บท 489: What does a craftsman need

When stretching the means of the town to the limit and with as many formations as I could set up with what I had on hand, I could foster the growth of fifteen warriors at once. 

This kind of force wouldn't be anywhere near enough to contend with the dangers of this new, changed world. 

So, I had no other choice but to empower everyone by focusing on craftsmanship instead. 

"I was under the assumption that you wanted to create an army," Mia said once I removed myself from the stage and left back for our room. 

I looked down to my side, only to be captured by Mia's deep eyes. 

She wasn't out to judge or demand answers. 

The sparking curiosity in her eyes was what prompted her question. 

"Because that's what I wanted to do at first too," I admitted with a sigh. Then, I shook my head, allowing myself to show just how helpless I felt. 

I took in a deep breath and turned silent for a moment.
