After visiting the war fortress outside the Tree of Life Valley, Abel now understood its defensive capabilities.
It was practically a simplified version of a frontline war fortress. Because the materials used were somewhat inferior to those of the frontline fortresses, it could not achieve the same effects, but it could already bring out the druids' strength completely, making it difficult for the invading Holy Knights to conquer.

Although this war fortress was already extremely powerful, all the war machines inside required Elves to operate them. Yet during his visit, he had seen only around thirty Elf druids. For such a powerful war fortress, that number was nowhere near enough to display its proper combat strength.
