Rein went to his tent and asked Gurdur about the tribes locations and they gave a map for it. Upon looking, it was an animal skin that has a map on its back.
Rein watched it and he could see the detailed images that were made by the cartographer. And the ink was very high quality. The village was at the center and the other key spots were seen too.
Gurdur then explained, "We are in the center of the forest. Basically, we have no protection from ambushes and sieges. We don't have walls either. And the castle of your lordship was taken by orcs. We must capture it."
He said then Rein was wondering, maybe they could capture the castle soon. It was a stronghold against invasions and has a foothold on the hills nearby their village. They have a strong potential for their defenses and were hard to capture. More or less, they could survive the invasion of demons if they could conquer the castle.
But it was for another time. They must gather more forces as orcs were a different matter. They were savage in battle and had fearsome strength. Plus they have the foothold advantage. They could even obliterate them if they have the tactician skill and make use of their siege defense.
"Sir, we must grow our forces first before making a siege to the castle stronghold." Gurdur said to him.
"I know, we must scout the realm first and gather forces." He said to him then Gurdur immediately replied. "Yes sir,"
Then they made an analysis of the map.
It was in the center of a forest and needed some protection. Rein suggested making towers on the top of the hill to have a wide view of the village.
Then up above north, there was a hill that had an overview of the village and the lake....
They will have some fishing huts made to have fish production. They made woodcutter huts and hunting huts.Then build homes to the incoming villagers that will stay here.
The woodcutter huts then were built and they gathered wood to build wooden walls in the surroundings of the village. It was built with towers too and they gathered wood to make charcoal too to survive this upcoming winter.
They made roads to the key paths and then made some outposts in between. Also, they continued training on the training grounds and their swordsmanship has leveled up.
It was then, they scouted the region and then they found an abandoned mine in the west. To their luck, it was rich in metal ores and veins. Rein planned to conquer it and so he sent Klein to gather a team to conquer the mines.
They went forth and then conquered it, to their luck, only low leveled monsters were there. Like Vampire Bats and Hunting Spiders.
They conquered the mines and soon after, they made an outpost there. The blacksmith and miners were in glee as they found a source of metal. They would make armors and weapons soon. That was why they were excited.
They soon started building towers, and then made tower scouts to the tower. Making their search and view of the land much much wider.
Then scouted the region.....they discovered Warrior tribes in the North where they were training rigorously in the path of warfare.
Druids, Lycanthropes, And Dragonoids were seen in the far South. They inhabited the forest of Shapeshifters called "Eldoria".
Then the Guardian tribes were in the West. They were all having strong bodies and protectors of humanity. They dwelled in the path of being upright and justice. Being Guardians of the realm.
Assassin tribes were hidden but somewhere in the East. They were illusive and only some were able to make contact with them. They were all moving in the shadows and strikes the corrupt and were bounty hunters in the term of vendetta. All evil doers must fear them!
Mages were seen in the College of Magi North East and they were a tribe that uses and practices magic. As a tribe, they trained their young to perfection and users of mana.
Meanwhile Dark Mages were in North West and were practicing dark magic. They were hunted by Mages as they were all deemed as evil practitioners of darkness but they were just misunderstood by the norm. They were hunting devils and were in constant defense of the devil portal that they defended for many many years. Same with the Mages that were defending from demons and alike.
Rein then was handed a book of Gurdur and read it. According to the history book, Primordial Era, the Dark Tide came and it attacked the Mortal Plain. Wrecking havoc to all the land and slaying the Primordials one after another.
They were in existence that were humongous and dark. They absorbed the Primordials like the existence of Gluttony. Making its strength higher and higher as it absorbed their powers.
But the Primordials set up a barrier that hides the remainder of all Humanity. It was a hard fought battle and was in stale mate.
All of the Tribes were nearby and were cluttered here in the Magincia Continent. They could be a source of manpower against the Dark Tide that swept the Primordials into instinction.
But if Primordials were unable to deal with them, then how much more were they, which were puny weaklings compared to the Primordials? If Wise Sage would be asked, he was the weakest Primordial. Making Rein to question what were these beings which kept and watched them from the Ancient times.
Rein then immediately had an idea. But he kept it to himself. There were more further things that should be solved at the moment. And so, he should take one step at a time.
And his first step was to reunite the Tribes and make the coalition. Much more called the Alliance. His dream was one step farther if he could do that one. And also, this winter, they needed to survive the cold and hunger so he needed to prepare for it.
The thing was, he should do it. Or else they would be in dire straits. They could not help the Kingdom if that happens. As for the other tasks, he needed to act fast as time was running out. They were hidden from the Dark Tide for now but when the barrier was destroyed then all would be lost.
It should be protected at all cost and only by destroying the dark tide heart, only it could have a chance to be destroyed. Maybe, maybe not, who knows? Even Wise Sage did not know.....
