The construction speed of the camp wasn't very fast. There was no other way, the South Flower City already knew that they were coming. Therefore, the South Flower City had already cut down all the trees on the Zhuhua Mountain. The entire mountain looked very bare and ugly.
However, doing this was indeed useful. Because they didn't have enough wood, the construction speed of Stone Hammer's camp wasn't very fast.
After five days, they managed to build two camps. Among them, Stone Hammer's camp was already built very well. There was a trench outside the camp as well as a fence. The entire camp was ready to deal with ordinary battles.
On the other hand, the construction of the camp wasn't very good. It only had a fence, and this fence wasn't very good. The gap in the middle was very big, and there weren't many tents in the camp. It could only be considered a very simple camp.
At this time, Year 119 led the army and directly entered the camp. After arriving, Year 119 immediately beat the drums and called all the Generals of the city-states to the main tent. Stone Hammer and the others also came.
After everyone entered the tent, Year 19 looked at everyone, then turned to Stone Hammer and the others and said, "General Stone, you've worked hard. To be able to set up the camp in such a short period of time, it really wasn't easy."
"That's right, it's really not easy. I've been in the army for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen such a simple camp. It's really admirable that General Shi was able to build such a camp." Just as Year 19's voice fell, a sarcastic voice was heard.
Stone Hammer looked towards the source of the voice and discovered that the one who spoke was the commander of Bullhead City. This person's surname was Wu, but Stone Hammer didn't know his name. Everyone just called him General Wu.
Stone Hammer looked at General Wu and said, "Alliance Lord is too polite. Because the South Flower City's people cut down all the trees on the mountain, we couldn't find much wood. The wood was transported from afar, so the camp was built very simply. I hope the Alliance Lord can forgive us."
Year 119 generously waved his hand and said, "That's not it. General Shi, you've been leading the vanguard all this time, opening a path for the entire army. It's been hard on you. How about this, General Shi, your vanguard can rest for a while. Leave the rest to us."
Stone Hammer's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Lord Alliance Master, what do you mean by this? As the vanguard, we are naturally the first to attack. How can we rest at this time? "
When Nineteen and the others saw Stone Hammer's reaction, they couldn't help but feel happy. However, Nineteen still said, "General Stone, as the vanguard, you've been working very hard. We just want to give General Stone some time to rest. General Stone should lead the army and have a good rest."
Shi Chui looked at Nian Nineteen and said with an ashen face, "Alliance Master, you really don't need us to attack Zhu Huamen?"
Looking at Shi Chui's appearance, Nian Nineteen was even happier. He hurriedly said, "General Shi, you should rest for a while. Even if you're not tired, your subordinates are."
"That's right. Didn't General Shi say that the wood you used to build your camp was transported from afar? Isn't this very tiring? Therefore, it's better for General Shi to rest. "The one who said this was General Wu. The other Generals also chimed in. In an instant, Shi Chui seemed to have been besieged by everyone.
Stone Hammer looked at these people, then he coldly snorted and said, "Since everyone says so, then I won't say anything else. However, I'll say the ugly words first. Since you want us to rest, then we can rest. If you want us to fight in the future, then don't blame me for not giving you face." Then Stone Hammer's face turned pale as he closed his eyes. It seemed like he didn't want to see anymore.
When Nian Nineteen and the others heard this, they smiled faintly. They simply didn't care about Shi Chui's threat. In their opinion, there were so many of them, so there was no need for Shi Chui to make a move. If he didn't want to fight, then there were others who wanted to. Using this to threaten them was too naive.
However, Nian Nineteen was still the Alliance Master, so he still had to show his demeanor. He looked at Shi Chui and said, "General Shi, there's no need to be angry. We're doing this for your own good. If General Shi wants to rest for a while, then we naturally have no reason to disagree. Therefore, General Shi, please rest at ease."
Shi Chui closed his eyes and snorted. He didn't even open his eyelids. The Generals of Stone Ox City also had ashen faces, but they didn't say anything.
Upon seeing this, Nian Nineteen and the others were naturally very happy. They felt that they had been led by the nose by Shi Chui and the others. Now, they could finally get their revenge.
Nian Nineteen also knew that he couldn't provoke Shi Chui and the others anymore. He discovered that these people who followed Zhao Hai were fearless. If he provoked them too much, then they might retaliate. If they really lost face, then as the Alliance Master, he wouldn't be able to do anything to them. After all, the Patriarchs of the various clans were sitting in their camps. If he dared to be too rash, then the Ancestors would deal with him.
The only people who weren't happy in the tent were the Zhe Clan's Patriarch. Although the Zhe Clan's Patriarch was happy to see Shi Chui and the others lose face, they still remembered Shi Chui's last words. They wanted to scheme against Shi Chui and the others and make them suffer more losses. But now, Shi Chui and the others actually said that they wouldn't give them face in the future. This clearly showed that they wouldn't fight in the future.
If you don't fight, then how can I make you suffer losses? This made the She Family's Patriarch unhappy. When he saw the smile on Nineteen's face, he couldn't help but curse the other party for being an idiot. However, there was nothing he could do. The She Family's Patriarch was very clear that Nineteen and the other city-states were the ones who did this. If the She Family opposed this, then it would be equivalent to slapping Nineteen and the other city-states' faces. This wouldn't be good for Nineteen and the other city-states.
Although the Zhe Clan's Patriarch looked down on Nian Nineteen, Nian Nineteen's group still hadn't been defeated. They still had an army in their hands. Falling out with Nian Nineteen's group at this time wasn't a good thing. Therefore, the Zhe Clan's Patriarch could only endure and not say anything.
At this time, Stonehammer and the others were having a hard time holding back their laughter. They already knew that Year One's group would do this. Moreover, they had already thought of a way to deal with it before coming here. Stonehammer's previous words were all part of their plan. They wanted to act as if they were going to attack no matter what and then lure out the last sentence. This was their main goal. They didn't think that they would be able to achieve their goal so smoothly. Looking at Year One's group's complacent appearance, Stonehammer and the others were holding back their laughter until their intestines were about to burst.
Year 19 lightly coughed, then he looked at the people in the tent and said, "General Shi and the others have really worked hard this time. Moreover, they discovered a big problem, the problem of wood. Everyone should know that Mount Zhuhua doesn't have any wood left. If we want to attack the city, then we will need all kinds of siege weapons, and all of these require wood. What do you think we should do about this?"
What do you think? "Everyone was silent. This matter wasn't easy to handle. This was because an army attacking a city wouldn't bring siege weapons along with them. This was because this would put a lot of pressure on the logistics. Therefore, their siege weapons were usually made on the battlefield. In any case, it wasn't very difficult to make them. They only needed some wood and a small amount of iron.
Armies usually had craftsmen with them. Under normal circumstances, these craftsmen would repair damaged weapons, repair damaged vehicles, and make various kinds of equipment. These jobs were all done by these craftsmen. Therefore, it was not difficult to forge iron pieces. As for wood, they had never worried about it before. In the Spiritual Weapon World, there were too many trees. There was never a lack of wood.
However, they didn't expect that this rule wouldn't apply to Mount Zhuhua. The trees here had already been cut down. In other words, the most important material for siege weapons was gone. Without wood, there was no way to make siege weapons. And without siege weapons, it would be even more difficult for them to attack the city.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Nian Nineteen frowned. Then he turned to the She Family's Patriarch and said, "Patriarch She, you are the landlords, so you should be very familiar with the terrain here. May I ask if there are any usable wood here?"
Hearing Nian Nineteen's question, the She Family's Patriarch thought for a moment before replying, "Only Mount Zhuhua has some wood. Aside from Mount Zhuhua, only Mount Tieping produces wood that can be used to make siege weapons. However, Mount Tieping is more than 200 li away from here. It's too inconvenient to transport."
Nian Nineteen frowned and said, "Is there no other place that can produce wood? 200 li away, it would take too much time to transport wood back. "
The Zhe Family's Patriarch thought for a moment, then he said, "Alliance Head, only the wood from Tieping Mountain can be used to make siege weapons. Although the other mountains also produce some wood, those wood can be used to make other things, but it's not enough to make siege weapons. Alliance Head, how about we transfer some siege weapons from the rear and make some ourselves. This way, I think we'll have enough siege weapons soon."
Hearing the She Family's Patriarch, Nian Nineteen nodded and said, "Alright, that's the only thing we can do. Everyone needs to guard the camp for the next few days. Aside from taking turns to reinforce the camp, we also need to go to Mount Zhuhua and scold them. Let's see how those fellows in Nanhua Sect react." Everyone nodded.
Year 19 looked at everyone and said, "This time, our army is here to do our best and take down the Nanhua City-State. Once we do, we must take down Zhuhua Mountain in the shortest time possible and attack the Nanhua City-State. We'll show everyone who dares to help the tyrant that we're determined to fight against the Holy Academy."
Everyone roared in agreement, and their morale soared.
