After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1788

Chapter 1788: The Hands Behind

About half an hour before the declaration, someone knocked wildly on their door.

"MILORD! MILORD!" the man yelled. "Urgent! An emergency post from our stationed forces!!"

Other than the hundreds of people they had camping near Alterra, most of whom were either allied or were beyond the level cap, they naturally had their spies inside, sending word of anything noteworthy.

Anyway, even if Alterra knew they were going to get attacked, they didn’t know which territory it was, so as long as the contents were subtle, there was no problem with sending letters via the Post Office right before the war.

Uric took it as per usual, and his eyebrows rose as he read. His men were not subtle.

"It is said that Alterra announced that the Cold Wave is imminent. It will happen exactly tomorrow! Are we still going to attack?"

It really has been a bit chilly lately. It was just that there were often cooler breezes from the mountainous areas, so they didn’t think too deeply.

"What?" Sebo gasped, grabbing the letter to read it himself.

"Is it even true?!" he yelled. "I don’t think it is! We have already deployed hundreds of men in the area!"

Ulric’s stomach, which had already dropped from the news, dropped even more. "They’re so confident, Milord, perhaps it’s a sign to listen—"

"SHUT UP!"

"Milord, according to my research, Alterra had been prepared for the previous Extreme Heat—abnormally so," he said. "Apparently, they had made apt preparations before it happened. Perhaps they have a seer in their midst."

Seers were a few people who had higher instincts regarding the Extreme weather. While they were not always completely accurate, they were accurate enough to be believed. So far, they have received no news of an Extreme Cold happening within the next few days!

"Then I will wait a day. If the Cold doesn’t happen within a day, then I will attack them harder!" he gritted his teeth. "Don’t they dare try to fool me!"

"But—"

"No buts! It’s already humiliating enough that I’m delaying it!!" Sebo screamed. "Do you want me to throw you in prison!?"

Uric sighed, knowing how stubborn this old man was.

He could look out and hope that this wasn’t another trap.

...

Valov Town

"Did they attack?" Balthazar, Lord of Valov Town, looked at his men, already expecting an answer.

However, while he did get an awkward answer from them, it wasn’t what he expected.

Balthazar’s smirk disappeared. "What?"

"Zabon Town did not attack, Milord," his man repeated.

"Why?"

They were made into fools! And it was why they were also doing so much before attacking themselves.
