After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1900

Chapter 1900: Ferrol is Attacked!

[Papell Town had declared war against Ferrol Town]

When she received the message from Jonathan via the Center, Althea was having a small meeting with Ansel and Oslo (and a few other representatives from the Design and Construction Departments).

They were discussing the creation of a larger entertainment zone, much bigger than the current Nightlife Street in Phase 2.

This would include the Theme park area, which would definitely take years to plan, design the machines, and build, but also the bigger versions of arcades, sports arenas, and so on.

Of course, there would be leisure places all over to disperse traffic, but they wanted a zone where the biggest activities would be held. This was also so they could also manage the traffic better.

In certain parts of the territory, a lot of pedestrian paths would be underground to ensure a continuous floor of traffic above ground. They also planned to add some commercial areas in the underground pathways, like the ones in the government rotunda.

Ansel was particularly passionate about adding more cinemas. This one wouldn’t be in malls, but the standalone kind he had seen in some antiquated places in Terran.

Oslo, on the other hand, wanted more cafes and bars, all with different themes, so nightlife lovers like himself can jump from bar to bar and still feel it was unique.

It was this fun atmosphere that was interrupted when Jonathan’s message arrived.

Althea, who was enjoying the planning of another botanical garden, had such a visual change in expression that it made everyone flinch. They immediately knew that something big had happened.

When she told them what it was about, everyone was also a bit worried.

During the two years they had known Ferrol, the town had never been at war. The established towns, the Level 3 ones, seemed not have had wars for years, if not decades.

Villages could come and go, especially when new tokens appeared every few decades (sometimes with ’easy-to-deal-with’ new civilizations with them), but Towns—especially high-leveled ones—stood for hundreds if not thousands of years. And it was for good reason.

There was just too much to lose. Further, from a Level 3 Town’s perspective, the way to becoming a City was difficult, yet it felt like it would be in reach—even if in reality, it was still a long, long way to go.

It was natural that everyone was reluctant to risk taking several steps back from a war, or maybe even losing everything.

Most Level 3 Towns could never actually upgrade to a City, even if the town existed for hundreds of years after the upgrade to peak level as a town. However, losing a single war could easily delay the potential upgrade by hundreds more.

"Papell Town? Who are they again?" Ansel asked.

Althea rummaged through her memory. Every day, she and her husband would receive a summary report of whatever information the Intelligence Team received. They gave explicit instructions to send every major change and anything unusual.

This was the same with their allied and subsidiary territories, which sent weekly reports to be filtered and organized by the Intelligence Department.

That was more than a thousand kilometers past Bleulle, even.
