"Gregor's forces are on the move," Viktor announced. "We don't know their full numbers yet, but we must be prepared for an attack."
The crowd murmured, their faces a mix of anxiety and resolve. Viktor's eyes swept over them, noting the determination in their expressions. The changes he had begun to implement were starting to take root.
"We will not be caught off guard," Viktor continued. "Our new policies have made us stronger, and now we must prove it. Alaric, detail the defensive measures and assign patrols."
Alaric stepped forward, pulling out a map and pointing to key areas. "We'll fortify the northern perimeter and set up traps along the main approaches. I've also arranged for additional patrols in the surrounding woods."
Viktor nodded approvingly. "Good. Everyone, stay alert and be ready to move at a moment's notice. We will defend our home and our way of life."
