After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1805

Chapter 1805: Dune Town Refugees (Part 1)

"What?" The Lord exclaimed, and he and his son looked at each other and sighed.

They had just finished their estimates, adding hundreds would definitely put a bit of strain on their supplies.

They put on a few more layers of clothing as they headed out to see the people. They were all outside the walls now, wearing planks on their shoes, shivering, pitiful, and half-frozen.

The guards, though guilty, naturally did not dare get careless and let them inside. Although the rules in Dune Town were decent, they couldn’t decide whether to allow their entry because this could literally affect the survival of their own people.

Lord Asis and Sinnan nodded at them in approval, heading up to the battlement. To many who had a conscience, this felt uncomfortable, but their home’s situation remained a priority. Between different territories, moral kidnapping was generally not a thing. People went to war, after all. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The two looked at the refugees, their eyes tracing over their shivering figures. There were indeed hundreds of them, mostly men, almost no children and old people. This remained understandable.

Even if they weren’t left behind on purpose for being weak, travelling so far in this weather was practically suicide for the weak.

"What can we do with all these people?" Sinnan asked. Their supplies were enough for their own people to survive, but it would be difficult to add hundreds of people. It would be their people who’d struggle.

"Well, let me see."

They received a lot of refugees from nearby territories, including Towns that had once mocked them and abandoned them to their fates. Before they met Alterra, it was these territories that looked down on them.

A lot of them were associated with Desert town, located North to Northeast, and was the nearest town to Dune.

Some of these villages were closer to Dune Town, but before their town started to rise with Alterra’s help, all these villages entered an alliance or were a subsidiary to Desert Town, which controlled the area.

Not long ago, because Sahara refused to marry their son, that town caused a blockage of goods to their territory. It was what forced the girl to head out and look for valuable alliances for their town.

For this town, they were naturally banned from receiving aid from them. It was risky as they were both Level 2 Towns, but such a town was no good. They’d probably bite back even if they helped.

That said, looking at these victims, Asis and Sinnan did not have many good feelings. However, they knew that most of the damage was from the leadership side, and most citizens were innocent, so they could not be entirely heartless, either.

These people were pitiful, but they would not go out of their way.

Asis could see Sinnan and his advisors looking worriedly at him, but they shook their heads and reassured them.

"We will not sacrifice our own for others, especially to those who had turned their backs on us," he said, making most of his side relieved while the refugees panicked.

Some were ready to argue and beg when he raised his hand.

"At the same time, it is also not that easy to ignore them when they are already here."
