Into The Wilderness II
As soon as the convoy passed through the tunnel, Osho's eyes widened as he was greeted by quite the sight.
The Citadel was built on an elevated piece of land. Not quite a Plateau, but it was of a higher elevation than everywhere else around it. Apparently, this was how most citadels were constructed due to the advantages the high ground provided, and right now, it also gave Osho quite the view.
For as far as his eyes could see, a dense forest stretched out into the horizon. Moreover, the trees weren't ordinary either as even from here, he could tell each out was dozens of meters tall, something that happened due to nature being saturated by Mana.
There were about 4 miles of cleared land between the Citadel and the rest of the massive forest that was the wilderness. In this cleared land, all sorts of things were I'm place to defend against beasts. Various traps like controlled landmines, pits, hidden turrets, and so on.
