Chapter 313: Before the Tide

Astarto Village.

"With how things are developing within the village, there's a chance that we'll be defending against a tide that's far worse than the previous one."

"Which is to be expected." Hearing Tristan's words, Damian briefly let out a sigh before shrugging his shoulders in response. "With Valyr removing the final obstacle that was hampering the village from expanding, the village has spared no effort to expand itself as quickly and as smoothly as possible."
