After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 739

Eventually, his eyes saw one of his cronies lying on the floor, groaning. Seeing as he wasn’t dead, he looked at Piko, who immediately ran and guided Seto up. He wasn’t injured, but he was filled with dust.

"What happened?" He asked and Seto shook his head, forcing some lucidity. "And why are there fewer slaves than I sent?" By estimate, even if they received this damage, it should’ve been mostly slaves. He saw a lot of his guards amongst the injured!

Seto took a deep breath before he answered. "A lot of them were eaten by mobs, milord."

"What?"

"A beast mob was waiting right outside the array. Our people did not expect it, so even if the mob wasn’t particularly strong, they caused sizable damage to our forces."

"We haven’t even gotten near the sentry scope!" Ero yelled, while Baltimore was quiet, deep in thought.

Around him, people had tried to regain their bearings with the leading team trying to analyze what to do next.

Guia Village had thousands of population and due to the nature of its industry, most of these people were guards and their families. Slaves weren’t counted as residents, but he also had thousands of them.

He had already mobilized a big part of his forces to deal with Alterra, thinking it was better to be safe than sorry, but what was this?

"These aren’t monster injuries!" Ero said, looking around. There were many injuries that were characterized by burns. Lower leveled individuals were burned to crisps.

The explosives?

Alterra really had explosives!

Why would another village have one? Did they have the backing of a city?!

This made sense! How else could a village be as good as a town!?

But, during their investigations, there was nothing of the sort came out. They had only heard some hired individuals coming from the cities, but that was it!

Did they still underestimate their connection with the cities? Which was it?!

He wasn’t able to analyze further because people around him started screaming again.

At this, they paled as they looked at the sky. "Flying rocks! More flying rocks!" they cried, struggling to stand up and run. "They’re here again! AHHH!"

"There! Another one!"

"Two!!"

"Gyahhh!"

Baltimore and the other strongmen moved by instinct, far from the landing spot. In their shock, they could only watch as the flying rocks landed on their people. Some exploded, while some did not.

BANG!

BOOM! _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

BANG!

They watched as dozens more of their people were hit, the weaker ones died under the explosion and a few were injured by the non-explosive rocks.

He noticed that the explosive ones were made of black rock, while most of the others were just earth.

A few more flew towards them and Baltimore immediately gathered himself, using a lot of his strength to create a boulder to meet the rock, catching it and softening its fall.

He had to do this because the rocks came with such force that it wasn’t possible for him to use his ability to catch it directly. Fortunately, there were really no more explosives, just rocks.
