of civilian men, the fortress has never been broken by the Hiran army since the completion of Avalon fortress!

The fortress of Avalon kept the hirans out of the fortress and the Empire.

……

Standing on the outer wall of the north city wall of Avalon fortress, Su Cheng stroked the battlements made of hard limestone under the palm of his right hand. He looked across the battlements and looked at Su Cheng in the far north. He couldn't help feeling a little pride in his heart.

Although before he became a knight and lived in Mr. Falk's residence, Su Cheng learned from books that the north wall of Avalon fortress was a very great wall and a wall integrating all the architectural wisdom of this era.

Although he had already made psychological preparations, Su Cheng was shocked by the strength of the north city wall after he really came to Avalon fortress and stood on the north city wall.

"What a wonderful wall..."

Su Cheng couldn't help sighing.

"If I were to attack Avalon fortress, I would never go to war if I didn't have 10 times the strength of the garrison."

After finishing this sentence in a half joking tone, Su Cheng turned and left and walked down the wall.

Su Cheng's time is very tight. In addition to the north wall, there are many places in the fortress waiting for Su Cheng to inspect.

In Su Cheng's eyes, there is something in this fortress that is far more important than the north wall.

That's the warehouse of the fortress.
