"Then thank you high priests for your trust!" Nalant nodded.
"Baron Narant, tell me what we need to do, what we need to prepare, and how many manpower we need to dispatch."
All the high priests looked solemn at the moment, and they were all ready to cooperate at all costs.
Seeing how solemn they were, as if they were making a big move, Narant smiled.
"Actually, there aren't many things prepared, just wood and wooden stakes."
"As for manpower, we only need 50,000 coolies!"
"Timber and stakes, fifty thousand coolies?"
"Baron Narant, the number is too small. Why don't we mobilize another 200,000 ordinary guards?"
All the high priests of the Kingdom of God were shocked. When they heard Nalant's request, they felt a little guilty for no reason.
After all, the better the method, the more preparation work must be done.
If nothing else, 50,000 people might not be enough to serve as food in front of this holy city, right?
"The escort is also fine, but let's send 20,000 to 30,000 people. We only need long archers!"
Seeing the expressions of the high priests of the Kingdom of God, Nalant did not explain in detail.
However, longbowmen do still need some.
Seeing that everyone wanted to talk, Nalant waved his hand, "Everyone, my method really doesn't require more manpower and materials!"
"Okay, then we all listen to Baron Nalant!"
Only then did the high priests of the Kingdom of God finally give up.
"Very well, high priests, please stop your siege battles in the next few days!"
"Give me a week. If my method cannot break through the city wall after a week, then follow your previous method!"
Narante spoke.
"Okay, Baron Narante!"
Naturally, the high priests had no objection.
The attack was quickly stopped.
After the attack stopped, a group of allied high priests dispatched 50,000 serf coolies according to Nalant's instructions.
Narant divided the 50,000 serf coolies into two teams.
A detachment of thirty thousand men went to cut down the chains and obtain timber and long stakes.
The other 20,000 people were sent to the upper reaches of the river on the left side of the Holy City to search for tidal flats.
Soon a day passed and with 50,000 people, the wood and stakes were immediately ready.
"Baron Narante, what should we do next?"
A group of high priests from the Kingdom of God have been surrounding Nalant since yesterday.
It seemed that after they stopped attacking the city, they had nothing to do.
Nalant, on the other hand, looked helpless, "Now let the longbowmen provide cover and let the coolies transport the wood to the foot of the holy city wall and light it on fire."
"Use wood to burn the walls of the Holy City?"
All the high priests were stunned.
"That's right, burning the walls of the Holy City!"
Narante smiled and nodded.
"Okay... okay, Baron Narante!"
Although they had doubts, the high priests of the Kingdom of God tolerated their curiosity and followed Nalant's instructions.
Soon, the coolies, under the cover of longbowmen and magic armored vehicles, transported the wood to the lower part of the city wall for ignition.
After a while, you can see the walls of the Holy City shrouded in flames and smoke.
Of course, because of the height of the city wall, the burning of the flames would ultimately only affect a height of more than ten meters in the Holy City.
Nalant also told the high priests to keep the flames burning in the corners of the city wall and not extinguish them.
After explaining, he personally rushed to the upper reaches of the river on the left side of the Holy City.
At this time, 20,000 coolies were already waiting again.
"Lumba, take a look at this terrain and instruct these coolies to build a water dam."
"It doesn't need to be too strong, it just needs to be able to maintain water storage for more than ten days."
"Other than that, the only requirement is to be fast, and it can be built within two days!"
Nalant brought the goblin Lumba over and immediately began to give instructions.
"Yes, your noble lord, this matter is taken care of by Lumba."
"Such a simple dam, with 20,000 people and enough wooden piles, can be completed in just one day and one night."
Lumba looked at the shallows ahead and patted his chest in assurance.
The reason why we chose to build a dam in this shoal is to reduce the difficulty of construction.
Otherwise, if you are at a depth of three to four meters, you still need to make a lot of preliminary preparations.
But in this shoal, a temporary dam can be easily completed by inserting large wooden piles more than ten meters long and then reinforcing them with sand, gravel and soil.
"Okay, Rumba, then I'll leave this place to you!"
Nalant nodded. He felt relieved to leave such a simple task to Lumba.
After returning to the camp, the front and right wall of the Holy City were still in fierce flames.
A group of high priests are always paying attention to the fire. Once the fire is weak, they will direct the coolies to continue to add fire.
Of course, the burning city wall is not the entire section, but only about a mile wide.
In this way, it is very easy to keep the fire burning.
If it really works, the width here is completely enough.
Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner and according to plan, Nalant stopped paying attention and went back to his tent to start practicing.
…
And Narant can rest easily.
But his proposed move left the Sun God Kingdom a little confused.
Silas originally estimated the days, but now more than half of the half-year required by the Sun God has passed.
And according to the current form, he can definitely defend until then.
Therefore, he is also in a relaxed mood.
But just yesterday, the Allied Forces of the Kingdom of God suddenly made a strange move.
They actually stopped attacking the city. Instead, they set up firewood under the city wall and burned the wall with fire.
Are they planning to use fire to melt the rocks?
Is this mindless?
Or is it whimsical?
Everyone knows that unless it is iron ore or copper ore, you cannot melt ordinary stone even if you burn it for a lifetime.
