After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 577

Dune Town was one of the only towns in the area—unsurprisingly so. The resources outside of the vast desert were nice, why would anyone build something here?

When he arrived there, it so happened that their ’princess’ was about to leave. She was very beautiful and graceful. She also had lustrous hair that was of similar color to the sands that surrounded them, shimmering under the sky.

She was being sent off by her family, and they seemed genuinely reluctant to see her go. It was rare to see women so loved, so he couldn’t help but watch until the woman entered her beast car, heading who-knew-where.

Anyway, that episode was soon at the back of his head as he had to spend his salary of the previous month to get hired again in the Chancery.

He prayed to the late Elves to bless him.

Really, a normal village would be fine!

…

In contrast to his brother, Tambai’s final territory was a village located on the snowy mountain ranges of the Southeast territories.

This part was an area near orc territories, but unlike the orc-adjacent human territories in better terrain, humans were at an even deeper disadvantage in the mountains.

The number of human territories on this side was very few and somehow Tambai luckily ended up there. Fortunately, the temperature in Xeno was generally temperate for most parts except for areas like these, because they were affected by the extreme terrains. Hence, the coldness wasn’t so debilitating that no one could move year-round.

The nearest town was farther though so he sucked it up and decided to stay for a while longer, unlike his brother who went to the nearest town as soon as the month cycle ended.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans for him and they got attacked by an orc less than a week after he got hired.

Rather, it attacked every so often, and he was hired to deal with the damned thing!

The quality of hires for villages wasn’t very high, and he was apparently the strongest one they found!

His stomach fell to the bottom but as someone who signed a contract, he had to at least do his best, and his heart was beating loudly as he faced the beast.

Orcs’ fecundity may not be very strong, but a single one was no less scary than a small mob.

Orcs were huge with an average height of 2.5 meters, and their force values were equivalent to at least 5 men of the same level. And these were the weaker orcs—fighter orcs were much more formidable.

Only one attacked their village and he could cause so much chaos already. Anyway, Tambai was, unsurprisingly, beaten up after a short fight. He survived due to the Class D armor given to him (and his brother) by their parents using the remaining lifetime of their savings.

It was broken now though, and to be honest his heart broke along with it.
