And, in the living room of the house, accommodated in chairs, the heads of families and the main figures of the village.
From what I was able to verify, a mature woman who apparently is responsible for the forging and construction, an old man who is one of the few elderly people in the village, he is responsible for the cultivation of grains, and the representative of the group of the hunters is a very young woman, it seems Thomas is also here with 2 more men, in addition to these, Leila is also present and mainly, the village chief, Maia.
And, here I am, participating in the meeting, when Maia returned, she said that since I am living in the village, I should participate too, even if I stay here temporarily.
"The reason I call everyone here, is to decide what we should do"
"As everyone already knows, there have been 4 attacks in the last 3 cycles." (for those who do not remember, 9 days, but I must change to days after the initial arc ends, leaving the rural area for civilization)
"Even if we can withstand the attacks a few more times, harvests are still being trampled on, and some areas have started to become contaminated. "
In a serious tone, she speaks to others.
"But, 4 attacks, this is not normal, and in addition there was an evolution in the latter, it is getting more and more dangerous, and we are close to the harvest, 20% of the plantation has already been destroyed, we need 2 more cycles before the harvest. "
The old man speaks while stroking the white beard with his hand, it seems that he is really taking the job seriously.
"We don't have a lot of materials left, the maintenance of the equipment is fine, but to make more equipment, we will need materials. "
The Woman has fair skin, with long black hair and blue eyes, and an hourglass figure, with generous attributes, but what makes me surprised is that, despite having a heavy job, her muscular lines have some definition, which is a perfect balance, and it becomes incredibly tempting and sensual.
"Maia, not just the harvests, due to the corrupt ones chasing the animals on the way, the animals nearby are decreasing, we are having to go twice as far to get a good hunt"
The hunter seems to be the youngest here, she has pale skin, reddish brown braided hair, brown eyes, and small breasts.
"The situation is very bad, there should generally be no corrupt people beyond the border battles, something is wrong, and this is very dangerous"
"The land can be purified with the help of the church, and the materials we can collect, but we have no way to stop the corrupt from reaching us, and I don't think the city would send soldiers so far to just one village, so we cannot count on them "
"Does anyone have any suggestions? Because if we can't solve the problem, we can only move closer to the city "
"" "!!!!" "" "
With a serious expression in each of them, after all I can understand the difficulties, the earth and the materials can be replaced, but if they continue to be attacked, when they are unable to defend themselves ...
"Any suggestion?"
Maia seems to be without much hope, and it seems that the others don't like the idea of abandoning everything here either, but between starting from scratch or dying here, starting over would be the best, even if it is painful to leave your homeland, wait for death it is not a very good option.
"..."

'!!!'
"If the question is just to prevent them from coming to the village, I think I can help"
'Although it is difficult to withstand the wave when it comes to the village, delaying or diverting them, it will work the same way. '
""what?""
A look of surprise is written on everyone's faces for a few moments.
But Maia's gaze fills with brilliance as she asks extremely excitedly.
"Can you really do that Leon? "
"Well, we can set up traps to attract and trap them, we can set up ambushes and false paths, given enough time we should be able to create a defense system, and the most important thing at the moment is to install an alarm system to warn them when they are coming and from which direction "
"We would need to have the details of the terrain, and people who know it to install the traps, we have to have eyes around us, most of the traps that should work, can be made here and then taken ready, that should be enough to buy time, if everything we prepare is going to work, the corrupt will be easy targets. "
Listening to the ideas for the defense of the village, everyone's eyes seem to shine.
"you are really our hero, Leon." her talks is like a fangirl, I really feel a little embarrassed being looked at with such reverence.
"Kayama, can you make these traps and the alarm? Maia asks the woman who seems to have Kayama's name.
"If it's just a few simple devices, we can do it in 1 day."
"Mina, can I leave the recognition for your group? We need to know the area so we can decide where to place the traps. "
'Humm, the young hunter is called Mina, cute name.'
"You can leave it to me, my father has a map of the land from the village to the city of Halks, but I will check the information around us with those on the map, so we will leave after lunch, before the sun goes down we should already be back . "
"Thank you, but remember, be careful, there may be more corrupt ones lost. "
"Leon, after the meeting, can you tell me what the devices are that you want me to do? Without knowing how it is, I wouldn't be able to reproduce it "
Kayama asks me to teach her what to do to get the alarm ready.
"Yes, i will help you later"
It may seem a little silly, but a simple emergency alarm would be a string tied to something that, when someone passes by the place, the string would swing until an object produces the sound, the difficulty of this would only be to have the wire long enough, or as necessary .
