After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 136

Chapter 136: NPCs in Action
The Lord specifically told them to let the people experience the dangers of the mobs first before making a move.

While it was difficult, the people nevertheless didn’t fail to impress them.

“Are you alright?” Rowan asked, and the soldiers stood up amazed but quickly gathered themselves.

“T-Thanks…” he said and jumped back to battle. The people on the wall though, were not so calm.

“Ooh my god! Is that a firewall?”

“So cool!”

“I heard when you reach level 10, there’s a 10% chance you could awaken an element.”

“Just ten? Then it is not guaranteed even if you have the affinity in the stats bar?”

“…I don’t know.”

However, the discussion was cut short by Rowan’s valiant display of abilities. He let out a fire whip, dealing with a handful of monsters almost immediately, and the warriors only needed to hit them once and they’d die.

He made sure not to kill them, leaving them to the others. The lord told them this was an event to strengthen the people.

Besides, he didn’t get any experience or copper from these weaklings at all because people could not get anything from monsters lower than 5 levels from their own.

This happened several times and the soldiers below received a lot of experience from getting the last kills.

“Goodness, so cool!”

“I wish they made a move sooner!”

“Focus! Are you here to watch or to help?!”

“Oh, right right right.”

They continued shooting their arrows, with the logistics team ensuring they never ran out of them. However, sometime later, quite a few archers couldn’t help but freeze midway, watching the battle below.

A gasp. “Metal spikes!”

“Oslo? The architect??”

“So handsome!” A girl swooned, but not before firing her shots with decent accuracy, of course.

“I want to reach level 10!!”

“Then you better kill more monsters!”

Monsters fell one by one, cries of fury, twisted forms loitering the ground

This display of the two elementals inspired everyone’s fighting spirit to the maximum.

Seeing the killing spree of the two NPCs, they even started to worry that nothing would be left for them to kill!

…

Baron Smith was throwing heavy stones from his space to the monsters that were scratching the walls.

He and his team had brought in a number of boulders to assist. After all, no matter how rich, you sometimes couldn’t buy talent. Baron was one of the types with no body coordination no matter how much he practiced.

He looked at his cousins Angelo and Jesse. Angelo was already in the guard team, killing several monsters every few minutes, while Jesse was shooting with a very good hit rate.

Cassie and her grandma on the other hand were working overtime in their kitchen, making easy-to-eat foods and snacks to sell at cost price to the people in the front line.

Mathilda was assisting Sheila and her new assistant, Lily, in preparing everything they could to assist the wounded.

At this time there was a new face that joined them. It was a graceful woman looking to be in her 20s. They didn’t have any idea who she was and what she was doing there until she introduced herself.

“I’m an… NPC that has just been hired a few moments ago. My name is Betty, and I’m a D-level Healer.”

A Healer?!

The women brightened at this and grinned at each other, quickly running to both sides of the new NPC, startling her, and then quickly dragging her to help.

Overall, everyone did what they could for the territory, even those far within the walls.

Gru was one of these people. He walked to his backyard to check on the yam he was breeding.

It was all he knew how to do and, with his age, it was all he could do. At the very least,he could help provide the food that would give everyone the strength they needed to fight the enemies.

He looked at the grafted plants and saw they were doing well. He added a few more experiments, doing what he could.

What he didn’t expect was the sudden ding in his head.

[Congratulations! Occupation confirmed: Farmer]

….

While major activities was happening in the Southwest gate, the Eastern gate was minimally guarded in contrast.

Althea stood on the walls of the Eastern Gate. She had given the order that she would handle the gate herself, with them following after settling the other gate, much to the aghast of the others.

She had checked the map and she saw that at least 70% of the monsters were heading to the Southwest gate, a little over 10% to the Eastern gate, and the rest attacking the rest of the walls.

To assist her, the Eastern gate had extra two sentry towers right by the gates for extra force.

There was also a temporary construction outside this gate, albeit much smaller and condensed, made by Oslo with his earth ability.

Instead of a wall, there were platforms of different heights but accessible to each other. She could jump over to them from the gate as she needed, jumping to and fro to capture as much as she could.

These were all temporary though, as a limitation of Oslo’s ability, but she reckoned the fight shouldn’t last longer than a day.

Althea had stopped herself from leveling up before, and she was now hungry for experience.

As for her pregnancy, she had asked the new NPC healer to add a small buff in her body for protection, and she also prepared a lot of medicines just in case.

Anyway, one of the two NPCs will be joining her after increasing the momentum on the other gate.

More importantly, it was very rare to encounter so many level 2s and 3s. She needed them to finally level up, and thus focused on them, ignoring the others

If people were to see the sight, they would admire her not only for her strength but also for her beauty that seemed untinctured by the mess.

And, indeed, it was what caught two mysterious pairs of eyes.
