After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1277

For the next hour or so, the state of the Basset Town forces would be either one of three things.

In the areas near the arrays, the Basset Town powerhouses near the array had to focus on clearing out the powerful beast mobs that suddenly appeared. Some of them were already inside beasts' stomachs.

Next, there were dozens of them who continued to fall down the gorge and get flushed away. Because the forces were so dense, some people inevitably got pushed into the water-filled gorge, and they could only count themselves lucky or unlucky.

Lastly, and the largest one, was battle at the front line. They were still in the tens of thousands, but every and each one of them had a certain degree of injuries in their bodies.

However, because their numbers and overall strength were great, they still held strong, continuously pushing towards the walls.

Alterra had a radius of approximately 3 kilometers and this meant that it—excluding the sentries— had over 18 thousand meters of wall to guard.

Considering not everyone in their population could directly fight in a war of this level and that there were people who still needed to guard the easements, make rounds, and hunt for leaks—this meant that there was a limited number of people who could stand on the battlements and keep the enemies from coming in.

Fortunately, there were actually hundreds of people past level 20 and several dozen people were past level 30 in Alterra.

Excluding the Golds and the soldiers, there were also mercenaries like Enok who were hungry for the contribution points.

Each one or pair was separated and set to guard certain areas of the walls and had been doing a good job so far. After nearly two hours of the war, there had only been a handful of leaks—most of which had been promptly handled.

There were three ways the Basset Town mob attempted to enter the territory.

First was jumping over the siege shields, second was using the earth users' platforms, and then there were also the classic ladders.

The siege shields were the most obvious ones and were relatively predictable.

The advantage was that they had prepared a lot of them and they could double as shields so, if Alterra didn't have powerhouses guarding so many parts of the wall, a lot more people would have already gotten through using them.

As for the earth users' platforms, they were quite sturdy. Baison was a civil engineer and he designed earth platforms that'd take a bit more mana for others to dismantle.

They could also be detracted and retracted—he was given quite a few mana potions—and could be easily moved wherever the strongmen were not.

The most flexible ones were, of course, the ladders.

In all strongmen's spaces, there were at least 2 retractable staircases, prepared by the Terran engineers in Basset Town.

When contracted, it wouldn't take too much space, leaving the rest of the space for essentials. However, once it was pulled out, it would extend several meters and was more than enough to assist their side in climbing over the unsalable 5-meter walls.

One end had a hook to attach it to the battlements, and its base had spikes that'd embed on the ground to keep it stable. Even if the earth elementalists added bumps, it might not be affected.

It would also extend horizontally so 3 people could enter at the same time, further stabilizing it due to the added weight.

Speaking of Fargo, he was now in an awkward position of being suspected!

He contributed so much to this war, but those shallow-minded aborigines didn't know to respect him just because his level was lower! They were even questioning his loyalty now after a few words from the enemy!
