The once majestic New Basilicata City has been transformed into a colossal fortress. The protruding gun barrels on the bastions stretch out like porcupine quills, instilling fear in those who behold them.
Twelve artillery batteries are circularly distributed on various mountain tops, equipped with a total of over two hundred large and small cannons, all protected by sturdy fortifications. The lower level has a space excavated within the mountain, capable of sustaining several regiment-level units, stocked with provisions like food, spirits, medications, and ammunition.
Once war breaks out, these batteries can mutually support each other, providing firepower support. Concentrating forces to break through any one battery faces immense resistance, requiring a broad campaign and paying a bitter price to breach the twelve zodiac-like batteries and attack the central New Basilicata City.
