Because of the soldiers' coordinated actions last night, none of the villagers were hurt, and no houses were destroyed like the last time the goblins raided the village, which was a significant development in its defense.
When the soldiers sounded their instruments and alerted the whole village to summon the other soldiers, the villagers naturally heard it and understood that a great danger was approaching the village that required the power of all the soldiers dwelling in it.
Naturally, they panicked and would have run out of their houses as usual. But this time, they stayed calm inside and prayed for victory. Riela was among them, and she didn't worry too much because she believed her husband was capable of bringing peace to the village once again.
Most of the villagers were unable to sleep due to worry.
