The soldiers headed to the sentried level 3 wall, reaching it within a couple of minutes.
One of the advantages of Calming VIllage was that its scope wasn't maximized. They only built on the area they needed, so they could afford to surround everything with the very expensive level 3 wall and sentries.
They might be a bit cramped inside, but at least they were all protected by the best walls they could afford. They could just go outside in groups near the sentries when they foraged if the resources inside weren't enough for them.
This was one of Ryan's father's legacy. He led the movement of solicitation—even donating a lot of his own money—to build the level 3 walls.
They could only build a few sentries in the end but it was hundreds of times better than how it was, when everyone was vulnerable against the weakest monsters.
Anyone remember who Gwen is? She was mentioned once or twice. ;)
