After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 841

Plaridel’s team, fortunately, passed their hurdle without any more worries except excessive sweating.

The same could not be said about the other team though.

While Plaridel’s group was about to reach the safety of the walls, the other group led by Turbo encountered a couple of extra problems.

They had a bit of a run-in with another party from the newly-minted New Shrao Village.

Actually, because of the strength of the Alterran team members, the other party would have just backed away. Their lord was in the vicinity, also mapping the place, and it’d have been dangerous to get into a skirmish at this time.

In contrast, it was Alterra’s side who was in an explosive mood, ready to fight the other party even when unprovoked.

For one, the other team had slaves around them. They had weapons and were filled with wounds. They looked weak, but they fought on because that was what slaves do.

"You promised not to hurt those who don’t fight you!" Bianca yelled, having befriended a few survivors from Vismont before.

She had also heard about Matthew’s conditions back then, and because Shrao immigrated to Vismont, they had hoped that the territory’s owner simply changed while the rest of the citizens remained the same.

To be honest, this was also to make themselves feel better. Due to everything that was happening, they had to ignore this new territory. Besides, they knew that as a subsidiary, it couldn’t really attack them in wars.

This was partnered with the various wars ongoing at the time and the oncoming heat wave, they simply had too much on their plates.

Now, they knew that they thought too idealistically.

The Alterrans looked badly at the Shrao Villagers, ready to fight for their brethren.

"You lied, so you better give them back if you don’t want to be attacked."

In fact, those with clearer eyes could see the slaves weren’t entirely cannon fodders. They were still given decent weapons and a chance at life. They simply weren’t protected. If they were strong enough, they would still survive.

It was still more humane than what they heard, but how could they feel comfortable?

Anyway, the Alterrans were quite hostile and, if one didn’t have context, people would think they were bullies.

Shiro remained still as he stared at them, an arm raised to keep his team from exacerbating the situation.

"I did not lie," he said with a passive expression on his face. "These people were the ones who fought against us."

At the very least, he didn’t enjoy torturing others. He just did it because he felt it was the practical course of action.

"They deserved it," Another voice said, approaching them from behind.

This was no other than Cain, obviously looking better than usual.

A certain Alterran saw him and immediately exploded.

"YOU BASTARD!" Crow yelled, lunging forward, but was held down by a few people next to him.

If their team lead—Turbo— didn’t approve of a battle, then they couldn’t start a fight on their own.

Cain looked at them in interest. "Do we know each other?" _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}
