Ch.05

When i woke up in the saloon i heard tor knocking on my rooms door and then he spoke his voice not his usual stoic calm but concerned and scared

"Dad there are a bunch of monster outside the wall trying to knock it over and i don't think i can handle it by myself"

"Ok I'll be out in a minute"

after getting up and putting on my hat i grab my pistol and club then spend the 5 biomass to create a set of 6 bullets and a speed loader i load my gun and rush to the gate where tor is standing already suited up in his armour he opens the gate so we can fight i see two cows and a wolf if tor had tryed to fight them on his own he would have been ganged up on surrounded and then killed

one of the cows runs for me and the other two monsters rush for tor i bash the cow in the skull and it stumbles around in a half daze i glance over to tor hes already killed the wolf its head cut clean off his sword stuck in the ground and he was wrestleing with the cow as he had grabbed it by the horns my son must be in so much pain i need to finish this quick i then swing my club at the cows leg and the knee snaps backwards with a sickening crunch it howls out in pain it trys to smack me with its head but i duck under the blow brutaly beating on its skull until i hear the voice say i killed it and leveled up to level 3 i rush over to the cow and pistol whip it's face knocking it to the ground i mount its chest and continue to bash its head with my gun and i scream while i do it

"YOU BASTARD YOU HURT MY SON I'LL SEND YOU TO HELL MY SELF"

I don't stop even after i've killed it i keep bashing its head until you can hardly tell it had one to begin with i clean my gun off with a spare rag and take a few deep breathes to calm down at least a small bit before talking to tor

"Son are you ok are you hurt any where please tell me you're not hurt"

"Dad i'm fine are you ok you just got so angery when that monster tried to hurt me"

"I'm sorry son i just got scared to see you get hurt like that"

"It's ok dad im ok it's fine just calm down you're shaking"

I look at my hands and see that tor was right i was shaking and it was bad i just run over to my son and hug him i wasn't going to let anyone hurt him again i just stayed there and wept dry tears for a while and then we closed the gate and i skinned the monsters and set the hides to dry we then had a feast of the meat and i set the bones over inside my workshop for future projects

I'd thought we were safe with just the wall but i was wrong i used my stone blade to shapen a bunch of stakes and then tie them to the outside of the wall so that monsters couldn't try to push it over again after that was done i went out to look for some large stones about the she of my head i found a few after a while and with the aide of tor and a couple of trips i had around 50 large stones and i put them up inside of tor's watch tower for him to lob at monsters outside the wall so he didn't have to put himself in unnecessary danger but he could still protect the town like he wanted to it gave me some piece of mind knowing that he didn't have to fight at a close range if he didn't need to

Another thing i needed to address was the fact that the monsters were getting more agressive to my little town and it needed to stop now they hurt my son and now i was going to kill them all i just didn't have the power to do that right now so it just wasn't feesable to do i could how ever set a bunch of pitfall traps in a checker board patern around the town leaving the gate untrapped so thats what i did i dug pits and put a buch of stakes at the bottom and put weak branches covered with sod over them i was exhausted by the time i was done but we were safer now than we were so i'd call it an improvement from when it was just a wall i then went back into the town to check on my son

when i got to his guard tower he was still keeping watch over the horizon and when i talked to him he was happy about me making the towm safer for us to live in and after that we played catch some more and then we went to sleep in the saloon

when we woke up the next day tor went to the guard post and i went to my work shop to make some things the item i made with the first hide was a backpack for tor so we could more effectively transport materials for building and the other thing i made was one for me aswell

after i was done we went out on a hunt to get some food and more hides aswell as bones after about an hour we still hadn't found anything yet and then i saw them about a 100 yards away

a group humans marching in formation killing any monsters they see they were dressed in plate armour each had a sword and tower shield aswell as a spear on thier backs

"hell it's about time"
