After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1259

The days passed by in a flash and the war cool down finally came to an end.

The Lord of Basset Town—possibly afraid that he'd get preempted again—declared war the moment he could.

[Basset Town (Lv1) has declared war against Alterra Town (Lv1). The War will commence in 13:59:59]

As soon as Althea received this announcement, a barrage of announcements resounded across the territory. This was followed by the first ring of the Bell Tower, indicating the countdown had begun.

[Announcement: Basset Town (Lv1) has declared war against Alterra Town (Lv1). The War will commence in 13:59:00]

[Announcement: Please refrain from leaving the territory lines from this point forward, even with a team.]

[Announcement: Gentle reminder to secure all of your belongings properly. Prepare yourselves and your families well.]

[Announcement: Everyone please prepare as much as you can and take a rest. It is assumed that this war will last a full 28 hours.]

[Announcement: Anyone who causes inconvenience, suspicion, and danger to the territory will be met with punishment according to the degree of sin or its potential damage. Anyone who reports a valid case will receive a reward upon verification and oath.]

[Announcement: All resources will be bought at 120% of their normal price. All weapons, equipment, healing and mana potions, and other essential items will be sold at 50% of their regular price. The purchase limit is retained in quantity, but renewable every 2 hours.]

[Announcement: A gentle reminder that all visitors are also entitled to receive Contribution Points. All visitors who wish to join in the war and contribute, please register in the village center and sign an oath valid for 1 day.]

These visitors who volunteered to help would be given a returnable colorful token they'd wear during the war. This was to help identify who was an ally or not.

It wasn't foolproof show of alliance, but they couldn't suspect every single non-citizen fighting for Alterra right?

That said, Alterra did not ask any of the subsidiaries and allies for help, though a lot of them would definitely be going on their own to receive precious Contribution Points from Alterra.

Alterra's rationale for not asking Ferrol was that if there was an imbalance in a transactional relationship, there could be quite a few changes and a lot of inconveniences. Alterra would always be on the advantageous side as long as it could help it.

Besides, calling on allied forces that might not fully care for Alterra might not be worth the costs.

At the same time, calling subsidiaries was actually quite affordable—it was their duty to help out a master territory. However, the Elders didn't want to call people to this risky war either. Instead, they just gave subsidiaries the same promises of contribution points and it would be up to them to take it.

Anyway, the announcement was definitely tempting to the many visitors that Alterra had—especially now that the Contribution Point requirement for everything had increased after Alterra became a Town!

They would not be risking their lives, but it should be safer with a few trusted people helping out together. Anyway, chances are: It'd be worth it.

This was especially true for the people within the level cap, which was almost everyone! After all, the points they could get when it was still a village were limited. Now, they could go wild.
