After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 718

A new weapon maker was also hired just earlier that day. He appeared as the second option and she jumped at the chance to hire him.

Fortunately, she did so as the rest of the options weren’t very good.

The guy’s name was Kia, a Class E Weaponsmith with crew cut hair.

When he went out to find out people were preparing for war, he was scared and a bit regretful. However, the more he walked along the territory, the more he realized it was a unique place.

Everyone seemed to be moving towards preparing the territory, no one was lax! The faith they had… it wasn’t something he had seen before.

And when he was led, not to the weapons store as he expected but to a manually constructed factory, he was shocked.

The weapons shop was treated only as a commodity shop that produced weapons automatically, while this manual construction was treated as the center of weapon and armor making in the territory.

At first, he just thought the territory did this in order to get a larger workshop. However, Kia knew from previous experience that the buff the shop gave the professionals was not comparable to just simply increasing the space of production.

At the time, because he had grown to like this new village, he decided to warn the lord about this.

But then he was flabbergasted by the contents and he knew he would never leave!

He realized he was still too naive!

…

As for those who wished to go outside at this time, new rules were implemented.

Not only was there a high-level requirement, but they could only be a kilometer from the walls, at most.

The level requirement was 9 and above only, and this was chosen in order not to hold back those about to upgrade. Otherwise, only level 10 and above would’ve been allowed.

Those who could go a little farther had even more stringent requirements.

The first requirement was that the parties needed to have a level 20 fighter or stronger, and this level twenty must have an aether letter in their space. This was in order to quickly alert the territory of the emergency and, hopefully, come to rescue them.

In the case of a certain pair, it was Eagle who had it.

Eagle was training with Sheila, trapping a few monsters with his ability and releasing them one by one. At this time, they were already done with the second-to-the-last monster.

[Used Slash (E), -2 Mana!]

Sheila slashed away at the level seven monster, focusing on killing it without any other worries.

Eagle sharply felt the wind around him, ready to intervene as needed.

He watched with tense jaws as the grotesque hulking creature with jagged teeth lunged at Sheila, its claws outstretched to take her head.

Sheila leaped backward, her axe flashing as it met the monster’s strike. The impact made her flinch but she held on to her axe for dear life, standing firm.

This was one of the last monster of this mob, and she wanted to deal with it with as little help from Eagle as possible.

However, the monster quickly lunged at her and she could only block it, her hands still a bit shaky from the previous attack. Sheila was pushed back and she could feel the hold of her weapon slipping away.

Eagle frowned and immediately intervened. Using his wind ability, he pushed the monster back a few meters to give Sheila time to breathe.

Three, two, three, two

"It’s okay now!" Sheila said, asking Eagle to stop holding the monster back. The man nodded and stopped his ability, and the monster immediately attacked as soon as it was freed.

The monster let out a guttural roar and it leapt to Sheila, who had her axe raised, ready to take it on

With renewed vigor, Sheila launched herself at the monster.
