Vigilance Committee

Vigilance Committee is Carne Village self defense force.

Background
Carne Village never needed a armed force for protection. Despite being a frontier village, it was mostly unmolested by the monsters of the Great Forest of Tob in part of the village being close to the territory of the Wise King of the Forest.

However the villagers failed to take into account that though the beast protected them from the predators of the forest, it did not dissuade human predators.

When the Slane Theocracy agents came and attacked the villagers were unprepared to launch a defense. Many member of their family and comrades were killed. Carne Village was spared a total massacre if not for the intervention of Ainz Ooal Gown and the Warrior Troop.

The experience was deeply traumatic for the village. Having their sense of security breached, the villager no longer had the same kind of trust towards their fellow human beings. Never wanting to feel helpless again the villagers decided to take arms and train to protect themselves.

Strength
The Committee was made of up men, women, and children of all ages that were willing to take weapons to protect their homes and loved ones. Despite their determination the villagers were hard-pressed to gather armor and weapons, and there simply weren’t enough to arm the defense force.

And in the end, they were still villagers. They might have strong arms from working the fields, but that didn’t translate into sword skill. Knowing that it would be short of impossible to turn them into frontliners, the Goblin Troop trained the defense force for precisely in archery as a rear guard.

The group was mostly armed with bows and arrows that were crudely made. However after some training from the members of the Goblin Troop they could launch arrows at beautiful trajectories.

Although the members of the Committee’s technique had improved and they could hit their targets, their bows didn’t have much penetrative power, making it difficult to strike a telling blow on thick-skinned monsters. However, if they were lucky and fired in unison, there was a chance they might hit a vulnerable spot.
