After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1973

Chapter 1973: Messing Up the Array Area (Part 1)

At this time, the powerhouses like Zaol and Gregor were focused on their area, unable to leave, though it was more like attack here and defend their situation.

They could lure enemies and pull them to the sentry areas, and they nabbed several enemies one by one like this. The enemies couldn’t do the same, obviously, because the sentries were still active, not to mention the Alterrans specifically chose to camp in areas where at least 2 sentries were working.

Their priority was not to add another leak, so while they knew other areas were being attacked, they focused on their task because winning the war was simply to keep these people out.

In other words, it was a stalemate. The powerhouses were limited in their movements, yes, but so were the trebuchets and the remaining powerhouses that guarded them.

Zaol and many of his teammates were beyond the level cap, but they could use the sentries to kill for them. As long as the powerhouses were within the territory line, they could even throw trespassers up to the sky, making them helpless targets to the sentries, and it would still count as valid self-defense.

So, on this side, tens of thousands of Valov fighters were stuck, barely able to throw a proper shot without sacrificing some of their own people.

Like this, as long as Zaol and them stayed there, the people here wouldn’t be able to move forward at all.

A literal deterrent force.

The Valov folk comforted themselves that they successfully kept these powerhouses away from the ’main’ fights. They believed that with so many forces and investment, even if their side was having trouble, the rest of the Valov fighting force was fine.

They never received aether messages asking for assistance from those already inside the walls. This meant that things were under control, right!?

...

They would be slapped on the face ten minutes later.

The fight on the successful breach was so intense, and it was also nearest to the arrays, most of the projectiles made by the Lord and the others were delivered there for efficiency.

Most of the forces were naturally assigned or moved to where a successful wall breach was opened. Hence, it was not an exaggeration to say that the majority of their forces were already on that side, so it was assumed that the breach was already large and tens of thousands should be inside the walls by now.

But who’d have thought...the people facing Zaol and Gregor would also receive instructions to serve as reinforcement!

They did not know why they were not receiving messages from the interior of Alterra (they assumed it was because things were under control), but they could still exchange letters beyond its scope. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But...wouldn’t that mean the powerhouses like Gregor and Zaol could also join in the fight? But they just followed in the end, though there was a sense of foreboding in their stomachs, and some of them already had the idea of running back to the arrays.

It was just that Valov had a very strict rule against desertion. Not only them, but even their families, would be treated as criminals and could be killed!

Like this, fewer and fewer people could enter the walls, and it had turned completely into a battle of attrition, with Alterra focusing on pushing people back and just defending themselves, while the enemies desperately tried to push through, they would really lose!!
