After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1574

Chapter 1574: Carriage Out!

While disorganisation—and, dare say, chaos—reigned in the banquet, a bellowing voice resounded across the large villa and its gardens.

"What’s going on here?!" It was the billowing sound of the Lord’s voice, followed by an oppressive aura that made some people freeze, while others worsened in their panic.

Bleumrick’s eyes were red in anger and disbelief, wondering who’d dare do such a thing when he was in the vicinity. He also wondered how in elf’s name this still hasn’t been handled!

He was having serious meetings in the meeting room earlier, with the Sephon family, who were introducing him to an interesting powder that presented a lot of opportunities.

However, before he could send them to study its source, successive loud sounds of explosions resounded around them.

It came from different directions, too, some from opposite sides of the large villa.

He watched as several ementalists tried to sweep the poison, but it was relatively dense and heavy, so it wasn’t so easy to neatly control it.

In fact, it would likely send it to another spot instead, and some clumsy wind user even got a few important people victimized.

Worse was that there were a few more loud sounds all over the villa area, distracting them, making them think the attack was ongoing, so most people were more focused on getting out, rather than containing the threat. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Livid, his elemental ability—earth—unconsciously spread out, and people felt the ground vibrate a bit.

Bleumrick’s jaws were clenched as he looked at the shivering members of the Sephon family. "DEAL WITH THIS NOW OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES."

...

Veronica and the others heard the Lord’s yell. Such a show of anger and force from someone of that level had the ability to shake people a hundred meters away. This wasn’t even considering the man was an earth user, expanding his area of effect even more.

Fortunately, as long as one had enough willpower, one didn’t have to be paralyzed with fear. It just told them to go faster.

Many people entered the carriages, while others just ran as far as they could, particularly those who were citizens here and had places to run to.

There were two ’unknown’ carriages that blended with the rest of them. They had well-made insignias that had made people turn to them back when things were at peace. It even let the passengers enter the nobles’ area without problem, regardless of whether they came from a legitimate territory or not.

Confidence is key, basically.

What people didn’t know was that neither symbol referred to any territory in reality.

These two carriages were precisely Alterra’s escape carts.

"Go..."

Veronica naturally couldn’t go with them because that’d be too suspicious. If she went missing, the investigation would ultimately lead to her and where she had been during this time.

Rin and the others pulled the others inside. There happened to be smoke around the area too, making most avoid it just by association.

Kalfene, Marcus, and the others entered the carriages, having no time to think anymore. Veronica and the others watched them enter, ready to go back to the venue and pretend to be poisoned along with everyone else.

It was just that things couldn’t be as smooth as they hoped.

"Miss Veronica!" a yell came from the side, making them pale. Her eyes twitched as she turned, wanting to strangle someone.
