The next day, in Ovando.
Walter welcomed a special guest today at his estate on the outskirts of the city.
"I didn't know you had such a comfortable place; it's almost like a small town."
Lance stood at a high point of the estate's architecture, overlooking the area, and took it all in.
The main structure is a three-story brick-and-stone villa resembling a small castle, with a well-arranged cluster of residential buildings surrounding it, occupied by tenant farmers of the estate, and beyond that, golden wheat fields.
Finally, an earthen wall separates the interior from the exterior.
Originally, there weren't many people here, but due to the chaotic situation, it has become a relatively safe place, where caravan activities primarily take place.
The families of those caravans have also relocated here from the city, along with select individuals from the refugees, as the caravans have instead grown during this time.
