Beside them, mages dressed in magic robes were holding specially crafted engraving pens, and they were intently carving complex patterns into the already built wall surface, enhancing it with various strengthening and defensive runes.

The section of the city wall being constructed was still quite a distance from the current residential area.
This was based on an optimistic forecast of future population growth, planning out a city domain beyond its existing scale.
In this world, city walls, under the reinforcement of large composite magic arrays, became indispensable solid cornerstones of the defense system.
