After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 750

Chapter 750: Whetstone (Part 2)
On another side of the territory, there were various fights ongoing.

For example, there was Balzy, the beast hotel owner, who used his tranquilizer guns on the enemies.

It was expensive of course, so he chose the stronger enemies to target. One must know these tranquilizers could faint monsters past level 10. It was definitely much more potent against humans, even if they were higher level.

With the strong enemies gone, the civilian citizens would go out to battle and attack the remaining forces.

On another place, there was the Crow trio, Bull and his girlfriend Lulu, and a few others. They were assigned to areas with less dense enemies and less dense guards, so it was—in a sense—a bit more dangerous.

So they had to get a bit creative.

“Lead them here!” Crow signaled to his teammates, and they nodded, purposely allowing a group of enemies to go a bit farther into the territory.

The enemies gladly followed with a grin on their faces. They didn’t even question why these people were running. After all, their levels were so low! Of course they’d run away!

The Guians thought they finally found a weak spot in the territory. Sadly for them, this group laid traps.

The traps naturally weren’t anything that would deface the territory nor would it be dangerous if fellow Alterrans came upon it instead.

For instance, there were strings made of super sturdy string that they would raise if an enemy appeared. It wasn’t just normal string, they were made by their sewing experts made with special spinning and twisting techniques.

They were thin but they were sharp and would definitely hurt the leg or ankle if they ran into it with enough force. They were attached to the sturdy metal on each side and could be anchored to the ground, keeping it safe for those handling it.

“Yes, few people are here,” one Guian whispered as they ran. “We have to reach the central areas—find the lord!”

The teammates nodded with grins on their faces. “Yes! I wanna stab on that person mys—Ahhhh!!”

They fell down, feeling the sting on their feet. This naturally couldn’t do anything gruesome like cut off their legs, but it definitely hurt a lot, especially since most people’s defensive equipment was in the upper body!

A lot of people fell and more fell on top of the other, forming a little barricade made of their bodies. The Alterrans would then stab and shoot arrows at them, creating punctures in their bodies here and there.

Basically, those above would bleed while those below would struggle and feel suffocated below.

Whenever someone would get up—with much effort—the attacks would focus on that person. It got to the point that some people just refused to get back up and hope for the best.

The hundreds of intruders couldn’t go past this barricade for a while, limiting the damage on one side of the territory.

The enemies couldn’t believe they were being held down so much. They knew the guard team there was only a couple of hundred in number—and this was not even a fraction of theirs!

Yet they were dealt with so much, even the citizens were so strong!

And elementalists! So many!

At some point, a new group arrived and saw how the earlier groups were struggling to get up. “GET UP, DAMNIT!” he yelled, and this group was immediately attacked by nearby Alterrans.

The Alterrans who had awakened immediately sent barrages of elements, effectively lowering enemy momentum.

The team lead growled, and fire exploded in his arms and flew from his palms, hitting an Alterran right in the chest.

“They’re not the only ones with elementalists!” he yelled, glaring at the enemies.

This had been a pride point for Guia. Generally speaking, a village wouldn’t even have an elementalist. But they had a handful! However, that pride was crushed in front of Alterra wherein at least a third of the citizens could wield it!

Fortunately, the Alterran was wearing defense equipment, though sadly the attack had caused it to finally break.

The team lead continued to send another burst of flames, but this time the Alterrans were ready and blocked it with a shield. He gritted his teeth and sent fires to the trees and whatever could catch flames.

They had tried to burn down the buildings here, but they were particularly difficult to catch fire!

What he did not know was that not only were most of the construction fire retardant, but even if the fire was made—for instance, when he used his ability on the vegetation—it wouldn’t have done much damage.

Alterra had, after all, a lot of anti-fire inventions.

For example, the fire suppression ball.

He would also be showered with what the locals called ‘fire extinguisher’ and suddenly he couldn’t use his ability as smoothly!

The locals took advantage of his distraction and promptly took him down, with a mallet on the head no less.

In another spot, there were even Jona and Yana, Drake’s suitors, working together. They were fighting near the Research Center with many others and a few guards.

They had predicted that the place in particular would be targeted and sure enough, quite a few enemy teams really did appear.

They were brave and were quite beautiful. Some of the men could only sigh in pity. That lucky bastard Drake didn’t know the good thing coming at him!

Another place that had been targeted a lot was the industrial area, which was particularly sensitive as it was particularly important during the war. There were a few more guards assigned here.

There were also a few more interior sentries than others, so there was that.

In various spots in the territory, pretty much every Alterran worked to protect it. Whether they were working in the government, in the factories, or fighting head-on, everyone was contributing nonstop and with complete willingness.

There were plenty of aborigine guests looking out the window of their inns or rented houses, watching the good show. Their faces were mostly leisurely, though their hearts were on fire with various emotions.

They… had never seen anything like it!
