After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1110

Cassie had been too used to being looked down on, so nothing really bothered her. At the very least, Terran was a place where women could have their own high self-worth, so words from the ignorant didn’t affect her.

However, her people—especially the aborigine men—were more offended than she was. Understandably so.

It was not only for her sake, but also theirs. After all, if she was insulted, they—who were under her—were as well.

Stab! Stab!!

It happened quickly, but it felt like a lot of things happened. The Alterrans stabbed and stabbed until they hit a weakness and destroyed the enemy’s equipment.

Not to mention: Equipment… was a little more susceptible to Elementalist’s attacks.

Most of the guards were already awakened elementalists by now—something the enemy should know, but hadn’t encountered yet so even if they wanted to believe they were prepared—they actually weren’t.

They also underestimated how much knowledge was passed down from person to person here, regardless of their relationship. In such an environment, how could an elementalist not learn at least one skill before joining the war?

In some wise man’s quote: "They are akin the babies pulling a tiger’s beard."

Blissfully ignorant.

So when they were showered by elements and trapped within the shields, their hearts were actually shocked.

"AHHHH!"

"NOO!"

"STOP IT!!!"

The men screamed as they were showered not just with physical attacks but also by various elements. They naturally struggled, but what could the three of them do with such a barrage but try to push through?

Someone tried to jump over, too, but he was immediately barraged by elements and spears from below. Because he was in-air, he was not able to defend himself at all!

He fell down and used much of his remaining strength to join the others. There was strength in numbers in the end, though in their case they ended up using each other as meatshields.

While trying to find ways to escape, they pushed the others, and they did the same. It was idiotic and it looked more like they were headless flies.

At the same time, what else could they do but delay their deaths?

They were actually more unlucky than those outside. At this point, the Alterrans knew that most of the fights would stop outside the walls, so there was no need for them to hold back too much.

They could torture these bastards as much as they wanted.

A couple of minutes later, the three mercenaries were filled with wounds, holes, and burns, and only their upper chest to head areas—which were defended by either Class E or Class D Defense equipment remained intact.

Barely.

At some point, their equipment gave way and they were now officially half-dead.

This was in sharp contrast to the Alterran Guards, who only lost a bit of mana.

The Alterrans did not take a second and started attacking. Two of the mercenaries succumbed almost immediately, while one’s eyes turned red and he went berserk.

He felt he was going to die—something he really didn’t believe would happen when he accepted the mission—but now that he was, he was determined to take someone with him!!

He lunged towards them with his final bit of life. He no longer had weapons—it was destroyed during the barrage—but he was intent on tackling and pounding at least one to death.

It so happened that some people let down their guards when they saw two had already perished. Some parts of the shield wall had visibly slacked, and he took advantage of this to take his last shot.
