“What’s in a tree?” Luo Ying’er laughed.
“The trunk of a tree, the leaves of a tree.”
“What else?”
“The roots of the tree.”
“Yes, tree roots.” Luo Ying’er laughed.
The ant-man commander frowned, thought carefully for a while, and suddenly it all became clear at once.
“For this tree to grow, it must have roots, and a tree’s roots that are even longer than the tree itself, so all we anthros have to do is lurk underground and string the roots together, then in effect every tree is also being linked together?”
Luo Ying’er smiled and nodded, “Good, and, because it is artificial and because of the concealment of your actions, you are able to feel behind the enemy as you work underground while we have drawn their attention above us, so that we invariably surround them with fire, and once the fire is up, there is no place for them to even try to escape. ”
This was a far better move than the wind, for
For a fire started by the wind always spreads from its starting point to its end, so that, if the enemy finds that he really cannot resist, he is able to keep retreating backwards, even until he withdraws from the edge of the forest to escape the danger.
Although this could also defuse Night Sky City’s attack, it was never as fierce or as crisp as the killing power that came from directly encircling them.
“However, the roots of the trees are hidden underground and starting a fire would be too enclosed by the conditions and such to have a high ignition rate. So there are two other points you should be aware of if you are going to do a cascade.”
“One is to try to keep the roots relatively dry and with as little soil attached to them as possible, and secondly and most importantly, the space around the roots should be more or less large, and at the same time, there should be some sort of air outlet.”
“The fire has to rely on the help of air to burn more vigorously.”
“So the amount of work involved in this job is enormous.”
To put it simply and directly
The job of the anthros is nothing more than to first dig out passages of a certain size under the trees, and then with the help of the passages, to bring together as many of the intricate roots of the trees as possible, and then it is these passages that have to have air inlets from time to time, and then it is the body of each tree itself, which also has to have openings where it comes into contact with the ground, so that the fire from the roots can run up the tree itself and end up being completely set alight.
The workload is exceptionally large.
Not to mention doing it, just listening to it was overwhelming.
“Not to mention having to do other things, just to just fight the passages, to have such a large area yet to fight through it in twelve hours is already very difficult. Now, I can also count on understanding the hardships of the alliance master.” Hai Jin also sighed.
If the anthros were left to do it, not only would it tire them out enough, but most importantly, it would most likely end up being pointless to do the belt.
Therefore, Han
San Qian was reluctant to open his mouth, and it was precisely for this reason.
“Yes, even if we narrow the circle of range and use the other side’s present-day position as the core area, there needs to be a slightly larger distance around it all the same, so that the fire can have the effect we want when it burns to them.” Luo Ying’er said.
“The enemy army has retreated ten miles, and it will actually take a lot of time for us to dig an underground passage to get there.” Hai Jin said and patted the ant-man commander’s shoulder, “Now you and I know what they are discussing, and our curiosity has been satisfied.”
The Ant-Man Commander smiled and nodded, “That’s true.”
“Let’s go back, they’re drinking less and less, and their interest will fade.” Luo Ying’er laughed.
Hai Jin nodded and turned around to head inside.
The Ant-Man Commander also followed behind, only, without taking two steps, he suddenly covered his stomach.
The two who were walking ahead of him were instantly
He turned back, and Hai Jin said with concern, “What’s wrong?”
“Holy sh*t, I don’t know if it’s because we’ve been fighting for too long recently, the food has been rather average, and now that we’re suddenly eating good food, this f*cking seems a bit out of place, my stomach hurts.”
Hai Jin gave him a look, “Should I get you a doctor?”
“sh*t, am I that delicate? No, I need to go to the toilet, you guys go in first.”
Hai Jin and Luo Ying’er looked at each other and nodded their heads.
After the two of them went in, the Ant-Man Commander, who was covering his stomach and pretending to go to the toilet, suddenly stood up and walked towards the city wall at an extremely fast pace.
There was not a trace of stomach pain in that look.
Soon, he walked towards a hidden underground entrance under the city walls.
After breaking through the pitch blackness, he turned around and arrived at the underground space where the anthros were located.
“Order everyone, gather immediately!”
