The construction of the city wall is urgent, and Haitang is personally supervising the work. The city wall needs to be dug, and they also need some plants like vines. Huoqiu nodded as he listened, "What are the plants like vines used for?"
"Planted on the inside of the city wall to reinforce it." A city wall without cement wouldn't be very sturdy, and while mud mixed with other materials has some binding properties, it's still lacking in many ways. So, what's needed is another type of defense.
At the beginning, Haitang directly told him to dig pits, "Choose a few places where outsiders are likely to come in, and dig the pits there." Having some basic equipment was essential. Upon hearing this, Huoqiu nodded and began preparations.
Haitang divided the people into several groups to prepare. Although there were complaints from the human side, Haitang stepped forward and said, "I know you are very dissatisfied with this matter. Why are you here to do the work, while the orcs are here to hunt? So you feel resentful."
Haitang looked at the people below and said, "However, you probably don't know that in this operation, the resources of the orc hunters will be handed over to the tribe at double the rate. After you finish, you will all receive the corresponding resources. Moreover, the strong people in each of your families will not need to be sent out."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The supplies were in place. Haitang needed laborers, but they didn't have the right to use strong men. Of course, strong men were available, but in this situation, they were reluctant to let their family members do the work.
However, Haitang knew very well about the importance of balancing work and rest. She was determined to ensure the nutritional value of the food. Soon, everyone was focused on building the city wall. They were determined to make the wall strong and to have enough stones.
There's a hill not far from here with lots of stones. Even if all the orcs were to stop working, some would still come and fetch the stones. Under these circumstances, the human race hasn't complained much in the last hundred years.
Of course, even more importantly, the food was delicious. Haitang's dishes were a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, and she prepared a variety of soups, grilled fish, and other dishes for everyone. She even cooked rice for everyone, which made everyone very happy.
Haitang was heartbroken about the loss of her rice, but after thinking about how this project would benefit everyone, she gritted her teeth and took it out. She was heartbroken, but... she couldn't be reluctant to part with it just because she was heartbroken. Probably because of Haitang's actions, other beastmen soon started giving her food as well.
To be honest, Haitang doesn't have many techniques for building city walls. She can only explore according to her own ideas. Especially for city walls, you can only add layers on top of each other if the adhesion is strong enough.
Haitang checked the adhesion and thought it was pretty good. Moreover, the city wall was a meter wide, and such a wide wall could not be pushed down at all. Under such circumstances, it was a good thing.
Under these circumstances, Haitang began to give orders. When Dongfanglong returned from hunting, he would look at Haitang and become unhappy to see that her little face was getting thinner and thinner. His Tangtang had lost a lot of weight.
Not only had Haitang lost weight, but everyone had lost a lot of weight. He walked over and asked, "Haitang, have you been working very hard?"
"No, not at all," Haitang shook her head. She hadn't worked hard at all; she didn't have to do anything, just supervise. Hearing this, Dongfang Long didn't believe her and still thought Haitang had worked hard. Haitang sighed helplessly, "How have you all been while I was away?"
"Hmm." I was just thinking about Haitang's cooking. Xiaohe's was also good, but not as good as Haitang's. However, not wanting Haitang to be too tired, I didn't say anything more.
Upon hearing this, Haitang glanced at Dongfang Long and said, "If you have nothing else to do, go back now. Don't get caught and made a foreman later."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Long nodded. Under these circumstances, Haitang went to check the city wall again. The wall was well-adheded and there were no cracks. She breathed a sigh of relief. Haitang also used some resin as an adhesive, and the effect was very good.
In this situation, the initial distance was ten meters, then twenty meters, and after finishing, they would come back to work on it. With many people and great strength, and each of them being a strongman, the project was able to be completed much faster.
While using a progress substitute, Haitang also built a very tall scaffold to serve as a watchtower, allowing a view of the situation not far away, where the city walls of the Haitang tribe were under construction in full swing.
In just half a month, the city wall was already a hundred meters long. With a length of one hundred meters, Haitang started to have others plant vines to climb directly up the wall. However, the vines were too heavy outside, so after hesitating, she chose to give up.
Fearing that others might climb up the ridge, Haitang, after setting up the ridge, also climbed up the high wall to take a look. It was piled up ten meters high, and even the tiger clan beastmen could not easily jump over it.
Of course, jumping was impossible. The city wall was specially designed so that people could walk down to some wooden spikes on the wall to prevent others from bumping into it. If someone tried to do that, they would just get a bloody head.
Huo Qiu was very satisfied with the city wall. The people in the tribe were all about the same, making a progress of 100 meters in half a month, but that was still a small progress. The speed gradually increased a lot later on.
The reason was that everyone was unfamiliar with the business at first, but after they became familiar with it, they sped up the process. Under these circumstances, Haitang also breathed a sigh of relief, as the people on the side in charge of the progress had become familiar with her.
They all came to ask Haitang how to transform into a beast. Haitang told them, "Eat." Everyone blinked and looked at Haitang while they were eating.
