The last line of defence

To protect Kamura Village from invading monsters, the villagers have built a sturdy stronghold. On certain quests, you’ll be asked to hold the fort by laying traps and setting up turrets while under siege from a relentless horde of frenzied monsters. It won’t be easy, but the rewards for defending the stronghold are sure to be worth it.
Strength in numbers
