Srry ppl i know my last chap. was short but i will try to do harder.
Chapter 3: Fortification of Ioneck
"Sire, the developments are under way." the cephalid scout said.
"Excellent, we should be starting to build the fortifications."
The cephalid citizens of Ioneck were quickly evacauated. The cephalid wizards that were supposed to raise tides went to the council's tower in Iliopolis (this was one of the provinces close to Ioneck but would still be submerged). There were many places that had refortification.
Palisade wall that normally defended the city was then covered with stone. There was also another stone wall that was added to the defense. Cephalid keeps and towers were then erected with mana launchers that could launch blue manna at deadly speeds. Also cephalid and merefolk reiforcements arrived and helped to fortify the capitol of loneck. Pitfalls and slippery seaweed littered the outside of the mighty walls. Defenses at the Ioneck citadel (which is at the heart of Ioneck) where higtened to include more walls and things to delay the opponents.
"This will be a battle for time" Aboshan thoght. He knew he couldn't win in an all out war but if he could hold on long enough, he would be able to recieve reinforcements and be able to hold the city.
After so many days of preperation the time had finally come
"This battle is the battle that decides whether our empire stands... or falls." Aboshan said rallying his forces. "tommorrow is our day of triumph and glory and we shall stand. Now get good rest for tommorrow is the day of the sea"
After much cheering,all of the cephalid and merefolk went and rested.
