Chapter 52: Building a Strong Foundation
The morning sun cast a warm glow over the village, illuminating the bustling activity as Ashen made his way to the central hall. Today, they were embarking on a significant development project to enhance the village's fortifications and improve agricultural output. The recent alliances had provided a sense of security, but Ashen knew they needed to be proactive in strengthening their defenses and ensuring food security.
