A few days went past in the blink of an eye. The fence, well, courtyards and basic dining area had all been finished. They were now working on the militia barracks so I could make some force out of these ordinary villagers.Due to my fear of being caught unaware by the bandits , I started getting four of the villagers to be scouts with there slightly less scrawny horses after they were given food. This had little effect for the 3 days the builders were making the various buildings and then suddenly a yellow horse came into the village at a gallop . They are coming they are here he shouted.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Other the the last few days I had also found a villager who had a somewhat rudimentary experience with blacksmithing. He had been able to get the iron out of the ore and into a purer state and then turn that into swords knifes and daggers. Apart from that I had a brainwave idea to put large cauldrons of boiling water on the fence and make various traps and put calrrops down befrore the fence.

If you looked on the horizon you could see about 20 horses riding towards us their war cry’s reaching our ears, They were here!
