Look at the map.
If this is your first city then likely you are too small to be noticed by anyone. Sorry, but the truth can hurt (as well as protect you!). It is unlikely that anyone is going to waste their time attacking a 10k city unless you've been attacking them. As well you should join a guild. Once in a guild no one should touch you unless there is a guild war.
So pretty much, unless you have threats all around you (ie, you're not in a guild and there is a guild all around you) then you can likely get away with not having an army and just focusing on buildings. Once you start growing and have 3-4 cities, especially those over 20k in power, you will start attracting the attentions of expansion minded players. You'll want an army then.
But again, just join a guild. The game becomes about a thousand times easier in a guild. Until your guild goes to war that is... But that is also when it gets fun.
