Alterra Town!

[Congratulations! Alterra Village (Lv3) has officially upgraded to Alterra Town (Lv1)!]

The victory announcement resounded in everyone's minds, and—after a moment of silence—the surroundings exploded into cheers.

"WHOOOO!!!" 

"OHYEAHH!"

"TOWN! We're a Town now!!" 

Many people even had their hands up, fists clenched, and mouths forming 'os', as if to express their happiness using their whole bodies. 

Althea and Garan—covered in sweat and grime like everyone else—met each other's eyes, both breaking into smiles. 

During the latter part of the mob clearing, they fought closer and closer to where the other was until they were in each other's sight at all times. 

When the announcement was made, Garan headed to the wall and jumped on the carcass of some beasts that died there. 

He effortlessly landed on the battlement next to his wife, who gracefully put away her weapon as she faced him.
