After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1200

Meanwhile, standing around the area being targeted, a certain group watched with interest as the attack went on. Interestingly, they were not from Inko Village at all.

Rather, they were from the allied Lopi Village. They had been asked by the Master Town to help out with the attack since they were nearby.

It was headed by the heir to the Lordship, Parek, who had once led the attack to Diana Village nearly a year prior.1

Even until the last second, the people about to be hit had no idea they were being targeted.

Parek and his cronies watched the human mobs nearing the walls, trying to determine the best place to sneak inside.

Most territories that got elementalists kept things a secret so they could keep most instead of having to sell to the master territory, unlike Inko.

While they did sell some people to avoid suspicion, they still kept much of their elementalist loot during the Diana War. They mixed the slaves they sold with the weakest slaves they knew would be dying anyway.

When Voumi realized the loot were elementalists, they would say they sent everyone back then, and that was that.

Unlike Inko, they had the ambition to eventually grow stronger than the master someday—which had become possible with the injection of elementalists in their population.

They had been training them for months, and hundreds had already awakened their elements. This was a top-secret operation known only to the most trusted individuals, because they knew someone would tell Voumi Town on them.

If that happened, they were afraid Voumi would find a way to replace the Lord with someone who was a lot less ambitious.

Recently, their territory determined the elementalists could be used in a war, and they did so, declaring war on another 'alien' village about a week ago!

With the elementalist slaves' help, they won in less than half a day! It was a bit difficult, however, because the other side also had elementalists. However, they didn't have the advantage of teaming up with thousands of aborigines so they lost in the end.

Like this, they got thousands of new elementalists! They could already see this number increasing as they trained more and more of these people, their power just growing bigger and bigger!

Of course, for this war, they did not bring a single one. After all, they were keeping it a secret, and it would have reached Voumi Town sooner rather than later if they brought well-trained ones.

He was literally just here for 'attendance', bringing the bare minimum required for allies to assist. His mind was still in the future, where Lopi Village would become Lopi Town! He could see it happening in less than a decade now, maybe even less!

It was just that his grin faded almost instantly when he saw a black projectile heading their way.

Rather, directly at him. He didn't know what it was, but his instinct was telling him he was screwed.

Well, Orcshit.

…

…

…

BOOM!!

The moment it struck, a fiery shockwave rippled amidst the mob, causing the ground to shake and most to lose their balance.

A few people were killed directly, and at least a dozen were injured.

One of the more gravely injured ones was the son of the lord, heir to the lordship!

"MASTER PAREK!!"

The guards nearby, after shaking away the shock of the explosion, cursed and ran to him. They showered him with their healing potions until the bleeding stopped. However, an entire arm and part of his shoulders was unrecognizable.

"DAMNIT!" the lead guard yelled, also looking at the corpses of a few others. The war had barely even started—

BOOM!
