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

There were indeed breaches in different areas of the territory, but there were very few—embarrassingly few.

For the most part, the enemies were kept outside. This was especially true when the people ’blocking the way’ were Alterra’s elite forces.

For example, there was Oslo and his earth walls. Using his earth wall, he’d create small mazes and blockages for the humans, keeping them with the monster mobs for a longer period of time.

They would be forced to fight for their lives, but then the last kill would be stolen by a random Alterran archer, making their eventual death feel even more meaningless.

(Alterran archers were definitely enjoying their assignments right now)

Of course, there were plenty of stronger monsters that their archers were not able to take down. In that case, after the monsters ate a few members of the enemy forces, Oslo would then create spikes that’d take their lives.

On another area, there were also the three orcs: Gochi, Baku, and Maomao, which—in addition to a few other stronger aborigines within the level cap—comprised one of the harshest defense lines they had.

This was because they guarded the Northern face, which was a bit mountainous. The enemy had been preparing for this war so there were actually thousands of people who went to attack here instead, including majority of the level 20s and above from the Rongo Mercenary Team sent to assist in the war.

While they did panic a bit when they encountered some town-level monsters, they managed to deal with them with their sheer number and strong forces.

At the same time, they realized what Alterra had done!

They upgraded to a TOWN right after they declared war!! Are they insane!?

If they made a slight miscalculation, this could’ve guaranteed their destruction!!

Now, they did not know how the other areas were going, but they knew they had to maximize their current situation.

By happy coincidence, they also knew the beasts in the area they were assigned to were also the fewest in number, so it was simply the perfect spot to breach.

It was just that they had no idea they’d have to deal with dozens of elementalists—let alone three half-orcs!!

Alterra had naturally predicted how the enemies would respond to the tribulation and assigned a lot of its forces concentrated in this area.

They also knew there would be a lot more human enemies here so, except for the three half-orcs and a few guards who were beyond the level cap, the rest of the forces here were still within it.

The half-orcs blocked the way of the mercenaries, while the weaker ones were too intimidated to mob them, just focusing on getting to the walls.

In theory, this had a chance of working.

After all, three against dozens of level 20s would be a long fight. In terms of numbers, they outnumbered the Alterrans in the battlement by tens of folds.

It was just that, the slightly hopeful situation did not last long.

They didn’t know how the enemies did it, but soon a group of monster mobs appeared right behind them. Some were level 13s to 15s, and the people nearby—all of whom were within the level cap—were crushed or eaten!

By that time, their stronger forces were already preoccupied with the half-orcs. They did not have the energy to deal with mobs!

Anyway, the people up front realized what was coming at them and became more desperate to get inside. But how easy could that be?

Among the elite guards in this area was Plaridel1, who waved around his fire shield, keeping everyone at bay. He would even create damned firewalls, burning people before they could even get near the walls.

There was also Minko1, whose shots were sure to kill anyone his level or below. His arrows—which seemed to leave a steaming track—could also kill monsters a few levels below him in one shot.

And finally, there was Leon1, whose swords were sharp but more lethal were the vines he created.

The impolite guy would make the people in the vanguard fall down. Even if there were not as many beasts in this area, a lot of them were still stopped even before they could reach the walls!

In the meantime, the half-orcs battles were ongoing.

With impressive cooperation, the three half-orcs rushed towards various enemies. Even if they were outnumbered by humans with higher levels—unlike the supposed ’intelligent race’ —they had each others’ backs.

They sent continuous explosive attacks to their enemies, using brute force and their natural instincts and accuracy to make up for the level gap.

At first, it was a bit more troublesome because the mercenaries still had working equipment and a lot of potions. However, as time went on, the battle of endurance tilted to the half-orcs side.

Not only that, the half-orcs also had their own healing potions that were formulated to fit their physiques!

Eventually, the tide completely turned and the mercenaries began to be harvested one by one.

If the person didn’t a decent equipment anymore, then they’d die immediately, if not then they’d be disabled and in pain.

In war, such injuries were a death sentence.

Gochi would swipe his enemies down with his sharp claws. If it was a troublesome elite, then he’d use his ability to paralyze them. Even if it worked just for a second—it was enough for him to inflict serious damage on the person.

Baku’s was even harsher. His ability, Roar, would stun everyone near him as long as they were below his level. He could be said to be harvesting heads easily.

And then there was the cutie Maomao.

Of course, her jumps and kicks were very uncute considering someone would practically be punctured if they didn’t have equipment or the level to defend against it.

Of course, the Alterrans were very biased.

”WHOA!”

”Maomao is still so amazing!”

”So explosive! Our cutie!!”

The rabbit blushed, and her ears twitched a bit. Her leaps became a bit more energetic though, making Gochi smile.

As for the rest of the people trying to go through the walls, they were kept in place by Plaridel and the others.

There was also Chris (and Essan), who were using their speed-based skills and equipment to safely run around, attracting monsters to the back of the crowd (whether it was on this side or elsewhere), trapping precious manpower to deal with their upgrade mob.

In any case, there were no more leaks other than those mercenaries and a handful of lucky people—who were all quickly captured as soon as they landed inside the walls.

This went on for another hour or so. While there were still a few thousands of people and monsters outside the walls—Althea eventually did receive the familiar notification in her head.

Ding!

[Alterra Village has won the war against Resso Village (Lv3)!]

[Received! 8261 New Population!]

[Received! 522 Gold, 13299 Silver, 1242002 Copper!]

Obviously, Resso Village invested a lot of money and manpower into this war, thinking the return would multiply it.

In any case, they were way too poor…

Althea sighed, looking at the hundreds of monsters still terrorizing their area.

While the war with humans was over…, it seemed like the one with the monsters was still some ways to go.
