After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1203

Meanwhile, a few more leaks opened up. This time, it was an area near the arrays. This was because stronger enemies had appeared again—newcomers from the array—and immediately the elites' hands were full.

Enemies started pouring into this area, and the guards immediately lit up a flare to tell everyone another major leak had formed.

As per training, certain teams would go there to assist, reinforcing the fighters in this area in hopes of containing the chaos there.

The locals met the enemies trickling down the walls, and intense melee combat immediately exploded.

The archers waiting from the roofs shot people down, while the shieldsmen would block the access—and their teammates—with their shields.

As a team, they'd push back the trespassers as much as they could. Everyone had limited energies so they would only use their elements—assuming they were awakened—only when it was absolutely necessary.

They stabbed the enemies with their swords and spears, all while keeping them within the easements. Those assigned in this zone blocked the enemies' path—preventing them from going deeper in the territory, preventing them from causing more damage, or finding hiding places.

They were still within the scope of the sentries too. However, the sentries were designed to prioritize hitting those outside rather than inside.

After all, each one still had a cool down. If the sentries started shooting enemies who got in, it would ultimately just make it easier for enemies from outside to enter.

The ultimate goal of the war was to keep the adversaries out, not kill those that entered. While the latter would help, that was too many extra steps than just blocking enemies' way inside.

If things got too much though, the teams would then lead the adversaries into certain streets where various traps were set up and where citizens—even those attacking from their homes—were waiting to sabotage.

Some fell for it, particularly the lower-levelled ones, but many did not. After all, Terrans had been in Xeno for so long, and naturally many strategies had already leaked to the enemies or enemies-to-be.

In most cases, the locals simply had to hold up their shields and they'd greatly reduce the injuries they had to sustain while blocking enemy path.

This was in contrast to the enemy side, who, while equipped, lacked decent gear compared to the locals. Over time, the locals chipped away at their equipment's durability—or directly at their health and spirit—taking them down one by one.

However, despite their efforts, the enemies' number still felt endless, and—unless they blocked that breach—more and more would just come in and replace the ones they took down.

Speaking of leaks, those from the other side could tell where their people opened a path and created a weakness. They naturally aimed to take advantage of this.

Outside, one of the team leads held up a slave as a shield—gasping as a sentry arrow passed through the body and hit him—and ordered his people to focus on that spot.

"Widen the opening! Attack!!"

More and more of their forces focused on those openings, pushing away the guards. A new stair was even added to allow more people in.

BANG!

Another explosion, this time only a meter away from him. It was enough to blow him a meter and fall down on his face.

"Damnit!!" he cursed as he felt his ears ringing, and he cursed even more when people stepped over him without care! Damnit!!

"AHHH!" he screamed as he forced himself up, pushing away the bastard stepping on him at the moment. At the same time, he knew he could not stop or he'd be pushed so he moved forward, eyes on the prize.

He climbed up the ladder as quickly as he could, moving just in time to avoid another arrow—he didn't know where it came from anymore—which ultimately killed the person next to him.

He gulped, he didn't care, just focused on getting inside and finding a house to hide in!

As soon as he stepped on the battlement, he immediately jumped inside, not caring how he'd land.

This was a good thing because several boulders of rock the size of a child floated on that section of the battlement, sweeping away those trying to get in.

"AHHH!"

"NO!!"

He could hear his allies scream as they were pushed back to the outside, falling to their backs and probably stepped on by hundreds.
