After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 810

"An elementalist!!" one yelled. They were a little surprised.

None of the Alterrans actually had to show off their elements during their stay, so the newcomers naturally weren’t privy to it.

However, they were mercenaries in the end. Although surprised and intimidated, they gathered themselves and didn’t allow their momentum to lower, otherwise—and they could feel it with their instincts—it’d get too dangerous.

As such, the enemy team continued to send a flurry of attacks to the guards and the goblins, with the guards doing their best to protect the little things behind them.

"WAAA!"

The goblins couldn’t bear being shielded so much, so they grouped together to deal with the men, each one with at least a dozen goblins. Before they could drown the men in numbers, however, the men would wave their swords, stabbing at them.

It felt a bit of a pity, as damaged merchandise would sell for less. Anyway, if the goblins didn’t die directly, they would heal fast, and would still be worth something.

"WAAAA!"

Pupu watched as the sharp sword was about to stab him, but was pulled back by a strong hand. He watched as a burst of flames pounded on the man that were just about to stab at him.

Whoosh!

"AHHH!"

"Another one!"

At this point, every guard had their hands full with at least 1 enemy. Everyone sent here was above level 10, so this meant every and each one of them was elementalists.

"So many?"

They were shaken, but they refused to back down. They had a reason to be arrogant! After all, only Mao was (barely) level 20, while there were a handful of them just in their team. They were all fighting mercenaries too so the weaker Alterrans definitely did have a bit of trouble.

However, as a bit more time passed, they came to realize… none of the Alterrans were being taken down! On the contrary, it was their side who was slowly dying off.

How could these men be reconciled? And it so happened that he saw a signal from the peripheral of his vision and he couldn’t help but feel relieved, and he smiled smugly at the enemies despite his poor state.

"Heh! And do you think it’s only us?!" the man yelled, and after struggling to keep themselves up—becoming bloodier and bloodier as the minutes ticked by—the shrubs around rustled as more people arrived.

About a dozen of men appeared, and none of them were weak.

This was the Yutot Mercenary Team—or the rest of them, to be more accurate. They had been following the group closely, so they arrived shortly after the others made a move.

At least half of them were in their level 20s, mostly new recruits from Voumi Town. They were not that special there, but in a village, they were definitely powerhouses.

If Baltimore wasn’t in such a rush to take over, maybe he’d have waited for their return before attacking—not that it would’ve changed anything, of course.

They looked greedily at the goblins and licked their lips. They couldn’t be arrogant outside, but here they had the confidence!

Plus… so many elementalists! To capture elementalists, it was best to take them while their levels were low!

They really won big this time, they thought.

The goblins shook at their appearance, instinctively afraid. This was especially so because these people were one of their main torturers back in Guia Village.

This made Shon even more arrogant. "Heh, stop struggling and obediently come with us and you will keep your lives." He said so as if level was all that mattered.

It usually was because people here—when they realized they were inferior in level—would become guarded and scared. Their momentum would lower and the will to fight was often gone.
