After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 898

All over the world, territories had started waging war with others. Whether they were the defenders or the attackers, no one escaped the tragedies of war this time.

After all, it had been two weeks since the disaster started. Everyone was parched, famished, and very, very, desperate.

The citizens had no choice but to join in these wars. Everyone within the level limit—that was to say, everyone—went through the array to attack.

Belluga was now undergoing war with their old enemy—Khlack Village. It made sense for this village to attack them during this time.

After all, one was for revenge, and the other was because they were the easiest target among the territories associated with Alterra, which had the resources these people wanted.

Raine rubbed her temple and looked at her confidantes, Suide and Orlande, who were Kimmy’s other husbands. They were currently wearing the insulation suits they bought from Alterra.

They could not afford to equip the other guards with the same suits, so they built wide makeshift roofs that hung on the battlement instead. It was still boiling, but the direct exposure to the sun was limited.

Suide sighed, his perennially sleepy eyes looking down at the battlement. His bow and arrows had not rested since the beginning of the war, and he could only fire arrows at whoever.

"They never end," he said. His voice was droning but, if one knew him close enough, one could tell there was tension in his tone.

The dark-skinned Orland waved his weapon as he took down another set of enemies trying to climb up the walls.

He sighed, looking at the enemy’s poor states, feeling the desperation in their attack. "This is probably their last attempt."

The war started a few hours in the afternoon with the enemies going full force from the get-go. This was probably in order to capture their territory before night time, where they’d have to deal with the monster mobs as well.

This meant that the sun was up when they attacked, and everyone felt like they were being boiled alive. Of course, they chose a time near dusk to minimize this, but the death count of the enemy was not small.

"It’s annoying," Suide mumbled with that lazy tone of his, but anyone who knew him would see his annoyance. "Too hot."

Naturally, a lot of the attackers didn’t last long even when they weren’t killed by weapons—the heat would get to them instead.

They managed to go for so long because there were so many of them. Specifically, so many slaves.

A pity that those bastards who attacked them before—the people who did that to Kimmy—weren’t even from Khlack, delaying their revenge.

Then again, it wasn’t the time yet. They were still so weak after all.

In the meantime, the Bellugans, including their new slaves, dropped rock after rock down the wall to deal with those who reached it. It was particularly fulfilling to see their slaves, whom they got from Khlack, helping them out.

Of course, the Bellugan citizens didn’t just stand under this dangerous heat unprotected.

They had bought a lot of heat-resistant hats and coats, effective sun lotions from Alterra, as well as some cooling packs. The slaves would make do with the shade, which was already much better than their former compatriots under the direct sun.

The Bellugans definitely had it much better than their enemies. However, how many items could they buy? Not to mention, these things could get damaged during the fight…

Anyway, they were, frankly, running out of sun protection.

When more people neared the wall, Suide immediately shot a few more arrows, killing more and more people who seemed stronger than others while leaving the rest for the sun or their own slaves to kill.

The ones in the vanguard now were proper citizens desperate for help. They had to admit that, even if Khlack was their enemy, they still felt pity for their fellow humans, especially the normal citizens. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
