After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 668

An hour before the war, the alarm—or more accurately, just hired people yelling—alerted everyone that the war was starting and they ought to get in position.

Some time later, Minko, Sean, and Orz jumped down the wall and ran around the territory, separating directions for maximum efficiency. They maintained their energies, of course, especially since they had no idea where the array was.

They wanted to find the array, hopefully to take down a number before they go and attack the walls. While they couldn’t do anything too aggressive, they could cause a lot of trouble and that was enough.

In fact, it wasn’t that Fargo and the others didn’t think of this loophole. They did, with Belize’s guidance.

But they realized a lot of the stronger aborigines they could send to look for the array were all… gone. It was at that moment that they confirmed the Alterrans had been preparing for the war for days.

Anyway, the current enemy had no such preparation. So when the time started, the enemies went into the array with just the alertness of handling small village-level mobs.

[War with Gocki Village (Lv2) has begun! Array Closes in 27:59:59]

It has begun! They all thought, running faster around the territory.

Now… time to figure out where that damned array was!

…

It was Minko who had found the light and he immediately shot his arrow to the walls. This arrow had a cloth tied, which was a cloth of the most colorful old fabric they could get.

He shot at an angle high enough so that even if it accidentally hit someone, it wouldn’t injure them, but not too high that the air resistance would distort his direction.

This was a signal to tell everyone where the array was.

With his signal, a few of the more powerful soldiers went to join him. Sean and Orz also found him shortly after.

The teleportation array always appeared in an instant, with no warning at all. When the soldiers grouped together, about a hundred had already gone past and headed towards the wall.

These people they just let pass, trusting the citizens to deal with them.

Although they were strong, they were still self-aware and didn’t go against thousands head-on, especially when they couldn’t hurt them directly.

For this, they decided to use guerilla tactics, subtly redirecting smaller groups from the main mobs, and taking them down without getting punished.

One method of redirection was creating earth walls. The appearance was natural so the enemies thought they had always been there.

Groups of hundreds would head in a direction away from the wall, further separated and heading to where several soldiers were waiting.

Each soldier was tasked to take scores at a time, or even more depending on luck.

For instance, a group of about 100 people, half of whom were slaves, ran towards where the walls were. However, there were various obstacles they naturally avoided.
