In August, Belgium experienced frequent showers, with moderate rain occurring roughly every other day.
However, what made Shire feel comfortable was that, in this usually sweltering season, the temperature in Belgium consistently stayed around 20 degrees Celsius. Occasionally reaching up to 28 degrees could be considered a heatwave, but at night, it dropped to a pleasantly cool level.
Thus, even while staying inside the fortress for prolonged periods, Shire never felt stifled.
Of course, this was related to the comprehensive ventilation system installed in the Liege Fortress.
On this evening, after dinner, Shire took a stroll along a path outside the fortress.
Perhaps due to the nourishment provided by the shells and the ample moisture, the originally bald hill was now covered with various unknown weeds, some of which had grown to half the height of a person, swaying gracefully in the sunset breeze.
