Another week passed since the speech. Within the city of Plerg, significant changes had occurred.
The citizens, spurred by Mayor Reed's call to action, mobilized for the resource-gathering effort.
People of all ages and backgrounds joined in, contributing to the collective defense of their home.
The streets bustled with activity as citizens worked to gather resources.
Logs, stones, and various materials were hauled through the city, intended for use in producing weapons, defenses, and military structures.
The only sound within the city was that of hammers pounding and saws cutting as makeshift workshops sprung up throughout the city.
Many citizens took up arms, while some turned their focus to the creation of weapons and armor.
Blacksmiths toiled away at their forges, shaping metal into swords, shields, and other defensive implements.
Craftsmen fashioned sturdy armor to protect the city's defenders from the looming threat of the fangeds.
