The Kugit didn't take Lentiaburg seriously at first.

A castle only a mile from the border, generally armed and unequipped, could not withstand the Kugit with their new tactics. The Kugit slowed down their offensive even after the initial siege. Lundia Fort became an excellent training ground for the Kugit to test new weapons.

On the third day after the siege of Fort Lundia, Dimitri saw a torsional stone thrower throwing a stone projectile at an alarming speed on the far ground. The projectile was apparently on the high side, passing more than a dozen feet above the battlements of Fort Lundia, and finally smashing into a forage field. When Dimitri was ordered to inspect it, he found that the stone projectile was delicately carved into a perfect spherical shape, weighing one hundred and sixty pounds. Stone bullets rained down from the sky, smashing a corner of the forage field into dust.

This was only the beginning, and with constant firing, the Kugit mastered the most precise angles. Every hour, dozens of stone bullets are shot up in the air, smashing into the solid stone walls of Fort Lundia.

Dimitri had observed the Kugit in the observation tower, numbering more than three thousand, and there were troops around him who were marching by one after another. With the exception of the southern side, the entire Fort of Lundia was besieged.

At the end of March, the observation tower was destroyed by a continuous stone bomb attack. That morning, two stone bullets toppled the roof of the observation tower, crushing one of the soldiers inside, and in the evening, one finally hit the support beam of the observation tower. In three minutes, the top half of the beautiful tower had shattered into a pile of bricks on the ground.

In order to keep an eye on his surroundings, Wright instructed the minmen to build a temporary tower out of timber stockpiles, which the soldiers and minmen would assemble at dawn, observe before the Kugit attacked, and then dismantle the tower.

An envoy from the Kugit came once, and the Kugit brought an interpreter and translated what he had said into Swadiya word by word. It was Wright's most unsuccessful day, because the translator's name was Brill.

The Kugit demanded that the Swadians give up their resistance and surrender the fort of Lundia so that the soldiers could safely enter some of the farmsteads under Kugit surveillance and wait for the end of the war. The Kugit promised that there, the Swadias would do whatever they wanted as long as they did not run away.

General Clyde asked Wright, "I heard you know some kujits?" ”

"Yes, General".

"Will you curse?"

"Yes, General".

"Scold him".

Brill's face turned grim, and he listened to Wright's meticulous execution of General Clyde's orders. The emissary of Kugit smiled slyly, the group of Svadians probably did not know the consequences of their actions.

The messenger said, "In that case, the purpose of my trip has been accomplished." I had to write a letter to the lords of the country of Halma that it was time to start repairing the serfs' shacks. ”

There was no translation of this passage, and Brill said to Wright with a meaningful smile: "I said that the Kugit people can still play that dombra, do you have it with you?" ”

From the end of March, the Kugit went on the offensive again. Stone bullets smashed the stone walls of Fort Lundia into a thousand holes, and the Kujits pinned down the walls of Fort Lundia with siege ladders, and the steppe soldiers marched in with shields. But the Svadias again and again knocked the Kugits back.

When summer comes, the surrounding woods are almost all deforested, and they become countless arrows piercing the fort of Lundia. The Kugit attack was becoming more and more infuriating, and by this time the defenders in the fort of Lundia were less than seven hundred men, and many were wounded. Fearing the plague, the fallen soldiers were burned in the castle every night.

Fort Lundia has always had a habit that every seven days, soldiers would light a flame in the middle of the night and tell the surrounding villages: "Fort Lundia is impregnable, Fort Lundia has not given up".

This tradition was inherited after the castel de la Lundia was cut off from the outside world. The already fallen Svadia border, illuminated by the fires of Fort Lundia at night, has been illuminated countless times. The 'Fire of Lundia Fort' has long been regarded as a symbol of victory by the Svadian soldiers, and the flag of the Svadia Eastern Army is different from other military districts, and behind the lion, there is an additional flame, which is used to commemorate the courage and nobility of the Svadia people during the more than 300 days and nights of Lentia Fort. Later, when the soldiers in the east mutinied, they abandoned everything they had as Imperial soldiers, but kept only a flame on the banner.

The Kugit found that the numerical superiority of the Kujits, with the effective organization of the Swadiaans, was offset by the tall walls of the Lundia Fort. With the arrival of summer, the castle has become something that the Kugit people have in their throats. The Kugit estimated that the Swadias could not have more than 700 men, but the Kugit had already lost more than 1,000 men, and these improvised steppe soldiers were never painful for field warfare, but they were not suitable for the cumbersome and complicated technical warfare of siege.

Swadia is fed by a small river north of the city, and the Swadias have built a canal to bring cool water into the fortress. But the ditch became one of the first things to be destroyed by the Kujits, and afterwards, the Kujits regretted it very much, because if they had not cut the stone canal and poisoned it instead, it would have caused much greater casualties.

After the water supply was cut off, the water supply system was restricted, and the soldiers who participated in the defense of the city were given a liter of water and a liter of wine a day, and the soldiers and civilians who did not participate in the defense of the city were required to recuperate in the bunker, and the ration was halved.

Every rainy day is a blessing from heaven for the Swadians, and all the eaves are filled with clay pots. The diggers repaired a well that was not used in the fort of Lundia for many years, and the well did not produce water at the end of the summer, because the Kugit dug a vein in the lowlands, and the groundwater flowed down the gap dug by the Kujits.

Wright was hit by a stray arrow while climbing the observation tower and fell off the tower. After that, Dimitri was like having a nightmare. The Kugit attacked intermittently, and whenever the Swadias tried to break through, the Kugit cavalry would surround them and drown them out. On the city walls, the people looked as if butterflies had flown into the mouths of tigers.

One day, a red stone bullet was thrown into the city, and people gathered around to take a look and found that the stone bullet was wrapped in a battle flag. It was written with the words 'Fort Rende', and later, the flags of various castles in the eastern frontier were successively sent into the city by the Kujits. Clyde, the general of Fort Lundia, unleashed the banners and had the soldiers hang them on the walls, and Fort Lundia told the Kugit that as long as Fort Lundia remained, the eastern frontier of the empire would be impregnable.

Every seven days, the soldiers would light a flame. When the wood becomes more precious, the corpses of the dead soldiers are set on fire. The soldier died in glory, and after his death was burned in the flames, and the light told the surrounding earth that Lundia Fort did not give up, and Lundia Fort was impregnable.

With the defeat of the Kujits, Lendiaburg soon became the talk of the continent. People marveled at the resilience of this little fortress.

In late autumn, a reckless Swadia militia unit attempted to cross the besieged camp and enter Fort Lundia. This unit did well in guerrilla warfare in the woods, but when they were absorbed by the regular Swadia army, the bureaucracy thought that these people should take the initiative in the rear in order to give the Kugit a 'head start'.

The Swadians, who hastily walked out of the forest, were spotted by the Kugits on a wide plain. The furious Kugit cavalry, who were enraged by Fort Lundia, finally got the opportunity to show their true colors of the steppe. The guerrillas, which were a headache for the Kujits, were quickly routed, and later more than 200 captives were captured under Fort Lundia.

The Kugit warned the people of Fort Lundia to lay down their arms as soon as possible if they were to save them. Kugit's previous promise is still alive, and it will be even more generous: this is the steppe people's reward for warriors.

General Clyde had already learned the curgitic swear words he wanted from Wright by this time. For the first time in their lives, the Kugit people in the city were scolded in the steppe dialect with a Dehrim accent.
