Rexford and I continue our journey on horseback. Thankfully, the heat is bearable despite it being directly over our heads.
The small village that we need to protect, from frequent attacks from bandits, is an independent unit from the kingdom of monsters. According to the information we got from Gray's Shop, its primary source of livelihood is agriculture. Most of the inhabitants are also werewolves with very few half monsters.
It takes us about two hours to reach the village. As soon as we arrive, we can see that the villagers are on high alert. They have set up a barricade at the entrance of the village, with guards with crude weapons who are stationed to keep watch.
Rexford and I approach the barricade, showing the necessary mercenary documents to the guards. They let us through and another guard ushers us into the village center.
