We started to prepare everything around the village. The first choice of my dad was to set some traps through the forest that circled the entire village. I had no experience with traps, so I was just helping him.
My dad was a little more skillful at this than I thought.
With the help of locals, he dug holes and placed sharp objects made of iron at the bottom to pierce anyone who fell. And there, he covered it with dry leaves that he found in the forest, it was well camouflaged.
He did this in some other parts of the forest.
But not only that, with a strange mechanism that used magic, he could make arrows fire as soon as someone was detected.
"How does it work?" I asked as I watched him set it all up, I had never studied traps so I honestly couldn't imagine how it worked.
"See this here, it's a crossbow. We can say it's a little stronger than a bow but it's a little slower to recharge, so people usually prefer to use a bow."
