Battlefield

Everyone has been alerted about war. Chaos is taking place in the village as everyone is busy as heck. Collecting food, wood, etc is a problem but ren has issued an order of collecting stones.

He also asked them to collect elastic clothes. Well, they didn't know the word elastic, but Ren explained the clothes that can stretch.

So, they collected waste clothes that could stretch.

The clothes here are made up of special fiber and cotton. Some are naturally warm, while some are naturally cold.

There are also clothes that could stretch so much.

Ren had a plan in his mind.

As from the letter of the war, it was decided that the war will take place after 1 week.

Letter of war may sound stupid, and sneak attacking the enemy sounds better, but it isn't an option here.

Sneaking war isn't allowed in treaties. If one thinks one race is a threat to them, they both have to have enough time to prepare.

Or that is said. So, they would naturally follow.

Ren was a little anxious since he didn't know if his preparation will finish in one week. But he decided to use much manpower on it.

While foods are grown on the field, Ren decided to exhaust himself by growing vegetables with his plant's energy. He underestimated the amount of mana needed for a single vegetable to harvest.

He nearly fell unconscious just growing 1 field of vegetables. But with one day of rest and eating something, his mana was refilled.

So, he decided to grow one field per day.

The village has nearly 100 fields with 150 farmers.

The total population is 1000, and 300 are soldiers, 150 are farmers, and some are blacksmiths, but their weapon quality isn't that great but they are the only source of weapons.

There is also a medic camp, but they all use healing herbs. But after Ren's supervision, the medic has grown to the point where they have medicine for many diseases, including fever and cold;.

It was a huge medical advancement for this village.

Also, it's not that Ren knows this much, he just used his previous world knowledge of using herbs and the herbs he used are always tested by him.

Now, at present, only one day is left before the war.

"Ok, dig that there. Make a round shape... Oh, yeah, sew them together and make them long"

...

"Did you all put these clothes all around the village?"

"Ok, now..."

Ren was busy as heck. He had so much to do if he had to win this war. Well, he could just diss them and run, but, he is tempted by the dead bodies in the war.

While it may be disrespectful for death, he will just put stones on them as a tomb to remember them.

"Ok, finally the preparation is complete."

Ren slumped on the lap of Nezumi.

"You worked hard lord." Nezumi gently patted his head.

"Yeah, this is life." Ren melted down as feeling the softness of her thighs.

Slowly by slowly, his consciousness drifted apart and darkness covered his vision.

*********

The next day-

A parade of soldiers walked toward the gate. Four groups were formed, and the village was surrounded by these soldiers.

Shadows were given a special task.

Ren was carried by Nezumi, as she was his secretory in a sense. He was on the top of the wall that was created by the villagers to view the battle.

He will also command soldiers after watching from here.

And they waited.

They will wait for the enemy and will march down too. But, they don't know the moves of the enemy, and being short on troops, they decided not to leave the village.

In the quiet forest, the soldiers took a fighting stance. Everyone had clod sweat dripping from their neck. as it was their first battle.

Some soldier's hands shook, and some trembled. All of them were nervous and anxious. No one knew who will die, or who will injure. They didn't even know if they will win the battle or not, but... they will give their all.

To protect the villager, the soldiers are determined enough to sacrifice their life.

"They are coming."

Nezumi said calmly, but her hands shook slightly which she held forcefully by her other hand.

All of the villagers, soldiers, shadows, and even elders were scared, the ones who are not scared, nervous, and anxious may probably be Ren or other psycho people.

Ren smiling looked forward to the spoil of war he would get. Trembling, he couldn't hide the excitement, but as a saying goes, no one would understand until it is said.

So, everyone misunderstood Ren also being nervous.

"Ayaaaaaaa!"

Screams suddenly echoed, the trees all swayed roughly, and the lands shook. A horde of people rushed at the village from all directions.

"Everyone, get ready!"

Ren shouted.

But, except for the soldiers going forward, they all moved sideways.

The enemy were all surprised and laughed.

They are scared!

While they saw the anxious expression of the enemies, their self-confidence also increased. But they didn't expect it, there was a trap.

A trap that Ren prepared...
