Chapter 23 Village?

Sun was rising giving a fresh feeling to the world. I was training with the 7 newbies and it was going great. They cannot be called newbies anymore. All of them have developed good basic swordsmanship and mana control. The most enthusiastic one is the blond girl she is called Remi. When I searched her affinity she had a Fire element which can be used in a destructive manner which is perfect for her personality. It's been a week since the first day of their training. Even though I did train them in magic, Aunt Asumi is the one who trained their Swordsmanship.

The matter with the outer wall of the village also went smoothly. 40% of the outer wall is already completed. I introduced a cement mixture which is made up of Mana-Limestone which is obtained from the Caves of the nearby area and Clay. It was actually much stronger than I thought it would be due to mana quality.

The houses for the extra people are also finished before they migrate here. They were also made up of the same cement mixture and stones. They were enough for a family of 4 or 5. Today is the day first 2 villages are supposed to come.

"Aunt Asumi, when will the villagers come?"

"They should be here any moment now," She said.

"Veli, Do you want to lead them I think you're the one who should lead them rather than me," she said with a little smile.

"Aunt Asumi, why do you say that? You're a great woman. Aren't you already a great village chief" I said while holding her hand.

We were talking like this for a few minutes and Aunt decided to let me deal with the matter of the monster attack and new villagers but she will help because no one would take 5 year old seriously.

In the afternoon the migrating people started to come to the village. There were 70 or 80 people in one village. Just like in our village most were females and old people. There is a lack of healthy young males because they tend to fight monsters and die. Such is life in the wilderness.

Aunt and I went to the gate to welcome them to the village. Most of them entered the village without giving any problem and Aunt was talking with the Other two Village chiefs. While I was waiting near the gate aunt came with the two chiefs to introduce them to me. One was a man of age 50 and another one was also a woman of age 45. Both of them were amazed to see a 10-year-old-looking child starting all this against a monster attack.

"Guys he is the one I told you about, don't be decisive by his age he is a good leader than me," Aunt Asumi said with a little smile.

"Nice to meet you, little guy, thank you for doing all this for our village, we will try to help you with all the things"

After the brief introduction of the Village chiefs. We assigned each of the families their new homes. Most of them were amazed to see that the new houses are better than their old ones. Regarding the food problem, I introduced a solution to that. When I was visiting the outer forest once I got to see a plant-like potato but it was the size of a coconut and it was easy to grow. I introduced this plant to villagers to grow and now we have a steady supply of them and the brand new kind of food that is most famous in the village is Potato chips. Even though we lack salt and other spices they still have a great flavour. I will find an abundant supply of other things as well shortly. Currently, this village shelters about 250 people so this cannot be called a village anymore it is a little town now.

Among the newcomers, there were a lot of talented people like warriors, and farmers but there were less number of people with elements. Until the other villages join us I plan to assign jobs and train people with potential in this group. There were some troublemakers but they were prevented by Aunt Asumi and Other village chiefs.

Mother was also busy with different things so I haven't got to have our usual sugar time. Lyra and Delvi have been helping me all this while and they are the ones who have the highest firepower in this village after Mother, me and Aunt Asumi. The 7 newbies were also sometimes trained by Delvi but they highly dislike her training plan because it was literally made to kill them.

Everything went smooth for another week and everyone is settled perfectly in the village now. The wall is also almost complete and the signs of the monster's attack can be seen. I think within another 2 weeks' time the outbreak will start.

The village has good firepower now. The trained individuals are under the direct order of me and Aunt and other normal ones are under the order of the other two village chiefs. They are equipped with bows made out of the Mana-wood.

Other village people also must be here anytime. We have cleaned the area which faces toward the kingdom and made some extra houses for those people. Most people underestimated me because I look like 10 years old but they all had to take me seriously after I showed them what I can do. I once had a duel with a so-called champion of another village but he couldn't even take one strike from my wooden sword.

Just like this other villagers also came to our fortress.
