Ratifa's gaze was drawn to a building under construction—it was Henry's new barracks. Workers bustled about, hauling stone and lumber, and the outline of the building was already taking shape.
A wealthy noble capable of maintaining a standing army would station, at most, about three thousand soldiers within their city.
It seemed Henry's castle garrison was already full, hence the need for new barracks.
In the center of the town was a newly built square, and in the center of the square stood a statue of Henry. The sculpted Henry held a Long Sword, his determined gaze fixed on the distance.
Standing before the statue, Ratifa was struck by an odd feeling.
This direction... Ratifa turned and saw that the tip of the Long Sword was pointing... toward Lukaron?
'It must be my imagination.'
At the edge of Westwood Laine, Ratifa saw rows of Workshops under construction.
Inside the Workshops, artisans were forging all sorts of weapons and equipment, providing support for Henry's army.
