After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 593

Outside Altera.

At this time, a few hundred meters away from the walls, two aborigines were holding their hands up.

They weren’t entirely sure what the gesture was for, though.

When they went past the array, people on the other side yelled "Hands up!" And they had no choice but to do so—not with all those arrows pointed at them!

They recognized the special-looking bows as the fast-working ones the attacking parties had. An arrow shower alone was dangerous, especially if they shot so fast like that!

A tall man with aquiline features walked over along with a few others, looking at them suspiciously.

"Who are you?" Eagle asked, looking at the two up and down. He had a special guardedness to Mogi, and was ready to attack him at a moment’s notice.

Fargo didn’t have uniforms, but it was obvious who had some force value.

It wasn’t just physique and level, he also invested in equipment more compared to normal civilians.

The two aborigines looked at each other, a little pale, but gathered themselves enough to answer the man lucidly. "I… we were hired through the Chancery in Fargo, but we decided to go away prematurely."

"And?"

"Nothing. We would just like to live and work in Altera."

"Why?"

"To make a living."

"..."

"..."

It took several seconds of staring for Eagle to realize they weren’t being snarky.

"You realize you’re not making a very good first impression," Eagle said, crossing his arms.

Not to mention, even if they pressed them for information about Fargo to ’prove their worth’ they wouldn’t be able to give him anything. After all, as people hired through the Village Center, they wouldn’t be able to disclose information about the former territories as long as they existed.

"We can swear oaths of non-betrayal."

Eagle looked at them and sighed. To be honest, while the first impression wasn’t stellar, there was no reason not to take them in. They weren’t particularly strong, but they must’ve been through a lot of territories.

Not to mention, when the former territory falls, the agreement would be null, and thus they would be able to disclose more information to them.

"Come with me," Eagle said, gesturing for the two to follow him. The other guards stayed in position, no longer aggressive, but still ready to attack.

Mogi and Rona looked at each other and heaved deep breaths before following the man’s tracks.

Only then did they finally have the mind to look forward, and soon the large level 5 wall emerged from the forest.

Then they looked at the sentries which looked to only be more than 100 yards apart!

A level 5 sentry had this length as the range. This meant some areas had two sentries guarding!

How much did all this cost?!

While they weren’t aware of the exact amounts, they knew from how their previous lords would solicit money that a few sentries wouldn’t be cheap, let alone all of these!

No wonder the attacking force alone was so strong! Even their ’home ground’ was like this!

Just from this, they knew: Fargo stood no chance against this place!

…

While new aborigines were being eased in, a few visitors from a Town were lounging in the tea house.
