After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 588

The third team was led by Ansel. Along with him were Hubert, Beanie, and the twins Leo and Luke, among many others. Their group was the largest among the three with a few hundred members.

Because it was big, they naturally encountered a lot more enemies than the others, hence their slow pace.

Fortunately, they also had a lot of strong members and even someone who was beyond the level cap—Leon, the rare wood user mercenary who stayed in Fargo before. Like how Santos was, Leon’s role was there not just to defend, but also to provide a quick and efficient way to get them in.

However, much like how earth users wouldn’t be able to build anything on a system wall, wood users like him wouldn’t be able to crawl vines up either, at least… not directly.

Their strategy was to manually build ladders of sorts, reinforced by Leon’s abilities.

A few had managed to get in and jump to the other side, but it didn’t take long for someone to see the ladder being held up a wall from a distance.

It wasn’t hard as long as someone was monitoring the perimeters and, while they timed the time of the rounds, there were more people there than expected—probably added just recently—so they were caught a bit earlier than they anticipated.

They were immediately surrounded after that. They also got unlucky because, for some reason, this group of guards was large. From what they could see people were coming in on all directions and their quantity was probably more than their own numbers.

The enemies started attacking the ladder’s base and they had no choice but to jump down.

"Eh, ladder? Should I say creative or flimsy?" One bulky man said, then answered his own question. "It’s stupid. Stupid for attacking our Fargo Village in the first place!"

Leon saw who spoke and understood why this group of guards was as big as a battalion. This team happened to have some of Fargo’s confidantes—the other brother Eli and two mercenaries beyond the level cap with them.

One was Fero, a level 16 swordsman, and Gron, a level 17 spearman. They were actually under Fargo’s main guards, but they were assigned to the outer wall after the monster mob. Other than those, there were also two mercenaries just within the level cap of levels 11 and 13.

At first glance, this was a tough enemy—much tougher than the other teams—and Ansel and the others had two choices.

One was either to rush towards the walls but risk those who would be left behind. The second was to finish off these people as quickly as they could in hopes of clearing the trouble—ideally before more enemies get to them—though at the risk of delaying the win and risking their own lives.

Ansel and the others who had not yet climbed up opted for the latter. _{freёwebnovel.com}
