====Second Great War==== | |||
During the [[Second Great War]] and following [[Urcea|Urcean]] occupation of [[Anglei]] in 1935, [[Yonderre]] began work building defences towards its south east. The defences would run along the river [[Avonne]] alongwhich the Anglasweorc in [[Yonderre]] stood. Yonderian planners contemplated converting the earthen wall into an anti-tank trench and assigned 31st, 35th and 42nd Engineer Battalions of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] to carry out the work. Had the proposal been implemented, it would have destroyed the structure. | |||
Hearing of the plans, Ænglish archaeologist James Teller immediately telephoned the head of the [[University of Collinebourg]]'s archaeological department and was even put in touch with [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] [[Joanus X de Martigueux]] himself. Teller argued strongly against the destruction of an important remnant of "Levantine civilization" and Joanus authorized him to stop the construction of the anti-tank trench. He informed Teller that a written order would be dispatched but that it would take several days to arrive. Teller then drove to the site and ordered the commanding [[Yonderian Defence Force|YDF]] officers to immediately stop the construction process. When the local [[Yonderian Defence Force|YDF]] commander refused, Teller threatened him with reprisals from the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Duke]] himself. Construction was called off and the Grand Duke's written order arrived two days later countering the [[Yonderian Defence Force|YDF]]'s original instructions. | |||
