At this moment, as Camille moved the pointer in her hand, the foothill region lit up, highlighting the crisscrossing defensive network of bunkers and trenches on the perimeter, like knife scars—this natural barrier protected the villages and towns behind it from conventional attacks launched over land.
Unfortunately, Beluf clearly had no intention of launching any conventional attack.
