After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1055

A/N: Posting an extra chapter today guys! It’s my way of sending thanks to everyone for their support! We already vacillate between T1 and T2 GT Rank during the 1st week of the month, which is a good sign!

As always, for the following Sundays, I will post extra chaps (I’ll try three, though it depends on my day job xD) if the book is T1 that day!

Again, I can’t guarantee how many I’ll post in the end because... life... but I can guarantee I’ll do my best!

Althea was very surprised that the war did not even last a few hours. She knew it wouldn’t last long, but… this was too easy, right?

At this time, she was in the medicine factory helping out with their stockpile. At some point, someone from the guard team went to fetch her, speaking of the standstill.

She was led to the section of the walls where the enemies were visible. Oslo made stairs for her and she gracefully climbed up, joining them in looking over to the enemies a bit more than 100 meters away.

Her husband was already there, crossed arms, and she stood next to him.

She looked at Oslo and Brenda, with the latter ready to check the performances of the new longbows. These were permanent additions to the battlement, and were placed at equidistant areas to reinforce the sentries.

They weren’t able to test them out this time, which seemed to disappoint a few people, judging by how they were pouting. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

These war freaks…

Anyway, there were other people there as well, with some holding a new electric megaphone in their hands. These were the current top-of-the-line products from the research center and could reach more than a hundred meters on a clearing.

They must’ve done a bit more amplification now if the sound was clear past 100 meters of forest.

Anyway, they probably did a lot of threatening with it for the enemy to give up so quickly.

"How does surrendering work, anyway?" she asked.

If one was on the defense, she just assumed that the defending territory just wouldn’t guard against the entry of the enemies—eventually leading to their loss.

But what of the attacking territory? She thought that they would simply stop attacking and wait for the 28 hours to end, but apparently, there was a way to give up earlier. She didn’t think anyone would do it, either—especially within an hour of attacking.

She hadn’t encountered the situation before so she wasn’t entirely clear on the rules and subtleties involved there.

She did not expect to receive the familiar ding before anyone could answer her question though.

[Alterra Village (Lv3) has won against Yasof Village (Lv3)]

[Gained! 2421 Gold, 13210 Silver, 422219 Copper]

[Gained! 11212 New Slaves]

"..."

Not bad?

According to the information they gathered so far, a village’s wealth could range from the pitiful 100 Gold at Level 1 to around four to five thousand gold at Level 3, though richer ones could have thousands more.

However, those villages tended to have cities backing them, there was definitely no place like Alterra, that could make more than that on its own.

On the other hand, the population of higher-tier villages ranged from 10,000 to 30,000, and some older ones that couldn’t upgrade could saturate to even more.

Oslo said there were a few villages with 50,000 people, and those villages were like slums all throughout.

Anyway, considering these ranges, then Yasof Village was quite above the average village.

"Can anyone decide for the territory when to give up?" she asked. This time, it was Brenda who answered.

"No, Miss Althea," she said. "It was the Lord who probably went to his Village Center and declared the loss there."

Her eyebrows rose at this. Considering the timing, it seemed that people immediately went back through the array to tell the lord that they gave up? And the Lord gave up without asking questions?
