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

Inside the Terran Mercenary Team Ferrol Branch

”What do you think is going on?” Essed, the bald-headed spear-user, asked the others as he looked curiously at the masters.

They had just gone back from a day of training and investigation, immediately going to the storage and taking out the large baggages they brought before.

Madon followed their movements as well and offered to help, only to be rejected.

They couldn’t help but remember that not even a week ago, the masters were extremely antsy and panicked. Look at them now, all smiles and very giddy…

”The somber atmosphere from before the masters left turned lively.” Madon paused, ”I’m very curious about what happened.”

More and more staff arrived to watch the fun, and they nodded at Madon’s words. It wasn’t that they hadn’t asked. It was just that when they did, all they received were sly smiles.

”Well, it was definitely a good trip. They all looked so serious and worried before they left…” Essed said and smiled, watching as Luis cackled by himself.

The young man was looking at the covered rickshaw as if it was his beautiful wife…

Speaking of rickshaws, the aborigines had been pondering about them for a while, though they couldn’t be used by them yet as the tools were stored along with the other things.

Those rickshaws were really high quality. Their towns and cities had this, but they had never seen one done so well. They had seen it move when it got here, it ran so smoothly. Somehow, even on bumpy roads, they saw the items inside received much less shock than they should.

It must be quite comfortable to use.

There were quite a few people outside who knocked on their gates, asking who made them…

But… the masters were being so mysterious and they were often outside, and they could only say that the masters got it from another territory.

The aborigines continued to chat a bit before going back to their posts, only they didn’t have to as the deputy had already called on everyone.

”Meet up!” Gill yelled and his sharp eyes watched as they filed the hallway one by one, looking at each of them. Other than the Terrans, a total of 21 aborigines were hired. There were 8 in logistics and 13 were fighters.

The eight people on the logistics team were Pipa and Sasa, who were regular seamstresses; Roana and Yoyo, the regular cooks; Koli regular tanner; Jessi, a regular gardener, and; Furong and Semi, regular carpenters.

None of the logistics officers received system occupations, so their skills were extremely limited. However, this was fine for the simple Mercenary team and they never believed in limiting people so strictly.

They even had hope that maybe their people would upgrade if they worked hard enough. Perhaps they could even go study in Altera to get inspired.

As for the fighters, there were plenty, most of whom were just normal people who had experience in fighting and without occupation. The most notable of which were four men: Kleid, Klaus, Knauff, and Thorance.

Klaus and Knauff were one of the first fighters hired by the Mercenary team. They were both level 14 and were left in charge of the team of level 12s-13s. There was also the level 21 Kleid who had taken the helm while they were gone.

All of the masters left and left them such a big place to care for. This level of trust was unprecedented, even with the contracts.

Leading a team was something they never thought that they could receive in a big town at their levels. They naturally worked hard and so far they had not disappointed the core people.

The next one, Thorance, was a newcomer. He was hired just before the soldiers left for the fog.

He was also a bit good-looking with lustrous chestnut hair, pale skin, and lazy eyes that seemed as if he didn’t care for the world.

He was also the only elementalist outside the core people. After all, Elementalist were rare and important, they generally went to strong forces instead of small budding ones like the Terran Mercenary Team.

Let alone, he was a wood Elementalist. It was not the rarest element, but it was surprisingly on the less populated spectrum.

As for why Thorance, a rare wood elementalist, joined the Terran Mercenary team was a long story that was not to be discussed in detail.

To summarize, the wife of a lord fell in love with him and he suffered hell because of it.

It got to the point that he had to relocate to the nearest town. He was scared to enter larger groups lest he be targeted so he chose an unknown entity to make that lord feel like he really fell from grace, finally leaving him be.

However, seeing the light-hearted interactions between the group, a small smile graced his lips.

It seemed like he landed in a very good place.

…

Next to him was the semi-bad Madon who was also very, very, curious and was just itching to ask for more information.

Also… where was Jake and Brandon?! WHERE ARE THEY?

Madon had been steadily improving his craft. Although he was still far from upgrading, his pace was much much better than before—which could have been said to be hopelessly stagnant.

However, in the past weeks, he had experienced unprecedented growth! A lot of this was due to Jake and Brandon and he still had a lot of questions!

So… where were they?!

While Madon was being confused, the logistics and back-of-room people like Pipa and the others were eager to prepare food and others for the masters.

Especially the women, who were shamed for working at first, but then they gave their families their first partial paycheck and their position in the household was suddenly elevated.

It was amazing. It was like money made the world go round.

Anyway, the aborigines whose paths had been limited were given new roads by the Mercenary team, tightening the hold on their hearts and loyalties.

And… each one of them was looking forward to its growth.
