After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 735

Chapter 735: Guia-Alterra War (Part 1)
Chris smiled, panting breathlessly but his chin was held up with pride as he watched the result of his suffering.

How long did he have to run with those damned monsters running after him?!

It was very hard to collect a mob, and it wasn’t easy to read the aether letters reporting to him where the array was at the same time either!

Those damned letters were huge! He almost let it fly away due to his speed too many times. There were also times when the inertia would make it flop straight at his face! He almost tripped and fell, getting his leg bit.

He thought he was gonna die of exhaustion! He ran a long time to collect so many, not to mention that Beast Attracting potion was disgusting!

But when he saw the plan was a success and the mobs had indeed found the array, he almost kissed his speed boots in glee!

Done! He yelled, going back to the section of the wall as agreed on. He didn’t forget to get rid of the coat filled with piss, er, magic beast attracting potion, and threw it straight to the array.

He was guided by Luis back up the battlement, and he was congratulated by the guards (and citizens) for a job well done.

“Good job!” They said, laughing. Someone even gave him juice and some snacks. Someone also massaged his back.

Somewhere next to them, people were fighting for the limited number of scopes. “Let me see, let me seee!”

They wanted to see what was happening to the array, and those who got a hold of a scope focused in its direction.

Back in the array, it was a bloody and chaotic mess.

The newcomers were expecting to be greeted by forests, not monster mobs! They came out to hear the sound of monsters growling and eating, as well as flesh and bones being torn and chewed.

“GYAA! HELP MEE!”

“Ahhhh!”

A lot of people tried to get back to the array, but the thing was it could only work one way for that moment. Because it was still being used by the other side, they couldn’t escape this predicament at all!

More and more beasts came, attracted by the noise, meat, and blood, and soon the newcomers drowned either in the stampede their fellowmen made or were attacked by one or two monsters.

From the safety of the defending battlements, the Alterrans watched as the enemies arrived through the array, only to be met with mobs of monsters. Even if the mobs weren’t super strong, their quantity was not to be trifled with.

The surprise alone was enough to imbalance most, and some were even eaten by monsters at least 5 levels weaker because of it.

Luis, who was watching the show with his own scope, whistled. “Wow, you really got a lot.”

“Sammy doused me with several bottles of the upgraded Beast Attraction Potion,” Chris said, bitterly glaring at the dark-skinned man who had the audacity to smile at him.

He even made a thumbs-up. “Well, safe to say it worked better than expected.”

“You!”

“I’m sure the captain will award you with lots of contribution points.”

All Elders were given a certain amount of contribution points they could distribute in a month as bonus, and this was something everyone would love to receive.

Chris was reminded of this and shut up.

Okay, fine.

Anyway, their attention went back to the array and the suffering caused by their first move.

Of course, the mob was not big enough to truly deal with a group of thousands levelled 10s to 15s, but they did still take down and injure a lot of them. Further, the momentum was damaged and that was good enough.

It wasn’t that Althea had finally cracked the formula of determining where the array would appear. However, their new observatory building played a major part in easily detecting where the array was.

Although the forests were dense and the tree canopies were wide, how could they miss the disturbance made by hundreds, if not thousands, of people?

Soon they got a clearer visual estimate and determined that the enemy sent a few thousand guards, fighters, and meatshields.

It was indeed a lot, and a few times the total amount of guards Alterra had. Fortunately, the mob (and the stampede) seriously injured or killed about a few hundred, which was really a good start.

The only misfortune was that almost all these injuries were done to slaves. Through the scopes, they even saw a couple of little green creatures—goblins.

Not only was it sad for the slaves, but there was also the fact that slaves weren’t counted as entities. Even killing all the slaves, which had about the same number as the other enemy fighters, wouldn’t make them win the war.

They watched the enemies deal with the small mobs, with the stronger ones (Seto also arrived) eventually clearing it up.

Although the mobs were killed, so many corpses of their own forces mixed with the beasts. The sight alone was enraging.

The Guians heaved deep breaths and gathered themselves, before mightily (in theory) heading to the wall.

They stopped right outside the 100 meter scope of the sentries. It was level 5 but fortunately for the enemies, their reach didn’t increase, only the damage.

They could now see the people in the battlement and they had a feeling they were laughing at their misery, and imagining that made them boil in rage.

They looked closer and they realized they weren’t wrong—the Alterrans really were laughing at them!

“YOU BASTARDS!” They yelled, bloodied from their own injuries as well as blood from monsters and companions.

“WAIT TIL’ WE GET IN THERE!”

“But you won’t!” Luis yelled with their manual sound amplifier, and well from the safety of the battlements. “Just stay there and behave until the war is over and you’ll get to keep your lives!”

“DREAM!!”

“And are you just sending slaves? Where are the others? So weak!

“How could you have the gall to attack our territory with just slaves? Are you idiots??”

This naturally made the angry enemies even more livid. “YOUUU!!”

Seto glared at them, losing much of his composure. How dare these weaklings mock them like this!!

“DAMNIT ALL!”
