After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1288

The leaks were harshest in the Western sectors. It was more or less defended similarly as the other areas far from the gates—with guards, ballista bolts, and the like—but the leader had a level 30 swordsman named Kon, and along with him were scores of level 20s.

They were part of the first batch of mercenaries who went through the array. The difference was, the entire mercenary team—established in Basset Town—wanted to wait until there were openings before they moved.

Imagine: Their team weakened by the long battle, and his group of a hundred mercenaries appeared to save the day!

They had seen a few of those flares pop up here and there, but somehow the chaos inside never seemed to be enough for them to sneak in safely.

After a while, he and his men had started to show impatience. "We need to move, Boss. If we lose, we're going to become slaves!"

His voice irked Kon very much. "Shut up!" he yelled. "Let me think!"

As one could see, his team's level was just strong for a level 1 Town, but It was not overwhelming that he wouldn't fear for his life. His mercenary team was relatively new and most people were barely in their level 20s, some even lower.

This was why they couldn't just go barreling through without fear. He would lose a lot of people from his mercenary team—something he invested a lot on, by the way—and that could include his own life!

Obviously, sending him and his entire mercenary team to lead an area was more of a diversionary tactic, for them to be sacrificed. But he never liked or respected that Fargo, nor would he willingly give his life to others at all!

"Boss, we take advantage!" he said. "After waiting for so long, aren't you hungry for blood?! Everyone should be weakened by now!"

This was Digong, a level 24 man who had a permanent sneer on his face. There was a maliciousness around him though, as he glared at the wall of the enemy territory.

He was here with a vindictive heart, aiming to get revenge for his brother, Temp, who died during the previous war with Alterra.

Kon looked at him and nodded, looking in the direction of Alterra. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

They waited for a few more flares to light up before finally heading in. Hopefully, all the powerhouses would leave this area even a bit more vulnerable.

"Grab a slave!" he yelled and they rushed over because their lives literally depended on it.

They worked fast and they barrelled through without looking back. Using random slaves as shields, they jumped over the access their predecessors created.

The siege shields had been mostly burnt, but there were some that could still provide a decent bolster.

Anyway, they were lucky because the forces really were stretched, with a lot of the powerhouses going towards the flares. They did not miss this opportunity and nearly two-thirds successfully managed to go through!

They jumped as far as they could and some directly went past the easements!

Alterra didn't make things easy for them at all, however.

The West and Southwest areas of the territory had dense housing areas, and there were a lot of evacuation houses set up here.
