After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 803

The next article was written by a man called Jeremiah. The article was about Alterra being attacked and taking over another village.

The headline stated ’Alterra’s New Satellite’, and it made a rough mention of them winning Guia Village—now Iron Mountains.

It was naturally not too detailed for fear of giving too much information, and it didn’t show exactly how the enemy was defeated.

What they did say was the strength of the enemy had an average level of level 10 or 11, and they had a lot of slaves including goblins. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

However, despite this, Alterra won with only injuries and material losses.

Their lord, a level 30+ earth user, was beheaded and his head was displayed in the original village for all to see.

This was extremely impressive and the soldiers longed to have been part of it.

The newspaper also mentioned that all the slaves had been freed in the sense that they wouldn’t be treated as such and they could buy their own freedom.

It was actually quite vague, compared to the first article, and understandably so.

The largest article however was written by Melinda, a professor in meteorology. Victor and Henry had naturally read this beforehand, and they watched as Benny read it out loud for the others, and they all similarly paled at its contents.

It outlined the steady increase in temperature the past few days, and how it was likely an Extreme Heat situation was imminent.

"Is this true?"

"It didn’t guarantee, but it’s best to be prepared. We all know something like that would happen sooner or later anyway."

He put the newspaper aside, which was taken by Vanessa, while Victor read the letter attached to it. They were too taken in by the contents of the newspaper earlier they hadn’t actually opened the letter yet.

His shoulders slumped in relief as he read the contents. "They’re sending goblins here."

"Goblins? The one we heard about?" The others looked at him, eyes sparkling a bit despite their worries, and he nodded to confirm.

"Yes, those goblins."

They were very curious. They had never seen other creatures before! Ah, there was the half-orc, but that was a passing acquaintance.

"They are supposed to help dig tunnels," he told them, "One was from the limestones to a new gate under the mountain—"

"So that’s what that gate was!" Benny said, clapping his hand.

When a gate that couldn’t be opened (because it was literally opening towards the mountains) appeared out of nowhere, they were very confused!

With this letter, they know why. Apparently, goblins would dig tunnels that would head straight to those embedded gates.

"Then they will also assist in creating cisterns and the like. Also attached is the methodology for creating saltpeter."

The detail of assistance lifted everyone’s hearts, their momentary fear of the incoming disaster dissipating by a huge lot.

Henry stood up and nodded, prepared to work. "We should have professionals here who could do this. Especially since we took in a lot of Terran refugees."

Ken and Benny nodded, standing up. "We’ll start hiring right away."

As such, the group distributed the work load with urgency but with a lot of hope. "To think we would feel prepared for something like this," Benny said. Although they had yet to implement anything, the fact that it felt they had control over it was already very good.

"True. The aborigines said it was always so sudden, most people couldn’t prepare at all."
