After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 1098

Chapter 1098: Resso Village Slaves (Part 1)

Tout and the others headed towards the enemy lines, their thousands and thousands of slaves heading straight to the walls, ready to create large stairs all around it, allowing them to get inside.

It was quite quick, too. While waiting at a distance, their allies had already brought over stairs, lines, and ropes—among many other methods to enter—along with them.

The slaves that came through the array were several thousand, which was more than Resso Village’s own slaves. Basset Town was kind enough to give them a few thousand. Anyway, slaves weren’t counted as entities. Even if they doubled this number, it wouldn’t have mattered!

Now, they could target several spots along the perimeter. Even if a few were taken down, the Alterrans would not be able to push down every one!

How awesome was it to have so many slaves!

Better, they also knew Alterra’s sentries apparently didn’t attack slaves (very stupid of them, really). So while the slaves built their stairs, they wouldn’t even get attacked!

Soon, in various areas around the territory, stairs and other types of access started getting erected. Of course, it wasn’t so straightforward.

Even if the sentries didn’t attack the slaves without hostile intent—at least, not yet—the humans could.

The Alterran archers seemed to choose their targets though, and they varied the attacks from lethal to debilitating using an unknown criteria. For the most part, whatever was being built was just disassembled or kicked down.

However, Tout and the others weren’t too worried, because there was access being built in all parts as they stood.

Anyway, as thousands of slaves headed forward to clear the way for them, Resso was greeted by some of the group already there.

It was none other than Hemeppo, the Lord of Hasa Village—the Village that eats people. “As per the agreement, we want a few hundred women.”

“Yes, yes,” Tout said, shrugging. Even if the allied villages were ordered by Basset to help out, they naturally had to gain some advantages from Resso. This was Alterra, and how they would divide it up once they took over.

The plan was to enter and torture everyone until they found out who the lord was and take the token. The token would be given to Basset Town to become its satellite, but everyone—especially Resso—would be greatly rewarded.

Some of the allied villages requested manpower, while some requested certain technologies. Resso would receive several thousand golds on top of a few experts in food making.

Excluding the slaves, the main forces already triumphed against Alterra in terms of numbers. They also had a lot of level 15s lent by Basset Town with them to help out.

More than that, there were about a dozen level 25s and even a level 30 with them. These elites didn’t bother greeting them of course, and Tout would never expect them to. As long as they were there, he was relieved.

The tens of thousands of the main forces—daydreaming about their wins— stood just outside the scope of the sentries, waiting for the slaves to set up enough access so there was less chance of them getting taken down by the sentries on the way up.

Unlike the slaves, those dense sentries would definitely target them. They naturally had to plan the fastest path inside.

Unexpectedly, before most of the slaves finished, the gates opened instead!

They gaped as the slaves along the gates entered group by group, followed by the slaves behind them, and from their sides, and so on.

“What…” Tout whispered and looked at his cronies. “What did the spies say?”

Well, technically speaking, he only had one spy left with an aether letter. Everyone else had been captured already!

The man scrambled to take out his aether letter and write down question after question. For example: What the heck is happening, what’s going on inside, are the slaves really there?!

Soon, they received a response. “They opened both gates wide, letting the slaves in!”

“What?”

“What’s going on?”

“They’re just letting them in!”

That was thousands of slaves! Were they just letting them barge into the territory without challenge?

“Are they stupid?!” some asked, while some outright celebrated.

“That’s great!” Some yelled, and they immediately went forward in excitement, forgetting that they were entering the scope of the sentries.

Swoosh!!

They watched as a few people fell from sentry and long-bow attacks and people stepped back abruptly. It was so abrupt a section pushed each other back, causing some falls and minor injuries.

Tout gritted his teeth. “Don’t be careless!” He screamed. “This is entirely a good thing for us! We won’t have meat shields anymore!”

He looked at the thousands of slaves entering. If they let it be, they’d be completely exposed and without their precious meatshields. “Try to sneak inside with the slaves, too!” Tout yelled, and a lot of people tried to get in along with the slaves.

They made sure to run in between. They had heard that this was a common strategy with war against Alterra: Hiding behind the slaves.

Unfortunately, the archers and sentries still detected them—there were more sentries around the gates now—and the attempts were easily stopped, irking the lord.

“Tsk,” Tout cursed. “Why would they let them in though?”

He looked to his side again. “Did he say what’s happening inside?”

The other man shook his head, staring at the large slight-shimmering piece of parchment. “He only said they were allowed deep into the territory, filling up the avenues! He said he’d take a closer look but he’s not responding anymore,” he said.

Tout narrowed his eyes, staring at the tall and sturdy walls that blocked their view.

They were not only stupid enough to protect enemy slaves, they even let them inside their walls!!

How did they grow so much with such tiny brains? Maybe they grew too quickly that they forgot to think?

Well, in any case, all was best for Tout.

They didn’t know what kind of stupidity Alterra was doing, but those slaves better cause deep damage from within!

With his authority as the lord, he sent a resounding order to his slaves.

[Attack!]

The slaves would cause so much chaos inside, maybe those people wouldn’t have the time to bother with them outside!
