After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1198

Limestone Valley.

At this time, Limestone Valley was doing the last bits of preparation. They were finalizing the positioning of their forces, making sure their alarms and alerts—like the flares—were all working and complete.

The new aborigine hires sent by Alterra even before the announcements were also roaming around, familiarizing themselves with the scope assigned to them.

Now that the level of the monsters was higher, even Limestone citizens didn't have to go too far to hunt. However, the average level was still dangerous so relatively powerful aborigines were still needed to safeguard lives.

Initially, there were four of them, namely: Wodan, Zeo, Elof, and Sapur, two of whom were some of Alterra's first hires at this level. Some had occupations, too, making them quite the good hires.

The choices for Towns were really different, Althea would muse every time she got a good one.

Wodan was a level 15 swordsman, around 30 years of age. He had a very dark complexion and a half-bald hairdo. He hadn't been here for long, but he had already made quite the impression among the locals with his rather perenially depressed face.

He would always assure people—with the same aforementioned dark face—that it was simply like that and he was actually an approachable guy.

Zeo, on the other hand, was a level 15 Spearman. He had wavy dark blue hair that looked so soft people would want to touch it. It was currently tied into a bun.

He was not strikingly handsome, but he had good features that were pleasing to see. Combined with his unusual (for Terrans) hair color, he got himself a few admirers even after only a few days, especially among the T-pop (Terran Pop) fans.

Eloff was a level 15 archer with light-brown hair combed at the middle. He seemed like quite the jolly guy and—despite the four of them not knowing each other before being hired in Alterra—he was practically best friends with them all now.

Finally, there was Sapur, who was another level 16 swordsman. Sapur was a bald 30-year-old with a very buff body. According to Garan, he focused more on a defensive style, so he functioned more as a Tank than an actual melee fighter.

This was also why he was still sent here. Even if he was above the level cap, his style wasn't inherently aggressive, so he could still be very useful even with the war limitations.

When they arrived more than a day prior, they were already assigned their own teams. They didn't expect to enter a war so soon though, which was fine, especially since it was a village.

Eloff and Sapur were just hired in Alterra a few days ago. Like everyone, they couldn't believe it when they found out the territory was a village just a few days prior. However, they were quick to adjust especially with the welcoming atmosphere there and they were already settling down when they received the reassignment notice.

Unlike the other two—who at least had more than a week to stay—they had only enjoyed Alterra for a few days. Very sad.

They were naturally very reluctant when they found out they would get dispatched to a satellite, but a job was a job.

Fortunately, Limestone Valley was also very good—at least far superior to other villages they knew of the same level.

The living conditions were great and there was also a rich economy and a variety of shops and stalls to choose from.

They also had their own large marketplace in an open space near the mountainous areas. It was apparently so people who came from the mine could quickly access them.

In any case, even if they hadn't been here for long, even the aborigines felt the need to protect it—let alone the locals who had been here for a year.

To think that this place started as a cursed place for many of them. How have things changed!

Anyway, the array would be opened within a few hours. They were all very nervous but they were trying to be as prepared as they could be. Still, there were a few things that were not going to plan.

"Isn't Alterra sending a few more forces to assist?" Victor asked, a bit worried.

They were currently overseeing the preparations near the gates, and when they asked the people on the battlement if they had seen a group of people approaching, they felt very concerned when they said the negative… again.

Henry nodded, also feeling heavy. "They should've arrived by now…"

Fortunately, the two didn't have to wallow in worry for too long. About half an hour later, news of their arrival had reached the two.
