After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 749

Chapter 749: Whetstone (Part 1)
Angelo appeared between them, blocking the man’s attack on Toktok. “Get out of the way!” he yelled, pushing her to safety, before waving his sword to the enemy, using his element to add a bit of a slash.

Clank!

The two blades met with a loud sound, exchanging blows for the next few minutes.

This enemy was level 12 though, a few levels higher than he was, so it definitely wasn’t an easy battle. Unlike the soldiers and Hugo/Helios who could leapfight due to their training, backgrounds, and skills, Angelo was a civilian not long ago. Though all Alterran guards received intense training, he still had some ways before he could do the same.

Still, Angelo did his best to take him down at the soonest before any other leaks could come through.

Fortunately, even when they did, his teammates had managed to finish off their enemies and properly guard this street while he focused on defeating his own enemy.

Soon, some of his teammates got their hands cleared (after mobbing enemies one-is-to-three or four) and joined him. After a bit of a struggle, they finally took the enemy down.

Angelo’s legs were a bit shaky and he found the wall to rest his weight. Then he found someone next to him. She held his arms and pulled him to sit down on a nearby bench.

He blinked when he realized who it was, and he felt annoyed. “What are you doing outside?!”

She took a pen and paper in her space to write down her words. ‘I want to help,’ she wrote down. ‘I already took down 2.’

His eyebrows rose and followed where she pointed, seeing two enemies lying on the shrubs she was just facing before she got attacked. He walked over to see one was a slave and another was an enemy, level 8 and level 9 respectively.

He looked at the level 7 girl and asked, “How?”

She happily showed him a crude-looking gel and then wrote. ‘Paralysis Gel’. It had similar effects to Miss Althea’s Paralysis bomb though with lesser scope and lesser effect, but obviously still useful.

Toktok made it herself. Basing on the Flaura and Fauna handbook in the library, she had built upon the knowledge she had gathered on her own.

Angelo looked impressed and nodded, and he didn’t stop her from wanting to contribute. “Then… make sure you don’t have blindspots,” he told her, “Be careful.”

Of course, he still positioned himself nearby, a portion of his attention always on where she was.

…

In another street, Reno’s adobe walls blocked attacks as needed. After using, he would wave his upper body and these blocks would get thrown at the enemies.

Cassie was next to him, bravely fighting, using her own Olympic expertise and element to take down men a level or two higher than her.

There was also Fufi and Snow who were beheading people here and there. Gochi was guarding an entire street by himself with no problem either.

Not far away, Beany waved his axe around, hitting these bastards threatening the territory’s—and therefore his son’s—safety!

He teamed up with another axe user, Tom, and his spearman friend Rebi to take down a level 12 aborigine. The enemies admittedly had a much higher average level than they had, but they could definitely level up the playfield with strategy—let alone they were in their home ground!

After some time of cooperating, they had found their synergy and attacked without interfering with the other. Their personalities allowed them to work together without one-upping or relying too much on the others.

Their battle moved from the wide avenue to one of the parks nearby, and this gave them some more space to increase the intensity of their attacks.

Sadly, the fight got so intense that a playground was destroyed. Beanie got angry! His son loved that slide!!

He didn’t let the annoyance get the best of him, but sadly his weakness did. Their enemy was, by now, filled with wounds and blood. The moment Beany lost his balance a bit, he lunged towards him.

Clank! Bang!

Beany couldn’t handle the barrage and fell down. It happened so quickly that none of them were able to react, and the next thing they knew the man had already slashed him.

“Beany!”

There was a flicker of light that came so quickly that no one noticed it, and it was then that Beany realized he was undamaged.

His eyes widened, realizing.

It must’ve been the protection charm Althea forced on him!

He remembered the time she gave it to him. She gave one to all her friends, and she gave him one, telling him he was still one of her best friends.

Beany felt a bit teary, and he snapped back up, swinging his axe with even more vigor than before. The other two were relieved and immediately attacked as well, and they snapped back into their previous pace, finally taking down the enemy via beheading him.

The momentum in various parts was completely the Alterrans, and a lot of the enemies just focused on wanting to hide.

The thing was, in the perspective of the enemies, as long as they stayed within the walls until the war was over, it was counted. While most of Guia’s fighters were evil and wanted chaos, some were just cowardly and some were just forced to join in this war.

To them, it was better to hide than fight. For these people who were just forced to fight, including the slaves, they were mostly just made unconscious by the fighters and citizens.

They would then be thrown to the original manual prison by the logistics team who were going around with rickshaws.

Basically, the Guian momentum was low, even if hundreds more of them managed entered. Guians continued to enter the array, even the normal citizens—every hour or so, yet no Alterrans were lost at all!

If anything… these Guians entering just served to make the locals stronger in skill, strength, and mentality!
