After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 356

Their female-allergic Captain actually kissed one in public! It was just a peck, but still!!!!

Ohmygosh!

Will they encounter another apocalypse?!

Sure, they made out (and even cried!) when they reunited, but they pegged that as the couple forgetting the place due to extreme happiness of finding each other again.

This was different! They were just strolling around a place with so many passerbys!

The soldiers watched dumbfounded as their usually ice-cold captain performed PDA without any sense of shame. Even the locals couldn’t help but sneak peeks.

If their identities weren’t so revered, it was estimated the people started hooting.

Anyway, the captain lifted his head, as if unaware of the looks around them. The soldiers watched as the Captain grinned looking at his wife, eyes filled with love, before turning to face them.

They watched the captain’s sunny expression change almost instantaneously when he looked at them.

He now looked like the captain they knew, but darker because they now had a comparison point.

They shivered in fear.

"Gather!"

Their bodies automatically reacted and they stood in an organised line in front of the couple. They did not dare stare at the wife and the kids anymore.

The citizens around watched in interest as well-organized soldiers made a formation in the park.

To be honest, just the sight of them—even if they were busy filling their mouths until just a few moments prior—made the territory feel even safer.

It was like they had additional sentries, only alive and silly.

Garan stood tall and looked at his men, aura heavy with gravitas as it always was. "I’m sure you have taken your time to get to know Altera Village—which will be our new home."

The soldier’s eyes sparkled at his words, relieved, and they listened excitedly to what he would be saying next.

"We will be purchasing permanent residencies here. I will be buying a villa for our team, with the open space used for training." Of course, at least half of the farm would still be used for planting for self-sufficiency.

The soldiers happily agreed.

Although they had land in Ferrol, this place was really too good!! They were not only surrounded by their own people, they were surrounded by a good environment and, most importantly, good food!

Garan let his men absorb the news for a few seconds before continuing with his announcement. "We will be shifting our main power here, and will be maintaining the other place as a branch instead."

They paused, nodding. Indeed, this makes sense. Why would they waste good land in a town?

In fact, a few business people watching from afar (note: eavesdropping) were already calculating a few things.

What would it be like… to sell in a town?

Would they make even more money than what they did in the other three villages?

"How exactly the branch will be handled would be up for discussion in the future," Garan said, "In the meantime, I hope you continue working hard to get stronger—to protect all these. After all, you know more than a lot of the people here how… attractive Altera is."

The final line made the soldiers tense, and immediately serious.

Indeed, the territory was so good.

Too good.

It would definitely be coveted!!

Immediately, their lax expressions immediately hardened, standing even more stable than before, as if ready to attack at a moment’s notice.

Garan looked at his soldiers in satisfaction, "I know the monsters around aren’t strong enough, so you will be divided into two teams.

"One team will stay here and the other will station in Ferrol town to train with stronger monsters. The travel time will be included in the time of the Ferrol team."

"Rotation is every two weeks," he said. It would take more than an entire day to get to Ferrol, and this was without any breaks.

He considered the travel time as synonymous with training time. After all, they would definitely be encountering mobs.

"The people who stay will apply as guards. Although there are no openings yet, there should be soon," he said, and he said so with certainty, making more than a few look at him curiously.
