After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1263

"Arrows are raining down!" a new guy screamed, pointing at the rain of arrows coming straight at them.

Instead of panicking with him though, most looked at him oddly. "You weren't listening during the orientation were you?"

"..."

For one, they had developed much more advanced crossbows with faster shots and stronger damage. It wasn't that they couldn't also rain down arrows on them, they just wanted them closer so the accuracy was higher.

For the most part, they wanted to kill only those who were really deserving of it. Some killing of innocents might be unavoidable, but if they were to choose, they'd definitely want to use their projectiles on evil instead of attacking randomly.

However, that wasn't what they were using when a rain of projectiles came down on them.

The battlement had railings and it wasn't only the ballista bolts that had been installed there. There were also some metal alloy shields located in several areas of the walls and people could hide behind them in cases like these.

The stronger visitors would just wave the attacks away with their weapons, so they wouldn't need to squeeze in, while those who could still get affected would conceal behind them.

For example, there was Raphten, Brenda's friend, who was part of the former. He waved to neutralize the arrows heading in his direction, and his partner did the same.

The two of them returned here for Brenda's wedding, but ended up overstaying. Who could blame them? Anyone who stayed long enough in Alterra wouldn't be able to bear staying outside anymore. They had experienced this the first time they had been here. The adjustment back to 'normal' was painful, to say the least.

They found that it was not entirely due to the material things, as they had thought. Rather than the food, beauty, and convenience—which were all amazing—they also felt a sense of belonging in the spiritual sense of the word.

Back in their home, they would never publicize their relationship at all. Most people would just think he and his partner were just good friends. When the rumor started spreading, they even made their lives miserable.

Here, they were shocked at how open and welcoming these people were with their… orientation. Rather, they barely took note of it at all.

They could hold each other's hands like normal couples, and no one would care much. There were definitely a lot of people who'd furrow their eyebrows, but they wouldn't stare too long and just ignore them, not making them comfortable with their own opinions.

There were also those who asked curiously about their relationship, completely open about it—even excited, for some reason.

They, too, were tempted to move in, but both of their families had integrated too much into Glaston. It would take a while and perhaps a carriage full of souvenirs to bribe the family to move here.

Anyway, regardless of what happened—whether they'd really move in or not—the Contribution Points they could get by joining this war would be useful for them.

There was the Contribution Store, the library, and the like, and they had always looked at those with longing every time they went there. If they performed well in this war, then they'd be able to patronize those places like many others!

While the stronger aborigines and guards neutralized the projectiles in their sectors, those with weaker levels were running to shield themselves.

However, because the battlement wasn't too wide, a few areas became bottlenecks. The people were not limited to Alterrans, but also aborigines, so they were a lot more prone to panicking and blocking the way.

"Oi! What are you doing standing there? Go here, go here!"

"Hey, don't push me!"

"Here!"

"Hey!" _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}
