Chapter 141 The Fire spreads

As soon as I left the house, I saw a pile of firewood, which had risen up several hills on the level beyond the pool. If this fire had been lit, in less than half an hour the smoke would have covered the entire bottom of the sinkhole.

In the view of the great tribesmen, when a fire breaks out, we either sit there and die, or we rush out. And their men were guarding the entrance of the cliff passage, waiting for us to send our heads up.

Although we are more numerous, we are still at a disadvantage. Even if we had armor, it would be a great loss to attack directly, because the passage is too narrow for them to throw stones at us.

After watching for a while, I went back to the dining room for breakfast. I told everyone to finish their meal and not to leave. We had to discuss the next battle arrangement.

Finished the meal, we are very active around.

I asked Nanova, "Brother Nano, you know your kingdom better than anyone. What do you think we should do next?"

"I think they will launch a big attack tonight, deplete our energy and set fire to it," nanova said. If we go straight in, they'll beat us in the head, and if we don't go out and hide in the house, when the fire is over, they'll come down and search it, and think we were all burned or smoked."

"Chief, we have a house. We can hide in the house. When the fire is over, we can take them by surprise." "Suggested a Nano.

I smiled. "The smoke will seep in through the door, and the smoke and fire will burn the air, and we'll probably suffocate in there."

"What is air? "He asked blankly.

I waved a hand: "this you don't need to understand, anyway we stay in the house is not desirable."

"And asked big Brother to teach us how to do it." Nanova rose to ask respectfully for instructions.

I, too, stood up and raised my voice. "All of you," I said, "listen to the order. Once they light the fire, I'll get everyone to safety. As for what happens after that, play it by ear. Well, let's go."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"You're not kidding us, chief." Nanova asked in amazement.

"No, just do as I tell you." I waved my hand.

Our own people knew about the portal to the other world, and they dispersed. The Nano clan followed.

When I go outside, Zhang Yutong and Luci followed together, out of the house, two people left and right arm in my arm.

I climbed up with them, and could see the boulders of the cave in the middle of the passage,

"Brother Lu Fei, are you trying to attract their people down?" Zhang Yutong don't understand of ask: "I how didn't quite understand your plan?"

I smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? We can't get out if we go straight up. When the fire is over, and they send men down, we will take the opportunity to attack."

"Surely they won't all come down, and when we deal with the people below, won't the people above know we're all alive when they hear the shots?" Zhang Yutong asked.

I shook my finger. "We don't kill people. Don't ask questions. You'll see."

The three of us spent the morning on a rock, watching bundle after bundle of firewood fall.

After lunch, I let Wu Wa lead the women, took some more water bottles, detour to clean the pond to draw water, he selected a few strong from the Nanuo clan, let them with me, picked a diamond shaped long stone, several people together to carry the stone into the cliff.

I went in alone and let them push the long stone into the crevasses. After dragging it in, they all peered into the crevasses.

"Chief, this cave is deep. Are you going to take us all and hide in it when they set fire to it?"

"Yes, you'll see how wonderful this cave is." I'm not trying to be mysterious, I'm just too lazy to give them a detailed explanation, because they'll understand what's going on when they get inside.

"Even if there were rocks blocking the entrance, the smoke would drift in, wouldn't it?" "Another challenged.

"It is not to keep out the smoke, but to make your kingdom think that this is a crevice and not a cave to hide in." I explained.

One of the natives suddenly laughed, "Chief, I know what you're planning. When they see the iron gate, they'll open it and go inside and look for us. Then we can hold the iron gate and kill everyone inside. When we have weakened them, it will be much easier to go up the hill again."

"Half right." I put a hand: "all go down, I want to come out."

Back on the ground, several people crowded around me, asking me what I was going to do.

"I'll make it clear when the time comes, so don't ask." I pointed to the iron gate. "Everybody go back."

When evening came, I sent for Cui Bin and Zhebie, who were guarding the stone gate, but I left the iron plate there, so that the big tribesmen would think that we had just changed the shift, and there were still guards there.

All we need is the fire.

At dinner, two men were posted outside to monitor the situation. As I ate, I explained to everyone what I was going to do next. When the horde started the fire, we retreated into the crevices of the rocks, and when the fire was over and the horde sent for a survey, we watched the bottom of the sinkhole and took our time. If they all enter the house, we will block the iron gate with stones, and then directly climb up the cliff tunnel, remove the rope and rope ladder at the fracture, and directly attack the top of the mountain. There will be fewer people on the mountain, and their guard will be relaxed. It's definitely in our favor.

"Wait a minute." Cui Bin stretched out his hand and said, "Lu Fei, why should we save their lives? Why not just kill them?"

I nodded. "Of course we can, but our purpose is to surprise the horde, and if we kill down there, we'll make a noise and the people up there will know we're not dead. Once we get to the top of the mountain, we'll push the people up to the sea, where you were, and then we'll get out of Falls As fast as we can. Find the ship and go straight to the horde. It won't take long for the men we've cornered in the house to get out, and they'll call up for help, and when the horde gets back to the falls, they'll rescue their own people, no doubt. It'll take a long time, and they'll have to watch out for any ambushes we've set up in the mountains. We'll be near the horde by the time they know we've left."

Cui Bin nodded: "This is also good, to buy us more time. By the time they return to the horde, the horde will already be in our hands."

"That's right." I arranged, "Then we wait for them to set fire to it."

Before he had finished speaking, there was a shout outside.

"Chief, fire, fire."

The sentry came running in and told us that the men of the big tribe had first shot down a lot of bows and arrows, but when there was no counterattack, they stopped. Soon large burning haystacks were thrown in and the woodpile was set ablaze.

After listening to his report, I quickly stood up and said, "Everyone go to the warehouse to get a pair of armor, and then directly follow Cui Bin and them into the stone crevice."

After they had all taken their armour, I locked all the doors in turn. When I returned to the iron gate, I saw that the fire had been burning vigorously. Half of the bottom of the sinkhole was immersed in the fire, and the smoke was gathering intensively, flying around the fire like clouds and mist.

Our men are filing into the crevices.

The fire is a big, nothing can resist, those trees were a fire singed, instantly turned into a fire tree, can clearly see the fire like a snake, in each branch leap up.

"Lu Fei, it's your turn." Cui Bin shouted.

Smoke was already drifting towards us. I coughed and scrambled up. When I went in, I saw others creeping along the narrow passage. Together with Cui Bin, we set up the long stones stacked in the stone crevices and blocked the stone crevices. We also hurried to follow.

The narrow passage led to a cave on the other side, which was large enough to allow a man to slip easily into it.

"You did?" I asked.
