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

Why did it feel like these people were… enjoying it?

Really? No, right?

Anyway, one thing was for certain: No one was forced outside.

Rather than having no choice, they were out here out of their own free will!

None of them could move forward towards the open gates at this time, temporarily forgetting their tiredness and hunger.

They… were just too shocked.

”Hey…” Tot said, seeming to realize something. ”What language are they using?”

They all gaped, their brains finally started working.

Terran language?

Their eyes widened at the possibility and they looked all around them in disbelief.

In fact, even if the people who rescued them spoke to them in Xenoan like Cree, it had a peculiarity—was it accent? Who knew—that indicated the person wasn’t a native.

Now, seeing them mock and encourage each other in their native tongue while facing mobs—their hearts were filled in awe.

These people were from Terran! These were Terrans for sure!

But they were so strong—

Soon, more and more people entered the battlefields, some jumping down from the walls, lunging towards the beasts as if it wasn’t thrice their mass.

The battles were active enough that it didn’t notice them, the accessible meat nearby, allowing them to watch the battle in relative peace.

Faye was also a bit sharper and noticed the differences, particularly between those with uniforms and those who didn’t. Judging by the strength differences, the ones without the uniform were… civilians?

Unlike in other territories, the citizens here seemed to willingly fight alongside guards and maybe even enjoy it. This was something they couldn’t quite comprehend just yet.

Everyone showed skill and bravery, much more than they had seen in most of their guards.

The battle went on for many more minutes, and they watched them take down the monster mobs one by one. They would watch as they’d drag the carcasses back to the wall and where a group of… goat-horse things was waiting…?

The carcasses were placed on a large cart that was almost as wide as the gates, and the group of goat-horses dragged it deeper into the territory.

Similarly, anyone who was injured (which was a not common occurence) would also be placed in another cart, though one cart was only carried by one goat-horse. It also had a blue bandana on its head, as if to differentiate it from others.

What in the world…

”That’s a broat,” Cree said, also similarly impressed. ”I didn’t know they could be used that way.”

In one of the territories he had been to, Broat was a popular source of meat. However, they were either just standing still or running, and it was difficult to use them anywhere else.

The Row Villagers had no idea what to make of it; they could only watch for a bit more.

They heard a deep bell sound inside though and, like a signal, people started using elements as well!

Later, they’d find out that it was indeed a signal. It was a signal that the mob was almost finished and they could play as they wanted—that there was no need to retain their energies too much!

The newcomers gaped as elements flew all over.

There were people who threw large rocks to distract a monster while a teammate stabbed them. The same teammate would pretty much float—even if it was just a second—to go over a monster’s head to kill another one.

There was a slight gust there and they had an idea that the person used the wind element.

This wind elementalist would wave his hand and create a gust to push back a monster, and right where it was pushed, there was someone ready to kill it.

There would also be a lot of fireballs thrown around, all while the people swung their swords or held up their shields.

There was also a water elementalist who threw small water balls into beasts’ noses, annoying them, and his teammates would then take care of the distracted monsters with their weapons.

There were also plenty of combinations. For instance, the fire users would combine with the wind to create stronger fire. There would even be people using… oil?

People had oil here?

There would also be small teams of earth users who would corral monsters for efficiency. When they opened up a wall for the monsters to go through, there’d be teams waiting to deal with them.

Because they came out in smaller numbers, teams would be able to work together to deal with it faster and with less injuries on their side.

There would also be teams that’d bait monsters to either the sentries or some traps. It was amazing how well they could time the arrows, as if they had done it so often that it was instinctual now.

They also had various traps. Some were holes dug by earth elementalists, designed to either trap smaller monsters, or imbalance the bigger ones. Their movements were always clean and swift and without hesitation—taking advantage of even a second of distraction to go for the kill.

Anyway, there was an obvious organization amongst the chaos and anyone with combat experience could tell that these people had gone through a lot of battles together.

In their territory, with thousands of citizens and guards, there were only a handful of people who had awakened their elements. They were completely newbies who didn’t know what they were doing and could only do the basics.

Here, even civilians looked proficient!

Other than these, they were also proficient with their weapons. No one below the wall had to be defended. Everyone handled themselves and cooperated with the others, killing monsters so many times bigger than they were!

They also expertly knew where to stand, and no one was hit by sentries by accident (in contrast to theirs, sentries were less dense, but some people still got hit accidentally!)

This mob was much bigger than what they had been dealing with, and yet they were dealt with such ease—

What… where

are

they?!
