After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 600

Her emerald eyes looked at the two tokens in her hand in deep thought.

Although they had already won, the token wouldn’t automatically integrate into her, just as the teleportation array wouldn’t dissipate until the 28 hours were done.

It was also how Althea could choose not to merge yet, because doing so was basically telling people she was the Lord.

She had automatically received more than half of Fargo’s property though (he wasn’t very rich) as well as the money of the new ’slaves’.

As for the new ’slaves’ and their money, she’d handle that later. She knew freeing them from slavery needed some money, so they naturally had to let go of some of their wealth as well.

Pushing all these aside for now, she looked at the other notification she received.

[Would you like to announce the news to all citizens in the vicinity?]

She smiled.

Of course, yes.

…

A moment later, a similar pinging sound resounded in the Alterans’ minds.

[Ding! Altera Village (Lv3) has won against Fargo Village (Lv3)!]

This was received only by everyone in the Fargo territory because Althea didn’t pay for the extra costs of sending it to everyone outside the territory.

After all, she could just announce the same when they returned home in a few hours, let alone the fact that they could send messages through aether letters to those nearby.

Anyway, at the announcement, the Alterans looked at each other with wide grins and cheered.

"WOOOO! FINALLY!" Beanie yelled and raised his hands. "I heard a ding when I landed! The announcement was delayed a few minutes, but wasn’t the ding the signal? Did I get the Honor?!"

Hubert beside him shrugged as he wiped the sweat off his face. "We gotta ask the other team if they had the same."

Beanie calmed down a bit, but was excited nevertheless. Even if there were other people who got the honor, he’d still get some rewards! Who didn’t like bonuses?

Before the war, a couple of richer people like Baron added a prize for whoever had the honors of being the ’winning entry’. They pooled a reward of a whopping 100 Gold!

Of course, if there was more than one, then they would share it, but it wasn’t a small amount at all! They had oath system here in Xeno anyway, so they didn’t have to worry about liars!

In any case, this little prize made a lot of people desperate to get through the wall, which definitely helped in the speed of this war.

On the main battlefield, the Alterans were also celebrating. They looked at the sleeping slaves and heaved a deep breath of relief, finally relaxing a bit.

"I wonder who got the honor?" Jesse asked, drinking another potion. He was definitely planning on kidnapping said person to treat him in the tavern!

While he was in a daze, however, he did not notice a bloodied Fargo guard—one with bent legs—flinch behind him. As if using his last bit of strength, he jumped up with a low-durability weapon on hand, ready to take one last kill.

Angelo was laughing with a few others when his peripheral vision caught this movement. His heart dropped.

"JESSIE!!" he yelled, gesturing to run to his cousin.

However, the Fargo guard had already raised his weapon, the blade only an inch away from Jesse’s head.

SWISH!

SLASH!

"AHHH!" Jessie yelled when he found a detached head thrown at him. The man’s eyes were still twitching.

"GYAHHH!" he screeched again, like a little girl, throwing it away by instinct.

Angelo bumped his head in relief and pushed him to thank the half-orc who suddenly appeared next to them.

Apparently, just before the blade could touch Jesse’s neck, a claw suddenly appeared and beheaded the perpetrator.

"Thank you… thank you…" Angelo said, and Jesse immediately followed, realizing what happened. His heart dropped.

Did he almost die (again)?!
