Ever since receiving the news of the presence of alien races, Jess had been increasing patrols around the village every day.
Not just the patrolling sentries but also hidden sentries around the woods.
The importance of the mines was self-evident.
The Lord had entrusted him with such an important task, and Jess couldn't allow anyone to cause trouble.
Especially at night.
Jess ordered all soldiers to sleep in armor, and the slaves were not allowed to remove their clothing, ensuring they could assemble at their posts in the shortest possible time.
Moreover, Jess frequently got up in the middle of the night to do spot checks on the soldiers, preventing them from secretly sleeping at night.
He then meticulously watched every shift change, missing no suspicious signs.
Jess had anticipated various possibilities of surprise attacks and prepared to defend against alien races.
