Hesha Fortress was the western gateway of the King City of the Kingdom of Gemalin; the troops stationed here to defend the Royal Palace usually numbered no less than 3,000.
Even when troops were marshaled to attack the Leite Kingdom, the garrison at Hesha Fortress remained untouched, and to be safe, the King of Gemalin had also dispatched a rather reliable Earl to guard the place.
Although due to the limited economic strength of the Kingdom of Gemalin and the insufficient production capacity of the Shireck Consortium, the most elite needle guns had not been issued to the troops stationed here, the fortress did indeed receive several pompous muzzle-loading cannons a few days ago.
In theory, no matter what, it should have been possible to hold out for a while, or at least resist for dozens of days, to buy time for the King City's defenses.
