After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 899

Limestone Valley

It had been more than two weeks since the last war, and it wasn’t a surprise that one of the three territories got attacked again.

This time, Limestone Valley was targeted.

Unlike most, this team attacked during the night, opting to deal with the monsters first. If a territory was confident in its strengths, this was the smarter move.

This strategy would first allow them to escape the most debilitating heat—heat that could damage and reduce their numbers even before they could get inside the enemy walls.

And then, if they were strong enough, they would defeat the mobs and consume them, eating their meat and drinking their blood, reenergizing themselves for the inevitable war.

Inko Village had always been an expert in wars within their tier and they had hardly lost. This was highlighted during the previous win against an interesting village called Juno Village, wherein they barely lost anyone except maybe a few people.

Interesting because they earned a lot from that village! They really didn’t expect it. Sometime when they were selling their slaves, someone from the town lord’s side approached them, asking them where they got their slaves.

They answered honestly and he also offered to sell the lord token there.

He managed to sell it for a whopping 4000 gold from it! Normally, that kind of small village with minimal resources wouldn’t get a fraction of that!

The buyer also offered to buy all his remaining slaves from that place. While it was regrettable that they had already sold more than half of the slaves when he was approached, he still got great prices for the rest of them!

This was why Inkitt, Inko Village’s lord, went all this way. He naturally left his token to his son back home. But the reason he ventured out himself was because they needed to really win this place.

Not only were they dying of hunger, but also because he knew this place had the same type of people Juno had! Who knew how much this one would sell! Definitely several folds more expensive!

Anyway, with him—a rare level 20—along with a few others beyond the level cap clearing the monster mob that came to them with not much losses.

Next up: Taking down that village!

In their investigation, they found out that Limestone Valley was a cornucopia with great resources—whether it was food, water, humans, and even goblins!

It was the perfect place to attack that they—one of the peak level 3 villages in the region—could choose.

With the current resources—both human and food—dwindling, they had to choose wisely!

In theory, they were right!

They waited patiently in a safe area as the village was attacked by mobs. They would wait until they were weakened or, better yet, defeated by the mob, before they would swoop in.

When it did not seem to fall due to the mobs, they didn’t worry about it too much. They believed those people must’ve been plenty weakened at this time.

Their thousands of slaves immediately attacked as soon as the last monster was dealt with, intending to swoop in and take advantage of weakness.

If they had done this to most other villages, this could’ve indeed worked—as it always had through the years of various extreme weather changes.

However, they were against Limestone Valley.

Half a day after they attacked, their previous confidence had plummeted.

"Why don’t they run out of weapons?" One asked, looking at the brightening sky. They had been here the entirety of the dark hours and they still hadn’t successfully breached it!

Not many slaves had managed to climb up the walls. With their small numbers, there was no doubt they had been dealt with already.

"Where do they get these weapons?" One asked their scout. "Didn’t you say they were also limited?"

Naturally, they sent spies before attacking, though only one managed to get out alive due to the heat.

They investigated their forces and the number of guards. They couldn’t stay too long because of their rush, but there was no report of their endless supply of weapons at all!

Indeed, how would they know Alterra had been sending a constant supply of weapons and resources via the warehouse? _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
