Bad start for me, and I played stupidly. I built a wood mine 5 days from the castle, not on the road, and with 2 strong blocks in the way. The good news is that I took a wyvern nest from there. It's so hard to build an army (the wyvern nest needs 15 wood). At the beginning of week 2, I took the road to the neighborhood, destroyed a few guards (archers, of course), then continued for one day, and 25 mighty gorgons defending the pendant blocked my way. A weak army can't defeat them. Thanks for the game.
