Similar to Nox, all the other kids in the Cromwell Barony were now being trained one way or another. The parents of these children didn't complain because of Hendrix's actions.
The stakes for the upcoming competition were very high for them. Not only would they lose 50 percent of their resources, but their pride was on the line as well. The only way to wash this shame away was for them to win this competition and beat the kids of the Armstrong Duchy.
As they were preparing, so were all the other towns.
Cromwell Barony,
On a Massive Field…
Sweat and exertion glistened on the faces of the children as they jogged around the massive field. This was their fifth lap, and their bones were practically begging them to give up, but they pushed on, a spark of determination flashing in their eyes.
This was the first time they had such responsibility and high expectations placed on them, so they needed to work hard to make the people of their barony proud.
