After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 645

She had long decided to keep the accounts of the two territories different, but it seemed like she’d have no choice but to invest a bit of Altera’s funds here. Of course, when Limestone Valley stabilized, then she’d take that back with interest.

Speaking of which, they’d need trustworthy, capable, and sincere individuals to handle the village in their stead. While she could remotely see the status of the village and access the warehouse, she couldn’t divide herself, right?

Even with Altera alone—along with her babies (husband included) and experiments—she couldn’t find enough time, let alone managing another territory.

"Do you think Vincent and the others would be able to handle the territory?" She asked. Although they were granted temporary stewardship before, it wasn’t anything final yet because she technically ’didn’t have the power’ to decide that, let alone the fact that it was agreed upon before the two territories merged.

Regardless, that group was really the best option for now. They knew the place well and had already been somewhat attached to it.

Garan nodded, "They should. They told me they’re joining the Mercenary Team, so we can add several layers of oath."

This was really great news for the Mercenary Team. Victor’s team was comprised of more than 20 soldiers. Though most of them came from other territories and countries, they were confident to increase solidarity.

There was no Edenian or other countries here anymore, only Terran. Rather, just Alteran.

Anyway, they really needed more soldiers. Although they were indeed strictly training the guards, they needed trained individuals to handle the current threats.

Putting a deeper discussion of that into the agenda, the couple continued to peruse the surroundings of the village to reach the limestone mines. Since the war, the operations here had naturally paused, leaving empty cave systems all around.

They also had to clear quite a few beasts as they perused the place. They were apparently attracted by the dense smell of humans in the place.

There were not a few monsters there and they could imagine that monsters often haunted the workers while they mined.

"This is not near the territory," Althea said, looking at the terrain. It wasn’t too far either—only about a few kilometers from the territory—but a lot could happen in between. She reckoned a lot of slaves perished during the travel to and fro alone, let alone dealing with the damned beasts when they were already here.

They couldn’t build anything with the system and it would be impractical to build defensive walls manually as well.

"This would’ve been easy for goblins," Garan said, sighing, "I’m sorry wife."

Althea’s eyebrows rose as he looked at him. "What for?"

"If I had kept the goblins…"

The goblins were not only great diggers, they could also create a tunnel system of sorts for the logistics. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Garan told her more about Guia VIllage, and about how he had a choice to bring goblins. They’d have been useful if he captured them instead of letting them go.
