The Military Department's approval for the establishment of 47th City finally reached Ang, accompanied by a large batch of supplies and an inspection team made up of mages.
These mages had been sent to conduct a detailed inspection and assess 47th City's strategic value and resource potential.
The moment Ang received the approval, he understood that this was merely a formal decision by the Empire. The interests involved behind it were far more complicated than they appeared on the surface.
However, the members of the inspection team did not seem optimistic about 47th City.
In particular, during their inspection, they discovered that the resources around 47th City had been extensively damaged, with the forests nearly completely cut down.
The mages could not help but express their disappointment, believing that the barrenness of the surrounding environment would greatly restrict access to resources in the future.
What disappointed them even more was that 47th City was not located in the central area of the Amna Region, and the surrounding mountains were unsuitable for large-scale expansion. From any angle, 47th City seemed to hold little strategic value.
However, the inspection team gave extremely high praise to the three forty-meter-high walls of 47th City.
The defensive capabilities of the walls in particular left them utterly amazed.
The mages all stated that such fortifications would be exceedingly difficult for any enemy to breach. Yet their eyes remained full of doubt toward the 47th Regiment.
Ang understood that their unspoken meaning was this—the 47th Regiment had simply been lucky. They had built these high walls only for self-preservation, not for strategic purposes, and were merely using a few local victories to earn military merit.
The inspection team did not stay long. Within just a few days, they hurriedly reached their conclusion and returned with their opinions.
