Chapter 11: Aftermath and Recovery
Smoke still hung in the air as Srabon walked through the village square. The ground was littered with broken weapons, shattered wood, and the remains of destroyed structures. The first major raid had ended, but the damage was severe.

Srabon opened the system interface. The Archer Tower had sustained heavy damage, and several traps were completely destroyed. The Barbarians were nursing wounds, and the Archers were exhausted.
The Builder approached, wiping sweat from his brow. "We held them off, Chief, but just barely. If another raid comes now, we won't survive."
Srabon nodded grimly. "We need to rebuild. Reinforce the walls, upgrade the Archer Tower, and lay down new traps."

Srabon assigned the Builder to repair the Archer Tower first. Meanwhile, he gathered the troops. "Listen up! We may have survived the first wave, but the Goblin King won't stop there. We need to be stronger, faster, and smarter."
Mira stepped forward, her arm wrapped in a bandage. "Chief, are we going to strike back?"
Srabon clenched his fists. "Not yet. First, we recover. Then, we plan our counterattack."
As the villagers and troops dispersed to repair the damage, Srabon gazed toward the distant forest. The Goblin King was out there, plotting his next move. And next time, Srabon would be ready.
