After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 538

Chapter 538: Battles in the Inner Wall (Part 2)
Of course, Fargo also had their archers. But even the sniper Sen failed to kill them, let alone these guys? Before they could make a good shot, they died!

Even if many of the Fargo archers were former marksmen, the Alterans were trained with medieval weapons and many were also provided with crossbows!

Not only that, but there were also Alteran archers above the roofs, so the Fargo guards who had thought the same—would most likely get shot down even before they could settle on a high surface.

One of these archers was Althea herself, among a few others.

They had used Althea’s now-destroyed plateaus to get so high up. In contrast to those on the houses’ second floors, they were busy clearing those coming from the battlement. They didn’t have a good angle of the streets, and their main attacks were those above it.

Most also had some clear shots of the second-floor windows, so that was another reason why Fargo archers got taken down fairly early on.

As for the Alteran archers who had occupied the second floor of the nearby houses, they had far better vantage points of the battle in the streets. Thus their main task was to assist in the close-range combats happening below.

As for what happened to the people who owned the room… well, it varied depending on their reactions. Some Alterans tied down the occupants, while other occupants just let them be. They just left when they realized who they were, even sending goodlucks and other words of encouragement to them.

Overall, other than the teams efficiently killing Fargo guards on the ground level, their archers above eye level provided a safety net and a double-insurance to make sure the enemies that reached this area would really be taken down.

It got to the point that the Fargo people saw that they had 100% chance of getting injured if they got close. Even if they had a chance to take down an enemy, they didn’t want to get any more hurt than this!

That said, many of the people who arrived left with the excuse of finding more intruders. Anyway, this area was ‘taken care of’ by Master Sen and the others!

Similarly, some of the guards already fighting also saw that they had no chance and ran away. Sen saw some of them and if he wasn’t so preoccupied, he’d have shot them down.

Traitors! Cowards!

In fact, if they had the slightest of loyalty, they wouldn’t flee so early, but alas. Fargo’s side promoted those who were evil and selfish. How could they expect undying loyalty from them?

“COME BACK HERE!” Sen yelled, and the Maumi Village duo took advantage of his distraction to finally landed good hits on him. He managed to avoid the lethal shots, but he was still hit in the end.

He gasped as he felt his stomach stabbed and his leg slashed.

He just glared at Mauin and his partner, yelling.

“I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!”

…

While most of them fought off fellow Terrans, there were a few who had to go against aborigines.

The weakest among the stationed mercenaries were level 13. Cassie happened to be facing him.

Cassie gasped as she barely avoided his swift stab. She used her own iron sword to block him, but the man also had a Class D weapon he got from a town.

“Eh, how heroic,” the man said, licking his lips as he pushed her. She spread her legs to maintain her balance.

At this time, she was shielding her two teammates who had been taken down by this bastard. They were both injured and were struggling to take potions, and she was blocking his way while they recovered.

The man’s eyes turned red as he saw her still standing steadfast. “Give. Up. Already!”

“NO!”

She yelled, suddenly maneuvering to the side. Her blade slid against his creating that gritting metal-to-metal sound. She used her remaining mana and a burst of air appeared behind her, causing her blade to approach faster than usual.

The man’s eyes widened as he barely avoided the stab, cursing. He then used his swift stab skill to get to her as he did with her teammates. She was hit but fortunately not stabbed due to her armor. However, the force was enough to throw her to the wall.

“Kyaa!”

BANG!

“Cassie!”

“TSK!” The man sneered, happy with her struggling state. “A woman shouldn’t be holding weapons. You ought to learn that.”

He walked over and took her weapon that dropped down, studying it. “This isn’t bad. Did you guys upgrade your weapons shop already? Where did you get your iron? From Guia?”

“Well, whatever,” he said, raising the weapon and stabbing her a bit in an attempt to undress her. After all, he had already destroyed her outer armor, and he was expecting it to just rip easily to show him some skin.

To his surprise, the ripped clothes revealed a layer of conservative undergarments—one that wasn’t easy to strip unless he attacked for real. Apparently, the clothing underneath was quite sturdy.

Lenny gave it to her and all the women going to war for free. She had seen how women were treated here, and she had an idea of how harsh it could get for fighters.

Female fighters… were inconceivable to most territories, especially Xenoan villages. They would target these women harder just to ‘put things back at the right place’.

Lenny’s theory was proving to be correct at this moment.

“Eh, it’s more fun to undress with a challenge,” the man said, raising the blade, prepared to attack again.

“Cassie!” The teammates yelled, crawling to her. It was chaos all around and the other Alterans must be busy with their own fights, let alone see them in one of the more isolated streets. It was nearby some of the houses Drake and the others had burned down before, and the people here had either fled in terror or were still hiding in fear.

The sharp edge threatened to thump down, targeting Cassie’s joints when a small ball of fire was thrown at him.

The man’s instincts let him avoid the burnt of it, but his armor was hit and its remaining durability gave way, causing cracks.

“Damn!” He gritted his teeth, glaring at the newly arrived woman.

It was a relatively tall woman with good curves and fiery red hair. It took the aborigine aback, but it was a sight that made Cassie and her teammates brighten.

They looked at the woman with teary eyes.

“Jona!”
