After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 227

Back to Altera, Althea was going around handling her industries, preparing as much as she could before the hundreds, if not thousands, of people arrived.

She had already planned for the expansion of the factories, as well as scheduled the hiring of more labor force. She also scheduled a lot more factories for the various new needs of the territory.

For instance, there would come a time when Lenny’s workshop could no longer fit in the fabric factory. This would be especially true when the commercial space she got for her was opened.

As such, a factory would be dedicated to Lenny. They would be focusing on more common clothing and undergarments, and the rest of that market would be left to the citizens.

In terms of residences, the current dormitories and residences would be able to swallow the newcomers. However, she did have to prepare well for the inevitable future expansion of the residential areas. Anyway, the land after the upgrade would increase by folds, but she didn’t know exactly how it would change after that.

The NPCs mentioned that the expansion of the territory sometimes was not straightforwardly radiant, some were elongated, so she didn’t stress on the premature planning because of this.

There were also other aspects that needed to be perfected, like policies that would be applicable to tens of thousands of population. For instance, traffic. Another, security.

The more people there were, the more bad apples there would be. This was an inevitable fact she needed to address.

Speaking of this, she decided to look at the loyalties of her citizens, in case she already had a bad apple around.

She looked at the Citizens tab for the first time since the monster mob. She found the lowest loyalties for now was 50%.

"Hm. Not bad." She said, and this meant she was still relatively problem-free in this area. For now, anyway.

She looked at the other stats as well and, to her surprise, she found that there were also more and more people who triggered Life Occupations.

There were more woodworkers, farmers, and builders. Dozens of them. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

It could be said that the peacefulness and prosperity of the territory inspired and gave time to a lot of people, allowing them to trigger these occupations that otherwise would have taken much longer.

Anyway, this would allow her territory to be built faster, a necessity for her Territory that wished to develop as much as possible before they faced the dangerous world outside.

Above all of these, of course, she knew that one of the first things she had developed well was the military force.

Fortunately, even with her lack of talent in the area, the people assigned to this aspect were all very responsible, knowledgeable, and passionate about their job.

There were also more Fighting Occupations like swordsmen, shieldsmen, spearmen, and archers.

People with these occupations had received some skills, a few more than others. For example, Helios and Hugo received three skills each as soon as they activated their professions, while some only had one.

Regardless of whether it was one or three skills, however, she had no doubt that the training hall had a great contribution to this. After all, the monsters outside had become relatively weaker to them, triggering fighting occupations that needed life-and-death experiences. The Training Hall somewhat managed to fill up this gap, to a certain degree.

The countdown to the end of the protection period had begun, and what were all these riches and conveniences if they couldn’t protect it?

On the contrary, it would become a favorite target of more powerful territories instead.

Although she would only be against village-level territories, the indigenous villages of this world had average levels of about 10 or so. This was twice what their own level forecast was!

Now that their level started to stagnate at an average level of 5, Althea had no choice but to develop weaponry and defense even more.

Although Drake and Rowan weren’t here at this time, they had made sure everything was in order. So, their policies were strictly followed by the more than 100 of the remaining guards.

She watched as the barracks used a mixture of training methods from Xeno and from Terran, each of which complemented the other.
