144: Tung tree is flammable! Kevin died!

"Shut up!"

The Mayan, who was called Captain, hissed at his companion.

"I heard him!"

The Captain's face darkened.

"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"

"Get out of here!"

"..."

The companion was stunned, then quietly moved to the side, silently observing Kevin and the others who were filling water.

"Quick!"

"Hurry up!"

"Everyone line up, one by one!"

"..."

Kevin stood to the side, directing the warriors behind him to draw water from the well, while he himself filled the water bags in front of him one by one, then neatly stacked them on the ground.

As time passed.

Dozens, even hundreds, of water bags were filled by Kevin and his group.

Finally, everyone silently carried a dozen or so water bags.

They turned around in an orderly fashion, ready to leave.

"..."

"I say..."

"Captain!"

"They're about to leave, are we going to do this or not?"

"..."

In the shade of the trees, the voices of two people could be heard.

"Wait!"

The Captain frowned and whispered to his companion beside him.

"..."

Dozens of seconds passed.

Watching Kevin lead the warriors behind him slowly leave, gradually disappearing from their sight.

The other person immediately grew anxious.

"Captain!"

"What are you still waiting for?"

"Everyone's gone!"

"We're still waiting for a..."

Slap!

The Captain directly slapped the back of the latter's head.

"Can you stop whining so much?"

"There were so many people just now, didn't you see them?"

"If we rushed out, could you beat them, or could I beat them?"

"Shut up!"

"Wait quietly!"

"..."

The other person immediately felt wronged, rubbed his throbbing occiput, and then weakly asked the Captain again.

"Then..."

"How long do we have to wait!"

"..."

The Captain froze.

Then he turned to look at his companion, on the verge of tears, and pleaded softly.

"Brother!"

"Can I call you brother?"

"Just stop talking!"

"This is a water source; if we wait for a smaller group to come for water, won't we be able to handle them?"

"Be quiet!"

"Wait!"

...

Soon after, Kevin led the Atlantis warriors back to the foot of the city wall, and after distributing all the water bags back to everyone.

Kevin found Wu Tian on the city wall.

"Your Majesty."

"..."

"Hmm."

Wu Tian looked back at him, pointing at the bundles of reddish-brown wood on the ground, and said to him.

"Don't rush to move these things for now."

"At the necessary moment, I will make them undergo some changes first, and then..."

Wu Tian smiled slightly.

"Only then can they exert their true function!"

"..."

"What function?"

Kevin couldn't help but ask curiously.

The great battle was imminent.

If he asked now, Wu Tian should tell him, right?

"Hehe..."

Wu Tian smiled slightly.

He pointed at the reddish-brown tree trunks on the ground and said to Kevin.

"This kind of tree is called a paulownia tree where I come from. The internal structure of this tree is actually quite peculiar; its entire wood has a very low density. Do you not understand what density means?"

"Never mind!"

Wu Tian scratched his head and continued.

"Anyway, the point is that this wood is very loose, with many gaps inside."

"So..."

Wu Tian lifted his foot and gently kicked the wood beneath him.

"With just one fire..."

"This wood will instantly burst into flames!"

"Moreover!"

"The fire will be intense and not easily extinguished!"

"Oh~"

Kevin nodded, but having never experienced a siege battle, he was still somewhat puzzled and asked Wu Tian with a frown.

"Then how do we use this?"

"For lighting?"

"Or to drive away their wolf cavalry?"

"..."

Wu Tian was stunned, then sighed slightly.

"You kid..."

"Never mind!"

"I'll tell you directly!"

"The effect of this wood after being ignited is only one: to smash it onto the Mayans when they attack the city!"

"Not only does it have a certain weight to smash apart their human ladders!"

"It can also set fire to the furry animal skins they wear!"

"Burn them to death!"

"..."

"Gulp..."

Kevin's throat bobbed.

His eyes showed admiration as he looked at Wu Tian; this method of combat was something he had never dared to imagine before. So... war!

It had so many intricacies.

He licked his lips.

Kevin felt parched just listening, and a strong hope of victory rose in his heart.

Unconsciously...

Kevin pulled out the water bag from his waist.

And brought it to his mouth.

"Gurgle!"

"..."

"Huh?"

Kevin was startled.

Then he looked at the shriveled water bag and scratched his head.

He was both amused and frustrated.

"My goodness, Your Majesty."

"I forgot to get water for myself when I was getting water for everyone just now!"

"Sigh!"

Sighing, Kevin shook his head.

"Your Majesty..."

"I'm going to get water now; I'll be back soon."

Then Kevin turned and left.

"..."

Suddenly...

Kevin, who had walked halfway, stopped, turned around, and looked at Wu Tian.

Kevin smiled brightly.

"You just wait here, okay!"

"Later!"

"I also want to personally operate this paulownia wood and smash those damned Mayans to death!"

"Hehe..."

"Go!"

"I'll wait for you!"

"..."

Wu Tian smiled faintly and waved his hand.

He resumed inspecting the city wall, which had been reinforced and heightened over the past month. Both personnel deployment and resource allocation were of utmost importance!

To wear down the Mayans' effective strength as much as possible during the siege battle.

Every detail had to be perfect!

...

A few minutes later, Kevin, who had come alone, reappeared by the well with his water bag in hand, emerging from the dense shade of the trees.

"Splash..."

The clear well water's surface was disturbed by a large stone bowl.

Kevin slowly scooped up the stone bowl and poured the water into his water bag.

"Gurgle..."

The water in the stone bowl gradually diminished.

Kevin lowered his head again, preparing to scoop more water from the well.

Suddenly!

A blurry figure appeared on the water's surface in front of Kevin.

"..."

"Who's there?!"

Kevin was startled!

He immediately dropped the water bag in his hand and reached for the broken sword at his waist!

However...

Before Kevin could grasp the hilt and draw the short sword.

"..."

"The one who will kill you!"

Pfft!

As a low roar fell!

A crimson, sharp crystal short sword pierced through Kevin's back, and its tip... emerged from his abdomen!

"Drip..."

Crimson, viscous blood dripped from the sword tip into the clear well water.

Slowly spreading...
