After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1315

"YOU JERKS YOU DARE TARGET MY MOTHER!" she yelled, looking at the enemy who was pushing against guards to get into the door.

[Skyfall Pierce]

Gwen yelled out a fierce yell as she leapt high into the air, her spear slicing through the wind. With precision and skill, she brought it down in a powerful arc, channeling all her weight into the strike as she landed.

BANG!

"AHH!"

"Damnit!"

This man was past level 20, a good five levels above Gwen, but he was pushed away by the skill. It was a lovely inheritance she received after reaching level 15, and it allowed her to create strikes far beyond her level.

She stood in front of the guardhouse with the others and took over a sector. She swung wildly, making sure no one would get inside.

The Guard House was naturally very secure with minimal fenestration. It just had a small central courtyard to ensure there was natural ventilation and good lighting. Some of the more important functions and warehouses were also on a basement floor, and this included the place where Mathilda currently was.

Mathilda, at this time, was busy monitoring all the aether letters, making sure to pass on news everywhere in a timely manner. After all, sending them randomly where the messages were not needed would only delay movements.

She was also there to calm down the monitoring guards, as well as create instructions that would lead, but not panic, the receivers.

She was no doubt focused on the movements outside rather than her own, so it was up to them to clear out the enemy in this area.

Gwen's team followed her lead and they joined the valiant fight against the enemies targeting the precious elder.

Gwen and her team worked well. While she provided swift and skillfully executed mid-ranged attacks, her team would either serve as shields or engage in close combat.

For a while, they managed to defend the Guard Station like this.

But of course, Gwen had just landed level 16. How much damage could she inflict on those with much higher levels than hers?

But the priority was defense, so that didn't matter as much.

Things changed when a few powerhouses arrived at the site.

One of the enemies who arrived was a level 29 man called Pudek. He had been one of the stair defenders, and he went against some aborigine mercenaries Alterra hired.

One of the main instructions—by that guy Fargo—to certain people was that if they still hadn't gotten through the walls and they were without hope after 3 hours, then everyone above level 30 shall target all the Elders and pry the Token away from them. Pudek was not yet level 30, but he believed he was close enough.

This was why, at some point, every level 30 was just bolstered up over the 5-meter fence. Though many of them were stopped by the mercenaries or the powerful guests, Basset Town pretty much mobilized almost all of their level 30s for this war, so not everyone could be captured.

Again, this was Fargo's recommendation. He had managed to gather support because even if the creation of the explosive failed, the fact was that the accidental explosion still killed their level 28 Weaponsmith was telling of how much power it had.

This also meant that the enemy must not be underestimated. More importantly, if Basset could control that power, as Fargo claimed, they naturally wanted to make sure they won this war.

Pudek saw a mere woman kick one of his teammates. Though the man had long stood up, it was annoying how a woman half his level was still standing for more than 10 seconds in this battlefield.

He disappeared in place and appeared next to Gwen.

Bang!

"GWEN!"

Gwen was kicked in a direction, and her attacker disappeared again before the Alterrans could mob him.

Gwen's protective charm had been activated by that attack so she was undamaged. However, Pudek wasn't planning on letting her go and prepared another attack while she was displaced.

This time, Gwen was able to hold her spear in front of her for defense, though the man used a skill, directly attacking her with his sword.
