After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1660

Chapter 1660: Spying and Observing

"Hey," Hubert asked. "Why don’t we just attack one particularly annoying village over and over?"

They all looked at him, and most blinked while some nodded.

It wasn’t that Alterra didn’t consider this. They really did, and they were definitely not above doing something like this.

After all, it would be the best guarantee for the safety of their fighters, who’d be very vulnerable to enemy attacks since they were on the attacking side.

However, if possible, they would not abuse this. One, it would be too predictable if they did this. What if they had strong enemies who waited to ambush their people?

Another, not only did it feel inhumane to do so, but there would be no resources to take anymore after the second time.

Territories came rarely, and while the creation of tokens was still a mystery to them, they knew they didn’t appear too often. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Regardless of the owners, the system territories were heaven-sent to people just trying to survive in this turbulent world. Destroying one unnecessarily was effectively taking away the chance of life for many innocents, too.

Of course, if they determined that the village they were attacking would be too dangerous to keep standing, that was a different matter. By that time, though, their patterns would’ve been seen as unpredictable, so they could probably avoid ambushes unless someone leaked the territory they’d attack next.

Still, they’d try to plant decent citizens as Lords if possible, but otherwise it was a free-for-all.

Further, if they ran out of ’worthy’ territories to target, then they’d definitely have to repeatedly attack certain places.

That would take a while, though. According to the last report before contact was cut, there was an inordinate number of territories they could attack. Some were Terran, some were Terran Villages taken over by locals, and there were also pure aborigine territories.

The scouting teams hadn’t even been mobilized for long. That said, most of these targets were from the west and east, where they knew the most information about.

While the West and the East diplomatic teams had already made round trips to Alterra, the north-bound ones had yet to return.

The North had the largest collection of villages, and the place they had the least contact with and information about.

Except for those at the edges (which they had yet to establish contact with), it seemed like most of the Northern territories had been untouched by aborigines for much longer than others.

They were therefore able to develop more.

As for how they’d determine which territories to attack and which ones to ally with or make subsidiaries, they had to remain low-key in their investigations.
