At this time, the sun had already risen high.
Under Richard’s mobilization, the entire territory was also mobilized.
Except for the 500 people who needed to take care of the wheat in the wheat fields, weeding and watering, the rest of the people began to prepare under Richard’s arrangement.
“Ali, arrange a thousand people to dig a canal here and connect it to the dry river tributary in the south. Keep it upstream first and open it up after the main canal is dug!”
“Yes!” Ali nodded.
Richard planned to dig a dry canal to drain the water from the swamp to facilitate their attack.
“By the way, remember to block the lower reaches of the dry river over there, so that the poisonous water in the swamp will not enter the river and poison the fish in the river. Those are all assets of our Changying Territory!”
Richard ordered immediately.
The water in the swamp does not flow all year round, and no one knows how many germs there are. Once it flows out, it will not only poison the fish, but also the fishermen and fish eaters will be poisoned to a certain extent.
Moreover, the resource storage in Changying Territory is not rich enough now. The main source of food is to rely on the mountains, water, and forests.
The fish in the river are also one of their main sources of food.
“”Okay, lord, I’ll arrange it right away!”
Ali said, and seeing that Richard had no other instructions, he immediately began to mobilize personnel.
At this time, he noticed a large number of people moving, and then Cinderella, who came after hearing the inquiry, also came over:
“Master, is there anything I can do?”
Richard smiled when he saw Cinderella actively looking for work. He was very satisfied with her initiative.
So he said:
“You take some people with you to our territory warehouse, convert the processed lime into quicklime, and then transport it all over!”
“”What is this for?” Cinderella asked curiously,”Is it for attacking the swamp witch? Once the water is drained, I can harden the remaining mud!”
“It won’t work.” Richard shook his head and smiled,”What I need to prevent now are the poisonous insects and bacteria in the swamp. Your transformation ability can only be used to transform dead things. Many poisonous insects move in the swamp and have special channels.
Even if the swamp is solidified, those insects and bacteria will not die. Once these poisonous insects come up along their channels, the bacteria will also spread all over the ground, and it will be even more difficult to deal with them!”
“I understand, you want to burn them to death with quicklime!” Cinderella’s eyes lit up,”You are so smart! I will do it right away!”
As she said that, she ran away and ran towards the warehouse!
She felt extremely satisfied to be used by her master and to be able to use her abilities.
Richard looked at her figure and immediately smiled and shook his head.
This girl, he clearly told her to take people with her, but she ran away by herself?
It seems that she has been used to being a servant since she was a child and has no habit of commanding others to do things.
So he stretched out his hand to call a small team leader:
“Take fifty people to the warehouse. Cinderella has already gone there. You can use the car to pull the quicklime over when the time comes!”
“Yes! Lord!” The man nodded, then turned around, pointed at fifty people, and left quickly.
Cinderella came to the warehouse and then remembered that she forgot to bring anyone with her, but since she was already here, she should start her work first!
The staff guarding the warehouse knew her and knew that she was a big hit with the lord. When they heard that she came on the lord’s order, they immediately opened the warehouse.
Cinderella was about to go in when she suddenly turned around and said:
“Oh, go find the lord in the eastern suburbs and tell him that I forgot to bring the cargo carrier. Please arrange it for me, lord!”
The man nodded.
She just stretched out her hand to try to change the properties of the lime, and saw the man coming back.
“What’s wrong?” Cinderella asked.
The man spread his hands:
“They are already here, pushing a cart. This must have been arranged by the Lord.”
Cinderella was immediately ashamed and a little embarrassed.
Since the people who were pulling the goods had come, she did not dare to delay any longer. She quickly closed her eyes and felt the changes in the magic ratio.
Since the properties of the processed lime and quicklime were of the same origin, she quickly analyzed it.
After that, large chunks of quicklime were transformed and then carried onto the cart.
“Be careful, wrap your hands with cloth when lifting, so as not to get hurt by quicklime due to sweating!”
The team leader reminded everyone while helping to lift things.
These things were also the experience he had just learned some time ago.
……
The quicklime in the warehouse was transported to the eastern suburbs. Under Richard’s instructions, they laid out the lime.
At the same time, Richard began to plan the approximate amount of quicklime needed according to the previously calculated area of the swamp.
After reserving a sufficient amount, Richard said:
“Place this pile of quicklime here, as well as the new quicklime delivered later, at the bottom of the newly dug canal!
I want to disinfect all the water flowing out of this swamp!”
“Yes!”
Everyone on the scene immediately started to work.
Some people carried the limestone, while others were responsible for catching it and placing it.
More people continued to dig backwards downstream of the main channel.
As the sun rose to the zenith, the long main channel was finally dug, and the bottom of the main channel was also covered with limestone.
“Lord, the project is ready. Shall we start digging and releasing water now?”
Under the scorching sun, Ali came over and bowed to ask for instructions.
Richard shook his head:
“In the process of treating sewage with quicklime, a lot of sludge will be produced. Send someone to the warehouse and tell them that I asked Cinderella to bring it over!”
In fact, since the composition of quicklime and slaked lime is basically the same, they have similar effects in treating sewage.
But quicklime can produce high temperature, which can kill those stubborn viruses and bacteria. This is the benefit of quicklime.
As for the side effects of quicklime, sludge is not a big problem.
However, once the sludge in the dry canal increases, it will affect the fluidity and the discharge speed of the swamp water, which will not be worth the loss.
So the witch’s ability can be used at this time.
“”Yes!” Ali nodded.
Soon, Cinderella came running from a distance with her skirt lifted.
On the way, she even took the time to turn the lime powder on her body into hard stone powder, and then shook it off while running.
When she ran in front of Richard, her whole body had returned to a clean state.
Richard suddenly envied Cinderella’s ability.
“Ella, solidify the sides and bottom of the main channel, preferably into stone, and be careful not to affect the quicklimestone at the bottom of the main channel, can you do it?”
Cinderella smiled:
“”It’s nothing! Master, just watch me!”
As she said this, she squatted beside the dry canal and stretched out her palm to press on the edge of the dry canal.
The next moment, a change was visible to the naked eye. The entire dry canal began to petrify from the point where Cinderella’s hand touched it. In the blink of an eye, it petrified to the distance.
Even after the dry canal turned a corner in the distance, the place invisible to the naked eye was still controlled by Cinderella’s precise magic.
Magic is her other pair of eyes.
“It’s done!” Cinderella jumped in front of Richard, waiting for praise.
“Good job! I will reward you well tonight!”
Richard smiled and patted her shoulder, which made her very happy.
……
“Release the water!”
With Richard’s order, the war officially began! When the workers heard the order, they threw pieces of lime into the hole they were going to dig.
To prevent the water from flooding over and poisoning the workers. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The gap was getting bigger and bigger, and countless dark green water was released into the dry canal.
After it came into contact with the limestone in the dry canal, it emitted a lot of white smoke.
As the water flow became larger and larger, the water level in the swamp began to gradually drop.
However, due to the large area of the swamp, it was not easy to detect for a while.
At this speed, at least one afternoon today would not be enough to drain it.[]
It should be almost done tomorrow morning.
Richard thought so.
It did give the soldiers in the militia training camp some time to adapt to the weapons and equipment.
“Sir, lunch is ready. Would you like to send it over here for the workers to eat?”A knight’s attendant walked out of the town and came to Richard and asked.
Richard looked around and said:
“Ali, tell them to leave half of the people here and let the others go back to eat! Just replace them after dinner.
I have other things to arrange after dinner!”
“Yes!”
After hearing this, Ali turned around and shouted:
“Attention everyone, the odd-numbered work teams should go back to eat first, and then come back to change teams after eating!”
……
After lunch, Richard asked the workers to search for other deep holes in the swamp.���In the place where the water was located, several more exits were dug. These exits did not need to be diverted to the dry river in the distance as before.
It was enough to dig into the dry canal that had been dug this morning.
However, there was a small problem here. Because the previous dry canal had been petrified by Cinderella’s magic power, Cinderella still needed to open an opening for the new dry canal tributary.
In order to facilitate her work, Cinderella asked Richard for instructions and asked those who were responsible for transporting lime to directly transport the slaked lime for Cinderella to transform on the spot.
Cinderella was very tired that day.
It was not a problem of magic power, but a problem of physical strength.
Even with such consumption of magic power, she still felt that her magic power was sufficient, mainly because her recovery speed was too fast after the magic power was consumed. But after all, her body was still a mortal body, so she consumed a lot of physical strength. If she had not been treated harshly by her stepmother since she was a child, her body would be considered strong, but I am afraid she would not be able to make it to dinner.
……
In the early morning, a burst of ghost howling woke up the witch deep in the swamp.
“Are you looking for death? You have delayed my plan to make medicine. I will turn all of you into my experimental materials!”
The witch howled angrily.
She believed that she needed enough sleep to have enough energy to ensure that she would not make mistakes when synthesizing the potion.
“”Oh no! For some unknown reason, the water in the swamp is getting less and less!”
The witch frowned:
“what happened?”
“I don’t know!” Several mud crabs waved their claws and said nervously.
“”Waste!” the witch cursed, then stretched out her hand to summon the vampire bat:
“Go, follow the direction of the water flow and check what’s going on!”
A dozen vampire bats immediately flew out of the bushes and drifted away.
……
As for Richard, he had already assembled his troops.
The workers who were working yesterday had been transferred back.
They would only be a drag if they were here. If any of the 4.6 million escaped and encountered them, they would only end up dead.
After all, these people usually just worked and had not learned any combat skills.
At the edge of the swamp, Richard said loudly:
“Everyone remember, although Cinderella will help you solidify the swamp, if there is any omission, once you fall into the swamp, you must immediately fall down without any struggle.
You can use your spears to hook nearby objects to pull yourself out!
I repeat, the more you struggle in the swamp, the faster you sink!
There are water ghosts and mud crabs in the swamp, you’d better use your spears to pull yourself out immediately!
Otherwise, you just pray that you don’t fall in!”
Richard had just said this when he suddenly heard the sound of wings flapping. He squinted his eyes and immediately saw more than a dozen dark red blood bats flying from a distance.
Richard took the bow and arrow from the hand of someone beside him and shot an arrow without hesitation.
Next, he shot arrow after arrow into the air at a lightning speed!
Bats rely more on ultrasound to determine their positions, so they react very quickly to the arrows flying.
But even so, they did not dodge the speed of Richard’s arrows!
It can only be said that the world’s martial arts are invincible only by speed!
As long as it is fast enough, even if you watch my attack, you can’t dodge it!
In a blink of an eye, all the bats fell down.
Cinderella’s eyes flashed, and she immediately took a step forward and stretched out her hand to press the ground!
In a blink of an eye, the area within a hundred meters in front of her eyes was directly solidified into black stone.
The arrows fell to the ground with the bats!
Immediately, a knight went there and picked up the arrows one by one.
These arrows are made of extraordinary materials and are of great use at critical moments!
“We are exposed, march at full speed! Rilla, start!”
Richard gave the order decisively!
The four official knights beside him all showed a look of eagerness to fight!
……
“All the bats I sent out were killed!”
Deep in the swamp, the witch suddenly opened her eyes wide and muttered to herself, then screamed loudly:
“There are enemies invading! Everyone prepare to defend and annihilate the invaders!”
As the witch’s voice fell, her men jumped out from every corner!
The witch jumped to the highest point of the bushes and spoke loudly in front of her men:
“The one who came must be Richard, the Lord of the Long Eagle Territory! I didn’t expect that he would have the guts to come to my swamp before I went to find him. He is simply courting death!
Hehehehe… In the swamp, my men are invincible!
I really praise Richard’s stupidity! I can save those potions!”
