After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 555

Soon, they were surrounded by Fargo guards and their team immediately raised their weapons.

Crow narrowed his eyes at them, analyzing. Because their level differences weren’t high, it wasn’t easy to determine their levels accurately.

There was no guard in their temporary team, and he was the strongest one at level 8. Crow then looked at the enemies and the highest seemed to be around level 7, though most of them ranged from level 5-6.

Crow looked at the others and nodded at them, gesturing towards a narrow alleyway. They understood what he was talking about, and they immediately moved upon his signal.

They went back to back and targeted a random side to open a path to them. Sunny was one of the shieldsmen in the team and she held out her Class D shield, pushing forward along with others. Behind her were the spearmen and swordsmen who would stab through the gaps between the shields.

The plan was to weaken them a few at a time. The enemies had been damaged from the war, anyway. Even if they were outnumbered 1 to two or three, the Alterans didn’t falter at all.

And because everyone was so cramped, the hit rate was 100%.

"AH!"

"BASTARDS!"

Dog, a swordsman, was right behind Sunny. "Hya!" he yelled as he stabbed and stabbed. When he was sure there’d be a critical hit, he’d even spend a bit of mana and use a skill.

[Used Stab! -2 Mana!]

"GAHH!!"

[Used Stab! -2 Mana!]

"AHHHH!"

[Used Stab! -2 Mana!]

"GYAHH! DAMNIT!"

Dog, along with the others, debilitated more and more people as the minutes ticked by, making it easier for them to go to where they wanted.

They hurried and pushed towards a better position, stepping on the men who fell along their path (tho not without a few Alterans stabbing again for good measure).

They pushed hard until they entered the alleyway, the prevalent type of pathway in the outer walls. Although still dangerous, at least in alleys, their sides would be covered and they only had to defend the front and back.

With this, they could focus less on defense and more on the attack. Combined with the dripping momentum of the enemies, this turned the fight completely to their favor.

John glared at the damned Alterans. "Bastards!!" he yelled as more of their people fell.

How humiliating! To think he was struggling with a bunch of kids on the bottom rung of the enemy forces! Unlike the others, there wasn’t even a single elementalist here!

Would those bastards from the other team mock him when they found out!

However, it’d be more embarrassing to lose track of them so he yelled at the top of their lungs.

"HELP! ENEMIES HERE!" he yelled and soon his other teammates did the same, though mostly out of fear.

They didn’t want to be in the vanguard where you’re 100% sure you’ll get hit!

Crow and the others cursed as they heard a couple of footsteps, with another dozen guards heading in their direction. Soon after that, another small group arrived on the other side, and suddenly their attention had to be divided.

"Shit!"

Clank! Clank!

The enemies mobbed them from both sides. It was fortunate that they were in the alley so the enemies who could attack them at the same time was limited. However, after a brief period of confusion, John and the others snapped out of it.

"Wheel battle!" He yelled, and they pounded on the small group as hard as they could, simply exchanging hitters when they got too tired.

The Alteran group was compressed more and more, but they stood strong, stabbing those outside the shield with their Class D weapons, and defending themselves with their shields and equipment. At least at this point, they were far superior to their enemies and they held out even when the enemies had rotated.

They were still far too outnumbered and many of them received more and more damage, with some of their equipment showing signs of cracking. Despite all this though, the enemies were still losing more people.
