After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1709

Chapter 1709: Drug War (Part 1)

Felipe’s jaw clenched, but he didn’t allow himself to be too anxious. The 28 hours before the war were particularly crucial because they were taken by surprise.

He needed to use this time to investigate, and the only way they could do it now was to go through the Post Office.

It was likely they’d employ a lot of mercenaries as well, and it would definitely be a difficult war. Towns would not wage war often, but when they did, it’d be bloody.

This was why, unless the other town had huge resources or there was deep bad blood in between, then there was no reason Voumi would attack.

Either case was not good news. The former meant they’d be targeted for the resources, and even if they won, they could expect more to come.

As for the latter, it was similarly disturbing because how could he have no idea?!

Anyway, this war that the other party decided was worth taking, and they’d be aiming to take everything.

Felipe gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. How presumptuous of them! He swore to make them suffer so many losses that their Town would either be wiped off the map or become his.

Felipe’s dark eyes looked at the useless, panicking Lord in front of him.

Tsk. If he knew where this bastard was hiding the token, he’d have killed him long ago!

Should he convince him to take it out of the warehouse?

This guy was annoyingly paranoid. He actually had his Lord Token hidden inside a Token Guard, and even until now, Felipe couldn’t find the chance to get him to take it out.

Pushing for it would definitely cause alarm in this idiot.

Why was he smart only with these things?

...

"Will there be war? Are you going to join them?"

Felipe arrived home to see his chemist’s worried face. To be honest, he was a little annoyed that she had the time to worry instead of trying to make new types of drugs. To keep a tight leash on the market, one had to innovate often.

These thoughts did not reflect on his face, of course.

He simply patted her head. "Don’t you trust your husband?" he asked. "Your husband will never lose."

...

The war began as it always did, and it developed typical to how wars were conducted in general.

For the Alterrans and other spies, it did feel... new.

For one, they were complete spectators this time. They didn’t have much to fear, much to defend, and this allowed them to observe everything with a detached point of view, hoping to get some insights and learning.

At the very least, they could learn more about how aborigines fought, especially at the Town level.

Some people even brought out popcorn while they watched from the second floor of a rented house...
