After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 751

Back at the battlements, it was mostly well-guarded, but the enemies weren’t weak. The guards were quickly occupied by the stronger ones, allowing the enemies to enter as long as they had enough shields (inanimate or human) to get through safety.

Luis waved his fiery sword at them, keeping them from his side of the main barrier. He would also throw flames at the ladders he came across, but it felt like the enemies were endless in numbers and a new ladder would pop up soon after.

He didn’t get tired of doing it though. He had mana cookies in his space and he had been chewing on them for a while.

Fortunately, there were a lot of mana cookies in circulation amongst the guards. Apparently, Harold had figured out that he only needed to personally do certain processes in order to add the special effect on the cookie.

Hence, the cumbersome material preparation was left to a factory line, allowing a lot of cookies to be available outside of Althea’s party.

Whoosh!

"DAMN IT!" the raiders yelled as they saw their access burn up while they were climbing up. Luis never targeted the whole thing to save mana, but he always did choose strategic spots so it was sure to work. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

The makeshift stairs cracked and buckled, causing the intruders to fall into the crowd of their own people.

This went on for a bit and he travelled along the battlements. A signal flare lit up on another section and he rushed towards there to help. The signal flare was only set if the ratio of the enemies versus the number of guards there was too different, so Luis immediately knew where to prioritize.

He arrived about a few minutes later and saw a certain group composed mostly of Guian guards enter with their slave shields. He rescued a few guards who were battling against people with higher levels, kicking them off the walls.

He took a closer look at their access and his eyes twitched. It was still a makeshift ladder, but it was much sturdier and thicker. It reminded him of well-made fire exits. Obviously, they had worked on this a bit.

Too bad (for them) it’ll get destroyed soon.

He took fragile balls from his space. It had a lot of excess oil inside and it would shatter at a bit of contact.

Similarly, many citizens also tended to have some bottles of their preferred oil in their space.

Everyone had them for personal use, but also because they could get useful in fights. I.e. making the floor and the access slippery. They also had some to assist with fire users, who were the most common type of elementalists.

"Now!" Luis yelled as he nodded, and from behind him, several citizens threw thin bottles toward the men.

"WHAT!"

For a moment, it puzzled the enemies, but then they started mocking them for throwing random liquid.

This was, of course, until Luis threw his flames at them and watched them burn.

"GYAAAHHHH!"

"AHH!"

They happened to have a water elementalist who had been trying to whip away the blockage on his side (to little effect). He had to shift attention towards his teammates and doused them with water.

Unfortunately, the fuel was oil and pouring water… did not help at all. On the contrary, it help them spread out.

HISSSS

"AHHHH! NOOO!"

A lot of people lost their footing, with the weaker ones soon unmoving as they burned alive.
