For the people traveling to Alterra, they camped out somewhere within the villages’ zone of influence. It was a patch of forest with relatively less dense trees, though they did have to form some clusters since their group was too massive to occupy just one area.
"By estimate, we have entered the zone of Terran territories. This means that. The delineation of Alterra Town is about half a day away," Mao said. "This is a good place to camp."
The delineation of a territory referred to its radius of effect. This was where town-level monsters would start appearing. For example, there were some towns whose surroundings were more than a few kilometers had town-level monsters, some had wider influence, and so on.
For example, territories like Alterra easily affected Bright and Shrao village, which were tens of kilometers away.
Obviously, they could not face that area as they were now. The group was tired, especially after that fight with the Voumi forces.
Speaking of the fight, it was really a challenging one, though, because of Otto’s quick and decisive handling of the level 40, the enemy’s momentum faltered easily.
The soldiers, Sammy, Mao, and Minko—as well as Obi, who was also level 40 by the way—quickly took advantage of the pause and started a counterattack.
They were quickly supported by the rest of the Alterrans and allies, and suddenly the arrogant enemies found their formation destroyed, and each one of them had to fight against a handful of enemies.
The average level of their side was lower than the enemies’, but who could survive a shower of elements? Not Voumi’s powerhouses.
They did not expect a few powerhouses to be in this party, and they certainly weren’t expecting the ’weak’ ones to be so brave in front of dozens of level 30s!!
Anyway, the rescues were in awe.
To watch the people who unilaterally abused and tortured them for months struggle and lose was...liberating, to say the least.
They gaped as Otto created small tornadoes that imbalanced the beasts, they blinked as they saw Sammy’s powerful wind arrows that never missed, and they swooned whenever Obi’s sharp fiery slashes took down an enemy.
They clapped every time Mao created earth shields to cover for them or created holes that enemies’ would fall into. And then there was Minko and his skilful use of water, including suffocating a handful of enemies at a time.
They didn’t know elements could be used like that!
Even their trainors in Voumi Town only knew the basics, demoing the bare minimum to show off their ’prowess’ to the low-level slaves.
They’d show off and expect them to figure it out on their own, often times throwing them to beast mobs in the name of training.
The former slaves’ current strength was based on grit and luck, and they felt sad when they thought of their perished friends who could’ve survived if they had just been taught well enough.
Anyway, Otto and Obi were so overwhelming! The strength of level 40s was really something else.
Then there were also the soldiers, whose fighting abilities far exceeded their levels. For example, Sammy focused on handling the level 35 Mes, while Minko took on Len with a few Alterrans.
And the level difference was not small, but the soldiers were never pushed back at all!
Seeing the tide turn to their side so quickly was really unbelievable. The former slaves soon got rid of their shock and joined in the fight!
