After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 759

Before heading out, Althea put an aether letter telling the elders of her plans and to settle the prisoners well. She also asked to handle the slaves and make them swear oaths to never harm the territory, even after they freed themselves.

Of course, she also mentioned that they could not drop their guards until the announcement was received. People could still attack them after all. What if there were still rats hidden, waiting to strike?

"Wait," Garan said as they headed out the gate. He brought her to Baltimore’s corpse and took out a long knife, beheading him.

He took out a tissue paper from his space to hold the head in, and he wrapped him in some dirty rags to keep his dirty blood from bleeding in his wife’s space.

"So people believe they have already lost," he told her. She nodded, placing it in her space. This would be her ’entrance ticket’ if they needed it.

Because they hadn’t retrieved the token yet, there was no announcement.

Strictly speaking, if the rest of the enemy territory citizens below the level cap would go through the array and get inside the territory alive—if the number somehow reached more than half of the overall participants—then they could still win.

Hence, in their case, until the entire 28 hours were completed, they hadn’t officially won yet—not unless they got their hands on that token.

Although it was only Althea, Luis, and a few others who went in to maintain low-key entry to Guia, it didn’t mean those beyond wouldn’t do anything else. For one, they still needed to send stronger individuals there even if the travel would take days.

If they managed to secure the place, then there would be a need for trusted stewards to watch over the place. If there wasn’t, then it was a good chance to get as much Iron as they could (and maybe even get some more goblins) before the Master Territory messed things up for them.

Gill also stepped forward. "I’ll go there with a few people, Captain, but I may not go back for a while." After the war, he hoped to get to Cassandra. Judging by the consolidated maps, Guia was on the way to Jacoba Town.

Garan nodded, assigning the forces to go to Guia Village as soon as possible. After that, he would go around the place to check for leaks and escapees around the territory. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

For a territory like Guia, they had to cut all roots they could not control.

…

Guia Village.

At this time, several guards gathered by the gates. One, to do their jobs, second, to gossip.

"What do you think happened?" One asked, recalling the major orders a few hours back. The guards looked bloody and scared and they could tell the enemy—Alterra Village—was a lot stronger than they thought.

Pretty much all of their fighting forces were called in, leaving a handful of guards to maintain the territory.

While the guards looked worried, they comforted themselves. "It’s a challenge sure, but it means the loot is higher."

"Ah, that’s true."

Guia Village had never lost before, and the people didn’t have the concept of it.

They continued chattering until the array lit up. "They’re here!" one said, looking forward to the triumphant return—likely with new slaves.
