V2. Chapter 14. Days Before War. (Part 2)

After working for a while, we, Tact hand, Thane and I, finally finish and they tell me to go help others as they are working on something else together, so I just go outside to know if I can help with hunting when I spot a familiar big guy along with others

"Hey Aren! I forgot you guys were coming, sorry to not greet you" I say to the big guy who is now in front of me, sporting a great smile.

"We arrived long ago, but don't worry, I saw you were working quite intensely so we just helped out with the wall's construction and hunting" Says the Barbarian as he exhibits his muscles around.

"Oh, is that so, did Mayor Azalea come too?" I find the actions of the Barbarian amusing and asks curiously.

"No, she stayed at the village... it seems you made it, going through that place..." Says Aren as if he is measuring me.

"Yes, we made it" I nod at his words and smile back at him

"After the battle is over, I want to spar against you, it interests me what kind of strength you got after going through the Dungeon of Wishes" Says Aren while exuding fighting spirit through his eyes.

"I will accept it anytime~ Well I am off to work in hunting now, are you coming?"

"No, I am one of those who are helping with the wall" Says Aren while going to a different direction and says "I am off now. Oh, and kid, Azalea told me that you should go to the village once in a while to visit"

"Okay, I will go there" I say to the big guy while waving off and I start to hunt. We need provision for everyone and even more as the army is coming here, Kagito told me they should arrive soon, and it seems he wanted to get here fast too... I wonder if that was fear in his tone...

Well, anyways, as days go on and we worked, we finally get notified that the army is arriving. As they get near the sound of troops resounds through our surrounding, evidencing the huge quantity of them. We could catch sight that a group of people looks to be leading it. Eroda and I stay at the entrance to welcome them and the man who is in the front says.

"It has been a while Ardha"

"It sure has, Kagito." I smile at the man in front of me, completely different from the pitiful state and ragged look he had when we first men, I move my hands to introduce him to Eroda, "This is Eroda, he is in charge of the village now"

"Hello, I am Kagito, a member of the Kaiser Guild. We came from the Kingdom and at our friend's request"

"I am Eroda, Mayor of the village at the moment, I am grateful for your assistance and please come inside... but I think not everyone will fit in the Village" Says Eroda while glancing at the foot soldiers that are alongside them. An executive like woman appears in front of us as she says,

"There is no need, the Kingdom has supplied us with other things to camp around the village, me and the other commanders will go inside to talk about the preparations" Says Eliana in a composed manner

"Oh, that will help! Even so, I am sorry for this" Says Eroda while apologizing and makes a movement with his arm, "now let's go inside" while signaling them to come in, the troops start making camps as if they are already used to it.

Inside the village we see that the others were waiting for us along with Aren, who represents Gardan's platoon.

They greet each other and we enter inside the assembly hall, where everyone sits in a round table that can manage even more people. It seems they assemble everyone when something urgent happens, but it will be better for us to handle this matter, as the villagers were still working, and it seemed some of the troops will work on the wall too.
