The meeting continued and various more concerns were raised. One of which was regarding the large number of people above the level cap that Guia had.

"We cannot do much against the enemies camping outside other than to defend against them," Garan said. "We have to make sure they cannot damage us."

Guia had a lot of people beyond the level cap and a lot of them would likely just be waiting outside to kite them, thinning their numbers little by little.

They couldn’t send scouts out because the chances of them getting caught and killed were too high.

They could check out the surroundings with the observatory scope, but the forests were dense so they had limited view due to the foliage.

If the number of people was high, they’d be able to detect them, but if it was only in groups of dozens, then unless they hang around in clearings for a period of time, then it’d be difficult for the watchers in the observatory to notice them.

"Everyone will stay within the walls, training either in the barracks or the training hall. We will temporarily open the barracks to the public—at least those with a certain minimum amount of contributions; this will allow more people to train in close proximity to the guards."

Although there were fighting arenas, the growth there was limited to the number of fights. Not to mention, one’s techniques could be pulled out to display unnecessarily. What if the enemies were watching the show?

Other than this, they also had to make sure everyone had decent rest before the beginning of war. They also cannot do excessive activities and training before this time.

"The guards must be in top condition during the war," Garan said. They actually formulated a regimen for the guards in the event of wars. That was, during the 14 hours prior to it.

In that regimen, the guards would be given specific body strengthening exercises, and they would not undergo harsh fights and spars. They would be given very good energizing food, vitamins, minerals, and decent rest—ensuring their top shape during the fights that could take their lives.

"We want as many people to survive as possible," Garan said, before turning to the medicine team.

He turned to Sheila, who was manning Althea’s pharmacy factory. "We’re counting on you to up the production," he said, "But prioritize hiring those unable to fight or contribute more. Of course, the skill you require will still be considered."

"Yes, Elder Garan."

Gru was also to ensure that the raw materials for their food were unhindered. For this, they had to use the majority of their fertilizer stock and Althea’s team also made improved versions to add to the most important crops.

Other than medicines and food, the territory would also be buying resources like wood and stone for higher prices so Alterra could stock up on them. They cleared up an open area near the warehouse for the overflowing resources.

"The weapons and other equipment have also been stocked," Brenda reported. The custom weapons factory now had enough stock to equip the fighters a few times over.

The weapons and armory stores from the system were also maximized, with dedicated people buying everything for stock. This way, it would continue producing as long as there were resources in the warehouse for it to consume automatically.

Blacksmiths were also in full gear and prepared to continue producing endlessly (in shifts) even at the height of war.

Other than these, they also had other weapons. Althea turned, looking at Eugene. "Eugene, get those ready," She said, and Eugene nodded. Looking closer, his eyes were sparkling.

A team was assigned to Eugene, but most were still building weapons after weapons for the citizens to use.

While they still had some ways to go before creating proper guns that wouldn’t explode to their faces, they had alternatives that were guaranteed to still cause damage to the enemies.

Anyway, everyone except the visitors was given roles in the war. They had to invest in making everyone do oaths, but it’d be worth it in the long term.

Every industry would also be running steadily during the war, even industries like clothing.

Speaking of, a number of people had already awakened the profession during this time, including a few cloth makers, so it could be said that production was quite high.

Other than the fact that they didn’t have to worry about fighting naked, this meant that they could get light equipment that added defense. The most popular product was Underwear because it was not visible and could serve as the final line of defense.
