After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 301

Meanwhile, at the Southwest gate, Rowan jumped to the middle of the mob and used his abilities to kill a wave.

He was very strong. Although he was sweating due to the sheer quantity, Rowan was still as strong as ever.

Althea was very relieved with the other gate because the strong Aborigines were there. She was also relieved not just for herself but for other Terran territories.

Hopefully, they also managed to hire decent NPCs. With them, any mobs inside the protection field were manageable.

So… even if more than 80% of the monsters were attacking that area, she just needed to focus on her own scope.

As for the Terrans, because of the policy requiring employees to train outside several hours a week, even the ’office-people’ maintained basic fighting skills.

Everyone who went out was at least level 3, and they were leveling up quickly because the monsters were greatly weakened by the Aborigines.

Overall, she was really quite assured with the southwest side and just rebuilt the secondary wall there as needed.

However, it couldn’t be as ’perfect’ as before. The mob was too big, it was inevitable to have a few sacrifices.

Rowan threw another fire whip when a metal spike appeared to kill the adjacent monster. His red eyes stared at the lifeless body that he was too late to save, and it was pulled back by a teammate to the side, trying to make sure his body wasn’t disrespected even during the fight.

In anger, even when his mana was already draining, he shot another large firewhip in the direction of the monster, killing it along with a few others.

"My turn," Oslo said, returning to his side, killing a few monsters on the way.

As the strongest forces, at least one of them had to be present at all times to minimize the deaths.

Oslo had been resting inside for about two hours, as they had decided to alternate.

Rowan did not immediately leave, however, because the numbers were still in the thousands and they hoped to further lessen the load.

Seeing this, Oslo sighed and just handed some mana potion he had in his space. "You should replenish now."

"Ah, thanks," he said, quickly downing the shimmering blue liquid. He blinked when he saw it was the more expensive sort but Oslo was already in the middle of the fight before he could thank him.

In fact, only Rowan as a soldier was duty-bound to defend the territory, but who told Oslo and the others to like this place so much?

However, Rowan understood the other man’s thoughts, so after mass killing and consuming the regenerated mana again. The man followed instructions and went to replenish some energy.

When Rowan left, Oslo threw massive amounts of metal and earth Spikes, assisting the guards in gathering a bulk of experience and copper.

"Thanks, Oslo!!"

"You’re awesome!"

"I leveled up!" Another yelled, "Just what I needed!"

Although there were a lot of monsters, the level was low, so it wasn’t a problem as long as they got ample rest. Not to mention the guards and citizens were hungry to get the ’last hit’.

Soon, even the other aborigines like Clout and the Gardener joined in, significantly lightening up the load.

They may not be fighters, but they were still level 15.

This was pretty impressive as non-fighting hired individuals generally didn’t participate willingly in such fights.

But Oslo smiled, knowing how they felt very clearly.

A few hours later, Rowan returned and patted the sweating Oslo’s shoulder. "My turn," he said and the blonde nodded.

However, he wasn’t going back inside to rest. "I’m going to check on the lord."

Rowan blinked, a little startled, and then looked at the hardworking guards and citizens around him. A small smile graced his usually stoic face, killing a few attacking monsters along the way.

He had been sent to assist level 2 villages against the upgrade beast tide more than once before.

These territories had much higher levels of fighters than in Altera, but the momentum was never, ever, so big.

It was paradoxically both a mystery and an understandable fact.

In those territories, there were a lot of casualties even in groups of level 7 guards fighting against huge mobs of level 3 monsters.

But in Altera, groups of level 3s and 4s handled the monsters through cooperation and strategies.

Even if they went against level 5s, they could handle it long enough for him or any other of the aborigines to arrive.
