Newcomers

[12 days of Protection Period] 

Altera Village. 

After much ado, the mighty team of 131 people, led by Drake, finally arrived at the vicinity of Altera village.

Because most of the people were injured, the pace of travel was very slow. It was already daybreak the next day when Althea and the team returned.

The newcomers stared blankly at the tall walls of stone and sentries. Intimidating from the outside, but stability-inducing from the inside.

"Are level two villages so powerful?" 

"I don't know. But it should be very expensive." 

"Yes, the previous Lord asked us to give shares to build a wooden fence. At the time, he looked like he was planning on scraping everyone's wallets." 

"The people here must be seriously rich, then…" 

As the people chatted, some guards had already excused themselves according to Althea's instructions, for them to get people to help with the injured as soon as possible.
