Looking out beyond the village, it was as if he could see, across the vast distance, a group of monsters in the forest engaged in construction.
"We can't just let those monsters build a settlement next to our village and then keep attacking us, can we?"
"There should be an outcome soon." The young man wasn't sure either, but to comfort the old village chief, he shared his guess. "I heard the explorers who've entered the labyrinth should almost be done with their first exploration and are coming back gradually."
"If it doesn't work out, I'll make another trip to Barry today and see if I can get through by adding some money..."
Just as the two were worried and anxious.
Outside the village, the rhythmic sound of horse hooves began to echo.
A village youth, in his early twenties, dismounted his horse.
"Bad news, those goblins have already started building a watchtower at the edge of the woods." The horseback villager spoke quickly.
