Following a thorough briefing from Charlotte, Riz wasted no time and immediately set off towards Bideford Arsenal.
The Bideford Arsenal, a sprawling complex of shipyards and weapon production facilities that symbolised strength and security for Riz's kingdom.
It was the backbone of his army and navy, the source of their strength.
As Riz entered the bustling grounds of the arsenal, he was greeted by the rhythmic clanging of metal on metal, the acrid scent of burning coal, and the diligent labour of workers who toiled tirelessly to craft the tools of war.
He walked through the labyrinthine pathways of the arsenal, passing by rows of towering brick and steel structures reached for the sky. Thick plumes of smoke rose from the numerous chimneys, mingling with the fog of early morning.
